OUR FLAG IS THERE.

Three cheers for the American boat
builder! Three cheers for the great
American yacht Vigilant, which showed
her stern TO the gallant Valkyrie in all
her races for the Americas Cup!
When Englishmen have been compelled
20 Yield to American yachts in contest
after contest. the cry Of the Britishcrs
has always been, "Ah. but look at sea-
going qualities. don't-cher-know! Where
would these Yankee shells be out at
sea?"
Well, the good yacht Vigilant cut her
graceful way through British waters
we 'terday. having reached the Irish coast
Just fourteen days. thirteen hours and
forty-four minutes after her departure
from Sandy Hook, doing the voyage In
shorter time tina any sloop yacht that
ever before crossed the Atlantic and beat
ing the Valkyrie's time over the same
course.
The Vigllant Is expected to be ready
for the first of the clyde regattas in
July, and 1t Is given out that the owners,
the Gould boys. win do their best to win,
and Will not toady to Britannia, as Il
Is said some English boats do. Why, of
course not. They will beat the Prince of
Wales II they can, that Is sure. They
Will have to do their best to win, anyway.

NEWS FROM THE AnsENT.

Mr.. Richard Croker has arrived in
Queenstown. Everybody will rejoice to
hear that his first words to an Associ-
ated Press reporter confirmed that as
sertion of his friends on this side Of
the Atlantic. that he will be glad to give
the Lexow Committee any assistance In
his power, should they desire 1t. This,
OF course. means that he Will be ready
to retur voluntarily as u witness, should
he be wanted by the Committee.
1t IL to be hoped hat the Committee
will send Mr.. Croker a polite invitation

for the money raised by the police and

CATION without the e~x-leaders testi-
mony seems like the play of Hamlet

OF course everybody knows, as Mr..
Croker claims, that he Is 'out of poll
tics now" and holds no public position.
But the event being inquired into oc-
CURED when Mr.. Croke was very much
In politics and occupied n prominent
public position.
Mr.. Croker, with characteristic mod
esty. says that he LETT New York sud

cause ''he did not suppose the public
attaches any interest to his move

attach n very great deal of interest to
Mr.. Croker's movements. and would
have been delighted to have heard from
his lips Il history of how he accumu-
lated his Aladdin-like fortune, what
he knows OF Tammany methods In gen
erai and the police doings in particular.
Mr.. Croker's innate diffidence makes
him of the interest taken In
him by his fel!ow-citizens. who Were
asst onished and grieved at his fitting.

PUSH ON!

The Lexow Investigating Committee
made a dip into Bohemia yesterday and
elected the fact that the uptown east
side Bohemian saloon-keepers had
formed an association for the protection
Of its members in their business, and
especially TO enable them to do a Sun
day business without getting into trou-
BILE. Their operations were on n very
limited scale, because they are poor. and
they make rather an insignificant show
ing by the side OF the grander scale on
which business Is conducted in the Ten,
derloin precinct.
Is II not about time hat the Commit.
tee should call TO the stand some OF the
notorious owners OF the gllded lens OF
vice In the Tenderloin precinct and IN
uptown districts, and some OF the mer
who are known to have run gambline
houses in the city for years. and to be-
running them to-day?

Celery.

Very few persons think of serving cell

should be served in other forms. From
the stalks and leaves, which are not de-
sirable for serving raw a cream-of-celery
soup may be prepared. Any cook book
will give directions. though It will not
say It may be mad from these pieces
but 1t can, as experience has taught me.

And fret and ponder tn the aching brain
Believes the tender passion but a pain3
Or list to think all beauty In one eye
Is centred, and that brightest chances lie
Therein. or that upon one smiling face
Dweils sweetest loveliness that perfect grac,
Belongs to only one beneath the sky?
Or ist too long to fold within the arms

Whose very touch doth set the soul on fire.
