THE SOLENT'S YACHT QUEEN.

Mrs. Schenley Races Her Own Boats and
Does Not Mind a Ducking.
The most talented woman at the till
er in all England is Mrs. G. A. Schen-
ley, who not only owns numerous
yachts, but is ready for brush with a
brother yachtsman at any time. She
knows about all there is to be known
about the SPORT and when her yachts
race she takes personal command and
handles the tiller herself. She learned
the art of boat sailing from her father,
Captain J. w. Hughes, one Of the
founders of the Yacht Racing associa-
ton. Her husband is also an enthusiast
tic yachtsman and is member Of the
Royal Yacht squadron, and when the
racing season is over the couple go on a
long cruise in their big yacht, the God

Mrs. Schenley was master Of her own
craft for the first time in 1889. Her
boat bore the peculiar name Of Thief,
but it had very poor success in getting
away with plumber, despite the fact that
it was designed by the famous Watson.
Out Of 16 starts the Thief only succeed

LINEN CUSHION WITH FRILL.

silks Of absolutely fast dye, and SO can
be removed and Numbered as often as
they show soil. The darker colors, Of
which, by the way, the agra linen
shows multitude both fascinating and
tempting are treated much as silks are.
In any color the agra linens can be
bought for rs cents yard and are a.
inches wide. When to those figures is
added the fact that they wear like iron,
it is easy to understand the reason Of
their favor Their colors are so lovely
that they require little decoration. One
pillow, which is model OF taste, has q
cover Of the linen in dull old red. On
it are disks in twos, in threes and sim
ely, all of which are tinted darker
tone with dye paint and are then re-
tinted with COUGHING Of gold. 1t is all
that the most exacting need ask, yet it
is simplicity ITSELF A frill of india silk
Of the same shade finishes the edge, but
were it left plain it would be sufficient
ly decorative.
Corduroys and figured velvets and
velveteens made after the style of the
costly Morris velvets promise to be
much in vogue for the pillows of, large
size and for the library couch as we'll
as the drawing room window seat. They
are somewhat severe in style, as suits
their dignifed use, and they are strik-
ingly handsome in their rich dark tones.
One shown was quite ~ inches square,
filled with fine feathers and covered
with figured corduroy in shades Of tan
and brown. The very fact that the fig
ures are woven in place of embroidered,
and that it is absolutely simple and
plain, makes it conspicuous, and it is so
strong and sturdy that it seems in it's
very self to assure you of rest and COM
fort.
Down is quite the favorite it has been,
but is relegated to pillows of small size.
The larger ones, that are supposed to
support weary back or make comfort
able a wooden backed chair, are filled
with feathers, and SO are more substan-
tial than would be the down. The soft
er, more yielding material is reserved
for head rests and for the small pillows
that fit in so we'll under the neck and
look SO tempting piled on top Of the
larger ones.
A really perfect equipment includes
all sorts, but in default of that hair,
feathers and down can be used to good
purpose. Cotton chintz, art muslin,
linen and denim are the best fabrics fol
the bedroom couch, and many Of them
require no decoration beyond that of the
ample frill. A new fad is that Of couch
ing upon denim somewhat elaborate
pattern not unlike those of the old fash

makes handsome cover, with compare

been located, at whose back was Jim
Guyon, sudden swoop has been made and
all but him captured.
One trusted and experienced secret serv-
Ice agent received the solemn injunction
from his dying father to capture Jim
Guyon dead or alive. The father had de-
voted years to the work, but in vain, and
the son, with painstaking care, has fol-
lowed up his prey, but without success.
Another agent Of the secret service, Donel-
Ia by name, has hole in his ear, mado
by a bullet from the pistol of Jim Guyon
as he fed over Ohio fields only four years
ago. He would dearly love to pay back
that injury with interest, but Guyon has
escaped him.
Guyon is not alone counterfeiter. He
is an organizer of counterfeiters. In putting
up a job against the treasury he proceeds
with marvellous cunning. He it is who
finds tho engraver and sets him at his
work, who procures the paper, who works
the press and who finally supervises the
dangerous operation of SHOWING tho

TO do this money is needed-good money
and Guyon always finds it.
Guyon has organized many gangs OF

agents have as often run them to earth
and captured the members, with the ex-
ception of tho leader, who is slippery
customer indeed. But they have never
been successful in capturing the plate OF
the "Webster hea.l' $40 bill, which has
been in Guyon's possession for dozen
years. This is very dangerous counter
felt, and thousands of dollars worth have
been circulated. Many thousands, too,
have been expended by the secret service
agents in trying to get hold of the plate.
They wero sorely disappointed when they
found it was missing from the outfit cap
tured at Bethel. The original counterfeit
of the ''Wesbter head'' made its first ap-
pearanco in 1870 ct Moberly, Mo-, and it
has turned up since then at intervals Ut
three or four years in different parts Of the
country.
Guyon is about As years old, feet III
height, weighing about $50 pounds, with
dark brown hair and high check bones.

subsequently told her neighbors. She
was a constant reader Of DR.. Talmage's
sermons and called upon Mrs. Talmage,
who treated her kindly, advised her to
go to hospital and occasionally called

Miss Lord lived in a very misery

said, rather than spend money for food.
Her eating utensils were broken knife

box served in lieu of a table. Not long
ago she became i'll and was attended by
the Talmage family physician. She died
a short time ago, and it was then learned
that she had willed Mrs. Talmage her

Cheap Things and Cheap Times.
All, but they say we get things little
cheaper. Is there anybody in this country
who wants things any cheaper than they
are nowi Does the farmer want less price

his sheep, or his stocks Are not prices
low enough, farmers of minnesota Does
the merchant want the prices of the
articles he sells reduced in price? Does
the workingman want less wages? Who
wants these cheap things!
My fellow citizens, nothing is cheap
that comes from abroad to the American
people. [Applause.] No product of agri-
oulture is cheap from abroad if it leaves
the American product to rot in the
ground. No manufactured article is
cheap to this country if it takes from the
workingmen of this country days labor.
And the old men in this audience, if they
will let memory sweep back, will recall
that when things are the cheapest men
are the poorest. And when the prices of
