A CHEERFUL CHAMPION.

D american Eagle Esq, U. S. A.-DEAR SIR:
Well, what of it?
What if didn't win to-day?
Do you expect fellow to win
Every heat?
I'm still the Defender;
Yes,
Pm the Defender of the America cup,
And L m in the race
For keeps.

The wrong way before we quit,
Or I'm mistaken.
He's true grit, this Yankee skipper
Who knows
"The stern joy their warriors feel
In foemen worthy of their STEEL
He and l
Are glad to see the English yacht
Show up in such noble form.
If victory comes it will be
All the more glorious,
And 'twould be no. disgrace to be
Defeated by SO gallant a challenger.
Suppose the Cup Committee
Does decide tomorrow in favor of the
Valkyrie?
That won't disturb me little bit, for
I'd rather have it that way.
'Twould make 1t only
Horse and horse. and dads deal.
i don't want any claim of foul
To be pressed on my behalf,
For believe
The Britishers to be
True sportsmen.
Give us a fair field and no favors,
And may the best boat win.

CONVICTS FOR ROAD WORK
Marin County Wants Score of Them
Between San Rafael and
Tiburon.

The State Board of Prison Directors will
at its meeting on Saturday be asked to
loan some of the San Quentin convicts for
the purpose of the advancement of the
good roads ideas in Marin County.
The road between San Rafael and Thu
ron is said to be very much in need of at
tention, and the citizens of San Rafael
propose to see if the law, which they claim
provides for the application of prison labor
to the improvement of roads, can be en-
forced to the betterment of that particular
piece of county property.

San Jose Enterpris Q.

Jacob Leuzen, one of San Jose's leading
architects, arrived in the City yesterday. He
says that the 1915 900 fire that recently swept
over the live city is no bar to the prosperity of
the town. William P. Dodd, who suffered the
tent of one-third of the value by insurance,
has gone straight to work TO rebuild the burnt
district. He will put up even more substantial
buildings than we're destroyed and within a
few months his buildings coupled with a few
coats of paint will be an added feature to the
city. By the aid of few improyised fixings.
however, business is already running in the
burnt section. Whenever San Jose loses any
thing it is generally replaced by something
better.

FEARED He WAS A LEPER.
An Autopsy to Ascertain the Cause of a
Chinese Death.

An autopsy is to be held to-day by DIR.
Barrett on the body of Chinese taken by
Coroner Hawkins deputies from the un-
dertaking shop of Wing Sun, s19 Clay
street, yesterday.
According to V. Uhlman of 531 Mission
street it is the body of Lou We Lou, alias
Wing King, COOK, who died Sunday, hav-
ing committed suicide, as it is supposed.
A Chinese boy at 223 Pacific street said
that Wing frequently threatened to COM
nit suicide.
There was some fear that the dead ORR
entail was leper, but a cursory examine
tion did not demonstrate that to be a fact.
1t may be, though, that more thorough
one may bring out some evidences of IN
cipient leprosy. Some Chinese gossips
limited that his dependency ana its fatal
result were due to leprous faint.

The skies In August.

August is the month of greatest in
terest astronomically. for besides com
cts. which. as a rule, can only be seer
by the aid of powerful telescopes, me
teors are usually numerous The Per
seids, shower of meteors well known
to the student of astronomy. is booked
for arrival on the 9th of the month,
and this celestial display will be con
tinued, weather permitting, for three
! consecutive nights. To see the Perseids
on these evenings it is only necessary
! to watch the northeastern sky shortly
after 9 o'clock. which is the time sci
| for the curtain to rise. To the uninit-
lated the sight of these little fireballs
noiselessly and quickly skimming
across the heavens is strange indeed.
1t is still more strange, but only illus
trates the accuracy of the science of
astronomy, that the arrival Of these
erratic little visitors can be so definite
ly foretold. We're they planets with
fixed orbits. there would not be so
much to wonder at, but being mere
meteors it certainly seems wonderful to
the mind of the new observer that
science can tell us Just when and
where they will appear.
The origin of this shower of meteors
which appears SO regularly year after
year has been the subject of much dis
cussion, nor has the matter yet been
settled To the satisfaction of all astron-
omers. The fact that these meteors
appear about the same season as the
comets quite naturally led to theory
that the meteors were thrown off by the
comets. This idea is rejected by many
observers, who believe that the com
cts and meteors have the same origin.
having been elected by some major
planet while it was cooling. This lat
ter theory would necessitate the sup
position of the existence of a planet
beyond Neptune. Which Of the two
views is correct is purely matter of
opinion, but that comets and meteors
are in some way related is not to be
doubted.
But the August heavens possess other
objects of interest besides comets and
meteors. The planet Venus still re
mains the evening star, but its greatest
brilliancy is reserved for August.
when it shines with splendor greater
than any other celestial body visible
at night with the exception of Luna
herself. After this month her career
in the evening sky will be cut short
by coming into conjunction with the
sun September Is. She is now rapidly
drawing near to the sun in apparent
position, but in reality is approaching
nearer to the earth. which accounts
for her steadily increasing brilliancy.
So with the comets, meteols and plan |
cts. August should be the greatest |
month of the year for star gazing. The |
peculiar conditions will serve as an
excellent excuse for practice which |
from time immemorial has been the |
most popular with young people. That
they will see all that is to be seen in /
the August heavens is perhaps open to
some doubt. but looking heavenward
will be in order. even though looking
may not necessarily mean seeing.

TAKE A LESSON FROM GROVER.
(From the Burlington News.

The attempt to make the tariff ques
tion the paramount issue of the cam
paign is simply cheap political trick
"A piece of hypocritical foolishness, OF
of foolish hypocrisy, as the reader
pleases; a cowardly evasion of the duty
of the party. And in our humble
opinion it will go far to prevent our
success in the election. The people,
we think, will elect for president an
undoubted champion of honest money,
and no other. With such man, the
Republicans are absolutely certain of
success. But if we nominate man
who is shaky on the silver question,
though he be as orthodox on the tariff
as Gov. Mckinley himself, he will be
defeated by the Democrats, in spite of
their present demoralized condition, if
| they nominate an out and out honest
money man.
And this leads us to say, that while
the Republican party is unquestiona-
bly, and by an enormous majority in
favor of honest money. many Of our
leaders are strangely backward in com
ing forward with an expression of
their views. OF all the men promi-
nently mentioned, cx-President Harri-
has lately put himself down unmistak-
ably as in favor of honest money.
Where is Mr.. Allison? Why, he is a
wobbler, a trimmer. or whatever may
be the polite name for man who does
not know, or dares not tell, just where
he is at Who knows what Mai. Nc
may be? And Tommy Reed. he whose
nm dlt tod e
est boasts of his hackers the undaunt-
ed Tommy has not thus far manifested
sufficient courage to make plain, ex-
plicit declaration of his position on
this allimportant matter. And we be
else, that has given his candidacy
such a set back, of late.
These people would do well to borrow
leaf from President Cleveland's
book. Whatever hold he has, or has
had, upon the American people, is due
solely to the fact that he is man of
moral courage When at the very be-
ginning of his public career he tele-
graphed his Buffalo friends to ''Tell
the truth to the scavengers who were
raking up the sins of his youth when
he told the leaders of Tammany's gang
of thieves that he would be double
damned if he would give the pledges
they required as the price of their sup
port when he put his foot down with
elephantine firmness in favor of re-
duced tariff and of honest money
when indeed, at every crisis of his pol. |
itical life he made unmiatakable de !
claration of his sentiments carried |
the American people with him. His
opinions were sometimes right and I
wrong but no consideration |
Of policy ever prevented him from ex
pressing them in explicit terms and |
the American people love man who |
isn't afraid
