THE English yacht Shamrock which
is to contest for the American cup, in
September, has had trial sail, and
English sportsmen are delighted with
her performance. They say she is sure
to bring back the cup. Meantime, the
American yacht, Columbia, has had a
fine race nth the Defender, the yacht
shat won the last race for the cup. She
beat the Defender three minutes and
thirteen seconds in a twenty-six mile
spin. The yankees are confident she
will beat the Shamrock. Both vessels
being fine sailers, and both parties be-
ing confident, the race will be very
interesting one.

The Liberals and Clericals in Bel
gium, are having exciting times, ac-
companied by riots these days.
Directly, the trouble is over an elec-
toral bill that is before their National
legislative body--it not being radical
enough to suit the Liberals; but there
is danger of a revolution, and the over
throw of the present dynasty. In this
case, it is very probable that there
would be war between France and
Germany, or an agreement to partition
Bel gium between them.

THAT HOME FUND.

The efforts to raise fund to buy a
home for Admiral Dewey hasn't that
gentleman's sanction. He doesn't need
it. He is well off. The scheme origin
ated with somebodies who wanted to be
conspicuous and hang on to the Dewey
triumphal car. The great Admiral has
home in the hearts of the people.
Any other home is too small for him.

ported that he did not consult Secretary

these reports are true, it would indicate
that Michigan and Ohio are good deal

DREYFUs.

At last Dreyfus is back to France.
He comes gray-headed, haggard old
man. Oppression and injustice have
crushed him. France should be
ashamed of herself to thus torment and
crush an innocent man. The world
knows he was convicted by perjury.
His assailants are IN prison, in exile
or the suicides grave. And yet he is
to have q new trial. One would think
he has had trials enough.-Ironton

France ought to give Dreyfus an
honorable acquittal and good pro-
motion; then build monument to
Frances willingness to atone her own
Injustice.

THE French papers are pleased with
the Kaiser's visit to the French training

by these two powers is back of this,
and may be the basis of return of the

must unite against Russia, If the Slav

Heat Radiation of the st.r..

Dr. Nichols, professor of physics in Dartmouth college, has recently per fected the radiometer and adopted it for the measurment of heat radiation, so that astrophysicists are now in the possession of an instrument superior for that purpose to any hitherto con- structed. On account of this remark able sensitiveness and adaptability to stellar work the Dartmouth professor was lately invited to try if he could de- tect stellar heat radiation at the Yerkes observatory. Details of his experi- ments are published by Prof. Hale in Bulletin No. II, from which it appears that we do not receive from Arcturus (the star experimented on) any more heat than would reach us from candle at distance of five or six miles, no &C., count being taken in the latter case of atmospheric absorption" In Bulletin No. Prof. Hale calls attention of ad- vanced students to the fact that oppor- tunity for work at the Yerkes obser- vatory is offered to all who can be ac- commodated. As soon as they have had sufficient preliminary training they are encouraged to undertake original investigation of their own as volunteer research assistants" "- Chicago Trib- une.

JESSE JAMES SPARED HIM.
The DesperadO Might Have Killed Traitor Stapp, But Only
 Warned Him to Move.

Ex-State Auditor Van B. Prather of Galena was in Topeka the other day, and while in conversation with some old friends the suicide of Tobe Stapp, of Webb City, Mo-, several years ago was mentioned. This recalled to Prather a recollection of the suicides brother, R. B. Stapp, notorious 20 years ago as Dick Stapp.
 For a number of years Dick Stapp lived in the Short creek lead-mining regions near Galena. Stapp became notorious in connection with the Jesse James gang, and lived in Granby, Mo-, where he kept a saloon. The James gang had designed to raid the vaults of the Granby Mining company and took Stapp into the enterprise. At the same time they planned the Otterville train robbery. Stapp weakened at the last moment, and told the officers of the plot. Afterward at the trial of the only one of the Otterville robbers who was arrested Stapp was the principal witness for the state, and the man was sent to the penitentiary. Stapp was compelled to leave Granby by fear of assassination. He came to Short Creek and then opened a saloon in Galena. One night man wearing blue gog- gles and slouch hat well down over his face appeared and called for drink. It was given him, and as he paid for it he said Your name is Dick Stapp. Do you know who I am?''
 II believe do," replied Stapp, at the same time reaching for pistol behind the bar.
 ''I am quicker than you are, as you ought to know," exclaimed the stran- ger, producing a revolver from his over- coat pocket. But 1 have not come to shoot you. This is a mission of peace. l want you to be out of the way when we give ourselves up to the authorities. If you are not some of us will put you out of the way"
 All right" said Stapp. With that the stranger walked out of the house. It was Jesse James.
 Soon after that Stapp went out of the saloon business and engaged in mining, but he was consumptive, and short time before Frank James surrendered he went to California, where he died, thus depriving the state of the only witness who could connect Frank James with the Otterville affair.-Chi- cago Inter Ocean.

One of the bird's feathers, an under tail-covert, which was ruffied and out of place, caught the eye of a sparrow. The spar row flew down, seized it in its beak and pulled its best. The feather did not yield at once, and the pigeon walked off with offended dignity. The sparrow followed, still holding on; and, in the end, flew off triumphantiy with the trophy to its nest.
