Sandy Hook line in New York Wed.
nesday, the fast little steam yacht
Vamoose, with Mr. Walter Lewisohn
and his brothers on board. defeated
the new Sandy Hook boat. the Asbury

speed was accidental, and the Levi
sohns refused to term it race.
Mr.. Lewisohn and his brothers
boarded the Vamoose at the New
York Yacht Club station at thir ty- two
minutes after eight o'clock yesterday
morning. The Asbury Park, crowded
with business men, had left her wharf
three minutes earlier. The Vamoose
started after her with full head of
steam and Immediately began to close
up the gap of water between them.
1t was thirty-one minutes after nine
when the Vamoose reached her pier,
having made the run in one minute
less than an hour. After landing her
passengers she turned back down the
harbor and met the Asbury Park com

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency Of rledical science Is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better
ia prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend with,
can be prevented by the use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia
always results from cold or from an
attack of influenza fgrippe), and 1t has
been observed that this remedy coun-
terasts any tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases in
which this remedy ras been used dur
ing the great prevalence of colds and
grippe in recent years, and can be re-
lied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from slight
cold when no danger is apprehended
until 1t is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest. then it is.
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. BE on the safe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon
as the cold is contracted. 1t always
cures. For sale by all druggists.

A BRAzeN coRRupTloNlsT.

The more the public learns of the
wholesale bribery and ballot box de-
bauchery of j. Edward Addicks, in his
futile attempt to buy his way to sena-
torial seat in the little state of Della
ware, the more they will denounce him
as the most brazen corruptionist of our
recent history. In signed article by
George KEENAN, in the outlook that
writer, after going over the ground in
Delaware, gives an expose of Addicks'
effort in holding up the state, where
according to the statement of one of his
chief lieutenants he has spent 100000
in Delaware campaign years alone.
Maddened by the statement that he
could not be elected. Addicks is quoted
as saying, I'm going to reiterate what
said years ago; I'm either going to be
senator or I'll sink the republican par
ty in Delaware ten thousand fathoms
Deep" And it would seem that he had
nearly succeeded in lcing this.
In order that the Times Republican
may not be accused of coloring this too
highly, it quotes elsewhere THE Story
of Addicks" from the New York Tri-
bune, sterling republican journal, the
tenor of whose criticism is equally Sc
we're.
There should be some way of reach
ing and Furnishing such efforts to cor
rupt the ballot. for to ignore such
fragrant bribery means in time the
downfall Of republican government.

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

Have they got them out of the cave
lyet? Have they eloped in the first
chapter? How many did they kill on
the first page? Has the cruel parent
forgiven the lovers?' These questions
brought no answers. The old gentle
man sat there in smoking jacket and
slippers reading the Youths Compan-
ion. Nearby in comfortable rocking
chair was the old lady reading one
of Bertha NJ. Clay's stories. Both of
these "old covies," man and wife for
sixty long summers (and no winters)
wore glasses that made the type before
them as clear and distinct, as came
before their youthful eyes forty years
before. They had accumulated suffi-
cient of this worlds goods to keep
them in their old age. The children
had flown the nest" these old folks
had even ito go visiting to see their
grandchildren, for in some way all of
their children had moved away from
their native town. But the old man
declared he was a part and parcel OF
the old home. The old lady would have
been content to have lived with the
children, but Just as John thinks best. y
A stout, faithful hired girl made the
old lady's keeping house light task.
and the old gentlemans fixing the
furnace in winter. and running the
lawn mower in summer combined
with daily trip down town, gave him
as well as the wife plenty of time
to read. OF course he read daily pa

THE STORY OF ADDIcks.
NEW York Tribune

George KEENAN, has been down in
Delaware studying the methods of the
political highwayman who for the last
nine years has been holding up that
state and trying to bend 1T to his will.
The first instalment of his report Is
published by The Outlook. The facts
as stated by Mr.. KEENAN, bring sense
of shame that any American communi-
ty should be so lost to all sense of the
dignity of citizenship as to sell itself
openly as he says town after town in
Delaware has done. They also bring a
sense of wonder when we realize the
weakness of human nature, that thru
all these years 1t has been possible to
make so good fight against the con-
slant and overwhelming, flood of cor
ruption with which Addicks as is gen.
orally believed, has sought to wear
down opposition. The regular republic
cans have made brave fight against
heavy odds.
Mr. KEENAN, declares that vote buying
is common and open. The average citi-
zen knows it, avows it and rather looks
