PILOT BOAT CHALLENGE.
The Fernandina Men willing to Give
Brunswick a Chance.

Ehe FeFnand1nn wen " 1IiinS 10 Tive
Brunswick a Chance.
Fernandina, Fla, June 5-The corre-
spondent OF the Morning News at Bruins
wick In his article Of June 2 says Capt.
Duncan Wright OF Brunswick challenges
any boat in the south for a race with the
pilot boat Oracle Of Brunswick for purse
of 500 and the championship, at the same
time mentioning the fact that the chal-
lenge is aimed at the pilot boat Francis
Elizabeth OF this port. The Morning News
correspondent here Is authorized by the
owners of the Francis Elizabeth to say
that Capt Duncan Wright can have his
money fully covered, and more too II he
wants 1t. The Fernandina pilots
have twice taken away money in races
from Brunswick once with the Francis
Elizabeth and once with the pilot boat
Sophia Amelia k, and there is no doubt
but what they can do it again. As this
is the case, and as both races have been
held in Brunswick waters, il is more than
proper and right that the Brunswick boats
come here and get back their money over
the course from the Fernandina sea bouy
TO the St. Johns sea buoy and back, which
is a distance of thirty-eight miles. The
race Of course would be under the New
York Yacht Club rules, which would give
the Francis Elizabeth some time allow
ance II must also be remembered that
the Oracle is a much larger boat than the
Francis Elizabeth, which is twenty-four
net tons and sixty feet long, while the
Oracle is seyenty-six net tons and eighty
nine feet long. The pilots here doubt very
much the Gracie's covering ten miles an
hour under a northeaster. Anyway they
say the laurels which they have captured
from Brunswick are here, and If they want
them back they are here and ready to be
taken back provided they can win them
The local men also say that as they are
being challenged they would nave the
right to name the course.

To-day Is Whitsunday, and Is observed
with special services In the Episcopal and
Lutheran churches. II IS also the Pente-
cost Of the Jews. From the Jewish faith
the festival was introduced into the Chris
tan, and is observed with special solemnl-
ty. being the day Of the descent of the
Holy Ghost upon the apostles and of the
first solemn preaching Of the Christian re-
ligion..
From the early times the Pentecost has
been regarded as one Of the great festi-
walls Of the Christian year, and it has been
chosen as one Of the times for the al
ministration of the rite Of baptism
The English name of the festival. Whit
sunday, is derived from the white robes
in which the newly baptized were clad.
II is regarded as specially sacred to the
Third Person Of the Trinity. Many curious
usages were connected with the early oh.
servance Of the day. The figure Of dove,
the emblem of the holy ghost, suspended
by cord from the ceiling, was in sorle
churches lowered so rs to alight on the
altar during the services.

The Lutheran Visitor has this notice of
a young Savannahan: 1T is pleasant to
know that one of our southern boys, Mr..
J. H. Harms of Savannah, graduate of
Newberry college, leads the graduating
class at Gettysburg Theological Seminary
this year. He is said to be the best preach
er that the institution has graduated for
years. Not yet twenty-one years old, he
has received and accepted the call to be-
come the pastor of Trinity church. Cham
bersburg, Penn. What a pity that the
call was not from some of our southern
churchesl When shall we rid ourselves
of this suicidal policy! He was the first
member of the class to receive a call to a
church, and the first to be thought of for
an grafton at the seminary commence
ment. A member of the faculty of the
| Theological Seminary says: 'Newberry
may well be proud of him. And he makes
US proud of Newberry."

The Decoration Day exercises at
Extra, last Saturday afternoon, were
very imposing in manner. The day
began at the X. P. Opera House where
Professor Johnson's company of young
ladies appeared in their spear drill and
headed by the Extra Cornet Band
marched to the Methodist church.
The spacious church was beautifully
and appropriately decorated and stand
ing being at a premium, many
turned away being unable to gain
admittance. After listening to solo,
duet and chorus singing and an ora
ton by Hon. Boorman, the column was
formed and marched to the Cemetery
where speeches by Rev. Ed. Cousins
and H. F. Andrews, and the beautiful
ceremony of strewing flowers on the
graves of our hero soldier dead were
listened to. A goodly number of Au-
dubon came down and swelled our
numbers. The day will long be a green
spot in the memory of our old soldiers.

This week the Rock Island train

bound for Boston and New York
City, 32,950 pounds of choice golden
butter, the product of the Kimballton,
Sharon, Blue Grass, West Hamlin,
Oakfield, Elkhorn and Extra cream

creasing, it is safe to say that $4,000
pounds of butter will be shipped
next week. This week Audubon
county separator butter is bringing
the top price in New York City, fif-
teen and one-half cents per pound,
and that price is distributing $5,425
in Audubon county each week, or
S21, 700 per month. In the face of
such returns who can say that the
creamery is not n paying institution,
a God-send to the farmers these hard
times? Let us have more creameries !!

The lady whose tragic death is re-
corded below was the mother of Mr..
Frank Weisbrod, engineer at the Glu-
cose Elevator and who resides down in
Kickapoo Park. The lady had been
here on a visit and started for Des
Moines. on Thursday of last week.
The following we clip from the Satur-
day Leader:
Mrs. Kathrine Weisbrod, of 8OS Elm
Street, was caught by a Rock Island
engine, in the vicinity of East Elev-
enth Street, early yesterday morning,
and killed. The accident occurred
when the unfortunate woman was walk
ing OIL the tracks in the direction of
her home, to which she was going
after arriving from Extra on one Of the
night trains. The accident was not
known until 4:30 yesterday morning.
At that time Sam Haworth, special
policeman of the Des Moines Union
road, was riding east on the platform
of a Great Western car, enroute for the
junction near Seventeenth Street.
When between Eleventh and Twelfth
Streets he saw the body of a woman
lying near the south main track of the
Rock Island. MI. Hayworth was
obliged to go on to the junction, but he
Immediately returned and made an in
vestigation. The body was lying about
a foot outside of the north rail of the
south main track. The head was lying
to the eastward, and the face was
downward and partially buried in the
sand. The left side of the face was all
covered with blood, and there was a
severe scalp wound on top of the head.
Between the shoulders the body was
bruised and lacerated, as if from a ter
rible blow. A small hand bag was also
close to the body. The lady was sc
years old and had resided in Des
Moines since 1854. Her husband died
about thirteen years ago.

When you see a youth who will do
any sort of work, no matter how
mental it may be, rather than be idle,
you make up your mind that he will
amount to something. The young man
who would starve before he would do
anything beneath what he ~convceives
to be his dignity, is not made of the
right stuff to cut much of a figure in
this life. All honest toll is honorable.
There is nothing so morally degrading
