OUTLAWS on these vessels have been ex-
aggernted In order TO excite public In

Importance of those engaging In them.
But Sir Thomas's loss on one OF his ves-
sells, and facts and figures giyon by
Mr.. Thomas w Lawson Of Boston. IN
his superb book, THE Lawson History
Of the Americas Cup would without
stronger evidence clear away all doubt
IN this matter.
Mr.. lawson, It will be remembered,
IS the fnancier and millionaire who had
constructed for him the yacht hide,

unbia and the Constitution for the pur-
pose Of selecting defender OF the cup

demand of the New York Yacht club

TO this must be added-to complete the

eating over 100000 and miscellaneous
disbursements. These additions brought
the total cost of the yacht at the close

further melancholy item TO the effect
that SS,sil was paid for breaking up the
vessel Having been designed solely MS
a racing machine, she was wholly un-
adapted for the ordinary purposes of

the functions of a racer she was no

New York, Oct 26.-Tne fact that Sir
Henry Irving Is to he propelled through
the country upon the whirlwnd basis

probability his production OF Dante"
will be sufficient for the occasion of the
present visit Of this actor. The play
certainly would not do for an extended

American cities, for 1t Ia intensely
gloomy long winded and tiresome. The

splendors of its scenic equipment are

apparent that even Sir Henry is Just

ably Is, the fact remains that Irving

Does His Own Housework at 80 and

 A letter from the town of Sterling, on the Rhode Island line. has this to say about we'll known resident:
 Barton Keigwin, a lifelong resident of this region, reached the year of four score April 9. The people of the Line meeting house, of which he is the oldest living member, helped him cele- brate his birthday by gathering in large numbers at his home in Oneco in the afternoon. An address was made by his, pastor. The ladies fur nished a collation.. His married chill dren, unable to be present, sent sub stantial presents In reminder of the day. He lives alone, cooks, washes, irons and cultivates an ample garden. Regularly he walks five miles to his own church, in which he takes a great interest. He leads large Bible class of adults in the Sunday school. He always has a cordial invitation to dine before his return walk of five miles home. Often he remains for the evening meeting and walks home af- terward. His eye is undimmed and his natural forces unabated and his mind very active, He uniformly studies out the Sunday school lessons in the origi- nal Greek Testament. e..
