Al though the American representatives won a majority of tbo contests, their distance runners were outclassed by ltev. Mr. Workman, who carried tho colors of Cambridge. Ho easily cap tured tho one-half mile and the two mllo events, and In the formor, It Is bclloved, he could have broken tho world's record had ho been pushed rd. 'lev. Mr. Workman Is a typical En- hllsU athletic Christian. That n full- hlcdgod rector of a large parish should Irross tho Atlantic to compete In ath letic games may seem a llttlo strange ? Americana, who are accustomed to lergy who give up strenuous athletic port when they enter tho theological cmlnarlos. In England, however, tho thletlc rector la In great demand with omo parishes, and there was no sur- rlse when the young Cambridge run- lier was sent to a parish In South- limpton. This uthlctlc clergyman Is thoroughly English, both In appear ance and manner of speech. He la of l.iedlum height and slender build, but Ills faco and carriage tell of tho great Indurnnco necessary to championship llstance running. There Is plenty of tcalthy color In his smooth-shaven hecks. On his visit here he has worn 11. e usual black clerical garb of tho .ngllsh rector, except when In run- )K clothes, and tho colors of bis unl- arslty. Itov.

Yliat Ainlileultjr Coot u I.wjrer. good story Illustrates tho danger lies in ambiguously worded tclo- ih dispatches. Tho wife of a Now ' city lawyer of largo means and inato knowledgo of tho value of dollar had gone to an auction sale ices, of which she Is Inordinately , and had seen some pieces which her fancy, Tho price was $2,000, she hesitated to make the pur- to without asking her husband m Ar. she, should do so. She did and to" this reply: "No prlro too ." Madamo promptly bought tho i, nnd so struck was sho by tho roslty, not to say gallantry, of her and that she added to her store Si hundred dollars' worth beside1;.

WHY THEY TALKED HOPEFULLY While from the First the L'hanrrs Vc All Ai:!nl the Trrslileiit. Only ono error, according to the Philadelphia Medical Journal, can fair ly bo charged against the surgeons nnd physicians who cared for Presldonl ' McKlnloy, and that en or Is simply e.ie of prognosis tut, though they mu-' doubtedly made prophecies which wera contradicted by the termination of thq tuo, the Journal both assorts and strongly argues that this. If an errot i nt all, wm Infinitely preferable to nu error In tbo other direction, and Is, ln deed, to bo commouded as well as Jus tilled, since its effect was to ndd ap preciably to tho patient's cbnncos ol rccovety. "Wo tuko It ns n well-cs-tabllBhcd fact In practice," explains the Journal, "that a hopeful prognosis la better than despair In any case and under any circumstances whatever. There Is a real and genuine nsset to bo derived from hope, and the Individual who comes In for tho biggest slinro ol this asset Is the patient. Tbo tristful or lugubrious doctor who cannot sec soino silver lining to the cloud In an essentially doubtful case should retire. Ho Is not In the psychological mood to avail himself of all hU opportunities." It seems to us that theso opinions nro sound and reasonable, and they lend a sort of credulity to a curious theory which nt least u few people have had In mind ever since the president died. Tho theory Is, In effect, that the doctors, though thoroughly realizing the high probability of death from the very beginning, deliberately put their own reputations for knowledge nnd foresight m peril, and assumed and ex pressed a confidence which they did not feel In order to gain for their pa tient such advantage as might come to him from the conlldenco nnd hope not only of tho few friends who were ad mitted to his room, but of everybody In the city, In the country, and In the civilized world. The force of psychical Inlluenccs Is recognized nowadays by others than those who degrade them Into foul superstitions for tho sake ol robbing tho Ignorant and the weak minded, and, fanciful as tho theory la, It explains the otherwise Inexplicable and changes what seemed a gross mis take luto self-sacrifice of the noblest sort. CAUSE OF LEFT-HANDEDNESS. An Anatomlra! Kiplnnatlon for Tim, tjunllty In the V.jf. It Is a well-known fact tho strongci activity of tbo nerves of tho right hall of the body (for not only the hand Is concerned) must be ascribed to a pre pondcranco of the left side of tin brain, whose finer development, espo dally as the scat of tho center ol speech. Is a matter of common knowl edge In a paper by Dr. Luddeckeni In tho Algemelnes Journal der Uhr macherkunst valuable Information re garding the two hemispheres of the brain is furnished. A sketch touch Ing on the history of evolution leadt from the original symmetry of tlu organism to a subsequent symmetrical arrangement of tho heart and the large blood vessels, from which It follow quite naturally that tho two halves ol the head are not placed on an equal footing as regards the distribution ol tho blood, and consequently of the blood pressure; and that, on the con trary, there must be, under normal conditions, a strong pressure on the arteries of tho left sldo of tho head. This theory Is borno out by well known experience of anatomists and pathologists says the lxindon Express, and a scries of Interesting observa tions. Of especial Interest Is tho ef fect of the higher blood pressure upon tho left eyo. Dr. Luddeckens found In tho latter, as compared with the right one, In a surprisingly lnrgo number ol cases, a narrow pupil In consequence of a moro filled-up condition of the vessels of the Iris nnd upon closer ex amination a shorter construction ol the eyeball. This furnishes reason foi tho fact that In n large number ol persons the left eyo Is tho better ono Thus tho finer development of tho left half of the brain Is explained verj simply by tho fact that It Is better sup plied with blood, and tho question why It Is the sent of tho center of speech and why most people are rlght-hnnded Is solved In the most natural manner Train lie f.uxe for Afrlra. Cecil Rhodes Is determined that travolors upon his Cnpe to Cairo rail way shall not have any causa to com plain of lack of comfort while en route There has Just been shipped to South Afrlcn a train do luxe which, so far at comfort and convenience are con cerned, cannot bo excelled by any rail way either In England or America. The train comprises a dining saloon, three ordinary carriages convertible at night Into sleepers, one carriage containing smoking-room, library, cardroom, buf fet and observation platform at the rear, and a combined postal and lug gage wagon. Each coach measures 50 feet in length, und, being suspended on bogle wheels, tho maximum of comfort and smoothness In running Is attained with an absence of vibration. Ixmdon Daily Mall.

Titnrni.r.s or nmr iiai.i, i'mi-iiu:, In tho development of umpires an essential thing, piobnbly tho essential thing, is prnctlco nt umpiring, writes Phil Allen In tho Chicago Hecord-Hor-aldo. There Is nothing like tho su premo confidence a man hns when a dispute conies up on a point which ho has decided ten times before. Coaches and players and captains mny be very much perturbed and bo can stnnd the while on the field enjoying tho pleas ure of knowing ho Is right without oven a rcfcrcnco to his rulo book. Every umpire Is compelled to make compromises In his Interpretations of tho rules not, mind you, to please both Miles, but in order to keep tho g.imo going ns a spectacle. There nro many unintentional violations of the ml' s on tho pait of eager players. My own Idea Is that unintentional vlolntlons Fhould not bo penalized except In cases where thoy count in tho progress of tho ball. I think It Is only common tenso to enforce the rules nccording to their spirit, rather thnn by their exact letter. By tho latter method nn umpire could penalize any team on almost every play.

With Jeff lit and well It looks ns though Gus Ruhlin lias a tremendous Job on his hands In his prospective battle for the heavyweight title. Jim Jeffries Is certnlnly n won derful fighter. Ho Is the giant of the prize ring, and is built In proportion to his size. His massive frame looks strong enough to withstand any kind of punishment and his two good hands and nrms have strength nnd force enough to knock down anything In human form. If Gus Ruhlin Is the greatly Improved man they say ho Is, and Jeff the same Jeffries of old, tho coming battle at San Francisco should prove to be the fiercest In tho history of the prize, ring. Ruhlin will light hard from tho word go. It will bo Jeff's place to go out and set the paco and Ruhlin may be able to make a strong defenso, but nfter there nre a few mix-ups tho real work will begin, and from that on it will be the fight of tho century. kmcimo rooT iiai.i. ri.Arr.it. The only Eskimo football player In existence Is Nlklfer Shouchuk, who Is a candidate for a position on tho Car lisle Indian eleven. Mr. Shouchuk was brought from his home In far-off Alas ka last July. He 1b regarded as a foot ball player of approved pattern at Car lisle. In the first gamo ho ever saw on the gridiron he donned his foot-ball togs and charged through the opposing line with nil the charming abandon ment and confidence of a Rocky Moun tain sheep, Nlklfer is the first Eskimo to attend school In tho United States so far ns Is known. He Is 10 years old and has all the pristine powerfulncss that Is born of tho wilderness In which he first saw daylight, and the last two years, which have been spent by him as assistant steward on one of Kio coaBt steamers, have added some of the graces of civilization to his birthright. He hns the Ideal build of a football player, weighs 170 pounds, Is 5 feet 7 Inches tnll and very strong besides. Those who have Been him admit that Nlklfer will never take a prize In a beauty show. But this doesn't Inter fere with his football abilities In tho least. His countenance. Is peculiarly well adapted to the harsh exigencies of the gory gridiron. He Is not nfrald of having his good looks Injured. Ho has led rather n strenuous life. His parents died when the boy was ery young and NIKIFER SHOUCHUK. left htm to shift for himself. This was In the eastern part of the Alaskan mainland, where his brother and slater yet remain. When tho boy was seven years of ago he was placed In a Roman Hathollc mission. Nlklfer'a life en the iomA steamer was ended this summer when Rev. Mr. Burnett, a Baptist ml? Monnry, took him from Krullak Island to Carlisle School.

Terry's manager, says that If the "Kid" proves he Is capable of handling the gloves againBt somo good man h will give him a chanco against tho Brooklyn wonder. Negotiations have therefore been opened by Lavlgno's manager, Billy Roche, for a match with Jack Roberts of England. Should the former light weight champion make a good showing against RobertB, ho will ho In lino for a battle with tho thunderbolt from "over the bridge." TUIIK NOTKS. Frank Jones' great pucer, Little Boy, broke his own world's record of 2:03 to wagon, Saturday, when ho went tho mllo In tho remarkably fast time or 2:02. Boralma Is apparently an overrated animal.

The chest nut has had the best of training nnd oversight In the stables of tho Boston millionaire, but all his public appear ances have been disappointing.

All his friends told him that this was Incurablo and that he would never get better. To say that he was alarmed la to put It very mildly.
