independence Had Another sail.

BOSTON, June 9.-The Independ-
ence had another short sail in the bay
late this afternoon and the breeze be-
ing only moderate the yacht spread
more canvas than has yet been hoisted.
The sea was smooth and again she
proved her wonderful reaching quail
ties besides showing considerable abil-
ity in windward work. Not only did
she hold well up to the breeze, keeping
within an average of three points, but
she footed quite fast and tackled in the
neighborhood of twenty seconds. The
trial was confined to less than two
hours of actual sailing, most of the
time being spent in wind or reaching
and as yet the yacht has not been sent
dead leeward, it being thought well to
wait for the spinnaker and club top
sail.
There was no accident to-day barring
a slight rent in the mainsail which
rather hindered the setting OF that
great piece of canvas.
The yacht may go out again to-mor-
row afternoon although there is con-
siderable work to be done upon her.

IL . sanitary Crime.
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, April 1.-THE secre-
tary of War has issued an order OF most
po~rtentious gravity to st. Louis regarding
the Chicago drainage canal. BY the or
der the flow of water into the can is
reduced to exactly one-half he amount
required by h Illinois State Law. The
action of the Secretary OF War is taken
at the solicitation Of the Lake Carriers
Association. supported by a large delega-
ton from the Chicago Commercial Club
BY this order the flow of water into
the is to be reduced to 200, 100 cubic
feet per minute The law of Illinois, un-
der which the canal was built, prescribes
that the flow shall be 2O,00 cubic feet per
minute for each 10000 inhabitants of the
sanitary district. This district, by the
census of last year, contains 100000 peo-
pie. Therefore the flow should be 1000
cubic feet instead of half that amount as
ordered by the Secretary of War.
City Chemist Teichman characterizes
the action of the Secretary of Wa as a

at the lives and health of the 100000 peo-

WIFE HID THE WHIsKEY
And Her Husband Did the Rest With
a Revolver.


NEW YORK, April 14.-Mrs. Kate Pitt.
who was shot late last night by her hus-
band, Harry Pitt, is lying at her home
very dangerously wounded. One of the
bullets plowed a deep furrow under her
right eye and another struck her back of
the right ear. Thomas WEIGH, a boy who
did chores about the Pitt home, and who
was also shot by the man, is in a hospital
with a bullet in his abdomen, another in
the left side, and a third in the shoulder.
The surgeons say that Mrs. Pitt may
recover. but there Is very little hope for
the boy. Pitt made a living by selling
sand and stone to contractors and also
carried on a beer bottling business in his
own house, his wife attending to this part
OF II. He was of a quarrelsome disposition
and when he came home about midnight,
tried to get possession of a jug If whisky
which his wife had hidden in the stove,
Her efforts to keep him from the whisky
SO enraged him that he tried to brain her
with a poker. but was prevented by the
Welsh boy. This only added to his fury,
and drawing his revolver he shot his wife
and the boy, and, then going into the next
room, killed himself.

H. G. Is Very Reluctant to
Talk to the Point.
OMAHA, Neb., April 14.-Edward A.
Cudahy said to-day that his going to
Dallas, Texas, would depend entirely
upon the result Of County Attorney
Shields visit to hat city, in connection
derson to completely in the abduction of
young Edward Cudahy last December.
Should it become practically certain that
Henderson was one of the kidnappers, Mr..
Cudahy and his son will leave for Dallas
during the present week, when the young
man will attempt to identify Henderson.
DALLAS, Texas, April 14.-There was a
meeting at the county Jail to-day between
County Attorney George w. Shields, of
Omaha, and H. c. Henderson, who as
serts hat he is one of the Cudahy kid
nappers. This meeting was arranged Sat
urday on a. statement from Henderson to
Shields that he would probably talk after
having consulted his attorneys.
Mr.. Shields said tonight that Henderson
still declined to make a detailed state
ment of his alleged connection with the
kidnapping and that his talk was full of
generalities and had very little of details
that are wanted. He also said that Hen
derson is very cautious as to what he
says about this case, though he will con-
verse volubly IN other subjects connected
with Omaha. Mr.. Shields said it was
probable that E. A. Cudahy and his son
would come to Dallas within the next
few days to see Henderson,.

weaves his own web OF hope.
The common plea that I am as good
as the average Christian translated into
the language of the heart would be-:
81 congratulate thee. o, Lord, on the
possession of jealous Pharasee. whose
righteousness adds glory to thy law
and whose condescension in serving
thee deserves substantial recognition
at thy hands," Such a Pharasee often
enters the church thinking he has con-
ferred a great honor upon the cause OF
Christ by enlisting and expects all
other members to pay him due respect
as a superior in wealth and intelligence.
A fancied slight will make him the
most contemplate Of all creatures, a
chronic grumbler.
The common plea "That / have done
so much for the church and I'll show
you people whether or not you can get
along without me-" is an entirely
wrong plea. One should not make self
a partial standard. OF all objects of a
man, trust self is the least reliable. II
a man thinks himself something when
he is nothing he deceiveth himself.
When we try to compare Il hearts and
life by Gods standard then we will cease
to exact self and cry out "God be mer.
ciful to a sinner" The sinner that
trusts in self will find bitter disappoint-
ments. and will find he has put his
trust in only a spiders web too slight
to hang a single hope upon. Before it
is too late take warning, and build your
