There are all kinds of yachts, all kinds of
Yachting, and all sorts Of yachtsmen. Yachts
men who move about in state from place to place
IN great floating palaces, with retinue of ser
wants. and all that wealth can afford Of luxury
and ease, and the hannel-shirted, sun-browned
young man Of moderate means who takes his
vacation by taking cruise up the Sound in a
cstboat are two extreme types of the same
renus. Between them comes the man who
dotes on forty Hooters, the man who revels in a
Yoony sloop. and the man who considers no yacht
ing in the world worthy the name except such as is
comprised in schooner sailing.
The actual cost Of yachting can be ascertained
no matter what the form Of yachting may be.
But when it comes to the determining Of how
much yachtsman has TO spend his yacht in
the season the factor Of the stewards department
comes in. This is an unknown and underlined

The appointment Of Mr.. Hathaway to the
nice position of postmaster of the house OF
representatives puts one candidate out of
the way for the Helena post-ofice. James
3. Walker is still the most promising can
didate. though I. H. Clewell is not to
be overlooked. Moses Morris and
j. w. Thompson are still in the ring, as
we'll az Chief Clerk Anderson. Both Nor
RS and Thompson are very much talked of
in the ranks as candidates for the mayor
atty next spring. The former represents
the oid,timers of the party, while Thomp-
son is the most conspicuous in the ranks of
the young blood. In view of the probable
ity OF either being chosen to head the mum
icipal ticket, the candidacy as regards the
Postotfice is not to be seriously considered.
James b. Walker has the unqualified en-
dorsement Of the Montana delegation, but
Russell B. Harrison appears in the road as
the only obstruction. Mr.. Walkers legion
OF friends are still confident that he will
get the plum. and Mr.. Walker himself has
not given up hope. AS long as he is in the
ring. and the country knows it, he is going
to stay there until the question is decided.

THE PORTER AND HIS CHUM.

land, or rather, waterscapes, he utilizes the clothing of the patrons of the road for Q background. You can get your clothes painted while you wait on the stairs.
 When not impeding the flow of pas sengers on the stairs, the porter can be seen on his knees in the waiting-room; but he is not saying his prayers as one might suppose at first glance. He Is merely grooming the shining tin cus- pidor and attending to its other wants. At other times, armed with a copious rag, he may be seen administering . dry shAmpooh to the door-knobs and brass mounting.
 In addition to his salary he is sup posed to garner 8 daily harvest of aban- doned cigar stumps that accumulate on the platform, which explains his zeal in enforcing the order of the company that no lighted cigars or cigarettes shall be carried into the cars. There Is ghast- ly rumor that the choice stumps are re- served for his own private smoking in the seolusion of the family circle, while the rest are disposed of at private sale to the cigarette factories.
 While the colored porter is usually stern and morose toward the patrons of the road, he unbends in his intercourse with the white officials. The white major-general who manipulates the ticket chopper appears to be the favorite chum of tho colored porter. They are continually exchanging remarks of a presumably humorous character, for ever and anon can be heard the loud simultaneous guffaw of this misfit Damon and Pythias, as the darkey throws back his head and affords tho traveller fine view of the air-shaft that, leads down into his lungs.
 There is, however, still more i'm. portant duty devoting on the porter. When passenger can not understand why he gets back in change only ninety five cents out of five dollar bill, 1t de- wolves upon the colored porter to drop his polishing rag, and bring forth Q large African war club, with which he smites the fleeing patron of tho road, even as the flowing waters of the lordlv Hudson are chastised by the paddle wheels of the fast-going steamboat,
 Formidable as he is with his war-club, he Is still more to be dreaded on the witness stand. When 1t comes to com hitting perjury with straight face the humble colsred porter has nothing to learn from the naughty poodle alderman or an indicted deputy sheriff.
 Occasionally accidents happen on the elevated roads. It is then the duty of
