COLUMBIA WINS.
New Cup Defender Proves Herself
Spcedier Than Her Opponent,
the Defender.

New York, July 7.-Over Il triangular
course of 80 miles in comparatively
light winds the new lselin- Morgan
yacht Columbia Thursday yanquished
the Vanderbilt yacht Defender and
convinced the yachtsmen who saw the
royal struggle that she is worthy of de-
Tending the precious trophy which Sir
Thomas Upton and his merry tars hope
TO take back with them in the Sham
rock next fall. The Columbia's fore
staysail and club topsail are anything
but perfect and cracked in the wind
like transfers whip, demonstrating
that in general way she will need "a
good deal of tuning up. Yet, based
upon the showing she made as better
boat than the Defender under adverse
conditions, the nautical sharps are
strongly convinced that Sir Thomas
will sail home without the silver mug,
the possession of which has given us
the yachting supremacy of the world
since 1851.
The Columbia won the race by mar
gin of three minutes fifty-three sec
ons (unofficial time). There is no
doubt she would have won by larger
margin if her sails had fitted as well
rs the Defenders.

Saved By q Pillow.

An English army officer was hunting
lions in Somaliland. 1t was known th"t
lions were in the nsighborhood, and q
rough thorn fence had been put up
around the camp for protection at night.
About midnight the officer was awak.
ened by peculiar sound, and the next
moment he felt sharp pain in his
hand, which was resting on the pillow
above his head. Then lie knew that his
hand was in lions mouth, and that
the noise which had awakened him had
been made by the beast in jumping into
the tent.
With great presence of mind, the Off
Ger kept perfectly quiet, realizing that
his only safety lay in this course.
The lion changed his grip, doubtless
intending to seize his victim by the
shoulder, but by rare bit Of luck he
got the pillow in his jaws and made off
with it.
Next morning the pillow was found
several hundred yards distant in the
jungle, where tho lion had doubtless
dropped it when he found that he had

Care should be taken III preparing
the new charter for our city that
the salaries should not be fixed
above those heretofore paid. Fifteen
hundred dollars should be the limit
for each officer. 1t is mistake to
make the different positions too de-
sirable. The amount paid in each
case should be based on the amount
paid by merchants or private cor
porations for services Of similar
character. Extravagant salaries
do not always ensure better service,
but often lead to corrupt means to
secure the Office. 1.-THE new charter
is to be adopted, we hope that an
eye will be directed to lessening the
taxes as they have become oppres-
sive and may operate to drive men
from our city instead Of attracting
them to it. There is no more GER
tain way to prevent the adoption Of
the proposed charter than by pro-
viding for the payment Of high sala-
ries for little service, and the friends
OF the measure should shape their
course accordingly.
