INTEREST in THE CUP RACES

Interest in the contest for the Amer
ica's cup is increasing in this country
and England. This is evident from
the talk that has begun about the
amount of money that is likely to be
wagered on the result of the races. A
London dispatch states that one man
has started from London with $3.50, 600
to bet on Shamrock III. There is no
reason to doubt that a great deal more
money will be bet on the cup contest
this year than that of any previous
year.
There is a pretty we'll settled belief
in England that Shamrock ii will
win. The foundation of this belief
seems to be the poor showing the Con-
stitution has been making in her races
with the Columbia, and the fact that
Shamrock IL is a much faster boat
than Shamrock /.
But has the Constitution done as
doing? There are yachtsmen who
answer this question in the negative.
For instance, one writer on yachting
subjects quotes the captain of the CO.
lumbia as saying that he could take
the Constitution and make her do Won
ders-make her lead the Columbia in
every contest between the two yachts.
1t is impossible, of course, to say
how much truth there is in this state
ment, but If it is true, the best thing
the committee having the trial races in
charge can do is to put the Columbia's
captain in command of the Constitu-
ton. If there is any way to get better
work out of that yacht, no time ought
to be lost in adopting it.
1t is worthy of notice, however, that
in some of the reports of the last races
between the Constitution and the CO.
lumbia. the statement is made that
the former did some astonishing sail
ing in a strong breeze. 1t was said
that she ran away from the Columbia
easily, though the race was won by the
Columbia. 1t has been known all along
that the Constitution is a wonderful
boat in light breezes. Her perform
ances, when there is scarcely any wind
at all, are remarkable. If it can be
demonstrated that she is equally as re-
markable in strong winds there will be
but little doubt as to the outcome of
the contest. The cup will remain in
this country. But can she be depended
upon in a strong breeze? The belief
that she cannot is going to make the
betting lively. Unless all signs fail
more money will be wagered on this
race than on any other ever sailed in
American waters.

Once there were some very swagger
people in an ultra-fashionable village
not far from the metropolis who de-
cided that no society yet punched to-
gether was exclusive enough for them,
says the Smart Set. Even the Colonial
Danes failed to meet the requirements.
SO they determined to start new ag-
gregation that should be the real thing.
After considerable thought they con-
Guided that if they limited membership
to direct descendants of Fernando de
Sofa it would be sufficiently exclusive
for their fastidious tastes. "a Society
of the Sons and Daughters of De Sofa
was the outcome. All the best people
in the village proved that they were
eligible and were enrolled as charter
members.
However, there was one man on the
outer fringe whose proof of descent
was not accepted; in short, he was
blackballed. This made him angry,
and he started to investigate the sub
ject.
One day he published his findings in
the local newspaper. The principal
fact was this: IF. de Soto died a
bachelor"
The Sons and Daughters of De Sofa
are now known as the Elite Euchre
Club.
Moral-There's whole lot in a name.

Making Amends.

Forest street. the literary corner of
Hartford. is a most friendly place, says
Short Stories. The fortunate members
of that charmed circle hobnob together
in most friendly manner at all times
and at all seasons. When Harriet
Beecher Stowe was alive. Mark Twain,
who lived near her, had a way of run
ming in to converse with her and her
daughters. often in a somewhat negli-
gee costume, greatly to the distress Of
Mrs. Clemens.
One morning, as he returned from the
Stoves sans necktie, Mrs. Clemens met
him at the door with the exclamation:
There. Sam, you have been over TO the
Stoves again without a necktie. It's
really disgraceful the way you neglect
your dress" Her husband said nothing,
but went to his room. A few minutes
later Mrs. Stowe was summoned to the
door by a messenger who presented her
with a small box neatly done up. She
opened it and found black silk neck
tie, accompanied by the following note:
Here is a necktie. Take il out and
look at it. think / stayed half an hour

ESTATES OFF MILLIoNAIREs.

1t often happens nowadays that large
estates are not distributed in accord
ance with the wishes of the testators.
Ways are found to set aside their Wills
either actually or practically. This oc-
ours so often that it is a wonder that
more millionaires do not distribute their
wealth during their lives.
1t is said to be a great pleasure to
accumulate wealth. 1t ought to be
equally as pleasurable to give it away
when it is no longer needed. The love
of the power which it gives is, doubt
less, the chief reason why rich men
cling to it until death. Besides, most
of them cannot be made to believe that
death is near to them, even when they
reach a ripe old age.
Mr.. Carnegie is giving away his
wealth, but unless he hastens the dis
tribution of it he will die a disgraced
man-that is a rich man-for it will be
remembered that he once said that a
man who dies rich dies disgraced. Thus
far he has not impaired his principal
to any noticeable extent. 1t will keep
him busy to give away his surplus in
come.
The immediate occasion of these re-
marks is the recent announcement that
the chief beneficiaries of the estate of
the late c. p. Huntington have COM
promised with the Princess Hatzfeldt
by giving her. in addition to the legacy
of 100000 left to her in the will, the
sum of 100000. She was an adopted
daughter of Mr.. Huntington, and she
married against his will. 1t has been
said in the public prints that Prince
Hatzfeldt is a spendthrft. Evidently
Mr.. Huntington did not relish the idea
of having the money for which he had
toied squandered by titled foreigner.
Therefore he left his adopted daugh-
ter only $1,000.000. She threatened to
break the will. Evidently she had a
good case or there would not have been
a compromise. For making the settle
ment the Hatzfeldts' lawyer got $780,
OOO Probably if Mr.. Huntington could
have foreseen how his money would be
distributed after his death he would
have disposed of the most of 1t while
he was living. In that event the Prince
would have had comparatively short
rations during the remainder of his
life.

PLANS FOR SETTLING STRIKES.

The discussion of the various plans
for settling strikes and lockouts and
| for preventing them is going on as
vigorously as if these plans had never
before received any consideration. 1t
! is doubtful if in all of the articles on
| plans for settling strikes which are
now being written there is a single new
thought or argument or suggestion.
The fact is. the whole field has been
gone over so thoroughly that there is
nothing new to be said.
If only the immediate parties to a
strike were concerned in its prompt
settlement, strikes would not of course
attract the very general attention they
do. AS a matter of fact, however. the
as the strikers or their employers. For
instance. in this strike OF the steel and
tin workers, two great branches of
agriculturers are profoundly interested.
The cotton growers are calling for cot
ton ties and the fruit and vegetable
growers will soon need cans for can
ming purposes.
public has much to do with bringing
about settlements of strikes, because
the side which it is against is likely to
yield, but 1t takes the public some time
to understand fully the questions in
dispute. 1t is because the sympathy of
the public has so much to do with set
Ting labor disputes that arbitration,
even compulsory arbitration, is so
strongly favored. The theory of those
favoring arbitration is that the public
would sustain the decision reached by
arbitrator.
1t has been stated many times in the
public prints, since the strike of the
steel workers began, that compulsory
arbitration worked admirably in New
Zealand. But is there evidence that it
does answer satisfactorily there?
In a recent article the Louisville
CONFECTIONERY, speaking of the New
Zealand plan, says:
"And now comes Premier Seldom, its
author, with the admission that the
New Zealand plan is a failure, that the
arbitration boards, instead of prevent
ing strife, have provoked it, that they
have caused the workingmen to grow
more discontinued and contentious fol-
lowing this with the declaration that
the abandonment of compulsory arbitra-
ton is 'imperatively necessary in the
interest of industrial peace
1t is apparent from this that the
compulsory arbitration plan is no more
satisfactory than any other. The truth
is that while there are various theories
as to how labor troubles may be settled
without a strike or a lockout none of
them accomplishes what is claimed
for 1t. The battle between labor and
capital will therefore continue. Per-
haps the time may come when a wiser
man than has yet dealt with the
strike problem will offer a solution of
that problem. 1t is certain that no
satisfactory solution has yet been
offered.

II want to tell you good one" and
Dr. George H. Ide's eyes sparkled and
the muscles of his anatomy gathered
and relaxed and gathered and relaxed
again, says the Milwaukee Sentinel.
"In a church not a thousand miles
from Milwaukee a railroad conductor
attended services recently. 1t was the
first time he had ever been seen in a
church, and his presence caused quite
a stir. The preacher preached his ser
mon, and then, reluctant to lose the
opportunity to make a lasting impress
sion, he travelled over the same ground
in language more impressive and spun
his discourse out into unwarranted
length.

church-waited for the railroader and,
accosting him, inquired:

She returned to her chair and drew

down. She saw her husband standing,
and then disappear as he stepped be-

Then she heard him speak with some
emphasis.

So far as we are able to recall there
has never been riot in a Southern
city for the purpose of driving the COL
ored element out Of the public parks.
In Savannah Charleston, Jacksonville,
Wilmington. Mobile. Memphis and New
Orleans the public parks are often
practically monopolized by negroes.
They come early and stay late, and
occupy the choice benches and sit
nearest the music when the band plays.
1t is frequently remarked that they get
the most of the benefits of the parks,
but the white people never think of
driving them away with clubs and
rocks. But in Indianapolis, Ind, they
do things differently. Two riots have
already occurred there in Fairview
Park because the white people object
to the presence of negroes in the pleas
ure grounds, and other similar trouble
may occur. In Indiana the "colored
brother" is best loved when he is sew
eral hundred miles away.

HOW TO SECURE HARMONY.

In the current issue of his paper,
| The Commoner. Mr.. Bryan comments
at considerable length on the recent
interview which Senator Vest, of Mis-
souri,, gave to the Kansas City Times.
In this interview Mr.. Vest pointed out
/ how, in his opinion harmony in the
! Democratic party could be secured.
With some of the views of Mr.. Vest
Mr.. Bryan agrees, and with others he
does not.
For instance, Mr.. Bryan does not
think that the free silver issue should
be dropped. Mr.. Vest took the posi-
ton that the immense output of gold
in recent years had practically settled
the silver question for the present. Mr..
Bryan finds fault with Mr.. Vest be-
cause he said nothing about govern
ment by injunction, and made no ref
erence to the question of paper money.
He also points out that an income tax,
which Mr.. Vest favors. is more popu-
lstic than the free coinage of silver,
and has many strong opponents in the
Democratic party.
III the course of mis- article MIR. Bry-
an says: 1.-The Senator Is very anxious
to secure harmony, but he will find that
there can be no harmony without the
surrender of every essential principle
of Democracy The men who voted
the Republican ticket on account of
the silver plank are as a rule opposed
to the income tax and are also opposed
to any antitrust legislation. They are
in favor of national banks of issue, and
are also in favor of government by in
junction. Even on Imperialism many
Of the Gold Democrats have no fixed
or definite convictions. In fact, the
only way to harmonic with the reor-
ganizers is to allow them to control
the organization and write Republi-
can platform. How much is Senator
Vest willing to give up in order to
bring the gold corporation element
back?"
1t is clear from this that Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Vest are not agreed as to the
course that ought to be pursued by
the Democratic party when it next
pies. Mr.. Vest wants to adopt a course
that will harmonic the Democratic
party. Mr.. Bryan does not want any
concessions made. He believes in
standing squarely by the Kansas City
platform. He thinks that to bring the
Gold Democrats back into the party
it would be necessary to permit them
TO write the platform.
But will Mr.. Bryans leadership in
this matter be followed? 1t does not
look SO now. 1t is true that the DEM
ocrats of Iowa Endorsed the Kansas
City platform by small majority, but
that state is hopelessly Republi-
can. On the other hand the Democrats
of Ohio, Maryland, Virginia and Penn
sylvania have said practically that that
platform must be revised before an
other national campaign is undertaken.
At present Mr.. Bryan does not seem
to be leading. his party.
