 Yacht Club Can Talk.

New York. May 1S.--The New York mittee, has just made public the corre- spondence that passed between Sir Thomas Lipton and the club relating to challenge for the Americas cun. The clubs reply to the query of Sir Thomas as to whether it would con- sider challenge under the new rules of measurement, calls his attention to the clubs statement two years ago, that 1t has no jurisdiction in regard to measurement. if the challenging cmh choses to dispense with time allow ance and sail the race under the literal terms of the deed of gifts.
 If Sir Thomas wishes, he may chal- lenge through the Royal Ulster or any other yacht club of which he is a mem Der. with yacht of any size or rig without the dimensions stated in the deed, and demand to sail the three races on an ocean course without time allowance, the best two races to win which means without regard to racing measurement The New York club would then have to build a yacht to meet him on the same terms.
 As to whether or not the New York club will agree to race under the clubs new rules, no reply was given, as 1t was held that the question was purely hypothetical one until chal- lenge was made through some club.

This state spends thous- ands of dollars each year teaching young men how to raise farm and food products, and think it only jus tice to the medical and drug profes- siOns that we have a share of this ex- perimental work. The market price of ginseng is S1 per pound for the green root and golden seal is now worth s1 pound for the dried root
 These prices will we'll pay for the trial, and If the state can demonstrate that the cultivation of these two plants is success, then many of the poor hills of this state can be utilized in cultivation.

MOTHER AND CHILD
 LEAP FROM BRIDGE
Child Was Bound to Woman's Body
 With Linen Bands.
tMPTS AT RESCUE FAILED
Woman successfully Flights on Two HrnNe Men Who Attempted to Rescue Hcr-Tbe Bodies
 We're Recovered

Columbus, O., May fS-With a pret- ty little 4-year-old blonde girl bound to her body with bands of linen, . handsome brunette woman, apparently p or 30 years old, was seen to leap over the Rich street bridge into the Scioto river at S:S0 Tuesday morning.
 l.. K. Hardin, an Adams express wagon driver, and Charles Sgman. driver of an ice wagon, were approach; ing from opposite ends of the bridge at the time.
 They were attracted by the demon- Strations of affection between the wom- an and child, as the supposed mother stood against the railing guarding the bridge sidewalk at the outer edge with the little girl ia sitting position on the rail.
 The woman was kissing the child and the little girls face was beamine with smiles as she gleefuIly chuckled and nestled her little face and flaxen curls among the raven locks of the woman
 Jumped Into the Water.
 Then suddenly came change in the expression of the womans face from smiles to fixed determination, and as the shadow spread over her counte- nance she. like a flash, mounted the guard rail and threw herself and the pinioned child into the water some 30 feet below
 The drivers of the ice wagon and tr-lsfer wagon both leaped from their seats, rushed over an abutment, plunged into the river and swan from opposite shores toward the center of the stream to attempt to rescue the woman and chilG
 At the approach of suecor the wom- an became as a tigress at bay, and fought the two men with apparent euperhuman strength.
 So furious was her defense that to save their lives the two drivers had to put back to shore and allow the woman and child to go down to their death.
 The bodies were recovered from the river few minutes after the woman and child sank for the last time.
 Both woman and child were we'll dressed. The woman wore a black silk raglan, and the little girl had on black silk jacket The bodies have not yet been identified
 Bodies Identified nt the Morgue.
 Several hours after the bodies had been at the morgue they were identified as those of Mrs. Malcolm Copeland and daughter, of GAS East Long street The husband has a furniture upholstering establishment on East Long street. Mrs. Copeland had been suffering from extreme nervousness. and in this con- dition magnified family troubles.

Saturday, Oct. a9, roo4.

BrrrINsKI PELLgGRlx wants to know why THg OASIS has not raised the electric clock issue in Nogales heretofore. There are several reasons. One Is that it was desired to give the Nogales clock tinkers a chance to see whether they could make the old things go. But Brother Ed has shown that he is no more reliable as clock tinker than is Buttinski as a newspaper man. And another reason was that heretofore the republican party in Santa Cruz county seemed to prefer the kid glove and cologne water style of campaign. Two years ago THE OASIS desired to make that issue, but submitted to the superior wisdom of those with whom its editor was associated m the campaign. Now the party is united in a belief that the issue should be made; and the platform declarations having been presented by the republican convention, THE OASIS is in duty bound to follow. Very likely those who two years ago opposed use of the campaign material offered by the electric clocks and type writers, were wise at that time To have raised the issue wouldn't have had the effect it has now. Since then the school terms have been shortened, and the public feel the subject more keenly than they would have done two years ago.
