DIDN'T HURT men.
They Stood in Cold Rain at Maine
Burial.

Washington, April 25.-Of more
than two thousand sailors and soldiers
who marched and stood in a cold rain
during the Maine memorial exercises,
not one was made seriously ill by the
exposure, and only two were placed
on the sick list. In reporting this to
the secretary of the navy, Rear Adj
miral F'iske, who was grand marshal
of parade, said:
1.-THE results are so remarkable that
1 deem them worthy of serious con-
sideration by both the war depart
ment and navy department.
He added that, as fair weather had
been predicted, he ordered the men
out without overcoats.

into touch with land through other
steamers relaying her messages.

the crew was not able to row. The
witness denied this.

There were eight men to boat.
Where were these men when the emer-

You must remember. sir, we were in
the harbor and We had the pick of the
men. At the time of the collision the
men were down with the 'bosun to clear
away the gangway doors to make way
for the loading"
Did that take skilled men? Any one
could have done that and yet skilled
men were sent below when they were
needed for the loading and lowering
the boats. Is that the impression you
want to leave with this committee?"
The witness protested against that

IN the sense OF stopping work occurs
in the London Chronicle for Septem

cumberland coal fields, and the Golfers
are stated to have Struck OUT for a

Early Autograph Hunters.


A certain Atossa in early Roman days
seems to have been the mother OF au-
tograph collectors. Cicero had a col
lection, which must have been a dne
one, for he speaks OF 1t with particular
pride. The fever. rel in those far
back days, was contagious. Pliny
speaks of Pompeius Secundus. at whose
house he had seen autographs of Cics-
70, Augustus, Vergil and the Graceful
and his own collection was valued at
$15, 600 Of our money. Then came the
thrush Of barbarians, and we do not
again meet with the collector until the
beginning Of the sixteenth century,
when he reappears in the person Of a
Bohemian squire. who kept a book to
record his exploits in the chase and
enriched it with the signatures Of his
great hunter friends.

One crew wore dark striped jerseys
and black hats, and the other APP
Scared In white shirts. wearing a pink
kecktie. The race was rowed in slow,
heavy boats, built with high sides, and
square oars propelled the crews along.
No enthusiastic crowds lined the
banks Of the river all along the course.
and no evening papers, giving the re-
suit Of the race, sold In hundreds OF
thousands all over the country when
the race was over. Yet this was the
beginning Of the most popular racing
event in the rowing world-the Oxford
and Cambridge boat race.
The boats used by the eights in those
days were clumsy and uncomfortable.
Sliding seats we're unknown, and the
craft were weighed down with heavy
metal keels. Outriggers-the extended
parts Of q boats gunwale, that give a
greater leverage-wero also unheard

PRANK Of A ~sAsEBGLL.
Funny stunt That once Won . Game
For the Washinatons.

For h Washinptone.
Following is an interesting story
told by Hugh s. Fullerton In the
American Magazine, in an article de-
scribing freak plays that have won
baseball games:
"Ou the old Washington grounds,
when Washington was In the National
league. the players left the field by
passing under the stands, and the en-
trance to the passage was closed by
a cellar door arrangement which
sloped down to the ground. The doors.
Of course. were kept closed during
games, but at the top, cut In the
planks Of the stand, was a small
square hole to permit the players to
reach through and unlatch the doors
when they desired to leave the field.
During one game l saw a bah.
which had been thrown wild to the
plate I'm an effort to cut on the tying
run, roll up the doors and disappear
through that hole. The batter circled
the bases and scored the winning run.
The Chicago club, under Arson, was
beaten and protested the game on the
ground that the opening existed in
violation Of the rules. In the investi-
cation Of the complaint al attempt
was made to force a ball through the
hole. and. although 1t was pounded
with a bat, the ball refused to pass
through the hole until the Y gave
way.
After that almost every team that
came on the grounds tried to put balls
through the hole and failed. How
that thrown ball managed to twist its
way through the aperture never has
been explained satisfactorily"
