RHODE ISLAND YACHT CLUB.
Proposition to Advance the Fees and
Dues Considered.

special meeting OF the Rhode Island
Yacht Club was held last evening in
room b, Narragansett Hotel, President
+. Howard Wright in the chair. The meet
ing was called specifically TO consider the
finances for 1895 in view of the demands
on the club for extraordinary eXpendi'
lures, the ief of which is made imper-
ative by the necessity for rebuilding en-
tirely of the long bridge that connects
the club house with the shore. This work
will require an appropriation in the neigh
borhoodof $500. The question took the
form of a proposition TO increase the in
itiation fee and annual dues Of club mem
bership from 20 TO $40 each, respectively,
and his proposition was favora blyreceived
by an informal vote OF 3S to 8, and LAID
on the ia Bile, according to form, for TAX
ing up at a subsequent meeting as an
amendment to the constitution.
1t appears from the statements OF the
officers that this big yacht club has al
ways been in receipt of ample funds for
li6erality in running expenses, bat, de,
spite large mem bership, from fees and
dues of only IS has been unable TO keep
much ahead for rainy day or 10 lay
up much of a sinking fund TO cover de-
probation in its splendid property. Its
plant, including the club house, bridge,
floats, Potter's cove property and privi-
leges of valuation OF perhaps 10000
has been almost entirely established dur
ing the ten years OF the clubs exist
ence by voluntary contributions of en-
thusiastic members and outside expedi-
ents for raising funds. The condition
of the bridge, the piling OF which has
been destroyed by the ravages of worms.
Is responsible for the consideraii Jon of
some scheme for running the CLUB on a
more independent and business-!ike ba-
sis, and it is thought there will be little
objection to raising the dues from the
present small sum demanded.

READY FOR YALE.
Brown Football Players Prepared to
Make Opponents Hustle.

All preparations are being made at Ao-
elaide Park for the big Yale-Brown game
to be played at 3 O'Clock on Saturday
afternoon. A large grand stand has been
erected which will accommodate nearly
100 spectators, and every precaution has
been arranged by Manager Murdock TO
make the affair success.
Brown met Yale al New Haven on Oc-
tober ana succeeded in holding them
down TO four points, and the general feel
ing on the campus Is that the home team
will make Old Eli's sons hustle to win.
Another soucre OF comfort and encourage
ment is the fact that news from a reliable
source in New Haven says that the Yale
men are disheartened at the showing
OF their team.
The lamentable lack of snap and team
work in the Brown line, noticeable early
in the season, has~passed away and Coach
Moyle. has gradually rounded the boys
into shape
Today and tomorrow the boys will par
ticipate in light practice on Adelaide
field and when the men line up on Sat-
urdsy IL IL expected that they will be
limbered up and in good condition TO
play. Mott, who has been resting for
few days on account OF a lame shoulder,
will fiji his 5Sa place at tackle.
Murphy,s hand has improved enough
to enable him to play.
Brown is gradually getting into form
for the big game tomorrow The men
are naturally tagged out after playing
two games this week and the light prsc-
tice OF yesterday and today has done
them deal OF good In limbering up their
muscles and giving them much needed
rest.
A new set OF signals have been arranged
and were used yesterday.
There seems TO be conflicting reports
regard pg the condition of the Yale team.
Ose Is that the men are totally out OF
form and another that they are in the
punk OF condition. 1t Is Impossible to
say which Is correct, but it is evident
that the supporters of the home team
believe in the former. for they are ex-
changing good deal OF money on bets
that Brown will score. Three times in
the Yale-Brown game played on Oct. 20
did Brown succeed In carrying the ball
within Yale's yard line. but was unable
TO force ii over. However. the men
feel confident that should 1t be carried to
Yale's i0-yard line in the coming game,
that Brown will score.
The probable lineup will bo:

A TIE VOTE.
The Kentucky Legislature is
Evenly Divided.
Election of Senator Blackburn IS a
Matter of Conjecture.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. s. The Even
ing Post says that the General Assembly
OF Kentucky will be tie when IT meets,
and the election OF a successor to Senator
Black burn is a matter of conjecture, the
Democrats having 6s votes and one Dem
ocratic-P -Populist vote, making total OF
60. The Republicans will have 6S and
one Repubiican-All AllIance, making total
OF 90. The Repu blicans claim that the
Lieutenant Governor. Worthington, viii
have the decisive vote, thus insuring
them the senatorship. This is held to be
an error by the Democrats, who contend
that the Lieutenant Governor, as presiding
officer Of the Senate, cannot vote in joint
ballot.

THURMAN FELL.
The Old Senator May Not
Recover.
He Injured His Hin and Re-
ceived a Severe Shock.
Was Vice-Presidential Candidate
Member of Electoral Commission.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 8. On Friday eve-
ming last Judge Allan q. Thurman had a
fall which resulted in serious injury TO
his hip. No bones being broken and his
constitution being so wonderfully strong,
IL was believed that he would soon regain
his accustomed health. The effect of the
nervous shock soon appeared TO have
passed away and Tuesday and Wednesday
he had improved so much that his ply
sicians and friends thought he would un-
doubtedly get mp aagin in a short time.
Yesterday, however, a severe relapse &C.
Cured and there Is today but little hope
that he can recover. His vigorous consti-
tuition may yet pull him through, but
the chances are all against him. This in
formation comes from members OF the
family.
Mr.. Thurman was alone in his parlor
when he fell. He thought he was strong
enough to walk to the library and back
to his chair. In returning to his chair
he fell.

NO CANDIDATE ENDORSED.
Hebrew Independent Club Meets Again
But Transacts No Business.

There Is more political talk in that
section OF the city between Smith and
Ashburton streets these days than there
ever was before.
There is a strong effort being made TO
get the Hebrew voters residing in the
territory named, TO pledge themselves
to aid ia the "reform of the city govern
ment" by voting for the Democratic can
didste for Mayor. Two factors have fig
ured in these discussions, however, for
the younger element among their class OF
voters Is nearly all aggressively Ropubli-
can. s
The Hebrew Independent.Club,a an sc-
count of whose meeting of Sunday last
was published in The NEWS Monday,
held another meeting last evening in
Montetiore hall, 93 North Main street.
There were great many speeches by the
embers of the club, in fact the argG-
ments were so long thar the organization
did not have time to tai1e any vote on
the candidate the members should OFF,
cialiy support for Mayor. The gathering,
however, lasted until go o clock and
resolution was passed condem ming bood-
lers.
1t might be mentioned that two men
who are working hard for the election
OF Mr.. McGufnffess Thought tire -cttfb
could be easily captured by them, but
they found TO their sorrow that the mem
bers had no use for them.
The club voted to have no leaders nor
does it want any for the other Hebrew
voters. For tnis reason IL has never elect
ed a permanent president, but all busi-
ness connected with the club has TO have
the signatures OF Secretary Rubin and seal
holder Samuel Cohen.
Another meeting OF the organization
will be held in the same hall Sunday
evening at 1880 O'Clock. The club has not
a very large mem bership, and its infiu-
ence, 1t is claimed, will be very limited.

Tom s Sermon.

Tom belonged to that ubiquitous popula-
ton known as the New York newsboys
He was angular, ugly featured, ard rcd
headed. He bore an air Of serious EOlem-
nifty which had CARED him the sobriguet
OF 'parBon." He was alert ard bright,
and had a quaint manner of speech.
Good-hearted and generous 10 a marked
degree, he was liked by all classes OF boys
He had many friends and did well in
his trade
He was inrocent-"green." The BOYS
made him target for their Jokes but Tom
did not care. He remembered one thing the
other boys had never Known or forgotten.
He remembered his mother-and Toms
mother had been q good woman. She died
when he was quite young, but he had never
forgotten her.
Through a long and painful illness, in
which she battied with poverty and pain,
Tom acted a trinity OF nurse, proyider, and
physician.
His mother left him but one legacy. 1t
was blessed one. A guide 10 all that was
good and upright-the only strength for
overcoming the lnroads of evil.
Some good soul attending her, one day
placed her hand upon the little fellow head
and said he would be minister, and Toms
mother died cOntented- She said she hoped
he might, and that she knew the harps in
heaven would stop to let her hear his voice
And it was then Tom resolved to become a
minister. 1t never occurred to him he would
have To do anything special to become one
morethan wear long black coat and a spot
less white tie. He Used To say to the bows
when his profits allowed it he should take up
preaching. They told him it would cost a
great deal 70 be minister, for he had TO go
10 college and know the Bible through and
through.
ThenchurChes with such tall steeples must
cost very great deal and bell too-fOr
of course he must have 4 bell TO tou until
the people came.
The old rhyme, told on their fingers. Of
heres a church and here's q steeple;
open the door and here are the people,"
was all the church he would ever have, the
boys told him.
Tom looked longingly at tall church
steeples, but they seemed very far away
from him.
The boys one day pointed out Fifth ave-
nue. minister to him, and Tom followed and
tried to walk Ike him.
He carried one hand in his breast-pocket
for week afterward and made trade with
taller boy for coat which came farther
down on his legs.
His companions thought him great fun,
but Tom was in dead earnest
Shortly after his mother died Tom had q
new care.
He took charge OF poor lame boy, whom
he found one night in the rain with his
crutches broken. With him Tom divided
bed, board, and profits aud the little fellows
Were great Chuns Rainy nights Tom did
not allow Joe To go out and he sold the lame
boys share first.
This unequal partnership was not the
most prosperous thing for Tom, but that
never weighed a fraction with him.
One cold, stormy night a strange thing
happened to Tom. He was unusually tired
and hungry. His papers sold, he tucked the
oilcloth under his long coat and started
homeward.
He soon found himself within the shelter
