The Conditions Are Favorable for Sea Sickness in Connection With
 the Day's Sport.

SANDY HooK, Oct. 9.-At the hour of the Valkyrie and Vigilant could he seen in tow making for the hook. The weather is delightful and cool southwest wind is blow ing at the rate of about twelve miles an hour with the indications of more wind, which outcome is anxiously hoped for by all.
 There is light haze on the water, but it seemed to be clearing away as the day wore on. Following the yachts, the flagship and stakeboat down the bay came first, the yachts were loaded with sight seers, early birds, an excursion fleet and steam. CTS chartered by the different yacht clubs, all flying clouds of flags and making the air ring with music from a small army of brass bands of the most torturing species.
 When the chronometers recorded five minutes past 9 o'clock, with the aid of marine glass, Lord Dun ravens desinger, Watson, MT. Kerr, Lord Dunraven's brother-in- law, and Sail Maker Ratesi, could be seen on board the Valkyrie, while c. Oliver Iselin, Nat Herreschoff, Perry Bel mont and Capt. Hansen could be seen on the Vigilant deck. The Valkyrie appears to have lady pas sengers to day, and the opinion ex- pressed is that Lady Dunraven is on board the British cutter. A long swell is rolling, and there is a fair prospect of sea sickness as an accompaniment of the days sport. At 10:30 the fckle and all-important atmosphere is being moved in currents at the rate of about sixteen miles an hour at Sandy Hook, and both yachts are standing on different tacks about the Sandy Hook light-ship.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2:50 p. m.- The Vigilant wins, crossing the line at ? $50 pm.

 CTS of New England.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Oct. 9.-A big strike in the woolen mills of Ol- neville, suburb of this city; was iuaugurated this morning. Prob ably 6000 people are out of work and the strike is growing rapidly. Before if stops, unless all signs fail, every woolen manufacturing establishment in this state will close doors, and there is talk of the cotton workers joining in the strike. There has been discontent ever since the notice was posted iu the mills last week of a reduction in wages, and several meetings of the opera lives were held and speeches, natural to precipitate strike, made by labor agitators. It was resolved to wait until tbis morning when. 1t was understood the scale of prices was to be posted before taking deh- nite action. The price list was posted this morning. The weavers in the Taft mills held consultation in the work room which resulted in leaving the looms and coming out on strike. As soon as they went out a cry was raised, "Let us go to Fletcher's Mills," and the crowd marched down to the National Worsted Mills. Here they stationed themselves in front of the mills shouting, "Come on, and the weavers promptly left the work. The strikers then proceeded to the other mills, bringing out all the men employed in tbe mills of Charles Fletcher.
 The help ia the Riverside mills yielded and every wooden mill closed at noon. Seven thousand people are idle in the little village, and contest has commenced that will involve the textile workers of New Eng land,

 A Mother sends n Bah Through Her hilds
 Heart-It Was an Accident.
 YEILvILLE, ARK, Oct. g. Spe- cial. Lone of the saddest accidents that ever occurred in North Arkan- sas happened near here Saturday evening.
 Frank Rice and family, living south of Melville, went over to visit Elijah Smith and family on Water Creek. While playing around tho house Mr. Rice's 6-year old son found an old pistol that had been thrown under the floor. He took it to his mother, who being in- formed that 1t was not loaded and had been thrown around the house as plaything all summer, cooked it, and pointing the muzzle toward her boy, laughingly said: "Pll shsot you, and pulled the trigger. To her horror the weapon fired and shot the boy through the heart. He fell at her feet and uttered but one piercing cry. The little fellow was buried Sunday at the Taylor gravey ard and the mother is almost insane with grief. The boy was a fine, hardy child and idolized by all who knew him.
 About six or seven years ago, in the same neighborhood, boy about the same size, son of Tom Smith, was killed wbile playing with an old pistol.

ALL NATIONS.
THEY WERE REPRESENTED AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR TO-DAY.
CHICAGO DAY.
The Crowds Were Unusually Large and the Exercises Were Grand-The Pro-
 gramme Excellent.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.--Chicago day was grand success. 1t is the banner event of the fair The ave- nues are not filled with equippages of state, but the common people were here by tens of thousands. School children, laborers, mechanics, in fact citizens from every calling came in squads. The speech making was no feature. Long ago the ex- position crowds have shown dis taste for oratorical contests. To-day all was action. The events of pop ular interest were so numerous as to turn the head of the average wis itor. One grand feature followed another. The sun peeped above the blue of Lake Michigan, people hurried to the different depots to take the trains to the White City. Down town business houses were locked up Saturday night and the keys hid until tomorrow. The merchants, actuated by pa triotic impulses, purchased tickets for their employees. Everybody is in holiday attire and Chicago is at it's best. Every mode of transpor- tation was taxed to the limit. The people hung on cable trains three deep. Visitors were armed with souvenir tickets, and Chier Tucker, of the department of admissions, had every available man at work. The decoration at the fair was superb. From the flag staffs of the big buildings, keeping company with the stars and stripes, the colors of every nation waved out a greeting to their countrymen. The state buildings were loaded with bunting and flags. In many in stances flowers were banked about the doors. It was 10 o'clock when the Chicago Hussars, under command of Capt. Brand, entered the grounds at the west end of Mid way. As the company made tour of the grounds battery D, under the direction of Lieut.. Russell, was firing salute over the lake front. Flanking the grand basin and sta toned on the peristile of the administration, manufac lures and agricultural build ings the trumpetors in herald's uniform played short fan fare piece and then in unison playing the air to the ends of the grounds. "Peace on earth, good will to men" was played. The com bined bands, which numbered several hundred musicians, played the air "All Nations. " It was grand spectacle. The height of enthusiasm was reached, however, when chorus of 2000 voices, under the direction of Professor Tomlins, sang "The Star-Spangled Banner. y The refrain was taken up by 10000 people, and as the singers executed the notes of the American hymn the united bands swelled the volume to an extent rarely heard. Then the chorus sang some of the Southern airs including "Dixie Land" "Mary- land" and Kentucky Home. " "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean" was then sung, and the united bands marched from the grand plaza to the west entrance of administration building. Here the new liberty bell was rung by Mayor Harrison in honor of the day.

- HIS NECK BROKEN.
A Negro Killed at the Monticello Fair
 Grounds-A Mystery About It.

MONTICELLO, Oct. g. Special. A negro, Press Super, about 2l years of age, was killed at the fair grounds at 3 80 Saturday afternoon. There seems to have been general fight, in which two negroes and several white men were engaged. This took place on the race track. This negro suddenly emerged from the crowd and ran to the fence and jumped over. He fell to the ground, but arose and made two or three staggering steps and fell again. Failing to rise, bystanders went to him and found him dead. A cor oner's jury was impaneled and several witnesses examined. The jury at a late hour adjourned. No arrests have been made. No evidences of a SC we're blow were to be found on his person. Dr. Loper, who was imme- diately summoned, so heard, re- ported on examination that the ne gro's neck was broken. The event is greatly deplored by all.
 The fair holds it's annual session next week. Present indications are that it will be one of the most sue cessful in it's history. President Cosin and Secretary Knox have been very active in arranging for splen- did exhibits. Wednesday, the l1th, is soldiers day, and all soldiers, whether Federal or Confederate, will be ad nitted free of charge and special dinner will be prepared in their honor. The battle flag of the Third Arkan. sas, Col. Van Manniug's regiment, has been sent from Texas by Col or Sergeant Spencer YouAg, and will be exhibited on the first day1 This regiment, it will be remembered, was notably active and courageous, and was in the entire war from the beginning until the surrender at Appomatox.

The Fame of City on Account Of Medical
 Researcls.


 CINCINNATI, 0. Oct. 9.-The fame of this city as a center of medical research has gone to the ends of the earth. Dr. c. Howard Strong, of Capetown, South Africa, has been here week Investigating Inc Amick cure for consumption, and takes back with him sufficient medicines for sixty patients. He sails from New York October II. Dr. Joaquin Duenos, secretary of Cuba's delega- tion to the Pan-Amer:can Medical Congress, was also sufficiently i'm pressed to order the Amick medi- cines, and yet another delegate ob tained a supply for Venezuela. In far-off Alaska an American physi- elan, Dr. Arthur Jordan, is stopping the ravages of consumption amongst the natives on his Island of St George with Amick's help, and the Cincinnati discoverer's offer tc physicians everywherl oL free test medicines for any number of pa tients, is as eagerly accepted in the frozen North as in the Southern tropics.

THE INHeRITANCE TAX.
1t Is Imposed in Nearly Every Civilized
Coun ry.

1t Is Imposed In Nearly Every Civilized
Coun ry.
Nearly every civilized country in
the world has an inheritance tax as
part of its fiscal system, and in many
countries Mr.. Gould's estate would
have paid much more than 500, 600,
says the Review of Reviews. In
France or Italy the share of the state
would have been about 81, 900, 900; in
England nearly 5000, 900; in Ontario
or Victoria moro than So, 800, 90. In
most of the American common
wealths, on the other hand, there
would have been no tax whatever,
though in few states the compar-
atively small requests to the brother
and sister would have been taxable,
and if Mr.. Gould had lived in Chi
cago his estate would have paid some
$62, 900 toward the support of the
Cook county probate court
If he had died two years ago his
estate would have paid no tax in New
York, for it was only in 1891 that the
legislature imposed the one per cent
tax on direct inheritances OF personal
property in the case of estates OK
ceeding $4,000 in value. Yet the
estates of two or three other rich
New Workers, who died after the in
PRODUCTION of the five per cent col
lateral inheritance tax in 1885, have
contributed very respectable amounts
to the state treasury. The estate Of
Mrs. a. +. Stewart has paid more
than $500, 900, and that Of Henrietta
A. Lenox more than $1,000 while
the collateral requests of William II.
Vanderbilt have yielded ISL, 900.
The Gould estate will certainly pay
much more than any of these, though
the amount cannot accurately be
stated until the property has been
appraised. The heirs will probably
take advantage of the five per cent
discount for the payment of the tax
within six months, and something
like $4,000 will be retained by the
comptroller Of New York city as his
compensation for representing the
state in the appraisal and for collect
ing the tax.

Il Blue Really Ireland,s Color?

Blue, it is claimed, is really the
national color of Ireland; certainly it
was from the advent of Strongbow
until quite recently. The late Sir b.
Burke, Ulster, king OF arms and au-
thor of "Burke's Peerage," is quoted
on this point thus: azure and azure
alone has been the color of Ireland
since the conquest. At the creation
of the Knights of st. Patrick. when it
was the object of George III. to graf
ify the national sensibility of Ireland.
the color selected for the knights
was blue. The royal Irish regiments
have their facings generally blue, and
never green; while the uniform of the
Irish brigade in the service of France
was red. About seventy years ago
when the peerage of Bantry was Gre
ated, one of the supporters granted
was a female figure, representing Ire-
land-namely, a lady robed in blue

ceived notice of loss of horse, for
which the assured demanded imme-
date payment While going through
the customary formula regarding the
death of the animal. and wondering
that windstorm did no damage but
kill one horse, the company inquired
in what manner the killing occurred.
The assured at once wrote back that
his horse had died of wind-colic, and
that he wanted his pay at once to
buy another. This peculiar state OF
affairs leads to a suggestion to com
panies doing n tornado and wind

to insert clause similar to those

Mice That sub.i.t on Scorpions.

Among the queer forms of animal
life that inhabit Death valley is a
mouse that has acquired such taste
for scorpions that they form its entire
bill of fare. The scorpion carries its
formidable armament in the end of
its slender, elongated abdomen in the
shape of an exceedingly venomous,
hooked sting. When disturbed ii
elevates this in the air and goes in
search of its disturber. But it is
comparatively slow in its motions,
while mice are proverbial for their
quickness the world over. The mouse
learned many generations ago where
the scorpion carries its weapon, and
when he meets it he jumps at the up
lifted abdomen, takes of the sting at
a single bite, and proceeds to make a
meal of his helpless prey. 1t is sup
posed to be the only animal that rel
ishes scorpions Sports Afield.

Wild elephants sometimes make

bullet in his shoulder. The chase
was abandoned for the time. A fort

this way that refreshing moisture
had been conveyed to the fevered
and suffering giant, keeping him
alive.
The hunters were divided as to
whether the elephant should be put
