A New York Woman Who Didn't Mind
the Heat and Liked the Fruits.
From the New York Sun.
A New York woman spending the summer
in Cuba writes that she has not suffered
on that island. She has passed the month
at Guanajay. a few miles from Havana,
and says of the weather that there have
been no excessively hot days, while all
nights have been decidedly cool, invaria-
bly, calling for blanket as bed covering
1.-The Cubans,' she adds, who have gone
to Buffalo, and there are many, all sigh
for the cool breeZeS of Havana, and up
here at Guanajay the weather Is decidedly
cooler than at the capital Cuba may be-
come summer resort to Americans as well
as winter One.
Life there during the hot months is care
fully regulated to suit the temperature.
Practically nothing is done in the middle
of the day, the long hours of the early af-
ternoon being passed in lazy idieness and
doing within doors. All underwear is of
linen, which is cheap enough in some grades
to make it's use universal. Only linen
bedding is used and the chief diet is the
cooling native fruits.
The New York woman described her
visit to market on the morning she wrote
and her purchases consisted of, pineapples
ripe and luscious, at the rate of three for
10 cents; alligator pears, two for five cents
saw in the states; the finest variety Of ba-
nanas. 20 cents a huge bunch. with man.

INAUGURATION DAY.
Public Opinion Runs Strongly in
Favor of n Change.

Public opinion RunS strongly IN
Favor of a Change.
From the Duluth News-Tribune.
For~more than a century those Ameri-
cans who have had occasion to attend the
ceremony of the Inauguration of a Presi-
dent of the United States on March have
lamented that a season of usually inclem-
ent weather should have been selected for
SO important political event. Now, for
the first time. an agitation is afoot looking
to a change. The committee which had in
charge President McKinleys second in
auguration last March has taken the mat
ter in hand. This committee is composed
of leading senators and members OF con-
gress of both parties and prominent resi-
dents of Washington. The plan is to post
pone the inauguration until later in the
spring.
George Washington was inaugurated
President the first time on April 80, and
Senator Allison and others favor a return
to that date. Senator Hanna is quoted in
favor of May 80. Senator Elkins advocates
the first Tuesday after the first Monday In
May, according to which plan the 1naugu-
ration might come as late as the eighth of
the month. The general sentiment of the
public men consulted is such as to warrant
the expectation that change in the law
will be attempted with some chance of sue
cess at the next session of Congress.
1t is by no means exclusively on account
Of desire for finer weather during inaug-
uration ceremonies that proposal to
change the law finds such favor. The sec
ond or short session Of Congress barely
three months in length is all too brief for
the demands of public business. Important
legislation is often hurried through, and
sometimes crowded out entirely. The ex-
tension of the session a couple of months
would conduce to the better performance
of the duties of Congress.
Our statesmen differ widely as to the
means of accomplishing this change. Some
hold to the opinion that the present date
for the inauguration of Presidents and the
beginning and ending of sessions of Con-
gress can be changed by simple vote of
Congress itself. Others think a constitu-
tional amendment necessary, and that is
the method most certain to give satisfac-
ton. though the two-thrds vote of both
houses of Congress and the assent of three
fourths of the state legislatures is for
mida BILE obstacle to overcome

THE BALCOMBE CLAIM.
An American Family Seeks Title to
English Lands.


English Lands.
From the London Mail August %.
Balcombe is a quiet picturesque old sus-
sex village, about thirty-three miles from
London. All the same it may be the scene
of another American invasion. According
to New York paper an American family
named Balcoms or Balconies intends to
lay claim to every inch of ground in the
village. The same paper states that the Bal
combes are descendants of people who went
to the United States before the year 100.
They are now discussing their plan of ac-
tion in connection with the Sussex village,
and their deliberations will be published in
book form and will constitute the basis of
the claim to be filed with the British gov
ernment." They estimate the value of the
land which they claim at f40O, ,OOO
At Balcombe the announcement has been
received with cool Indifference. The vii
layers are in the midst of harvest opera
tions. and have no time to worry about
anything else. Inquiries in the village,
however, show that there is some founda
tion for the story. 1t Is said to be a
tradition with the American Balconies
that their ancestors came from BalcOmbe,
and they have been trying to establish the
connection. Last summer a Mr.. Holman of
New York visited the village and took back
to the American Balconies many pleasing
mementoS of his visit. Since then there
has been some correspondence between
members of the American Balcombe fam
lilies and residents of Balcombe, but in none
of the letters is there a suggestion OF the
intention of the Americans to try to an
mex the whole village.
With the assistance of the rector of Bal
combe the pedigrees of the families have
been inquired into, and 1t appears that the
Balconies were yeomen of some impor-
tance in the village from about 1543 to 1645.
They then apparently shook the dust of the
village from their shoes and wandered
abroad. and, as the American Balconies
arrived in that country about 1860, the
chronological chain Is almost complete. AT
the present moment there is not a single
person named Balcombe in the village but
there plenty of people with this name
in other parts of Sussex. The only property
known to be associated with the ancient
Balconies is now owned by Lord Frederick
FitZroy. Nobody seems to treat the threat
ened American claim seriously, especially
as the strongest piece of evidence in sup
port of the case of the claimants is their
possession Of china fruit dish supposed
to have been in the family of the American
Balconies 240 years.

In view of the effort and money
pended in recent years the defense of
the Americas cup. 1t seems strange that
in the earlier contests for the trophy no
one should have deemed it expedient to
build a yacht for the specific purpose of
meeting the challenger.
The famous schooner America, which
so soundly beat the British boats in the
first of the international races, was not
built as racing yacht. Even as late as
thirty years ago yachts were not specially
built to defend the cup; yet the American
yachtsmen of those days were lacking in
neither enthusiasm, enterprise nor means.
Perhaps they rested secure in the convic-
tion of the all-around superiority of Ameri-
can yachts; perhaps, again, it con-
fidence in numbers for in the first match
for the cup sailed in American waters the
New York Yacht Club pitted it's entire
fleet of schooners against the challenger,
Mr.. James Ashbury's Cambria and
many of the twenty-five Yankees beat the
British boat badly. This race was notable
in yachting annals chiefly for the reappear-
ance of the original cup winner America,
which, after twenty years of a varied ca
reer as a trader blockade runner and a
training vessel of the navy, was put in
racing trim at cost of $4,000, and fin
ished in fourth place This was really the
first step taken in the direction of building
d cup defender.
Mr.. Ashbury challenged for the follow
ing year. 1871, but objected to the prin-
ciple of defense maSSe, stipulated for
seven races instead of one, and insisted
on racing against a single defender.
While apparently acceding to his terms,
the committee designated four schooners
to appear at the line each day, from which
a defender could be chosen according to
the nature of the weather. His objection
to that proceeding was regarded little
short of impertinence; acrimonious
controversy followed and he retired from
international yachting forever. His death
in London, in comparative obscurity and
poverty, was announced on the morning
of September 10, 1893, the day of the sec
ond race between the Defender and Val
kyrie III; race that produced another

ANOTHER RUSSIAN CANAL.
Proposed Shfpway Between st. Peters,
burg and the White Sea.

From the New York Times
A few weeks ago it was shown in these
columns what the forthcoming deep-water
canal from st. Petersburg to the White
sea would mean to the Industries of Cen
trail Russia as well as to the country's de-
fences in the northwest, and it was shown
to be part of a very elaborate system of
communication and transportation which
would include not only waterways, but
railways, as we'll. 1t is now learned that
it is the intention of the Russian ministry
of ways of communication to make Roston
on the Don a port of considerable import
ance by the construction of deep-water
canal from that town to the Sea of Azor.
The idea of establishing a navigable wa
terway for vessels of average draught to
Rostoff is not new, but the idea of making
a deep waterway there Is new, the scheme
owing it's inception to the Don river COM
mission, whose project has just received
the approval of Prince khilkof of the de-
partment of ways of communication.
In the course of his recent inspection Of
the waterways of southern Russia, Prince
Khilkoff spent some time in Rostoff where
he discussed the project at length with the
Don river commission. The scheme pro-
vides for canal with minimum depth OF
IS feet, which the promoters consider SUI
fcient to allow even large vesseis TO come
up to Rostoff and leave with at least a
two-thirds cargo The assumption is that
the majority of outgoing vessels would
adopt the practice followed by steamships
using the 10 feet 6 inches waterway to
Nikolaieff, and call at Odessa or other
Black ports for complementary cargo
The promoters assert that, IL the trans
action pays in the case of vessels leaving
Nikolaieff, it should pay in the case of ves-
sells leaving Rostoff. The cost of carrying
out the scheme as 1t stands Is roughly estf-
mated at 100000 rubles, practically the
whole of which would be spent in dredging
operations. Prince KhiIkoff has expressed
himself in thorough accord with the
project, and has promised to exert his in
fiuence in ST. Petersburg in it's favor,
which is; considered by those interested to
be tantamount to unofficial statement
that the canal will be constructed.

same material, white shirts, black ties and
either lace or button shoes. They're just
handy dress coats to wear down to dinner
or to hang around the house or club in.
Novelties in Dress.
One of the best tailors on the avenue
will introduce several novelties this COM
ing autumn. One of these is an evening
suit made of dark gray cloth. The collar
is of the shawl pattern, faced with gray
silk. The trousers and waistcoat are made
of the same material as the coat. The
suits are designed for wear at stag affairs,
about hotels and clubs and for the theater
when women are not to be in the party
Another new idea is house suit. 1t Will
be made of a heavy rep silk and lined
with silk. The colors are very brilliant.
The trousers are made like pajama trous-
ers and fasten about the waist with a
broad bit of ribbon with large silk tassels
at the ends The coat is cut double-breast-
ed and has large pockets. The suit may
be worn with a silk shirt. 1t is just for
wear in ones room.
In overcoats the long Chesterfields and
the skirted coats will be very popular The
skrted coat Will be worn in the evening
as well as during the day. These are cut
like the Paddock and have we!l-fared
skirts. The Raglan will only be in rain
proofs and in coverts. The covert coat
will be very popular. 1t will be cut full
and quite short.
Sack suits will be made on lines that
while conforming to the lines of the body
do not accentuate them. The military
jacket is passe. The new jackets will be
loose and will have perfectly straight
backs.
In shoes the principal departure is In the
shape of the toe. The latest model shows
the fiat last with the outswung sole, but
the tip is brought in to much narrower
point than last years model. Low shoes
will be worn during the autumn and on
pleasant days during the winter, but many
look upon the low shoe as a mere winter
fad. The patent leather shoes with kid
tops will be the formal footwear. Shoes
will be very plain for dress, and quite
elaborately trimmed for neglige and busi-
ness wear.

After the Vigilant had brought him
worldwide fame, NAT" Hereschoff pri-
vately told friend that he could build
fin-keel boat to beat her from ten to
twelve minutes over a thirty-knot course.
He had built fin-keel boats of smaller
size previously, and they had achieved
astonishing success. When he was COM
missioned by Messrs. Morgan and Iselin
to build boat to meet the Valkyrie III,
In 1895 he put his idea into form and the
Defender was the result. 1t was not the
first time that the fin-keel experiment had
been tried for the defense Of the cup.
But it was the first time it had been tried
by master hand, and the centerboard, in
international yachting annals, speedily be-
came a memory.
