Lieut. Frank Parker, now stationed at
Brownsville, Texas, has not allowed his
arduous duties ashore TO dim his enthusiasm
for nautical sport. The followin report from
as expert yachtsman as when boy he
navigated the waters Of Waccamaw River or
Winyah Bay:
"The great event of the season at the Point

yesterday, and which had been the topic OF
much conversation for some time past in
Brownsville as we'll as at the Point The
general interest felt was manifested by the

paratively calm, Its light waves rejecting
brightly the rays of the sun which beamed
down from cloudless sky.
THE two contesting yachts seemed pretty
fairly matched though the Trilby is small
two were about equally divided, the colors oil
each being seen on every hand. AS the time
of starting drew near enthusiasm waxed
warm, and friends OF Capt. j. +. Cummings,
dieting his success, while those OF Lieut. Frank
Parker, owner OF the Trilby, were none the
less sanguine. The two yachts did not pull
off at the same moment, the Ripple following
the Trilby by seven minutes. 1t was a close
race. The Trilby. however, kept the start
and gained about four minutes on her oppon-
ent before reaching the buoy off Padre Island
the turning point and held her way that far
ahead all the way back to The wharf, which
she reached about eleven minutes before the
Ripple came up. The course covered six
miles.

They Had Their Faults Husbands, but

1t was evident that they had been on
a shopping tour, and the expression OF
their faces as well as the glibness of
their tongues made it certain that they
had made some genuine bargains. -
One OF them weighed about 80 pounds
more than she would have been willing
to have owned up TO, and the other was
such slight little creature that she
would have been in danger of being lost
to her friends had she ventured out in a
high wind.

on suburban train, and the giantess
said:

$12," replied the little woman. Il

I'm so used TO what Jim says that
it don't bother me any. Men are awful
unreasonable about money, amt they?

''So's Sam. It's his techy point. It's
like DRAWN teeth TO git SO bill out
o his pocketbook. ?"
$50 it is with Jim, but I git it, all
the same. He jaws and says all wimmen
think of is spendin money, and don't
dispute i'm. It's no use to argue with
ones husband, is it?''
''Not bit of it. They think they
know it all, and they'd think so if you
argued with 'em 15 hours at stretch.
That's fact. never fool away any
time spattin with my husband. Men are
men anyhow, and they can't help bein
the cranks most of 'em are. -
''Of course they can't They was

his meals?''
"Well, I guessl Just let a meal be

our house Sam tore the shirt all to
pieces and ripped around like hyena. "

winding driveway. In the stalls are a
goodly number of fine carriage horses
and few speedy trotters, for Mr..
Sewall, like most sons of the Pine Tree
State, is lover of good horsefiesh.
The interior of the Sewall home
shows evidence of the artistic tendencies
of Mrs. Sewall. On the walls hang
many fine paintings and number of
water colors which are products of Mrs.
Sewall's brush. The many photographs
of American scenery show that Mrs.
Sewall has used her camera with good
results.
There have been more visitors at the
Sewall mansion within the past few
weeks than there had been for years be-
fore, for the Sewalls lived rather exclu-
sively and their doors were opened only
on some such occasion as that when
President Harrison visited Bath. The
vice presidential candidate is distinctly
home man and spends much of his
leisure in the company of his semi-in-
valid wife, to whom he is devoted He
is member of the Sagadahoc club,
Baths only social organization of the
kind, and he also holds membership in
several New York clubs, but he visits
the local club as rarely as he does those
of the metropolis. When he is not at his
home or in his office, he is most likely
sitting behind a pair of splendid bays
speeding between the two points.

Because, returned the centurion,
with a half concealed sheer because
everybody ought to know that grape

Whereat Tiberius Caesar clapped a
hand hastily to his brow and staggered
violently.
"Sed ct tuum, - he muttered in a
voice choked with rage.

It Aims TO Give the Suffrage to Chinese
Americans.
Mr.. Wong Chin Foo is an educated
and eloquent Chinaman who now and
then hobs up from distasteful obscurity
into welcome notoriety. His latest ap-
pearance was in Chicago, where he is
now laboring with the self imposed task
of founding brand new political party,
which shall have as it's object the ad
mission of Chinese residents to full cit
izenship.
Mr.. Foo launched his enterprise by
hiring a hall, an indisputable evidence
of rare political sagacity. By means of
handbills he secured an audience of
about 200, and then with great huency
he told his auditors all about his scheme.
After that he invited any one present
to take the platform. Several speakers
of the wild and woolly stripe embraced
the opportunity and talked of almost
every other subject than Chinese suf-
frage. The audience guyed the speakers
and the meeting broke up without pass
ing even resolution. Wong was disap-

The political pot is bub-
bling across the water and
business there will be dead
until after the election in
November. We knew it
would be and took advantage
of the manufacturers will
ingneSS to part with their
goods below cost, rather
than hold them over. You
share the benefits with us.
This week we are offering
you an opportunity of a life
time to secure towels. When
we say cut down the prices,
it does not mean old stock,
sold cheap to get rid of them,
but new articles reduced to
meet popular demand.
We have linen towels all
lengths and qualities; a fine
article for the boudOir and
indispensable to ladies and
children. Honey comb towels
cheaper in price and not so
good in quality, suitable for
ordinary use. Turkish
towels for the bath are as
necessary as soap, no bath
room can be considered
complete or perfect in its
furnishings without them,
and the prices are right.

pointed but not discouraged, and still
hopes to raise a party big enough to
elect president next November.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
Wong Chin is an enthusiast. He is of
middle age and has already had a ca
reer full of excitement. He was born in
middle China, but was adopted by an
American missionary and sent to New
York, where he was educated at Colum-
bia college. Thep he went back to
China, where he secured a government
position as interpreter. He plotted
against the reigning dynasty, however,
was found out and got out of the cOun-
try just in time to escape losing his
head Since then he has staid in
America for his health. He has written
for the newspapers and lectured &C.
casionally, but has managed to get into
trouble on several occasions.
In San Francisco he incurred the dis
pleasure of the Highbinders by exposing
their methods of importing Chinese
girls. They set price on his head, and
he has kept away from the coast ever
since. In New York he gained fame by
combating Denis Kearney of sand
lots fame. Later he found haven in
Chicago. This is Wong's first appear
ance as a political leader and possibly
his last.

Down at the Rocky Spring.

A winding path that tumbled down
A steep and grassy hill,
Found, at the foot, a rocky spring,
Where have drunk my fill
OF water pure and cold as that
OF which the prophet wrote,
When Israel drank, beside the rock,
That good old Moses smote.
A little house of rough hewn stone;
A low and heavy door;
a roof o 'ergrown with greeneSt moss;
OF solid rock the floor.
I've Swallowed old Aunt Easter there,
And followed down the path,
To find her busy, Swimming milk,
And met her feigned wrath.
s'You little scampl 1 know yo' tricks;
You thinks you's fine silk;
/ knows you comes er ha 'ntin 'roun
Fur some er dis yer milk.
But you is gwinter miss yo' lick
Dis time, 1 tells you now;
Kase you amt wuff yo' daily salt
OATS whut 20 nanny low.
But well know Aunt Casters way;
Her pretense, grim and stern
Ny time would come when she had filed
The clean, old butter churn.
"Come hyari Dis milk is gwinter Spite !;
Oars heep too much today;
But dis is jes' the las you gifts
You heah me, whut l sayH"
So there 1 sit-across the sill
And quaf the goodly bowl;
Aunt Casters happy as the boy
God bless her dear old soul!
Since then, full oft, I've sought the place,
And plucked the mint that grew
Along the branch, below the spring
And found it mixed with rue.
I've drank the rich and sparkling wines
OF sunny France and Spain,
And felt the splendid joys they bring;
Their misery and pain.
But no such healthful, hearty draft
Will poet ever sing,
AS Aunt Easter gave me, oft,
Down at the rocky spring.

ARTHUR sewALL's HOME.
The Vice Presidential Candidate Lives In
the Finest House In Bath.

the Finest House In Bath.
Mr.. Arthur Sewal1, the Democratic
candidate for vice president, lives in the
finest house in Bath, Me. He is one of
the two big men in the old seaport
The other is General Hyde. his warm
friend Both are builders and owners of
ships. For years the Sewall shipyards
have been the pride not only of Bath,
but of all of Maine.
The Sewall mansion is a mile or so
from the water front, but from its broad
veranda can be seen the Kennebec and
the yards where the Sewalls, father and
sons, have launched more than hun
dred OF the finest ships that float the
stars and stripes. The house is a big.
substantially built structure, but can
boast Of neither beauty nor style of archi-
lecture. The grounds are we'll kept, the
level lawns being smooth and closely
cut, the shrubbery carefully trimmed
and the flower plots showing the skill
OF an expert gardener.
In the rear of the mansion are ample
stables approached by a broad, smooth,
