the second of the International yacht race
course yesterday the judges declared the
race of as it was evident that neither
boat could sail the twenty-four knot
course within the time limit of five and
one-hnlf hours There was no time from
tho start until the race was postponed
that there was enough breeze to take the
boats over the course in the time limit. 1t

the race was on. The only thing demon

A Scheme Worth Trying.

"Say!'
It was evident that the man who
stood in the door of the fire engine
house was terribly in earnest.
"What is it?" asked the fireman.
"You have an opportunity to prove
yourself true friend to great many
people if you are willing to do it
"I'll do anything in reason" said the
fireman. "What do you want me to
do?''
why, you see, live in that big
apartment building OIL the next corner,
and there's woman in the fat above
me who plays the piano all the time"
"Well?"
"Well, thought maybe if l turned
in n fire alarm it would give you q
chance to rush up there and ruin that
piano before any one had time to tell
you that it was false alarm. What?
You won't? might have known you
were no true friend to humanity. -

Tho Now York Governorship.

SARATOGA, Aug a6.-The end of long
day Of many conferences finds situation
that has hardly been equalled in the his
tory Of state Republican conventions.
Thomas G. Platt, for many years the leader
Of the party and but once an officeholder,
Is besieged in SO vigorous q manner that
his determination not to be q candidate
still adhered to, is quite likely to be over
ridden and the scenes that marked the
nomination of David b. Hill in 1891 may
find Republican repetition tomorrow On
the other hand men who for months have
nursed gubernatorial booms find those
booms today on the verge Of collapse, u
collapse SO sudden that it has paralyzed
the ambition Of energetic workers and
spread some discomfort among the rank
and file. The proposed nomination Of Mr.
Platt, IL is alleged, is for the purpose of
healing differences and preventinga breach
between the followers of Aldridge and
Fish.

SONG, -SHERMAN'S MARCH TO
THE SEA.
Tune: Old Rosin the Bow.

rune: Old ROSln the Bow.
Our camp-fires shone bright On the
mountain
That frOWned on the river below,
AS we stood by our guns in the morn
ing,
And eagerly watched for the foe;
When rider came out Of the darkness
That hung over mountain and tree,
And shouted, Boys, UP and be ready!
For Sherman will march to the sea!'
Then cheer upon cheer for bold Sher-
man
Went UP from each valley and glen,
And the bugles re-echoed the music
That came from the lips of the men );
FOR we knew that the stars in our ban
More bright in their splendor would
be,
And that blessings from Northland
would greet us
When Sherman marched down to the
sea-
Then forward, boys! forward to battle!
We marched on our wearisome way
We stormed the wild hills Of Resaca-
God bless those who fell on that day!
Then Kenesaw, dark in it's glory,
Frowned down on the flag of the free !;
But the East and the West bore our
standard,
And Sherman marched on to the sea.
Still onward we pressed, till our ban
n6rs
Swept out from Atlanta's grim walls,
And the blood of the patriot dampened
The soil where the traitor-fag falls;
We paused not to weep Cor the fallen
Who slept by each river and tree,
Yet we twined them a wreath of the
laurel
As Sherman marched down to the sea.
Oh, proud was our army that morning
That stood WHERE the pine darkly
towers,
When Sherman said, Boys, you are
weary,
But to-day fair Savanna. s oursn'
Then sang we the song { our chief
tain,
That echoed Ger river and lea,
And the stars IL our banner shone
brighter
When Sherman marched down to the
sea.

THE BRAVE AT HOME.

The maid who binds her warriors sash
sembles,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and
trembles,
Though heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her
story,
Her heart has shed a drop as dear
AS e'er believed the field of glory!
The wife who girds her husband
sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word.
What, though her heart be rent asun-
der,
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of death around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as eer
Was poured upon the field of battle!
The mother who conceaIs her grief
While to her breast her son she
presses,
Then breathes a few brave words and
brief,
kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the Pain that weighs upon
her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedoms field of honor!

flag,
Its stripes and white stars, too;
There is no flag in any land,
Like our own Red, White and

And I'm sure if only knew
How to get them here. I could make a
flag
OF glorious Red. White and Blue

I would cut a piece from the evening
sky,
Where the stars were shining
through,
And use it just as it was on high.
For my stars and field of blue.

And some red from a rainbow bright
And put them together side by side
For my stripes of red and white.

power OF speech and limb, but his
mind is clear and active. He was
wheeled in his invalid chair, in which
he has become a familiar figure on thu
streets Of the city, to the court house,
and made the usual application for l
license. After answering the ques-
tons usually propcUnded on such oc-
casions, he was notified that IS sis
ter and only heir had entered a protest
against the issuance Of a license. ne

ment." he was assisted to his convey

H1PNOTISM AND CRIME.

Chicago, May 26.-Dr ". Nayter

"Hypnotism and Crime" He said
there was no such thing as hypnotic
suggestion in criminal acts He main
lained that any suggestion repugnanl
10 the moral sense q the subject would
result in q passive condition. The
subject" he said, responds only 10
such suggestions as are in accordance
with his moral sense. He is conscious
Of what he is doing. His acts are in
conformity to suggestions beyond him.
but not without The exercise OF his own
yolition. A criminal could hardly be
Influenced under hypnotic suggestion
&c commit acts that he would not per
form when in active mind. The asser-
ton of crime under hypnotic sugg3s-
items is absurd The individual con-
mits his acts by his own volition, and
