Reliance seemed to pick up and to be
to windward of Shamrock she was un-
able to get by. At 1911 O'Clock the
American boat swung around on the port
Shamrock kept on two minutes longer
before lacking to port.
There was no break in this long tack
until 1910, when Reliance went about.
Shamrock, however, continued four min
utes longer From shore it looked as
If Reliance forced Shamrock about.
Reliance Takes the Lead.
1t had looked as if the challenger
might squeeze by and get the windward
berth. Reliance, however, had too much
speed, for Shamrock was compelled to
tack in order not to be blanleted by
her opponent. At 12:5 So it looked as if the
American defender had succeeded in
getting the upper hand of the challenger.
She was on the sUarboard tack, some
distance to the weather of Shamrock,
and slowly but surely oUtrooting the
latter,
1t had taken Reliance quite time to
overhaul and draw clear OF Shamrock,
but once in the lead the American set
pace which the challenger was unable
to equal, and slowly but continuously
she heightened the distance between her
self and Sir Thomas boat. Reliance went
on starboard tack at 1888, but again
tackled to port at 1:43.
The Reliance turned the mark at
1854 and Immediately set her spin
maker to port and, like a huge bird,
headed straight for the finish, Is miles
away, and as the wind caught her huge
expanse of sail her quickened pace soon
placed her another eighth of mile in
the lead.
The Shamrock turned the mark at

Naples, Aug. 24.-The prediction Of
Prof. Krull, Of Munich, has been
fulfilled, as Vesuvius on Saturday night
had a fresh period of activity. Ere

stones we're thrown to height of 600
feet above the crater, while at the
same time slight earthquake was
felt. The stream of lava has again be-

shoes now worn by many women have
caused a great increase in deformities of
the feet and are productive of even more
serious injuries, By throwing the body
forward and placing it in an unnatural
position for walking all ease of move

on the spine that is apt to result in per-

however, that fashion has prescribed
practices injurious to health.

The proposal to establish a public
park in or near the city of Honolulu
rs a memorial to the late President
Mckinley will probably be abandoned.
Instead of this tribute to the chief
executive during whose administration
the people of Hawaii became citizens
of the United States, it is now planned
to erect a Mckinley memorial light
house at the entranceof Honolulu har-
Dor. This would be prominent sit
uation from both land and sea, besides
being of great practical utility. The
project meets with much favor, and is
likely to be carried into effect.

1t is intimated that the days of the
American mule are numbered because
someone has found that hybrid beast
of African origin, and bearing the fan
tastic name of ''zulebra,'' is to take his
place. But those who are making such
predictions may not be aware of the
qualities of the American mule. These
have been proved in many a war cam
paign, including the recent fighting
against the Beers in South Africa, SUI
perior to those of any other animal. 1t
can safely be matched against any at
tempt of the "zulebra" TO put him out
of business.

Means Changes in the Cabinet.

sents the foreign Office. Viscount Gran
commons and his consequent elevation
to the house of lords will cause by
election in the Rochester division.
The funeral has been Professionally
fixed for the end of this week to en-
able Lord Edward Cecil, who is on his
way home from Egypt, to assist.

Tribute from the King.
London, Aug. 24.-King Edwards
tribute to the deceased Marquis of Sal
isbury is given in the Court Circular,
dated Marienbad, Sunday. 1t runs as
follows: 1.-THE king has received with
profound regret the news OF the death
of the Marquis of Salisbury, and his
majesty deeply deplores the loss OF 80
great statesman, whose invaluable
services to Queen Victoria, to the king
and his country In the highest offices
of state which he held for SO many
years will ever dwell in the memory
of his fellow countrymen."
Messages of coincidence are pouring
in at Hatfield house. The senders In
clude King Edward and Queen Alexan-
dra, the queen of Portugal and Presi-
dent Louhet. Touching references were
made to the dead statesman in the pull
pits of almost all the churches in the
United Kingdom.

ancient trophy, which carries with it
the yachting supremacy of the world,
and by strange coincidence, the first
victory in the cup series of 1903 occurred
on the fifty-second anniversary of the
day on which the old schooner America
captured it in her famous race around
the Isle of Wight. The Reliance beat
the British boat three minutes and "a

five minutes and SO seconds in the run

Maneuver for Position.
At 1870 the preparatory gun was fired
and Immediately the two yachts began
maneuvering for positions. AS they
sailed back and forth in this preliminary
struggle both boats showed a good deal
of weather as they laid down, dipping
the loe rail. Reliance made a long
board to eastward, followed by Sham
rock quite distance astern. After

Lowry Is one of the Oldest and
most Influential residents of Tyler
county, and has been identified In
politics and general educational
work for many years. When asked
by a Register reporter as to the

There is also new hotel being
erected at the town site, which,

opinion that the bossism rule OF

death blow In the last campaign
that 1t will not recover from very

the ringlesders In politics In the

going on a ticket, feeling that the
general sentiment Is very much
against them. The recent city
clerk scandal In Sistersville seems
to have had more to do with dis

other things, as the very watch

faulting clerk, and the people have
