COST HER WEIGHT IN GOLD
Woman Whose Husband Bought
Her From a Priest
(From the Buffalo News \

tfIOiH Inc DuH3io NSNs-t
There is an old lady living in Southern
California, at the PATRIOTS little noun
tain settlement known as American Fla,
who is an object of much interest to
strangers from the fact that she is prob
ably the only woman On earth the valua-
ton of whose person ever was literally
appraised at her weight in gold, - SAID
Major H. Gardner, late of the Census
Bureau.
She is sixty-eight years cid now, and
the widow of one Jesus Castro, Mexi-
can. This Mexican was one of the first
miners who struck a fortune In gold in
the pioneer days of California. He lived
in the Santa Catalina Mountains, and re-
turned home more than loaded down
with gold dust. He fell passionately in
love with his brothers daughter, a hand
some girl of seventeen She returned her
uncte's love and consented to marry hi H.
The priest to whom they applied, lsarn-
ing OF their close blood relationship re-
fused to marry them Castro offersd as
high as $4,000 to the Church as an in
ducement for the priest to perform the
marriage. Then, as the old widows story
goes, Castro asked what amount of
wealth would induce him to marry them.
The priest. with the intention and expo
tation of impressing Castro with the
hopelessness of his appeal, replied:
The girls weight in gold
Now, the Mexican maiden, while not
being over-buxom, was well-to-do in fg-
ure for one of her age, but Castro did not
even pause long enough to ascertain what
her weight might be, He exclaimed:
Good, holy father
Then he ordered scales to be broush h
and, begging the girl to stand on enc side
OF them, he poured glittering gold dust
into the other side until the precious
stuff balanced the weight of his inamori
ia. The priest was dumb with re
ment, and it was long time before he
recovered sufficiently to say the prom
ised words that made the twain one.
Castro had won his bride at the cost Of
125 pounds of his boarded gold. He had
a snug lot left, however, and the story
is that he lived long enough to see the
time that he would have taken a great
deal less than her weight in gold for the
wife on which his youthful ardor placed
so great q va Inc

YOUNG TARS COMPLAIN
Boys of sehoolship st. Mary's Make
Charges Against Officers.
AIieSe That They Were IHtreated
der as servaEts-Focd Furnished
Said to Have Been Unfit to Eat.

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-Charges are
made by the young tars aboard the
sehoolship St MRry's, Just arrived at
Glen Cove, L. l., from its annual cruise,
against the officers of the vessel. To a
reporter who visited the ship yesterday
the boys handed the following letter:
1.-The boys of the schoolship St. Mary's
would like to have you know few CT
the incidents which occurred on this
summers cruise.
ITO begin with, the captain of~the ship
and the boys were obliged to act as
servants of these guests. The boy at
the wheel frequently was sent on such
errands as the following: Let wheel go
and get me a drink Go and get these
chairs out of the cabin.
THE food was oftentimes unfit to eat.
1t was so poor that boils and various
skin diseases broke out among the boy
throughout the cruise. The oatmeal
prunes, and dried apples were filed with
insects, and the meat that was rationed
of was the notorious canned beef. This
poor food. no doubt, had much to de
with the poor health of the boys. who
did not receive the best of medical at
tention, the ships doctor sometimes
staying ashore for three and four days
at a time.
In Gibraltar, owing to the inefficiency
of the officers, the anchorage had to tie
shifted three times Again, at Madeira,
105 fathoms of chain were run out,
while the other Scholarships ENTER
prise aind Saratoga had out but forty
fathoms.
''One of the chief causes of dissatisfac-
ton was that the ship was delayed from
September 10 September 20 In Madeira.
owing to the captains wife being III and
his daughters seemed in no hurry TO leave,
owing TO the entertainments lavished on
them by the residents Of Funchal. No
women are supposed to travel on United
States vessels, yet the ST. MaFy's had four
ladies on board ali the cruise and two gen.
tlemen guests Of the officers.
The executive officer was very offensive
sometimes toward the boys, frequently
designating them by such terms as gutter
snipes, outcasts CT society, and worthless
specimens Of humanity
No sooner had the ship left New London
than the captain said to the boys at a
muster: Now I've got you IN my power
and III make You feel it, meaning that he
would make us smart for alleged previous
misbehGvior
We send you these facts, feeling sure
you will print al least part of them. and
let New York taxpayers know how their
boys are treated On the schoolship St Ma

tive truth, as any ST. Mary's boy will Ger

was seen before the letter had been hand
ed to the reporter. Relating the incidents

TO MANAGE THE CUP YACHT.
Providence Millionaire Mentioned
for the Important Task

NEW YORK, Oct, 27.-Henry r. Lip
pitt, of Providence, may be manager of
the new defender OF the Americas Cup.
While rumor has been busy with the
names of William Butler Duncan, jr.,
Herman B. Duryea, Cornelius Vanderbilt,
and many others as logical candidates for
this responsible office. widely known
yachtsman who is on the inside of the
mystic circle said yesterday he thought
MIR. Lippitt would likely be found in the
place when all was settled.
The management and overseeing of the
defending boat is such tax on the pa
thence and endurance of man that the
mere question OF providing boat is real
1y OF secondary Importance when the
problem of who shall manage it is con-
sidered.
1t has always been easy to put a de-
fender on the was in short order, but
enthusiasm and money cannot conjure up
C Oliver Iselins when needed and one
turn as manager OF a Cup defender is US
uaily sufficient for the most ardent tenn
permanent
Another point in Mr.. Lippitt's favor"
continued the yachtsman, is that he
could command the support and approval
OF the whole New York Yacht Club in
anything be did Ia a large organization
OF that kind thSTe is naturally more OF
less partisanship. but Harry Lippitt is one
who would appeal 10 all parties, and weld
them into harmony, which is such an es-
sential to sue cesstCl defence
The men whose approving nod can
land q man IN this delicate position have
the fullest confidence in his ability to per-
form the tedious duties that would fall
on his shoulders. Mr.. Lippitt is also pos
sessed CT ample means and fully able, If
he SO desires, to furnish the defender, as
well as look after her welfare.
He came down from Providence espe-
cially to attend the annual fall meeting of
the New York Yacht Club, and during the
smoker which followed the meeting was
talking in a quiet corner with the men
who exercise sort of protectorate over
this matter
Mr. Lippitt, owner of the crack schoon-
er Quisetta, is widely known TO yachts
men here, and these to whom his name
was mentioned as manager thought it
would be a wise and popular move on the
part Of the club.
In the last races for the cup Mr.. Lip
pitt was the clubs representative aboard
the Shamrock, and he filed this delicate
role to the satisfaction of all concerned
W. Butler Duncan, jr., said yesterday
he had not been approached in the mat
ter, and nominated Herman B. Duryea as
a good man for tire place, saying it would
be d1tnCult TO improve on him.

THE BASEBALL SITUATION.
Things BADLY MuddIed ina Roth This
City and baltimore.

city and Baltimore.
Over in Baltimore what promises to de-
velop into the merriest kind of baseball
war has been started by Ban Johnson's
visit to that city. Ban Johnson repre-
sents and is president of the American
League and for son1e time he has had a
desire to place teams CT that league in
Washington and the Monumental City.
The American Association, of which Mr..
Richter, of Sporting Life. is the most
active spirit, also has designs upon the
two cities, and not long ago it was an
nounced presumably through good author
ity that McGraw of Baltimore would
probably be at theshead OF a team that the
new association would place in Baltimore.
Rumor bad it that he and other baseball
men in Baltimore had placed S., 600 with
the new association as a payment of their
share OF the expenses and as a guarantee
Of good faith that they would enlist their
services on the side OF the new organi-
zation.
To add to the completely of the situation
Immediately after Johnson's visit to Bal
timore where he had a conference with
McGraw he announced that Baltimore
would surely have team in the American
League next year but whether or not Nc
GfaW would head the team he did not
say. McGraw was reticent about any de-
velopments.
Scarcely had Johnson left the city when
Richter, OF Philadelphia arrived in Bal
timore, had a long conference with Nc
Craw, and then went back TO the City of
Brotherly Love without leaving a single
definite statement 10 appease the curiosi-
ty Of the fans" Then there came from
Philadelphia the positive statement that
the Association would place teams in both
Baltimore and Washington and that Kel-
ley, of Brooklyn, would head the aggrega-
ton here while McGraw would lead the
team at Baltimore
Altogether the situation is very much
muddicd However. one thing is certain
and that is that there will hardly be two
clubs in Washington. The people here
Will demand a hrst-class team, but will
hardly support two of that order. The
question. it seems. resolves itself into one
condition. Il enough good players bolt
from the National League to weaken that
organization then the star of the neW-as
sociation will probably be in the ascend
ency. On the other hand if the majority
remain with tbs National the Association
Will have a hard fight to keep its head
above the waters of failure. The Players
Protective Association may have deal Of
influence in clearing up the situation by
openly favoTing one organization or the
other
