American college men I'm crowds and
there were several hundred American
women carrying flags of blue and
crimson.

dition, except Herbert w. Kelly, Har-
wards quarter miller who sprained his
ankle.
England defeated America after the
teams tied with four victories each. 1t
was most exciting meet. Philip John
Baker, of Kings College. Cambridge.

in the mile run. The crowd swarmed
on the field at the finish and the band
played God Save the King" Baker
was carried away on the shoulders OF
his comrades.
The only running event captured by.
the Americans was the half mile. won
by II. Nj. Preble of Harvard
In the first event, the hammer throw.
the American team was beaten by an
American, c. II. Putnam, of Kansas, n
Rhodes scholar at Christ church and
member of oxford Cambridge team.
Putnam made 151 feet, g inches;
Childs 140 feet, z inches.
The 12O-yard high hurdles was the

can Macmillan OF Cambridge In 10 1-5
seconds, with Reilly OF Yale, second.
Today's meet was the fourth con-
Quoted between the leading English
and American college athletes, Eng
land having taken two and the Amer

Kelly, the star Harvard 440 yard man,
undoubtedly hurt the chances of the
American team. Kelley sprained his
ankle in training last week and was
unable to participate.

MARKED BY A MIRACLE

Extraordinary excitement has been caused
among the peasants in the neigbborhood of
hiltmagh, County Mayo this week, by a
series of what described as miraculous hap
penings at the convent there q Dublin CORE
spondent OF the St. Louis Globe Democrat
writes.
Among the children who are being educated
by the good nuns Of Kiltimagh is a girl of
thirteen, who has been an inmate of the con-
vent school for the last three or four years
She is described as extremely docile and af
fecuOnate and more than usually religious A
few nights ago one of the nuns was awakened
by fearful screams from the dOrmitOry where
the girl slept and on going to her she was told
that the child had had terrible dream, in
which she saw Christ on the cross and a sol
der driving a lance into his side
The nun comforted her and she went to
sleep but in the morning she complained that
her arm sore and on examination It was
found to be marked with a cross in red and
underneath the cross were the letters Il. II.
S" few days later a crown OF thorns ap-
peared below the cross and the letters q n.
r. L." and these were followed by the appear
ance Of a chalicl surnounted by a host in
red. The marks nave been examined by the
parish priest Rev. Father OTara and by DR..
Madden Of Kiltimagh, who vouch for Their be-
ing there, but decline to express any opinion as
tors examination the stigmata bled freely. The
nuns r - stouty that the child had no op-
portunity of inficting the injuries, if injuries
they be, herself and I understand arrange
ments being made for a thorough investiga-
ton of the mystery by a committee Of &C.
cesiastcs and medical men.
Another illustrating in another way the
credulity which still is to be found in some
parts of Ireland has just come to light by the
prosecution at Granard Of an Australian who
had been travelling the country extracting
money-not teeth-from country people who
are afflicted with toothache. Thomas Herman
said that the man told him he could cure him
by extracting the nerves of his teeth and that
when he consented to undergo the treatment
the man took an instrument like a long
needle, picked ct his teeth awhile and then
laid what looked like little white caterpillar
on his sleeve, saying this was the nerve and
that he would never suffer from toothacne
again
OF course, he did suffer. and when he went to
a medical man for relief and told his story ne
learned how he had been swindled

were assigned to the Virginius to look after II
while the towing process was on.
The life on board the Virginius is one that
it IS impossible to describe. The Spaniards
had left her in such a filthy state that living
on board was utoerable even after cleasing
processes had been tried. After few days on
board that ship the men looked as though
they had been through a siege Of sickness.
Finally when off the Virginia capes the Nir-
giuius gave every evidence of being in sink

officers and men on board escaped to the Os-
sipee being obliged to leave their belongings

other, declined to mako good to the devoted
sailors the property which they had lost

that he would have continued in the active

It may do no harm here to recall the story
Of the heroism of Lieut.. James E. Bell of the
United States army, who died because OF his
devotion to duty died at a time when no bull
lets were flying, but when an even deadller
foe Of necessity must be met. This story has
been published many times, but it has its ever
lasting lesson.
Fort jefferson, on the Tortugas in August
of the year 1878 was garrisoned by Battery NJ,
First United States artillery. Outside of the
surgeons there was only officer Lieuten.
ant Bell, at the post Capt L. L. Langdon had
been granted a leave Of absence to go north
to the bedside Of his dying father. On August
IS yellow fever appeared at the post. Within
two days four of the garrison had died Upon
the first announcement of the appearance Of
the scour&e Lieutenant Bell sent all the women
and children and some of the married men to
an island three miles away. Within day or
two he sent to the same place nearly all the
well men Of the garrison retaining only
enough to nurse the sick There could have
been no criticism of Bells course had he gone
with the garrison, leaving the sick to the care
of the surgeons and the nurses. He stayed and
devoted himself to the sick in the hospital, as
sisted by the men who had volunteered. The

R Christ In
Office of King
By Rev. Robert McHuxh Norris
/ Pastor Of First Presbyterian Church
II Evanston, Ill

The risen Savior executes three Of
fees. He is our prophet revealing to
US by his word and spirit the will Of
God for our salvation. He IS our
priest, offering up of himself sacrt-
fee to satisfy divine justice and
reconcile us to Cod and in making
continual intercession for US. He Is
our king. In his kingly office he sub
dues us TO himself; he rules and de-
tends US; he Restraints and conquers
all his and our enemies.
That we may search ourselves and
see first if we are citizens of his king
dom, and second, how loyal we are to
that kingdom, let us note what are the
conditions Of citizenship. We shall
find these conditions by references
which originate in tho king as he
stands in his relation to US, and in this
manner be able to show what is our
religion toward him.
The first phrase which we are
taught as setting forth the manner
of Christs execution Of the office Of
kingship toward us is that he subdues
US to himself We talk much Of Christ
subduing the world We pray, some
times half-heartedly and sometimes
with great meaning, that his kingdom
may come, that his Will may be done

heat was fearful. There was
not a pound Of ice on the
island and many of the deaths
that followed one after anoth-
er were due to the lack Of this
necessity. There were 20
cases of the fever and for days
and nights continuously the
devoted lieutenant command
er, the surgeons and the
nurses knew no rest. With
their own hands they dug the
graves for the dead and with
their own lips repeated over
them the burial service.
Captain LangdOn in the far
north heard of the yellow fe-
yer at Fort jefferson. He in
stantly reliuQuished his leave
of absence and FASTENED to
return to his station. Some
months before the outbreak Of
the fever Lieutenant Bell had
put in an application to be de-
tailed as instructor of military
science at the University of
Vermont. The application had
been granted, and Captain
Langdon, hurrying southwark
to join his command, carried
in his pocket the order reliev-
ing Lieutenant Bell from duty
at Fort jefferson and detailing
him for work in Vermont.
Langdon reached his post
