Mr.. Thomas Lawsons decision to abide
by the rules of the New York Yacht Club
ard enter his racer Independence in the
trials at Newport under the name of a
member Of that organization is most sat
isfactory result of the recent controversy
OH the subject. The principal object Is to
secure the fastest American yacht to COM
pete with the Upton boat in September
whether the defender be built in Bristol
Boston and elsewhere. whether owned by
one man or another, or designed as a re-
suit of club or personal enterprise. 1t is
unfOrt innate that the rules which have
governed the international races hereto
fore have given rise to this unpleasant dis
CuSsOn. but there appears to have been no
decided Discrimination in the past upon the
point of entry under the New York clubs
pennant and the cup has been successfully
defended by Boston creations under the
same conditions is those which Mr.. Law
son now reluctantly accepts. 1t is natural
that Mr.. Lawson. having spent a large
sum on Independence, should desire to race
her under his own name and his own per-
sanal pennant. But the surrender of tech
meal ownership to another in order to Sc
cure entry in the trial races Will not in
the least diminish the public understanding
Oh lHe ownership OF the personal Credlt
for whatever the yacht may do. She will
remain ''I.awsons boat" to the majority of
those who follow the affair, and if she
should be chosen for the defense of the
cup ard should defeat Shamrock in the
great match. the honor will belong to Law
son and his clever designer, Crowningshield.
Now that the controversy has been thus
happily settled. it is in order to praise the
nil Of in
accepting distasteful conditions in order to
secure a place for his craft and thereby to
add to the public interest in the trials and
the subsequent races 1t would have been
unfortunate to find Independence barred by
a technicality, thus causing her quality in
comparison with Columbia Constitution
or Shamrock to remain unknown.

Fighting Over Estates.

Samuel Wood of Long island, when he
died some years ago. left n provision in his
will for the establishment Of a college Of
music, and set aside several hundreds Of
thousands of dollars for that institution.
II is now disclosed that extensive and pro-
longed litigation over the estate has con-
sumed the greater part Of the property, and
that there is little prospect that the col
lege will ever be founded.
At some time in the future the people of
this state may perhaps demand that the
legislature shall take some action to d.
minish the excessive cost Of legal proceed
ings in disputes over wills and estates.
Rightful heirs are often i'll treated and de-
spoiled in such contests, and the REASON

A Simple Phenomenon.

How oft man wakes to find this earth
teeming place of sorrow,
When grim todays are giving birth
To even worse tomorroHs
And man must watch the various Ills
That pass in grim procession.
His bosom with resentment thrills
He wears panied expression.
The statesmen lull our discomfort
With subtle phrase that pleases;
Physicians smile as they invent
New names for old diseases.
And yet these men whose wits profound
Ofttimes begule their brothers
About earths emptiness are found
Complaining like the others.
A cloud is curtained Ger the sky,
The rainy fountain bubbles,
And every friend who passes by
Has naught to tell but troubles.
Life's stream, which sunbeams once would
kiss,
Seems now a sluggish river.
The cause Of 1t is simply this:
Man has 4 torpid liver.

Observance of Memorial Day,


A writer in The Washington Star makes
earnest plea for the proper observance
of Memorial day in the spirit that was orig
inally intended when it was soemnly dedi-
Gated to the memory of the heroic and pa
triotic men who gave their lives for the
Union.
All Of this the Truth indorses most
heartily Memorial day should not be di-
verted from it's solemn purpose by devot-
ing it to games or frivolous amusement of
any kind. 1t is a day sacred to the mem
DRY of the soldier dead and as such should
be observed in the spirit that called it
into existence.
