A Yacht Goes to the Bottom
Of Lake George.
Twenty-Five Passengers on the
Ill-Fated Craft.
They We're Excursionists Returning
from Ball.
Nine Found Watery Graves without q

An Incompetent Pilot
Responsible.

BY the Associated Press.
LAKE GEORGE, N. Y, Aug. 4.-The
yacht Rachel sank last night with 20
passengers on board. Such was the
startling news that went ringing through
Lake George early this morning, and to
it was added the information that nine
bad been drowned and 20 saved. The
steamer was chartered by party from
the Fourteen Mile leland hotel to go to
the Hundred Mile Island house, where
dance was in progress. The regular
pilot was i'll and his substitute was not
an experienced pilot, although familiar
with that part of the lake. where he
had been employed two seasons. The
night was very dark and plotting was
unsafe, except when aided by the
trained eye OF a welI-informed boatman.
The steamer got too far off the channel
when going past the old piers, and stove
large hole in the bottom of the boat,
which sank quickly.
The ladies on board were laughing
and singing. Instantaneouely the scene
was changed and the boat sank 30 rap
idly that no time was given the nl-fated
pleasure seekers to utter prayer. Some
of the passengers were caught under
deck and died quickly. 1t seemed hours
before help arrived, though dozen men
we're on the water in row boats almost
before the smoke-stack of the Rachel
sank from sight.
The names of those drowned follow:
Miss Ovitt. Miss Burke, Miss Hall, Miss
Worden. Mrs. Mitchell and son and an
unknown lady. All the above were
from Troy, Brooklyn and Hoboken. 1t
is said the party was composed mostly
of New York and Brooklyn excursion

THE STATE TAX LEVY.

How the Deficiency OF ssSO,000 wa.
Brought About.
SACRAMENTO, Aug. At having been
stated that deficiency Of $3.50, 900 was
caused by the tax levy being less thar
the appropriations made by the legisla
ture. Deputy State Controller Douglass
makes the statement that this is enor.
NOUS. He says the deficiency was
caused by large appropriations which
were made Immediately availa'
bic. The Legislature cost 5000, 900
and coyote claims amount tc
5000 900 more, which was not provided
for by the last tax levy. The INDECENT
claims of the several counties we're also
unexpected, as they had never been
presented before. He states that the
deficiency will be felt next year and the
year after more than this, aud had the
tax for the past two years been levied
for the full limit there would have been
a large balance.

when CONGRESS MEETS,
Bland Will Introduce a Sill
YER Bill.
It Will Provide for Free
Coinage.
The White Metal Men Will Fight
It Out ON That Line.
Various Plans Proposed for tho ssttls-
ment Of the silver Questionable
Special Session : Polit-
ical Gossip.

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. As coon after
congress meets as it becomes practi-
cable, Bland. leader of the silver forces
OF the house, will introduce bill en-
bodylng the views Of the silver men.
1t will provide for the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchasing act and SUBJ
stitute therefor free coinage Of silver at
the present ratio of 16 to L. "That"
said Bland. Twill be the ground work
upon which we will make fight, although
there has been no definite plan agreed
upon." ea
He recognized that men could honest
ly differ as to the ratio, but that was q
matter that should be settled in the
party ITSELF Upon the use Of both gold
and silver az money at parity, the
Democratic party could not differ. II a
compromise measure increasing the
ratio was reached, he said, he saw no
reason why the present dollar should
not be kept in circulation as 1t is now.
He proposed, however, with all his
power to resist any increase In ratio.
Representative Henderson of North
Carolina has plan for the adjustment
of the silver question that he hold out
to be satisfactory to persons who wish
to see the Democratic platform declara-
tions carried into effect without creating
divisions In the party. This might be
accomplished, he thinks, by passing q
bill requiring the absolute purchase Of
a certain proportion OF each metal each
month, and the coinage of the metal
purchased. Congress might from time
to time change these proportions as the
needs OF the country seemed to require,
and thus adihst the circulation to the
demands. .ss ssssS
Dockery OF Missouri, leading mem.
ber OF the committee on appropriations,
tonight planted himself squarely upon
the Democratic platform and said he
proposeu TO be guided by that docu-
ment. He was, he said, an advocate of
the double standard and paper money
convertible into eithar gold af liver.
Savers OF Texas. also member OF the
appropriations committee, said the con-
ditional repealof the Sherman law was
what the people wanted, and all that
congress would give. He favored free
coinage at ratio agreed upon by the
party.

Crisp WIN Mako Appointments to Suit
Clevslsnd's Wishes.
New York, Aug. A. The Worlds
Washington special says: Speaker Crisp
authorizes the statement that there is
no basis whatever for any one Of the
many reports circulated regarding the
appointment of the chairmen of COM
mittees. He has not yet decided upon
a single appointment and will not for
several days, certainly not before the ar
rival of the president and Secretary
Carlisle, probably not until the caucus
shall have officially designated him as
its candidate for speaker. He
does not expect to announce the
committees until eight or ten days after
the organization Monday. He may
make an exception of the committee on
coinage, but has reached no such deter
mination yet. The speakers sole aim is
to do only that which will be of the
greatest service to the party, which
means cooperation with the admins
tration. The truth is that all depends
upon the tone of the presidents message.
If Cleveland shall conGne his recon-
mendations strictly to the repeal OF the
Sherman act, with no subsequent legis-
lation in the direction of bimetallism, it
might be considered not unwise
to pit Cochran against the redoubtable
Bland, in which event Cochran would
leave the ways and means committee to
become chairman of the coinage COM
mittee. If, on the other hand, the
president should deem more pacific
policy advisable. it might be considered
wise to permit Bland to retain his posi-
tion, if he should care to do 40 despite
the opposing majority in his committee.
AS the composition Of the ways and
means committee will be affected by that
Of the coinage committee, especially with
reference to Cochran, it is easy to see
the reasons for the statement made
above, viz. that all depends upon the
Presidents policy as outlined in his
message.

JACKSON, CAL, Aug. 4.-Frank Rocks
and wife were arrested Tuesday by
Sheriff Gregory at their home near
Commanche. Calaveras county, and
landed in Jail here Wednesday, charged
with being accessories to the murder
of Tovey. Evans, the confessed mur-
derer, is still in San Andreas. Evans'
pipe, which he lost in his fight after the
murder, was picked up about mile
from the scene of The shooting. The
officers are reticent in regard to the
confession, so that few particulars can
be ATTAINED. 1t is reported that Evans
refuses to divulge the whereabouts OF
the rife with which he did his fatal
work. He is said to be weak-minded
individual, and it is matter OF general
surprise that one of his calibre should
play the bold highwayman.

A Poetess Visits the STANDARD Office.

A Poetess Visits the Standard Office.
She was very pretty. The sun of some
nineteen summers had shown upon her
neatly banged head and a sweet smile
rippled from her dainty looking mouth,
She skipped into the Office and the first
one she met was Charley, whom she ad-
dressed in a sweet voice, saying:
Dear sir, are you poet ~
Charlie looked a little scared but ans
wered. '1No ma'am. I'm Methodist.
She then turned to Jim and asked him
the same question, but Jim assured her
that be was not guilty.
She then asked Us if we were poet,
but we quickly informed her that we never
wrote a line of poetry in our life.
''But I've seen some very fine poetry IN
the Standard, she replied.
yes" we answered, ''but that was
written by our regular poet, Ben Steel. =
''Where can see Mr.. Steel 2" she anx-
iously inquired.
Just then we saw Ben coming across the
street from Ed. McGrew's music store,
where he had been trying to trade some
dead letters for a mouth organ. We mo-
toned him to come in, and told her who
he was. She drew a package of manu-
script, neatly tied with a blue ribbon,
from her pocket, and drawing her chair
closer to Ben's, thus began:

How to Obtain Long Life.

Take life easy. Nothing prolongs life
like cheerful disposition.
Make haste slowly. The snail outran
the hare and won the race.
Avoid all worry. Care wrinkles the
brow and dries up the fountain of life.
Don't get angry. Every burst fpassion
shortens life's span one inch.
Be moderate in all things and temperate
in your habits Remember "sleep is ma
ture's kind rcstorer," and if you would live
long, sleep long.
Above all take care of yourself If you
are not feeling we'll there is something
wrong and nature needs to be stimulated
in her work. The best physicians in the
country recommend Kloin's Silver Age
and Duquense Rye for such a purpose.
They are for sale by dealers generally at
$l 50 and 1925 per quart respectively. Send
