tiOus Youth.
A gentleman i'll Baltimore has re-
ceived letter from friend, telling
how young man without political in
auence obtained an appointment as q
naval cadet from the president. The in
cident illustrates the manly way Presi-
dent Cleveland has Of fappreciating man
illness i'll others. It also shows that the
president, although always busy with
the affairs of state, can still find time
to interest himself in and sympathize
with young men and help them to
realizo their ambitions when it lies
within his power. The father Of the
young man who received the appoint
ment from the president was chief
engineer in the navy and had an excel
lent record BE is now dead. Two Of
the fathers brothers were in the Con-
federate service. Here is the young
mans own account of how he got the
appointment:
"After failing to get political influ-
cnce to help me secure an appointment
as 4 naval cadet determined to 20 to
the president myself and personally lay
my case before him. All my friends,
with one exception, my teacher, Mr..
Blackburn Of Alexandria, smiled ut this
plan. He gave me letter 10 Mr.. Cleve-
land went to the White House four
times before got into his Office. The
crowds waiting to see him can only be
imagined. Finally my name was called,
and entered with about so office seek
Crs.
Gas soon as possible I made my way
to Mr.. Cleveland and told him my name
and business. told him that had no
political influence, and that I only had
four letters from old friends of my
father, and one other from friend of
my own. Mr.. Cleveland took the let
tiers, put his hand on my shoulder in a
fatherly way and said, Young man,
am told that have no more appoint
ments for this year, but I will do all
can for you. He also said he would see
that my papers We're filed if I would
leave them with him. Ny heart was too
full Of gratitude for words, but l. took
his big hand and squeezed it with both
of mine.
"six months passed, and received
an alternate's appointment from the
president. This did me no good, as my
principal passed the examination and
was enrolled. l again applied to the
president, this time by letter, and his
secretary replied, saying that Mr.. Cleve-
land would do what hecould. That was
last fall III March received, my ap-
pointment. There never was SO happy a
boy as I was when received that ap-
pointment. Sixty-eight boys took the
examination, and 81 or Ss passed.
was seventh OH the list and one of the
Is who passed Oh the first examination.
'"The president understood my posi-
tion and helped u poor boy. I have no
politician to thank, but have written to
Mr.. Cleveland, not, however, being able
TO tell him what feel for him."
The young man is 18 years old and
was born in Norfolk. Baltimore Sun.

sPRucEl w THE CHALLENGER
An International Yacht Race That VIII
C,.rse Much Coed Sport.

C,.t:se Much Coed Sport.
There are to be two international
yacht races this year. The majority of
people, even of those interested in yacht
ing, seem to be totally oblivious of this
fact. Tho public is so absorbed in the
coming races between Defender and Val
kyrie TINT it hasn't time to bother with
the little mite of q Britisher Spruce "
and the equally tiny American boats that
will contest some time in September
for the Seawanhaka- Corinthian Yacht
clubs international challenge cup for
small raters.
From more than one point of view
the coming over seas of j. Arthur
Brand, the challenger for the Seawan-
haka cup, is a visit of vital importance
to yacltsmen. The race itself will be
marked by many features utterly absent
from the America's cup contests. 1t will
bo true blue Corinthian sport to start
with-onc man to run ono boat, and he
AL amateur in tho best and highest sense
Of tho word. Money spent III construc-
tion will play second fiddle to seaman
ship, and more outlay of money will
hardly suffice to turn out 81 winner in q
class of boats for Il single one of which
$1,000 is about the limit of expenditure.
AS q training for nerves, hand, eye
and all the qualities that go to make IL
man an all around skillful boat sailer,
there is nothing to equal the handling
Of the small ratcrs, while the fun to he
obtained out of them is enormous and
the cost comparatively little. = New

the trip. The party is making tour
o. the world. The vessel started from
New London, Conn, on October -,
1894. The first port touched at was
Fayal, Azore Islands; from there the
aYacht proceeded to ports on the
-ench coast and, after touching at
ssnIes and DTe=sina, Port Said was
4 cached. The yacht steamed through
Il Suez canal and in the course of
time stops were made at Penang, Sin
gapore, Borneo, Manila, Hongkong,
Canton, Annoy, Shanghai, Nagasaki,
Kobe, and finally Yokohama was
reached.
Stops were made at many places OF
interest to allow DEr. Slater and his
party time for sightseeing. While
the yacht was at Singapore they
called on the late Sultan of lahore,
who in turn paid visit and had
lunch on board.
The Eleanor will remain in port for
about one week and then she will
leave for Hilo, as Mr.. Slater is anxious
to see the volcano. San francisco Is
expected to be reached about the goth
inst. and, after a brief stay there, the
yacht will 60 as far north as Sitka,
returning to San Francisco about the
2lst of October. Mr. Slater expects to
reach New London, the starting point,
about the first of May, 1896.
Mr.. SIater's home is IN y Norwich,
Conn. He is a member of the New
York Yacht Club. His yacht flies the
flag of the club mentioned.
The Eleanor is a splendid specimen
| of marine architecture, and Is built
| entirely OF American material. She
was built by the Bath Iron Works,
/ and was launched in May, 1894. She
was designed by Naval Architect
| Charles r. Hanscom. The vessel Is

Now in Use ON well-Conducted Dairy
Farm In Ohio.
During recent visit to the home and
farm of Mr.. A. w. Evans, some very
interesting facts came up, well worthy
of mention. He is a common, practical
farmer, but an air of thrift seems to
pervade all the surroundings and eff
forts of this worthy Quaker and his
wife.
A splendid herd of Jerseys that av-
erage in test "a at the neighboring
creamery, headed by first-class, pure
bred st. Lambert bull, were ruminat-
ing lazily over the fields. A brand new
silo, filed just recently, stood like a
tall sentinel against the cow barn, as
manifesto that dairying had come to
stay at that home. He was in the ice
house, still containing plenty of ice for
use in preserving the milk over two
days, thus saving trip to the cream
cry except every other day, the dis
lance being considerable. A well-bal-
anced ration of the best grains is fed
to these cows the year round, and to q
very good profit, too.
My eye was attracted by a low
wheeled truck, constructed from four
wheels Of two old moving machines,
