AMERICAN WON
MARATHON RACE
Came in Second, But Winner
Collapsed and Was Carried
to the Goal

Windsor, July 24-The starting of
the Marathon race, 26 miles and 3S5
yards to the stadium, the most inter-
esting event of all the Olympic games,
from the east terrace of Windsor cas-
tie, was beautiful scene which will
be memorable in the annals of sport.
The runners from many nations as
sembled under the gigantic oak at the
top of the broad emerald lawn which
slopes to the eastward with the tow
ering gray battlements of the castle
in the background. The green slopes
beneath the walls of Windsor castle
were thrown open to the spectators
by the kings order and the lawns
were packed as the picked distance
runners of the world gradually as
sembled on the great east terrace of
the castle.
Fifty-five men toed the starting line,
Wood of Canada and Nattlebeck of
Germany withdrawing at the last mo-
ment. The men were lined up in four
rows close behind one another like a
file of troops. 1t was impossible to
string out the huge field in one line
so the start was made in this way.
At 2:33, three minutes after the ad-
vertised starting time the crack of the
pistol sent the men off on their long
run of over twenty-six miles. The Ca
madam led the field with the rest
punched close up. The race was won
by Dorando, the Italian runner. Do
rando collapsed 200 yards from the
finish. He struggled to his feet and
tried to cover the remaining distance
but was soon down again. He could
not continue His collapse was COM
plete and officials practically carried
him to the finish.
Hayes. the American. came in Sec
ond. Americans then entered a pro-
test against the assistance rendered
Dorando at the finish. Every person
on the press stand saw the officials
pick up the Italian and carry him sew
eral feet. Hayes finished two minutes
later without assistance.
The American protest has been up
held. This makes John F.. Hayes, the
rish-American A. G. the winner

Society Women Threw Lemons at the
Actors. Who Retaliated.

Prescott, Arizona, July 24.-At a
matinee yesterday at the Elks theater
a box party of society women threw
lemons and rice at the players on the
stage. The actors retaliated in kind
and the box party left. At the per-
formance last night the same box was
occupied by a party of men. After the
curtain went up the men made re-
marks about the players that could be
heard all over the theater. They were
invited to leave and refused to go.
Then things began to happen.
The box party was composed of
John Mason Rose, president of the
Territorial Bar association; Lieut.. G.
8. Hoyt, stationed at Fort Whipple;
DR.. A. j. Marietta, surgeon for Sen

fight followed. 1t was "knock down
and drag out affair."" and finally su-
perior numbers of police and theater
attaches conquered, and the members
of the box party were thrown out.

member of the Elks' club, were badly

RAPED CHURCH MUSIC
"Two.by. -Four" Tunes Get Caustie
Comment from High.BrOw
HIGH. Brow.

Chautauqu, N. Y, July 24.-C. G.
Washburn, director of music at Van
derbilt university, in an address today
on "The Relation of the Church to
Music as an Art" held up church
music and church hymnals to search
ing criticism and condemned the two
by-fbur" tunes as poor church
prop" which ought to be relegated
to the attic.
,Ragtime hymns, the speaker said,
were too often used at camp meetings
as means Of converting people, and
travelling evangelists who sell their
own hymnals were condemned as "out
for cash." In classifying denomina-
tional music Mr.. Washburn placed the
Episcopal first and the Methodist Sec
ond.
"If the Sunday schools were up-to-
date" Mr.. Washburn said, "they would
at least keep pace with the develop
ment of music as 1t is taught in the
public schools. Sunday school hymns
are worse than mediocre and should
be changed for strong musical hymns
which will bring out the best musical
and esthetic appreciations Of the
child"
The singing found in the ordinary
church Mr.. Washbur criticised in no
uncertain terms.

Another Lad to Court.

Judge Van B. Prather of the Wyan-
dotte county probate court yesterday
when he found that Harry Antonovitch

Joseph and his brother Matthew,
were charged with throwing stones
and being very bad boys. Both were
ordered into court yesterday morning
and their father, Isaac Rodencih, ap-
peared with the two boys.
Matthew, what have you to saw to
this charge?" the Judge asked the
smaller of the boys.
Matthew hung his head and the
father explained that he had been led
astray by older boys. After scolding
him the Judge told him to 20 home
and instructed the probation officer to
look after him.
""And what have you to say, Joe?"
asked the judge, turning to the other
boy:
"My name is Harry" the boy replied.
This complaint is for Joe. How Is
this?" asked the Judge.
Joe is working. so I brought this
boy who belongs to the gang-one is
Just as bad as the other," the father
explained.
"Well!" exclaimed the Judge.
"One boy as bad as the other" the
father continued
"Now. look here" the Judge said,
you go home and bring your own boy
here by 8 o'clock, or I'll put you in
JAIL"
At the appointed hour the father
came back with Joseph. Aver scold-
Ing Joseph was also place. in the
care Of the probation officer.

Newark, July 24.-"Kill me II you
like, IL that will save her" said Pat
rick Bradley calmly when doctors
told him the only hope for his wife's
life lay In the transfusion of blood
from his veins to hers.
Remember" warned the surgeons,
there is chancs this will cause your
DEATH"
5"Ill take the chance" retorted
Bradley. He. did. After the last rights
Of the Roman Catholic church had
been administered to husband and
wife the delicate and dangerous oper-
alton was performed. The next day
Mrs. Bradley was In good condition
IN st. James hospital and the physi-
clans predicted her complete recovery.

pital for week. In the last eight
years she had suffered from hemorrh-
ages. which threatened her life.
Within the last few weeks she be-
came so anaemic that 1t was decided
to bring her to the hospital for con-
sultation.
The physicians there agreed there
was not hope for her unless fresh
blood could be infused into her veins.
Her husband. a big. powerful man,
weighing 100 pounds and in perfect
health, was informed he probably
could be the means Of saving her.
Without hesitation he offered himself
for the operation. The wife hesitated
at first, but he was insistent, and she
gave her consent to the sacrifice.
On the following day Bradley
went to the room where his wife lay
on cot, so emaciated that she weigh
ed less than a hundred pounds.
Father DonneNy of st. James parish
entered the room with Bradley, carry
ing bible.
The two men knelt at tho cot. and
the priest offered prayer that the
sacrifice might not be in vain. Then
the last rites of the church were ad-
husband stopped over and gathering
ministered. A moment afterwerd the
the frail form Of his wife in his power
full arms, lifted her from the cot and
carried her to the operating table.
On that table husband and wife were
laid side by side. Both were fully
conscious.
After using local applications of CO.
caine the surgeons made slit in
Bradley's wrist, opening the artery
and inserted one end of a silver tube.
A similar slit was made in the vein
In his wife's leg and In it the other
end of the tube was inserted.
Immediately the mans blood be-
gan forcing its way into the shrunken
veins of the woman's body.
But the veins of the ankle had clos
ed almost entirely and it soon became
evident little could be accomplished
unless other veings could be found
that would offer less resistance to the
flow of blood. The operation was be-
gun at 8 o'clock. and it was not until
noon that receptive veins were found
near the hip. Into one of these the
end of the tube was inserted and q sat
isfactory flow. of blood was obtained.
Within short time the effect was
evident. The color came to the wo-
nansA faded cheeks, and the physician
carefully noting the condition of her
|pGfSe. telt n become stronger with
every beat. Meantime her husbands
pulse strong at first, became gradu-
a1ly weaker and weaker When the
operation was ended 1t was estimated
that fully quart of blood had been
transfused.
To the astonishment of the physi-
clans Bradley recovered from the op-
Grafton in less than a day. Mrs. Brad
ley will remain in the institution for
several weeks, as it will take long
time for her to regain strength.

Quebec. July 24-The splendor
which marked the welcome Of the
Prince Of Wales yesterday was largely
duplicated last night when Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks, the oflcial represen-
tative OF the United States. was the
guest of honor Of the city and Canada.
A magnificent display Of fire works
on the heights of Lewis showed in
hery outline the portrait Of King Ed
ward, the falls OF Montmorenci, and
the battle between Wolfe and Mont
calm. In the evening Vice President
Fairbanks was the guest of honor. In
responding to the official welcome and
the speech of the prince. he said:
Your Royal Highness: acknow-
ledge with grateful appreciation the
welcome which you so generously
extend. The sentiments which you are
pleased to express with regard to my
country;I receive with profound sensi-
,bility They are renewed evidence of
that. respect and cordial good VIII.
which has so long existed between

serve their amicable relations.
Permit me to extend my hearty con-
gratulations upon the distinction
which she enjoys in the presence of
Your Royal Highness and upon the
enthusiasm with whic hshe has vel
coined you within her gates. It is, in
deed, signal honor which you have
done her. It is happy circumstance
which brings you across the sea- The
event is one which will be long treas
-ured among the annals of Quebec.
The eyes of the western world are
upon this historic city. The celebra-
tion of the tercentenary of Champ
lain's founding OF Quebec is altogether
admirable both In the comprehensive
ness Of its inception and the excellence
of its execution, and is an event which
awakens interest not only in the Do
minion OF Canada, but in the United
States as we'll. From this point as
base intrepid explorers blazed the
pathway of civilization through track
less forests and explored lakes and
rivers IN territory which is now with
in the Jurisdiction Of the United States.
