This good story comes from Ceylon:
A tea planter-he had glass eye-was
very DESTROYS to go and have a days
shooting with a friend, hut he knew
that Immediately the natives who wer :
at work on the plantation got wind that
he was away they would not DO a stroke
Of work. Low was he to get Of? That
was the question. After much thought
an idea strnck him. Going up to The
men he addressed them thus: al
though | myself will be absent, yet |
shall leave one of my eyes to see that
you DO your work" And, much to the
surprise and bewilderment Of the na-
tiyes, he took out the glass eye and
placed ii on the stump ef 4 tree and left.
For some time the natives worked like
elephants, now and then casting fur
tive glances at the eye to see If ii were
still watching, but at last one Ct them,
Selling his tin, in which he Carried his
food, approached the tree and gently
placed il over the eye. AS soon as they
saw they were not being watched they

The Denver Times comments as fol-
lows: "Helen Gould has given the New
York British a snub that will cause Joy
in the hearts of honest Americans.
Some of the Bradley Martin outfit
wanted to raise funds TO send nurses
and aid to the British soldiers in the
Transvaal. Helen Gould was appealed
to for a contribution. She refused it
and declared that the American people
had better first make provision for the
care of her own soldiers in the Philip
pines before extending unsolicited aid
TO the British. Helen Gould deserves
the thanks of Americans for her loyalty
and good sense"

H. p. Lowe, former member and
manager of the Topeka Mine syndicate,
who was taken to st. Luke's hospital in
Denver the 10Th instant, had gold
plate placed in his skull. The Denver
News says that on Sunday he was doing
well and he is getting rid of the pain in
his head, from which he has been
sufferer since he was injured IN the
railway accident two years ago. The
operation was performed by DIR. Clayton
Parkhill, the gold plate being put in to
prevent the tissue from growing to the
cells of the brain. A small portion OF
the skull was removed some time ago at
a point on the top of the head. The
brain was thus unprotected except for
heavy tissue. Headaches ensued and
it was to get rid OF these that the gold
plate was inserted. Mr.. Lowe was sit
ting up yesterday. This will be pleas
ing news to his friends in Gilpin county
and elsewhere in Colorado.

GOVERNOR WOLCOTT COMING.

The republican state central commit

state ratification meeting in Worces-
ter, Tuesday, Oct. TO-
Leon Rice Partridge, Henry E. Whit
comb, A. H. Bullock and Willie C..
Young, the committee appointed by the
city committee Monday night, went to
Boston yesterday and presented their
invitation to members Of the state com
mittee The invitation was accepted
and the committeeman came back to
Worcester overjoyed.
Members of the city committee have
been planning to hold the ratification
rally in Worcester for months past, and
the success of their plans is gratifying,
to say the least. Mechanics hall has
been engaged for the occasion, and from
the present outlook, republicanism will
be at full tide next Tuesday night.
The governor and full state ticket will
attend and make speeches in addition
to distinguished speakers from outside
the state who are expected to be pres
ent. Battery B band will be engaged,
and members of the committee will ex-
ert every effort to bring about hot
time in the old town that night.
Not since the election of Gov. Bull
lock has ratification meeting been held
in Worcester, and the honor to Wor-
cester and its citizens is no small one.
Members of the city committee will
meet Monday night to complete final
arrangements for the celebration.

New York, Oct. 3.--As the sun set q
great ball of fire, behindi the Navesink
highlands and the sparkling stars came
out into the fiawless heavens, the big
gest crowd of sightseers and yachtsmen
who ever sailed down to Sandy Hook
to witness the attempt of a foreign
mug-hunter to wrest from America the
yachting supremacy of the world, were
crestfallen and disappointed.
The winds from the caves of old ocean
had proved too light and shifty, and the
first of the International series Of 1898
between the two greatest racing ma
chires ever produced by England and
America degenerated into a drifting
match, and had to be declared off be-
cause neither could reach the finish In
the time allotted by the rules.

that there had been no race. The yacht:
were then taken in tow by their re-
spective tugs and brought back to theil
anchorage inside Sandy Hook. The
clean lirrbed racers had sailed out this
morning fresh to battle, but the brseze
refused to grant the contest. Under the
rules the first race is now postponed fol-
two days or until Thursday.
The day promised well at first The
sky was smirched with few dirty
clouds, but it was clear enough so that
the thousands of spectators who lined
the Jersey shore could see almost every
foot of the course. The waves were cres-
ted with white caps here and there and
a fairly fresh breeze blew out of the
north northeast, but after the American
defender Columbia and the challenger
Shamrock had crossed the line, the
wind turned fiuky and variable, and tbs
race was a f1zzle almost from the start
But the f1uKe today gave the
yachting sharps and the spectators
much to think about and some sur
