YACHTING RULES REVISED.

YACHTING RULES REVISED.
The annual general meeting OF the
yacht Racing Union of Long Island Sound
was held last evening at the Fifth Ave-
nue. Hotel, New York. The council OF
the union reported it's reoomrn endations
and proposed amendments 10 the racing
rules.
It was held by the council that In fu-
ture no special classes should be recog-
nized. This would bring about needed
reduction in the number of classes, and
IL the specials were absorbed by the reg
. ular classes the temptation in the future
to build outside the latter would be ma
terially reduced.
1t vas suggested that the 2a-raters be
merged into the 36-foct class, that the
s'thirties" be placed in the re gular 3O-
foot class, that the "twenty-ones" go
into the 25-ioot class, that the one-raters
go into the 2O-foot class, and the half
raters into the 15-foot class.
IT was held that the distinction hereto
fore observed between cabin and open
yachts should be graduslly eliminated /.
lOt tuc IcuoOh SiS"s N.~~~
been experienced by regatta committees
In drawing the line between them, and
that 1t would be better during the COM
| ing season not to offer prizes for any
classes OF open yachts over 25 feet, or any
classes of cabin yscnts under 20 feet.
One-guu starts were advocated by the
council, and its reasons given for the
recon mendation. the chief one being
that decidedly more interesting races oc-
| cur in that way.
II was also recommended that the rae
| ing rules be 60 amended that all classes
| from 30 feet and under should be meas
ured with the crews on board. Doing
away with tine allowance for new boats
was also recommended, and that boats
with shiftable ballast, or"sand baggers, .
be not recognized In the future.
It was thought best that boats OF th'
80, % and 20 and Is classes SHOULD be al
lowed to carry one professional provided
he does not steer.
While the council did not believe tina
the arbitrary drsught rule passed OF lat
by some clubs covered the ground at oil
satisfactorily, 1t was disposed to give 1t
trial and await developments.

The Isle Of
MiIIionuires.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. PA
wonder if President Cleveland visited
the Isle of the Millionaires during his
last weeks trip to the South. There
is no doubt he was very near to it..
4 But the details of his journey have
been kept secret, and no one knows
whether he has been wading about the
swamps trying to bring down the fes-
tive snipe with his gun or whether he
has been rolling in the lap of luxury
with the nabobs of the United States.
The Isle of the Millionaires!
! Have you ever heard of it? Il is a
lone retreat for the Robinson Crusoes
of Wall street and Fifth avenue. A
fairyland belonging to a club whose
members have men Fridays by the doz-
en- and who live in palaces rather than
huts l visited it during my recent
trip to the South. 1t lies. just about
eight miles from Brunswick, Ga, sur
s rounded by. the warm salt waters Of
the southern Atlantic 1t belongs in
common to about five score mil
lionaires. 1t is estimated that the ag-
gregate fortunes of its owners foot up
several times one hundred million dol
lars. and it is said that every man who
loafs within its club house spends his
tens of thousands of dollars a year.
1t is known as Jekyl island, and it was

that he knows to a cent the wages Of
the 10000 men in his employ, and that
his brain never stops working from one
years end to the other. He comes to
Jekyl to try and get rest, and shoots
and hunts in this warm climate when
the thermometer is at zero in his Min
nesota home. Another railroad mil
lionaire who has a membership in. the
club is George Gould, and a third man
whose special car carries him here is
Calvin S. Brice, the capitalist and
United States senator. Pierre Lorillard,
the rich tobacconist, spends some time
at Jekyl, and Cornelius N. Bliss, who is
now spoken of as a possible secretary
of the treasury in McKinley's cabinet,
is another rich member.
VANDERBILT SWEETHEART.
A large number of the members are
rich by Inheritance. Some are polite
loafers who do little more than try
to kill time, and a chapter might be
written on the rich women who come
to Jekyl to while away the weary
hours. The younger girls come to
fiirt and get husbands, for the matches
made here are sure to be good from
a financial standpoint at least. They
bring their poodles with them, and 1

MENT
Which Cured Him After Everything
Else Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when man is slowly wasting away
with nervous weakness the mental
forebodings are ten times worse than
the most severe pain. There is no let
up to the mental suffering day or night.
Sleep Is almost impossible and under
such strain men are scarcely respon-
sible for what they do. For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea Of sexual weakness until it was a
question whether he had not better
take dose of poison and thus end all
his troubles. But providentia1 inspira-
ton came to his aid in the shape of 4
combination of medicines that not only
completely restored the general health,
but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts
to natural size and vigor, and he now
declares that any man who will take
the trouble to send his name and ad-
dress may have the method of this
wonderful treatment free. Now when

cost, because l want every weakened
man to get the benefit Of my sexperi-

T am not phiianthropist, nor do I
pose as an enthusiast,- but there are
thousands Of men suffering the mental
tortures of weakened manhood who
would be cured at once could they but
get such a remedy sas the one that
cured me. Do not try to study out how
T can afford to pay the few postage

COTTAGES AND CLUB HOUSE. rs
spent some time in looking at the
buildings on Jekyl island The cot
tages are not very eXtravagant-that
Is they are not extravagant as rich
mems homes. They are rather extra
VACANT as cottages, for they cost all
the way from $4,000 to 100000 each.
There Is one $4,000 house that has
never been occupied. The millionaire
who ordered it built thought he might
want 1t some time, but so far has not
come to see it. The club house itself
cost, I am told, about 500, 00O It is q
big three-story brick building with a
tower at one end and with an inn
mense circular porch running around
1T. 1t is heated by steam and it is
now being lighted by electricity. It
formerly had gas, but the result was
not satisfactory, and so the building Is
being torn to pieces and electric lights
put IN. OF course, it will cost a lot of
money to make an independent electric
light plant, but these rich men can
stand it.
l went through the new apartment
house which is now being built. There
are about 200 carpenters and masons
at work upon it, and it will have
judge, about a dozen apartments. 1t
is being built with a packing of wool

lioraire Of the floor below. Everything
is, Of course, of the most luxurious
nature, and money is of no object when
there is any question of comfort under
consideration. I could write column
about the beauties of the grounds ]
could tell you how boats were employed
to carry tall palm trees from other
parts of the coast that they might be
planted on the lawn about the club
house, and / could describe other ex-
travagances which are possible only
to the rich.
HOW NABOBS AMUSE THEM
SELVES.
I could write about the miles of mag
nificent drives along the coast and
tell you how these old nabobs sit here
and watch the sea and roll over and
over upon the sand, taking sun baths
on a hot February day. 1 could tell
you how the millionairesses lie with
the hot sun shining down upon them
Here and there an ankle may show out
but there are no vulgar eyes to see
it, and during the greater part Of the
year even Miss Kilmansegg with her
golden Leg could lie here in peace ]
could tell you how these men of money
work up their appetites by walking.
The air here is pure; it is full of ozone,
and you can walk for miles without
firing. Then I might speak of the surf
bathing. Think of it-there is surf
bathing here in midwinter and there
is hunting and fishing all the year
round. If you don't like such amuse-
nlent you can take a drive, and if you
have not your own horses there is
plenty, of good stock for hire in the
stables of the club. It is true that a
double team will cost you $500 month
and your bill for your riding horse will
