THE NEW CHALLENGER.
Dimensions of LiptOn's Yacht VIII
Make Her Less Powerful Than
the American Boats.

According to the Boston Herald,
which claims to have reliable informa-
ton, Sir Thomas Lipton's new chal.
lenger, the Shamrock H., will have a
draft of 10 feet 6 inches; beam 23 feet
6 inches, and her length over all will be
1876 feet, The lead weight is to be s5
tons. Designer Watson believes that a
beam such as he has given the Sham
rock ii. is better for all-round perform-
the Valkyrie III. 1t is very noticea BILE
fact, says the Herald, that the new chal-
lenger and the Britannia, the prince of
Wales boat, have exactly the same
beam dimensions, though the former
has more than two feet more draft than
the princes old yacht. 1t is evident
from these dimensions that Mr.. Watson
has gone in measure to the canoe type
of midship section, more like the Jubi-
lee than any of our other American
boats. 1t quite evident that the yacht
now building by Denny brothers, of
Dunbarton, is less powerful than those
being built on this side, and it is quite
certain, on her dimensions, that she
will not be able to carry quite the sail
plan of either the Lawson or the Bel
mony syndicate boat, but, while she
may be penalized in this respect, she
gains in another important direction,
in having less displacement, less wet
ted surface, and, all things else being
equal, she would be quite as easily
driven under her canvas as the larger
and more powerful boats with their
greater sails spread.

In keeping with the spirit of push
that has characterized its many achieve
ments in the past, the Marietta Board
of Trade has taken prompt and positive
steps against the proposed change of
location of Dam No. 18 in the Ohio
river. In another column of this paper
the resolutions of the committee ap-
pointed by the Board are printed, and
which speak for themselves. Every
argument favors the location of the
dam at the point first decided upon,
and it behooves all citizens of Marietta
to join with the Board of Trade in its
efforts to prevent any change in the
original plans. 1t is suggested that
letters of citizens be sent to Senators
Foraker and Hanna. and to Congress
man Van Voorhis. in support of the
resolutions, copies of which have
been forwarded to each of these officials.
Let everybody give helping hand.

SCHOOL INcREAsE.

In giving resume of Superintendent
Williams's statements before the
Board of Trade Friday night, we mad
vertently stated that 165 families had
located in the city during the past
two years. This remarkable acquisi-
tion of new families has been the
record of only six months instead of 2
years, as reported. This represents an
enrolment of 349 new pupils in the
city's schools during the half year.
When it is remembered that no ac-
count can be had of the number of new
families, which have chosen Marietta
as their home, as in many cases no
children are registered in the public
schools from the homes of these new
corners, the significance of this gain to
Marietta-The Beautiful - The Oil
Center-The College Town-cannot be
over estimated 1t shows that Mari
etta's reputation for her natural adj
vantages and acquired prosperity is, as
every good citizen would wish it, not
only unchanging, but also increasing
day by day. More families mean to
the city more activity, more property,
more population.
Therefore it is with feeling of the
utmost qualification that this increase,
which is even greater than the report
shows, is noted.

1t seems altogether out of place to
inscribe any name or set of names Oh
the corner stone of the new Court
House. Thousands of citizens were
active in bringing about the erection
of this building, and there is no good
reason in support of the proposition q
pick out a half dozen people to be thus
honored. This is not said in way of
disparagement of the officials whose
names are mentioned in connection
with the inscription-it is altogether
likely that the proposition was not
made upon their motion.

The movement started, Friday night,
by the Board of Trade in favor of good
roads for Washington County, is most
commendable, and deserves the support
of all citizens. Each year thousands of
dollars are dumped into mudholes here
and there, with results that are not at
all satisfactory. Build good roads and
let the generations of the future help
pay for them.

Burglars Captured.

Last Monday the Kane chiefof police

the same individuals wanted by the
Emporium authorities.

warrant issued by Squire Larrabee,
went to Kane on Tuesday afternoon
and brought the chaps to Emporium,
yesterday, assisted by P. & E. detective
Joy. The prisoners are confined in

i've. The hearing will take place to-

that robbed the Emporium stores last
Wednesday. The fifth chap is locked
up at Bradford.
Word was received this morning that
the prisoner held at Bradford is one OF
the gang, having an identified revol-
yer IN his possession.

Consul-Qeneral WiIdman.

Emma Mersereau Newton in "Society of Ameri
can Authors"
My acquaintance with the late
Rounsevelle Wildman was purely q
paper one, but it was Of such an agree
able character that felt as if bereft of
personal friend when news of the
recent steamboat disaster at the Golden
Gate was flashed over the Rockies.
My introduction to Mr.. Wildman
was through story, entitled, GA
Breath of Heaven" which I submitted
to the Overland, assailed by a grave
doubt as to the wisdom of sending
''coals to Newcastle" Nor was my
fear unfounded, for a response from
the editor informed me that they had
been so inundated with mission stories,
that resolution had been registered
to accept no more. "But," he added
"'A Breath of Heaven has proven so
unusually attractive that an exception
has been made in your favor, and if our
terms are satisfactory, we shall be pleas.
ed to have other contributions from
your pen" Subsequently he expressed
especial appreciation of can Iconoclas-
tic Episode" and sent me a copy of his
own novel, 'The Panglima Muda," to
emphasize his satisfaction with my
work. Even when declining contri-
button, because it was unsuited to the
wants of the Overland, he had the cour-
tesy to end with the encouraging re-
quest, "Send me some more of your
charming Stories"
Consul-General Wildman will be
known to history as one of the illustri-
Gus Americans connected with the con-
quest of the Philippines; but to heart
solaced for weary hours of labor by
hisengagingappreciation and fair treat
ment, Rounsevelle Wildman, the editor,
will be reverently remembered as one
of those rare beings who deserve to be
ranked with the blessed, and wear the
crown of life. Editors are tutelary de.
tiles, who preside over the destinies OF
authors. All hail, and hats off, to the
honorable ones!

DEATHS DOINGS.
WYKOFF.

Hon. BAINBRIDGE V. WYKoFF ian
account of whose death appeared in
our last issue) was laid to rest on the
historic banks of the Sinnamahoning,
at Wyside, last Saturday at 2 o'clock,
p. m, it having been the desire of the
deceased to be buried near the scene
of his boyhood days. Although the
day was disagreeable very large
number of relatives and friends as
sembled at the beautiful M. e. Church
at Sinnamahoning to pay the last tri
butte of respect to an honored citizen,
neighbor and friend. Rev. M. G.
Piper, Of Altoona, Pa, formerly Pas
tor of deceased) delivered very elo-
quent sermon, full of good thoughts
and kind words of comfort to the af-
fiicted. We have listened to very
many discourses upon similar occasions
but seldom have been more favorably
impressed than when we listened to
the eloquent discourse by Rev. Piper
Rev. Faus, the new Pastor, although a
stranger to all present, admirably over
come the difficulties of the trying oc-
casion in manner strictly suitable and
appropriate. The singing by the choir
was very sweet and touching. After
viewing the remains the silent city of
the dead was visited and all that was
mortal of Judge Wykoff was lovingly
laid to rest. Driftwood Lodge, F. &
A. NJ, of which the deceased was a
member, conducted the services at the
grave and escorted the remains from
the church. The fraternity to the
number of about fifty met in the P. o.
S. of A. hall at Sinnamahoning prior
to the funeral to make the necessary
preparations A vote of thanks for the
use of the room was rendered Sinna-
mahoning Camp.
