AMERICANS SUPERIOR.
London, Aug. 29-In approving of Sir
Thomas reported determination not TO
challenge again for the Americas cup,
the Globe this afternoon varies the dis
patch which marks all the comment on
the racing, saying:
There comes time when constant and
inevitable defeat weakens even the most
enthusiastic, and Sir Thomas is well ad-
vised 10 relinquish the struggle, while
his pluck is so generally recognized. and
before his failures have become a jest.
While the American yacht builders are so
superior TO the English rivals we are not
likely TO regain the cup"

The prompt discovery of. a blaze in
woodpile in the cellar at the home of
Mayor Charles p. Skinner was all that
prevented a serious fire Thursday
night. The asbestos covering at the
base of the furnace had dampened
during the summer and then broken.
exposing the iron skeleton part. a
pile of kindling was near the furnace
and some of the pieces lay against the
iron. There was a fire in the fur
mace and the supposition is that this
llindling finally became heated and ig-
nited. The cook had been spending
the evening with friends. and she was
accompanied home by a gentleman
friend The residence was reached
about 30 o'clock and on entering
they found it filed with smoke. An
investigation revealed the blaze to be
in the cellar and the cook at once
turned in an alarm. The young man
in the meantime had turned stream
of water on the blaze, the garden
hose having fortunately already been
connected to the faucet, and there
was no necessity for the fire laddies
to make coupling when they arrived.
But the members were repaid for their
hasty run. They were invited in by
Mayor and Mrs. Skinner and coffee
was made in short order.

MAY SETTLE
QUESTION OF AIMS AGE

The prospect of war between Tur-
key. center of the stage for some
time before, and Bulgaria had been
occupying the stage, others came up.
Now all these questions have been
relegated to the background, and
there is one leading question that has
taken the place of many That is,
what is the age of Ann? 1t has taken
precedence of all those other prob
lens that have come up through the
ages. No longer is there any specula-
ton as to the whereabouts of Moses
when the light went out. The pater-
nifty of Zebedee's children has ceased
to excite any interest. The particular
family from which Cain selected his
wife when he went down to the land
of Nod is not even the subject of Il
theological dissertation. All have
been subOrdinated to the overwhelm-
ing, all-important, all-embracing ques-
ton, What Is the Age of Ann? Col
lege professors are figuring on the
problem. mathematical demonstra-
tors are taking a whirl at it; on its
solution clergymen are devoting the
hours that should be devoted to the
preparation of the theological puz-
zles that they present to their hear
ers, and for the time being Ann is the
empress of the age, and her age the
genealogical problem of the universe.
The city papers are filled with alleged
solutions or attempts at solution of
the gigantic conundrum. and the alge-
braic efforts in that direction have
caused a run on the y boxes in the
