kind you -tpuldn't have to go to work

to understand why raii sneer at these at

have sunk thousands in. gpld mines an.d

have the nerve to make fun of looking for
'gold at the bottom at the sea.
On fine days like this there Is only one

(Captain Tenn Track Team.)
Penn'a, chances for the on'e-mlla relay
championship took a big jump when
we won the sprint medley yesterday after
noon. It showed us the real Bluff In the
men on the team, and I am fully, con
vinced now that we can meet any of the
teams entered and win. Our team will,
however, be handicapped somewhat be
cause of three qf, the men having run yes
terday, but rthtnk the, course of (raining
they have been-, through this year will
allow them to stand up under the strain
of two races.
Dorsey did not run yesterday and will
be fresh today. We kept him out on ac
count of- hja dtstressed condition .after
finliliing. (he trial race last Friday when
he made the team, .This will give us a
'resh man on the team and will help a
great deal.,
I am a little worried over Tommy Len
non. Lennon was very sick on Thurs
day night and we were anxious about
him yesterday, and only entered him to
see whether it had affected his running in
any way. ' It -did Blow him up a bit, and
after the race he complained of a sore
leg, so now we are undecided about what
should be .done with, him today. There.
Is one consolation In the fact that Scud
der, who ran the quarter yesterday,
proved much faster than he has ever dope
before, and should Lennon'a leg bother
him today we will change these men.
Harvard did not run their men yester
day, so they t will have a .fresh team
against us. Princeton and Chicago, did,
however, so wo. are on an even basi? with
them.
Diamond, the colored Chicago runner,
ran-rt great quarter.' Several of the
timers caught him. In 48 4-5 seconds, and I
am fully convinced that he run thU fast.
If not faster. Diamond Is. the Western
quarter-nine cnampion, ana we. Chlcagq
people think he la one Of the few who- is
capable of breaking the quarter-mile rec
ord of 47 4-5 seconds, held by Maxy ten?.
T,ONDOX, Aprjl 2D.
llore than 500 persons have been killed
nnd wounded In the Irish revolution, ac
cording to an otUclal,cstImate.
There has been fighting in at least seven
Irlnh countjes In the southeastern and
wcistorn parts of tho island.
Five hundred prisoners have been cap
tured by the British forces. Including some
women.
There was an abortive uprising In the
city of Cork, In which at least two persons
were killed.
Part of the city of Dublin, has been
destroyed by lire, and a big section has
been looted.
From 10,000 to 15,000,'Slnn Felners and
their sympathizers took part In the Irish
revolt. x
The military forces under General Sir
John Maxwell are gradually restoring or-1
der, and In Dublin, the seat of the rebel
lion, the fighting lias been reduced to
sniping,
The foregoing were the outstanding
features ot the situation In Ireland today.
An'ofllciat announcement. isJued at mid
night by Field Marshal Viscount French,
commander of the homo forces, put a much
more optimistic complexion on' conditions
In Ireland than existed during tne previ
ous IS hours.
Field Marshal French states that mili
tary operations are proceeding satisfac
torily, but the report Indicates that tha
general postofllce butldfng' in the -Irish
capita Is still in the hands of the rebels,
being used as their base of operations.

southern, western and northern parts of
Dublin Is being drawn closer and closer

Governor Brumbaugh today abandoned
most of the campaign that had" been
planned for him, following th itttuck made
upon his candidacy by Senator Penrose
in a statoment made public from Pitts
burgh. The Governor has given up his tour
of Blair County, which was to have
started this morning, nnd will visit the
county only to speak nt a mass-meeting
to be held at Altoona tonight ' The Itin
erary that Attorney General Francis
Shunk Brown prepared for him nnd thnt
was to have kept the Governor busy until
the day of the election,, May 16k haa been
cut down by the Governor until It in
cludes only one meeting after 'the one to
be held tonight. Preparations have been
made for a meeting In Heading on
Wednesday, May 10.
Senator Penrose, In his statement,
charged that the Brumbaugh candidacy
'is not in good faith. He predicted the
overwhelming defeat of Governor Brum
baugh, not only as a presidential candi
date, but also for delegste-at-large to the
Republican National Convention.
Senator Penrose said; "Brumbaugh
Is not In good faith a candidate for the
presidency. His candidacy, .discredited at
the outset, we did not dignify by vpposlng.
I was asked to run. but I could not do so
unless seriously I was a candidate. The
party leaders know Brumbaugh Is not a
candidate; the Republican rank and file
know It, and even this early In the cam
paign such information as I hayo bcin
.able to gather from over the State shows
conclusively that the preferential vote for
Brumbaugh will bo so light as to be prac
tically negligible and, besides that, he
gate-at-Iarge."
Senator Penrose paid his respects to tha
aovernor, came out unqualifiedly for Har
mon U. Kephart, of Fayette, for State
Treasurer; Senator Charles A. Snyder,- of
Schuylkill, for Auditor General , Joseph F,
