Il used Father Johns Medicine for

have had every winter for - thirty
one years, and must say that of all the
medicines I have used (and believe
that / have used every kind that is adj
vertised and every one that anybody
would tell me of / never found any,
thing to help me as Father Johns
Medicine has. Since taking it am
able to do my work myself, as I have
not done for years. For the past two
winters l have never been without a
bottle of it in the house, and just as
soon as or any one of the family have
the least sign of a cold we take Father
Johns Medicine and find relief at
once. 1 could write something good
about it every day and 1 recommend
it to all my friends and neighbors. I
hope this letter will enable others to
be helped as I have been. (Signed)

INFORMATION REQUESTED
From Minister at Bogota as to the
Canal Treaty Situation.

Washington. Aug. 20.-Minister Beaupre
at Bogota has been asked by the state
department to send more definite infor-
nation concerning proceedings about the
isthmian canal treaty. but there is nc
way of telling how long the message will
be delayed, owing to the interrupted tele-
gram communication between Buena
Ventura and Bogota
The fact that two messages of the same
date reached the department with an in
terVal of four days between them shows
now irregular this mode OF communication
has become. The trouble seems to be with
the land lines and it is understood tina
heavy tropical growth has interfered with
the wires.
The only dispatch received today. from
Minister Beauprc was dated the 18th. and
was very Indefinite. although it conveys
the impression that further efforts are
being made to secure favorable action
upon the treaty.

The Cups England Has Won.

Unlike the America cup, which has
never returned to England since it left
our shores SO years ago, says an Eng
lish paper, the Brenton Reef cup has
been won and held for some years by a
British boat.
This was the Genesta of the Royal
Yacht Squadron, the same vessel which
in 1885, made gallant attempt to cap
ture the America cup, but was beaten
by Puritan. Again, in 1885, the yawl
Wendur won the same cup, and brought
it to England, only to have it recap
tured by Mr.. Phelps Navahoe in 1898.
In the same year that Genesta failed
to win the America cup she succeeded
in carrying off another trophy from the
United States in the shape of the Cape
May cup. She beat the American YES
sci Dauntless in this race, and the cup
remained in England until 1898, when
the all-conquering Navahoe won it
back, as we'll as securing the Brenton
Reef cup.
The Ailsa cup is one of the most
beautiful yachting trophies in exist
ance, from an artistic point of view. 1t
is a huge punch bowl, with a capacity
of 80 quarts. This cup was won by
the Kings yacht Britannia, but after
ward fell to the cutter Ailsa, in a So
mile race off Nice in May, 1895.
The most valuable yachting cup in
existance is the American steam yacht
challenge cup, which weighs IS pounds,
and cost no less than $4,000. 1t was
made in 1885, for the American Steam
Yacht Club as a perpetual challenge
cup, but no challenge has ever yet been
received for it.
The fact is that steam yacht racing,
though a fascinating idea, would be so
extremely apt to end in disaster, and is
so terribly costly, that it has not yet
become a recognized branch of sport.

near as possible to the direction from
which the wind is blowing.
Close reach means that the wind
strikes the vessel forward of beam.
Beam means the width of the vessel or
an imaginary line at right angles to its
length.
Broad reach means that the wind
strikes the vessel aft the beam. aft
is in the direction of the stern of the
vessel.
Down the wind, running and going
free mean that the wind strikes the
vessel directly over the stern. The
stern is the after part of the vessel.
Starboard-The side of the vessel to
the right when facing the bow. The
bow is the forward part of a vessel on
either side.

How the Cup Was Won.

Mr.. John G. Stevens was the first
commodore of the New York Yacht
Club. He was intrepid, a bold sailor,
and fearless in his belief that Ameri-
can built boats We're the 1leeteSt and
staunchest in the world.
Commodore Stevens organized a syn
dictate composed of himself, George L.
Schuyler. James Hamilton, Hamilton
Wilkes and j. 3. Finlay.
George Steers, a veteran builder had
designed several new pilot boats along
new and original lines. They had
proved extremely fast. The order for
the schooner christened the America
was given to him. All boats prior to
Steers models had called for fulness
forward.
The America was tried in these
waters and proved her fitness to cross
the ocean to meet the best boats of
the Royal Yacht Squadron. There was
considerable correspondence and final
ly the Royal Yacht Squadron offered
a 100 guinea cup to be contested for
by all nations. The New York Yacht
Club jumped at the chance. The event
was scheduled for Aug. %, 1851. The
course was from Cowes around the Isle
of Wight.
Out of Is entries Is yachts started.
There were eight cutters and seven
schooners. The tonnage ranged from
AZ to 1872 tons.
The starters were:
Schooner Beatrice, 161 tons, Sir w.
p. Carew.
Cutter Voante, As tons, J. L. Craigie
Cutter Arrow, 81 tons, J. Chamber
layne.
Schooner Wyvern, 2O5 tons, Duke of
Marlborough.
Schooner lone, IS TONS A. Hill.
Schooner Constance, 21S tons, Mar
quis of Conyngham.
Schooner GYPSY, 100 tons, Sir H. b.
Hoghton.
Cutter Alarm, 1872 tons, ]. Weed
Cutter Mona. 50 tons, Lord A. Paget.
Schooner America, 10 tons, J. C.
Stevens ct al.
Schooner Brilliant, 1872 tons, G. H.
Ackers.
Cutter Bacchante, so tons, B. H.
Jones.
Cutter Freak, so tons. w. Curling.
CutterAEclipse, so tons, H. S. Far
row.
Cutter Aurora, Al tons, T. LIE Mer-
chant.
There was no time when the Amer
lea did not lead the fleet. The Aurora
was the nearest boat on the home
stretch. She was about eight miles be-
hind. Two accidents to the America
delayed her somewhat, but the race
was never in doubt.
The English yachtsmen classed the
victory in the nature of fiuke. Com
modore Stevens offered to wager 6 25,-
zoe and remain in England six months
for the Britons to build boat. The
offer was not accepted. And so the
America sailed for home. bringing with

Statement from the President in Re-
gard to Certain Matters
Which Will Be CheerfuIIy Accepted by
All True Men.

Oyster Bay, L. L., Aug. 20.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has made applicable all
departments of the government service
the principle he enunciated at the time
he reinstated VIM. A. Miller to the pos
ition in the government printing office
from which Miller had been dismissed
because of a disagreement with the
Bookbinders Union. The President has
plainly stated to the members of his
cabinet that that principle is to ''in-
dictate the policy of the President" in
similar cases.
Tonight, the President authorized
the publication of letter signed by
Mr.. Barnes, acting secretary, which
was sent to each member of his cabinet
