Less Than a Length Apart. New London, Conn., June 27.iYale won the 'varsity race with Harvard this evening by less than a length in the last 100 yards of the four-mile stru' t was one of the most beau tiful fcsts between the crews of the two liiirsities ever seen on the river. From the sound of the referee's pis tol until the finish it was anybody race. Harvard got the best of the start and was slightly ahead in the first mile, then Yale pulled to the front. Harvard spurted and the boats were even. Then the Crimson shell was a bit ahead and at three-mile mark it seemed as if Harvard would be vic torious, but the awful pace was telling on the Cambridge boat. Yale came up alongside again and along the line be tween rows of yachts that flanked thi line it was absolutely an even thing. The shells entered the finishing mile with bcautii'ui water conditions be tween the Ion? lane of yachts, and it remained for this mile to afrord the most spectacular contest seen on the Thames for many a year. With guns booming and sirens shrieking the two boats swept down the line. Harvard was still ahead, but Yale was clinging to her close. It was not until the three and a half flags were 'within hailing distance that Chittenden, the Yaie eovswain, called on his men for a mighty effort. Up went the Yale stroke and up crept the Yale shell. Harvard tried to respond and her men answer, the call heroically, but the sons of Eli tore along in a style that was madden ing for Harvard's supporters. The three and a half mile point found Yale again in the lead. She was never head ed. Indeed with Harvard never letting down for an instant, Yale took on strength and the Yale men began to steal away by feet. It was nothing but Yale after this and became the gener ous proportions of a length. Then it was one length and open water ap peared for the first time. It was the old story of a Yale crew with skill and endurance to stay in the last stages of the long journey. Yale's victory was one of a scant two lengths. The time on account of the low stroke rowed, was slow. The official time was Yale, 23:37; Harvard, 23:45. The end found Goodell, the bow oar ir. "c IT?T",rr,-!'fl in. fl "fP.te of col lapse. It was necessary to lift him from his seat into the launch. In the YaU. shell Stroke Cameron, too, was in dis tress, but he was able to help himself to the Yale launch. The other oars men were strong and in good condi tion. The freshman race and the four-oar contest preceded the big contest of th day. In the freshman eights Yale took the lead at the start and was nev er headed. The time was: Yale, 10:27 4-5; Harvard, 10:48. Harvard won the four oars easily, crossing the line in 11:49 15, six lengths ahead of Yale. The time of Yale was 12:09 1-5. Country Homes Improving. North Carolina Baptist. One of the best signs in connection with the home life of our people is the improvement which is so marked in the sun oundinga and furnishings of the average home in the country . We have closely observed this tor the I past ten years and this improvement Is gratifying. Bare floors are giving ilace to carpets and matting; silent walls are being made to speak eternal messages from appropriate pictures, and pianos and organs are on every hand to cheer and gladden and enter tain. And whenever there is a gath ering of young people in the country home the sweet songs of Zion are sung with a beauty and richness that is won derful. There is very little of the light and frivolous in their music And from these homes are coming men and women who are leaders in our churches and Important factors in the social life of the country. This betterment of the homes bears better interest on the investment than stocks and bonds or cattle and lands. It makes home more attractive gives it stronger holding qualities and a place that the boy and girl are not anxious to leave. PRIZE CASES DECIDED. Boats and Cargoes Captured at Slanila are Prizes, but Prop erty Taken on Shore is Not. Washington, June 27. Justice Bradley, in the Equity Court today, decided the Manila and Santiago Bay prizes. Ihe decision is in favor, of the claimants as to vessels captured and as to property taken from vessels so captured and not destroyed; that property captured ashore is not sub ject to prize; vessels sunk and not claimed as prize and for which bounty was given is prize; that the cargoes or cargo boats and all floating derricks that were captured at Manila are not prize. The Santiago cases hinges on the Manila decision. According to coun sel the claimants, in the Manila case receive a total of $288,000, divided among about 2,0u0 people, and the claimants in the Santiago case will get in the neighborhood of $5t0,00U dis tributed among about 3,000 persons. These hgures, however, are not final. These amounts are in addition to the bounties already allowed by the Court of Claims. Admiral Dewey, his offi cers and men, are the claimants in the Manilla case, and Admiral Sampson, his officers, and men are the claimants in the Santiago case. The Leprosy Scare. There is no little alarm over the pres ence and increase of leprosy in the United States. Recently eight thousand letters of inquiry were sent out by the govern-, ment health authorities of Washington to local health officers, city and count ry physicians and heads of all the hos pitals in the country asking informa tion regarding toe existance of leprosy and the condition of its victims. Up to the first of last week two thousand re plies had been received. They disclose the presence of 275 lepers in the Unit ed States and it is believed that the total number in this country is- fully 1,000. Of the cases already reported to the authorities at Washington 76 are in Louis ana, 23 in Minn sota, 15 in North Dakota, 5 in Chicago, and 6 in New York. The Pacific coast, where there is probally more leprosy than in any oth er part of this country, has not been officially heard from. - Nearly all tne lepers in the United States who have been reported are for eigners. Those in Louisiana are Leprosy has increased in this coun try to an extent which, in the opinion of the medical officials at Washington makes it necessary for the federal au thorities to assume control of it as it has over other epidemics. As to the probabilities of the spread of this terri ble disease in the United States opinions differ widely, but all agree that every possible precaution against it should be taken. Our closer relations with Hawaii and the countries of the far east,where leprosy abounds, account for the large number of cases of leprosy in the United States, where it was until a recent date almost entirely unknown. Flesh a Natural Food. Everybody's Magazine. There is no doubt of the fact that an excessive use of alcohol acts on the system as a direct poison and pro duces most disastrous effects, an i to eat too much beef deranges digestion and t-f interferes with thought but further than this there seems to be no rounds ior specfciiiz ifion. I have oi ten iea?d it claimed that eating of flesh tends to turn man into a preda tory animal of a carnivorous cha.act er that is, to make a lion, a tige. or a hyena but it appears more reasona ble to suppose that the lion feeds on Ush, because it is his natural liodr rather than the eating of flesh made a lion out of him instead of a gazelle. I don't know how many billions of years you would have to feed a ga zelle on flesh before it would be turnr ed into a lion; nor could I calculate how many years you would ha re to feed a lion on cereals before you could turn hi m into a gazelle.
