A kittle Story Of

The black mammies of the picturesque

New York, Oct. 21.-The third and
final race in the series for the yachting
supremacy of the world was won yes
terday by the Columbia, the American
beauty defeating the Shamrock, the
British challenger, by 6 minutes and
"a seconds. This makes three straight
victories for the Yankee boat, and for
the eleventh time the attempt of
foreigner to wrest from America that
yachting supremacy of the world has
failed. The trophy won by the old
schooner America As years ago is still
ours, a monument TO the superiority OF
American seamanship and American
naval architecture and standing chal-

Youngstown, o., Oct. 19.-The north

covering over 5000 miles, ended in this
city yesterday so far as speechmaking

at Cleveland, Warren and Niles, and
while here attended the wedding of his

m. the presidential party left for Wash

marks here he said:
Nothing in this whole Journey of mine

northwest and through the central and
western states, nothing has given me more
genuine pleasure than the welcome have
had from Cleveland to Youngstown by
the workingmen employed in the mills and
factories along the line. No cheer has been
more encouraging to me or more helpful

Washington, Oct. 90. - President Me-
Kinley and his party arrived from the
west yesterday afternoon. The presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley both expressed
themselves as delighted with their trip
which is the longest they have yet taken
officially. Mrs. McKinley's health is ev-
identity greatly improved by her 5000
miles of railroad travel, and the excite
ment of seeing the crowds apparently
acted as a much needed tonic.

TRUST HIT HARD.
Sweeping Decision Of the Illinois SUI

Springfield, Oct. 20.-The supreme
court of Illinois, in an elaborate de-
cision handed down Thursday evening,
forbids the transfer of the American
Glucose company's plant at Peoria to
the Glucose Sugar Refining company, of
New Jersey, and declares the trust
agreement entered into with the lat
ter corporation to be illegal. This is
believed to be the first decision by any
court rendered in case in which the
legal questions involved in the modern
trust have been presented fully and
passed on.
By the terms of the decree the trust
will lose property, including an exten.
sive plant at Peoria, for which it paid
over 100000 and the stock and prop
erty will revert to the original owners,
of whom the complainant is one.

enue, Northwest, known as the Fitch
house. The price of the house was $780,

tributed that amount necessary to
bring the sum up to $50,000 The So
licitor of the treasury will examine the
title to-day and the purchase will be
made and the property turned over on
Tuesday. 1t is a matter of interest to
note that the house selected finally was
that which Admiral Dewey indicated
as his choice before the committee be-
