Not Even Prayed For.

The cabinets members are not notified
officially Of their appointment, and al
though the Church Of England prays Sun
day after Sunday that her majesty's privy
councillors may be endued with wisdom
and understanding, not a single word is
launched on high in behalf of the members
OF the cabinet. The explanation of this is
that the historic prlvy council and the mod
ern cabinet have changed places. Out of
his privy council almost every English
monarch in history had a few favorites
whom he called in for consultation in espe-
cial cases. The star chamber was one, the
cabal was another: in bygone days the
term cabinet was also applied to this
little inner council as a term of reproach.
But in reign after reign the small circle of
advisers grew more and more powerful,
until finally the privv council existed, as it
does at present, with nothing left but its
dignity-every shred of real authority hay-
ing passed into the hands Of the cabinet.
1t was in William HIS time that the cabi-
net became accepted institution but
ODDLY enough, no legislation seems to have
been considered necessary.
The British cabinet differs from that of
the United States not only in being much
larger-Lord Salisbury's number is nine
teen. as compared with President McKin-
leys eight-and in getting SO, 600 a year as
rule, but in the fact that it varies in size
at the premier's will. Custom says that

ury, the lord ancellor, the lord president

Schooner Mary E. Lermond Abandoned

Wasllburn Bros. of Thomaston re-
ceived a telegram from their New York
correspondents Sept. 18th, stating that
the schooner Mary f. Lermond of
which they were the agents and princi-
pal owners was passed, abandoned,
Sept. 10Th, in lat % deg n, lon. So deg.
w. Washburn Bros. have no further
information as to the wreck, but figure
that she must have been in the path of
the Galveston hurricane: in fact. they
have had fears for her safety ever since
the great storm.
The Mary E. Lermond was three
masted schooner Of about 300 tons, built
by Washburn Bros, and launched from
their yard in Thomaston only three
months ago. She cost about S25,OO0
and was partly insured. At the time of
the disaster the Lermond was bound
from Fernandina for Martinique, with
lumber. She was commanded by Capt.
Thomas F. Sproule of Waldoboro, but
the other officers and the crew were ship
ped at Boston, and there is no record of
them on this end. Whether they perish
ed or were picked up by passing YES
sci and conveyed to some distant port
is pure conjecture.

The Cup Challenger Genesta.

OF all the English yachts which have
come overt to compete for the America
cup there is probably none that has
made such good record for herself as
the Genesta: certainly she came nearer
winning the cup than any yacht that
preceded her OF came after.
The American yachting enthusiast
who was so fortunate as to be present
at that famous race iii 1855 OF 20 miles
to leeWam and return will not soon for
get the anxiety with which he saw Sir
Richard Sutton's yacht slipping down
the wind to the outer mark with an
ever-W ldening distance between her and
the centreboard Puritan. nor the de
light with which. when the boats hauled
on the wind he saw the centerboard
slowly, but steadily, outweathering the
cutter, and finally romping home, the
winner by the close but lndeniable mar
gin of minute and IS seconds
In the light weather trial the shallow
centerboard with Der relatively larger
sail area proved to be far faster boat
than the Genesta.
Although she failed to take home the
cup, Genesta was successful i'll winning
both the Brenton Reef and Cape May
cups.
The Genesta was a typical English
deep-keel, outside-lead cutter of the so
called plank-on-edge type; though she
was not 50 extreme in her relation of
beam to draft as some cutters of her
time, she was sent over here at a time
when the excel versus centerboard"
controversy was at its height
In none of the races that have fol
lowed those of 1855 have the competing
yachts of the two nations shown so
strongly the distinguishing national
characteristics as did Puritan and Ge-
nesta, the one being distinguished by
marrow beam, deep draft, outside bal
last, large displacement and relatively
small sail plan; the other by great beam,
shallow draft, and both inside and out
side ballast.
The famous old cutter is now upon
the beach in process of being broken up
for old iron and junk, an inglorious end
that overtakes all craft except few
favored warships like our own Hart
ford. or Nelson's old ship the Victory.

Gen. John NJ. Palmer, ex-governor of
Illinois, eX-C nited States Senator and
candidate of the Democrats four years
ago, died at his home in Springfield, ILL.,.
Monday Sept. 18th. The end was un-
looked for, as Gen. Palmer had appear
ed i'll his usual health, and last Satur-
day acted as one of the honorary pail
bearers at the funeral OF his time
friend, Gen. McClemand. His had
been a typical American and western
career, and it is to be said of him that
he always kept faith with his CON
victions. Nothing better could be
said of a public man than this. His

the END he was honest. straightforward,

1896 he became the presidential candi-
date of the gold Democrats, with Gen.
Buckner, who Had fought on the other
side i'll the war of the rebellion. as his
associate on the ticket. His acceptance
OF his nomination was All act Of self
sacrifice. but it was Characteristic OF
the man. All his life lie went straight
and sure whittier his convictions led
HIM. In all he was a stanch statesman
of the old school, plain. rugged. force
full, who held the respect of all men in
simple honesty.
He was elected to tie Senate by the
Legislature Of 1891, the product of that
campaign. Gen. Palmer's surprising
yigor commanded the attention of the
country, for he was then "A years of
age. His hair and whiskers were silver
gray, and he was a grandfather, but he
showed in lSSS and 1890 an energy that
would have been worthy of comment in
Il man If 30.
The independence and integrity of the
man was shown last January, when he
vetoed the proposition Of Senator Gull
lom OF Illinois to have his war pension
increased from 500 to 500 a month. He
said that he could not possibly accept
such all increase, as he had already told
his friends that his present pension was
all that lie desired In 1897 William Z.
Mason succeeded Gen. Palmer in the

continued the practice of law in Spring

compelled his retirement from active
life last year. Gen. Palmer was mar
ried twice, the second time late in life.
