Failure on the part of the University

Word comes from Seattle that - the
college rowing club prefers to stay at
home ana row ins university or v-'au-
fornla four there June 3.
As an -offset the Portland Rowing
club has decided, "to send - its senior
four against the junior four, giving the
latter a generous handicap. . There will
also be double "races, in ' which Art
Allen and Rex Conant will try to beat
Harley and Dent. Likewise there will
be plenty of keen competition In the
singles when Ed Goss will give Art
Allan, Fender and Quit son comfortable
handicaps and try' to beat them across
the finish line. , There will also be a
race between Iapstreak fours of the
Junior oarsmen.
Coach Murphy Is still too weak to be

be with them by Sunday next The meA

FAMOUS CAT IS
KILLED BY TRAIN
Death of Feline That Defended Mails
Caused by Train Crew That
Loved Her.
Ashevtlle, N. C. May 23. Emma has
gone to her last account, her passing one
of pathetic tragedy killed by, the
friends who loved her best and If
there be a niche above among; the home
ly saints and heroes whose deeds are
the unflinching devotion of every day,
her small lithe form must surely till it
No one knew her patronymic. Whence
she came or whither she was bound
none asked. . Her simple dignity for
bade all questioning. But when tine'
night her black shadow fell' softly
across the threshold of D. J. McClel
lan's store, where the residents of Era
ma township, an Ashevtlle suburb, col
lect their mall, and she emitted an in
terrogative "Miaou," McClellan accepted
her as a good 'luck omen, and she
straightway began her duties aa the
postrtffice cat.
She was christened Emma, for the
township, and took herself seriously
from the first. How seriously none
guessed till the night in 1901 when a
H. Alexander, the clerk, roused from
bed by a call at the door, was met by
two masked men with guns, who forced
him to open the safe. Alexander was
hardly more than a boy. As the safe
swung open ono robber laid his revolver
on top and stooped to examine ths In
terior, - -
All this time, slipping from' point' to
point, the cat had watched proceedings,
and at. this critical Instant seeming to
recognise the boy's peril sprang, upon
the highwayman, savagely clawing his
face The other turned . hts head In
alarm,' while Alexander, who - had pro
cured the gun shot Emma's antagonist
The other man rushed to the help of
his comrade and they made off. leaving
the youm? fellow for dead. They with
two accomplices were caught before
daylight, two of the marauders expiat
ing their offenses orr the gallows, while
the other two were Imprisoned for life.
And Emma? -Emma watched by the
bedside of the wounded Alexander, who
was nursed back to life br his pretty
fiance and married .to her. on which
was so nearly his deathbed. Alexander
was rewarded for his bravery by the
government, but his staunch . defender
knew no reward but, love, i -
Since then the black cat as the mother
of numerous progeny has nlsrhtly kept
vigil at MeClellan's. Last night while
crossing the tracks to her duty she was
run over and killed by a - train. When
the trainmen found the little maneled
body of their four-footed friend they
tenderly carried It to a place of safe-ty
and tndav Emma, was given an Impos
ing funeral. Many "attended to pay a
tribute to the satraclty and dauntless

Ppughkeepsie, N. T., May 23. It has
Just been learned - on the best of au
thority that Justice Morschauser has
been Unable up to tho present time to
find any law whereby ho can find that
Justice Dowllngs committal of Harry
K, Thaw is conatltutlonaL
. District Attorney. Mackin in fact has
been aiding the Justice In the search
for the law which will make It possible
to send Harry K. Thaw back to Mattea
wan. There is every reason to believe
tht thm court will find Thaw insane.
but will not be able to find a law-upon
wnicn to recommji mm ..' juanw
wan InntHtltion.
This brings about tha situation that
waa nrn.nn.i imteri last week. It makes
it imperative upon the court to commit
Thaw to some institute for the insane.
It also brings about a situation that it
is understood is causing no end of fear
In the Thaw family, nd which it Is
said accounts for the elder Mrs. Thaw
and ThaWs sister. Mrs.. Carnegie, spend
ing the afternoon with the prisoner.
It Is feared by the Thaw family that
if the Judge decides that Thaw is In
sane it will open the way to Evelyn,
his wife,, to make application to be ap
pointed administratrix of his person
and estate, in which Evelyn will gain
complete control of Thaw's money and
property. . i '
So far as can be learned the family
seems to be hemmed in on all sides by
apprehensions of a similar nature.
Should the court decide that Thaw is
sane and discharge him, the relatives
fear he will at "once go back to Evelyn
and Dan O'Reilly is said to be fearful
of any action that will release Thaw.
whii nona ran be found who will
openly yay that Thaw has ever uttered
a threat against u nuuri u.-ib .wwu u
th henf of authority that Thaw hates
his wife's attorney bitterly so much so
that even the members, of the Thaw
family are said to be a bit fearful
should Thaw after being: released ever
meet the lawyer. The decision In -the
case Is expected to be filed Monday
morning. -t . .

DOGS KISSED WOMAN;

Conflicting

Testimony Abont '
of ' Animals That.
Caused Suit,
West Chester, May 23. Believing
that children are of more Importance
than dogs," Mrs. Margaret Phillips,
mother of six, sued John W. Patton,
part proprietor of the ultra-fasblon-
able Devon Inn, for Injuries which she
said three of her offspring had received
from "nasty hounds" owned by tbe lat
ter. She did not win her case. The Jury
decided that Patton was-"not guilty."
But at the same time it placed tho
costs on the defendant. For that rea
son. Patton, through his attorney, has
asked the court for a hew trial.
The feature of unusual Interest which
came out in the case was the conflict
ing testimony In regard to the nature of
the dogs, miss Mary Simmons, sister-in-law
of the defendant, who is propri
etor of the Devon Inn, and "a very busy
woman, was quite positive that tho
dogs were too kind and gentle to Injure
any one.
Xt animals Xlss Her.
They were of such lovable disposition.
she said, that often she had permitted
them to "kiss her in the face." And shel
further said she thought so much of
them that she allowed them to "sleep
on ths best bed In her green room."
it is prooaoiy aue to this testimony.
it Is thought, that the jury gav Its
verdict of "not guilty." For Mrs. Phil
lips, witn tne courage or ner convic
tion In the value of children, produced
proof that her daughter. Margaret. 11
years old, had been bitten by one of the
dogs: that Frederick, 9 years, had been
knocked rrom nia Dicycie ana Diuen.
and .that Russell, ( years, had been so
badly "chewed up" that he could not
go to school for two months.
Kad ZTloe Clean Teeth.
The testimony of the defendant in the
case also seemed to be convincing to the
Jury. He told how he had taken Fred
erick into the barn and placed horse'
liniment on his wounds. It seemed to
be a matter of surprise to those In
court that Mrs. Phillips had brought
suit, for Patton testified that he had
told her at the time there was nothing
to fear.
"All his dogs had such clean teeth,"
he testified he had said to her.
To the visitors In the courtroom this
seemed to make Mrs. Phillips' attitude1
most remarkable. She should nave been
pleased to nave her cuimreu uiueo. tney
thought. :
The dogs with the manicured 'teeth
are four greynounas. it was auegea at
the trial that they rrequentiy -chased

Secretary Metcalf Comes to
Defense of. Men Wear
ing Our Uniform.
(Hearst News by Longest Leased Wire.)
Washington, May 23. Victor H. Met
calf, secretary of the navy, la Indig
nant over the exclusion of an enlisted
man from a Philadelphia cafe simply
because the man was wearing the uni
form of the navy. Hs has officially
requested Mayor Beyburn of Philadel
phia, in a letter made public today, to
cooperate in a movement to legally en
force respect to the uniform of the en
listed men of the army and navy under
all circumstances.
His request is based upon a report
from- V. B. Sturtevant, chief yeoman
United States navy, attached to the
United States Steamship Montgomery,
to the effect that he and his wife and
nephew were refused service in a cafe
on Market street, Philadelphia, solely,
as he was personally Informed, because
he (Sturtevant) was In uniform and "it
was the rule of the cafe not to serve
anyone in uniform."
in this letter to Mayor Reyburn the
secretary of the navy said that the
complaint in this case had been veri
fied by official Investigation. Said Sec
retary Metcalf:
'The department has long been en
deavoring to secure proper' respect for
the uniform of the enlisted men of the
navy and notes with profound regret
that occurrences of the nature referred
to herein continue to occur. - Sentiment
throughout the country seems to be
turning favorably toward the enlisted
men of both the army and the navy
and In many places special effort Is
being made In public places to show
that the men In uniforms are especially
welcome.
"The character of the enlisted men
and their moral tone la higher today
than ever before, and any discrimina
tion shown by managers of restaur
ants, theatres, etc., against them solely
for the reason that tbey are In uni
form should be severely discounte
nanced. If there Is now no municipal
law covering the point In question, I
would most respectfully represent the
desirability of steps tending to such
result.
"The enlisted men of the army and
navy are servants of the nation, wear
the uniform prescribed for such service
and it would seem that It would be the
duty of the public officers In civil life
to see that (he uniform when worn be
esteemed as a badge of honor. Instead
of a bar to associations wearing civil
ian clothes."
DOLL 2,000 TEARS OLD
EXHIBITED IN LONDON
Was Plaything of Some Egyptian
Child Centuries Beford the
Christian Era,
London, May 23. A wonderful exhibi
tion of toys of all nations and of all
ages will be opened at the London Day
Training college today by Lady Mar
garet Campbell.
It was the happy Idea of Dr. Slaugh
ter, of the Sociological society to bring
together this classified collection of
toys and games.
Its chief object Is to rive parents
some idea of the invaluable means of
training which is offered in the use of
suitable toys.
Not only ancient and modern toys and
games are to be seen In the hall, but
a aeries of pastimes suitable for chil
dren and youths and girls.
Tbe oldest and most Interesting doll
in the collection Is 2,000 years old, and
once upon a time delighted an Egyptian
child.
"Knuckle-bones," the playthings of
savacre races, are a feature of the col
lection lent by Edward Lovett, of Croy
don, who has also sent curious dolls of
all nations. This Is only a part of his
Folk museum collection.
There are dolls and toys from Lap
land, Japan, the South Sea Islands,
Holland. Spain. France. Germany. Rus
sia. Africa, India and North America
The most disreputable doll Is an early
Victorian one, which has been treas
ured by three generations. The face
has disappeared under the influence of
caresses. There Is a Welsh doll 100
years old, and some particularly fierce
looking dolls, with saw-like backbones,
from Rhodesia
Toys made by the children of the
poor and the children of the rich are
shown side by side. One little girl has
contrived to make a very presentable
doll out of an egg and a paper bag,
while a small boy . has contributed a
realistic looking rooster fashioned out
of a few corka and a feather or two.
Many toys have been made fry the
members of the Children's Happy Even
ings association, and the little cripples
of the Guild of Brave Poor Things have
turned out some very clever toys.
Among tne Kussian toys is a minute
model of a monastic tower, and there Is
a curious toy, representing the "Little
Father." filled with smaller and small
er "fathera" The issximo toys consist
of boats and cradles made of skin.
The Japanese dolls and games are
works of art, and two footballs used
bv the nobles of the mikado's court
200 years ago are shown by Mr. Crewd
son. BOOSTER NUMBER
