GEORGIA ROOM AT RICHMOND.
Miss Katherine stiles Work for the
Confederate Museum.

Miss Katherine c. stiles, vice regent for
the Georgia room of the Confederate Mu-
scum at Richmond, has just written an
interesting report of the work done for
the room during 1899. She says:
The Georgia Room began the year with
small balance on hand, and received,
through our most efficient regent, contrl-
buttons from the d. C. chapters of Gaines
vile. Augusta, Savannah, Quitman, Car
tersvll,e, and also the u. d. c. of Ga.
This kindly help reduced the debt to the
museum TO 81, but could not cancel en-
tirely, as it was necessary to have made
a bracket, with twelve leaves of double
gloss, in which to place manuscript, ETC..
and the running expenses Of the room,
though small, took some OF the money
sent.
During the past year the Vice Regent
finished the gathering of papers, letters,
etc, on the John Brown execution, and
also secured an engraving of painting
by an Irish artist, which was probably
the origin of the story of John Brown
and the negro baby. AL of which is now

THIRD TEETH FOR AGED WOMAN.
Doctor Thought the Pain of Cutting
Was Neuralgia.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Trenton, N. j., Jan 27.-Cutting teeth at
the age of So years is an unusual thing,
but Mrs. Dorothy Ward Green of No. 2S1
Walnut avenue, this city is proud of two
brand-new grinders.
Mrs. Green suffered several days with
a severe pain in the face. The family ply
stefan pronounced it neuralgia, and pre-
scribed the usual remedies for that COM
plant, but they did no good, and finally
Mrs. Green abandoned them and got what
comfort she could out of hot applications.
A few days ago a friend examined her
mouth and declared that two teeth were
trying to cut their way through the gums
The diagnosis was correct.

SHAMROCK II. TAKES TRIAL SPIN

Friendly Sons of st. Patrick Guests
OF Sir Thomas Upton Aboard
the Steam Yacht

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-The fourth trial
spin of Shamrock II in these waters.
sailed today, was not attended with any
exciting incidents. The yacht did not go
outside Sandy Hook, as expected. but
sailed from Southwest Spit buoy TO
staten Island twice during the four hours
she was out covering a distance of
about thirty miles. Sir Thomas Upton
was not on board nor was Designer
Watson. The yachts mainsail was
holsted by 1890, and ten minutes later
the same club topsail that wars set yes
terqay was sent up. II took only eight
minutes to set, showing smartness on
the part of the crew in hauling the sail
The wind was light from the southeast
al this time, and when the yacht tilied
away and headed for the Southwest Spit
buoy she was only travelling at six
knot gait. Easing sheets to port as she
entered the channel Capt Sycamore
headed her straight for Staten Island,
giving her good full The steam
yacht Erin meanwhile had taken on a
number of the members of the Friendly
Sons of St. Patrick, WAC had been
brought TO Sandy Hook by the police
boat patrol. At the Highlands she
picked up some others who had come
down on the Sandy Hook boats, and she
now followed Shamrock up the channel
to the northward TO the delight of the
guests on board who had their first view
OF the cup challenger through the cour-
tesy of Sir Thomas Upton. Every pas
senger steamer saluted the yacht as she
sailed at almost steamboat speed up tha
bay. Capt. Cameron, of the steamship
Teutonic outbound passed Stapleton S
l., just as the yacht luffed up and came
to the port tack for the beat back to
the hook. Standing out as close as pos
s1ble IN the steamers course Capt. Syca-
more then tackled back to starboard
right in the Narrows, while the big liner
saluted with her whistle and dipped .ler
ensign. The Erin replied, ana in add
ton hoisted the signal flags signfying
pleasant passa age" to which the leu
tonic replied success"
Three lacks brought Shamrock
abreast of Coney Island, and from there
down to the Southwest Spit it was a
long stretch close hauled on the port tack
She was able TO lie her course easily
in the smooth water and she passed the
buoy at 1:25. She had covered the first
half in one hour ana five minutes against
strong tide and the second nalf in
just fifty minutes. This was considered
by the experts to be very good work con-
sidering the breeze she had. After a bit
of maneuvering Capt. Sycamore jibed
her and started back over the same
course with somewhat lighter breeze and
with exactly the same sail that the yacht
had carried in yesterdays spin. This
time she only went to Craven Shoal buoy,
about mile outside the Narrows, and
then turning around she made another
long stretch on the port tack to the Spit
buoy, where she quit for the day. Sham
rock lowered ner club topsail soon after
passing the Southwest Spit buoy. and
at $3.50 was made fast to her moorings

JUDGES WANT TESTIMONY.

have difficult task to decide the protest
mace by Capt. w. l.. Davis, of the yacht
Anita, against Minnezitka. of White Bear

for the Green Lake challenge cup. Min
nezitka ran into Anita just before cross
ing the line at the start, but after the
starting gun was fired which placed the
yachts in charge of the judges The boats
zitka Won by the close nlargain of seven
teen seconds. Mr.. Davis at first stated
that he would lay no claim to the cup
but later filed formal protest claiming
the cup by reason Of the foul alleged His
first idea. he is reported to have said
was to have the question involved settled
by ruling that would be regarded as
competent by yachtsmen.
The protest filed, there was nothing for
the judges to do but to withhold the
awarding of the race and take testimony
in the case. They have placed the limit
for hearing the two parties at Sept 2.
Thus far they have not heard from the
Minnezitka people.
After next YEAR the races of the Inland
Lakes Yachting association Will all be
held on Lake Winnebago. At least that
Is the probability. The regatta next year
will be held at PeWaukee nen the clubs
will pool, as they do now only 20
greater extent, and fit up the Oshkosh
club house and environments for the ben
efit of the number of people who will at
tend the regatta and the boats that will
be present. Each club now puts $40 into
the common regatta fund. Under the
new rule, which seems to meet the ap-
prevail of most of the members of the In
land Lakes association each club viii put
in $50 Lake Winnebago has proved a
very popular place for the holding of re-

The cream of Minnesota golf players
will battle for honors at Winona The
Twin City players are not without hopes
of bringing back a little piece off the
top" With Doran and other strong St
Paul men, Billy Lawhead, of Minneapo-
lis, and other good average players. such
expectations are well justified. Law
head has shown wonderful development
this season. and If there is any one in
the Twin City aggregation who can be
relied upon to come dangerously near
the championship he is the man. If he
plays up to his usual form at Winona.
his friends will not be at all surprised
to see him carry off the cup.
Preliminary play for the s. P. Friend
cup commences at the Town and Coun-
try club Saturday. Sixteen players must
qualify. and the score must be lis or
greater.
