Reflections of n Bachelor.
From the New York Press.

It takes a great deal of alimony for
some women to keep up appearances
on.
When a man has been drinking too
much the only person he can fool about
IL is himself
1t takes a long time for some men
to learn that the way to convince a
woman she is wrong about thing is
to agree with her about it.
What a bachelor can't understand is
how n woman gets out of those gowns
that button up the back when there is
no man around to do II for her.
The Lord made fish cold-blooded so
they wouldn't blush fiery red at some
of the humans that go in swimming.
For every ounce of rum that runs out
of a bottle into a mans mouth an ounce
of brains runs into the bottle out of his
head.
You can teach the stupidest Ounce
how to make love, but Il is beyond the
power of any mortal soul TO teach an
other how to love.
Incubators may be a fine improve
ment on the old way of raising wee
babies. but they've got to think t. pro-
duce a scheme for getting .the babies
UP to the incubator stage.
Man can put cloves on his breath and
disguise the smell OF whiskey from his
wife, but there is nothing in the world
he can put on his tone of voice to dis
guise the love that he has lost for her.

UNEAsINEss IN YACHTING CIRCLES

1t is evident that there is not the
feeling of confidence in yachting circles
respecting the Constitution, this years
cup defender, as there was in the Co
lumbia, last years cup defender.
Shamrock ii is admitted to be a much
better boat than Shamrock l was. In
deed, II is conceded that Shamrock II
is the fastest sailing craft ever turned
out of British shipyard. Yaehtsmen
who have seen her since her arrival in
this country speak of her I'm the most
enthusiastic manner. That she is a
beautiful and a very fast boat there
is no doubt.
The fact that there is disappointment
respecting the Constitution cannot be
concealed. She does not meet expecta-
tions. She is a good boat, and a very
speedy one, especially in light winds,
but in strong breezes she does not DO
so well. In several of the races she
has been beaten by the Columbia.
Since the changes in her rigging she
has sailed two races with that boat.
In both she was the winner, but under
circumstances that leave doubt as to
whether she is the better boat under
all circumstances. In the race sailed
on Monday, at Newport, the Consti-
tuition beat the Columbia only about
80 seconds, but the Columbia was de-
clared the winner by 30 seconds on
time allowance.
The uneasiness which yachtsmen feel
does not mean that they are seriously
alarmed for the outcome Of the race
for the cup. 1t simply means that they
do not feel as confident as they did
last year when the race was between
the Columbia and Shamrock I. The
Columbia in the trial races. met all ex-
pectations entertained of her. That
has not been the case in respect to the
Constitution. She has given satlsfac-
ton only in light winds. Just what the
trouble is her designer does not seem TO
know, though the recent changes made
in her rigging appear to be a decided
benefit TO her.
OF course American yachtsmen donot
believe that the English boat will carry
away the cup, but they would feel
more comfortable If the Constitution
were doing better work in the trial
races.

WHY HE STOLE THE GOLD.

The confession of Jack Winters, the
man who robbed the vault of the Selby
Smelling Company of gold to the
amount of $2S0,O00. has several inter-
esting features, one of them being that
he wanted the gold in order that he
might finish his airship, a model of
which, he says, he has in his cabin.
Another reason he gave was that he
wanted to travel. He did not intend to
spend the money lavishly. He had
planned to live very economically. If
the stories told of the mans earlier
life are true 1t would have been i'm
possible for him to live economically.
He would have spent the whole
amount inside of few years. In fact,
the chances are that he would have got
rid of it in a few months. He is not
the kind of a man to keep money.
Probably he will be given money
enough by the smelling company to
finish his airship. 1t is the understand
ing that he is to have a very light SEN
tence, and to be paid something for
giving up the gold. If he is really in
earnest therefore about his airship the
world may yet see an evidence of his
genius. That he is a brainy man there
is no doubt. Otherwise he would never
have succeeded in getting the gold out
OF the vault of the smelling company
while half a dozen watchmen were on
guard.

And Sampson Was Fifty Miles AVA,

For the Times Democrat.
The game was up and the yellow sun
Rose soft on tragedy unbegun;
tragedy dire, whose lifting tide
Would send its pillows both far and
wide;
The game was up and Cervera knew
That life for him and his swarthy crew
was slim as fate when the furies play
And mold mems live out of fitful CLAW
And Sampson was fifty miles away.
Swift curled the smoke from the fun

The hill-locked bay of the tropic isle
Where nature had lavished her fairest

A thousand men with hearts afiame.
With bloody thoughts and never a

And hell's lips whetted with thoughts

And Sampson was fifty miles away.
Vicious and sullen, black dogs of war.
Eager to stay; with rapacious nav.
Cervera's ships with their promise of

was thin;
A storm of fury-in single file,
Each ship majestic, imposing pile,
Swept on and to sea in the garish day,
Ship after ship and in battle array
And Sampson still fifty miles away.
Gray-winged the gulls DER the somber
And gray-hued the fleet near the rocky
lea;
Grayly the smoke in derision curled
AS the breeches closed and the shells
were hurled;
But hot were the hearts of a thousand
foes
For the others blood; and the rain of
Which fell and fell as the smoke hung
Were blows which never a ship could

And thus while Cervera risked the day.
Sampson was fifty miles away.
Mutters of thunder and crash of steel;
Echoes awaken, are shaken and reel;
Flimsy the fabric of steel and oak
Which helpless lies in a cloud of smoke.
Gray-winged the gull as it shrieks in

And gray the hulks which are shatter-

Riven and biistered. grim hetacombs
Where dead and dying must find their

No need of questioning me, l pray,

THE sCHLEY INQUIRY.

Some rather interesting speculations
and assertions are finding their way
into the public prints in connection
with the Schley case. For instance, a
United States Senator is quoted in a
Washington dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun as saying that il Admiral Schley
should not get fair treatment from the
against him should be taken up by
Congress, the investigation would not
stop with the Schley case, but would
be continued into all branches of the
navy department. He intimated that
there had long been in the minds of
cion that there was more favoritism
in the navy than there should be, and
that it would do the navy department
no harm to give the whole naval sys-
tenn, together with its theory and prac-
tees under the system, a thorough
overhauling.
There is not much doubt that the
Schley inquiry will be a fair one. 1t is
a safe assertion that If there is a clique
in the navy that runs the navy depart
ment 1t will not want to be discovered,
and hence will take care that nothing
is done in the Schley case that
would have the effect of causing
Congress to take hold of it. If
a tenth part of what has appeared in
the public prints is true respecting the
favoritism shown some officers and GER
tain other matters, Congressional in
vestigation would be productive of some
interesting reading.

a number of aspirants for the honor.

The work of the Virginia Constitu-
tional Convention nears completion,
and the Richmond Dispatch exhorts
the people of the Old Dominion to elect
good men to the Legislature. By the
Legislature, the constitution proposed
by the convention must be ratified. and
the Dispatch reminds its readers that
all the expense that has been incurred
and all the time and brains that have
been employed in formulating the in
strument may go for naught, if the
Legislature is not composed of men
wise enough to know their duty, patri-
otto enough to desire the good of their
state and brave enough TO do the right.
The Dispatch strikes the right chord
when it advises the election of good
men to the Legislature. AT all times
and under all circumstances the advice
is of the kind that should be followed;
just now, and under the circumstances
that confront the people, that they
should follow it is absolutely necessary
to the welfare of the state.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat (Rep.(
says: A Southern candidate on the
Democratic ticket would be fully as
strong in the country at large as was
the Democratic nominee of 1896 and
1900 or stronger. If there should be
any falling off in the vote given to a
Southern man it would show, of
course, that the Democratic party's
promises of fidelity to the interests of
the South were hypocritical. There is
no rea son to suppose that the Republi-
can party would make a harder can
Vass against a Southern man than 1t
did against the Western man whom
the Democrats put at the front in the
two recent canvasses. There would be
less sectionalism on lines of latitude,
as we believe, in a canvass in which
Southern man would head the Demo-
cratic ticket than there was on lines
of longitude in 1896 through the efforts
OF Mr.. Bryan and his friends to array
the West against the East.In the Globe
Democrats view, a canvass in which
the Democracy had a Southern man
Tor it's presidential candidate would
by the formal removal of the ban
against the South, hasten instead of
retard the final oblteration of all sec
tional lines in the politics of this coun-
try"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem)
says: Our Irish friends intend to send
over some of their surplus potatoes to
make up for deficient crop in this
country. Under the beneficent Dingley
tariff American consumers will pay on
these potatoes a tax of 25 cents a
bushel of sixty pounds. When the po-
tato crop in this country is abundant
there is a large surplus for export, and
the tariff is of no use for protection.
When the crop fails American farmers
must pay the tax not only on the po-
tatoes they consume on their tables
but on what they need for planting.
The New York Tribune CRep) says:
I'm the purchase and sale of trans
ports, Uncle Sam is not n brilliantly
successful trafficker. For the McPher-
son and the Terry he paid more than
$350000 originally, and his total outlay
on the two vessels, including repairs
and improvements, was more than
$500 900. He has now sold the pair at
auction for a total of less than $40, 900.

The Philadelphia North American
Qnd. Rep.) says: by rejecting Pres

tire responsibility for the continuance
of the strike. He alone must be held
accountable for all the consequences,
however calamitous, that may grow
out of the controversy of the Steel
Trust with Its workmen."

Judge Frank Il. Curry, of Butts
county court, is emulating the example
of Justice Jerome of New York. I'm
der his directions a room in the wig
wan at Indian Springs was raided
Sunday night and, after the players in
a social game had been arrested, Judge
Curry proceeded to hold court. 1t was
ten minutes 10 twelve when the raid
was made and the players were per-
mitted to continue ten minutes, or until
Monday morning, before court was
opened. Then the judge held prelimi-
nary hearings and assessed fines. He
collected sixteen hundred dollars in
fines and costs in less than sixteen
minutes. The method of dealing with
gamblers commends itself as being at
once inexpensive and direct in it's re-
suits. 1t is said that those who were
convicted lost no time in shaking the
dust of Indian Springs from their feet.
They had been shaken by the court
for all the other dust they had about
them.

60 dplAollin6 d Theological seminary IN
the South because the Southern grad
yates of Northern seminaries prefer to
remain in the North. leaving Southern
pulpits empty of Southern men. The
Congregational Church is not strong in
the South, but there is reason to be-
lieve that the tendency exists in other
churches as well. The South Is an at
tractive section for residence. in a So
cial old-fashioned way, and a white
harvest for the reaper of the church.
Why then, should Southern theologi-
cal graduates drift to the North? For
the same reason. probably, that South
ern professional men of all sorts drift
northward. The rewards are better
here, the isolation is less, the at
mosphere is more professional The
army of active Southern professional
and business men who are prosperine
in the North to-day, would, If transfer
red to the South, add immensely to the
intellectual strength of the section.
Along with the announcement that the
Southern graduates OF Northern theo-
logical schools prefer to remain in the
North goes the statement that though
there is a great demand in Southern
churches for educated ministers, stu
dents from Northern seminaries are not
available. In this respect the South is
not quite different from the West.
which draws heavily and willingly on
Eastern graduates for its pulpits. The
Southern pulpit, indeed. exercises rath-
er blighting effect on the Northern
preachers abilities. There are a great
many questions there which have to be
handled in the pulpit in a delicate fash
ion. The preacher to the manner born
succeeds better than the bumptious
Northern theologue, encouraged at
school to speak his mind. and rushing
in where angels might fear to tread.
So. nothing seems practicable except
the Southern theological school and the
home grown preacher with a STRING
to him" What all this bodies for the
future of religion in the South is an
other story
