AND NOTES-DBTAILS OF WAGER
ON YACHT RACE.

Pittsburg, Sept. 3.-The great international
yachting bet Of 100000. between an English
syndicate represented by Walter J. Kingsley,
Of London, and a group of Pittsburgers. repre-
sented by William I. Muslin. finally ar
ranged this afternoon. The entire sum was de-
posted in the hands of the stakeholder, Mr.
Kingsley turning over $4,000 in British bank
notes. and Mr.. Muslin giving a certified check
for S25O,OOO. What is said TO be the greatest
bet in history was thus posted.
Both Mr.. Muslin and MI Kingsley arrived in
Pittsburg this morning, Mr.. Muslin coming
from Asbury Park and Mr.. Kingsley from New
York Mr.. Muslin promptly put Mr.. Kingsley
in communication with his principals, who were
speedily convinced that the $15O.o00 Of British
money was awaiting their convenience. Mr..
Kingsley on his part agreed 10 accept a certified
check for the full amount Of the American side
of the wager.
AS the name of Darr. Moore & Brydon had
been used repeatedly without warrant as the
probable stakeholder, a conference was held
in the Office of that firm. The partners went
into the matter and decided that as theirs was
an investment business, and stalehoding not
in their line, they must decline to hold the
stakes They did however, suggest the name
Of a citizen. prominent in financial circles and
who is known far London possible
stakeholder. This man, when approached. con-
sented TO become stakeholder upon the express
condition that his name should be withheld from
the public as he does not care to share in the
publicity enjoyed by those Pittsburgers
who crossed in the Deutschland. Banknotes
and check were carefully gone over and pro-
nounced satisfactory. Mr.. Kingsey's creden-
tials were examined, with the same result The
stake is to be paid within one week after the
concluding race. the place Of meeting 10 be
NeW-York.
The wager is simply S150OO0 to $4,000 that
the Shamrock lifts the cup. There are no con-
ditions as TO accident. Both Mr. Muslin and
Mr.. Kingsley the brokers for their respective
will handsome
Mr. Kingsley is to get per cent of the whole
amount in case the Shamrock wins, and 215
per cent Of S150000 If she loses.
Mr. Kingsley was glad to be relieved OF the
responsibility for the thirty-one f1,0OO Bank of
England notes he has carried since leaving Eng
land on August %. Mr.. Muslin was also glad
TO end the affair. which he engaged in as a
matter of business, but which has gained him
so much publicity.

The government has used every endeavor to
suppress the details Of the wreck. On this ac-
count IL is not definitely known how many lives
were lost. La Popa was carrying troops from
Cartagena TO Barranquilla, and none of them
were saved. The warship. which went down
about sixty miles from the port Of SavanilIa
also carried cargo of half million cartridges

Only REQUIRES Nerve.

The Forest and Stream says that
nearly every one has fear of wild AMI.
mails, and yet no wild animal will fight
unless wounded or cut Off from all APP
parent avenues of escape All animals
will try and escape II given a chance.
This fear Ia kept up by all sorts Of
bear. wolf and snake stories, most Of
which are magnified to make heroes Of
hunters. There Is more danger from
natural causes In visit to wild animal
haunts than from the animals. There
Ia more danger Of slipping of preci.
pice or falling into river than from
being hurt by bear or wolf. Many
more people have been killed by light.
ming than have been run over by STAN.
peding buffalo herds. or killed by
grizzly bears, or by all the 9th.
er animals of the prairie put together.
One might almost say that more PEG.
pie have been struck by falling meteor
ties than have been killed by panthers
or wolves. And yet from day to day
the newspapers continue to print bear
stories, catamOunt stories, and wolf
stories. and probably they will do so
until long after the last bear. cata-
mount and wolf shall have disappeared
from the land.

In 1856, J. s. Bellrude, local Justice

young wife and an infant child, and he
worked his way In the California will

him of making rich strike and re-
turning to his little family with the
wealth that would forever make them
comfortable. But luck conspired
against him, and while success after
success crowned the efforts of the men
delving In the hills about him, his own
little claim produced a heritage OF
debts. Ten years passed. and Bellrud,
learned that his wife was dead. Til.
son was living In comfort with his
mothers people, and the discouraged
man, feeling that all was well with tn,
boy, allowed him to drop from sight
and his very existence became uncer.

the father mailed his picture to the son.
and since that time the latter has al
ways tried to keep trace of the formers
whereabouts.
A year ago the son. who had become
40 years years Of age, left his home.
and. emulating his fathers example OF
years before, struck out into the frozen
regions of Nome to search for gold.
Luck, which had never come to the
father, showered Its favors on the son
and the latter located number OF

him a wealthy man. A short time ago
he returned to Seattle. from which

was Bellrude, Sr. The latter was sit.

picture sent him by his father thirty

THE AMERICAN GIRL
Is She Losing the Beauty That
Was Once q National Boast ?

Bright eyes, rosy cheeks, an elastic
step and a good appetite are the birth
right of every American girl. These are
the conditions that denote perfect health.
But, unfortunately, every day are seen
girls with pale, sallow compilations, Ian
guild, round shouldered and listless, and
the question is often asked whether the
woman of to-day has lost the healthy
beauty which was once a national char.
acteristic. One of the most common
Affections of womankind is an8mia, a
watery condition of the blood This
causes untold misery and often leads to
other and even more serious diseases. 1t
can be cured, however, as the following
interview in the Harrisburg Star-Inde-
pendent will show. Miss Annie L.
Reel, of No. 910 Green street, Harrisburg,
Pa, who has been sufferer from this
trouble, in answer to a reporters ques-
ton, said:

for highly seasoned food and after that
was afflicted with headache and my
heart would beat about twice as fast
as it should Ny limbs got SO weak
that l had to rest on every step when
going up stairs. The color Of my skin
was like that of dead person. My
limbs and, in fact, my whole body would
swell at times. The doctor who treated
me said my complaint was anemia.

disease go few weeks longer l would
have had dropsy. was under his care
for several weeks, but with little change

How, then, were you so completely

II had been sick for two months when

Keeping Vegetables.

Vegetables should never be put into
the cellar. as many Of them contain
acids which will absorb the poison of
the ground air, and If eaten will prove
very unhealthy, and if allowed to re-
main will rapidly decompose and fill
the air which arises to the upper rooms
with a poison that will undoubtedly
cause much mischief. Potatoes should
not be exposed to the sun, but kept in
some dry place where the light and air
can always strike them.
