TO KEEP SHAMROCK HERE
Upton DECIDES MOTTO TAKEHER
BACK NOW.

| Sir Thomas Hopes TO Race the Yacht
Again Next spring gatnst The Column
b,a and Also the Constitution.
New York, Oct From present in
dications it is highly probable there
will be some very interesting racing
among the ninety-foot yachts next
season. Sir Thomas Upton has decided
to keep the Shamrock II in America,
this winter, with view of racing her
next spring and summer against the
Constitution and Columbia.
The Shamrock is to be dismantled at
once. Her mast will be taken out SO
that she can pass under the Brooklyn
bridge and she is to be toWed, after be-
ing stripped, to New London, Conn,
there to be laid up for the winter with
the Constitution which will also have
a berth at that place.
THE races are over,' said Commo-
dore Ledyard of the New York Yacht
CiuD, anu SOluIHDld Will ue lHlu up lUI
the winter. If the owners of the yachts
want to race that is their affair. The
club has nothing to do with it. The
Shamrock of course, could not compete
for the cup again until after two years,
unless a contest for it by some other
vessel meanwhile, has interviewed.
Sir Thomas Upton is confined to his
yacht, the Erin, which is lying off
West Twenty sixth street in the North
River. His right leg, which was hurt
while he was boarding the tender Porto
Rico few weeks ago, is giving him
considerable pain. The tremendous
strain it was subjected to during the
recent races is beginning to tell, and
his doctor has ordered absolutely rest
under the penalty of his being laid up
in bed, and the possible cancellation OF
all engagements.
Elaborate preparations are being
made at the New York Yacht club to
fittingly receive Sir Thomas at the club
tomorrow night. The affair is to be
in the nature of a reception, to be fol-
lowed, probably, by few toasts and
informal speeches.

INVALIDS WHO LIVE ON MILK.
A Small Colony of Persons on Thimble
Islands, on the Connecti-
cut Shore.

There is a colony of invalids on
Thimble islands, off Bramford, Conn.
who have quit eating, and are partak-
ing of a new cure-plain milk. 1t is
said to have effected two remarkable
cures-one a case which scientists
were unable to cope with. There are
nine in the colony, and each individual
declares himself greatly benefited by
the remedy, says a New Haven CORE
spondent of the Chicago Tribune.
AS far as can be learned, Philip H.
Robinson, register Of the Catholic uni
versity, at Washington. d. c., formerly
of New Haven, is the discoverer of the
medical properties of milk. Mr.. Rob
inson has suffered great many years
with a nervous disease which special
lists have been unable to benefit. Be.
cause. as he says, he was tired of every
thing, including eating, he determined
a little more than month ago to fore
90 solid food and live on milk. The sue
cess Of his experiment has more than
surprised him. In the month that he
has lived without solid food of any
kind he has gained eight pounds in
weight and his nervous disease has dis
appeared. He drinks ten quarts day,
a glass at a time, at intervals of half
an hour. lie declres that he will never
eat again.
Another disciple of the milk cure is
Camillus II. Oatman, professor at VIII
liams' college. He suffered with chron-
ic kidney trouble, was induced by Prof.
Robinson to try milk, and, having
gained six pounds in weight, believes
himself cured.

MINE HAS FABULOUS RICHES.
Arizona Property That VIII Probably
Make Senator Clark WeaIthiest
Man in the World.

The American Mining News con-
tains the following article about the
great United Verde mine, the prop
erty of Senator w. A. Clark, which,
if correctS would indicate that it IS
probably the richest mine and he the
richest man in the world:
at has only lately come. to light
that the average value of the ore
taken from the United Verde is 81;
per ton in all values-gold, silver and
copper. This mine, so far as has
been developed, including explore
lions and diamond drilling below thu
present workings, shows an immense
ore chimney, 4OOx6OO feet across, thai
has been explored by shafts, tunnels
and drill holes to a depth of 1,4OC
feet.
Gust how far it will be possible
to work this mine down before the
heat limit is reached is hard to say
but a reasonable estimate would be
5000 feet. An estimate by one of thu
best mining engineers in this coun
try shows that the mine to the deptl
of 400 feet contains 336,0O0,0OO cubic
feet of ore, and estimating II cubic
feet to the ton there is PRACTICAL,
%. 100000 tons in sight.
"If we carry these figures littl'

THE AMERIND.
There Has Been an Attempt to Give
New Name to Our
Aborigines.

An amerind is not, as anyone might
be excused for surmising, an East In
dian date in a thin shell. That is
tamarind. An amerind is not fruit
at all. 1t is name invented by the
Anthropological society in Washing
ton, and intended as a substitute for
American Indian. A writer, NJ. Dellen-
baugh, who has published book about
"The North Americans of Yesterday"
Is denounced by reviewer Of the
Evening Post because all through his
book he speaks of Indians as amer
inds, says E. S. Martin, in Harper's
Weekly. The Posts reviewer thinks
he ought to be ashamed, and there
seems to be due basis for that opinion.
A got-up name like amerind may do
for anthropologists, but it cannot hope
to pass current among real people. If
there is objection to calling our abor-
igines Indians because it has turned
out that they don't live in India, the
simplest remedy is to call them injuns.
There is no ambiguity about injun.
Everyone knows that it is American
and not Asiatic. Moreover, it is
word that has come up from the plain
people, and such a word, as we all
know, has far better chance to sur
vive than any remedial epithet that is
thought out and launched by the
learned.

"The Mexican boys in Lower Califor-

custom.
"The deadly arena was composed OF
a large tin pan, the faring sides OF
which held the combatants prisoners
and yet allowed them plenty of room
to fight in. When the misunderstanding

1t out Of its proper place and graft
It on to city life and it's inside enter
tainments." To compare it's music

1t has lived through some bad crises.
When that phase of life in which it was
born and brought up passed away, it
declined to be moved into the back
ground. In short, it had the will 10
live without the adventurous aids of
cranks and of congresses, because it
answers a primitive want. Indeed,
nothing could be more ironic than the
fact that the military organization
which did much to crush out every
thing that had made it power should
have been so completely conquered by
It that there are now two-and-twenty
pipe bands in the British army. The
bagpipe has been annexed by some Of
the native Indian regiments, notably
those in the Punjab, and it continues
to spread there as a great military
instrument.

AN ENGLISH woMAN's SUCCESS
She Started In and Made
Money Herself.

Many well-born English women
have gene into trade in recent years,
and mos. of them have made a sue
cess of it, though the venture may
have cost them social prestige.
One Of the courageous company has
lone so well in business that she is
to retire from active work this fall,
though she will keep an interest in
the business, which has been made
into a corporation.
1t is a nice little story, that of Mrs.
Jack Cummings success. She came
of a good old Guernsey family of
French extraction. Every one eX-
pected her to make a brilliant mar
riage.
She chose an acknowledged detri-
mental, Jack Cummings. His family
was all that could be desired. lie
was handsome and an all around
good fellow, but the young couple
were uncompromisingly, if cheerful
ly, poor.
After a few years the husbands
father died, leaving the property to
his son, who paid up succession
duties, etc, and then found he had
nothing to live on.
Here was where the woman's part
of the story began. She said she
could make money, and she proved it..
She opened the family house in
London as a dressmaking and millin-
cry establishment. The place had
been the home of the old Hogarth
club and was full of fine old tapes
tries, furniture, elaborate carvings,
beautiful ceilings.
From the wall, a long line of il
lustrious ancestors looked down at a
member of the family tactfully SELL
ing gorgeous gowns and marvellous
confections.
There was an assumed name over
the door. So much was conceded to
the ancestors, but the name didn't
imply any effort at concealment, or
any false shame.
Mrs. Cummings superintendent
everything herself. Her French
blood made her a wizard in matters
sartorial.
She went to the shop at nine in
the morning, She gave each GUS
toner her personal attention. She
made her gowns fad.
Society howled, went from curios-
ity. saw. and was conquered. The
dressmaker was serenely Indifferent
to criticism and absorbed in her art.
Many of the smart set not only
bought her gowns and hats but kept
her friendship.
She set her husbands estate on its
feet, refined the threadbare family
pocket, sold out at big profit, keep
ing an interest in the business, and
has gone back to her old domestic
and social life.
1t would bother the aggressive
American business woman to better
the record of that mild-mannered
blonde English cousin.

A MAN OF METAL.
Young German Porter Carried
Heavy Load of Shot Under
meath His Skin.

The Iron Chancellor" has dfsap.
peared, says the Westminster Ca
zette, but there is still a Teuton very
much alive who is "a man of IRON
in an almost literal sense of the
term. This came out a few days
ago when young German porter
Dragged at a public house that he
was a man of iron, since a sports
man had discharged at least 80 grains
of shot into his back. He would have
nothing to do with surgeons, where
fore his brother had removed about
half of the load" by the simple ex-
pedient of cutting the shots out with
a knife. The story was presently
brought before the authorities, and
the porter was medically examined,
with the result that his story proved
absolutely true. His back and arms
were "larded" with lead balls, which
he carried about without any dis
comfort whatever. The reason for
his reluctance to approach surgeon
seems to have been that the sports
man who had thus marked him was
a gamekeeper, and it was while he
was on a poaching expedition that ill
luck thus befell him.
