Trainer MulQueen returns from the
rowing events at the Olympic games in
London with the opinion that the Eng
fish style of rowing is more suitable 10
smooth water than is the style of rowing
eStant in this country. This is equivalent
to saying that the British oarsmen .re
superior to the Americans, because
racing with shells must of neces-
sity occur when the water is smooth.
There is no successful rowing in this
country when the water is tumbling
about under the influence of wind and
current.

heavy.

An accident at Sonderburg, Germany.
by which four sailors of the German
navy lost their lives reveals the existence
of danger even in the mechanical trans
mission of signals which it is generally
supposed obviates all danger of error.
A cruiser was returning to the harbor
from target practice, and during drill
in lowering a cutter in obedience to a
signal Man overheard" an order to
back the cruiser was enormously trans
mitted Go ahead" and the cutter was
capsized with fatal result Modern war
ships and many commercial vessels
utilize electric signalling to the fullest
extent; but if there is danger of mis-
takes such as that which occurred on the
German cruiser there will be uneasiness
where there has been absolute confidence
But it will be generally suspected that
the officer in command of the German
cruiser blundered. This is matter
which will fall to the court martial that
is usual in such cases.

Superintendent Harry Baker, of the
Eye and Ear Hospital at 81 Livingston
street, Brooklyn, asked a Junior nurse
to do chambermaid's work, the other
day, and she protested against anything
of the kind. She said her place was to
take care of the sick, and that duty she
was always ready faithfully to perform.
Other junior nurses in the Institution
said the same thing. The superintend.
ent argued and pleaded, calling atten,
ton to the circumstance that patients
are few during the summer months and
the chambermaid's work is light but
one and all stoutly refused and when
given the alternative of complying or
quitting, they left the hospital in a
body. How will social philosophers in
terpret an incident like this, of which
many parallels could be addueed by
constant readers of the newspapers.
Does ii indicate reversion to class
prejudices in the United States-a spirit
of caste-or shall it be hailed as a sign
of progress-insistence upon the division
of labor?

Perhaps it is going to be more diff
icult than formerly, for a while at
least, TO delude the people into throw
ing their good money into gambling
speculation. The failure of one of the
largest brokerage concerns in New York
yesterday indicates a state of things
which rarely exists. Heretofore as a
rule brokers made money whether the
stock market went up or down, for the
broker gets commissions both ways
when his customer buys and when he
sells. But when the public retires from
the market-when the volume of trans
actions is reduced-then there are hard
times for brokerage houses; and that
seems to be the situation just now.

There have been many folks who sup
posed that they detected a CLEAN of
romance in the Ferdinand Pinney Earle
affinity wedding, but it turns out to be
very sordid affair-at least so far as
the artist is concerned who paid his wife
who was the mother of his first children
TO go away with them and leave him
free to devote himself to a young wom-
an whom he had discovered to be his
"soul-mate." The ''soul-mate' is now
his wife, nursing young baby, but her
relatives have had the artist arrested
for brutality quarreling with her and
striking her in the face. Perhaps Fer
dinand Pinney Earle is insane. At any
rate the experiment which he has per
formed with so much publicity shows
that an affinity wedding may fall short
Of the expectations entertained by the
man and be anything but a foretaste
of Paradise for the woman.

WRIGHT AND CLOTHIER TO MATE
Former Tennis Champions VIII Play
Together In Doubles.

NEW YORK, July 3.-Beals Wright and
J. c. Clothier are going to form
a doubles tennis team this year and they
will make a determined bid for the cham
pionship. The two e"X-champions have
started in to play with determination and
will be seen at Longwood during the week
of July q, in the eastern doubles cham
pionship. Both of the men will enter
Newport this year unless they meet with
some mishaD in the meantime. Two ex-
peCted absentees Of the first rank at
Newport will probably be Frederick b.
Alexander and Karl Behr. The former
has a very bad ankle. Behr, while play
ing, is having trouble with his shoulder.
Whether or not these two will be in shape
remains to be seen. One of the stars OF
the tennis world said that non OF the
topnotchers would enter the New York
State championship this year, because il is
played on the dirt courts Of the New York
Athlete club at Saten Island.

Rhodes is Here ana wiI BE in Game
Sunday.

c. A. Rhodes, Pas new pitcher from the
St. Louis Nationals, arrived IN town Satur-
day morning, and Immediately hied himself
to the Smoke House. He was then taken
clean uniform. Rhodes was scheduled to
watch the Champions in action Saturday
afternoon and to do the twirling act in one
of the games of the double-header Sun
day afternoon. Captain Franck was very
much elated over his new acquisition. He
said the Omaha team as a whole had
been doing some splendid work and
deserved the position at the head of the
Western league. He said the only draw
back had been the pitchers, who were a
little out of whack. Sanders and Raglan
have been absolutely reliable and now that
Rhodes is here he hopes to have a third
pitcher on whom he can rely to win games
ana not lose them in the ninth inning
after they have already been won.

Truth About Conditions In
land Coming out mt Last.
NEW YORK, July 26.-Clark Griffith did
not quit the Yankees of his own accord,
but was forced out. The newest thing in
the Griffith case is that he had a row
with Frank Farrell, the owner of the club.
and was told that his resignation was ac-
ceptable.
II these rumors are true, then Griffith
was interfered with in the management of
the team. Pitcher Hogg is said to have
been the cause of the trouble. Hogg, 1t is
alleged, complained to Frank Farrell that
he was not being given enough work. Mr..
Farrell ordered Griff to work Hogg, and
the manager obeyed. But when Hogg made
q miserable showing. Mr.. Farrell ordered
Manager Griffith to fine and suspend
Hogg. Griff refused to do this, on the
plea that he never would take money
away from a player. This, it is reported,
led to the row. \Elberfeld. the new man
ager, in spite OF strenuous efforts, has
not been able to make any Improvement in
the clubs showing, and it is also rumored
that he will retire at the end of the sea-
son. A good job" consequently, awaits
somebody.

DAN PATCH TO GIVE EXHIBITIONS
Famous PAGER to Make One or Two
Trials This Fall.

ST. PAUL, July 25.-Dan Patch will go
but one or two, IL any, exhibition miles
during the harness racing season. The
champions energies will not be wasted
in going fast miles over poor tracks in bad
weather and at inopportune times. His
strength and speed will be conserved for
one mighty effort to establish a new
worlds record. This effort will be made
at whatever time and place the most
perfect conditions exist The program
for the champion harness horse is a radi-
cal departure from those of the past five
years. It was decided upon by his owner,
NJ. w Savage only after mature con-
sideration.
As a result of his decision numerous
propositions for exhibition dates have been
refused. Dan will travel around the grand
circuit with the Savage racing stable. In
this way whenever track, weather and
horse are in perfect condition at the same
time Dan will be sent against time, and
it is believed by those who know him
best that he will succeed in lowering his
already phenomenal record of 1855. Mr..
Savage believes that Dan will make a mile
in lisa this year.
