WHAT YACHTING COSTS.
Fun to be Enjoyed Only by Those
With Very Large Bank Accounts.

From the New York Mail and Express.
''That nice little show on Decoration
Day." said yachtsman, "cost the yacht
owners Of this city not less than $4,000.
1t takes money, I tell you, to put yacht
in condition for such sail, even when
she is in commission and everything
seems to be ready. It was something
nice to see the sails of my sloop Tapping
in the wind as we rounded the South
west Spit. Well, every flap cost me about
fifty dollars, that's H." This gentleman,
who has, perhaps, built, bought and sail
ed more sloop and schooner yachts than
any other one man in America, was in ex-
cellent position to tell something about
the expenses Of yachting. He had been
opening his pockets very literally for
dozen years or so, paying sailors and
sailmakers, cooks, stewards, captains and
painters, and he seemed inclined to tell
his experience. He said that his first
yacht, {; soop, cost him $l5, 900. "When
she was all ready" he continued, "the
furniture in, the crew on board, and
the pantry, and wine-eelosets stocked-I
anchored her off on Tompkinsville and
take a sail. Before the mainsail was
hoisted for the first trip that sloop cost
me $l6,500. The seasons sport as /
thought it. then, or. work as I am
now inclined to think it was, stoo me
in $4,000 more, or SO close to $50, 900, all
told, it would make your head SWIM"
"What are some Of the expenses of
keeping up a good-sized YACHT" the re-
porter inquired. EXACTLY the same as
keeping up good-sized house." the
yachtsman replied. 'That is to say, just
what the owner will stand. If he has
100000 to spare and is easy in money
matters and fond Of company season Of
yachting will cost him 10000. If he is
close, does things on small scale and
has little company he may squeeze
though on So 900. You can get salinas
ter, like watch, for most any price. I
paid mine $500 a year and consider
him cheap. have had one steward for
four years at 500 a month for a season.
Champaign is pre-eminently the
yachtman's weakness, and champagne
costs moncy-good champagne. A man
can drink twice as much without feeling
any bad effects when he is on the salt
water as when he is ashore. Then be
sides these bills, you have your regular
salary list, payable monthly. This va
rics with the size and character of the
yacht: My list averages something over
$500 a month. Some are more and others
less

A Western Obituary.

From the Laramie Boomerang.
Night before last, without a word Of
warning, Calamity Pease, aged ID years,
passed into the realm of the beyond.
Calamity will be remembered by our
citizens as the almost constant compan-
ion of Judge Pease, the editor of our
evening contemporary. We noticed
yesterday that he did not call us a putrid
liar, as has been his wont, and we knew
found the following breif tribute to the
deceased:
"Mr: Pease's little dog, Calamity, died
last night, probably from old age, as it
was between Is and l4years old, and has
been in the family from the time of its
BIRTH"
While we bow to the inevitable de-
cree which has robbed us of Calamity,
we should remember that our loss is his
(or hers, as the case may be,) eternal
gain. Calamity is no more. He (or she,
as the case may be,) will not meet us on
the sidewalk, and let us fall over him
Cor her, as the case may be,) as was the
case heretofore. Judge Peasc is now
left with only one large dog and his fam
lily. The day may soon come when he
will have no one to love but his family.
The big dog who lies in front of the
Times door and eats the remains of dead
animals, and socially throws everybody
down who tries to get in the door, will
soon pass away, and the Judge will be
left with no JOY put the blessed rest and
mental relaxation of writing his deep,
abstruse and harmless editorials.

Two little shoes,
Out at the toes,
Trotting about

Soilcd gingham dress,
Put on just how
They do get so dirty,
No one knows how;
Little black face,
Black each wee hand
Been making mud pies,
And playing in sand;
Dear, precious head,
Tousled and rough;
Bright, laughing eyes,
Can't see enough;
This is our baby

Rosy and bare;
Two chubby hands,
Folded in prayer;

Heavy with sleep;
Silvery sweet voice,

STATISTICS on POPULATION.

A census bulletin, just issued. pre-.
sents the final official figures Of the pop
ulation Of the states and territories nc.
coraing TO the census Of 1880, and also,
for comparison, the figures for 1870
The total population Of tho United
States and territories, according to these
figures, is 30, lbs, 783, consisting Of 25.-
6lS, $50 males and q, 636, O63 females.
OF our population of over fifty million
people in 1880, 6,679, 94S were Of foreign
birth. Our population is composed OF
4S,4O2,97O whites, $3.50, 1913 colored
men, los, 465 Chinese, 14S Japanese, and
66, 407 Indians. Tits interesting to COM
pare these figures with those of 1870.
when the white population was 80, 592.-
245, the colored 1886, 1897, the Chinese
56.179; the Indians (estimated), III, 1876.
The white population has increased
nearly ten millions in the ten years, and
the colored population about zoe. 900.
The Chinese have nearly doubled in
number during the decade and the In
dams have lost almost half their number
in the same time.
One Of the interesting features Of the
census is the large increase of the colored
population. The colored men outnum-
Der the whites in the states of Louisiana.
Mississippi and South Carolina. The
following shows the relative increase of
the two races in these states since 1870:

An Exciting Capture Of . Shark.
from the Sydney Morning Herald.l


A shark measuring thirteen feet eight
inches in length. and eleven feet six
inches in eirth, was caught by some
Geelong fisherman in Corio Bay. The
contents of the stomach were "dogs,
cats and Sacks" His capture, as de-
scribed by one of the fisherman, was as
follows: "The hook was baited with
small shark, and when the monster came
up to this bait he turned on his side, and
q harpoon was sent into him well back
from the head; the harpoon was patent
one, with toggle, and opens when there
is any strain on the line. II held we'll.
Directly he was wounded, he struck the
boat with his nose aud sounded, taking
out about fifty fathoms Of line. We
then tried to take in the slack, when he
suddenly appeared on the surface and
made straight at the bow Of the boat,
which he seized by the cutwater and
shook like dog shaking cat, tearing
splinters OF. Meanwhile Gilbert drove
the lance into him half-a-dozen times,
and put paddle in his mouth to lever
it open. He let 60 the boat, bnt held on
to the paddle, which he waved about like
feather, but eventually dropped. He
then started OF Just below the surface,
towing the boat rapidly through the
water, and We had to pay ont fast to
keep her bow from going under. He
got tired Of that, and again sounded. /
began to take in the slack ine, and be
came again for the boat, when Gilbert
managed TO send the lance well into him
two or three times. 1t took M good
hour to make him quiet enough to TOW
into port, which, after two hours hard
pulling, with the assistance 81 more
men and another boat, We managed 10
