NOT A SPENDTHRIFT.
JJIIly Vernon Was n. Model Young .linn
Ncrcr Drank Liquor In His Life.
Vernon had been In the ring a long
time and was one of the kind to use
whatever he made In It to show that
he was a good fellow.-r-I'lttsburg News.
The above lends Newell, of the Syra
cuse Evening New, to add the follow
ing: Everyone who knew Hilly Vernon
know thut the Pittsburg News man
shot very wide of the mark when he
accused the HaYerstraw boxer of
spending his money freely In order to
make himself a "g.ood fellow." Hilly
Vernon never tasted liquor. He did not
know how to smoke a cigar or a cigar
ette and he would have fainted were h"
to chew the wood, Vernon once told
tlit writer that In all of his battls he
always used as a stimulant a concoc
tion of hhf own ma'.'e brandy or whis
ky he excluded frpm his corner, al
though imuor unod many llmea to use
It. Vernon was worth nbout $0,000. He
bought a Ifi-acrc farm nt Haverstraw
nnd followed the life of a farmer-boxer
for flfteT years.
It Is not generally known, but It Is
a fact," nevertheless, that Vernon was
not the name of the dead boxer. Ills
right name wns William H. Vollmer.
One of his brothers Is employed In the
business department of the New York
World. The dead man always took the
best of care of himself, and for that
reason was fit to box every two weeks.
Long training, however, flnnlly told on
him, nnd his, death was brought about
by over exertion, nnd not by any heart
blow. Hilly Veinon will be missed by
his friends.
COLLEGE GIRLS TO ROW.
SnRO College Students Have Em
ployed n Conch to Trniu The in.
Ithaca, N. Y., May 3. The young la
dies mending Sage College, Cornell
University, were last year anxious to
emulute their slaters at Welleslcy col
lege and tutu out a crew. For the pur
pose art organisation was formed called
the Sports nnd Pastime.5 association of
Sage college. '
A. basket ball club was formed nnd
th'en came the ngl'atlon for a crew. To
this plan there was considerable op
position and It wrts for the time drop
ped. The towing enthusiasts were not
to be curbed, however, for with the
ushering In of the pleasant weather a
handsome boat was launched belonging
to the association, having beu con
structed by an expert boat builder in
Ithaca during the winter. The boat
is of cedar and lias Mx stationary seats
arranged in line with room for a cox-f-'wuln's
feat.
The young ladles claim that It Is for
pleasure ami not for racing, but n good
many people look askance at the va
cant place for a coxswain's seat and
predict that before another year passes
there will be n boat race between
crews of Wellesley nnd Sage. The boat
now has a regular crow and dally
practice is taken on the Inlet under the
Instruction of F, D. Colson, the Cor
nell 'varsity coxswain.

Washington, D. C, May 3. For the
Information of lovers of the bike as
well us tho general public wlu Intenl

Americans arriving In France with a
cycle, not for bale, but with the view
of cycling throughout the country, are
required to deposit twenty-five cents
per iound (dend weight) as a duty on
their wheels. This deposit Is returned,
however, to the traveler after he leaves
French territory. When the deposit Is
made a lead seal is ntached to the
cycle, with tluj custom house mark
stamped on It. A tourist can leave the
country by any frontier and reclaim
the deposit. It Is not necessary to in
form the original customs bureau "of
the Intention of leaving the country.
All residents of France are required to
pay a tax of $2 each per year on their
wheels. In 1S90 the revenue from this
tax amounted to $250,000, which wns
expended In repairing tho public road
ways. Owing to tht activity of the Touring
Club do Trance, an organization of
whcplmen, certain rules have been en
acted which have removed many ob
noxious restrictions formerly Imposed
up-n cycling In France. For Instance,
one of the rules provides that drivers
of vehicles nnd men on hqrseback
must go to the right on approach of a
wheel so as to give the cyclist a
space of at least five feet in width.
Another provides that In crowded thor
oughfares the cyclist must dismount
nnd lead his wheel. All French rail

his deposit Is refunded.

In Denmark a duty of 10 per cent, ad
alorem is Imposed, which Is a guar
anty that the wheel Is not for gale.
This amount will be refunded only at
the custom house wheie entry was
made, unless a special permit Is obtain
ed, allowing the cyclist to leave via an
other custom house. Id Egypt a duty
of 8 per cent, ad valorem Is imposed.
Only 7 per cent, will be refunded. In
England no duty Is imposed upon tour
ists. In Greece, cyclists are required to
pay, first, a duty of 40 cents, and a
second duty of $2.
This latter, however, will be refund
ed, less $1 for expenses, and also a
small sum If the cyclist does not leave
the country by the same custom hous?.
In Italy a duty of $i,ll Is Imposed, as a
guaranty that the wheel is not for sale.
This amount will bo refunded when tho
tourist leaves the country. In Luxem
burg a duty of three cents per pound
is imposed. The tourist in the Nether
lands Is not required to make any de
posit. In Portugal n deposit of 10 per cent,
ad valorem Is required, tho same as
In Denmark, the only difference being

nnother frontier station without a per
mit, and his money will bo refunded.
In Roumanla- nnd Russia tho deposit
