at Long Bridge To- Morrow.

The Ariels Will Hold Club Regatta
at Long Bridge Tomorrow.
Everyt thing is in readiness for the inter-
club regatta to be held by the Ariel Row
ing Club tomorrow. The committee hav-
ing the affair in charge have spared no
pains to make it one OF the successes of
the season.
The races will be rowed over the old
Long Bridge course foot of Fourth street.
a course which has proven one of the best
on the coast. A full view of each race
from start to finish is afforded the specta-
tors, the long stretch Of wharf having been
cleared of all distractions through the eff
forts of the committee.
Probably one of the greatest features of
the day W i'll be the special outrigger
skiff race. This race is the outcome of the
discussion which followed Immediately
after the races at the last Ell Cam 20 regat a..
1t will be remem bered that AIeck Pape,
the crack sculler of the Dolphins, on that
dav carried off the honors of the junior
skiff race, beating such men as Ayres of
the Alamedas, Ochs of the Pioneers and
Andy Carroll OF the Arlels. Tue result
has always been open to question as to the
real merits of the men, and each club has
since Gained supremacy for its represent
| alive.
The Pioneers still pin their faith on
Coney Ochs. The result of the tryout
held by the Alamedas developed q new
aspirant for championship honors In
young Stamer, and large contingent OF
the boys from across tie bay is expected
| to be over to back their man.
The Ariels decided to enter Frank Bull
ger, the winner of the skiff race on July
regatta. Buiger has proven as great a
surprise in aquatics as Paul. From a
mere novice six months ago, rs has de-
veIoped into one OF the fastest scullers on
| the coast. For the past two weeks Pape
! has had the advantage of training at
! Long Bridge where the water can be
| more depended upon than at Mort b
| Beach. For some months he has received
| the coaching of Champion McCausland,
| and that awkward. jerky, though power
I full stroke which he used to affect has al
most entirely disappeared, and he is now
rowing with long, easy sweep, which be
| finds far more effective.
| No excuse can be offered from any al
the contestants for lack of training. for
they are all III the best possible condition.
The prize TO be awarded to the winner
will be fine gold watch, specially offered
| by the club.
| The following crews are entered for the
clubs junior barge race:
AL Racouilat, Fred Knight, Albert Carroll

AT church, when d subscription
or donation to constitute his salary
were being solicited. the pastor told
his hearers not to subscribe if they
were not going to attend his preach
ing. To illustrate his idea he had
recourse to the following anccdote:
Having served church in city for
some time, a clergyman in walking
through the streets of that city one
day met barber to whom he pre-
sented demand for S., as a part of
the PASTORS salary. The barber, not
having heard the minister preach a
single time, demanded an explana-
tion. "Since coming here, l have
preached regularly at my church
every Sunday" SAID the pastor, "and
that you have not shared the benefit
Of my sermons is not my fault"
"True," )" replied the barber, paying
the amount. Next day the two
chanced to meet again. Although
the minister's long hair denied that
he had dealt professionally with the
barber, yet the BARRIERS bill, $5, for
hair clipping, was duly presented.

hair long," he accompanied the bar.

One of our school masters exper-
fenced little trouble with some Of
his pupils recently. + The latter de
ternlined to force their teacher to
''treat," custom which Rad not
been observed for several consecu-
tive terms. Accordingly, one cold
morning the "big boys early assem-
bled at the school house to execute
their design; and when the teacher
came he found Jhe door barricaded
and all entrance disputed, The
smiling youngsters within assured
him that, by solemnly promising to
treat, he would be guaranteed a safe,
honorable and immediate lngress.
Apparently temporizing, the school
master assumed the ascendency,
after having entered, and punished
some of the ''patriot leaders with
expulsion from school. Though re-
fusing to go lone, some of the ex-
cluded boys agreed to leave the
school room; and withdrew into the
yard, where, it seems, one of them

Present law

Divide the above table into five
divisions, namely: (a) War tariff,
from 1867 to 1871; (b) increased
free list, resulting from legislation
1872; (c) the Tariff Commission law,
which prssed March, 1888; (d) the
Mckinley law, which went into
force 1890 and (e) the Wilson law
of 1894. This practically gives a
generation of tariff legislation and
its effects at one glance. Here we
find the highest dutiable rates for
the period under the Mckinley law;
but, as an offset, the greatest expan-
sion of the free list, which in 1895
was greater than at any other time
in the history Of the country, being
equal to nearly six tenths of our en-
tire imports. On the other hand
under the present law. the free list
has been reduced to less than half
onr total imports, and the average
ad valorem rate decreased to rate
| (4O.18 per cent? lower than at any
period since 1874.

THAT BACHELOR TAX.
A North Carolina Bachelor Writes of the !


Mr.. EDITOR: While strolling
down the streets of your beautiful
little city chanced to stop near a
group who were debating the bill
lxtely introduced oy a member of
the state Legislature to impose tax
upon bachelors over "A years of age,
and l listened attentiyely for some
time to the many curious as we'll as
startling things that were said. One
man with an iron gray mustache
and rather bIeary eyes remarked that
he would wed some giddy young
girl, live with her for month and
then apply for divorce on the
grounds of inoompatibility of tenn
perment.
A youth whose upper lip was
besprinkled with the fuzzy dawn Of
early manhood suggested that men
needn't arrive at the age of "a until
they were 35. Dust what prompted
him to say 35, l do notsknow.) Af-
ter "cussing and discussing" the
product of the fertile brain and the
vivid imagination of friend Ensley,
the crowd indulged in few desultory
remarks and gradually melted away,
going, l presume, to ply their several
avocations. - | mere note these re-
marks as ones l distinctly remember.
Left alone with my thoughts l
slowly walked on pondering deeply
over this stupendous Bachelor Tax
Law and my mind worked thusly:
What would be done with divorced
men? How would it affect widows?
Would there be an old age limit?
Suppose man swore a solemn oath
that he had courted a dozen girls
and they one and all rejected him?
What would be done with the men
who had married two and three
times and all of their better halves
had died and gone to better land?
What disposition would be made of
one armed and one legged men,
dwarfs, freaks, and dudes? Who
would assess and collect this tax?
This will suffice to show in q
small degree the large amount of in,
terest the bill has caused all ovel
the State.
