Harvard Debater Roscoe Bruce To Lead Yale Match
Roscoe Conkling Bruce son of the late Senator Bruce of Louisiana will be the head Harvard debater in the debate with Yale next month. Real estate values in Galveston have fallen to about half prior to the storm. The Mississippi River may become a famous ship channel in the future, with steady improvement urged. Rev Daniel Hauer of Lebanon Pennsylvania is likely the oldest active clergyman at 95, preaching 75 years. As vice president, Roosevelt will occupy a rented Washington house, not an expensive residence due to modest means.

British Troops Temperate and Sailors’ Feats
A woman speaker from India at the Washington W C T U convention says one third of the British army are total abstainers and the Soudan army is composed of teetotalers. Captain Holmes, 76, arrived in San Francisco from New York after his eighty first voyage around Cape Horn, a record for individual trips since 1857. An army ration proposed by American officers uses one pound of raw lean beef and one pound of bread with salt and red pepper to sustain a soldier for 24 hours. Reverend Richard R Wrightman, pastor of Christ Presbyterian New York, resigns to preach without compensation, intending to support himself in business while continuing ministry.
