In spite Of the Abnormal secrecy con-
nected with the Americas cup challenge,
Shamrock, a representative OF the Asso-
ciated Press has been able to CLEAN e few
facts about the boat interesting alike to
yachtsmen and the general public. The
original estimate Of the cost OF the YES
sci has nearly doubled but Sir Thomas
Upton will not have TO foot the whole
bill. as the ThornycrOfts, who are keenly
interested, hoping the Shamrock's sue
cess will add laurels 30 the FIRMS reputa-
ton, are bearing a portion of the ex-
penses. Those who are inside declare the
yachts construction is absolutely unique
and that the amount of metal employed
VIII be a surprise to the yachting world
when It is divulged. In color and texture
the alley has the appearance OF aluminium,
Of which, indeed IT has a large percen-
tage. 1T possesses extraordinary expanse
and lightness and has been used every
where where wood Is not considered abso-
lutely essential. Great difficulty has been
encountered in moulding the plates. Al
though the sheathing tends to give her a
heavy appearance the yacht has in reality
been buii- for light weather and IL Is
considered that her chances of success
will be reduced should the weather be
heavy during the cap races. Her deck
and overlook arrangements, as regards
sails, etc. are considered original and
peculiarly effective. Light hardwood
berths are being fitted for the use of the
crew in crossing the Atlantic. The con-
tracts OF the crew have been signed for
six months certain on racing pay, and
substantial bonuses have been promised
in case of victory. The first appearance
OF Shamrock will be at me Hunters
Quay regatta, Firth of Clyde. where Sir
Thomas Upton gives 100-guinea cup.
The cup challenger will not ~ regularly
raced, but VIII take a few trials, and
may, perhaps, be tested IN a race or two.
But that will ne arranged according TO
the weather. If It Is wet. Captain He
garth will not set the new main sail.
From the Clyde Shamrock will proceed TO
the Royal Ulster regatta, In Belfast
Loeb, where the same course in regard
10 her trials will be followed. It is very
p1obable that Shamrock will go to Cowes
and meet the Prince OF Wales cutter
Britannia She : more likely TO be placed
under ketch rig and get away immedi-
ately for New York from North ireland,
so as to get a good Atlantic passage.

YELLOW JOURNALISM"


Far kline have long horns" The
American papers publish special cable
10 the Chicago Tribune from Berlin un-
der date of October 14th, announcing
that Tamasese had been proclaimed
king, following his marriage and that
hundreds of his followers were gather
ing at Apia to swear allegiance to him
under the very eyes of the provisional
government. The dispatch purports to
be the substance of a letter mailed from
Samoa September s.
Samoa like Hawaii is Without cable
communication with the world. News
from there must come either by steamer
10 Auckland or San Francisco. These
steamers as we know are at intervals
of about two weeks. 1t is not surpris-
ing, therefore that this letter should
have been accepted in good faith by the
German and American papers.
But there is no justification for its
publication in Honolulu as news of
Samoan conditions, as has been done,
for we have three weeks later news
here. The Moana which arrived here
October IS brought full information of
conditions up to September 80. 1t not
only brought the Samoa papers of Sep
TENDER So but private letters from there
to individuals here, passengers from
Apia, and the we'll informed officers of
the vessel knew and stated what the
conditions We're. The Moana brought
certain and authentic information that
the state of affairs described in the
cable from Berlin does not exist. So
far from it, the Provisional Government
by proclamation as early as the middle
of September announced that peace and
order was so throughly established that
the restrictions on the free movements
of chiefs and other natives of both
factions had been removed. This action
was taken by the cOnsuls acting as a
Provisional Government with the APP
prevail of the Municipal Council OF Apia.
The Honolulu papers which published
as news this dispatch which had almost
circumnavigated the globe before it got
to them, and was contradicted by three
weeks later news coming direct and
through sources not only authentic but
which are personally known here, are
the ones which at times have posed as
the bulWarks against any Eruption of
yellow journalism" There is no COM
monty accepted definition Of yellow
Journalism" Practically, with the in
dividual, it is what he doesn't like in
any paper he happens to read. In
journalism itself, it is very frequently
the acknowledgment that a competitor
has been more enterprising or more
alive to the wants of the reading COM
munity than itself. But if there is any
thing which may be properly con-
demned as yellow journalism" or as
any kind of journalism, it is the publ
cation of statements, as news, and as
giving an existing condition of affairs
which a simple reference to dates and
authentic information within reach
would show is untrue or mistaken.

A CASE IN POINT.

The Board of Health, after adopting
the principle of requiring coroners in
quests in all cases of unattended death,
and establishing the practice for two
or three months, has allowed itself to
lapse from this commendable position,
and, in a case of all others at which it
ought not TO have faltered.
Captain King, Minister of Interior,
died unattended, suddenly stricken UNI
der circumstances which leaves it in
doubt what one of three or four posi-
able causes was the one that brought
about death. The circumstances of his
death as they are publicly and general
ly known, leave it an open possibility
that he may have, died from drowning
from apoplexy, from paralysis of the
heart nerves or from paralysis of the
preumo-gastric nerve, A properly con-
Quoted inquest would have removed all
doubt 1t is true DR.. McKibbin gave
a certificate of death from apoplexy.
But he admits that the immediate
cause may have been drowning. He
insists, however, that from what he
knew of the deceased who was his pat
lent during life, from what he was told
of the circumstances under which death
came, and from the appearance of the
body after death, that apopleXy was
the direct cause of death. This may be
accepted as the highly probable fact,
because it is the conclusion of a skilled
and experienced practitioner who knew
the deceased we'll But even he admits
a doubt as to the immediate cause, and
his judgment is based in part on cir
cumstances of which he had only cur
rent information.

But assuming that his judgment is
authoritative, the acceptance of it by
the Board of Health is entirely beside
the issue. 1t fails to be a performance
of the boards duty according to the
standard the board has itself set up.
OF course it is understood that the fail
ure of the board to direct an inquest
was due TO a feeling of deliCaCy which
we can all understand and appreciate,
that it was an exaggerated feeling Of
delicaCy and one wholly inconsistent
with the boards duty. 1t was a palter-
ing with official obligation. 1t was a
display of weakness which will make
duty i'm the future all the harder.
What an opportunity was missed to
establish beyond all future question the
rule that human life is so sacred that
it is the duty of the community to put
every safeguard around it, Had an In
quest been held on the body of Minis
ter King. no question could ever have
arisen in the future of the enforcement
of the rule that an inquest must be
Helu III lne case VI every uHdlNenueu
death. There is a mistaken feeling in
the community that there is something
discreditable to the deceased or his
family in a coroner's inquest. If an in
quest had been held on the body Of
Minister King this erroneous feeling or
sentiment would have been practically
annihilated. A most regrettable lapse
from a proper standard of official duty
has hnan nprn1ittpd

CAUGHT A NURSE.
DIDN'T KNOW OLD KING COFFEE
HAD HER.

THE duties of professional nurses call
them among a great man different peo-
pie. and it is surprising to know how
many are suffering from the use of coffee,
which is the primary cause of the ma
1ority of many nervous disorders. My
own experience has been such that I feel
that | can speak with some knowledge Of
~thesubject.
For about ten years I was afflicted
with a severe nervous disorder, which
was so great that sleep became an UNI
known thing to me without the use of
opiates. I was a confirmed coffee drink
er at this time, but had never thought
that had anything to do with the Difficult
ty.
After coming to Chicago to live I was
told by an acquaintance, who had been a
similar sufferer from that
he discovered 1T was caused by the use
of coffee, and when he made that dis
covery, gave up the coffee and took up
the use of Postum Food Coffee and was
completely restored. His
sounded 50 logical, I was determined to
make tire experiment, and to my sur
prise. upon leaving off the coffee habit I
commenced to improve. This improve
ment has continued until now 1 am in
complete health and sleep we'll and nat
urally. l always advise patients suffer-
ing from nervous trouble to abandon the
use of coffee and use Postum, for I know
what l am talking about on that subject.
Occasionally private families do not
prepare Postum we'll. that is. they fail to
allow a sufficient amour of time for boil
ing. 1t requires more boiling than coffee,
but the care well repays. for the beverage
is delightful to the taste and wonderfully
nourishing." Maggie r. Church. No. 2

Residents of Little Basin p%etitioned the
board for the establishment of a school,

the matter.
Miss Maud Mcguire, in a communica-
ton to the board, requested that her sal

munication was referred to the teachers

Trustee Moulthrop suggested that the
boilers of the three principal school build
ings be insured. He stated that the
premium for three years insurance would
be $3.50, and the insurance companies
would inspect the boilers as often as nee
essary. A motion to insure the boilers
prevailed.
Trustee Lane stated that he had called
on Contractor Whiteside and had a tall

that he would push the work.

SHE HIM.

Washington Post: What with the dis
NAL whine of Nordau on the one hand
and the harsh croaking of Lombroso on
| the other, there seems to be little doubt
that the human race has begun 10 peileNe
in it's degeneracy.
There is a Washington newspaper man,
however, who claims that the degeneracy
racket is a fake combine on the part of
some cheap literary and scientific gents,
! who would garrote their W grand
mothers for the sake of notoriety.
The otherday he got a jolt which almost
made him cough up his disbelief. In fact,
it is only his personal pride which pre-
vents him from adding his doleful pipe
to the chorus of decay. 1t was like this:
Up on Seventh street there is a second
hand book store which is growing to be
quite a Bohemian resort. Students of
human nature who have lots of leisure
should take a day off and loaf about the
premises. What they will see in the way
Of human oddities will be a rich treat.
The newspaper who has quite a
panchant for old books, was inside look
ing over some musty tones when he
overheard a conversation which gave
him a dose of di~senchantment.
The speakers were a charming young
girl of about II and a pasty faced chap
pie. who was several years her senior.
lection of Nile green and silver gray,
with a lot Of trinket hanging from her
belt, and wore a goose-quill hat. Her
rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes and dainty
amer were the most pleasing melange
of innocent witchery and subtle grace
that could be imagined.
Her escort looked as if he had been the
victim of an ill-dfgeated crab feast, and
smelt of an inferior brand of cigarettes.
The chappie wanted to be real wicked.
but he could not trot in the same class
with the girl.
Have you ever read Thou Shalt Not
by Albert Ross?" he asked. with a leer
that would have done credit to a Picadflly
masher.
'Oh. yes" she answered YEARLY. XII
read that when | was in pinafores. 1t is
absurdly dull. It cannot com pare with
The Decameron of Boccacia.'"
Her escort gave a little gasp, and
reached for his cigarette box. He felt
that he needed a narcotic to quiet his agi-
tated feelings.
"Why, here are Balzac's 'Droll
Stories" she said, taking down the vol
ume. TT is a very naughty book. Did
you ever read it,"
The ciiaDpie twiddled a match ner-
vously etWee his fingers, and confessed
his ignorance.
oh, here is a GEM shrieked the fair
one in delight as she took down an UNI
exrurgated edition of RabeIais. Il never
expected to find it in a Washington sec
ond-hand beok store"
The charpie leaned over to see the
cause of her rapture. He caught one
glimpse of the pictures and fled wildly
out of the store, and the young lady
purchased the volume and walked off in
triumph.
