A MARAuHON RUNNER DIES AFTER RACE
Lazar, Who Represented Portugal in Great Olympic Contest, Was Not Well Trained for Race. ' BULLETIN. ' STOCKHOLM July 15. The Olympic games cameto a close this afternoon with glory for the Americans. The feature of the, afternoon was the winning of the Decathlon, by James Thorp, an Americans Indian. The final standing for the conttesting teams bas!ed on points for all events follows: j"United States, 128; Sweden, 95; Great (Britain, 63; Germany, 35; Finland, 31; France, 23; South Africa, 13; Denmark, 13; Italy. 13 ; Canada, 11; Norway, 10; Australia, 10; Hungary, 8; Belgium, 7; Greece, 4;jAustria, 4; Russia, 3; and Holland 2.

The Portuguese entry in yesterday's Marathon, Lazar, died today as a result of the long exertion in the race. Lazar did not finish on account of heart trouble. Physicians declare he Jiad not properly trained for the event. GREAT MARATHON RACE. ; STOCKHOLM, July 15 With the championship in the Olympian trackv 1 American athletes set out' today to add ifurther points to their already large score. This was the tenth and concluding day for track and field contests In Ithe International games, although equestrian and aquatic, sports will be continued through the balance of the week. At the beginning of today's contests the United States' total points for track and field sports was more thana those of all the other nations combined. The joy of the United States athletes was tempered somewhat by; losing the classic marathon to Southl Africa yesterday, although the Yan.lisea had thn aa Haf nrtinn nf 1i a vineOne of their runners come in third. The weather man who has been so friendly toward the international athletes during the past week continued today to show the world's masters of brawn that he was with them. Atmospheric conditions were excellent for the last big day's program. The stadium was again filled and the spectators showed that their enthusiasm had not abated. One of the most interesting among the athletes today was Gaston Streblno, the young South Paterson, N. J. runner, who landed third place in th Marathon after a galling run. Strebino ran the 24 miles 1722 yards in il hours, 39 minutes, 42 2-5 seconds, which was 16 minutes better than the time made by Johnny Hayes in London in 1908, although it did not break the world's record, which was 2:37:42 set by S. Jacobson in Sweden last July. Takes Honors Lightly. Like the other American heroes, Strebino bore his honors lightly. "Of course I'm sorry I didn't get in first, but I have the satisfaction of doing the best I could under the circumstances," said Strebino. "From the 13th mile to the end I left blood behind for my running shoes were too light for the rocky course and were soon worn out. About half of the distance I ran ,virtually in my bare feet. I'm not making any complaint, because I had the same chance at the other fellows. My hat is off to McArthur, the South African runner. He surely ran a beautiful race. But credit also goes to Gilshaw, the other South African who breezed in second ahead of me. Gilehaw is some runner himself and he kept crowding all the time on McArthus, forcing a swift pace. I think Mo 'Arthur's record of 2 hours. 36 minutes will stand for a long time. Gilshaw was mighty close to the world's record, fir his time was 2 hours, 37 minutes and 52 seconds. I hve received a lot of cabled congratulations from home and I certainly appreciate the attention shown me." Gilshaw, the marathon runner, was the butt of many a good natured joke today. After the finish of the long contest Gilshaw told the correspondent that he could have won if McArthur had waited for him to get a drink two miles from the finish. Gilshaw was apparently in earnest about it, too. Wnen McArthur was asked about It, the lanky South African policeman only grinned. Sun and Fire Symbols. There are to be found occasionally tipon the walls of old brick houses, at about the line of division between the first and second stories, flat pieces of iron five or six inches" in length and shaped somewhat like the letter "S.The use of these articles was clearly brought from England, where it is still continued, and there are a curious ori gin and meaning attached to them.

LBATTING OF BETTS
WINS m SUNDAY Big Pitcher with His Curves and Stick Work Downs the All Kentuckians. BY JACK THOMAS. Quite a large crowd of fans braved the hot weather yesterday and witnessed a well played game at Athletic park between Richmond and the All Kentuckians, the home boys winning by the score of 4 to 2. The heroes of the afternoon were Pitcher Betts of the locals, and some six or seven hundred strong lunged bugs who delied Old Sol by sitting in the bleach ers. Betts was there with the punch as usual and put the game into the Richmond collection in the eighth inning with a clean single, counting one run. He then scored the fourth and final. Betts also contributed two other timely swats and pitched a steady, effec tive game after the first inning, when the Kentuckians got their only runs. Betts was given excellent support but the fielding of the visitors was a bit ragged. Boll went back of the bat for Richmond yesterday and celebrated his return with three lively swipes.

Daniel Webster used to tell a story about an old woman who was very ill and went into a trance. They all thought she was dead, and when she opened her eyes her husband said in a surprised tone. "Why, Mandy, we thought ye wuz dead." The poor old woman looked at her husband a mo ment, and then she burst into tears. "And ye never bawled a bit," she sobbed. "Ye thought I wuz dead, and yer eyes wuz dry. Couldn't ye have bawled a little bit. Jabez?" The old man was deeply moved, and he did actually bawl then. But bis wife said sadly: "It's too late now. Dry yer eyes. If I'd really been dead and ye'd bawled 'twould have done me some good. But it's too late now." Insulting. "Could you sing a ragtime song?" asked Mr. Lobrow. "Why. sir," spluttered the musician who takes himself seriously, "c-c-con-found your b-b-bone headed impudence!" "That's a good start," was the complacent rejoinder. "You. have a fine idea of the words. Now see if you can put a melody to them." Washington Star. 0 NUSBAUM'S JULY CLEARANCE SALE Begins on Wednesday Morning.

A BABEL OF TONGUES.
Half a Hundred Language, Perhaps, In the Philippines, The -natives of the Philippines are known to have at least twenty-five languages, and some students of the ethnology of the Islands have expressed the belief that they have more than double that number of distinct tongue For purposes of study they are gener ally put in two groups: First. The languages of the Negritos, supposedly descendants of the aboriginal population of the islands, who are distributed In scattered tribes In the interior of the larger islands. Second. The languages of the various Malay tribes which make up the bulk of the population Christian. Mohammedan and pagan. It cannot be said that the Philippine languages possess any. very considerable literary value. The old native manuscripts inscribed on leaves or strips of cane have practically all been lost. American students of the islands have found the scanty native literature in religious writings. Indifferent poetry and primitive newspapers. The natives themselves are profoundly ignorant for the most part as to their own literatureNew York Times. A Good Word For Caviar. Caviar receives a clean bill in the London Lancet, despite the fact that It is regarded by many medical men as "oily, indigestible and unwholesome." Numerous analyses have been made of this sturgeon roe delicacy, which, according to the writer, when averaged, appears to be as follows: Water. 00.92 per cent; protein. 27.92 per nt; fat. 13.59 per cent, and mineral salts. 7.57 per cent. It differs sharply from the flesh of fish by containing a much larger quantity of fat. Moreover, this fat contains the peculiar ol,y phosphorus compound knowp. as lecithin, which is a stimulant to metabolism, affecting favorably the processes of nutrition. Caviar Is. In fact, highly nutritive, and its digestibility has been determined, the time taken for Its absorption being relatively short. If there is anything to be said unfavorably of caviar It is that iU constituent err slightly on the side of richness.
