 sent after the car. When they arrive& where the car war, a fight ensued pe- tween them and an American crew. One Italian was knocked down with club by an American. The Italian drew A knife and stabbed his assailant. Inen they fled to their camps. SupseQuehtIy an Italian foreman was attacked ana badly beaten.

WON BY COLUMBIA.
A Sound Beating Administered to
 the Constitution.

Oyster ay, L.. l.. Aug. 22.-The Co., lumbia gave the CoDstitution good sound beating today twice around the Sewanewka triangular course. On cor rected time the older boat won by 2 minutes and 5 secords. and on elapsed time by minute and 39 seconds. But the figures do not represent the decis- iveness of the Columbia's victory, for as matter of fact she beat the new boat twice The first time around the triangle of fourteen and three-fourth miles the Columbia gained over five minutes. Then a shift of wind on the short leg across the sound put the Con- stitution on even terms when a new race was practically started, the breeze now coming true again. This time the Columbia gained over minute and O half. It was a day of fluky sound breczes, but If either boat got any ad- vantage from the frequent change in the wind 1t was the Constitution. The new boat did not seem to have any of the speed she has shown in light airs.
 With the international contest less than & month away today's race opens the whole cup defender proposition, and the yachtsmen are guessing again.

SOUND KEEPS FLIES AWAY.
That Is Why Musicians Are Not An- nOyed While They Are
 Playing.

"While listening to an open-air con- cert the other day. said a young man, reports the Philadelphia Record, "I was greatly annoyed by the flies, which were so persistent that could hardly drive them away. I wondered how the musicians, with both hands busy playing, stood them, and I drew near the shell in which they sat to see. To my surprise I found that there was not fly in the shell, and then, to my greater surprise, discovered why this was. The sound waves of the music, rolling with tremendous volume from the shell, kept out the flies. iThe in- sects could not fly against the waves, though they tried hard. Hundreds of them were struggling frantically to reach the shell, but they might as well have tried to fly against a tornado as against those sound waves. Thus pro- tected, inclosed by magic curtain made of their own music, the musicians played Wagner, unannoyed by the sticky and pestering flies"

CUNNING PET MONKEY. :
The Clever Creature Kissed the Baby Instead of Pulling It's
 Ears

Jack, my pet monkey, is full of mis- chief. One day he got into the kitchen. and when the cook was not paying par ticular attention to him he jumped up on the table, seized pan of water that was standing there and emptied its contents on the sleeping cat, says a writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer. He never lost an opportunity to play a joke on old Tab, or on the younger cats, either, for that matter. He often succeeded, when he was caged, in en- ticing the cats close to the bars, when he would seize their ears and pull them until the victims fairly squealed.
 This habit of his was well known to a neighbor of mine, and once, when she was visiting me with her baby, the little one, unnoticed for the moment, crawled up to the cage to have good look at Jack. The mother saw it and rushed to rescue the child, but Jack was too quick for her and had grasped it by the shoulders before she could reach the spot. He had no intention of pulling it's ears, however, for he drew it gently to the bars and kissed it. right on the face.

4 veillance. When he died she came to the United States, going to Minneso- ta, whither many Cornish miners, with whom at St. Ives she had been closely acquainted in earlier days, had emigrated, and there looked after their spiritual and temporal welfare in the village of Virginia. She vis- tied hospital and jail >there, and preached temperance with some eff feet. But bad times came on; the mines were closed, and the popula- tion dispersed.
 After her return to England Miss Hobhouse busted herself in unpaid council. She wrote an article on the conditions of the women who work in the great dustyards of London, and also one on the housing of Single women. The war in South Africa in- terested her greatly, and she found herself in sympathy with the Friends who make it one of their duties to alleviate the horrors of every war. She learned something of the customs and language of the Boers from Dutch residents or vis- itors, sand eventually determined to go out and personally distribute the clothing which had been collected from pitying souls. Her unofficial re- port, which has caused so much com ment, was originally written in the shape of letters to her nearest rela- lives
