NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Ex.Speaker

per men as soon as the steamer
New York, Of which he was passen-
ger, arrived at her dock. On the
silver question he was not dis
posed to speak and would not COM
NIT himself on financial subjects,
further than to say that English
capitalists are fast buying up

Red-Flag Hardie Talks.

CHICAGO, Sept. u. Keir Har-
die, the English socialist, adj
dressed an audience last night in
Twelfth street Turner Hall. He
urged his hearers to follow the
socialistic doctrines, but con-
demned anarchy as a thing separ-
ate and apart from socialism
proper. He urged that the red
flag be used and said: "Ifa dozen
staunch Chicagoans should fly the
red banner, raise the standard and
stand by it, it is my belief that all
that is worth having in this city
would flock around it,"
In other parts of his speech, he
vigorously urged his audiences to
follow the red flag.

prepared for a fresh start. The
yachts crossed the line, unoficially
timed, as follows:
Valkyrie L :20.O5; Defender 49,
POOL. The wind at the start was
about east, blowing at a rate Of
about four miles per hour; the sky
was cloudy and there was a sea
running. Just previous to the start
the Defender slipped in between
the judges boat and Valkyrie on
the latter's weather quarter and
both yachts went across on the
starboard tack unoer mainsails,
club topsail, topsail jibs and
baby jibs. Although the Defender
was slightly to windward in cross.
ing, the Valkyrie soon began to
draw away and at 1927 she had a
lead Of about 20 yards on the De-
fender and appeared to be gaining
constantly although the two yachts
had to pick their way through
the excursion fleet, which ham,
pered their movements badly; in
fact the captains Of excursion
steamers lever interfered so badly
with the movements Of yachts as
they did at the start today,

sky was cloudy with an occasional
sunburst and slight indication of a
freshening breeze. Early as the AS
ISOLATED Press tug had started for
the Hook there were many other
crafts on the way steaming and
putting down toward the old
Lightship of Bay Ridge.
Shortly after eight o'clock the
weather cleared somewhat and the
breeze increased in strength. Both
yachts had been actively preparing
for the race since their crews left
the tenders after breakfast and at
$3.50 the Defender started of for
the hook in tow Of tugs. The VAL

but members Of her crew were all
busy as bees on board. The
weather at this hour was far from
being satisfactory to the yachts.
men and is looked upon as being
unfavorable to the Valkyrie's
chance it being the general opinion
that she would not show up well
in the ground swell and light air
which then seemed to be the out
look for the race. .
The,,Vslkyrie passed outside the
Hook at $3.50 and as she did 80 she
broke out her jib. Defender fol-
lowed suit a minute later. Both
yachts at 9:45 a. m. were about a
third OF the way out to Scotland

sail and jib. From this point 1t
looks as II the Defenders mainsail
is much larger than the V~alkyrie's.
The Defender at ii 10 cast loose

Fake Football Committee.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept. t.
Walter Camp said in regard to the
report that he was one of the Yale
committee to meet the Harvard
advisory committee and plan for a
football reconciliation: "There is
no such committee, so far as 1
know. L firmly believe that Yale
and Harvard can play football this
fall if they wish, but l know of no
direct movement on foot for Yale
and Harvard to meet to settle their
differences"
Mr. Camp added that he knew
nothing of the alleged attempt to
arrange for a Yale-O oxford or Yale
Cambridge ace in England next
spring.

RAILWAY CIVIL SERVICE.

Trainmen Examined-Old Engineers
Who Cannot Read or Write.
NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Civil ser
vice rules were recently adopted
by the New York Central and Hud-
son River railroad to improve the
standing Of the trainmen employed
on the road, and for some weeks
past an examining board has been
engaged examining conductors,
brakemen, engineers and firemen
as to their qualifications. The ex-
animation has resulted in the dis
covery that five engineers on the
Mohawk division of the road can
not read or write. They are old
men, and have been connected
with the road for many years. They
were considered competent engin.
eers and 1t was q great surprise to
the officers of the company when
the fact became known. On &C.
count Of their long and faithful
service on the road a concession
has been made for their benefit. A
year is to be given them in which
to learn to read and write. II they
r able to do that at the end Of the
year they will be retained, other
wise they will probably be dis
missed. The company's officials
say that reading and writing are
absolutely necessary with the en-
gineers as they have to be able to
understand a train order issued
by the train dispatcher. Hereto
fore those engineers who can
neither read or write have depend
ed on the fireman to read their or
ders.

To be quite up to date. the summer girl
must supply herself with sailor hats ga
lore. She must have black one, and a
navy blue one, and a white one. The black
one is to be worn with her black suit, which
waist. collar and cuffs, and a bright band
on her hat The navy blue goes with the
blue suit, which may be tricked out with
white anchors, tattooed with embroidery
needle in white silk all around the foot and
on the collar and sleeves, and the white
one is to wear when she means to look
killingly angelic in white serge, white
shoes and white gloves, with a flaming
scarlet shirt or perhaps she will carry out
the color scheme in white silk shirt waist
with lot of lace frills
Then there are the hat bands. You have
bands cost hat band from each beau Is
the regulation, but sometimes n girl can
get two or more from each. She has
yellow and black one to wear when she
goes out with her Princetonian, and hides
1t for dark blue one when her Yale best
fellow puts in an appearance. She can
easily slip that off when she goes out rid
ing with her Columbia catch, and dons
white and light blue, and SO it goes on
through the gamut Of color combinati tons.
These hat bands cost pretty penny, too,
A fellow can't we'll turn deaf ear when
his best girl says that his college colors are
just too lovely for anything, and, of course,
he takes off the band and hands it over to
her. Then he has to present her with a
slide or buckle, and he wouldn't dare to
give anything in base metal Then a
college pin has usually TO follow the hat
band, SO, taking it altogether, the college
man is catching it all around.

American Energy.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Every disaster or calamity that comes
upon communities in this country serves
to illustrate the marvellous energy and
perseverance of the American people, and
the story of the rebuilding of the little
city of Phillips in Wisconsin is only one
of many cases in point.
On July "a, 1894, Phillips was completely
wrecked by fire, the people were hungry
and without shelter, and were largely de-
pendent upon the gifts of outside COM
munities for food and clothing There was
not an industrial building left standing,
and although there were logs to be had in
the surrounding country there were no
sawmills left to transform them into build
ing lumber. The forest fires had devas-
tated the fields as we'll as the city, and
the farmers in the neighborhood were with
out seed for the next crop. But every
body went heart and soul into the work
of reconstruction. Adversely did not dis
may them, and they were encouraged by
the generosity Of the outside world.
On last Saturday. just one year from
the DAY on which their homes were smold-
ering ruins, the people celebrated the COM
plete restoration of their city. Churches,
school houses. stores, homes, sawmills, tan
neries and barns have been rebuilt, and
what was before a collection of inflam-
matle frame buildings Is now one of brick
ana stone.
The spirit of the pioneers who blazed out
a path for progress still lives, and it would
be hard to measure the future of such q
country and such people.
