left behind to be sent for later. The
Kerston family offered to care for Min
ME, the oldest child, until arrange
Inents were made for the family to
join Mr.. Seholle in Chicago. and their
offer was accepted by Mrs. Scholfe.
Some time later, however. when Mrs.
Scholle received money from her huS-
band to pay her face to Chicago, the
Kerston family had disappeared, TAX
ing with them the Scholle child. It
was later learned that Mrs. Kerston
was playing a hand-organ about the
streets and saloons of Minneapolis,
compelling the little girl to accompany
her On her tips about the city.
Mrs. Scholle attempted to secure pos
session of her child, but owing to
lack of money and her ignorance of the
laws of this country, was unable to do
so, and was compelled to go to Chi
cago without her.
From that time the mother never
heard of her daughter until yesterday,
when she was restored to her. In the
meantime the father had died, and the
mother, with her other children, had
returned to st. Paul from Chicago.
Soon after the Scholles departed for
Chicago, the Minneapolis authorities
took the child from the Kerstons and
sent her to the state school, the little
one having been found in saloon
begging while Mrs. Kerston played a
hand-organ.
The child was kept at the state
school five years. when Mrs. Kerston
agains succeeded in getting possession
OF her. The Kerstons at this time
lived at Belle Plaine. in Scott county,
and having been successful in money
matters had retired and were living in
much better style than when they
We're in Minneapolis. The child lived
with them and was we'll treated until
a year ago, when the family is said to
have commenced treating her badly.
Finally her treatment became such
that she could no longer stand it. and
she wrote to the superintendent of the
state school, who went to Belle Plaine
+ and again took her from the Kerstons.
She was given a home with Mrs. John
Maloney, in Belle Plaine, and the
school authorities commenced a search
for her parents.
1t was finally learned that Mrs.
Scholle was living in st. Paul, and the
girl was returned to her, reaching her
yesterday, after an absence from her
mother of fifteen years.
The girl remembers but little of her
mother. but when seen at her home
last night stated. that she was glad
to- be returned to her mother. She
said she had been so cruelty treated by
Mrs. Kerston during the last time she
I lived with her that she had at numer-
Gus times planned to escape, but had
never been able to carry out her plan
Mrs. Scholle is still in poor circun-
stances, but she was happy yesterday
over the restoration of her daughter
who was taken from her so many
years ago.

Reliance Starts for Home.
Turning for home her spinnaker
boom, which has been like a. lance in
rest, fell to port and her big sail burst
forth and at the same time her enor-
nous jfb top balloon sail bellied for
ward. The crowds eheered. But al mo-
nent afterwards there was 1isfnay
when the guy that held the spinnaker
pole parted or was carried away. The
enormous sail swerved aIoft and. tllrf-
bled over the jib topsail, cola psing
like an empty meal sack. But the spar
was soon hauled bSek into place. and
then, with her three balloon sails set
ting like plaster, the yacht sped home
before the following wind like a scared
deer.
The feet remained to salute the
Shamrock as she rounded, and then
with a jingle of bells in the engine
rooms, scampered away for the finish
line to be in at the death.
| In setting her balloon Jill the Sham
rock encountered another piece of bad
luck. One of the stops would not
break out and the sail hung for some
minutes like limp rag on the stay.
When both had been squared away for
home it was seen that Reliance was

STORY OF THE FIRST
DEFEAT OF SHAMROCK III.

NEW YORK, Aug. PA snappy
southwest wind was blowing when, a
few minutes after 10 o'clock Shamrock
III, followed by Reliance, reached
Sandy Hook 1ights1nip.
The two racers whirled in big circles
about the line awaiting the signal to
go, until 1890 when the regatta COM
mittee's steamer signa1ed that the
starting line would be shifted and the
races postponed until later in the day
The preparatory signal was fired at
1880 and the warning gun at 1I:40.
The wind was Increasing in weight

took whirl around the Unique at the
farther end of it and Shamrock III
now taking the lead, ran. cIcse- ha uled
along the lee side Of the starting line.
At the flash of the Navigator's gun at
40 both luffed across the line. Sham
rock III had almost reached the end
Of it and luffed out by the Navfgator's
bow with her headsails Fitting. Re-
lance was four seconds behind her on

carrying three lower sails and club

opportunity was afforded to note how
close the contest really was. Reliance
and Shamrock H. were approaching
each other,x tn the former on the
starboard tack and having the right
of way. As they .neared one another
it was a question which was leading.
Shamrock was forced to go about to
avoid ia. collision. One hours work
had given neither the advantage They
held that tack for twenty minutes.
Shamrock Ill suddenly went about and
Reliance followed suit, only to see
Shamrock return to her former course.
Plainly it was Capt Wringe's trick
to shake off the defender, which must
have been threatening to blanket the
British boat. As soon as Shamrock I'll.
got clear of Reliance it lay a parallel
course. The wind began to moderate
bit and wise observers asserted that
Reliance had a half minute advantage.

quarter of a mile apart and a mile.

CURED was to the advantage of the
defending yacht. AS this shift of the
wind occurred on the windward beat,
even granting that it accounted for
ReIianec,5 lead at the turn, the time
the defender gained on the run home
was more than ample to have given
her the race.

HOUSE HAS NOTHING TO DO.
Course 1t May Take When 1t Has
Assembled.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The House
will meet Tuesday. Having disposed
of the Cuban bill 1t has no business
before it, and unless an agreement is
effected by which the called session
is to be brought to an early close, an
adjournment probably will be taken
until Friday and then an adjournment
until Monday or Tuesday.
1t is suggested that it is extremely
doubtful if there will be quorum
Tuesday and, If the point of no quorum
should be raised, 1t would be impos-
sible to act on q concurrent resolution
providing for an adjournment, even
should one be brought over from the
Senate. Some of the House leaders
have expressed themselves in opposi-
ton to an adjournment before the Gu
ban bill shall have been disposed of,
but what might be the result of
conference between the leaders of the
Senate, and House on this proposition
remains to be seen.
1t is possible that the speaker may
be ready to announce the committee
assignments at the opening of the reg
ular session next month to proceed to
business. Members of both sides of
the House are mindful of the conven-
tions, which are to be held next year,
and the desire will be to rush the work
in order that the regular session may
be brought to a close as early as pos
sihle
