All is ready for the first heat of the international yacht race, and it will come off to-day if the weather is right and if nothing else happens to prevent it. The betting in New York is decid- edly in favor of the Columbia, and there is not little talk in favor of the Shamrock The result of the measur- ing of the yachts has given the Sham rock talk much encouragement. So- called experts had variously figured the allowance that the Shamrock would be obliged to give the Columbia at from one to two minutes. Only here and there could any be found who would concede that the allowance would be less than one minute. Now that the al lowance has been cut down to not quite three-quarters of a minute, the Shamrock shouters are more vociferous than ever.
 Pay your money and take your choice, or perhaps it would be wiser to guess without paying for the privilege. Some who have been guessing on the copper stocks are convinced that guess with money attachment is not always wise.

 build up some slight commerce between Pitcairn island and Tahiti, believing that 1t would be of advantage to the people of the former island. These lat dergoing a species of degeneration, in consequence, presumably, of too close intermarrying. One evidence of this is the very early loss of their upper front teeth, although, on the other hand, it may be said that when they gre en- gagged in public work they appear to have the strength and endurance need ed to do more than most workingmen would in this country or in Europe. Another defect, due to extreme isola- tion, is the corruption of language. There has been a tendency among them to adopt what may be termed a lan- guage of their own, made up by the careless and clipping use of English words, so that at the present time it is somewhat difficult for the younger members of the community to quickly tn, yr.l.

 From wicked mutineers to devout Seventh Day Adventists is a long step. The story of the Bounty mutiny and its consequences continues to be very one.

The death of the youngest son, Prince
 Waldemar, in 1879, when he had just
 completed his eleventh year, came as
 an even more crushing blow to his
 father and mother. Neither ever ceased to mourn him while life was
 left, and right up to the very end the
 Empress Dowager could not speak the
 child's name without tears in her eyes.
 The parents and children repose to-day
 in the mausoleum erected by the em-
 press to the memory of her husband, in
 the park of Sans Souci. Marble busts
 preserve the features of both children;
 that of Prince Waldemar bears a
 strong resemblance to his brother
 Prince Henry. All accounts agree as
 to his high intelligence and the sweet
 ness and charm of his disposition.
 The grief which follows such bereave-
 ment betrays the home. With prince
 and princess home life was best. | Whether at the Neue Palais or In Ber- | lin or at Wiesbaden town schloss,
 where they spent several winters, or in i that most beautiful old world castle at the edge of the Taurus Hills at Hom-
 burg, they made their life together and
 gathered their circle round them.
 Comparisons are odious, yet some
 times they are inevitable. Contrasted with the interior menage of the old Emperor William the life of the crown prince and crown princess showed an ideal of domesticity. William I and the
 Empress Augusta occupied the same
 palace, Unter Den Linden; the house
 with the famous window and the hide ous furniture. They however, kept to separate floors His majesty had the greatest respect for her majesty, but he did not often go up stairs. The artis-
 tic taste which dominated over the house was execrable; the tourist who chooses to scamper through its ghost
 haunted rooms can see that for him. self. Nor can it savor of disloyalty to suggest that royal inclinations in the matter of art, in this country also, went along the road chosen by the many. Queen Victoria was at one with nine out of every ten of her subjects where pictures were concerned. No books ever interested her much books of a deeper character not at all. The Empress Frederick went with the few, with the "elect," if one may be forgiv- en the use of hateful Word Herself an artist of no mean order. student whose receptiveness and intellectual adaptabillty outstripped the average even of the "elect" she would have presented remarkable figure whatev- CT the circumstances into which she had been born. There can be nothing cynical in the assertion that the gift ed woman who occupies a throne be- | comes twice gifted. Moreover, the em press succeeded to the mantle of Elijah | -her fathers posthumous reputation [ which quickened soonest in Germany. | Except Princess Alice she alone of his | children could appreciate and profit by | his sagacity: and, prince or no prince, | he was among the shrewdest statesmen | of his time. Although his astuteness was too often verified after his death | not to be generally admitted, the all truism of his nature should have won for him wider recognition among those masses which can but notice such pub lie lives as most obviously touch their own beneficently.

A ROYAL LADY.
Empress Frederick an Unknown
 Quantity.

Empress Frederick an Unknown
 Quantity.
 It is singular that, notwithstanding
 what has this month been written in
 the public press about the dead Elm
 press Dowager Frederick, so vague and
 shadowy an idea of her should be the
 result The portraits of her majesty
 lately appearing in the illustrated pa- 1 pers are no whit less deceptive. Her
 photographs at present displayed in
 the shop windows of most of the Ger
 man towns cannot be taken as true guides, especially of late years, when 1 she had become sadly wan and gray and when her face showed the unmis- | takable signs of increasing illness. l There never was a royal parsonage l who took worse; only those who &C., tually saw her can form the faintest picture in their minds of the timid looking, shrinking little woman who formed the modern link between the houses of Guelph and Hohenzollern, and suffered so much in consequence. The unvarnished truth Is that she remained to the end an unknown quan- tity both in the country of her birth and that of her adoption. She left England when she was eighteen. Her public appearances as Princess Royal, save in the train of her parents, posi- lively resolve themselves into the sin gle occasion of her wedding morning. She was at the opera few nights af- ter the announcement of her betrothal and when the audience rose and cheered for her tout of sympathy, she was too shy to come forward and bow her acknowledgements. The queen had to pull her to the front of the box, if one may be permitted the word used gleefully by her late majesty herself in describing the incident. The public understood that she had been for many years a sickly child, whose rearing had long seemed a matter of doubt. How deep were the ties of love that united her with her parents, how great q void in their family life her departure occa- stoned, could not by any possibility be appreciated until many years after the princess royal had left England At times I could be quite cheerful" Queen Victoria wrote in her diary the evening of the day when the young couple sailed from Gravesend for Ger many, but my tears began to flow afresh frequently, and l could not go near Vicky's corridor" 1T think it will kill me to take leave of dear papa" the Princess Royal had said the morn ing of her marriage.

Among the reforms which are in ex- istence nowadays is funeral reform y This reform doesn't make much head way because fashion, pride, and hu- man affection are against it. But once in a while 1t shows signs of life. The latest sign has been manifested in the little town of Sequel, California, where Burial Society has been form ed. Nearly every adult in the town has signed the roll of membership; one of the members has been engaged as undertaken, and another as grave dig ger, The collins are to be made by the undertaken, and are to be plain, though strong and we'll finished. A neat wag- on is to take the place of the conven- tional hearse; the mourners will walk to the cemetery, and the total cost of q funeral is to be about $20. On the oc- casion of a death, each member of the organization is expected to render what assistance he can to the afflicted fam ily. and to attend the funeral.
 Funeral reform isn't making as much progress in Connecticut as constitu- tional reform is, though perhaps it is quite as much needed.

MANY UNHAPPY SP1NI4RDS.

l It is true that the government of | Spain has had good deal to attend to ! lately, but if what the Madrid Epoca
 says is true that government has l shamefully neglected one matter that
 ought to have had prompt and careful attention. It is asserted that more than seven thousand families in Spain are ignorant of the fate of relatives who three years ago were held captives by the Tagalos insurgents in the Philippines. Of the 11,00o Spanish cap tives of the Tagalos, only 4,000 soldiers, women and children have returned to Spain, those liberated by the Yankees, and the remaining 1000 are still in the Philippines, while their families are frantic and powerless to know the fate of these unfortunates If the ministry of war in Madrid will pay no more at tention to the matter than it has the unhappy families are meditating, through previous arrangement with
 
 the Filipinos, to send over two com missioners, chosen from the relatives of the captives, who shall endeavor to as- semble the living and gather all possi- ble" data concerning the dead, taking pains especially to go over the ground in the island of Luzon. Tn order to carry out this project better, they .n- tend addressing a memorial to the American senate, through the wife of Admiral Dewey, the petition to be signed by all the mothers. wives daugh- ters and sisters interested in the mat ter. In this memorial they will peti- tion the senate of the United States to sanction and assist, in the name of humanity, the efforts of the two com missioners in the insurgent camps
 Of course if such a petition is made the help of the United States will be given.
