ANOTHER CHASTITY FIND.

New York. October l0.-The upper part
OF q woman's body wns found on the
beach at Quarantine station at q. m.

The portion of the body found was
from the waist line to the neck. The APP
pearance OF the flesh showed 1t had been
but short time In the water. 1t was
tied mp with Irvine. and pieces Of Manila
paper and newspaper clung to the Irvine.
Most OF the paper was washed away.
Over the right breast was a cut about
two inches long, but DR.. Doty, health
officer OF the port, who saw the cut, said
that it was merely flesh wound and
probably inflicted while cutting the body
In pieces. The doctor said this portion
OF the body was the upper part of a young
woman and that the woman had never
been q mother. The part where the head
had been cut on was quite Jagged and
the head had evidently been hacked of.
The arms were cut of close 70 the shout

Coroner's Physician Weston says the
wounds in the heart were probably made
to allow the blood to run out. He found

perfect mob Of vessels had gathered
around the yachts. Big steamers like the
Grande Duohesse, the Jeffersoniar, OF The
Old Dominion line, the Plymouth, City OF

way through the smalisr craft In a reok-
less fashion, saluting the yachts and keep
ing their bands going In vain endenvor

Aboard the Erin, the EngIishmen were
In the dumps. A duke or two they could
stand but such beastly luck crashed
them. Some Of them have engaged pas-
sage on the Oceanic which salls tomorrow
but they will go home without having
seen race. Sir Thomas. disappointed
as he was, maintained an outward show
Of good humor. II thought you clever
Yankees could do everything" he shout
ed ovef the rail TO some Of bis newspaper
aoIuaintances, "but you don seem to be

you coms over on the other side next
year TO bring back the cup, I'LL guaran-
tee you at least two races week and
more II you want them.h shortly after
one O'Clock, after consulting with Sir
Thomas and Mr.. Iselin, 1t was decided
TO abide by the decision Of yesterday, not
to sail lace tomorrow. The next at
tempt therefore, will be made on Thurs
LAY and thereafter daily until the series IL
completed. Hall an hour after the excur-
sion fset had started for home, the sun
Struggled through the gloom fer few
moments. but was then obscured again.
Later In the day, however, it cleared up
and though the weather bureau predic-
ton OF q fresh breeze was to realized, there
was enough air stirring for the Col1in bis
to hoist her sails and make a fifteen min

zee how her newly cut mainsail fitted.
Both were pronounced perfect by the ex-
ports and she went haok to her anchor

Wind Wasn't Able To Move Fog
Banks Even.
There Will Be No Race
Today.
Columbia Went Ont For Trial In
Afternoon.

New York. October io.-Hard luck CON
tinues to pursue the big singie-stickers
On the three days last week when the
big yachts made attempts to sail. light
hukey winds left them stranded en- the
course when the time limit expired. To-
day fog bank prevented them from even
leaving their mooring buoys inside Of
Sandy Hook. This was by far the most
dismal hasco of all. City and bay were
enveloped in impenetrable mist when the
yachtsmen jumped out Of bed this morn
log and there was gloom and dIsmay
along the water front. The old salts
verdict WAS Nothing doing ON the
ocean today" but the weather bureau
had predicted tair weather with freshen-
Ing winds for today and few clung
vainly to the hope that the bureaus
representations would turn ont true for
once. The public backed Uncle Sans
weather oracle and put to sea. But not
In such numbers as last week. In many
of the cases sight-sesrs who witnessed
the three fiukes, at an average cost per
fiuke OF from s. to $50. had lost their
courage and 1t will taKe a race to re-
store their confidence.
Meantime the racers lay tied to their
big buoys inside the Horse Shoe. The
fog had let down Its curtains all rounu
them. The circle of their vision was bare
~ 900 yards in diameter. The sun bored
q way into the gloom but could not dis
pei it. Once or twice only its dim outline
could be just discsrnsd through the hazs.
There was no wind to lift the cloud OF
mist that rested on the water. If any
thing the fog seemed 60 grow dsnser &c
the time for ths yachts to get under way
approached. The fog was SO thick that
i5 could hardly have been pierced by
bullet. 1t was manifestly impossible for
the yachts to put TO sea In such weather.
The danger of being down run alone would
have deferred them. Sir Thomas Upton
and Mr.. iseiin had agreed at 0 o'clock not
was suitable breszs. 30 the big sIoops
dawdled idly at their moorings. Their
crews loafed about the deck with nothing
to do but walt. The prospect of rane
was never at any time good enough to
even justify them In removing the oovsr-
lay the little fiotilla of bottleholders,
who attend upon these glRdiators Of the
deep. The krip VITA Sir Thomas and
bis gussts aboard and the flagship OF the
New York Yacht club, the Corsair with
Commodore Morgan and his guests were
within haiiing distance of the yachts.
Through the mist came the muffied clang
of the great fog bell at the HOOK tollinR
Its warning to mariners, while from the
distance fioated in the deep wall OF the
fog horns of the excursion steamers as
they fslt their way out toward the start
Ing line. Shortly before 10 o'clock the
committee boat which had gone outside
to take last look around. returned and
reported no Indications o; change In the
weather, SO the formal announcement
was made that there would be no race to-
day. Soon afterwards the ships Of the
excursion fleet which had been drifting
about in the vicinity of the lightship, got
wind OF the decision of the COMMITTEES
and one by one they began to appear In
the circle where the racers lay. BY H. 80

Lillian D. rage's Sad Career Ends in
Suicide.
Gave An Assumed Name
On Her Death Bed.
But Search of Her Effects Re-
yealed Her Identity.

News of the suicide OF Lillian ID. Page
of Portland, was received here from New
York, last night. Her half-brother, George
Page,ag II years, who lives with his
step father. David A. Ward, at 1874 Cum
berland street, received a telegram from
the New York police headquarters, in the
early evening, announcing her death, and
asking what should be done with the
body.
10 reporter of the PRESS the young
man said he had not answered the mes
sage, and be did not think should, as he
had no means With which TO pay the cost
of shipment and the funeral expresses.
"Both her parents are Dead" said he,
''nnd avn the only near relative. The
announcement of her suicide was great
shock to me She left Portland about a
year ago. and l heard from hen only once.
Last summer she sent me letter, en-
closing dollar, which she wanted me to
uss as tobacco money She wrote that
she was with theatrical troupe"
Particulars of the suicide were embod-
led In New York news dispatch, last
night, which said that two young WON
en-, who gave the names OF Madge Daven-
port and Mamie White, drank carhoIic
acid, in MoGuirk's Bowery dancing hall.
1he Davenport woman died and the
other was in critical condition. The
women had qusrelled with their lovers
1t 10 said that Miss Davenport went to
New York from Boston with sailor
from thu q. S. battleship Iowa. Miss
Davenporb, when questioned just before
her death, said her father was "minis-
ter ur the staue.''
later message announced that the
woman who gave the name of Madge
Davenport had been identified as Lillian
D. Page of Portland. 1t Is supposed that
the means of identity was the flnsinR
of her address among her personal effects.
The Portland police well remember
Miss Page. She came here several years
ago from Westbrook with her ster-moth-
er. who shortly afterwards called on the
police to find the girl. They located the
girl in a place which bore an unsavory
reputation. Several times after that the
mother sought the assistance of the police
In the training of her way ward girl.
She worked for time In the Germania
restaurant on Commercial street, but
most Of her time, according to the state
ments of the police, was spent on the
streets and in the company of companions
of lewd character. She was especially
fond of some OF the soldiers who were
stationed at the forts.
The police station records show that Oh
Septem bsr 10, 1898, Lillian ID. Page was
arrested by Deputy Marshal Hartnett on
a charge Of vagranoy, but in the munich
pal court the next day she was dis
charged. The police describe her as light
complexioned, of rotund figure, and
with short crop, bleaohed hair. When she
first came to Portland she was rather
pretty, but the kind of life she had led
during the last few years had hardened
her face ard made her look ten years
older than she really was.
About the time of Miss Pages depar-
ture detachment of soldiers from the
forts left for Fort Hamilton, and 1t was
taken for granted by the police that she
had gone to meet some CT them in New
York.

The popularization Of golf, which
but q short time ago was considered
an exclusively aristocratic game, has
compelled the aristocracy in England
to look around for some other form of
amusement that will raise them above
the vulgar herd They seem to have
gone back to falconrv, a remarkable
revival of which is noticeable in Eng
land this year The tanning of hawks
is again becoming quite IN industry.
and the fascination Of the pastime is
growing greater and greater for the
wealthy classes who can afford the
highprices demanded 70: peregrines
by tanners, whose principal field OF
supply is North Brabant. Fa.conry
is to certain extent ladies' game,
as the duties OF the gentlemen who
participate in it are largely those OF
courtier. The picturesquenes of the
sport will doubtless give it great I'M
petus. but no sooner does it become
sufficiently common to attract much
notice than the cry OF cruelty vii
be raised, and the pastlme will once
more pass away.

Ex-Judge Gordon of Philadelphia said
that he was confident that the Demo-
cratic legislators We're a unit in opposi-
ton 10 Senator Quay's election, and that
the same was true of the attitude Of the
Democrats toward the confirmation OF
State Chairman Elkins as attorney gem
eral and General f. Reedcr as secretary
Of the commonwealth.
The Democratic senators and mem
bers," the judge added can do the state
a great service and reflect honor on their
party at this session, and they will begin
the good work by rejecting padded pay
roll conspirators and defeating Quay for
the senate
Mr.. Wanamaker said: The men who
have compactad to stand unalterably
against Quay's election are conscious Of
the privilege they have i'm meeting the
demands of the citizens Of this COM
mOnwealth that the Quay machine be
broken at this time As the Quay forces
cannot capture any of the signers, the
inference is that they see their way to
get what they require from the Eemo-
cratic side.
Il believe this is an injustice to the
Democrats. They are fine class of men
and expect to please their constituents
whom they are obliged to face, rather
than serve the diminishing crowd Of
Quay politicians. 1t may be set down
as the solid truth that the Democrats are
too wise to take the responsibility Of
sending Quay back to the senate. They
are not particularly in love with the man
who has been against them publicly and
privately"

The work OF the club women III Ken

throughout that State is to be COM
mended both for its directness and ln-
telligence, observes Harper's Bazar.
1t is under the immediate supervision
of committee appointed for that pur-
pose 10y the Kentucky State Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs. For the purpose
of organization, the State was divided
into five club districts, one member OF
the committee being assigned to each,
with instructions to secure the coop
Grafton of the clubs of her district by
personal solicitation, correspondents,
and through the medium Of the press,
In this way a prompt and complete
canvass was made, and in short time
the collection of histories, biographies,
poetry, wholesome fiction and mag.
azines, and miscellaneous works
was made. This collection was Ia
belled, numbered, catalogued and
packed in strong wooden boxes, aver
aging tifty-tiye volumes to boz. The
boxes are made of heavy seas one"
wood, and securely fastened WltH
screws and locks, and on arrival are
used as libraries. Duplicate catalogues
are made Of the books in each, one
copy fastened on the inside lid, anc
the other retained by the committee
for reference. The stations desig
mated to receive the books are wholly
in the mountainous part of Kentucky
The boxes travel over the mountains
by wagon or down the river by push
boats in April and October. They
rest six months at place, some rell
able person being found in each com
munity willing to serve as librarian.

When a man commits suicide be-

1t does not speak well for New York,

he had symptoms OF the grip, and he

that the shares will be disposed Of
readily. The movement reaching this
stage, articles of Incorporation will be
applied for after which the manufacture

Notices have been given to the occu-
pants of the houses owned by John A.

went out on strike some time since, that
they will be required to pay rent if they

ployes of the Frye factory are accorded
the use of houses which are the property
of the company so long as they are in the
employ of said company. Since the in
auauration of the strike these tenants
have paid no rentals, hence the issuance
of notice requesting payment or vacation
of the property.
