The Columbia mine and separa-

capacity Of the jigs, some 30 tons

very much of an effort to keep the

SHAMROCK UNINJURED.

system, published in a morning paper o
the erect that Shamrock III was serl-
ously damaged during yesterdays storm
and there was a possibility of Sir Thorn
as asking for a postponement caused
considerable excitement in yachting cir

that the statement was without foun-
dalton. Shamrock rode out yesterday s
squall without the slightest damage al
though the big anchor was dropped as
an additional precaution.
There was no particular evidence at
Sandy Hook today of last nights blow,
except the broken bow spirit of the Gil
raldeu. c. o. Iselin, aboard the Sun
beam, the defenders tender. said that
as far as he knew there was no material
damage to any one. Mr.. Iselin. Captain
Barr and Designer Herreshoff of Reli-
ance, had a long conference today. but
Mr.. Iselin refused to say anything for
publication as to its character.
Herbert c. Leeds today said that C.
D. Mower, measurer of the New York
Yacht club, was expected later in the
day, but it was not anticipated that
any change in the sailing length of the
Reliance would be found. The time al
lOwance under which Reliance, Consti-
tuition and Columbia have sailed in the
preliminary races this year was made
known today. Those times have been
kept secret. Reliance allowed Constitu-
ton one minute and 46 seconds and Col
umbia two minutes and Al seconds in all
races.
BY these times it 1t figured that Con-

Refreshing Melons.

"Halve and quarter, mince its pulp as
please thee,
And distribute each juicy morsel."
We might we'll be termed a nation of
borrowers, especially as regards food
products, SO many of our choicest fruits
and vegetables have been brought to US
from other lands near and far. Being
fortunate In having most variable
and productive soil, and that spirit
which moves US to the achievement of
the highest perfection in all things, we
have not only developed our natural re-
sources but added to them many ex-
tremely fine varieties of fruit and vege-
tables, which have been cultivated with
extreme care and nicely by means of
grating, and other methods practiced
by horticulturists, from very inferior
specimens to fruits of glorious color
succulent texture and of sweet and won
derfully delicious fiavors. Melon is the
generic or collective name given to all
members of the gourd tribe-the best
known among them being the canta-
ioupes, muskmelonS and watermelons.
These melons are nothing more or less
than immense, hard-rind berries, vary
ing greatly in size, color, character of
rind and flavor. But when fresh and
perfectly ripe they are among the most
delicious of our summer fruits. their
juices furnishing a most agreeable and
cooling drink. which will ouench thirst
far more effectually than iced water or
the many iced beverages so freely in
dulged in during the hot weather. The
watermelon is said to be a native of
tropical Africa where it is now found
wild in great fields. Thus one can easily
account for the strong affinity between
the colored race and delicious nectar of
the cool green-coated, blood-red melon.
The cantaloupe has been cultivated for
centuries in Persia and travellers claim
that the best melons in the world are
grown in that country.
Through the Romans the melons were
into Europe.
Melons are eaten raw; sometimes with
sugar, wine, spices, salt and pepper: but
nothing can improve the deliciousness
of the huge rosy melon in cold, juicy
slices when offered the thirsty mortal
on a hot summer day. And all the
Orient spices seem instilled into the del
icate varieties of the cantaloupe One
can enjoy the melons in a great many
ways if they desire while they are in
season. No part except the tough, hard
skin need be wasted, for the rind makes
delicious preserves-and many use can
died watermelon rind for cakes, mince
pies and buildings, instead of candied
citron. The rinds also make very delic-
ious spiced pickles The seeds may be
utilized by the deft fingered, artistic

NOT TO c. w. KOHL.
Probate Judge Refuses Permit to
Man Who Bought Halt interest

Aan VINO Bought Hall Interest
Probate Judge Hayden this morning
refused to grant a permit to sell liquor
to A H. OFT.
OFT filed an application for a permit
to be issued to the drug store formerly
operated by Charles w. Kohl. Kohl
was summoned before Judge Hayden
some months ago and as evidence was
produced to show that he sold liquor
unlawfully his permit was revoked.
Four times since Kohl has tried unsuc-
cessfully to secure permit. This time
OFT was supposed to own the store but
when he was placed on the stand he
stuck rs close to the truth as George
Washington and stated that he owned
only a half interest in the store. Judge
Hayden refused to grant the permit
as he had refused one to Kohl and as
Kohl owns the other half of the store
he would secure half the permit. Hay
den does not do things by halves in his
court.
City Councilman Luther Nellis, from
the Fourth ward, was on hand to view
operations. He secured a list of the
druggists who have applications pend
ing for permits and he intends to in
vestigate them. Those who want per-
mits are L. S. Woolverton, who asks
for a renewal; w. E. Henry, proprietor
of the drug store at 1872 Kansas avenue;
J. w. Kramer, who has succeeded to
the proprietorship of the Blackman
store at 404 Kansas avenue, and G. r.
Headley who now claims to be owner
of Clarence Young's drug store.

MAY INCREASE VALUATION.
County Authorities Not Pleased With
Moeser Assessment

The amount given as the sale price of
the Moeser Ice and Cold Storage plant to
the Continental Creamery company is
100000 as shown by the deed. The Moeser
plant was given an assessed valuation of
$4,000 by the assessors, Oscar Bischoff, NJ.
Heery and c. o. Knowles last spring.
The assessments are supposed to repre-
sent about 40 per cent of the value of the
property. On this basis the assessors
seemed to think that the plant was worth
about $4,000 or $155, 600 less than the sale
price of the plant.
County Clerk Newman and County At
torney Hungate are looking up the law to
see if the plant can be assessed at more
than 1t was 1t may not be possiblee to
raise the valuation, as the county COM
missonerS, sitting as a board of eQuaIi-
cation, approved the valuation of $4,000.
