Entries For the New Jersey Yacht

The Jersey City Yacht Club held It's
thirty-fonrth annual regatta yesterday.
The smart breeze which prevailed during
the morning, faded when the hour ar
rived for the start, and many of the boats
were withdrawn. Only ten OF the forty-
two started, but they represented hve OF
the seven classes, and the event was Tar
from being a failure. There would nave
been q contest In Class B, but the Notus
unfortunately sprung her mast while
testing her racing gear in the morning
and she could not meet the Gertrude,
which was ready for the sail. Two boats
at least had to start in each class for the
prizes. The yachts that competed
were Glass C-Alexander Rue's

given Mt 11:19, and ten minutes later the
signal to start was given. 1t was almost
a dead calm when the yachts started.
The wind freshened. At first 1t blew
systematically, but when the larger boats
reached the Narrows, the breeze was
steady and 1T was strong on the run
home.
The course for the boats in all the
classes except G was to and around buoy
No. II, off Swinburn Island. TIL small
cats ran around the buoy off Robbins
Reef and made two trips over the course.
The race in Glass G would ave been n
close one but the skipper of the Bessie
made for the wrong buoy and sailed SO
far out of his course that he lost many
minutes and was unable to recover the
lost time, az he had the spry Forsyth
against him.. The Lee was left so far
in the wake of the Guess So en- the nrst

abandoned the race and retired. The boats

AT THE CHURCH DOOR.


Here is the open portal, whereby Peace
Doth WOO thee to her most secure retreat;
Without, the noise and groaning of the street,
In the fierce strife for wealth and wealth's in
crease,
Surges like baleful thunder, nor doth cease
While morn to night and night to morn re-
peat
The dreams of wild ambition, and the fleet,
Strong tide flows onward, giving no release.
But enter thou; a soft encircling gloom
With slender sprays of jeweled light abloom.
Mellow with incense and the breath OF
prayer;
And in the mystic glory of his shrine,
One. Hottest, who with welcoming hands di-
vine
Doth wait to free thy soul from sin and care.
Falls on the kneeling multitude a sweet
And sudden hush, as if with one accord
Their eyes beheld the Presence of the Lord,
And bowed in gracious homage at his feet.
Before the shrine the veil of incense rolls;
Enraptured voices, rising high and higher,
With one long burst of love and joy aspire,
In breathless longing of uplifted souls.
o blssful ecstasy Most precious gift!
That thus can free from all the bonds that
pull
The winged spirit backward to the clod:
And through the mist of earthly cloud uplift
This moment of rapt silence, beautiful
With holy fear, and holier love of God

poor lie down and starve. | see tribes of
hardy mountainous in constant revolt
against the sultan. | cannot see that the
sultan in any sense governs anything or
anybody. He makes no roads, builds no
harbors, fosters no trade, administers no
justice. He only keeps his place by set
ting one tribe to plumber another, or by
keeping whole populations in a state of
starvation, and hence unable to resist his
eXactions.
AS he plays off the tribes within so he
plays off the nations without. He keeps
out their influence by fomenting their rival
jealousies In Tangier itself, the diplo-
matte capital of Morocco, there is not a
wheeled carriage. Why? Because there
is not sufficient cohesion among the con-
sulates and legations to get a carriage
road made. This is called the status in
quo, and is sometimes lauded as an admir-
able policy.-Fortnightly Review.

Food of Prehistoric Man in Europe

The wild horses that roamed over Europe
in immense herds appear to have furnished
the chief food of early man in Europe.
Enormous refuse heaps, consisting mainly
of the bones of wild horses, have been
found outside of the caves, as in those at
the foot of Mount Pellegrino, near PaleE-
mo, where the floor is formed of a magma
of the bones of wild horses, which were
either stalked with spears, driven by the
hunters into pitfalls or chased over the
cliffs. Similar deposits have been found
at the cave of Thayngen in Switzerland,
and in front of the rock shelter at Solutre,
near Macon, where there is vast deposit.
the relics of the feasts of these savages,
nearly ten feet in thickness and more than
800 feet in length, composed entirely of the
bones of horses, and comprising the re-
mains of from 10000 to 40, 0O0individuals.-

fac,urers weighing only 10s 1o4, and even as little as
100 pounds to the box. An extreme instance to
which our attention has been called shows bright
plates at so pounds to the box, and another $50
pounds for 90 by 90, equivalent to rs pounds to the
common box. statement that reached US
only few days since from an importer who Is
thoroughly conversant with conditions in Wales at
the present time to the effect that all but very
small percentage OF the plates that are at present
being imported are of the lightweight variety.
The Welsh manufacturer does not care
whether he defrauds the importer or dealer or
the American consumer, if only he can keep
hold Of the American market until the cleo
ton of Cleveland and Democratic Congress
brings repeal of the tin-plate duty. lie
imagnes that the large contributions which
the Democratic party has received and will
receive from foreign manufacturers will suffice
to overthrow the American National policy and
to secure a Democratic victory. If he can hold
on until his funds have borne fruit in Con-
gress and a President devoted to his interests,
he can then repay himself at his leisure for all
losses.
In precisely the same way foreign manu-
facturers of many kinds of wO0llen and cotton
goods are now fighting to hold the American
market by fraudulent devices more audacous
and dishonest than any heretofore attempted.
Qualities of goods are completely changed, even
OF many which have long borne an honorable
reputation. The worst material is used instead
of the best, weights are fraudulently altered,
and in countless other ways the manufacturers
contrive to send hther goods which can be
sold as chcaply, and which bear the same marks
and pretend to be Of the same quality as we'll
known goods formerly sold here at the same
prices at which the genuine articles were sold
before the new duties were imposed The Gov
ernment may have something to do in this
matter, and the proper officers of the customs
service will not be slow to protect American
consumers against fraud wherever they properly
can. The new administrative law gives them
largely increased power to that end, and for
that reason it is constantly denounced by a
class of importers whose profits depend upon
the success Of fraud. A Democratic Admin
stration, it is unnecessary to say, would find
officials who would be careful not to cmbarrass
large contributors to Democratic funds
But the people will have something to say.
Il is for them to decide whether an act which
is transferring great industries to this country
shall be repealed or fraudllently defeated by
the selection of officials who are in league with
importers If it is not their choice to be cheated
by foreign manufacturers, instead OF buying
goods which the sharp competition OF American
producers will compel each to furnish in quail
ty and in weight according to the expectation
of buyers, they know how to protect themselves
by Republican votes.

cheapening of the product whatever the facts
may be about the trust, and the reduction OF
cost has not lowered wages in the mills.
When the duties on linseed oil were changed
the rates on faxseed were raiseN from 20 to
80 cents bushel The effect was to exclude
an importation of foreign faxseed, which had
ranged from $1O,OOO,O0G to $15,000,0OO.
The American farmer obtained complete con-
troll of the home market. At the same time
his interests were largely promoted by the in
creased duties on linen manufactures, whereby
the straw which had previously been wasted
was made available for many new industries.
Even if the seed brings less in market in con-
sequence of an increased acreage in fax the
additional demand for the straw will largely
promote the interests of the farmer. The ex-
clusion of the importation operates to put him
in complete possession of the home field for
supplying the material needed in the linen and
linseed oil manufactures.

investigating the condition Of various indus

The one satisfactory feature of the case is
the efficiency OF the frontier quarantine. So
well has this been maintained that, down to
the present date, not one case OF the Aslatic
scourge has been reported in any European
country save Russia. There have been more
than thousand miles of land frontier to guard,
crossed by numerous highways of trade and
