SIR THOMAS TAKES BIG
CHANCES FOR THE CUP
Spreads More Canyas-May
Weaken Rigging AlOft.
HANDICAP IS SACRIFICED
Shamrock HIS Time Allowance Re
duced by Two-thirds by New
Style Of Rigging.

Shamrock III has sacrificed a large
portion Of her handicap in the Ameri-
cas- Cup races. BY the change OF rig
which was completed yesterday. The
challenger has doubtless reduced by
from two-thirds to quarters the
time allowance to be granted to her by
the Reliance. This is significant in
view OF Sir Thomas Lipton's expressed
confidence in his new flyers ability to
lift the cup
All yesterday afternoon was spent by
Capt, Wringe and the crew bending on
new suit OF sails. and she win send
aloft today the largest spread OF skirts
ever seen on a challenger
A Desperate Chance.
Upton and Designer Fife have seen
the weakest point OF Shamrock H.
and are making a desperate effort to
overcome It. even at the loss OF salu-
able time allowance.
Running TO leeward or before the
wind. the challenger can scarcely Leaf
her baek-number mate. This has been
her most serious defect. At the risk
by adding tons of dead weight and other
tons OF wind pressure. more driving
power has been given to the yacht.
II is probably a long chance Sir
Thomas Upton is taking, considering
the added danger Of accident. but he
wants that cup. as everybody knows by
this time, and is stalking bis last strand
Of rope yarn on his chances.
Inspects Reliance.
Before leaving Erie Basin with his
fleet yesterday Sir Thomas. accompanied
by Mr.. Fife. made close scrutiny Of
the Reliance. which lay alongside the
Craving dock out of which the ehal-
lenger had come. Sir Thomas closely
scanned the lines OF the latest Herre-
shoff. and there was honest admiration
in his eyes as he took in her clean and
powerful lines from every angle
His comment on the defender gives an
inkling of his present view OF the situ-
alton
she Is a finer vessel than I had been
led 10 believe" said the Irish baronet.
Il see In her no defect that would pre-
vent her from sailing fast. Altogether,
she Is a wholesome craft and credit
to the HerreshOffs.
The Upton feet went down TO Sandy
Hook early yesterday morning in the
pelting rain. but there was no wind and
no race.
Lying side by side with her mate. the
ehaIlenger's new and lofty rig was en-
phasized

Shallenberger had to go about five

him. He had never seen the inside of a

Yet he invented the fastener which

The report of the committee on resC-

Superintendent Sarver, is being COM
mended on all sides by local teacherS

port had been mailed to Superintendent
Sarver, who is especially liberal in his
praise upon the work of the commit
tee. A number of the principles are
of local interest and those CT special
importance are appended:
Teaching in the public schools will
not be suitably attractive and perma-
nent career, nor will it command as
much of the ability of the country as
it should, until the teachers are proper
ly compensated and are assured OF
an undisturbed tenure during efficiency
and good behavior. A large part of the
teachers reward must always be the
pleasure in the character and quality
Of work done; but the money compen-
sation of the teacher should be suffi-
cient to maintain an appropriate stand
ard of living. Legislative measures
to give support to these principles de
serve the approval of the press and
the people.

any system of public education lies
in the regard of the people whom 1,

this reason a large share of the cos
of maintaining public schools should
be borne by local tax levied by tht

purchase a garbage can, and was de-
posting refuse about her premises in
contradiction of the city ordinance
The accused was notified that war
rant was out for her arrest, and she
will probably appear Thursday after
noon.
According to the ordinance the fine
for dumping garbage any place other

Purchased.

Canton is going to have a new po-
lice patrol wagon. This has been said
frequently for countless number OF
years, but at last touch of authority

Of public safety is the authority. He
stated Thursday that the board would
take up the matter in few weeks
and before many days have passed the
city would be rid of the vehicle which
now does service in the police depart

Although the funds of the city are
not as strong as they should be, the
police fund is in fairly good shape, the
expenses drawing upon it being small.
Canton's new wagon will be a COW

oner from the gaze of the inquisitive

DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH.


There are many people who think
that much of what is real culture and
refinement is merely affectation. They
believe that a diamond in the rough
is the only genuine diamond. If man
is sincere, they argue, if he possesses
manly qualities, and is loyal to truth,
no matter how uncouth and course he
may be outwardly, he will be respected
and will be successful.
This argument is good only to linn
tied extent. What is true of an uncut
gem is also true of human diamond
in the rough. No matter how intrinsic
ally valuable they may be, no one
would think of wearing uncut dia.
monds. A man might have a million
dollars worth of such gems; yet, ii
he refused to have them cut and polish
ed, no one would appreciate them,
The unpracticed eye would not be able
to distinguish them from common peb-
bles. They are valuable only in pro-
portion to the degree of brilliancy and
beauty which the diamond cutter can
call out of them.
So, a man may be possessed of many
admirable qualities, but if he insists on
covering them with rough, uncouth
exterior, they will be robbel of much OF
their intrinsic value. They will be dis
covered only by keen observers, or ex-
pert character readers. What cutting
and polishing do for crystallized car

"It is important that school build
