YACHTS AND YAeHTsMEN.


In no other branch of sport is there
more general activity at present than
among the yachtsmen. While the season
will not open officially until Decoration
Day everyone interested in acquatics is
hustling. Along the Communipaw shore
and the Hudson River there is widespread
hustle and hustle preparing boats of all
descriptions for the season. Hulls are
being scraped, sails that have been folded
and laid away are again being unfurled
to the winds, ropes are being put in order
and the odor of paint and hemp is
prevalent in the vicinity of deep water.
There is more promise in the prelimin-
ary work this year than there has; been
for some time past. The chief source of
satisfaction to lovers of yachting is in the
clubs. The combination of the Pavonia
Yacht Club and the Jersey City Yacht
Club is the biggest boom yachting here
abouts has received in some years. When
the Jersey City Club was destroyed by
fire the members rather gave up the game,
but big majority of them have joined
the Pavonia Club during the winter and
among the busiest of the members of this
club are those members that were lately
taken in. The clubs fleet is now of an
enormous size and includes the fastest
boats in these waters. This is feature
that will bring an excellent reputation to
the club as in every race of the year the
Pavonia flag will be seen flying on boats
that will hold their own with any The
opening day. Decoration Day, will be one
long to be remembered if the present plans
are carried out
The first yacht to leave here will sail
on Saturday for an extended cruise She
belongs to Henry Hornung and is the
sloop rugged Vesper which is well known
hereabouts as a fast, commodious boat.
Mr. Hornung will have on board his
brother Joseph, William Brock Frank
Brock DIR. Thomas Kernien, Jack Grown
and Joe Ward. The party will first pro-
ceed to Sea Cliff and afterwards visit
various points. Mr.. Hornung has been

AN UNPLEASANT SPECTACLE.

There seems to be a serious fault of system or of execution in the matter of paying off and providing transportation for such American soldiers as are discharg- cd from mllitay service in Cuba.
 This is indicated in the news coming from Havana that five American soldiers, discharged from service last Sunday, and waiting since then for their pay and transportation, have been obliged in the interval to sleep in the public parks and to beg their daily food. Of 200 men discharg- ed that same day, it is stated, "only thirty eight recelved tickets, although more than S200 is due to each man."
 The War Department should look closely into this matter and take action to remedy system so unhappy in it's operation. It is not pleasant to contemplate the spectacle of American veterans suffering for food and shelter in a foreign land because of faulty method of paying them for their services to the flag. A more ap- prcciative attention must be devot- ed to these men. They deserve better treatment than that which forces them to beggary pending their Governments action Tn the meeting of its obligations to them. St. Louis Republic.

MAY RESUME BUSINESS.

According to the letter of Gov. Jones to tho President of the Bankers Association there is no reason why the insurance companies should not proceed to dc business at least until the su- preme court passes on the validity of the attorney generals construc- ton of the antitrust law. In the letter the governor says he has no right to grant pardons or re missions before conviction but refers to section 7200 of Sandel & Hills Digest of the statutes of Arkansas which Is given below and seems very clear and con elusive.
 "Whcnever, by the decision of any circuit court, a construction may be given to any penal or other statute, every act done in good faith in conformity with such construction after the mak- ing of such decision, and before the reversal thereof by the su- preme court, shall be so far valid that tho party doing such act shall not be liable to any penalty or forfeiture for any such decision of the circuit court"
 Attorney General Davis states however, that he will pay no at tention to the section and will bring action against every com pany attempting to do business.
 Along this same line statement appeared in the Little Rock Ga zette of Sunday, made by Mr. Campbell, insurance clerk in the auditors office to the effect that absolutely no new fire insurance companies have been authorized to do business in Arkansas since the Rector antitrust law went into effect. Mir. Campbell felt moved to make a statement to that effect by reason of the fact that a great many unauthorized companies have agents soliciting business throughout the state. He sad that the people ought to re- quire these agents to produce their certificate of authority to transact business in Arkansas, and that if they cannot do so it IS evil dent that they are not entitled to solicit business from citizens of this state. It would appear that there are worse things in the line of insurance than outside con- panies that have combined to maintain high rates on insurance.

seated near the pulpit began unpinning their hats. The rest made no move, and Dr. Hughes continued slowly:
 "For it would not do, perhaps, for some to take off their hats. They might take cold"
 Still only the original fifty sat bareheaded.
 Dr. Hughes looked a trifie dubious, but said:
 1t would not do for others, because they have fixed their hair in such way that it would not look pretty if the hat were re- moved"
 A hundred additional pairs of hands at once went to work.
 Dr. Hughes began smiling confidently and continued:
 "Others would fear to take off their hats lest the hair might come with them" :"
 With one accord 500 women hastily unfastened thelr hats. then, the rest not wishing to stand out, there was general onset upon Easter millinery. For few minutes women's fingers were busy batting, curling and smooth ing and it was only one or two that were fortunate enough to have pocket mirrors along. These few tiny refectors did duty for the entire pews they were in.
 Then, with sigh, everybody leaned back and listened. With out further remarks Dr. Hughes started upon his sermon.

JOUR ROASTED PROSPERITY"

The Pittsburg Tribune, Popu- list paper has just completed the task of gathering statistics of what it calls ''our boasted prosperity, and the result is that 1t finds that the much talked of increase in wages will foot up no more than S1. 20 per week for each man em- ployed. But when this seeming ly small sums is looked at from the other side 1t is not so small after all. If each of the 14,000,000 grown men in this country could add this small amount to his salary it would amount to S16. .S00,000 per week, or $S73, 100000 per year. When looked at from that stand point it shows that it will place a great many more dollars into circulation and will go a long way towards feeding the families of the laborers.
 Such prosperity we might we'll be proud of if the internal monster, the trust, could be thrown down and trampled under foot.
