RIPE FOR A YACHT CLUB.


Interest Aroused by the Americans
Visit-Her Entertaimen4 Yesterday.
The visit of the cutter yacht American,
of Anacortes, with its josial crew, has
done much to increase interest in yachting
and bring together the nautically inclined.
Sailing has had full swing during the last
few days and all the old yaehtsmen of New
York harbor, Narragansett bay, Long
Island sound and Boston harbor have be-
come enthused again and are fully ripe for
the organization of successful yacht club.
The anticipations of d. NJ. :Simonson, one
of the old standbys of the home club, an
old Brooklyn Club member, and the
Nestor in the sport, are about to be real
ICED. Seattle is to have one of the strong
est, richest and gamiest clubs on the
Sound and thus, in addition to being the
commercial center, Will surely become the
largest center of sailing craft on the
Sound, and the leader in all regattas and
cruising. The material is here to make q
splendid record.
In response to this feeling the MEM
bers Of the newly reorganized club have
taken great pains to royalty entertain the
visitors from Anacortes. In line with this
idea, the crew of the American were in
vited by G. V. Johnson, of Lake Washing
ton, to take sail yesterday morning on
his handsome sloop yacht, the Hetty Bell.
accompanied by several Of the resident
club members. After a pleasant sail in
very light winds, about noon the party re-
turned to the yachts moorings, doubly
grateful to Mr.. Johnson for the pleasure
afforded. Captain r. w. Riddle then in
vited the party to take ride to Madison
park on his smart little steamer, which
offer was accepted with many thanks. On
this trip the flyer Idlewild vas admired by
all aboard as twin sister of the Hetty
Bell, SO alike are they in appearance. The
following comprised the party:
W. Barr, D. NJ Tomblin, of San. Francisco; d. NJ.
Simonson and w. r. Hagan, f.. H. Boynton, W.
V. Gilbranson, Eugene Shrewsbury, Homer
Shrewsbury, G. A. Carpenter. Of the American.
In the afternoon sail was taken in the
American ON the bay with the same par
ties and with the addition of o. A. Spen-
Ger, J. A. johnson, NJ. SaNyer and John
F. Cronin, of the PosT-INTELLIGENCER.
The breeze was fresh and pracing, afford
ing good opportunity for the American
to scud along at a lively pace. The Leota
was also out with a crew, but was unable
to keep up with the run reeled off by the
visiting yacht.
The American sets sail for Tacoma to-
day, the crew deeply grateful for the hos
pitable treatment received from the cordial
Seattle yachtsmen.

A Steamer Line Around tho World.
John A. COckerill

An interesting news note reaches me
which directly concerns every American
citizen who expects to travel to the far
East. It is to the effect that the Mesa
geries Maritimes, whose procession of
magnificent steamships now runs from
France to Egypt, India, China and Japan,
propose to extend their lines to America.
Should this arrangement be carried out it
would be possible to sail on these splendid
vessels without change from Marseilles,
the globe in the ship.

delight at Judge Aldredge's sarcastic refer

had been restored he continued. ss1Ard this
is the man who charges cowafoice on
the part of George Clark. Why, fel-
low citizens, the mans a dude.
You may see him any morning on his way
to the capital, picking his way gingerly
through mud or dust as assiduously as any
society belle in Austin. His waxed mustaehe
would 90 honor 10 Trench count, his
glossy black coat would make crow
blaekbird hang his head in shame, his
standing collar glistening in the sunlight,
his lilly-wfite hands the admiration of the
avenue. Now if Terrell did run, ana don't
say he did; / don't know, but il he
did, it was mot because he was
afraid, but because his dudish soul was
Disguised with the smell of gunpowder, and
his abnormally sensitive olfaetory nerves
were mortally offended thereat.' When
the judge got through with this graphic
picture of the Austin statesman his hearers
were in Mysteries. They laughed and
howled with delight. and the judge was
only too glad to escape from the audience
in the midst of the hilarity.
Judge Clark left Dallas last night for his
home at Waco, where he will remain until
next Wednesday, when he begins his Sc
cond series of campaign speeches by
speech at Jewett.

Upon the uptaking OF the Australian bal
lot bill, Mr.. Clemens made motion to table
his own bill, and to consider that of Mr..
Pope, which prevailed.
Senator Searcy asked under what sub
ject of the call could this come, and Senator
Pope replied that he would consider it in the
section applying to registration. The bill
was then read by sections, and several
amendments adopted, when Senator Gar
wood spoke vigorously opposing the con-
sideration of the bill hastily, and in fact,
said he did not believe the matter had been
fully placed before the people.
Senator Burney said that he was not
sure that this work could be embraced in
the business set forth in the call, and Sena-
tor Pope said that he had not only had the
opinion of eminent counsel but also of the
governor upon the true lines of the matter.
MI Simplains asked if under the consti-
tuition the method of elections could be
changed without changing the constitution,
and Mr.. Pope replied that the bill merely
related to the casting OF the ballot and not
to any preliminary election arrangements.
The consideration of the bill was then
continued by consent with the knowledge
that no fiHal action would be taken on it.
Various amendments were offered to
the bill, and its consideration will be con-
tinued Monday.

charge all others. Adopted, and conse-
quently the clerks were discharged.

that the bill would not be mutilated by ex-
GLIDING histories from the list of books pre-
scribed for the schools. He did not fear
any harm from their teachings as long as

to their children could not be obliterated,

Sentlal to the education of child and he in
sisted that histories be kept in the bill
MIR. Gossett said that the state had no
right, no party or government had 1t, to
prescribe the history that should be taught
in the public schools. To claim the right
was INDUSTRIOUS heresy and violation of
every natural right of the parent.
MIR. Brown retorted by saying that Mr..
Gossett was able aud had time to teach his
boy history. There are 10000 other fathers
not competent to do that. Shall their,
children be allowed by the state to remain
in ignorance of their country's history,
while educating them in other branches2
Mr.. Bats insisted that history should
be taught in the public schools in order
that the state may exercise its supervisory
power over the subject.
Judge Terrell opposed the teaching of
history OF the United States in the public
schools. Bible teaching in the schools was
prohi bited. The same reason applied, per-
