The Shippers of the Shamrock.
From a Glasgow Letter.


The Shamroek's shippers, Hogarth
and Wringe, are men just a little over
80 years of age, and yet both have been
sailing in class matches for several
years. Hogarth has had charge of most
of Fairlie's successful boats. and
Wringe made another boat of Ailsa
when he took her over from Jay. The
designer has, therefore, complete conf
dense in them. The crew consists of
no fewer than SO men-four officers,
boatswain. two boatswain's mates. car
penter, carpenters mate, sailmaker,
nine leading seamen, 81 able seamen,
two stewards and two cooks. In add-
ton, Tom Ratsey and six sailmakers
viii cross to look after the canvas. OF
the ships company, only 10 have not
sailed in Americas cup contests be-
fore. Rowe, the first officer, was mate
with Carter on the Britannia; Stewart,
the second, was on the last Valkyrie;
Crocker, the third, was on Genesta with
carter, and Livingstone, the fourth,
was on the Thistle with Barr. If the
boat is as good as the crew, we stand,
1t must be admitted, a fair chance of
success. The Shamrock's racing flag

the racing crews, and a lot of them

Mr.. SHARPE is HOME.
Disease, Suffering and Death on the Ed
monitor Trail.

monitor Trail.
Great Falls, July 24.-Alexander
Sharpe, brother of William Sharpe,
superintendent of the poor farm, has re-
turned to this city after trip over
the Edmonton trail to the Klondike. A
letter from him was published in this
column some weeks ago, and it was
not very optimistic article. He Is no
more enthusiastic over the trail now.
He says that it is anything but pleas
ure trip. Those who have tried it are
getting back as soon as possible, and
all agree that it is a good thing to let
alone. Mr.. Sharpe and his party took
in IL horses and saved five out OF the
10, but another party he knew of was
not SO fortunate, only saving five out
of 200. This was at Fort Graham. Most
of the horses are said to have died of
spinal meningties. Mr.. Sharpe says
he found no gold and saw no one that
did find any. He did meet about 25 men
working on Peace river, but they said
they were working to see If they could
secure enough for a scarfpin. Only one
outfit that came out intended going in
again. 1t consisted of 20 Chicago peo-
pie, who claimed to have $4,000 with
which to prospect for quartz and We're
paying the magnificent sum of $25 per
month for experienced miners and pros
pectors. At latest accounts they had
not secured many.
The winter in that country was be-
tween four and five months long, dur
ing which time the snow on the ground
averaged about three feet, with the cold
about the same as it is in Montana.
Mr.. Sharpe left his camp on May 81 and
by travelling nearly all the time reached
this city on Thursday. He brought his
horses with him as far as Great Slave
lake and there sold them. He then took
boat for good part of the way. The
greatest trouble experienced during last
winter was from the scurvy, many of
the pilgrims on the trail succumbing to
that disease. Living in a ca bin 20 miles
above Sharpe, on the river We're six
men, five of whom were down with the
scurvy. The sixth man cut his hand,
blood poisoning set in and all were
helpless. One of the men dying, the
balance were so sick that they were
unable even to remove his body and
were forced to leave it where it was for
10 days, when a government party came
along and helped them. They had given
up all hope of ever getting out alive,
but after hard work the government
men got them out safely, although aft
erwards one of them died and another
became crazy.
The Indians reported finding one
cabin on the Nelson with five white
men dead in it and various other SINH
lar reports We're coming in when Sharpe
left. There were several Indian scares
during the winter, but none of them
amounted to much
Mr.. Sharpe was very glad to get
home alive and says that he does not
care to repeat his experiences and does
not intend to go back into that portion
of the country. He had enough of it
last winter to last for lifetime.

have their nests somewhere about. They
fly about the front of the grounds, and
hunt among the flowers and plants for
worms They do not battle themselves
like the sparrows. They are comparatively
tame, as no one bothers them. These few
robins have been in the grounds for years.
They do not go far north, like the others
of their tribe. in the summer months. The
Washington climate suits them. In the
winter they disappear for a trip to the
winter resorts in the south, but come back
in the early spring. The blackbirds seen
in the grounds are big fellows half as big
as crows. and just as glossy black

OPEN THOSE TWO PARKS
The Agitation Assumes the Form
of Popular Movement.
A PETITION Is STARTED
1t Is at the Standard Office and People
Are Signing 1t by the Score-No
Good Reason for Keeping
the Parks Closed.

Great Falls, July 24.--The opening of
the two parks near the Standard office
is taking the form of popular move
ment When the idea was advocated in
these dispatches year or two ago, it
was hardly thought that there was any
great amount of feeling over the SUBJ
ject, or that there were many who
cared about it to the extent of declar-
ing themselves emphatically. However,
since discussion of the topic has open
ed, citizens have made special trip to
the Standard office to declare them
selves in favor of allowing the people
to enjoy that for which they have paid
dearly, and this afternoon a petition
to the council, asking that the Whit
tier and Margaret parks be opened,
under sufficient regulations, was start-
ed. In the course of less than three
hours 100 taxpayers and citizens had
subscribed to it, as voicing their feel
ings.
The man who had charge of the petit
ton states that he asked but one
question, and that was: Are you in
favor of opening these two parks or do
you think they would be better IN
their present condition, absolutely
closed ito the public" That the reply
was unanimous is conclusively shown
by the fact that each man on an aver
age had less than two minutes in which
to declare himself and to sign his name.
The presenter of the petition states
that he traversed only a distance of a
block and half to get signatures, and
that where any one stated that he was
Indifferent on the subject. or was OPP
posed to the opening of the parks. the
petition was not submitted to him.
The petition will remain open at this
office for some days, in order to allow
every one an opportunity to express his
opinion, and it is safe to predict that,
at the present rate, there will be 1000
signatures before the close of the week.
This afternoon it was hard to find any
one who had not been wondering, for
two or more years. why the parks had
not been opened before. The example
lawn, which has existed for four or five
years, without the least protection, and
without the slightest injury, was re-
peatedly quoted, and in fact every one,
while desiring the parks opened, eN-
pressed himself as, above ALL wishing
the beauty of the parks to be pre-
served, and believing that the construc-
ton of few walks and a few seats in
side the enclosure could not injure this
beauty in the least. 1t looks like one
of the most popular movements started
in wears.

BIRDS FREE FROM Prosecutors.
White House Songsters Are Never Mo-
Tested by Small Boys.

From the Washington Star.
Birds having a keen eye out for resi-
dence quarters in Washington find the
white house grounds the most fashionable
and select neighborhood they can enter.
This Is especially so of birds desiring a
quiet life, without being subjected to the
Tubber-necking of other birds, animals
and human beings. Sparrows, in great
numbers, have their homes in the grounds,
but they would be just as much at home
on Pennsylvania avenue, and 1t is said
by the bird doctor, at the white house,
that the sparrows which live around there
are recluses or have been run away from
the thicky settled quarters of the city.
There is plenty of room for more of these
little rascals in the grounds where the
trees furnish quiet places for building and
matching, but the great majority of these
birds appear not to care much for these
delightful grounds. For feeding purposes
the white house grounds are not sue
cess, because they are always kept clean.
In addition to the value of the grounds
for residence purposes, there is one dis
tinct advantage. That is in the Matching
facilities. The white house sparrows are
like japanese people in this respect. When
they are not chattering about this thing
and that they are bathing in the different
fountains in the grounds.
At all hours of the day, but more par
flcularly in the mornings, the little spar
rows assemble at the fountains, fit to the
leaves of the water plants, and dive and
duck as long as they desire. They are not
good swimmers, and do not wear fancy
bathing suits. Where water is convenient
sparrows are cieaniy little animals. Each
leaf of a water plant is strong enough to
hold the weight of bird, and there is not
much danger of drowning. At any rate,
no life guards are stationed by the spar

birds.
Blackbirds, robins, thrush, bluep and
crows make their homes in the white
house grounds, together with other yari-
ties. Nearly all the year round robins
may be seen on the grounds, and they

OF the many curious facts which are
discussed concerning the eye, what is
known as the blind spot" seems the
least understood. In the eye itself GER
tain things may go on which give us
wrong sensations, which, although not
truly illusions. are very much like them.
Thus, when we suddenly strike our
heads or faces against something in the
dark we see stars or bright sparks,
which we know are not real lights,
though they are quite as bright and
sparkling as if they were. When we
close one eye and look straight ahead
at some word or letter in the middle
of this page for example, we seem to
see not only the thing we are looking
at but everything else Immediately
about it and for a long way on each
side. But the truth is. there is a large
round spot, somewhere near the point
at which we are looking, in which we
see nothing Curiously enough, the ex-
istence of this blind spot was not dis
covered by accident and nobody ever
suspected it until Mariotte reasoned
from the construction of the eyeball
that it must exist and proceeded to
