NEWPORT. Aug. 10-The big fleet OF the
New York club arrived here this morn
ing on the annual cruise. The run fro m
New London was made in good time as
there was fairly steady wind blowing
and very little sea on. The yachts made
an early start and as they swept out OF
the Thames aud into the sound they pre-
seuted a picture that aroused the enthu-
siasm Of the yachtsmen.
What added interest to today's run
was tho prevailing impression that the
Vigilant and Gen. Pains's Jubilee, both
of which were built to defend the
Americas cup, would have brush on
the run. The boats began to arrive here
about / o'clock. The official time and
the winners will not be known until late
this afternoon.

Some New York Breakfasts.

Nearly every German bakery on Third
avenue serves breakfast and luncheon to
the furnished room population of the
east side. Some serve eggs and cold
meats, coffee, tea and chocolate. The
majority, however, provide only coffee,
tea, rolls and cakes. Nine out of ten
of the customers take coffee and cake.
The latter is not the French or Ameri-
can kind. 1t consists Of four varieties
dear to the German palate-apple,
peach, prune and sugar. The last
named is also called cinnamon. 1t is
made of bread dough on the upper sur
face of which is spread some butter,
sugar and cinnamon. Then it is baked
hard.
The peach and apple cakes are made of
thinly rolled bread dough, ,surmounted by
slices of apples or peaches, as the case
may be. When a little butter and sugar
have been placed between the slices, the
baker has approached as near perfection
as possible. The dough of the prune cake
is made like the other and covered
thickly with mashed stewed prunes.
In the best bakeries a slice of any of
these cakes from four to five inches
square is sold for cents. A good cup of
coffee or tea with milk and sugar costs
the same. Those who like light and sweet
breakfasts can thus be satisfied for 10
cents. Probably 5000 east siders eat
such breakfasts in the bakeries every
morning. York Sun.

He was approaching the piano at the

playing. BY this time the relief was
abreast of the bass keys, and these the

and then the newcomer, still standing,
but also moving steadily TO the right,
struck in in perfect time and tune.
There was a brief time, a second or
two, when both men were playing-the
retiring pianist the treble and the on
coming player the bass-and for frac-
ton of a second they were both stand

opposite the center of the keyboard. He
settles into the seat, and now it is his
hand that strikes the treble, and now the
whole piano resounds to his reSolute

In fact, there never was a minute
when the piano had anything to say
about it. There never was a minute
when the men were not completely mas
ters of the situation. There never was
an instant from the time the relief ap-

CHARGED TO A WOMAN.
1t Is Said That the American Wife of B.
rios Il as Caused the Guatem alan Troubl

1t Is Said That the American Wife of Bar
rios Eas Caused the Guatem alan Trouble.
A woman again. We learn that the
prompter of the recent revolution in the
republic of Guatemala, through which a
dictatorship has been set up, was an am
bilious woman, the American wife of
General Barrios, lady whose name is
not unknown in New York. The enc
mics of Barrios in Guatemala declare
that it was she who induced him to pro-
claim himself dictator, and who is the
author of the arbitrary policy under
which the country is ruled at this time,
and under which the deputies are kept
in prison and the army is held ready for
action and suspected persons are ban
ished, and the people are compelled to
keep as quiet as they can. The enemies
of BarriOS say that he has neither the
pluck nor the brains needed for a die
tator, and that he is merely the tool of
the determined American woman whom
he took to wife.
She may yet rue the day in which she
conceived the dictatorship. The an
ti-Barrios Guatemalans are aroused
against her. They denounce her in
whispers. They condemn her in pla-
cards, which are stuck up in the night
time on the dead walls and fences of the
city of Guatemala la Nueva. They get
out circulars, which are surreptitiously
printed and secretly distributed, in
which she is characterized as an Amer
ican interlOper." There is no doubt that
she is in danger. If the Constitutional
lists who are lurking around the capital
and on the Salvadorian frontier, stealth
lily preparing to take the field against
the dictatorship, shall overthrow Bar
rios, we cannot say that she will not
suffer as hard a lot as she has been
charged with inficting upon others.
We are surprised at her course. Amer
leans ought to be the champions of dem
ocratic freedom and republican institu-
tions everywhere. York Sun.

The Oldest Soldier In the World.

Russia proudly claims the oldest sol
dier, if not the oldest citizen of any rank,
in the known world. Her claimant for
this distinguished honor is Colonel Grit
zenko Of Pottawa near Odessa, who, if he
lives until Feb. z, will celebrate his one
hundred and twentieth birthday. Grit
zenko entered the military service in the
year 1899, l04 years ago. and received
from the hands of Empress Catherine
herself gold medal for conspicuous
bravery at the assault Oh Ismail. This
trophy, of which the aged warrior is
justly very proud, bears the following
inscription: For exceptional bravery at
the assault of Ismail, Dec. IL, 17S9."-

Hair Splitting Bishop.

1t is recorded of a certain hair split
ting English bishop, who was accus-
toned to compose his charges" in the

opposite to him, that he invariably treat
ed it as though it were living vis-a-vis.
The train being very full on one occa-
sion, would be passenger inquired if
this place was taken, and the bishop,
with his sunniest smile. expressed regret
that there was no room. Il don't think
that was quite right, my lord" said one
of his fellow passengers. What was

ly. Ito say that the place was taken -

FLOWER SUPERSIITlONS.

Maidens' BarCmeters For Diyining the
Depths of Their Sweethearts' Love.
1t is singular to see how many mean
ingless ceremonies are now practiced by
young women-ceremonies which were
formerly used in earnest as love charms
or incantations. Most Of these have an am
atory origin, and in connection with not
Rfew certain flowers are used, presumably
as means of foretelling the future. In
several parts of New England when a
young lady expects visit from her lover
she will pluck a marigold, take it in her
hand when he arrives and carry it until
the end of his visit, when from its fresh
or faded condition she will judge Of the
strength of his affection.
A German girl, after having been
called on by her lover, will put star
flower or dandelion in water and leave it
there until his next visit, drawing an
omen from its condition, while Spanish
maiden will take a moss rosebud, wear
1t on her breast, and if it expands to be-
come perfect flower the omen is con-
sidered exceedingly fortunate. A super
stition of the same kind is shown by the
East Indian maiden who places poppy
in her hair. In England the primrose is
used for the same purpose, and in coun-
try districts of New England the spikes
of the rib wort plantain are taken,
wrapped in dock leaves, placed beneath
a stone, and if the next day signs of new
buds appear the omen is considered
happy.
In France young ladies desirous Of
ascertaining the extent of a lovers affec-
tion take the common daisy and pull off
its leaves one by one, with the question,
"Does he love me? Does he love me
little? Does he love me much? Does he
love me with all his soulY' Marguerite
in Faust" uses the common blue bottle
with similar questions. In England the
ash leaf is sometimes employed to ascer-
tain the faithfulness of an absent lover
and the Irish maiden learns of her future
by putting shamrock in her shoe, after
which she walks abroad, and the first
man she meets or one of his name will be
her husband.-New York Advertiser.

NEW USE FOR CHLOROFORM.

fed to Facilitate Robbery.
When the first section of the east
bound passenger train No. s On the Chi
cago and Erie pulled into the station
here the other day, the brakeman told
Policeman Haller, who was at the depot,
that all of the passengers in one of the
day coaches had been chloroformed by
some unknown person. The passengers
consisted mostly Of eastern people who
were on their way home from the
Worlds fair, and the train only stopped
at few places along the line.
After leaving Huntington the passen-
gers in the day coach all settled down in
their seats TO take nap, and after the
train left Decatur the brakeman was
passing through one of the day coaches,
when he detected a peculiar odor and
noticed that the passengers were nearly
all sleeping heavily. Their sleep ap-
peared so unnatural that the brakeman
grew suspicious, and going into one
Of the sleepers, where there happened
to be doctor with whom he was ac-
quainted, he asked the physician to go
into the coach and see if he could detect
anything wrong. The doctor complied
with his request, and going into the
coach Immediately detected the odor of
chloroform. The doors and windows
were opened, and in few minutes they
succeeded III arousiDg the sleeping pas
sengers, who fortunately had not
breathed enough of the drug to affect
them very much. They were surprised
to learn that they had been dragged and
were very thankful for the brakelnan's
timely discovery.
1t is supposed that after leaving Hunt
tington some one entered the car, and
finding the passengers already half
asleep had saturated the car with
enough of the drug to make them sleep
soundly. He then went into another car
to wait for the chloroform to take effect.
Undoubtedly he would have returned to
rob the sleeping passengers had not his
scheme been discovered. The car being
closed tightly and unusually warm, in
all probability the passengers in short
time would have been at the mercy OF
the chloroformer.- Dispatch in
Cincinnati Enquirer.
