That the effort to bring about the first
race in the series for the Americas cup
should hove failed because there was an in
sufticiency of wind was unfortunate, and
viewed from the American standpoint, was
doubly unsatisfactory because even in the
drifting match which took place the Eng
hsh yacht was victorious. There is gen.
eral impression to the effect that the semi
contest Of yesterday proved nothing. but
experts who ought to know all about it
say that several things were proven. and
that some OF them were quite surprising
One OF the things shown-and it shocked
many people-was the fact. says the New
York Times, that the Vigilant Is a faster
boat than the Valkyrie running before the
wind in a very light breeze. This is sur
prising because on this point of sailing the
cutter has heretofore shown her superiori-
y to the sloop. Under these conditions the
Genesta beat the Puritan and the Thistle
beat the Volunteer. On the other hand the
only bit Of windward sailing that was per-
mitted by the sudden shift Of the wind, of
which the Valkyrie took prompt advan-
tage and the Sigilant did not, was the lat
ter part of what was meant to be the run
down the wind" The indications there
fore are that when sailing in a light breeze,
and close-hauied. the Valkyrie is The super
Tor. 1t yet remains to be seen as to which
of the two boats is. as a whole, The better
one Another effort will be made To carry
out the program that failed yesterday; it
Will be made tomorrow. In all the yacht
ing history Of this country there Is no
record Of such intense enthusiasm as was
apparent yesterday. not only in New York,
but all over the country The contest is
more important than any that has up to
this time taken place. for it will probably
result in the establishment of a type Of
construction than which nothing more
speedy Is likely to be evolved Resistance
To fluid influences has been reduced to a
minimum. and ability to capture and make
use Of every vagrant pun of wind has about
11ssd the limit of human ingenuity.

If there was the slightest probability Of
Congress granting to inconsderate corpora
tons the privilege of operating street-cars
through the medium of overhead trolley
wires Washington would surely be interest
ed in some Of the many dangerous happen
ings that are common in those cities which
have passed into the possession of the
trolley men, Baltimore has fallen into their
clutches and when the sensible people Of
that city stop to figure out their situation
they generally indulge in vain regrets.
Yesterday evening a trolley wire burned
through. broke. and fell in the middle Of
Baltimore's most crowded thoroughfare.
An unfortunate motorman was the only one
severely shocked, but there were many
narrow escapes from contact with the
squirming wires and the sparks they emit
ted The resumption of traffic was long de-
layed, but that. on an overhead trolley road.
Is minor evil. In Philadelphia there Is
loud complaint because in addition to the
other varieties Of harm that are being done
there is mutiiation of shade trees 20 the end
that poles may be erected and wires strung.
Electric light men. too, have been equally
reckless as to foliage. and in discussing ex-
posed wires the Philadelphia Press says
that such conduct as the construction
gangs are guilty of is lone Of the evils Of
overhead wires which the city was promis-
ing to get away from until the trolley line
came down with a new invasion and poles
and wires began to multiply without regard
to the effect on trees or the wishes of indi-
viduals. There seems to be no means Of
heading or curbing the trolley In this town.
1t will probably do what it pieases as it has
done ever since the Supreme Court made it
potential. and the owners Of trees will hold
them subject to the pleasure of any gang
Of men who want to erect pole or put up
q wire"

Some time ago distinguished democratic
Senator. in a speech delivered upon the floor
OF the Senate, said that in all his long ex-
perience there never had been such accurate
work by the enrolling clerks Of the Senate
as during the past few years. The compli-
ment thus made public was called forth by
errors In bills made at the other end Of the
Capitol and due entirely to the political
insanity that demands a clean sweep in the
offices whenever the political complexion of
the majority undergoes q change. Times
without number great embarrassment
has resulted from the inexperience
and ignorance Of employees. until at last
the blunders came to be known as 'legis-
lation by enrolling clerks" OF this the
Senate has known nothing for long time
in fact. that body is indebted to its clerks
for the correction Of many errors that had
escaped the senatorial eye and would have
found their way into the acts, but for cleri-
cal vigilance. To do the difficult work CT
enrolling with the extreme accuracy that
should characterize 1t. the clerk must be
possessed of both natural aptitude and
educated experience, and 1t might reason
ably be supposed that when these qualities
had been found they would be valuable
enough to keep. 1t seems. though. as If
pastisan advantage weighs more heavily
than mere merit, for the Senate authorities
have been engaged in making changes that
may easily cause embarrassment and con-
vexation. When a private EN-
ployer Is fortunate enough to secure the
services of a capable man he is not likely
to make inquiries as to that mans political
beliefs. The example thus set ought to be
good enough, even for such body as the
Senate.

ARSENIC FIENDS.
Women Who Are Slaves to the
Deadly Drug.
-he Fearful Revelations OF Druggist
Concerning the Habits Of the Vic
Tins Of tho Fatal Nerve
Tonic.

/ had often met her, this pale nymph
of the sidewalk, and oftentimes when
the electric light fell full upon her face
she had seemed SO frail and white that
nv imagination had pictured her to be
some ghostly visitant of the great city,
coming back with morbid pleasure 70
the haunts of her wretched life in the
same way as we visit places where we
have wept our bitterest tears. a
strange vigor seemed to animate that
frail form, for it sped swiftly along,
and often, when | had resolved to fol-
low it, fitted from my sight as If 1T had
dissolved into the heavy, murky atmos-
phere and become a very part OF the
great city's unwholesome breath, says
a writer in the New York Mercury.
One niglo the pale nymph suddenly
turned and entered drug store, where
/ happened TO be acquainted waited
until she had taken her leave and then
made haste to ask the clerk who she
was.
San arsenic eater" he replied in
nonchalant tone. "The name on her
prescription is Mrs. Devere,' but no
doubt that is an assumed name. She
comes once a week to renew her pre-
scription, which, by the way, bears the
signature of one of our well-known
physicians.
Eyes" continued the drug clerk with
a simulated sigh, "there are many such;
they grow whittier and whittier until L
seem to be playing the hollow mockery
of dispensing death-dealing drug to
death itself And then they don't come
any more
ing wrong to sell such a virulent poison
to this woman. Well, possibly SO, and
vet by coming to us she prolongs her
life. for if we refused to fill the prescrip-
ton she would simply have resource to
some one of the arsenical preparations
advertised in the daily papers. There
are hundreds of 'pick-rne-ups sold IN
this city which contain arsenic, and
while it is fact that this poison is
largely used in different parts of the
earth as a skin beautifer, yet that Is
not what this woman is after. She uses
it as a nerve tonic-it being one OF the
strongest known TO the medical faculty
Interested in this woman, are you?
Well, my advice to you is not olet your
imagination encircle her head with
what is called the halo of romance. She
is Just a plain arsenic eater, which
drug she probably uses to get relief
from some nervous ailment of the ma
ture of chorea or st. Vitus' dance. Il
I YOU could see her in the daytime your
pale nymph of the sidewalk would not
attract you SO strongly. Nay, | war
rant you would be repealed by her
heavy, dull eyes, her colorless lips, her
parchment-lilfe skin, her general look
of utter WEAKNESS and subdued suffer-
ing"

a ROYAL INDIAN.
The Prince of Wales Belongs to tho Mo-
hawk Tribe.

The Prince of Wales Belongs to the Mo-
hawk Tribe.
There is living in Europe middle
aged gentleman, who, many years ago,
was elected chief of the Mohawk
tribe of Indians. This gentleman, says
the New York World, not only comes
from ancestry both old and powerful,
but he is also heir apparent to one OF
the mightiest thrones in the world. He
is Albert Edward, more Familiarity
known as the prince of Wales. When
he becomes king of England he will
doubtless be called Edward VII. In
1860 he visited the United States and
Canada, and during that year occurred
his election as an Indian chief. He was
probably present at this interesting oc-
casion and perhaps an Indian name was
given to him.
The Mohawk Indians, who thus hon
ored the prince of Wales, are one of the
famous Iriquois nations, and as a ma
ton their home is now in Canada. Their
proper name is Agmegue or Gagmegue.
The celebrated Joseph Brant was a
Mohawk.

Oldest Song In the English Language
Written In 1925.


Written In 1925.
The Oldest British song, taking the
word British in it's widest acceptation,
and thus making it include Cymric and
Gaelic, might, with about equal justice,
be the Cymric battle song: sGodonin"
described by Henry Morley as 1.-THE
most important fragment of what may
represent the Oldest Cymric literature"
or the Gaelic description of the death
of Oscar at the battle of Gabhra, which
took place in 1884 A. D.
Of songs in the English language the
Oldest is "Beowolf," legendary heroic
song originally brought to this country
by the Angles and handed down from
generation to generation as the Ian
guage developed
The oldest song in the language that
has come down to us with its musical
setting is 'canon" or round" called
ssSummer Is I-cumen H." arranged
with considerable skill for six voices.
The MS. is in the Harleian library, and
the best authorities ascribe it to the
authorship of John of Fonsete, monk
of Reading abbey, who is supposed to
have written it about the year 1926.
Here is the first verse of it:

Collece Professors in spain.

The professors in the colleges OF
Spain are miserably underpaid, often re-
ceiving no more than two hundred dol
lars per year. They endeavor to make
a small profit out of their text books,
each requiring his own book to be used.
These books are frequently in manu-
script, or, if printed, are sold at unusual
prices. The students, also poor, resort
in consequence to secondhand shops
and the annual fair, where specially
is made of college text books.
