Two Boats Finishing.
SANDY Hook, N. Y, Sept. 7.-TO-day
is the first of the series Of most event
ful days in the history of American
yachting. The trial races are being run
o-day, which are to decide which Of all
the speedy American yachts is to be Sc
lected to defend the Americas cup
against the English valkyrie. To-day's
race consists of a run fifteen miles to
leeward or windward and return, and is
being sailed down the New Jersey or up
the Long Island course. If the wind
continues to the northwest, the race will
probably be along the New Jersey coast.
The anchoring ground for the yachts
will be off Bay Ridge. Already yester-
day afternoon many trim sail hoated
proudly on the waves between Staten
Island and the Ridge, but to-day the
scene there was one such as is never
witnessed except during an international
contest.
Much of the interest in the coming
trial events centers around the four big
sloops, the Jubilee, Colonia, vigilant and
Pilgrim. On all four the last finishing
touches have been made, and they should
be now as fit for the forthcoming strug
gle as were Dobbins and Domino when
they galloped proudly out at Sheepshead
for their famous match race.

convene Congress in extra ses-
sion between September first and
fifteenth. He said the financial
condition of the country required
such action, and intimated that
he thought the Sherman Silver
law responsible for the outflow
of gold. He advised GOODNESS
among bankers and study and
reflection among the people.

Several peers have names nearly alike.
There are Lord Amherst of Hackney,
and Earl Amherst. There are two peers
with only the difference of letter in
the spelling of their names-the Earl of
Lindsay and the Earl of Lindsey, the
former being Scotch representative
peer and the latter an English peer.
There is only the difference of letter
also in the names of Viscount Middleton
and Lord Middleton, but there is diff
ference in rank which makes the dis
tinction easy.
There are several instances in which
the territorial title is necessary to distin-
guish peers, the more notable being Lord
Stanley of Alderley and Lord Stanley of
Preston, and Lord Howard de Walden
and Howard of Glossop. Formerly Lord
Willoughby de Broke and Lord Will
loughby de Eresby sat in the house, but
the latter has been made an earl, and
will henceforth be known as the Earl of
Ancaster.-London Tit-Bits.

The Action Of sninst.

The spinet instrument was an improve
ment upon what was known as the clayi-
chord, the tone of which, although weak,
was capable, unlike that of the harpsi-
chord or spinet, of increase or decrease,
rejecting the finest gradations of the
touch Of the player. In this power Of
expression it was without rival until
the piano was invented. The early his
tory of the clavichord previous to the
Fifteenth century rests in profound OBJ
security, bat it is said that there is one
bearing the date 1920 having four oc-
taves without the D sharp and G sharp
notes. The spinet was the invention of
the Venetian Spinetta.
The action is unique. The instrument
is similar to small harpsichord with
one string to each note. The strings are
set in vibration by points of quilts ele-
waited on wooden uprights known as
jacks, and the depression of the keys
causes the points to pass upward, pro-
ducing tone similar to that of harp.
Springs are used to draw the quilts back
into position. The keyboard is arranged
in manner after the present modern
piano.-Providence Journal.

A book title, like woman's face,
ought to be pretty. And if bewitch-
ing, diaphanous veil, in the shape of a
slight curiosity rousing cloudiness of
meaning can be thrown over it, so much
the better. Readers delight to be half
taken in by books, just as men do by
women, SO long-and this is most i'm
portant proviso-so long as their vanity
is not piqued. The object of a title
should be to seem simple, artless, naive
and quite naturally charming, but this
as in the case of so many of its feminine
analogues-is often to be attained only
by the most consummate art.-Black-
woods Magazine.

Mr.. Cleveland laments "that
the timidity of capital is pain
fully apparent" but he proposes
nothing to reassure confidence.
He calls upon bankers to be
conservative" at the very mo-
ment when it is the excess of
conservatism, directly caused by
uncertainty as to the purposes
of the Administration, or rather
by the growing certainty that
it has no purpose whatever,
which has restricted loans,
frightened the money market and
precipitated failures. He adj
vises bankers not to have fear"
or have apprehension" I'M
mindful of the stern business
fact that it is the duty of the
President to be brave as it is
that of the bankers to be eau
tious. Business men have no
power and no responsibility in
the present grave financial en-
Urgency. All the power and re-
sponsibility are with President
Cleveland, who is an adept at
preaching platitudes, but a
wrecker in action.-N. Y. Press.
