Because Government Owes Them
 They Stamped on Medals.

London; July 27.-Members of the Imperial yeomanry made a scene this morning at headquarters by throwing their war medals on the floor and stamping upon them.

READY FOR THE FINAL RUN
New York Yacht Club Was
 Early on Deck.

 Early Morning-The SIoops and
 Schooners Were Given the Signal

 tion Not Injured and is Ready for
 the Race Once More.
 Vineyard Haven, Mass, July 27.-Al- though thoroughly weary after yester- days long battle with the fckle wind and calm the New York Yacht club rae ing contingent were early on deck to- day looking for a breeze to take them back to Newport on the final run of this years cruise. Those who came out early enough found the wInd coming from the northeast, rather light to be sure, but still sufficient to send the yachts to the start provided it held. It was, however. the same kind of q breeze that yesterday took the boats out of Newport harbor only to leave them rolling about later, miles off shore. Still, the sky was clear and the air soft and cool so that when the sails were hoisted and preparations made for the run there seemed some prospect that the thirty-four miles from the start at West Chop to the finish at Brenton's Reef IiGhtship would be made in fairly good ime.
 Although the steam yacht fleet is a large one very few of the sailing yachts were in the harbor when the commo- dore ordered the fleet away, as only a small number of those which started yesterday managed to reach here, even long after dark
 At a. m., the wind was blowing five miles an hour and gave some indf- cation of increasing.
 The fleet got under way at about S:3O, but as it took some little time to reach the starting line, the prepara- tory gun was not fired until 9 o'clock The starting gun for sloops was fired at 9:1O, the Virginia crossing first The handicap gun, five minutes later, start ed the scho0ners. In the second class the Katrina crossed first, with :he crgmal cup winner America second. The wind was almost north and was blowing at the rate of fine knots.
 Bristol, R. l., July 27.-After having determined as the result of a thorough examination of the Constitutions un- i derbody that she had sustained no ma terial damage by striking a reef dur | ing the race from New London Thurs day, W. P. Duncan ordered the craft lowered on the railway at daylight this morning with the intention of floating her so as to reach Newport some time this forenoon. The tide however was not sufficiently high and it was decid- | ed to hold until the water is at it's | height carly i'll the afternoon.
 An examination of the boat revealed a slight dent in the starboardside of the ballast fin, well down towards the base, and few plates were roughed a little from contact with the sunken ob- | ject The dent was not repaired but | the plates were smoothed and the craft is practically ready for racing again.
 At midnight last night the bowsprit, which had been taken out in the even ing, was put back in it's place, and the boat lowered a little on the railway. No attempt was made to clean the un- derbody as that might give the Con- stitution an advantage over the Colum- bia in the coming races.

First Meeting to Be Held at Roton

The first annual reunion of the leg islative club of 1901 will be held at the Roton Point hotel in South Nor walk on August s at 1 D. m. It is quite probable that the feasting and speechifying will attract large num- Der of the legislators of the classes of '97 and '99, since the lawmakers of 1901 have cordially invited their prede- cessors to be present.

Look
Girls.

If young girls would look ahead it
would sometimes save them from serious
collision with the men they marry. 1t
is here that ignorance is almost crime.
The young husband cannot understand
it when the wife changes to peevish,
nervous, querulous woman. And the
young wife does not understand it her
self. She only knows that she is very
miserable.
If ever there is a time when nature
needs help it is when the young girl is
adjusting herself to the new conditions
of wifehood. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

A Warning.
Albany Journal.

I took trolley ride over east yester-
day afternoon just by way Of observing
the holiday. Coming back . stranger
to me got on at . small station and
sat down beside me. He was long,
lean and lanky. First he looked out
Of the car window and then at me.
Settling deeper in his seat he suddenly
remarked:
"Do you drink, young man?"
1 said L didn't mind if l did,
He said that he would mind. though.
+" Furthermore" he continued, am
surprised that man of your modest
appearance, with eyes denoting Christ
ian breeding, forehead denoting good
moral character and . month too pure
to Withstand the taint of intemper-
ance, should be willing to indulge in
the flowing bowl"
He was about the meanest man
ever struck. I went to the smoking
compartment and pulled at my pipe.

plasphemous to charge a just God
with responsibility for a crime that
filled the whole civilized world with
horror. Czolgosz is regarded as a
fiend, an emissary of hell, and any
man known to have shared the respon'
sibility of his atrocious deed would be
loathed by all good men as an inhu.
name monster.
Then why ascribe to a benign Provi.
dence. the source of all goodness and
love, responsibility for a crime that
would forfeit the life and consign to
everlasting obloquy any human being
having a part in it! 1t is blasphemy
of the deepest dye. If there is such q
thing as an objectionable sin against
God this must be of that class.

A Parisian countess once paid q
visit to the late M. Gounod at his
villa in st. Cloud. She passed through
the dining-room just Is the remains
of the breakfast were being cleared
away. She saw several cherry stones
lying on a plate before the masters

ing it in her glove. Sometime after
Gounod repaid the visit.
The lady, smiling and blushing'
showed him brooch containing the
cherry stone set in brilliants, and re.
lated the origin OF the stone.

SOUTH SEA PARADISE.
Where Preponderance Of Women Is OaIy
Sourcs Of Trouble.

Where Prsponderance Of Women b OaIy
Source Of Trouble.
A late report from the British colon.
ial Office gives q quaint and delightful
picture of life in the Pitcairn islands,
in the South Pacific. These little
islands were first colonized many years
ago BY six mutineers from the ship
Bounty. The colony has now in
creased to more than hundred per.
sons; besides populating the neigh
boring island of Norfolk. The former
mutineers have become q prosperous
Christian community, living under
almost ideal conditions. According To
the colonial report, disease is unknown
on the islands. The men work from
5 o'clock in the morning until 2 in
the afternoon on public enterprises.
The government consists OF firm and
able President, Mr.. Mccoy, and seven
assessors. The community is self-suf.
ficing, and the soil of the islands pro-
duces an abundance of good things
almost spontaneously.
The whole picture of peace and
plenty is quite idyllic to come out ol
90 staid and matter-of-fact publication
as British Government report. YET
it appears that even the Pitcairn isl
anders are not quite content. Theil
trouble is somewhat akin to that
which disturbed the original Garden
OF Eden. Phere is too large q prepon'
derance of men. The colonists have

Chamberlain to correct this unfortu.

TREASURE TROvE.
Lake ChampIain's Old Treasure Ship.
N " World

Several problems of considerable del.
icacy have been presented by the re.
covery, few years ago. of 10000 SOW
ereigns from an Enelishsloop that has
been lying since 1777 At the bottom OF
East Bay. Lake Champlain, says the
New York Times. The treasure was
sent from Quebec for use in paying
Burgoyne's troops, and the vessel was
scuttled by its captain, one johnson,
when he was attacked by a superior
force of Yankee soldiers in retreat af-
ter the reverse at Hubbardton.
There was afterward some suspicion
that Capt. johnson removed and ap-
priated the treasure before he san K
the sloop, but his honesty is at last
vindicated. With the course of the
years the sloop was covered with silt
brought down by q neighboring river,
but this spring unusually high water
washed much of the deposit away and
left portion OF the wreck exposed.
Hr. George B. West, a civil engineer
turned the course OF the stream, did .
little work with pick and shovel, and
then with charge Of dynamite broke
epen the old hull. In the cabin he
found a few muskets and an iron
chest, and in the latter were the SOY.
