ACCIDENT TO THE ERIN.
Revenue Cutter Gresham knocks a
Hole in Her Port Quarter.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Sir Thomas Lip
toms steam yacht Erin narrowly es-
capped serious accident to-day, when,
just after the Shamrock and Columbia
had rounded the turn, the United
States revenue cutter Gresham collided
with her.
Both boats were doing patrol duty.
The Gresham in the hands of Com
mander Thomas B. Walker, and the
Erin for the day in charge of Lieut..
John Boedecker of the United States
revenue cutter service. In starting to
clear for the home stretch the Gresham
apparently tried to cross the
bows of the Erin. There was
evidently misunderstanding of
signals by the Gresham, and it was too
late when at last she tried to back out
and the Erin put on full steam ahead
The revenue cutter struck the yacht n
glancing blow on the port quarter thir-
ty or forty feet from the stern. A plate
was bent, some paint rubbed off and
the rail bruised. Inside athwart ship
deck beam was buckIed.
The Erin's small boats were promptly
manned and within a few seconds af-
ter the crash men stood ready to lower
away If necessary, but fortunately it
was not necessary.

to be moved again as members OF the

Hon. B. j. Irwin, Mayor of Washing
ton, Ga, in a recent letter to the
Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus. o.,
says:
81 have frequently used Peruna in
my family and have found IT an ex-
celIent remedy for colds and as "A
tonic. L often recommend it to nay
friends."-B. j. IRWIN.
The politician of all men must needs
be in good health and splendid spirits.
There is nothing so exhaustive to body
and mind as to conduct political cam
paign with the spirit and vim, courage
and intellect that characterize politi-
cal campaign in the United States.
Sometimes these campaigns require
the speakers and managers to sleep in
a different bed every night, eat at diff
ferent hotels every day, travel by day
and speak at night for many months
at time.
No one can endure this strain with
out some remedy to protect them from
the vicissitudes of the climate. Some
thing to insure good digestion and
sound sleep, something to give nerve
and brain the invigoration necessary
to meet such an extraordinary strain.
Peruna is the remedy to meet each
one of these conditions. Perhaps II
would be going too far to say thar
it is the only remedy that will do this
but at least it is the best known
remedy and the best tried remedy and
the remedy recommended by the most
people as exactly adapted to the ex-
posure and exhaustion incident 10
campaign work.
Not only does the politician find II
exactly the remedy that suits his
needs, but the farmer, the housewife,
the clergyman, the clerk. the society
woman and the day-laborer all alike
find Peruna to be not only curative
but preventative.
In this climate where everybody is
liable to catarrh and everybody has il
in some form or other. Peruna has be-
come fixture and like the telephone
and the electric light could hardly be
spared from civilization.

chatham Countrywide Profits Of
the Agricultural Department This
Year Are $4,000 in Excess of the
Previous Year and He Thinks This
Revenue should Be Used for the
Advancement of Agriculture.
Atlanta, Sept. 2S.-The State Agri-
cultural Department for the year end
ing Sept. Is, will have turned into the
treasury more than $4,000 in excess of
the income from this. source last year.
The income of the department is de-
rived from fees from the inspection of
oils and fertilizers. Free of expenses
the commissioner has paid into the
treasury the sum of $47.540.19.
in an interview obtained for the
Morning News, Commissioner Stevens
comes out in favor of three more ex-
detrimental stations. He proposes 20
establish one in each OF the 1our Sec
tons of the state, and # the Legisla-
ture should agree to his plans the
South Georgia station will likely he
located in or close to. Chatham county.
1.-The profits of the agricultural &C.
partment are sufficient to establish
these stations, and they could be run
without one cent additional approLl!a-
ton from the state other than the rev.
enue Of the agricultural department."
said the commissioner. "They would
be of vast benefit to the state. Az they
would afford the opportunity to test
the character of the soil in the different
sections. When the department was
created 1t was an expense. Now 1t is
n source of revenue. 1 think the rev.
enue should be used by the department
to advance the interests of agricul-.
ture."
Mr.. Stevens will make some interest
ing recommendations along this line in
his annual report, which will DC cut
within the next few weeks.

were heading for the outer mark, which
on this occasion, was the tug Edgar
r. Luckenbach, the raft which She
carried having failed to right itself
When put overheard. The wind now
was the freshest of the day. The
shamrock had a lead of at least 400
yards, and as she approached the mark
II was seen that she had handily beat
en- the old defender in the windward
work. She turned in excellent style,
ana with main boom square off to
port, the spinnaker boom was lowered
TO starboard. The Columbia made. an
equally good turn. The official time
at the mark was as follows:
shamrock, 1:25:12; Columbia, 1858.
Their Positions Reversed.
The Shamrock in the beat to wind
ward had thus gained 80 seconds. She
had beaten the Columbia, boat for
boat, but had not overcome the han
dicap of 43 seconds, time allowance,
which under the rules or the New York
Yacht Club, she was compelled to con-
ceoe. There was considerable delay
IN setting spinnakers. The Shamrock
waited apparently for the Columbia,
ana luff1ng out in order to prevent a
blanket. Finally at 1882, the Columbia
broke out her spinnaker, and at the
same time tremendous ball
loon jib. Shamrock smartly followed
suit. In the heavy roll of the sea,
which was now on the port quarter on
the two boats, the main booms trailed
in the water as they lurched to lee
ward. These were tauted up clear of
ahxy hat
set of the mainsails. The stern chase is
a long chase, but slowly the old Co.
lumbia crawled up on the new Sham
rock. AT 2:10 she was abeam, and half
minute later was the leading boat
Slowly she still crept, and at 2:14 was
all of half a length ahead. From that
time on to the finish line she kept in
the lead. The wind was now dropping,
but in spite of her much larger sail
plan the Shamrock could not prevent
the steady though slow gain of the Co
Iumb1a. For nearly an hour the race
continued without further event. Then
at BIS the wind freshened slightly, fill
ing out the immense sails of the Sham
rock. Slowly she crept up and lessened
the gap between her and the defender.
Now she was only half a length be.
hind. Now she was very nearly on even
terms and it became a matter of
doubt as to which boat would first
cross the finish line, less than a mile
away.
Columbia Does the Trick.
1t was the last of many exciting mo-
ments in the contest, for very soon the
Columbia, getting her wind free again,
pulled out and with surprising rapidity
opened up on the challenger and pulled
out lead that left the result no longer
in doubt. She crossed the line a winner
not only on time allowance, but boat
for boat. Time: Shamrock, finish,
3:S1:5S; elapsed time, 4:31 IA; corrected
time 4:31:44. Columbia, finish, 3:31:23,
