London Versus Olympia.

From the New York Evening Post.
British craftsmanship has been puz-
cling the world of late by the manifes-
tation of spirit peculiarly alien to the
traditional Anglo-Saxon attitude in the
matter of winning and losing games.
The tradition has been that whether he
wins or loses makes no difference to
the Englishman. provided the play has
been fair. The exact fact would seem to
be, however. that Englishmen. no less
than Rooshans. Frenchmen, Turks or
Prooshans hate to lose; and that when
defeat rankles with particular violence.
as in the case of boat race lost to a
Belgian crew or golfing title to "a
Frenchmen, there is perceptible tend
ency to indulge in the process vul-
carly but picturesquely described by
sportsmen as "bellyaching." What term.
for instance, can better characterize
the tone with which large part Of the
British public has. by anticipation. been
speaking of the failure of the Olympic
games. which for the fifth time since
their arrival at Athens in 1894 are to
oe held in the stadium of the Franco
British exhibition next Monday? The
committee in charge of the games has
found it necessary to send out des-
perate appeal for funds to pay for the
entertainment of the visiting athletes
the elementary duty Of a host, 1t would
seem-and the response has not been
teverish. But more significant still has
been the criticism directed against the
Olympic scheme in itself by leading au-
thorities in sport 1t is the final way in
which the digestive ailment we have
described expresses itself. First man
argues that he wasn't in very good
shape for the contest, and then he an
nounces that the game isn't worth play
ing, anyhow

TELEGRAPH ON THE KEYS"
Poles Set in Solid Rock and Guyed
for Storm Protection.
From the Jacksonville Times Union.

From the Jacksonville Times Union.
Mr. v. r. Huskey. who has hadscharge
Of installing the telegraph and telephone
lines on the Florida keys for the Western
Union Telegraph Company and the ex-
tension railway. finally finished his labor
and leaves today for Hartselle, Ala, his
home. Mr.. Huskey has had a. hard time
the past year, but he finally had the
satisfaction OF seeing one of the best, IL
not the best. pieces of work finished in
the south. Practically every hole had to
be blasted. and poles are, Of course. set in
solid rock, and to prevent any sagging
of the poles and for storm protection the
entire line is storm guyed, or, to make it
plain. every fifth pole is side guyed or
fastened and every fifteenth pole is storm
guyed. These guy wires are fastened TO
anchors. holes are drilled between poles
and between tracks and poles, and an
chors are firmly forced into holes. and the
same are cemented, thus protecting poles
and wires from injury by squalls.
At Jewish and Indian Key: channels
submarine cables were used, as at these
points water is deep and drawbridges are
maintained, and on account OF many boats
passing through it was found expedient
to maintain the service under water in
stead of overhead. Aerial cables are used
I'm temporary work of construction Of the
railroad and to go around trestles. as
these aerial cables have to be moved quite
frequently. 1t was found necessary to
use quite quantity of submarine cable
around the trestle by the extension tele-
phone line to protect the wires. The di-
ameter of the submarine cable used is one
and quarter inch. and consists Of three
wires, steel armored. juted and tarred,
making it very strong. perfectly water
tight and non-porous and a perfect con-
ductor of electricity inside, yet a nom
conductor outside The aerial cable Is one
half inch in diameter, covered with rubber
and tar, rendering 1t a non- conductor.

the home of Mr.. Eugene A. Bvrnes, 1898

a burglar about 1870 o'clock last night,
when the latter attempted to break into
the residence.
Mr.. Byrnes left the city some time ago
for the summer and employed Scott as
Waterman. He was sleeping In the base
ment of the house when he was suddenly
awakened by the crash of glass. Quickly
donning his clothes, Scott ran to the floor
above and found burglar has climbed
up a back porch to the second story
where he had attempted to break in
through the door. Finding that the door
would not give way, he turned his atten-
ton to large window and broke the
glass.
wnen Scott saw the man about to
enter the window he ran up and grabbed
hold of him. A tussel ensued, but the
burglar proved the stronger. and throwing
scott aside, jumped out of the window
and made his escape from the porcn,
he ran through the back yard and vaulteo
the fence before he could be Cvertaken
Scott attempted to follow the man, but
he was TOO feet footed and escaped in the
darkness of the alley.

was found week ago OH the bank OF
Teal pond.
| The statement made by Carrie weaver
in Dayton, Ohio. yesterday that she and
Hazel went on trip to New York July

evidently an error so far as dates go.
| The girls made the trip to the metropolis

following Monday morning. Hazel at
that time told her friend that she in

Cary OF her change Of plans. but I am
sure she had not intended to deceive her."
Made Trips to Cities.
Hazel apparently had a propensity for
travelling. She had made several trips to
New York, Boston and Providence. Her
brother. Joseph Drew who lives in this
city, says that after the eastern trip in
April she wrote her mother telling her
what good time she had had.
Hazel was ill for two weeks last winter
at the home of her uncle William Taylor
Her brother Joseph says that no physi-
clan was called, and he does not know
the nature of the girls illness. As soon
as she had recovered she obtained EN-.
ployment at the home of Prof. Cary,
where she remained until few days be.
fore her murder.
That Hazel had very little money with
her at the time of her death, probably not
more than the five-cent piece that was
found In the finger-tips Of one or her
gloves, is the opinion Of the authorities.
They have. ascertained that she owed $50
to dressmaker, and that on the night
OF July : she paid this debt, after hav-
ing borrowed - from her mother to make
up the amount. On July 4, when she left

True Philosophy Of Life.
President Arthur T. Hadley, Yale University,
Leslie's Weekly.

President Arthur r. Hadley, Yale University, in
Leslie's Weekly.
Every day and every hour we have to
be making choices. Sometimes the matter
to be decided is one like the choice Of a
profession. which will affect our whole fu-
ture life, and which demands months of
careful thought. Sometimes it is mere
trivial choice of what we shall eat or
drink. what we shall say or do for our
amusement. which is settled upon the
instant and then forgotten. This principle
we call a mans philosophy OF life. A
child can perhaps get on without such a
philosophy, content to decide each ques-
ton under the controlling impulse or con-
trolling force of the moment. A man can
not-at least not unless me is content TO
remain intellectually and morally child.
He cannot act on one principle at one
moment and another principle at another
moment, and expect anybody to trust him.
He will have no stability of character;
nay, if we are to define character as the
habit of doing the same thing under diff
ferent circumstances. he will be destitute
Of character itself. If you know what sort
of principles a man Is governed by, you
can tell what to rely upon.

Evolution Of Roof Gardens.
From IIeslie's Weekly

New York is pre-eminently the city of
roof gardens. Other cities have attempted
to follow suit in presenting the unique
out-of-door theatricals but as a Chine Sc
titbit served in American. style in an
American eating place loses its flavor. so
do roof gardens fail to twinkle without
Broadway. In 1889 the first midair show
blossomed out on Broadway. and New
Workers. always keen for something new,
hailed the innovation with great delight
and bought tickets for themselves and for
their friends, until the lucky manager
who had hit upon the idea waxed fat and
prosperous. A season of prosperity natu-
rally brought many imitators and soon
the amusement seeker had wide choice
of roof gardens to attend on a sultry sum-
mer evening. The first sky garden began
its career with q little vaudeville Offering
a few dancers, skit. jggler or two,
and possibly troupe of trained animals.
The audiences were permitted to smoke,
and cooling beverages were dispensed to
make the city's heat tolerable. The enter
tainment was simple, and the luxury and
novelty of mounting far above the heated
sidewalk and away from the grind of the
street made for success more than any
other feature of the theater.
