London Papers Comment on the Cup
Yacht Races.
LONDONDERRY mornings papers
publish editorials congratulating the
United States on again retaining the
Americas cup, aud complimenting Sir
Thomas on his gallant fight. All the
journals agree that the contests were
won by the better boat and the clev-
erer skipper and crew and admit that
there seems to be no reason why the
United States should not retain the
cup for many years to come, since
it seems that Great Britain has some
thing to learn from America in the
matter of yacht building.
The Daily Telegraph expresses the
general feeling, when, paying trib-
ute to the fairness with which the
contests were conducted, it says: "An
entirely honorable chapter added tc
the history of the Americas cup"

The Popular Fad Of "Munehlnq."

One of the popular fads in Newport
at present Is "munching." which
means merely eating very slowly.
Munching Is one Of the numerous pre-
ventives of growing avoirdupois, and
as II has the recognition Of King Ed
ward it is naturally regarded with
much favor in Newport The theory
Is that every particle Of food must be
chewed slowly and carefully until no
solid material remains to be swal-
lowed. Slow eating is merely carried
TO an extreme by the new treatment.
All London society threatened with
too much flesh Is said to be chewing
very long and very thoroughly and
American converts to the system are
already numerous. It's effect is said
to be noticeable at dinners, which have
come to be known as munching parties
and are much less vivacious than they
were when eating and drinking went
Gn rapidly. Persons who eat slowly
also eat much less than those who eat
rapidly.

THE GREAT NORTHERN HoLDuP
Bandits Fire on the Engineer at Great
Falls, Mont.

BUTTE, Mont.-A special to the In
ter-Mountain from Great Falls says:
What is believed to have been an
attempt to hold up Express No. 151
on the Great Northern railroad al
most within the city limits of Great
Falls was foiled by the engineer, who
ran his train by the spot where it
was to have been halted so fast that
the robbers could not get at him.
Just east of the city the engineer
saw figures on the side of the track
in the darkness. Some one shouted
something, but the engineer paid no
attention There was a shot and the
ball passed within a foot of his head
and smashed glas sin the cab. De-
tectives were hurried to the scene, but
no one was found there.

Wine Testing BY Telephone.

Wine testing by telephone is the lat.
est contrivance Of Paris inventor.
Unscrupulous venders will not blame
M. Maneuvrier, assistant director OF
the laboratory of researches of the
Paris faculty Of sciences. He has just
discovered an infallible method of as.
certaining by the use of the telephone
how much given quantity OF wine has
been watered. The principle on which
the invention rests Is the variable con.
ductivity OIL different liquids, notably
of wine and water. The apparatus
works as follows: Two vessels, one
containing wine known to be pure, the
other the same quantity of the wine
to be tested, are placed on an instru.
ment outwardly resembling a pair Of
scales. The telephone is In contact
with both liquids. II the sample of
wine under observation is as pure as
the standard used for comparison nc
sound is heard; If, on the contrary, 1t
contains water, the telltale telephone
speaks. and the greater the proper
tion Of water the louder the instru.
ment complains. A dial on which a
number Of figures are marked is con
nectsd with the telephone. To ascer.
tain the proportion of water in the
wine tested. the operator moves
hand on the dial until the telephone.
which has been speaking" all this
time. lapses into silence. The hand
has thus been brought to a certain
figure ON the dial. This number is
then looked up in a chart which the
ingenious and painstaking inventor
has drawn up. and corresponding to II
is found indicated the exact propor
ton Of water contained in the quan.
tity Of wine.

SHAW TALKS PLAIN TO FARMERS
Says Agriculture Has Not Kept Pace
with Other Industries.


COLUMBUS, O.-Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw arrived here Friday.
He delivered an address at the fair
grounds. He did not mention the cur
rency question in his speech, confin-
ing himself to general agricultural
topics. He declared that, in its econ
omies agriculture had not kept pace
with other industries, saying:
"You grow a fat pig or steer, but
the chances are that you cannot tell
whether he costs you cents or 5
cents a pound to produce. When
these are marketed every bit of waste
ceases, every by-product is saved and
it is known to the fraction of cent
what each has cost.
"At the risk of offending some. l
am going to say that if I questioned
the first ten farmers 1 met in adjoin-
ing states, nine would tell me how pro-
ductive their farms used to be, how
much butter they used to make and
how much hay they used to produce.
There is no excuse for land deterior-
ating and as certain as day, economy
must be practiced on the farm as it is
in the factory, packing house and re-
finery. The by-products must be turn
ed to profitable account"

tent of $400OO,00O available for depos-
it's if conditions should hereafter nen-

NEW YORK-Reliance, the Ameri
can cup defender, on Thursday won
the third and final race and the series
for that famous sea trophy, Americas e
cup. In dense fog, which prevented
vision beyond 200 yards, the defender
finished the race at $4,000 amid the
acclamations of the assembled float.
Shamrock III, after running for
more than an hour in the fog, missed
the finish line. passed by it and then
returned to it from the opposite di
rection. AS Reliance was then being
towed through the feet the yachts en-.
sign fluttered from its truck and
Shamrock III did not cross the finish
line. AS often said of the historic race
when America won the cup, There
was no second"
This successful race was achieved
only after four futile attempts to sail
off the final race and after the out
come had been admitted by even Sir
Thomas Upton to be foregone con-
clusion. Today's was the eighth at
tempt to sail a race. After one f1uke
Reliance won the following races, one
by minutes and 3 seconds and the
other by 1 minute and 10 seconds.
A week ago the first attempt to sail
the third race failed and others have
failed every day this week. On the
first occasion Reliance led Shamrock
to the finish line by two miles, but
failed to reach it before the expiration
of the time limit of five and half
hours. Today5s victory means that
the cup is destined to remain in Amer
lea until England is able to produce
genius equal to Herreshoff in yacht
designing.
Rarely, if ever, has there been a
more spectacular nnlSn Lnan tie
liance's. After racing over an hour
at terrific speed through a binding
fog, Reliance burst through the wall
of mist upon the vision of the spec.
tators on the fleet assembled at the
finish line, and, heeling under great
bellying balloon jib topsail until its
lee rail was awash, flew across the
finish line almost before the spectators
could determine for a certainty that
it was the defender. Once more the
Yankee boat had added to the long
string of victories in contests for the
honored old silver trophy that carried
with it the blue ribbon of the sea.

European Powers Take Active Meas.
ures TO Protect Subjects.
WASHINGTON Minister Leish-
man has cabled the state department
that owing to the disturbed condi-
tions in Constantinople an additional
kayass, or detective force, has been
stationed at the American legation.
This action was taken on the sug-
gestion of the Turkish government,
which has assured the American min
lister that 1t will use every precau-
ton to protect all foreigners, but has
warned the different embassies and
legations that 1t would be well to
strengthen the force inside the build
ings.
In case a necessity develops it is
probable that the Turkish govern
ment will allow the United States
to send a detachment of marines
from the squadron which is expected
to arrive at Beyroon at once. The
United States has no authority to
send a warship through the Dardan-
elles and would have to have the con-
sent of Turkey and also that of other
European powers to do so.
Minister Leishman, in his cable
Crane, informed the department that
a number of governments have land
ed marines in Constantinople for the
protection of the embassies.
