The Virginia Islands.

Chincoteague, which is the most popu-
lous of the Virginia islands, has from
300 to 400 wild ponies roaming it's pas
lures. Wallop's island, hard by, now
the property of some New York and
Brooklyn politicians, who have club
house there, has been a cattle pasture
for generations, perhaps for centuries,
and half dozen named or nameless
islands between Wal1op's and Hog island
have half wild cattle or hogs feeding on
their rank salt grass. These creatures
are INTENDED the year round, and are
penned once year for branding. The
cattle are small, sharp horned creatures,
and the hogs are of the tall razorbacked
variety common in the pine forests Of
the mainland. When cattle or swine
are to be brought ashore they are driven,
a score or SO together, upon the decks Of
a rallied scow and lowed astern Of a
sailing craft of some sort.

Another Hitch in Negotiations Over Dun
ravens Challenge.

New YORK, December S.--There is a
little hitch in the overtures that have
been carried on between Lord Dunrayen
and the New York Yacht Club for race
for the America cup. Yachtsmen have
been wondering why the cup committee
decided to lay the challenge before the
members of the club at special meet
ing without making recommendation or
suggestion, for the committee received
full power to act in any way they saw
fit The reason is that some of the corn
mitteemen claim that the challenge is
not strictly within the deed of gift, and
that it is in opposition to the cablegram
sent to Lord Dunraven on November p.
The conditions in the challenge are in
exact accord with the propositions made
by Lord Duhraven in his letters, with
the notifications asked for by the COM
mittee representing the New York
Yacht Club, but the Royal Yacht
Squadron has not technically challenged
under the deed of gift.
The committee, in view of this, de-
cided to let the members of the club
take the responsibility of accepting or
refusing the challenge, and at the meet
ing next Tuesday will lay before the
members all the correspondence relating
to the proposed race.

THEY WRITE POETRY.
To the Public, However, Their Lin.
pid Prose is Most Familiar.

Mrs. Edith Sessions Topper and Mrs. Lee
c. Hardy Represent the Far North and
the, Very Sunny South, but Both Are
Truly American.
Poetry is confined to no CLINE and to
no race, though some peoples are gifted
far above others, and it is one ofsthe
pleasing facts to all Americans that their
poets today represent every section of
the nation. For an i]Flstration let two
ladies be taken-one Of Jewish blood and
far southern birth and rearing, the other
of old Puritan stock, born and reared
near the Canada line, Mrs. Lee G. Hardy
is thoroughly southern and Mrs. Edith
Sessions Upper quite as thoroughly
northern in origin, feeling and educa-
ton, yet both are now the pride of New
York, and their fame is truly national.
Mrs. Harby's father was Marx E. CO.
hen, graduate of the University Of
Glasgow, who married Miss Armida
Hardy, of family distinguished in the
history and literature of South Carolina.
They became the parents of one son and
five daughters. The son lost his life in
the Confederate army, and the fathers
domestic tastes led him to be the con-

Miss Lee Hardy loved an open air life
she early became his chief companion on
his plantation, though a native of
Charleston. She married her second
cousin, Mr.. J. D. Hardy, a son Of Cap
tain L. G. Hardy, U. S. N, and they re-
sided in Galveston till 1879.
There she began to contribute to the
press, and her article on "Christmas Be
fore the War attracted much attention.
After brief residence in Houston they
removed to New York city. Her his
tory of the German colony in Texas
caused her election as a member of the
American Historical association. She
is also member of Sorosis. Her poetry
is of the sentimental order. dealing al
most entirely with the affections as
illustrated in her lines of rejoicing en-
titled "My Boy" After an exquisite
detail of the toys and garments seen in
dream and presented to her in casket
by cupids she tells of finding in the
casket being Of this sort:
Oh, his skin was like pearl and his eyes dark
ly brown,
While his lips seemed with strawberries fed.
His soft hair loosely curled and like vine ten
drills chung,
But the shade-would you think it?-was red.
Yet his smile was so sweet my heart melted
with love,
And / called him my life and my PRIDE
While Graded him soft in my covetous arms
And nestled him close by my side.
Mrs. Edith Sessions Topper is daugh-
ter Of the Hon. Walter Loren Sessions,
ex-member of congress and prominent
in New York politics, and was born at
his home in Chautauqua county, N. Y,
about the beginning Of the civil war.
Her early opportunities were of the very
best. She was reared in an intellectual
atmosphere, educated at Vassar and ac-
quired all the varied knowledge and
social standing possible to a congress-
mans daughter in Washington city.
Ten years ago she married Mr.. Horace
E. Upper, railroad manager, and went
to live in Chicago, where she launched
into journalism and made brilliant
success from the start
After doing much good work for The
Herald, Tribune and Inter Ocean she
removed to New York and soon became
known as one Of the most versatile

GREENvILLE,N N. j., December S.-This
morning the Bound Brook express en-
route to Jersey City struck and killed a
woman and her infant. The train was
stopped Immediately. Another train
was outward bound on the opposite
track whose engineer saw the killing and
stopped his train Behind him, on the

the stopping was so sudden that the last
train could not stop in time, although
the engineer applied the brakes, and his
engine plowed through the rear car for
half its length. Miss Gilroy Of Elizabeth

prove fatal. One man had his collar

It is perhaps delicate matter to

the very climax of the heat and fury Of
the late political campaign there was
universal pause and expression of pro-

was and is the same. The domestic joys
