NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-Commenting
upon the International yacht races. the
London correspondent OF the Tribune
gays:
There is a marked subsidenee OF in
:erest in the races. The comment now
centers uDon the even chance by which
the strong and steady wind prevailing on
Monday was lost and the yachts were
remanded to feeble puffs and light airs
and denied the opportunity OF showing
their real merit. The English yachts
men make no secret OF their own pre-
juiice against the Sandy Hook courses,
as fraught with uncertainty and dis
appointments.
They wax eloquent in explaining the
benefits which will be derived from the
CAPTURE Of the cup by Sir Thomas LIP
ton since conditions OF the International
contest win be transformed by the
transfer Of the scene OF rivalry to Brit
,sA waters, where the challenger will
have plenty OF wind and also the priyi-
lege OF sailing against a fleet in place
of single defender. They forget that
the Vigilant did not have all the wind
tha: she needed in racing on the Clyde

however. when they assert that the
capture of the cup win be followed by
new conditions of racing unlike those

she Sells Her Home and Purchases
Suburban Property

Versatile Mrs. Annie L. Diggs, the
state librarian, is about to essay a new
role. When spring comes along another
year Mrs. Diggs will be leaving public
Office. While not deserving public life,
she will enjoy more privacy. The little
woman who has fought so many political
battles with reformers in the ranks of
the Populist and Fusion forces now pro-
poses to turn farmer She IS making
beginning a year ahead in order to be
well practiced.
Mrs. Diggs has sold her little white
house on West Tenth avenue She has
bought twelve lots at Twenty-drst and
Kansas avenue, back of DR.. Roby's
property These lots are in an orchard
now and this falls in delightfully."- with
Mrs. Digs pet idea. For some time she
has been longing for an idyllic pastoral
avocation, and looking for suitable
spot, half way between a large garden
and a tiny farm, in size, for putting out
in small fruits. Mrs. Digs had several
sites in view. She wanted about twenty
acres, she thought, and for a time 1t
looked as if Highland Park would be
favored and Mrs. Diggs become a ultra
suburbanite. The problem of where to
settle has at last been settled and in
stead of becoming Highland Park
aristocratic farmer Mrs. DiggS will stay
a trifle closer to the home of commerce
on roaring Kansas avenue up town, as
she spades the warm earth and prunes
her vines under the bright skies ofsunny
Kansas.
Not long ago Mrs. Diggs told a State
Journal reporter, as the legislature was
disintegrating and the members were
being a small farmer was an ideal ex-
istence. She said she was going to get
a. little piece of ground. not far enough
away from the city to be divorced from
public life, yet living a simple country
life and near to natures heart
That is just what I want, said Mrs.
Diggs enthusiastically, "a little place of
a few acres; where 1 can spade the
ground and work among vines and trees.
I would love to have it in small fruits,
and when I leave the state library next
year I mean to carry out my idea. l
intend to sell my little home and buy
such a cosy, rustic place as I tell you
Mrs. Digs has been so overcome by
her idea that she has been unable to
wait and is about to begin her expert
ments at once. Such is the story of the
start of Mrs. Annie Digs farmer.

OVER CHICKEN THEFT.
One Chicago Man Kills Another With
Revolver Shot

Chicago, March 1S.-As a sequel to
chicken theft Charles Binck was shot
and. killed by Daniel Peters. Within ten
minutes after the shooting a. large crowd
gathered at Peters home and threatened
to lynch him, but the timely arrival or
the patrol wagon with policemen pre-
vented any mob violence. The cause of
the quarrel was the theft of Is chickens
from Binck's hen roost. Four of the
missing hens were, it is claimed, found
in Peters chicken coop. Binclz, accom-
panied by his four-year-old daughter,
started out to get a warrant for Peters
arrest When near Peters house he met
Peters and accused him of stealing the
chickens Witnesses say Peters drew
his revolver and fired four shots at
Binck, all taking effect. While the fatal
shots were being fired BinclS's baby girl
clasped her fathers knees too frightened
to move. Her clothing was covered with
the life blood of her father.
