day for n Spin.

Newport, R. l., July Tt was a day of satisfaction on board the new yacht ing champion, the Constitution. of resignation on the Columbia, and of contemplation but still of hopefulness on the Boston yacht Independence, so badly defeated in yesterdays race. on shore, however, every one discussed the race from all sides, but principally with reference to the unexpected showing or the Independence. It seemed to be the general opinion among those yachts men who watched the race closely that the sluggishness of the CroWninsh1eld boat was due to some extent to the un- certainty of the wind, some little time after the start, and that the true worth of the yacht was not brought out.
 On board the Boston boat not a man was cast down, the overwhelming de- feat being attributed solely to hard luck Said one of those on board dur ing the race: we know that the h. dependence can sail, and sail fast for we have seen her do it, and we believe
 that yesterdays i'll luck attended her from the very start"
 Captan Half Is quoted as expressing similar views to Mir. Lawson when the
 latter came aboard last night after the
 race, and tonight all hands on the Boston boat are looking forward eager- ly and confidently to to-morroW's con- test. when over triangular course the Independence is expected to show her great reaching powers, provided Of course there is any kind of breeze. It was also pointed out that under the America's cup conditions yester- days contest would have been declared no race, the usual time limit of five hours and a half having been exceeded, but those on the Independence did not make any excuses on that basis
 This afternoon considerable ballast was taken out of the Independence, as was also some of the furniture, appar- ently to make her a little more tender | for the breeze in to-morrow's race. Yes | terday she appeared to be too heavy and acted very stiff, it being hard to get a l lift on her

The steel engraved plate from which
has been printed every commission to
naval officers for the last fifty sixty
years has seen its last service, having
become too much worn for further use,
and will now be laid away with the
sacred relics of the navy department.
1t has been noticed for some time that
the commissions printed from this
plate were becoming less clear cut, and
when Capt Sigsbee received his last
commission his comment on the sub
ject to Secretary Long induced that Of
fetal to take up again the matter for
consideration. After lengthy discus
sion Secretary Long sent for the Of
fcials of the bureau of engraving and
instructed them to take a copy of the
old plate as nearly as the rules of that
bureau in reference to counterfeiting
would permit. The engravers wished
to change the plate by putting new and
improved guns in place of the old
Long Tom in vogue in 1S3O-40, and
the new warships for the old sailing
vessels, but to this neither Secretary
Long nor his assistants would agree.
They wished to preserve the style of
engraving of the period in which it
was made, and retain all the old ear
marks of that date. As the matter
now stands the new plate Will be an
exact reproduction, save for some slight
changes of shading and The
old plate was made by the American
Bank Note Company in New York in
1880 or 1910, and is considered one of
the finest and most artistic pieces of
engraving belonging to the govern
ment. Having seen service for the he
roes of both the Civil and Spanish
American wars, as well as other men
Of long and faithful service, it is re-
garded with reverence by the navy de-
partment- The eagle at the top OF the
commission has lean and hungry
look, and not the appearance of being
near relative even of the well-fed,
pompOuS-1ooking bird that adorns the
bank notes and government docu-
ments of today The flags, guns, boats
and other naval equipments are all
typical OF the period Of the navy sixty
years ago, while the figures of Nep-
tune and Nereid, blowing the waves
with their star horses, beautifully con-
ceived and executed, make it one OF
the most elaborate and imposing docu-
ments of the Washing
ton Star.

During the last century the art of
war has shared in all improvements
But improvements in the art of war
have not reduced the cost to those in
dulging in it; they have rather in
creased it. This fact, though, has not
Iessened the number OF wars in the
nineteenth century. No other ten de-
cades of history cover SO many great
conflicts Recall the NapoIeonic wars
of the early part of the century; the
Crimean war in the middle our own
great Civil war, the Franco-Prussian
war, the Turco-RuSsian war, the
ChinO-Japanese war: and then read
the names of some of the little wars:
in Spain and Portugal, our war with
Mexico, Great Britain'S wars with
China and with the tribesmen and hill
men that Kip1ing tells Of, the Spanish
American war only three years ago;
Ita1y's war in Abssinia. Think of the
Seminole war, and the yearly conflicts
with the Indians. There is doubt
Of the century having been war-Iike,
and its total cost is very close to $780,
DOG, 10000 Just how much is a bill
lion? 1t is one thousand millions; but
that fact is not expressive There are
only 3.155. 673, 500 seconds in a century
that is, six dollars have been spent
On war for every second of the cen
fury. If we take Archbishop Usher's
chronology, and consider the world to
be 1904 years old. we find that the ma
tons have spent on war during the
nineteenth century at the rate of six
dollars a minute since the creation.
The most costly building in the world
Is the Church of San Pfetro in Vatf-
cano, known to as St Peters, Rome.
It has cost not less than $4,000, 600
since its foundation stone was laid, yet
nearly three hundred other churches
Of equal cost could be built out OF
what the world has spent on wars dur

As its stars we gaze.

Furthermore, our ocean-borne com
merce, in the absence of American
ships in which to transport 1t, Is at
the mercy of Europe An outbreak OF
war; the turning loose of a fleet of
commerce destroyers by the enemies of
Great Britain, would put an instant
stop to American exports; because we
are dependent upon British ships for
the mai or part of our ocean tranSpor-
tatiOn. Sound considerations of pub
lie policy, not the pecuniary interests
of any group of American capitalists,
are behind the proposed legislation to
aid in building up American deep wat
er shipping. The interests of foreign
ship-owners are largely behind the Op-
position to that meaSure.-Seatt1e

The young men who have been Sc
1ected to be examined for transfer from
the volunteers to the regular estab-
lishment, we'll those candidates
who receive appointments from civil
life, are coming against a pretty severe
examination whenever they sub
jected to the prescribed tests, says the
Washington correspondent OF the New
York Times. These young men must
first show that their military record,
if they have one, is good; that is of
the first consideration. If in this the
men can pass muster, is <'aH right in
mathematics, and makes a decent av-
erage in army and drill regulations, he
may depend upon getting his commits
sion. Then there is a very rigorous
physical examination, as thorough and
exacting as that to which recruits are
subjected. The examination to ascer-
tain the educational qualifications OF
the candidate include English gram
mar, mathematics with algebra, the
gree containing one unknown guam
tity; the of logarithms. the eIe-
ments OF plane geometry, plane trig-
onometry and surveying Added to.
this the candidate must tell what he
knows in answer to questions in geo
graphy, outlines of general history and
history of the United States, the con-
stitution and the elements of inter
national law Physical aptitude and
moral character are considered. No
candidate will be passed who shall not
have attained an average of 65 per
cent in each subject of examination,
and a general average of at least &c
per cent

There is much excitement in one of
the villages on the Bosporus because
of the sudden disappearance of all the
street dogs. The matter is likely to
have serious consequences, owing to
the fact that a young French lady
regarded some of these dogs as her
special pets and guardians from rob
bers at night. A few doors off lives
an English doctor, whose house was
overrun by rats and wild cats, and to
rid himself of these he gave his cook
some poison to put in the kitchen one
night The poison was highly success
full but. unfortunately, the remnants
of the poisoned food were put out
side the street door by the cook for
the dustman to remove. The street
dogs came along and ate 1T, and then
went and laid down at the doof Of
their lady friend and died She is very
indi gnant, and has told her story to
all the Turks in the neighborhood,
who are always Mortified at the kill
ing Of dogs The doctors cook has
been arrested by the police, who are
holding an inquiry into the matter
1t is curious to note that by the OF
toman code a dog is unclean and not
allowed to enter house, yet for kill
ing one you are summoned for tax

the press of the country is now inform
ing it's readers of the reciprocity plank
that was in the last Republican plat

1900, not the platform of other years.
President Mckinley was elected on
that platform. and he may be relied
upon to uphold it, matter what
Jules Seigfried may think he said or
may say he thinks. William Mckinley
is for protection and for protective
reciprocity, not for free trade in any

EviI. of the military step

DR.. Colin, of the French army, has
published in La Salud the results OF
his investigations regarding the eff
fects which the regulation military
step of the disciplined soldier pro-
duces on his health and on his con
stitution- The regularity OF the mill
tary step causes an indefinite repeti-
ton of the shock affecting the bones
and the brain which is much more
prejudicial than that produced by an
irregular walk. Dr. Colin attributes to
the regular and uniform repetition OF
this shock ON the same parts OF the
body much of the pains and diseases
peculiar to the soldier During the
march of single day this shock is
repeated &c, 900 times, and the strong
est men, who can walk long dis
lance without fatigue when using the
ordinary step, yield to the tension
caused by the military step after two
or three days

HEALTH BETTER Than WEALTH

II Is publicly announced that John
D. Rockefeller, who has an income Of
$50, ooo, 600 and is near to being bill
lionaire aud probably the richest man
in the world, is a physical wreck He
is almost unrecognized by old friends
who have not seen him before in year
he cannot play ON his golf links; he
cannot sail in his yacht; he cannot eat,
drink and be merry, even in lawful
way and is confined to diet of crack
ers and milk. He would probably give
hundred millions to any professor Of
the Chicago university who could re-
store his health, just as MIR. Rouss
offered a million to any man who
could restore his sight. But this
melancholy fate is not peculiar to
the very rich There are except
ions, and some Of the very poor have
rebellious stomachs as we'll as empty
pockets There, for instance, is Uncle
Russell Sage who, at more than 50
years of age, has uncommon vigor of
body and mind and a sound digestion
and does not let his puts and calls dis
turb his slumber. 1t may be that if
Mr.. Sage had $500. OOo,O instead of
800, 600, 900, he might have collapsed
like Rockefeller, but maybe not A
great deal depends upon a mans con-
stituiion, heredity and temperament.
We do not know that any particular
moral can be drawn from this case fur

your financial circumstance, is . price,

lost, It may not be replaced with all
