One OF the most pathetic incidents in the
life OF the great English critic and humor-
ist. Charles Lamb. was his lifelong deyo-
tion 20 his sister, who was q splendid and
gifted woman subject to Fl . of periodical
insanity. Lamb was an accountant in the
India house when his sister was first at
tackled by the mslady; he was about to
get married. but learning tina. his sisters
maiady was intermittent, he determined
that In her lucid intervals she should have
the tenderest care, so he eonsecrated his
whole life to the care of this sister. When
ever the time for one of her periodic al
tacks approached Lamb might be seen
leading his sister over the fields to the
asylum, and when the attack was over
he brought her back, ne devoted hi. lie

Americans.

SOUTHAMPTON. Eng, August 2l.-The
Vigilant is still in the tidal dock here and
further examinations of her centerboard
It's trunk and the yachts keel will be made
today.
LONDON, August 21.-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon, referring to the
Vigilant's mishap with her centerboard
says: The excitement and mystery In
yachting circles is simmering down to a
general feeling which can hardly be pro-
nounced friendly to our American visitors"
The Times says that the Satanita will
defend the Cape May cup against the
Vigilant. The race for the cup will take
place on September .. Until that time the
Nigilant will not engage in any race.
Pilot Diaper of the Vigilant, who was
sent by Mr.. Gould to explain to the the
sailing committee of the Royal Yacht
squadron the nature of the accident to the
Nigilant on Saturday, informed the commit
tee that the Vigilant struck twice on Goose
Rock, outside the Needles, and that he was
ignorant till then that the centerboard had
dropped deep down.

gin, at Glyndon, near Baltimore on the
Western Maryland railroad, a meeting which
is to last for ten days. The program pre-

of the Salvation Army work in the states
named, promises interesting features for
every day, eliminating in the visit of Com
mander and Mrs. Darlington Booth the
leaders of the Salvation Army in America
VINO are to take charge of all the meeting
on Sunday, September .. Commander and
Mrs. Booth have been disappointed in not
being able to get to Washington so far this
year, and hope that Washington will now
come to them. They have become more and
more interesting as speakers. so that they
are now eagerly welcomed wherever they
go. Last year thousands of people went Ia
the Giyndon camp meeting just to hear
Commander Booth and doubtless there will
be many more who will go this year mas
much as his wife will be able to he with
him. Besides them there will be a number
or prominent officers from Headquarters in
New York and all the officers of the south
ern district, including of course Cant
Kemp and Lieut.. Russell. who are now in
charge of the Washington corps The meet
lESs here Will not, however, be interrlIpted
but will go right on nightly at the Salvation
