Colby defeated Coburn in a practice

STILL CONFIDENT.
Sir Thomas Upton Thinks
Challenger Will Win.
Mill Exert Every Effort to Have the
Boat in Trim.
Shamrock III Will Be Repaired Inside
of Four Weeks.

Weymouth, Eng, April 19.-The two
Shamrocks left here, today, at noon, for
Southampton. The challenger was
lowed by the Erin.
Sir Thomas Upton was interviewed,
this morning. before the departure of
the yachts. Describing the accident of
last week, he said: when the chal-
lenger lost her mast she was almost
fiat; there were certainly six feet of
water over her lee deck. My first i'm
preston when the mast went, was that
the boat was sinking. / scrambled up
on deck and found everything gone and
the boats out doing rescue work.
never saw the seaman Collier in the
water
Sir Thomas was bewildered at the
suddenness of the accident and said
what Immediately followed seemed to
him like the confused remembrance of
a dream.
Questioned as to his future course he
said he meant to work day and night to
get the yacht refitted in time for fur
Their trials before sailing for New York.
His desire was to avoid postpOnement
of the races
Mr.. Ward, Designer Fife and Capt.
Wringe have had a conference and have
promised to put the challenger in rae
ing trim again in three weeks. 1t will
be n big job Designer Fife has con-
demned the boom gaff mast and top
sail spars of the yacht and they will all
be removed as will the sails
The decision against postponement
of the races was reached, last night,
after long consultation and, this
morning. Sir Thomas sent the following
cablegram to G. A. Cormack, secretary
of the New York Yacht Club:
Il am pleased to inform you that the
damage to the Shamrock III will be
righteG in three OF four weeks. There
will be no necessity of considering the
question of a postponement. Please
communicate this to your committee
and also convey my warmest thanks for
their expressions of sympathy"
Sir Thomas said he saw nothing in
the recent accident to lessen the great
confidence he felt in the Shamrock III.
IF racing yachts are to be built" he
said there must be some risk If we
built a vessel as safe as liner we
might as well keep her at home for any
chance she would have of winning the
cup
Designer Fife took the same view; he
has never appeared so confident as he
is now.
Mr.. Ward said he was surprised and
disappointed at the accident. The
screws were the same as those used on
the Shamrock III. He explained that
every precaution had been taken; over
200 tests had been made of the fitting
and he had had the utmost confidence
in every detail of this part of the equip
ment.
The body of Collier has not been re-
covered. Sir Thomas Upton has offer
ed reward for, it's recovery and has
made provision for Golfers widow and
children.

KEEP CHEERFUL AND COOL.
Absence of Worry VIII Conduce to
Bodily Comfort in the Heated
Season.

That hot weather is trying to the
nerves, there is no %gainsaying, but
there is a way to help yourself to bear
what might be termed "a necessary
evil" and that is to make up your
mind that nothing shall worry you, adj
vises American Queen. Of course, it is
very easy to wax eloquent on the sub
Ject of mo worry" but it is equally
true that the preacher does not always
practice what he breaches. 1t is easier
to give advice than to follow it, but
the suggestion given above is the re-
suit OF experience, and If it works in
one case, why not in MERCHANDISING?
1t will be conceded by all that worry
does make every trial less endurable;
when the thermometer is in the eigh-
ties it Is all the more potent for dis
comfort. Everybody knows also that
worry never does any good and always
does harm. Another idea that perhaps
is not fully realized is that the disas-
ters which we anticipate seldom befall
us. In other words, we worry ourselves
to death over things that never hap
pen. Hence it will be seen by ever the
most chronic worrier that borrowing
trouble is illogical and silly; that it
doesn't pay and that it aggravates
rather than remedies.
When these facts are fully realized
It is a surprising thing that we do not
Choose the better part of valor."
Cheerfulness is a positive force,
which builds up; worry a negative
force, which pulls down. Realize that
things are not in any sense going to
perdition and that the world will wag
on whether you will it or not, as will
also your household and other affairs,
and that you and all about you will be
the better-and keep cooler-for the
absence Of worry.

MODISH FEMININE FANCIEs.
Attractive Features of some Of the
Costumes Now Commanding
Attention.

A round hat with a wide brim and
medium crown is made entirely Of
quillings of white tulle and has no
trimming except a paradise plume of
shaded yellow feathers placed on one
side near the front.
In the same shop was seen a hat
made of very fine all-over nainsook
embroidery. There vas a two-inch bor-
der around the brim and another
around the upper part of the crown of
yellow straw. The trimming was white
satin ribbon and white doves wings,
reports the New York Post.
Wells are ample in size and rather ex-
pensive. Some Of them are lace bor-
dered and have embroidered and hem
stitched hens. A white chiffon veil in a
window had a tiny ruffie of pin plaits
Of the chiffon.
An attractive hair ornament dis
played among other art jewels is a
pure white aigrette which springs from
a topaz as large as ones thumbnail. No
gold is visible, and the gem looks like
a drop of amber light. Three topazes
set on fine gold wires appear among
the feathers.
Near by were a group of exquisite
necklaces, mere strings of very small
pearls. One had pendants set closely
together of moonstone; a second had
topaz pendants, and another's pendants
were garnets, pale sapphires, opais,
peridots and other stones, all beautiful
u none of any great value. It's effect
was barbaric but not at all bizarre.
A new lace in an importing house
is OF Persian make. Some of it resem-
bles Teneriffe, and comes in wheels of
various sizes from very small to the
size of a silver 25-cent piece. It is
finer than Teneriffe lace and is effect
lively used for collars and for inserts.
Jet jewelry is being displayed in the
shops, but it has not yet achieved n
great popularity. Necklaces, chains and
dog collars of exquisite workmanship
are shown, as well as every conceiv-
able variety of comb, hairpin and hair
ornament, Lockets, hearts and crosses
OF cut jet look old-fashioned and
quaint.
Fan chains Of Jet or coral beads are
pretty. Amber, especially the milky,
clouded amber beads, are good, as they
go well with almost any color.
One of the most attractive fabrics for
shirtwaist suits is found only in one
or two Japanese importing hourses. It
is a white Japanese cotton crepe, en-
broidered in red CT blue polka dots and
French knots. The crepe is 80 inches
wide and costs 65 and rs cents the yard.
Plain Japanese crepe in white and light
colors may be had for % cents a yard,
and the crinkly surface makes up we'll
with a touch of white embroidery or
heavy lace.

THE BOY.

The barefoot boy is coming, and right
now he has the blues,
Because his cautious mother will not let
him shed his shoes.
He's anxious for the freedom of the bare
foot boy at dawn,
Who does not have to bother with the
footwear girls put on.
He van to wade in water every morn
ing when he goes
TO school with other youngsters, and get
mud between his toes.
he will be here,
With feet as tough and dirty as they
could be made, / fear.
He'll nave stone bruises on them and will
oft be walking lame,
And yet you may be certain he'll be happy
just the same.
He'll stub a toe quite often, yet a little
thing like that
Won't feaze him for a minute! He'll be
Johnny at the bat.
The barefoot boy is coming, and If you
were once a boy
You know that when we see him we will
find him full of joy.
He will not mind the bruises! Has not
every %youngster paid
In injured feet-full value for the chance
he got to wade?
He will not mind mosquitoes, nor for
briar scratches care;
And he will sneer at stockings-when his
sunburned feet are bare!

GERMAN ~WINE-GROWERS.
We're Denounced Nearly Four Cen.
turtles Ago for Their Foul
DecOctiOns.

The wine growers of Germany have
always had an evil repute, as a class.
Nearly four centuries ago Erasmus de-
nounced them with burlesque violence,
protesting that all the ills which af-
ficted his old age were due to the
foul decoctions he drank when an in
nocent youth, although he had most
| carefully avoided German wines for
many years, says the London Stand
ard. The trial of DR.. Schlamp Won
Hofe aus Nferstein shows that his fra
ternity still practice the ancestral arts,
with improvements suggested by mod
ern science. 1t was proved that this
ingenious parsonage, one of the larg-
est wine growers of the country, first
added so per cent. of water to his vint-
age Then he mixed a quantity of
cheap Greek wine, and fortified the
whole with ammonia, fannie acid, gel
atine, ~isinglass, raisins and sugar, fin
ishing with a few drops of some mys-
FERROUS liquid which he carried in his
pocket. The fine is G75, or imprison-
ment for 800 days in default. DR..
Schlamp urged the public prosecutor
to spare him, on the ground that near
ly all his colleagues did the like, and
exposures would ruin the wine trade.
1t was a ~businesslike argument, but
the prosecutor heard it unmoved.

IMMUNITY FROM MALARIA.
Nearly One-Fifth of the Military
Scouts i'm the Philippines
Have Parasites.

Medical men in the Philippines have
been examining the blood of a large
number of the natives for indications
of malaria. They say that 10 per cent.
(or nearly one-ffth) Of the military
scouts have the characteristic parasites
of malaria in their systems, yet with
out exhibiting other symptoms, reports
the New York Tribune. Of. course,
such people are a source of danger,
because there is a chance that, by Bit
ing them. mosquitoes may become in
fected, and thus be able to transmit
the germs to other persons. Observa-
tons, like those reported in the Phil
ippines, have been made in Africa, too;
so that there can be little question
about the general fact.
Although it is a comparatively new
revelation that some persons are i'm
mune against malaria while others are
susceptible, the existence of such diff
ferences in the danger of infection
from other diseases has long been
known. One man will take yellow
fever, for instance, when another sim
ilarly exposed will be proof against it.
With smallpox, humps, measles and
some other disorders immunity is inn
parted by one attack, SO that the pa
tient rarely has a second. Aside from
the partial protection which comes
about in this way, there seems to be a
much higher power Of resistance
against a first attack with some people
than others. This is conspicuous when
they are exposed to danger from-tuber-

YELLOW DOG IS THE BEST.
Buff or Orange Was the Original Color
of the More A~ristOcratic
Bulldog.

A young naval officer returned to the
city recently from an extended cruise
throughout the waters of the eastern
hemisphere, and, as usual, brought
home many curious and unusual
things, says the Washington Post.
Of these none is more worthy
of emention than an exceeding
Iy handsome specimen of the Eng
fish bulldog, presented to the Off
GER by a friend, who resides in a re-
mote and old-fashioned quarter of
England. In the opinion of local ca
nine experts, this particular animal,
Rex is his name, is perfect so far as
form is concerned. but exceedingly "off
color" In fact, Rex is what nowadays
is very rarely seen in bulldogs: o
bright buff, or orange yellow, and this
color spoils him as a show animal.
The fashionable color for modern bull
dogs, bull terriers, etc, is brindled
black and dun, with or without white
spots; in fact, most any color other
than yellow.
Yet in one sense this same yellow
color should render Rex doubly valu-
able. Buff or orange yellow was the
original color of the English bulldog,
back in the days of good Queen Bess
and down as late as the days when
Dickens wrote of Bill Sykes. Then for
some reason the yellow color became
unpopular and breeders set about
eliminating the Objectionable hue, so
that for nearly q century the yellow
bulldog has been a thing unknown and
forgotten. Yet in certain old-fashioned
stock-raising districts Of England, such
as the West Riding of Yorkshire, the
primitive buff yellow bulldog still ex-
lists and continues to be the favorite of
drovers who employ the animal for
the same purpose as their ancestors
used him centuries ago and from
which the animal received the name
namely, for catching and holding
fierce and %intractable male bovines by
the nose Cattle are extremely sensi-
tive about the nose and a strong, Cour-
ageous bulldog car seize and hold a
refractory bovine for any short length
of time until secured with ropes, the
huge animal fearing to move lest the
pain to his sensitive nostrils be in
creased by the sharp teeth of the dog.
Therefore Rex, who first saw the light
of day in the region where the print
tive bulldog is still to be found. de-
serves mention as the sole specimen
of the ancient race of English bulldogs
in Washington, if not in the entire
EAST.
