The length of the chaIlenger's main BOOM the
writer is informed by one of the challenge COM
mttee is 102 feet The perpendicular is not
exactly known but has generally been published
at about 1GO feet But where the challenger
gets a whole lot of advantage is in the i'm
mensey lofty canvas that is untaxed in the
measurement and is above the point at which
the upper end of the tapeline is placed. That
is to say. the length of her cubtopsail extends
so far above her topmasthead that there is u
large area which does not come into the c2cU-
lation at all. This extra upper area is much
larger than in the Columbia which has always
been moderate in the size of her largest kites
The writer has Sir ThOmass word for it that
the length from the deck to the upper ED of the
cubtopsail yard is 1910 feet.
This will make the boats rig ffty-five feet too
high to pass under the Brooklyn Bridge and Sir
Thomas has produced a craft which has the
popularity of possessing the highest reach ever
known in a racing cutter. One charm about tais
large area of canvas is that it is wonderfully
graceful in it's shaping. and without a flaw in
the way it sets for wndward sailing
The beam of the challenger is "a feet and
her overall length is 1877 feet. about six feet
longer than the Columbia. The draught of
water is about the same in both craft-2O feet
ana the great charm OF both boats is their
beauty of line. In the elegance of sail plan the
challenger has admittedly the advantage, but
whether the hull of the foreigner is as fine as
the Columbias for light airs is point which
there is dispute. The Upton boats upper hull
gets down a little deeper in the water than the
Coiumbias, and this may make a difference in
catspaw weather; but the dissimilarity
Will not do the Shamrock any harm when climb
ing out to windward in a fresh wind and sea
way. In this respect the challenger is more like
the Defender. which was victorious in 1893, than
the Columbia, and this perhaps to be ex-
pectcd both the Defender and Shamrock II
are modified and improved forms of the cee-
brated cutter Britannia. which. as designed By
Watson for the Prince IF Wales was the fas;e-t
racer in the world. Shamrock ii has the Britain

For man not yet 43 the output of

of New York, Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, Governor of the State of
New York, Vice President and Presi-
dent of the United States, all within
score of years, is hardly to be expect
ed to have acquired much "iiterary
baggage But in that period Mr..
Roosevelt has published half dozen
serious works in history and biogra-
ply, three original books ol hunting
and rancho life and "a considerable
number of essays, some of them of an
valuable character.
Had he done nothing but write his
hunting books-and lived through the
experiences they relate in so simple
and winning a style-he would proba-
bly, be more widely known in other
lands than any other American save
ono or two. Had he not obscured
his reputation as historian by his
industry i'm making history he would
have distinct place in the circle of
American writer's in that field. 1t re-
mains true, however, that if his life

TIE COUNTY ROLLS.


Crimes unreiressed by law multi
ply criminals. The Carroll county
horrors furnish apt illustration. Ed.
McCray, a negro boy, was suspected of
poisoning a jug of water used by
Lynn Talliaferro and his father, who
were made i'll, and for this was
killed 10y Lynn Taliaferro who was
not troubled for the offense. About
two weeks later Lynn Tuliaferro's
father and mother were brutally
assassinated. With no other evidence
SO far Is developed, except motives of
revenge, Ed. McCray's mother, Betsey
two si,lers and brother with other
negroes were arrested. Upon an in
vestigation conducted by committee
OF winch the judge aud district attor-
uey were members, it wan decided that
there WAS no evidence whatever
against one of the McCray sisters,
Sally Layton, and at most, only
knowledge of the intended crime be-
fore its commission as to the other
three, two of whom had clear proofs
of alibis. Notwithstanding this, the
three were hanged aud Sally Layton
escaped like fate by hurried flight
The lynchers may escape the Jaw; but
been to have brought Ed. McCray be
fore the courts and punished him il
guilty by legal methods. Had this
course been pursued Mr. and Mrs.
Taliaferro would have been living to
day, and had 1t been pursued after
their deaths some fifty or more citizens
of Carroll would not have imbrued
their hands in humln blood under cir
cumstances termed hy laws, divine,
and human, murder. Besides the lynch
ing of the negro girl, the only person
cognizant of the crime who could testi-
fly against others was cut off, thus end
ing the only chance of discovering and
Furnishing the actual murderers of
Mr. aud Mrs. Taliaferro. Crime con
doned begets criminals. Law en-
forced is no injury to but protects,

Mississippi, as rule, has an un-
trameled press. No person or party
can purchase or control the truly
patriotic and truth-loving, God-fear-
ing editor. There is less of favorit-
ism and partisanism than for years
past; and it matters not whether a
man is q distributor of National gar
den seed or q beat constable, leading
business man or a truck farmer, he
must be a man of principle if he
wants adulation or "a word" of
commendation from the papers that
are accountable only to the editors
who conduct them. Perhaps this
righteous spirit of Independence is

The iron horse has been ridden to

horse and long suffering! Il is time
to dismount and feed! This is the
only country in the world where the
free pass system prevails; and it has
become a nuisance and, in some parts,
a drain upon the railroads. Free
passes will go out of existence on all
the railroads of the United States
after Jan. l, 1901, and the pasteboard
tourist will become non est. If the
roads will rigidly enforce this agree
ment made by the trunk lines, the cen
