IT WAS stated in the Gazette's Wash
ington's correspondence yesterday that
the State Department is looking at the
Syrian matter with annoyance, feeling that
in 4 certain measureithas been the author
of an international farce in sending
warships to Beirut, "but that it hopes
that Minister Leishman may produce
evidence of a state of revolution which
NAV Justify the presence of an American
fleet in the waters of Asia Minor" if
through Mr.. ROoseyelfs previousness
and strenuosity mistake has been made
and ridicule brought upon this country
by the sending of ships to Beirut, the
quicker they are ordered away and the
incident be closed the better it will be
for all concerned. This country has
nothing to do with revolutions in Syria,
and such matters should not be taken
advantage of and made excuses fol
diplomatic mistakes. General Wash
ington's advice to keep out of foreign
entanglements should be needed when
ever it is possible to do so.

Nour XorL Stock Market

New York, Sept. 4--The stock mark
ct this morning has been Of a holiday
character Business is light, and entire
ly professional in its nature. As rule
fluctuations were limited to extremely
small fractions. The strength of the grain
market was without particular influence.
There was a little disposition to support
Atchison which ruled slightly higher.
Reading rallied a triae, and showed a
little more steadiness. Inactivity charac-
terized the industrials but the nuctua-
tons were without significance. Anal
gamated Copper was steady. Few issues
scored quotations in the first hour. In
the traction group, the only notable fea-
ture was an advance in Metropolitan Sc
curities of l per cent. The speculation
promises to remain in the doldrums under
the influence of the approaching triple
stock exchange holiday. Government
bonds unchanged.

not solemn oaths bound Bernard Berna-
bucci to destroy himself, he took his life
most calmly and deliberately in Derby,
Conn.,. Yesterday. Bernabucci was ~

ed man went to the line of the Nauga-
tuck Railroad yesterday morning. He
tried to throw himself under a passing
locomotive, but it whizzed by him. Aris-
ing, he explained to those around that
he had STUMBLED and fallen. He coolly
waited until a fast passenger train APP
preached, then dived at the flying engine,
fell under its wheels and was killed.

SULKY CHILDREN have at times de-
vised many ways of showing their re-
sentiment to parental restraint, but that
adopted by Miss Carrie Meyer in New
Haven, Conn, a few days ago is origi-
nal. She had been chided by her
mother and the young woman while in a
pique went up in balloon with a Mon
golfer who was giving performances in
the vicinity. After sailing in and above
the clouds for some time she was landed
safely on terra frma. The only regret
the young woman expressed after re-
turning from her aerial flight was that
her mother was absent when the balloon
shot heavenward.

RELIANCE WINS.

As anticipated, the Reliance, the
American cup defender, yesterday won
the third and final race and the series
for that sea trophy, the Americas cup.
In dense log which prevented vision
beyond 200 yards she finished the race
at $4,000, amid the acclamations of the
assembled feet. When the two flyers
we're last seen the Reliance was more
than a mile and half in the lead.
Shamrock III, after raining for
more than an hour in the fog
missed the finish line, passed by it
and then returned to it from the opposite
direction. As the Reliance was then be-
ing towed through the feet, yacht en-.
signs futtering from her truck and
spreaders in celebration of her victory,
the Shamrock III did not cross the finish
line.
After racing for more than an hour at
terrific speed through binding fog, the
Reliance burst through the wall OF mist
upon the vision of the spectators on the
feet assembled at the finish line, and,
heeling under great bellying balloon
iibtopsail until her lee rail was awash,
fled across the finish line almost before
the spectators could determine for a GER
tainty that it was she.
The official time in the race was as
follows
Start Finish
Reliance. 5:30O2
Shamrock III........1:02:0O Did not finish
Sir Thomas says he is glad the race is
over, as he has known for days that he
was beaten. He thanks the American
people for their generosity to the van
quished, and says it is a pleasure even
to lose races.
The opinion is expressed by English
yachtsmen that no further attempt will
be made for some time to send a challen-
ger after the Americas cup.
After his defeat Sir Thomas Upton
said: 81 have done everything in hu.
man possibility that could be procured
ia Great Britain to bring winning boat
to the line and have been licked by 9
faster yacht If anyone else should
challenge / would give every assistance
in my power. "

The genuine is always better than coun.

never more forcibly realized or more thor
oughly appreciated than when you compare
the genuine DeWits's Witch Hazel Salve

stitutes that are on the market. w. S. Led

Patterson, who has just returned to
Chicago from Peoria, is under the i'm
preston that germs of an appetite for
liquor are impaired to Chicago babies
through the medium of milk from COWS
that eat the refuse from Peoria distil-
leries. But how about those who early in
life acquire the appetite for liquor when
raised on milk given by COWS that never
tasted refuse from distilleries?

WILL PUSH SHEPARD DIVORCE
Elliott F. Shepard, grandson of w. H.
Vanderbilt, and his wife, it is now re-
ported, have agreed to disagree and the
proceedings for divorce brought by her
will be pushed to a conclusion. Mrs.
Shepard was Esther Virgins Potter.
daughter of Greenpoint, L. l., grocer,
when young Shepard married her.
Neither the Vanderbilts nor the Shepards
would recognize the young woman, but
Mrs. Elliott F. Shepard, his mother,
was induced by her son to give him an
allowance of 81, 500 a month. The
failure on the part of the Vanderbilt
family to recognize young Shepards
wife led ultimately to a suit for an alb
solute divorce. 1t was reported that the
Duchess of Marlborough on a visit in
New York had effected a reconciliation
between the two. The reconciliation,
it is now said, was not lasting.

REPORTS received from all over the
State are to the effect that the manner
of conducting the democratic primaries is
giving great dissatisfaction and that the
full strength of the party is not being
brought out. Democrats seenO reason why
they should be compelled to vote viva voce
in their own party election, when select
ing candidates from among friends, and
then be compelled to vote by ballot at
the regular elections between opposing
parties. Then too they have been vot-
ing by ballot for nearly a third of a
century and few people like to make
