Didn't Know Business.

I'm the first place. the program was
badly arranged, instead of concluding one
event. the officials took up another race
This prevented men from taking part in
more than one race. They should have
gone through the heats. the semi-finals
and the final of one race before starting
the heats of another race. Then all those
competent to enter could have started.
AS matter of fact. ii was entirely too
big a proposition for the men handling
it. and they would not look anywhere
for help.
II never shall forget as long as / live
the scene during the 400-meter race. The
public has been inflamed against the
Americans, and the judges taking sig
nal from some man on the field. threw
up their hands. broke the tape and called
the race off before they knew what had
happened. It Is ridiculous for them TO
saw that they could see what happened

America Will Not Forget.

Nevertheless. Il Is not likely to be
dropped or forgotten for some time. The
officials of the Amateur Athletic associ-
alton have announced that they propose
to bring the complaint formally to the
attention of the Amateur Athletic union
regarding Carpenters alleged foul. and
the officials of the A. A. L. are resolved
to make a strong reply. Hence acrimoni-
Gus correspondence Is likely to stir up
further feeling and probably prolong the
dispute.
Despite the conservatism OF the press.
the English are imbued with fierce
prejudice against American athletes which
1t probably will cherish for years to come.
The Italians feel that they have been
treated unfairly by the awarding of the
Marathon race to the American, Hayes.
and they always will believe there was
q possibility that Dorando would have
reached the winning place first alone If he
had not been dragged to his feet and
pushed along by the excited track Off
Gals although practically every one who
saw his struggle believes that it would
have been utterly impossible for him TO
have arisen after his last collapse and
that probably he could not have kept up
after his second fall. They also feel that
n was unchivalrous and ungenerous in the
Americans to claim what the Italians call
a technical victory under the circum-
stances.
The Olympiad leaves minor heartburn
ings with the representatives of other
nations and altogether. while an athletic
success as a means OF promoting inter
national friendship 1t has been deplor-
able failure.

 Picayune.
 saddened and dispirited because of the sudden ourtailment of his bril- liant command of the battleship Mis- souri, one of the vessels of the great Atlantic fleet, Captain G. A. Merriam died of a broken heart His widow in making this statement, so far as I relates to his transfer, is corroberat ed by the records of the Navy Depart ment. Captain Merriam died In Ports mouth. N. H.. few days ago of "enf bolism of the heart, following aa operation for appendicitis" as shown by the records. Mrs Merriam de clared. however, that she was convine- ed that feeling that he had been ur- justly disgraced by the Navy Depart ment in the taking away of his bai- tleship was directly the cause of hIs death.
 'He took the Missouri through tie Straights of Magellan to the Goidfn Gate without a single untoward ind- dent,' said Mrs. Merriam. And hs detach ment from the vessel which le had expected to command until tie Atlantic coast was reached agan caused him intense mental suffering"
 Mrs. Merriam charged that her htIs- band was transferred by the depart- ment. upon the request of AdmitaI Sperry, when he succeeded Admifal Evans in command of the fleet, on t1e elieged ground that "his discipiineFwas a menace to the NavX" It was stated by an officer of the Bureau of Nafi- gation that Captain Merriam had been transferred upon the request of Ad- miral Sperry when the Admiral tosk command, but that he did not remen- ber the reason assigned. He stattd further that he had recently receivtd a letter from Mrs. Merriam in which she said that her husband was very we'll satisfied with his station as com manding officer of the Portsmouth Navy-yard.

NINE WITH LAMPS OF HONOR.
Homes of New York Mayors sin Mark.
 After the Auefeut rusto,.

Homes of New York Mayors st,il Mark.a
 After the Ancient Custom.
 There are now nine houses with lamps of honor in front of them in New York. ana only nine. although the custom of thus marking the home of the mayor of that city dates back some $50 years.
 It Is believed that the custom originated in the days of the Dutch occupation. when the burgomasters were escorted from their palaces of evening entertainment or off ciai duty to their homes by watchmen car rying lanterns. These lanterns were left hanging In front of the burgomaster's door as an aditionaj protection to so important q man against thieves and other evil per- sons.
 Those who are curious about such mat ters have been able to trace this custom back for 250 years. as has been said, but the first official recognition of the cus- tom dates back only little more than a century ago. An entry has been found fin an old city account book of the pay ment of 2s 3d. In December f79s, to Jabez Brown. '1ampiighter to his Worship. May or Richard varick."
 Ono of the evidences that the custom was observed in far back times was found in the catalogue of the sale of antiques by Thomas Braithewaite In 1901, where in one of the articles offered was describ- ed as "a lamp said to have been used to illurnine the front of the house of Mayor Cornelius Steenwyck in Maiden Lane and to have been used for the same purpose by three of his successors-DaIavall, Nicholis and Lawrence" That lamp was boxlike. with four wooden posts resting q wooded flood and supporting brass hood.
 The rapidity with which the city Is be- ing torn down and rebuilt is strikinplv suggested by the fact that the oldest prcs. ent example of this very ancient custom dates back only to 1875. when the lanns now to be seen in front of the wickham family residence at Lexington avenue and Thirty-ninth street. were erected in tba first year of the term of Mayor William H Wickham.
 The Mayor Grace lamps at 3i East sev enty-ninth street are lighted every night as regularly those in front of the resi- dence of Mayor Mcclellan. at 10 Wash ington Square. north. The same can be said of the lamps placed in front of the home of the late Abram S. Hewitt at Lex ington avenue and Twenty-second street. and of those before the houses of Mayors Grant and Gilroy.
 The present occupants of the former home of Mayor Strong. in West Fifty-sev- snth street, pay to have the lamps of hon. or lighted. The Strong family no longer living there the city has ceased to main tain the lamps. The other two sets of lamps mark the homes of Franklin Edson and Seth Low.
 Although this custom was started in the time of the Dutch burgomasters a des- cendant of the Dutch is the only mayor,

Farman Believes The Plans Arc Better
 Than His Own.
 New York Globe
 The first fruit of the retirement of Thomas A. Edison. the great inventor. has come in the announcement that he has in- vented a flying machine which Henri Far man, the French aeroplanst, thinks is bet ter than the machine he brought from France. So interested was the Frenchman that he went out ote Edison laboratory today to talk with the inventor about it.
 Mir. Edison has got no farther. far. than the plans, but that is the whole job with him. He sent to Mir. Farman yester day plans for a ship that would not only fly. but would ascend from the ground straight up to a height at which the flight might begin MT Farman's machine is a running start on wheels.
 The French aeronaut was surprised when he received the plans. He did not know the S1 nEenc4r was so neePy lnterss.ed s,S a m sns came an invitation to the aeroplanist and his wife to visit MT. Edison at Orange. So. with his wife and William J. Hammer, of the Aero Club, he went out today to the Edison laboratories. They spent the day with the inventor and went over the sub ject of flying machines from every point
 Though Mir Edison's plans for an afr ship have not been finished in the detail the work of building might begin. the rest of the work is mere detail. The main prin- clples Dy reason or Wnlcn the macnlne Will rise and then fly have been settled by the inventor. He is satisfied that little more Is left than to put the thing together and start the flight
 The subject came up the other day when Augustus Post, of the Aero Club. who is a friend of MT. Farman, was calling on Mir Edison. They talked of Farman and air ships. and Mir Edison sat down there and then and drew a rough sketch of an air ship which he believed would rise and would fly Mir Post charmed and he brought the sketch over to Mir. Farman.
 why. that is better than my machine" >the Frenchman exclaimed enthusiastically He readily agreed to talk over the subject with inventor today.

Well, he died last summer. and when his affairs came to be examined. if was found that he had left the girl an immense fortune--something like quarter of a miilion!'
 Mrs. Tudor suddenly pushed away her coffee cup and sat up.
 Yes, I can tell you that 1t made ey- cry one thereabouts sit up, Aunt Laura They were misled by shabbiness and economy
 NO wonder he was rich--all saving and no spending" she exclaimed.
 NO spending, certainly! I believe the girl was as much astonished as If some one had given her bang on the head.''
 "She was stunned, eh?'--and faint smile fitted across the old lady's lips.
 q should think so: being dismissed fatigue-dutys in. a sick-room, and not having to ask leave for every blessed thing, not to speak of owning tons or money. nearly turned the poor crea- ture's brain, and, like birds who have been long in captivity.sshe reipsed 70 Hutter her wings or leave her cage. and there she hung on with the old servants-liying precisely as petore'

 You see. all her life she had been among old people and treated as child, and she had not the courage 10 lift the latch of the nsrsery door ana walk out"
 "But she presumably has walked out" argued Mrs. Tudor. Did any one befriend herr"
 Mrs. CoIson motored over once to see her. She said she seemed like thing that had been kept on Ice! and the Grange was enough to give any one the blue devils:s the girl seemed afraid of her ownvoice and terrified of the old, servants. She escorted Mrs. Colson hound the garden--the usual country-visit treat! Such place!-- all box and dead fruit trees--and they slunk about it together. as if they were trespassing. Mrs. Colson asked the girl to spend a couple; of days with her, but. of course, she never did, and after that she fell i'll, and the an- cient retainers called In a doctor-- anyway, some one did--and. he fright ened them properly. and said the heiress was in bad way: sort of gen eral breakdown, would slip through their fingers if they did not look out. and ordered her complete change and sunshine; talked of consumption and melanch olia."

 Then there was no end of jawing, havering, and consulting-the lawyer, doctor. and parson were all in 1t. Who was to undertake the charge of the patient. show her the sunny youth. and give her a good time"
 Well, who?" asked Mrs. Tudor.
 "The lawyer suggested a chaperone who spent half the year on the Conti- nent-a charming widow, most highly suitable in every respect--in short. a member of his own family. She was fond of society. and devoted to young people, but unhappily without funds to gratify her tastesl The lady was sounded. and gave her cordial assent to the plan; 1t was arranged through her lawyer and agent that Miss Forde was to accompany her to Biarritz. paying all travelling and hotel ex. penses, also "a further sum of f20 a month for the glory and honor of Mrs Britten's society"

Russia,s Bond Sale.


 What will Russia do with the S3S0.- 00o, ,oe0 which it is announced will be realized from the sale of bonds? Nd one else will be so keeniy alive to the answer as Japan. It is presumed that part of the money will be used to refund outstanding debts, but there will be a great balance.
 Russia is busily engaged in laying a double track on it's great Siberian Railway. That fact is of peculiar in terest to Japan. Does the Czar want to multiply by two the capacity of that railway to the Pacific just to reach a winter harbor at Vladiyostok, now that Port Arthur and warm water have been cut off?
 The Great Bear never moves back ward. It may be halted in itseprogress, but it is the most patient of all gov ernments. This quiet reaching out again with a second hand across Sibe- ria and the huge fund of money that is to be raised may have deeper significance for Japan and Manchurfa than now seems evident.
