New News Of Yesterday
Gov. Marcy as a Railroad
Advocate
BY Holland

while the State of New York has
furnished only two men who were
elected Presidents OF the United
States-althoug there we're two
other sons of New York who,
having been elected as Vice Presi-
dents, succeeded TO the Presidency
still the record which New York State
has made in the State Department at
Washington is unsurpassed by that
of any other State. This statement
was made to me by the late Charles
C. Clarke, who was at one time as
sistant treasurer of New York State
and was afterward associated for forty
years with the Vanderbilts in the ex-
ecutive management of the New York
Central system.
1T was my good fortune TO have
an acquaintance with Martin Van
Buren,. with William L. Marcy with
William H. Seward, with Hamilton
Fish and with William NJ. Evarts, all
of whom served as Secretary of State,
all sons of New York, and all of whom
performed brilliant service in that ca
pacity. While I was a personal
friend and warm admirer of William
II. Seward, nevertheless, l am in
clined to think that perhaps the ablest
Secretary Of State New York furnish
ed was William L. Marcy. l knew
Governor Marcy well. I used often
to see him in Albany and he paid oc-
casional visits to the State treasurer's
office when I was serving as assistant
treasurer. One Afternoon I had a
lvery pleasant conversation with him,
although II was after he had retired
from the State Department at Wash
/ ington, where he served for four
years as Secretary of State under
President Pierce.
MARCY told me that one Of the first
4 things which he advocated after the
Cabinet was organized was the send
ing Of a corps of engineers to explore
and then to survey a satisfactory
route for a railroad from the
/ Missouri river to the Pacific. He
| Furthermore told me that Daniel
! Webster, who was his predecessor as
/ Secretary of State when Millard Fill
more was President, had been very
anxious that the government should
i take steps to secure a survey for a
railroad through to the Pacific. Cali
fornia had just been admitted to the
Union as a State Il was known that
her deposits of gold were very great
and that mining on a large scale
would be carried on in the State.
Webster felt that the best means OF
securing good government and Of
maintaining the pacific Slope within
the Union would be secured by build
! ing a railroad. Marcy agreed thor
oughly with Webster in that view and
he found that President Pierce and
the cabinet were in accord with him
Therefore. the government organized
a corps Of army engineers and sent
these men out to explore and then
survey a route suitable for a rail-
road from the Missouri river to the
Pacific. These engineers did survey
a route which, believe, was substan-
TALLY the one adopted years afterward
when the Northern Pacific railroad
was built. / inferred from what Gov
Marcy said to me that he regarded
this act as one Of the most important
of all the acts identified with the al.
ministration of President Pierce"

Don't Use Soap
On Your Hair

When you wash your hair, don't use
soap. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. which is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
mulsifed cocoanut oil, for it is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats soaps or anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store. and few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
Of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy. wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust. dirt and
dandruf.

THE RHODORA:

The RtODORA'
On Being Asked. Whence Is the
Flower?
In May, when sea-winds pierced our
solitudes,
I found the fresh Rhodora in the
woods damp nook.
To please the desert and the sluggish
brook.
The purple petals, fallen in the pool,
Made the black water with their
beauty gay;
Here might the red-bird come his
his plumes to cool,
And court the flower that cheapens
his array.
Rhodoral if the sages ask thee why
This charm is wasted on the earth
and sky,
Tell them, dear. that if eyes were
made for seeing,
Then Beauty is its own excuse for
being;
Why thou vert there, o rival of the
rose!
! never thought TO ask, I never knew
But in my simple ignorance, suppose
The self-same Power that brought me
there brought you.

Passing of Quinby as Yale
Coach a Big Surprise

promise of a continuation of the Mid
debrook scheme of things, and there
was little surprise for those on the in
side when it was announced that Quin-
by probably would be allowed to go, as
his contract had expired.
What Quinby did for baseball at Yale
is not a difficult matter to determine.
He fell heir to a lot of first class ma
and moulded that material into ma
chine which made record for college
teams by winning seventeen straight
games in the course of the season. Al
,hough beaten by Harvard in the Yale
Harvard series, the Blue was without
doubt the best team of the year. In
1914 Quinby turned out team which,
although not as nearly perfect as its
immediate predecessor, was still far
above the average. The internal trou-
bles of the 1915 team have been hell
responsible for rhe showing of this
years nine, but had Quinby been al
lowed TO remain he had laid plans for
a team that probably would have had
little difficulty in winning the cham
pionship next year.
Quinby never played professional
ball after his graduation from Yale, al
though he played in the Amateur
League for many years and was coach
of the South Orange team in the league
which won four successive champion
ships.
Who will succeed Quinby at New
Haven has not been announced, but Ed
Walsh will have charge of the pitchers,
as he did when Billy Lush was coach.

BOY PLAYER IS
THE MARVEL OF
CHESS MASTERS
Rochester Lad Gives Good
Account of Himself in
State Tourney at Utica.

During the week mention was made
in the reports on the summer meeting
Of the New York State Chess Associa-
ton Of the Rochester high school boy,
Harold Jennings. 1t is really remark
able TO see the boy at work. Like a
player of many years standing, he will
sit at the board, never making his
moves in a hurry, but only after very
carefully studying the position before
him. He takes full advantage of the
time limit, and. while never in danger
of exceeding it anu thereby losing a
game, he scarcely ever has very much
time to spare.
What makes this case still more in
teresting is his modesty, and he never
forgets to treat his much older oppo-
nents-some of them old enough 10 be

spect The game over, he will sit quiet
ly at the table, play the game over
again in order TO see whether the score

ready to tackle his next adversary.
What the boy can do is best Illus
trated by the appended score of game
he played in the Class A tourney
against Mr.. Cheney, of Syracuse. The

BOYS NAY ROW
IN BIG REGATTA
National Association of Amateur
Oarsmen Plans to Add New
Race Next Year.

James Pilkington, president of the
National Association of Amateur Oars
men, will endeavor at the next con-
vention, to be held at Springfield,
Mass, next Friday and Saturday, to
have a new race added to the regatta
list, one for schoolboys, in the form OF
an intercity, high school, eight-oared
race.
Mr. Pilkington has discussed the
question for some months past with the
executive committees and delegates
throughout The country, and feels con-
iident that if this race is added it will
prove an interesting contest and will
greatly benefit the sport. Much inter-
est is manifested in many sections,
where the local regattas have encour-
aged schoolboy contests. The follow
ing cities are particularly active in the
encourage. lent of the boys: New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Springfield, Wor-
cester, Detroit. Duluth, Ithaca, New
Rochelle. Jersey City, Holyoke and
many others.
Such an intercity race would be
Loyalty supported by the cities repre-
scented by crews. Amateur clubs
throughout the states also would be
benefited il these races were held an
nually, for some OF these boys would
be likely TO join the clubs after leav-
Ing school. Also, many of them would
make good material for the college
crews.
There will be several important ar
rargements necessary to carry out this
project, but these will be easily accom-
plished when the proper time comes.
Influential men are ready 10 give val
liable trophies TO be competed for by
the high school boys.

first class results as the product OF

that Quinby was in nowise at fault for
the poor showing OF the team.

POMS BRING BIG PRICES
Cleo and Mighty Caesar of
Lakewood Kennels Sold.

At prices far exceeding all former rec
ords for American-bred Pomeranians,
two sales have just been made by Mrs.
Hartley Williamson, owner of the
farous Lakewood Pomeranians and the
first exhibitor 10 introduce the breed
in America. Through these sales the
we'll known winners Lakewood Cleo
and Lakewood Mighty Cesar, two of the
finest orange-shsded sables ever pro-
duced on either side of the Atlantic,
have found new owners.
Lakewood Cleo, which has won at the
largest shows this season, was pur-
chased by Mrs. c. A. F. Pfzenmayer,
of Hampstead, while Lakewood Cesar,
which caused such a sensation at the
White Plains, Greenwich and Mineola
shows, has gone into the possession of
prominent society leader. who will
keep him as a pet.
1t is rumored that Mrs. Williamson,
who has a special forte in raising or
ange sables, has an exceptionally good
puppy in reserve for the winter shows,
which weighs only eighteen ounces, is
the personification Of Pomeranian type
and the most richly colored orange ever
bred in this country.

Asset in War. Times

delphia marathon swim for women has
been definitely abandoned. 1t is un-
derstood that the long delay of the
Middle Atlantic authorities in acting
on the application for sanction was

countenance so long a race. Accord
ing to we'll informed watermen. the
Amateur Athletic Union is cOntemplat-
ing the adoption of a rule forbidding
competitive swimming tests Of several
hours.

preliminary qualifying round.
Seven days of golf follow. with the
final round on Saturday, September 4.
As the scene of this tournament will
be the Country Club of Detroit. this

take part. Walter j. Travis, the vet
eran, who has won the title on three
occasions, has declared his intention
not to compete, one of the reasons be-
ing that the long physical test would
be too much for him.
