right hand offend thee, cut it off and
cast it from thee" w. A. Gaffney,

TAR ON sTREETs.

A very grave mistake was made
when tar was put down on the
Twelfth street wood block. The PEG
pie OF that community will not be
rid Of this nuisance for at least twelve
months. 1t is true, as contended, in
justification OF the use OF tar, that il
preserves the wood. The crude tar
will never be a suitable material for
use on city streets, and this is fact
that should have been well known to
the engineering department Of Norfolk.

CLEVELAND, where the idea of a
''safe and sane" celebration of the
Fourth OF July was first put into prac-
tics, has set another example for other
cities to follow. A charity worker
with fertile brain has succeeded in
having distributed about the city
thousands OF frecracker banks, in
which persons are asked to drop the
money that they would have contrib
uted toward noise and lockjaw if the
old way Of celebrating the day was still
followed. The funds thus collected
are to be spent in giving the poorer
children Of Cleveland good time.

The Yale and Harvard Race.

New London, Conn, June o.
From the number Of big yachts that
have already dropped anchor in the
Thames, it is evident today that Thurs
DAYS races between Yale and Harvard
will be witnessed by one Of the largest
and most distinguished gatherings that
ever assembled for the aquatic battles
between the Blue and Crimson.
The crews are in the best possible
physical shape, with the exception OF
the Harvard Cubs, who are still suffer
ing from their sea-sickness of last Sun
day. There is no fear, however, that
they will not be in condition by Thurs
day.
Glowing reports continue to emanate
from the Yale quarters at Gales Ferry.
These have not had the effect OF
changing the odds OF 3 to 2 on Har-
ward, but they have made lot of the
Harvard partisans cease talking about
the easy time that the Cambridge
oarsmen will have. Right now the
Harvard crew would take foot lead
over Yale at the finish and consider
that they had done themselves proud.
Harvard has a great advantage in the
experience of her men and, also,
four pound advantage for each man
in weight, but despite these points of
superiority, the Yale oarsmen have
shown such form in the last few days
that they themselves and their sup
porters are in happy frame OF mind.
Only padding trips were scheduled
for the men OF both camps today.
There will be no more hard rowing un-
til the actual races. The men will do
short spurts and practice starting.

friends and relatives, Mrs. Alice La
Roche died at the county hospital
Sunday evening from tuberculosis.

become of their mother. She was
aged about SO years. The funera,

mains will be inferred at the ex
pense of the county.

SUNG BY PRIMARY

The old saying that necessity is
the mother of invention was eX-
emplified at the Tonopah primary
school yesterday by little colored
scholar. Among the exercises of
the day is the singing of the pa
triotic song, MY Own United
States" one verse of which is as
follows:
Quaint Holland and the fatherland
Theft charms in verse relate
Let me acclaim the land l name,
My own United States"
OF late the teacher had noticed
that the little colored boy was
singing the verse, with more gusto
than the remainder of the class and
on listening found that he had a
version of his own. She called him
to the platform yesterday morning
and asked him to sing the verse
alone. He complied, and the fol
lowing is his version:
"Dave Holland and his father and
Their charms in verse relate
Let me acclaim the land | name
My own United States"
