n New Form of SaiIbont.
m the Scientific American

new sailing vessel. termed the "umbrel-
la boat or boat with a cyclone sail has
been very conspicuous at Cowes and in the
ooient. The chief feature of this huge ,,m-
pSella rugged above the boat is. it ia said
mat the wind pressure does not tend tn
incline the boat. When the wind is making
large angle with the sail the center of
pressure Is almost at the center of the sur.
race, but when the wind strikes the sail AT
an acute angle, as in all sails or kites. the
center OF pressure moves toward the
weather edge; but, by suitably adjusting
the sail, the desirable result of obliteratine
all heeling movement has been achieved.
In practice this has been obtained by put
ting more sail to the leeward than IN the
WlhdwarG OF the mast, and also by placing
the san not quite at right angles to the
mast. but more raised on the lee side The
san Is made oval, with the major axis hor-
1Zohtai, 50 as to be able to carry more sail
with definite height of mast. The train
ing III horizontal direction is ACCOMPLISH
ed by means of turntable and the eIe-
Vaiing and lowering by two tackles, There
Is d balance weight which helps in eleyat-
ing the mast, and which is just sufficient to
balance the dead weight of sail in a calm
not including the boat. The sail can be sci
and furied Ill a minute; it does not close
like an umbrella, but each side shuts nm
IKE ian. The object of the sail is to be
able to sail without inclin!ng the boat. so
that the limit of driving force is not gov
erned by the stability of the beat in any
way. and also that the boat, sailing on an
even Keel, has less resistance than when
sailing With Est. The sail of a boat IL
Illustrated in the journal. measures 30 feet
horizontally and 10 feet up and down, while
the total length of the boat is only IL feet
on tie water line. With an ordinary rig
2e0 square feet of canvas was found too
much for this boat, but with the umbrella
sail she carries 800 feet of canvas and sails
much faster.
A light boat, especially adapted for this
SAL, is being built by Messrs. Thornycroft
of Cheswick, England, the well-known
manufacturers of torpedo boats.

a NINE MILLION BALE CROP
The Dry Goods Record Makes an
EStImate-A Good Gucs,er
in the Past.

New York, Oct 13.-The Daily
Dry Goods Rocerd tomorrow will
say: Working on those lines bv
which such close estimates to the
actual cotton crop of the last two
years were obtained, the figures
Just now obtained indicate crop
for 1S97'9S, which varies from
s, 953, 7SS bales to 9,371, 532 bales
of 500 pounds each.
For the last crop, or 1S96-'97.
our estimate was S,G22, 9O1 bales
against SSH, OIL bales as the
actual returns while the estimate
for the previous year, or 1S95-'9G
was ! 142, 200 bales, compared
with I, 1852, +13 bales. The close
ness of these estimates to the ac.
tual returns stamped them with
the imprint of correctness and for
the current crop year our estimate
is submittee with a degree of con-
hdence, that barring unexpected
happenings, the yield for 1S97-'9S
will net exceed the maximum
figures of 9,371, ,532 bales of 500
pounds each.

COTTON PICKERS NEEDED.
Oklahoma Farmers Offer Half the
Crop to Get the Picking Done.

Perry, Oct 13.-Oklahoma far
mers arc making great efforts to
get cotton pickcrs. In one county
alone the farmers are asking for
5000 cotton pickers. Cotton will
make bale to the acre IN many
places. Although nearly all is
open, but little has been picked.
Eighty Sac and Fox Indians
have been induced to 90 into the
cotton fields, and one chief has
become an expert and picks 300
pounds a day, thus making from
50 to SO, but it takes all five of
his squaws to pick that much.
Many of the farmers are Offering

and sold it to them. After get
ting a ticket and giving his name
as John Thomas he went out to
have the cotton weighed, which is
done at the depot by a public
wcigher. He came back after Il
short time with the weights and
the money was counted out and
given to him. Not satisfied with
this, he tried another firm with
the same trick, but the signature
of the ticket was examined and
was found to have been forged.

DRESSED DLIKB A MAN
Miss CiSnerOS Passed the
Spanish Spies
WHO HAD BEEN WINED
BY Her Friends on the Seneca
One of Most Daring Feats
Ever Accomplished.

New York, Oct 13.- Evanoe-
line Cosio Y Cisncros, who recently
escaped from II Spanish prison in
Cuba, was Il passenger on the
Ward line steamer Seneca, which
arrived today from. Habana.
Miss Cisneros' escape and safe
arrival on the Seneca was one of
the most laring feats ever at
tempted and successfully carried
out. While she was still in prison
her friends secured Il passport for
one Juan Sola, and stateroom No
B on the Seneca was held in the
same name. This was three DAYS
before the boat sailed. On the
Saturday when the Seneca was TO
leave, Habana detectives watched
her gangways with extra caution.
All day long they remained at
their post examining the passports
which all the passengers have to
show before leaving Habana.
Their vigilance would probably
have prevented the departure of
Miss Cisneros from Cuba, had it
not been for little rcfrcshment
which was served to them bv
friends of Miss Cisncros, who
were aboard the Seneca. The
refreshment included wine. The
chief of police of Habana came
aboard while the refreshment part
of the plot was in progress, and
it is alleged he, too, fell victim
of the wines of the Cisneros fac
ton.
a few minutes before the
Seneca was ready to pull out from
her dock ii slim young fellow
came running across the wharf.
He had no baggage and was
fashionauly dressed. He walked
quickly up the gang plank. De-
tcctives stopped him. only name
10 Juan Sola," he said, and he
showed his passport. Everything
was satisfactory, so the scnor was
allowed to 90 aboard. 1t is said
that if it had not been for the
wine the strange trcmble and
curious figure of Senor Sola might
have excited the suspicious of the
Spanish detectives. But the
scheme kcdsuccessfully. Miss
Cisneros' friends, when they saw
that everything was satisfactory,
disembarked and watched the ship
pull slowly out under the frown-
ing Spanish guns, carrying the
fugitive to safety under the Stars
and Stripes.

SHOT WIFE; KILLED iHIM-
SELF.
A Young Railroad Man, ina Fit
of Drunkenness, Shoots His
Wife and Then KilIs
Himself. |E
Special to Charlotte Observer.

Raleigh, Oct. 11.-Your cor
respondent has, in twenty wears
of newspaper work, seen many
pitiful sights, but surely none
more dreadful than that seen sthis
morning at the neat little iionrc
of Al Watson, in the northern
part of the city. Watson 3&as
barely % years old, a machihist
and II drunkard, who lost his place
at the Seaboard Air Line shops
here for drunkenness and who
once tried to commit suicide by
taking laudanum, but did not
take enough. July Is last he
married Ada Pearce, pretty
girl of IS. Watson's father was
Glib Watson, the Seaboard Air
Line engineer who was killed last
year in collision at Rockingham.
The mother of Mrs Watson was
last year killed by lightning at
Moncure. Yesterday AL Watson
was drinking. His wife remon.
strated with him, followed him
around the streets and begged him
to be better. He went home ut
tea time quarreled with her. He
knocked her down and slapped
her, then said he was going away.
About 9 he returned and there
was some sort of Il reconciliation.
They ate supper. Katie Pearce,
n sister, aged IS, lived with them.
She tells in graphic way the
terrible story of what follors.eiss
Early this morning she was awak
ened by the screams aad cries of
Mrs Watson, and going to her
room, at 6:45 o'clock, found Wat
son calling his wife pet names.
His wife said. That is the wav
you do; you call me pet names
when Katie comes. You are
making fun of me. will leave.
| will kill myself. 'Where will
you CO., said her husband. She
said, Il do not know and put on
her hat. He said, Before YOU
shall 60 | will kill you She said
If you kill me you will be hang
ed for it. He cried out. No,
for will kill myself, too At
these words he put his hand in his
pocket and little Katie ran to a
rear room and opened a window
to call for help. Then she ran
back into the front room. As
she entered the door Watson threw
his wife upon the bed and putting
a pistol against her left side fired.
In an instant he sprang up and,
walking in front of a window,
took a cartridge from his pocket
and put it in the pistol, then held
the latter against his head, back
of the right ear, and fired. He
fell like stone. The wounded
woman crawled off tie bed and to
him, throwing her arms around
him. He never spoke. At 9:15
he died. She was conscious part
OF the time and played almost
ceaselessly. Poor little Katie was
a witness of the whoe affair, which
was a sermon on he evil of in
temperance. Mrs Watson is vet
alive and there is IA ghost of n
chance of her recotery.
