TripletS in Kansas.
Gov. Stanley's Offer of Silver
Cups for Them Discloses a Sur
prising Crop

Tobeka, Kan, May 1-Gov.
Stanley confessed today that he
made Il very foolish offer month
ago, when he agreed to give a
solid silver mug to all tripIets
born In Kansas during hi, second
administration. Five fond mothers
have already secured from the
governor fifteen silver cups, and
today's mail brought another let
backed up with the affidavit of A
G Dunlap, of Crawford county,
that two sons and daughter were
born to his wife two weeks ago.
The salary for the governor of
Kansas is $3. 900 year, and at
the rate that tri plets are being
reported, much of this sum will
be used in the purchase of silver
cups. The governor fears that he
may be deceived in this triplet
business, and as necessary pre-
caution he has demanded the cer-
tiicate of the attending physician
along, with the affidavit of the
parents.

Sigsbee and other naval dignitaries who received invitations were unable to attend.
 The ceremony of christening the ship was performed by Miss Mary Preble Anderson, of Portland, Me, a descendant of the Preble family, that has added fame to the naval honors of the country.
 The Christening.
 All was in readiness as Miss Ander- son stepped upon the stand erected at the bow of the hull. As the last timber that held the ship was sawed in twain and the vessel began to move, Miss Anderson struck the bow of the Maine blow with the bottle of champagne and formally christ ened her. As the vessel slid off the ways a great shout went up, and ev- cry steam craft in the vicinity began the footing of whistles.

Buffalo, N. T., July 29.-The attempt of the Midway shows to open for busi- ness yesterday was a failure. The first show to announce that it was ready for business was the Indian congress.

SHAMROCK II. SETS SAIL.
Sir Thomas Iipton's New Cup Challenger Leaves GOurocIs, Sec land, for
 American Waters.

Gourock, July 26.-Shamrocll H., ac- companied by tLe Erin, sailed at 10:20 a. m. for New York. Great enthuusi- asm was displayed as the challenger departed.
 Capt. Sycamore desired to go out under canvas, and he was favored with light oasterly wind, sufficient to keep the flags streaming in the di- rection the yachts had to sail. The challenger cut a strange figure with her stunted spars and scanty canvas as she lay ready to start.
 At ten o'clock Sir Thomas Upton and MT. Watson, the yachts designer, boarded her, and a few minutes later the challenger's moorings were slipped, her headsails broken out, and Shamrock II. started on her voyage across the Atlantic. Thousands of persons gathered along the shore and on the pier at Gourock, and greeted the yachts departure with a great outburst of cheering, again and again renewed. Hats and handkerchiefs were waved, guns roared and steam whistles ano sirens shrieked. The Shamrock's crew were all mustered on deck and, led by Sir Thomas, gave a hearty response 10 the greetings. For miles along the shore crowds occupied every vantage point, and the cheers passed from group to group until the challenger, with her racing flag at the masthead, and the Erin, with the Stars and Stripes flying at her fore, disappeared from sight.
 Sir Thomas Lipton remained aboard the challenger until she was off Cumbracs, when he returned on a tug. Before leaving he addressed
