They Are to Soon Sail For an ruterna-
tional Cup.
After the giants the pygmiesl While
the Defender and Valkyrie have furled
their canvas and silently sailed away,
Ethelwynn and Spruce ~, two tiny
sailboats, are to compete for interna-
tional honors in series of races ar
ranged by the Seawanhaka-C orinthian
Yacht club for cup put up by the club.
The Ethelwynn is the Yankee represent
alive, and Spruce sails for Great Brit
ain. The formers construction is con-
sidered we'll nigh perfect. She is what
is known as double skinned craft. Her
inside planking is Of white cedar to the
thickness of an eighth Of an inch, her
outside planking being one-quarter inch
Spanish cedar or mahogany rubbed down
to three sixteenths of an inch. Between
the two plankings is layer Of union
lead paint. In general dimensions she
is IA. 6 at load water line, and her length
over all is 23.4. Her beam at water line
is feet 8 inches, and at the deck
feet. The deck is planked with white
cedar three-sixteenths Of an inch in
thickness, covered with white canvas,
painted mahogany color and rubbed
down. The bulkheads at each end are
water tight, and the cockpit is nonsinka-
BILE
Ethelwynn's first race was sailed at
the American regatta on Aug. 10, and
she was victorious in her class She de-
feated Trilby, noted half rater, by 10
minutes, and the Huntington brothers
stanch little Question by 40 minutes.
At the Riverside regatta, Aug. %, she
had a walkover and also ran away from
the 81 footers, winning from them on
actual time in beat to windward
Aug. "a, at the Horseshoe Harbor Yacht

built of cedar and is "a feet over all, Is
feet inches ON the water line and s
feet 6 inches beam. She has a center
board, weighted with 800 pounds of

overhang is in the water. She is owned
by ]. Arthur Brand of London. Her to-
tai sail area is 200 square feet. She was

A Double Loaded Political Announcement
by the New York Sun.

A Double Loaded Political Announcement
by the New York Sun.
Look sharp for a change in the atti-
tude Of the Cleveland administration
toward the Democratic ticket and the
Democratic canvass in Kentucky. The
signs will be various and unmistakable
The change will be as sudden as 1t was
unexpected. Somebody has been called
off. Somebody has done the calling IN
voice loud enough to be heard and
emphatic enough to command obedience.
It is known to few here that this re-
versal of the Cleveland policy In Ken
lucky, deliberately contrived and ruth
lessly pursued up to the present time.
is due to the spontaneous action OF
neither the president himself nor OF
Secretary Carlisle, the conductor Of the
Kentucky part of the administrations
programme. Mr.. Cleveland has not been
to Mr.. Carlisle and notified him that he
was imperiling the Democratic fortunes
throughout the country by breaking into
two pieces the Kentucky Democracy.
Mr.. Carlisle has not been to Mr.. Clevc-
land and reported that the job under
taken by the administration in Ken
lucky was too big even for the horde Of
federal officeholders, stimulated to per-
nicious activity by positive orders from
Washington and inspired by the zeal
born of benefits received and fostered
by the hope of favors yet to come, to
carry to a successful conclusion. MIR.
Cleveland has not called off MIR. Car
Isle, nor has Mr.. Carlisle advised Mr..
Cleveland that one of the most remark
able enterprises in the history Of Demo-
cratic politics was steering straight to
general disaster.
The name of the man who has said
plainly that the thing must go no far
Their is William c. Whitney. The name
Of the man to whom William G. Whit
ney has said that the administrators
fight against the Kentucky Democratic
state ticket must stop and stop at once
is John G. Carlisle. These are the two
essential facts as to the peremptory in
junction which is now to alter the
whole aspect of the Kentucky campaign
of 1895 and produce results of prime
Importance, providing the damage al
ready wrought is not beyond repair. -

Their Pound OF Flesh.

sent TO an asylum for small theft, hut
shortly after escaped. His experience
seemed profitable lesson, fol he Sc
ourod employment, and from wild lad
running the streets mt all hours he
changed to one of remarkable steadinoss,
remaining indoors at nights, studying
hard. Last week he was recognized by
u policeman on his way to work and
was arrested Tho magistrate was in
clined to let him go when tho facts Of
tho case became known, hut tho super.
intendent of the asylum insisted on

PRICES AT ATLANTA.
Claims That Hotel Keepers Have Raised
Their Rates.

The developments Of tho opening day
OF tho Atlanta exposition compel ono to
draw some conclusions concerning tho
difficulties the officials still have to sur
mount to make 1t "a financial success
Thus fur there have been exceedingly
fow northeners here. This is undoubt-
odly due to tho continuance of the high
railroad rates from tho north. When
they are reduced, nv they have been from
Washington and ports south. thore is
certain to be u large number Of tourists
who will como to the fair and to 500 the
south.
AT present there does not seem quite
enough police protection for the stran-
gers in tho city, but the aldermen have
passed IN ordinance requiring each sa-
loon keeper to pay 800 II month for the
privilege of remaining open until mid
night during the next three months, and
with tho money thus raised moro than
"a hundred moro patrolmen will be So
curod. When this il done, there seems
to DO no reason why the most venture.
some stranger should not feel secure.
Tho local lines of street railroads
compel passengers to pay double rates
to go to the fair grounds, while they
only charge 3 cents to 20 to any other
part of tho city, Tho trolley cars start
running at their top speed ut a quarter
Of mile from tho fair grounds and
would not allow any one to get on or Off
within that limit today. 1t looks down
here llbly that some passenger will DO

The hotels and most Of the restaurants
have practically doubled their prices be-
cause of the rush Of tho visitors to the
CITY. The result il that it is exceedingly
expensive TO live in Atlanta, though
there appear to be indications that when
the novelty Of tho exposition has worn
Off the prices will materially decrease.
Tho charge of 80 cents to enter tho
exposition grounds will probably keep
great many of the poorer citizens out
of tho fair. Atlanta's population is made
up to great extent of persons in ex-
tromely moderate circumstances, and

sion and additional entrance fees to the

Sons Of Erin Meet From All Over the
World.
OF the "new Irish movement" con-
vention to be held in the Y. M. 9. A.
auditorium, Chicago, three days, begin
ming Sept. 2S, Hon John +. Finerty says /:
"All Irish-American military, ath-
letic, benevolent, religious and other or
CARNATIONS that believe in the total in
dependence Of Ireland and are willing
to assist in it's accomplishment are en-
titled to send delegates to the conven-
ton, in the proportion OF one delegate
for every 80 members and one addition
al for each fraction over 30, two for ev-
cry 100 members and one additional for
each fraction over 100 and so Oh. lndi-
vidual Irishmen Of good repute, who in
dorse the objects Of the movement and
who are willing to give it their aid,
will, we understand, be admitted to
the privileges Of the floor on recon-
mendation Of the secretary and the COM
mittee on credentials.
Mr.. Finerty says that nothing short
of complete autonomy and self govern
ment for Ireland will be considered by
the men engaged in the new movement.
Home rule temporizing is at an end.
The convention will be military in spir-
IL and aim. 1t will try to awaken the
old "force" patriots to action Every
thing will not be lovely, judging from
tho action of the United Irish societies
Of Pittsburg, which denounce today 3
convention as a scheme to deceive the
Irish people.
Among the New Workers. backing the
movement ara William Lyman, General
Michael Kerwin, Counselor M. J. Lam

tho enthusiasm that will be created ut
tho convention, which will BIO the lar
gest of its kind ever held in this country,
Delegates are arriving even from fur

HAVE CORN TO BURN.
At LOW PRICES IT IS CHEAPER THAN
COAL.

A Ton OF Corn VIII Yield Twenty. hve
Per Cent More Heat Than a Ton Of Coal.
Claims That 1t Can Be Used Economic
ally.
Corn VI " cents at Chicago means a
price Of Oh ly about IL or IA cents to the
farmer in the corn section OF Kansas,
and out away from the railroad centers
it means price that will pay the farm
er better not to sell. Consequently dis
cussion has arisen as to tho relative
merits Of corn and coal as fuel. Corn at
ID cents bushel would cost less than
a. ton and hard coal in the region be-
yond the Missouri river will cost from
80 to 80 a ton. 1t is asserted that an
equal weight Of corn on the cob will
yield more heat than coal, and it is be-
sides cleaner to handle and almost
smokeless.
A prominent operator on the Chicago
board Of trade, says the Chicago Trib-
une, has offered $40, 900 forfeit il he
could not furnish corn for fuel to one of
the elevated roads there at less cost than
that Of its coal supply. This man based
his calculations on an experiment made
by him on q ranch in Nebraska. He
bought corn Of neighbor at 10 cents a
bushel. The neighbor expended the
money in buying coal, and the operator
claims that he heated Us much space
with the corn as his neighbor did with
all Of the coal, and he had three tons OF
corn to spare besides. BY actual test,
says this man, it has been found that a
ton of corn will yield 25 per cent moro
heat than ton Of coal. And II, he asks,
corn could be used economically for fuel
in Chicago, what is to be said of its su-
perior economy in western Kansas and
NebraskaY
SO much for that side Of the question.
Inquiries made In tho faraway corn sec
tions, however, yield responses not as
favorable to this kind of fuel. 1t il often
burned by farmers in the interior, and
yet experience does not increase its pop
ularity, and farmers prefer to sell corn at
almost any price than burn it. For pro-
ducing steam, says Wichita (Kan.
correspondent, corn Is not ut all feasible
as fuel 1t burns out iron rapidly, as it
produces intense heat. Even i'll stoves
few Of them in which corn is used as
fuel last more than season.
Firemen who have used corn say that
II requires constant feeding to keep up
that steady heat required for the making
OF steam. From various sections come

TOPSY IN A RAGE.
Sightseers Panic Stricken by Fierce
Struggle.

Struggle.
Lions CRASHED their teeth and iron
bars ratified in Lincoln park the Other
day. The rain had not set in, and
crowds of people wore about the cages
When the beasts began to fight, some
spectators in panicky condition be-
took themselves to flight. The few who
remained saw an odd incident The 40
tors in tho scene were the four Gagged
lions--Major and Jennie, Leon and
Topsy. Tho former couple are staid and
mature, but Leon and Topsy have been
married but short month. Topsy is
frivolous. Yesterday, rs Leon was pacing
up and down tho cage, Topsy gave vent
to n snarl and leaped to the farthest cor
ner, There she stopped, and with her
jaws tore loose tho wooden covering of
tho iron floor of tho cage. With savage
flerconess she ripped the boards into
kindling wood and hurled great splint-
ers about the cage. One struck her liege
lord just above tho eye, and he let ont a
howl Of pain that might have been
heard in the down town district. Jen-
ME showed her anger ut her daughter s
antics by growing. Even Major was
drawn into tho squabble, and for few
minutes n riot prevailed in the cage.
Topsy kept hurting chunks Of wood
around, while the other three ran back
and forward trying to escape tho flying
missiles, Meantime park policeman
brought Head Keeper De Vry. who used
lash with good effect and quoted the
beasts.
A flutter was caused among the bears
by M accident that caused the loss of
handsome umbrella The bears had
been RECALLING themselves on peanuts
thrown down by the sightseers, when
suddenly an umbrella fell from the
ledge above One bear, Jack by name,
seized the umbrella and raced round and
round tho pit with it. Then another
bear disputed possession with jack and
there was n squabble, The silk was rent
in pieces, while Jack chewed off the Two
