CHANGES IN NEW CHALLENGER
Mr.. FIFE DECIDES ON a VESSEL BUILT
ENTIRELY OF STEEL.

London, Sept, Am planning Sir Thomas
Lipton's new challenger Mr. Fife has introQuceo
many unexpected features. His experiences
with recent challengers have made him dis
trustful of new metals and alloys, and ne mas
decided to drop them Consequently. the con-
tract which the Dennys have in hand provides
for the building of a Cup racer wholly OF steel
The frames are to be bubed, angle steel, ana
the plating will be thin plates of nickel steel
The Dennys' experimental tank has been
used but the experiments have not been al
lowed as previously, to dominate the model
The boat will be prepared at Farlie, principally
from knowledge of the faults and conditions
which the designer recognized in the first Lip
ton challenger This completed model when
tested, may be found satisfactory and no altera-
tions may be made.
This Is directly opposite 10 Mr. Watson's
method for Shamrock H. which was evolved en-
tirely from tank experiments Mr. Fife declines
to discuss the matter but long prior 70 the talk
Of even the second Shamrock he said that with
his knowiedse Of the faults of Shamrock [ he
was confident ne could produce a boat fifteen
minutes faster over the Cup course.
Commenting on the preparations being made
on the Clyde in connection with Sir Thomas
Lipton's intention to challenge again for the

NAY GET MORE PAY.
Thought That State Superintendent
Isn't Paid Enough.

The next session of the State Teach
ers' association next December will
probably ask the legislature to raise the
salary of the state superintendent Of
public instruction up even with other
state officers. At present the state SUI
perintendent receives only 81 1000 a year,
while the secretary of state. attorney
general, auditor and other officers of
that rank receive 81, 500. The legisla-
ture will be asked to increase the salary
of the superintendent from $1,000 to ST.
zoo.
John Macdonald, editor of the West
ern School Journal, publishes the fol-
lowing editorial on this subject In his
September issue:
THE teachers of Kansas should ask
the legislature to increase the salary of
the state superintendent of public in
struction from $1,000 to $500. At the
session of 1901, the salaries of the secre-
tary of the board Of agriculture and OF
the superintendent of insurance were
advanced. It is an indignity to the pro-
fession and to the schools that the state
Superintendent OF schools should be
paid lower salary than any other
elective state officer"

QUEER DEMOCRATS.

Concord, N. H, Sept. 10-The Demo-

In his speech, which was somewhat re-
markable for its partial endorsement OF
some of the acts of President Roosevelt,
Chairman Clarence E. Carr demanded
the right OF suffrage for women, local
option, reciprocity with Cuba, change
in the tariff, the restriction of trusts and
self-government of the Philippines. The
platform demands the immediate abo-
lition of all tariffs on all trust-made ar
ticles, the most stringent enforcement
of all existing laws against trusts, the
passing of new laws to supplement ex>
listing statutes of this nature, and espe-
cially prohibiting corporations and
trusts. other than banks and insur-
ance companies, from holding stock in
other corporations. demanding lower
duties upon the necessaries of life, free
trade with our insular possessions and
a gradual reduction in all tariffs, until
the revenue is reduced to the needs of
an economical administration of the
government"
1t opposes all subsidies to shipping or
other special interests; demands an i'm
mediate declaration of the purpose of
the United States to give to the Philip
pines at an early date complete home
rule and entire Independence and calls
for an immediate and substantial re-
duction of the tariff on Cuban imports
by reciprocity treaty or otherwise.

BITTEN BY A WILDCAT.

Albany, Sept. 1O.-James Cavanaugh
of this city and his nephew, Samuel Nc
Guigan of Midway Greene county, had
an encounter with q wildcat. They kill
ed the animal. but not until Mr.. Cava-
naugh's hand had been badly bitten and
Mr.. Cavanaugh was obliged to return to
Albany today to have the wound eau
terized The physician says he will not
lose the hand. but 1t will be useless for
some time.
Mr.. Cavanaugh heard the screech OF
a wildcat in the woods. TIE told his
nephew of what he had heard and they
went into the woods the next day to
secure the animal They were armed
with a shotgun. After beating about
in the woods for some time they heard
a screech. which they traced to a large
tree. and there discovered the animal.
Mr.. Cavanaugh approached carefully.
and. when he was near enough. took
steady aim and fred. The wildcat fell
to the ground, kicking systematically
for an instant, and then lay still.
Cavanaugh and his nephew waited a
few minutes and then approached the
animal. To all appearances it was
dead. and Cavanaugh grabbed it by the
hind legs preparatory to carrying it
away. But that cat had more than one
life, for as soon as Cavanaugh reached
out it curled up and began to fight. 1t
got Cavanaugh's fingers In its teeth and
relatives assistance ana managed to
make the animal release its hold. But
1t did SO only to jump on McGuigan's
shoulder and bite his cheek. Then Cav
anaugh shot 1t and it fell over dead
The wild cat was taken to Catslxill

mountains in some years. being three
feet In length. Cavanaugh's fingers had
been bitten through to the bone.
