CLIPPER SHIPS ARE FAST.
They Can OutStrip the Best Yachts
That Sail the Sea.
From the London Mail

From the London Mail.
The Shamrock III is credited with a
speed of over fourteen knots an hour
for short distances whom everything
was in he. favor. The Columbia has
never actually covered fourteen knots
in an hour, but has sailed at a speed
of fully fourteen knots for as much as
ten minutes together. For long runs in
cruising rig no yacht has ever exceed
ed eleven knots an hour. The Valkrie
III in June, 1894. on her voyage home to
Scotland, did best days run of 256
knots, which gives her a speed per
hour of 1892 knots.
Seeing that a modern racing yacht
is a sailing machine pure and simple,
nine persons out of ten imagine that
it represents the acme of speed obtain
able from wind. To these 1t may come
as a shock to hear that there have BEEN
during the past century, and are today,
sailing vessels afloat with which in Al
long race even the Shamrock II would
stand no chance at all.
The Aberdeen clippers of the early
sos were the first craft to show what
could be done in the way of speed
under sail. The Maid of Judah in 1860
made the passage from London to
Sydney in seventy-eight days. The
Lilies. a clipper of 1865 tons, took
troops from Dublin to Gibraltar In
four days and later sailed from Liver
pool to Melbourne in seventy nine days.
On this occasion she logged 365 miles
day for several days in succession
This Is more than one-third as fast
again as the Valkrie IFS best record.
The we'll named Hurricane of the
Thames and Mersey line came home
once from Melbourne in seventy-four
days. On this occasion she achieved
what is probably a worlds record for
speed. She ran 270 miles in sixteen and
one-half hours-a speed exceeding six
teen miles an hour, a performance that
her builders and owners might we'll be
proud of.
In 1867 occurred sAe greatest OF China
tea clipper races. Fourteen ships took
part. The Ariel won. covering the dis
lance from Foo-Chow-Foo to London
in 102 days. The curious part of this
race was that n ship which was not
entered for the race, the Sir Lancelot
of Greenock, a composite-built vessel,
beat everything else by three days.
The Sir Lancelot was $50 tons burden
and carried $4,000 feet of canvas-that
Is, just over an acre. Her mainmast
was 200 feet high. Her record of Ia
600 miles In eighty nine days still
stands, while her best days sail was
1854 statue miles in twenty-four hours.
The absolute record. however. for a
twenty-four hours run belong to the
Thermopylae, a 94S-ton clipper. On Jan.
3, 1870. she sailed $50 statue miles
a rate of 1873 miles an hour. The
enormous FIVE and six masted fore and
aft rugged ships of to-day carry on
these traditions of speed.
1t is, of course, the size or tnese
ships which gives them the advantage

Chronic
Diseases.
THE SENSIBLE WAY

To achieve signal success in any par
ticular line it is necessary that ones
entire time and energy be directed to
it's close and constant study.
In medicine, as in other important
branches Of science, speciality work is
more in demand every day. When life
and health are involved it is then that
the deep knowledge and expert skill of
a. specialist is sought. The surest way
of obtaining a restoration to health Is
to seek the services Of one whose ex-
perienoe and thorough scientific equip
ment have given him complete mas
terry over diseases which constitute his
speciality.
If you are suffering from any acute
ailment, such as typhoid fever. pneu-
monia, la grippe, etc, you should
promptly call the family physician.
If from any chronic disease, however,
a cure can be expected only from one
who has devoted himself exclusively
to their study and treatment.
For twenty years have made spe-
cialty of Chronic Nervous Diseases of
both men and women, and l can con-
fdently say that my complete knowl-
edge of their every phase and detail,
gained only by close research and ex-
perience, is unequalled by any other
physician in the United States. The
superiority of my treatment is demon
strated every day, for l am constantly
taking cases and curing them which
have been treated in vain by the most
prominent physicians Of this state.
II you have chronic disease you
are simply postponing a cure by being
treated by one who does not. under

ment is worse than no treatment. The
sensible, practical thing to do is 10

tiers.
From the Portland (Me.) Press.
H. c. Taylor manager of the Ameri-
can Collecting Agency. has come back
from the Dead River region and
brought with him black bear that
weighs 2S0 pounds and buck that is
only 40 pounds lighter 1t was only
after putting a second bullet into bruin
at short range, about twenty yards
away only, that the brute toppled over,
and Mr.. Taylor appreciated the stu
alton right well, for he did not have
with him any convenient tree for
climbing, and bears climb trees, any
way.
He had shot his two deer and was
out cruising around the woods in the
hope of soaring up a moose. 1t was
about four miles from camp, half way
up a mountain side, that he came
across the black brute, eating beech
nuts. AS the scenery was particularly
fine there Mr.. Taylor had taken his
camera along to snapshot any striking
bit of landscape, and he made ready
to get a picture of a deer in his
natural state, for he though the rust
ling in the leaves was made by a deer.
Imagine his surprise when an opening
in the bushes showed a bear.
The camera was focused to take in
the object whatever it was and he
snapped the button, dropped the kodok,
and grabbed his rifle. A hasty air was
all he could make and the discharge
sent a 1890 bullet through the body of
the animal, back of and below the
heart. 1t was a bad wound for his
majesty, but served only to enrage him
at the time. He dropped to all fours
and came numbering with menancing
growls toward the hunter.
With the utmost rapidity Mr.. Taylor
slipped another shell into the chamber
and drew a bead on the brute's head.
II was a perfect shot and over went
the bear as he was lunging through
the underbrush. A few vain efforts TO
regain his feet and reach his assailant
and he fell back and expired. Those
wicked claws and wide open mouth
would have unnerved some men and
been to their undoing, for a few feet
further and the bear would have sprung
on him. One shot, we'll directed, did
the business, however This is the sec
ond black bear that has been shot there

why they could not play too.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE ROSE
GARDEN.


GARDEN.
There was a beautiful rose garden
back of the house where Peter and
Ellen lived. There were yellow roses
and red roses and white roses and pink
roses, and o. every kind of rose that
you can think of in that wonderful
garden.
And as long as they were in bloom
Peter and Ellen would never go out of
the garden to play.
/ And every morning Peter and Ellen
would lead the little white pony down
through the garden to see the beauti-
full roses.
You must not touch one, not one,
Baby Louise" Peter would say. Roses
were made for little ponies to smell,
and look at and love, but not to nib
BILE or eat"
And the little white pony would hold
up her head, and sniff the air, and
look at the roses with her bright eyes,
as though she would say:

Now, Jock, you may look at the
lovely roses, but you must not touch

But o, Jock was a rogue, as little
Ellen soon learned. He would snatch
off big scarlet rose, and pull himself
free. and run up tree and chatter
and laugh as though he would say:
"Roses may not be for good little
ponies to nibble or eat, but. see, see!

And just then the parrot came trip

And Polly called in coaxing tone:
Come, Jock; come, boy!"
And after a very long time Jock
came down from the tire, and Peter
| put him on the little white pony's
back, and started down the garden
path, between the rose bushes.
And Polly put her head on one side
and said:
Look out for your hail"
And o, Polly was very cross, be-
cause little Ellen pointed her finger
at her and laughed. She fiuttered her
wings and ruff1ed her feathers and
said:

Pros ecutor Fithian simply answered
by stating that counsel for the de-
fense had misconceiyed the meaning
of felonious attempt.
Judge Trenchard said that he
thought that the case was fairly left
to the jury, and that the law of this
State was settled that when person
removed the property of another and
there was no intent to return it to
the owner, the defendant was guilty
of a felonious intent. The motion
for new trial was refused.
Mr.. Bacon then served upon the
Court writ of error and ordered
that the defendant be admitted to
bail.
Judge Trenchard acknowledged
the writ and said that a conviction
having been secured the bail would
be fixed at $1,000. In company with
Constable James Newcomb, Mr..
Dare went to to secure bondsmen.
Andrew Wells was then removed to
the bar for sentence. Andrew asked
if he might say word to the Court.
The reply was in the Affirmative.
Wells, in faltering voice. SAID that
he knew that Mr.. Dare did intend to
return that horse. Wells declared
that he was everywhere branded as a
horse thief and liar, but before
God, he declared, he was not guilty
of stealing the horse. He had not
said all there was, but he wouldn't
say what he had in his mind. He
would take his dose like man.
Judge Trenchard then said to Wells
that the one thing that was of weight
in his favor, was that he had saved
the county the expense of trial.
Wells thereupon was sentenced to
State Prison for ten months at hard
labor.
John Newkirk was brought in from
Jail and retracted his plea of not
guilty of the illegal sale of liquor,
and pleaded non vult.
Prosecutor Fithian then moved the
Indictment against Newkirk, charg-
ing him with corruptly attempting
to influence witnesses before the
Grand Jury.
Mr.. Newkirk was represented by
Messrs. Walter H. Bacon and Samuel
Iredell. There was little difficulty
in getting a jury together and the
case proceeded smoothly. The testi-
mony was very much to the point.
Charles Bowen, for instance. said
that he had visited Newkirk's bot
tling place out ON the Shiloh pike
upon more than one occasion and had
purchased beer in quantities of a
half dozen or dozen bottles. Along
about the second of January last
Bowen was subpoenaed before the
Grand Jury, and when he visited the
Court House, he was met by New
kirk and the defendant asked him if
he could not 60 before the Grand
jury and testify that he never bought
beer of him in less quantities than
two crates, and stick to it. Newkirk
explained that if Bowen would do
this, 1t would save him S175.
Bowen said he declined to do this.
and Newkirk urged him strongly to
do it,

longing. Then the trio of defen-
dantS became involved in an argu-
ment. One man made the remark
that he believed the sand in the Bay
had washed over the line. One of
the other men said he didn't believe
it. Then bet was made, quart of
rum being the wager. The men
then took their longing poles and be-
gan to punch down into the bottom
of the Bay to see whether there was
sand or mud down here. 1t was
while this investigation was in pro-
greSs that the officers were spying
upon them and deciding they were
longing. 1t seemed almost a pity
that such an ingenious defense should
90 for naught. But the juries could
not take the betting story. First
the twelve men in the Scott case filed
out and came back with verdict of
guilty. Then Robbins was convicted,
and as promptly verdict of guilty
was rendered against Barrett.
This was a pretty full days work
and Court thereupon adjourned.
Wednesday Morning.
Directly following the formal ouen-
ing of the Court, Judge Trenchard
said that in the matter of the motion
to amend the record of the case
against Harry r. Dare, he had been
unable to find anything in the case
to justify him in amending the rec
ord and he. therefore over ruled the
motion to amend the Court records.
Are you ready to move for sen
tence in this case'?' asked the Court
of Prosecutor Fithian.
9 l am, "replied that officer and he
handed up the Indictment
"Shcriff you will send for Andrew
K. Wells,' directed the Court.
Harry r. Dare,n called Judge
Trenchard. The Constable looked at
his counsel, received from Mr.. Iredell
an affirmative nod, and arose in his
place.
Judge Trenchard then said Mr..
Dare, | have considered all the cir
cumstanceS as l believe them to be
in your case. The recc crdS show you
have been found guilty of larceny by
the Jury. The matter was purely a
question for the jury, and 1 think
the verdict was justified. l have
considered all the phases of the case.
and given them weight in your favor.
The fact that you are an officer of
this Court weighs heavily against
you. The sentence of the Court is
that you stand committed to the
State Prison at New Jersey, at hard
labor, for term of one year."
There was buzz in the Court
room, and Walter H. Bacon, for the
defendant, moved for a new trial.
Mr.. Bacon strongly contended that
the verdict was against the weight of
evidence and contrary to the proof
shown by the testimony of witnesses.
There was but one thing that could
be considered by the Jury the ques-
tion of larceny. That the jury could
not convict Dare of larceny, to Mr..
Bacon's mind, was evidenced by the
fact that no feIoniouS intent was
shown. There was no testimony, no
intimation, Mr.. Bacon contended.
that the horse was taken to convert
the use of the property to the ac-
cused. He strongly urged that the
Court should again give the defen-
dant the opportunity of submitting
this matter to a jury.

Upon the question of whether the
bill VIII help temperance or Will work
against it The Star will not enter,
though, in passing, It can be remarked
that bill, professedly drawn in the
cause of temperance, which holds out
as a bait that strong drink shall be
cheaper. is hardly coming up to the
standard that might be expected.
The fact is that the community at
large wants a great deal more informa-
ton upon this matter than it has at
present. Meantime the city and coun-
ty bills, If ever they can be got into
