TO RACE NEXT YEAR
SHAMROCK II. WILL BE LAID UP
ON THIS SIDE OF THE
WATER
Upton WANTS ANOTHER GO
Although He Can't Race for the
Amerfca's Cup Again for Two
Years-Stin Likes His
Shamrock.

NEW YORK, Oct. Sir Thomas Lip
ton has decided to keep the Shamrock
III. IN American waters this winter with
view of racing her next spring and
summer against the Constitution and
Columbia. The Shamrock is to be dis
mantled at once. Her mast will be TAX
en- out SO she can pass under the Brook
Iyn bridge and she is to be towed after
being stripped to New London, Conn,
there to be laid up for the winter with
the Constitution, which will also have
a berth at that place.
Sir Thomas Upton is confined to his
yacht the Erin, which is lying off West
Thirty-fourth street, in the North river.
His right leg, which was hurt while he
was boarding the tender, Porto Rico, a
few weeks ago, is giving him consider
able pain. The tremendous strain it was
subjected to during the recent races is
beginning to tell and his doctor has or
dered absolute rest.
Elaborate preparations are being made
at the New York Yacht club to fittingiy
receive Sir Thomas at the club tomor-
row night.
Sir Thomas Upton is far from satisfied
that the recent yacht races have conclu-
sively demonstrated the Columbia to be
the better boat and it is now evident
that he would be glad to arrange for
another race.
In conversation with an Associated
Press reporter on board the Erin today,
Sir Thomas said:

To RANSOM MISS STONE
NEARLY $4,000 IN CASH ALREADY
PAID IN.

BOSTON. Oct. 7.-Nearly half the
money needed to ransom Miss Helen
M. Stone, the missionary, from the Bull
garian brigands, has been placed in the
hands of Messrs. Kidder, Peabody &
Co. The exact figures at midnight to-
night were $45,54S.40 cash and $500 IN
pledges. Of this, amount the firm this
afternoon sent $4,000 to the state de-
partment to be forwarded to it's consular
agents at the place where it can be
used most expeditiously. Members Of
the firm, when informed of the Asso-
ciated Press cablegram from London to
the effect that Vienna advices indicated
that there would be a months extension
of time in which to pay the ransom,
said that the forwarding of money would
not be delayed in the least.

Imagination fairly reels at the enor-
nous quantity of provisions the Celtic
will carry. The total amount of -four
stored for bread and pastry will be 200
barrels, or 1T1a tons. Then there will
be $4,000 pounds Of fresh beef and NUT
ton, and $4,000 pounds Of lamb, pork
and veal and poultry and game to the
number of 5000. Besides 2,OOO pounds
of salt fish and fifty boxes of smoked
fish, there will be 1900 pounds of fresh
fish Of various kinds and 500 pounds of
Holsters, 500 pounds of turtle, 10000
oysters and 400 tins of sardines. 1t is
estimated that at least $4,000 eggs-ssiillll-
be consumed during each voyage. They
will weigh a ton, and if rolled into one
would make colossal egg feet .

A ton and a half of oatmeal will be
used for each voyage, besides two tons
and Il half of ham and bacon. that is.
about fifty pigs will be sacrificed for
each trip, two and half tons of but
ter Sufficient to cover 100000 square
inches of bread, two and half tons Of
jam, jellies and marmalade; ten tons of
sugar, and ton and a quarter of coffee
and three-quarters of ton of tea. to

two tons of turnips, GOO bundles of as

A veritable fleet of lifeboats will be
carried on the Celtic's boat deck, each
one large enough to be called a sloop

The monster liner, however, will only
consume between 200 and 300 tons Of
coal day, as against $50 to 500 used
by the Oceanic. This is because she is
an eight-day boat and not a record
breaker in the matter of time.

White Star Liner Celtic the Greatest

The White Star liner Celtic is far and
away the largest ship in the world, be-
ing almost quarter as large again as
the Oceanic, which was previously the
biggest leyiathan afoat. AS for the
world-famous Great Eastern, which
was, until quite recently, regarded as
beyond all practicable size, it was
mere puppy as compared with this
ocean greyhound.
The Celtic is in every sense of the
term floating city, having no fewer
than dozen decks, and being 700 feet
long, with beam of 80 feet, and dis
placement of SO, 700 tons. She will
carry 2,742 passengers and crew, and
1900 tons of cargo
The captains bridge is 100 feet above
the keel. The plates are an inch and a
half thick, and weigh about four tons
apiece; while 1,704,OOO rivets have been
put into the vessel by hydraulic ma

All the men who could stand on her

Evidence produced from the Libraries
Of this country that fiction Is losing
some Of Its Overwhelming popularity Is
followed by testimony that the same
phenomenon Is observable In England.
A London correspondent Of the New
York Evening Post quotes one of the
principal British publishers to the ef-
feet that novels and romances are Civ
ing way before "belies-lettres, travel
books and books on practical subjects"
The change apparently is even more
marked In England than It is on this
side of the Atlantic. for the correspond
ent goes on to add: Novels that have
sold hundred thousand copies in
America are selling only FIVE six and
possibly up to ten thousand here" But
whichever coAntry may be lead ng in
this intellectual reform, there can be
no doubt that a movement Of the kind
would be most desirable. Most novel
reading Is worse than a mere waste Of
time. 1t weakens the power Of mental
application, wrecks the memory and
forms disastrous habit Of lnattention.
1t Is no more an exercise for the brain
than sitting In the stern Of the boat is
exercise for the body, and TO confuse
such reading with what Is called intel
lectuallty is one of the most absurd
mistakes imaginable. Flowing
straight furrow Is a much more intellec-
tual employment and one quite beyond
the capacity of the habitual and omnv-
orous novel reader The confusion does
the greatest harm In childhood when
the time should be improved to produce
intellectual as well as physical athletes.
A training Is then needed which should
be felt as the training of the gymnasl.
um or of outdoor sports is felt upon the
muscles. Stories should be admitted
as an occasional luxury, and only the
best at that. Indiscrlmlnate browsing
around among books that are neither
literature nor science is infinitely worse
than an exclusive devotion to the play
ground 1t is to be hoped, most earnest
ly, that the change Of taste is reaching
the Juveniles.

S0ciologists and business men have
been declaiming for thirty years against
the tendency Of young Americans to de-
sert the country and flock to the cities.
All the arguments advanced, all the
vivid picturing the dark side of city
life, all the records of privation, demon
allaation, and disaster in the cities have
had little or no effect COuntry-bred
boys and girls thrown on their own re-
sources, drifted by common impulse to
the cities There was reason for this
drifting cityward that was bred in the
bone. The immigration movement that
began In the COS and that carried thou
sands of people from the Eastern and
Middle Western States to the isolated
farms of the Far West, aggravated con
ditions that had prevailed in all farm
ing districts. Houses were often mere
excuses for homes. Families camped
down in localities where they hoped in
due time to become possessors Of COM
Portable homes. In their eagerness to
possess land many immigrants failed to
measure properly or prepare for prevail
ing conditions There were disappoint-
ment, loneliness, and longing for the
convenlences. comforts and privileges
of modern life. Denial Of these led to
migration toward the cities and the
circumstances of life in many rural
communities justified t. Grandually
there has come n change Wherever
..,.,, 10.
homes have taken on an air OF comfort.
The young people Who thirty years ago
looked in vain for the advantages of
city life In country neighborhoods now
find them at their doors. The mail that
came once a week In the old-time, comes
now every day. The extension of the
rural delivery system carries letters and
newspaper to the homes of farmers Just
as they are carried to homes in the
cities. The building of trolley lines
brings villages and farms closer togeth-
er in the matter of time, The better
organization of country schools and Of
teachers Institutes puts the education
al privileges on par with those In the
city Fashion itself has changed. The
well-to-do people of the cities are look
ing countryward. The wealthy are in
vesting money in country establish
ments. People tired of the incessant
activity and the stress and noise of city
life are longing now for the quiet and
air of the country. This reaction gives
new value to many farms. 1t sets new
standards for country boys and girls,
and the fact that city people admit a
liking for the country may do for the
young people of the country more than
all the arguments that have been
thrown at them for the last quarter OF
a century.
