New York, Sept 2.-To-day's at tempts to sail the third race for the America's cup was but repetition of yesterdays failure and the suspense was prolonged at least another day. Under far less favorable conditions than prevailed yesterday the yachts went out to the starting line under tow. Added to the absence of the wind was a heavy fog which interfer- ed with any attempt at racing. The yachts hung about the lightship They did not drop their vtows and their sails hung limp from the rigging. About 11:3O the race was called off for the day.

SOME PRESIDENTIAL POSSI-
BILITIES.

Slou COIIe patient
writes this week Of presidential
possibilities and probabilities
He says:
So far as Mr.. Cleveland and
MIR. Bryan are concerned, we NAV
as well eliminate them to begin
with. Each Of these gentlemen
has many admirers among pubic
meu who visit the national capI-
tai. Many men who have always
been ardent admirers ofCleveland
since his first election as presi.
dent, and who left the party with
him in 1896, and supported the
republicans on the money ques-
ton, have told me that he Is out
of the running as a candidate
next year on account Of the pref
udice against the third term for
any man. Many men yfho 10, ally
supported Mr.. Bryan IN 1896 and
1900 agree that he cannot posi-
bly, be called candidate again.
Inay sdll admire him Tor his
manhood, his briliance Of intel
iect, his Oratory,h his steadfastness
to principle and devotion to the
cause Of the people, but they ad-
NIT that he cannot again be a
candidate.
They realize that the issues will
not De the same next year and
th"l The people have put the seal
Of their condemnation on some
OF the issues on which he twice
led the party 10 defeat. They
appear to realize that the chief
issue next year will be one with
which Mr.. Bryan has not been
sufficiently identifed-the trust
lssue-to make him an available
candidate even if he had not
been brought under the ban of
the displeasure of thousands of
men who will next year support
the democratic ticket on that
very issue. Therefore, they dis
card him as a possibility in the
next race.
Senator Arthur p. German hes
many friends among the men
who come to Washington on off
cial business and many Of them
have named him as the most
available man for the democrats
to nominate next year. They say
that when he returned to the
senate last March after absence
OF four years he was quickly and
gladly given his old place as floor
leader of the democratic forces
In the senate, which proves con-
clusively that his powers as
leader have not been dimmed by
his absence from the senate, that
1t IL so recognized by his col.
leagues, which fact gives him
prestige all over the country.

They have not much to say con-
corning his record, as that is con-
fined almost solely to the judicial
bench, but they say he is most
amlable and learned man. Those
who prefer some other candidate
say he is tied VI. with David 3.
HUI, and would be controlled hv
him and they distrustHIu. Judge
Parker's name may go before the
but it is not likely
that the state of New York will
present him as the candidate of
that state. Everything now in
dicates a trend away from Judge
Parker.
There have lately turned up
here many friends OF the Hon.
William Randolph Hearst. They
seem to be the most enthusiastic
bunch among all the politicians
who have discussed this thing Of
the next democratic candidate
with me. They ell seem to be
saturated with the idea that MIR.
Hearst is the only man who can
win and they are willing to give
a reason for the faith that is in
them. In the first place they say
that Mr.. Hearst is the ouly pro.
prletOr of great daily newspaper
IN the north who Ioyallv support
ed the ticket in 1896 and 1900.
and who fought as hard for the
ticket as any man on the ticket.
They claim that any man nomi-
mated In 1904 who did not Loyalty
support the ticket, or who. even,
was lukewarm, will be defeated
next year for the reason that the
loyal democrats in the states Of
New York, Connecticut and New
Jersey will vote the socialist la
Dor ticket which will give those
states, absolutely essential to
democratic success, to the repub-
hcans. They claim that MrHearst
who has endeared himself to the
laboring people of the country by
fighting their battles at all times,
can carry every center Of indus
trial activity in the country, thus
assuring democratic success in
the states Of Connecticut, New
York and New Jersey, Delaware,
Mary land, Illinois and California,
which means democratic victory
In the nation, and they say that
victory Is what they are after.
They say that a man who has the
business Interests at stake as
those possessed by MIR. Hearst,
"hOoS pay lOll q cuOuulS 10 over
$4,OO0,00O a year, and who has
never had controversy with a
single man ever on that payroll,
can not help being a satisfactory
candidate to the thousands Of
conservative business men of fhe
country who did not support the
ticket in the campaigns of 1896
and 1900.
They advance the claim that
he Is tho very apotheosis Of
antitrust, the only man in the
country who has ever gone after
the trusts with his own money
and made them tremble, and
that the trust question will be
uppermost in the next campaign.
hence, their man is democratic
platform IN himself. That he is
the very embodiment of Jetfer.

Curious Mathematical Fact.

There is certain popular young
hwyer In Atlanta who when in college
was known as the best mathematician
In his class. He Is still much interest
ed In knotty questions of figures, and
he propounded query on the street
yesterday that none OF dozen men
could answer.
'Take any two consecutive num-
bers," he said, SAY four and FIVE;
square them and subtract the lesser
result from the greater, and the num-
Der you have is the same as the sum
OF the numbers you started within
this case four and five, their sum being
nine.
"This will work out every time. no
matter what two consecutive numbers
you take The rule is well known, but
have never been able to find an ex-
PLANTATION of It. Why is this always
true, and can any one explain 1t to
meY
His hearers figured long, but none
was able TO tell why the sum Of the
two consecutive numbers is equal to
the difference Of their squares.-Atlan-

The Honeymoon.

II Is said by some authorities that
the honeymoon, or month after mar
riage, takes its sweet sounding title
from practice of the ancient Teutons,
who drank honey wine (hydromeD for
thirty days after a wedding.
A far more simple and direct deriva-
ton Is found In associations common
to many times and people. The words
month and moon have come to us from
one source, the Anglo-Saxon mona,
which is formed from an old root, ma,
to measure. The moon thus measures
time, and Dryden links ii with its
kindred month when he speaks of lone
revolving moon" Honey is an obvious
equivalent for anything enjoyable and
sweet, and Shakespeare attaches 1t
closely to the tender passion when he
says, "honeying and making love-"
Anthony Trollope has used honey
moon as a yerb-"Some decent sort OF
body TO honeymoon along with me-"
and in an old volume of the London
Taller there is an interesting sentence
which clinches the connection between
moon and onth-"Sometimes the par
ties fly asunder even in the midst OF
courtship and sometimes grow cool in
the very honey month"

Men, money and binding Irvine
would contribute largely to the hap
piness of the Kansas and Nebraska
farmers. This may seem like con-
siderable TO ask, nevertheless the
western farmers have ample security
to back up their demands. The crops
are enormous and it is simply ques-
ton of getting the material with
which to handle them. Kansas and
Nebraska have sent out calls for some
thing like sixty thousand field labor
ers and as over two million pounds of
binding Irvine were washed down into
the Gulf by the recent floods there is
a serious shortage in that necessary
article. Although western banks are
in good financial condition the crops
are so big that they will not be able
to meet the demands for moving them.

Curing an otter sLin

A full grown sea otter is from four to
five feet long and perhaps a foot or
more wide. When hunter secures one
he loosens the hide from the nose and
head, and, without cutting II length
wise at all, he pulls the skin down over
the body, the hide being so elastic that
this Is not a difficult job. 1t is then
stretched over a smooth board six and
half feet long, nine inches wide at
one end and ten Mt the other end Each
end OF this board is tapered to point.
Another board exactly the same size is
then inserted, and the skin is stretched
foot or eighteen inches longer than its
original length.
A third board half the length of the
other is wedged in and the skin lightly
tackled at the ends to hold 1t in place.
IL any flesh adheres to the skin II Is
then cut or. and the hide is cured and
dried in this condition. In few days
Ii is taken OF the boards and turned
fur side out, when II Is ready for mar

PERE MARQUETTE


Tho elster (Pica candata) is a bird
that is respected and feared through
out south Germany. 1t belongs to the
raven tribe and Is about the size of a
dove. with black and white feathers
and long, pointed tail. 1t builds its
nest in orchards, and Its life Is sacred
LIZ il Is seen three times In succession
on the same house top In place remote
from Its home 1t Is believed to be u
sure sign of death In that house. II IL
flies over house where any one is Ill
and gives its peculiar cry the sick per-
son is sure to die, but II 1t does not
scream the patient may recover. 1t is
better for the sick person II the bird
does not come near.
No one could be hired to bother these
birds for fear they might seek revenge,
and II by chance one Of them should
die 1t Is sign Of bad luck to the own
er Of the property where It was found.
The bird Is q valuable insect destroyer
and In this way probably more than
compensates for the fear II occasions
among the farmers.

Child Study.

The study of child psychology is at
tracing ever increasing interest and
enthusiasm. Problems in crime and
insanity are becoming solvable. The
right OF the child to proper treatment,
bodily and mental, is making q strong
or appeal. 1t is coming to be better
known just what treatment fosters a
balanced development and just what
physical conditions preclude the posi-
bility Of such development. Parents
will know that the nervous, fractions
child needs the services of brain ex-
pert. possibly afterward OF skilled
surgeon. 1t Will be understood that
stubbornness can be cured If ration
ally dealt with or made nucleus Of
crime IL murderously mismanaged.
May every educated parent aid in this
beneficent work by studying his own
child fairly and impartially and col
lecting materials from his neighbor-
hood that will give the students a
broader outlook! Fair, honest state
ments from varying environments are
OF value. Read, study along this line
and see what wonderful avenues of
thought open up.-Health.

Governor Pennypacker of Pennsyl-
vania forced through the legislature
an anti-cartoon law and thereby made
himself an object of scorn and ridi-
cule. He has brother who has done
better. The latter is the mayor of
West Chester and he has stopped the
sale of liquor to habitual drunkards
in that town. His course could be
followed with great credit and profit
by the mayor of every small town in
the land. In his capacity as head of
community the various DRINKS and
disorderlies are brought before him.
He knows them all and where they
are "habituals," he sends their names
to every liquor store in the place with
a warning not to sell them liquor
under penalty of the law, and the
penalty is revocation of license. Mr..
Pennypacker does not preteud to be
a reformer. he is simply working to
abate nuisance, save the municipal
ity money and help out the drunkard's
family
