NO CUP RACE NEXT YEAR.
Sir Thomas Upton Says It is Too Late
to Make Arrangements.

There Will be no race for the Americas
CUP next year. unless at the last moment
some other aspirant for international hon
ors than Sir Thomas Upton steps into the
breach. A letter from Sir Thomas received
in New York Saturday said that 1t was too
late now to arrange race for next year.
Upton had hoped to get George l.. Watson
to design a challenger for him. Sir Thomas
in his letter says that there is plenty of
time to arrange things for 1905. and he will
weigh matters carefully and look for an
Gtl er designer. Sr H0mls still won-
dering about the new rule, and perhaps
after another season of trial the New York
Yacht Club may be disposed to arrange a
race under the rule, which has now become
a national one.
There has been some talk of Kenneth
Clark challenging, but that gentleman is in
the same position now as Sir Thomas. Wat
son was to have designed a boat for Mr..
Clark under the new rule if a race could
have been arranged.
1t seems to be the opinion that Alfred
Mylne will be the next man to turn out a
cup challenger. He is a pupil of Mr. Wat
son, and has been very successful with the
boats he has built. 1t is not at all unlikely
that Sir Thomas will have a big boat built
from designs by Mylne for racing in home
waters next season, and If that boat is
success Mylne will design the next chal-
lenger.

FAST SCRAP PROBABLE.
Lowe and Henning Meet at Rock
Spring Club Tomorrow Night.

Tommy Lowe. who is to meet Kid Hen
ming In twelve-round bout at the opening
of the Rock Spring Club tomorrow night,
announced this morning that he was al
ready down to weight and will not have to
do any extra hard work to make the 12S
pounds at o'clock in the evening, which
is the weight at which the men will fight.
Lowe was about seven pounds overweight
when the match was made, and there were
many predictions that he would lose the
forfeit he posted not to raise the beam
when called to the scales, but he has re-
duced easier than was expected, and at the
same time has lost none of his strength.
He is devoting am unu6ual amount of time
to road work, andsfias found that it has re-
duced his flesh without~a tendency to make
him stale. Henning was not troubled by
the weight question, as the figure named
was several pounds above his normal fight
ing avoirdupois. He has also been doing
road work, but has devoted most of his
attention to sparring, as his long lay-or
made him somewhat weak IN judging dis
tance.. His eye has gone back to him as
the result OF his many bouts with hts
sparring partners, and he will have no
trouble when he enters the ring.
Good preliminaries are being arranged
for the meeting but the managers of the
club have not yet announced what boys
they have obtained. They will be local
celebrities we'll known to the Washington
followers of the game, and should furnish
an interesting Introduction to the feature
of the evening.

to Ireland last summer when he made the
acquaintance of a Presbyterian clergyman,
related to the McKinleys, who told him the
story of the execution and as much of the
family history of the Mckinleys as he had
at his command. Francis Mckinley was
an ancestor of the late President and lived
in the County Antrim. He was respect
able man and generally liked. but his name
CHANGED to become entangled with certain
charges of a reasonable nature, and his
execution followed in the main street of
Coleraine. The horror of the death of her
husband drove his young wife mad and
the rest of the family emigrated to
America.
The speaker used the illustration to show
that tyranny had driven many a man from
Ireland whose coming to America had been
the loss of ireland and the gain of the new
country. He described his trip through
Ireland, and told of his visit to the an
cestral home of the McKinleys, near Bally-
money, an Irish village of the old style
There he found the original cottage occu-
pied by the McKinleys of which our late
President was a descendant. The hand of
God, he said, ever shown in the man
ner in which men rose in the new country
who We're driven from their native heath by
the tyranny of their oppressors. He also
described his many by-trips to the various
manufacturing and agricultural centers,
and gave his audience unusually inter
esting evening.
November 81 he will give another of these
talks on travel, describing at that time his
visits to Dublin, Tara, Limerick and
through the region of the famous Lakes of

Coal Output in New Mexico.

The annual report of Mr.. Joseph E. Sheri-
dan, the U. s. mines inspector for the terri
tory of New Mexico, made public today
shows that the production of coal in the
territory during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1904 increased 20.1S per cent. There
were 1.63s,o41 tons of coal mined and 80, 800
tons of coke produced. Six new mines were
opened during the last fiscal year. one of
which has already obtained a depth of 100
feet. There were Is lives lost in mining
the coal last year and SO accidents, which
did not have fatal consequences The re-
port includes an exhaustive statement of
the coal industry in New Mexico, a descrip-
ton of each of the mines and q chemical
analysis of the kind Of coal produced.

He laughed, and slipping an arm about

rapidly fading Inscription on the
tomb of the great actor.
His Pathetic Romance
Eloquent as this inscription is, it
fails to tell about the most interesting
features of Forests strenuous life.
In other words, this stirring up of the
bones of Edwin Forrest will recall to
some men still living the pathetic ro-
nance Of his life romance more
picturesque and more sorrowful than
anything that he ever attempted to de-
pict upon the stage.
Catherine Sinclair, sweetheart and
wife of the tragedian, was born in
England. 1t was there that they met
and were married. When they return
ed TO the United States they began
housekeeping in Philadelphia, and
their domestic life was charming He
was genius and she woman of edu-
cation and refinement. Books and LETT

castle, as it was to be named, was the
creature Of their united brains. Sew
eral times a Year husband and wife
journeyed to the place to watch the
progress Of the builders. On one par
ticular Fourth of July the tragedian
planned a celebration, to which he in.
vited three or four hundred of his
neighbors. 1t was a grand success-a
fact that will not be disputed when it
is known that the host himself read
the Declaration of Independence.
Jealousy Entered Home
But this bliss was not to last Within
a few years after their marriage jeal-
ousy entered the Forrest household.
The tragedian heard some one speak
in complimentary terms of the beauty
Of his wife, and from that moment
he became an unreasonable being.
Some time later, while he was. in Gin
cinnati filling a professional engage
mont. he found George Jameson, a
member of his company. paying pretty
little attentions to his wife. To man
of Forests temperament this was un-
bearable, and there was a scene which
made all concerned miserable.
Six months after that, while In his
Philadelphia home one night, Forrest
discovered a letter in the handwriting
of George Jameson addressed to his
wife. 1t was a long, rambling epistle,
filled with rhapsodies that rivaled the
poetic fancies of the most pronounced
stage lover. But Forrest regarded it
as tragedy, and would not accept it in
any other light. There was a separa-
ton of the couple. and even this was
not without theatrical effect As his
wife sat in the carriage that was to
take her frem Forrest, she asked him

basketful of red roses on the snow
covered slab that sheltered the body of
Forrest in st. Paurs church yard. A
soul of a poet said at the time that the
sight was finely emblematic of the life
of Edwin Forrest, wherein the red roses
of dramatic triumph were inseparabfy,
intertwined with the cold frOsts of do
nestle affliction.
1t Is interesting to note how every
thing in connection with the life and
death of Edwin Forrest almost un-
consciously has tendency to revive
the memory of his unfortunate and
unhappy domestic alliance.
1t is significant that the old Forrest
mansion at Broad and Master streets,
Philadelphia, where the tragedian lived
and died in the midst of luxury, is now
occupied as a school of design for wom-
en-, where ambitious and talented
young girls learn the rudiments of a
technical education which is to bring
them fame and fortune.
1t is equally significant that the un-s
finished palace on the Hudson where
this man expected to spend so many
years Of bliss is now the site of a
Catholic convent.
Not less significant than either of
these examples is the Forrest home
itself, which shelters beneath it's hos
pitable roof some of the most Illus
trious women that have ever adorned
the American stage Thus 1t Is that
the violets and roses Of Womankind
have sprung up to sweeten and beautf-
fly all of the spots intimately associated
with the memory Of a man who is sup

world. To citizen of Monroe he ap-
peared to be stranger; to a stranger
he appeared to be citizen OF Monroe.
He was playing necessary part. Out
Wardly he was calm, but there was in
ternecine turbulence within. He was
in hourly fear of anybody and every
body. He knew that somewhere be-
hind him, miles or hundreds of miles,
someone or everyone seemed to be
looking for him. In every uniformed
officer he saw a man who had been
furnished with a detailed description Of
him, and who was his sworn enemy.
In every citizen he saw plain clothes
man who would prove to be treach-
erous foe.
He was i'll at ease, and he was
watching for every possible avenue OF
escape. He assumed that he had days
and days to accomplish complete es-
cape, for he had well covered his
tracks, but he couldn't be sure, and he
kept watch for anything and every
thing that might turn up.
Constitutional Smith was one of a
goodsize crowd of people that passed
up and down in front of the Green
Store at the aforesaid corner-he was
an unnottced man among many un-
noticed men.
But among the crowd was a man
who was not unnoticed. He came
along, bowling right and LEFT to his ae-

for souvenir of their happy days. He
picked out the choicest book in his
library, and placing hts autograph on
the fy-leaf presented it to her. Not
satisfied with that, he lifted an oil
painting of himself from the wall. and
had it placed in the carriage with his
departing wife.
Mrs. Forrest indicated
Separation was followed by divorce.
The trial ended in a victory for Mrs.
Forrest. A decree was given to her,
and the actor was ordered to pay her
alimony amounting to three thousand
dollars year.
The bitterness caused by this sad af
fair remained with Forrest until he
died. To the fanciful the story of the
courtship and marriage of Catherine
Sinclair and Edwin Forrest reads like
pages taken from the tragedy OF
Othello, the only difference being that
the great tragedian shrank from play
ing in real life and to its end the part
of the sWarthy Moor.
BY what seems to be strange coin
cident, two of the three actors in this
sad drama met a sudden and unex-
pected death within a few years of
each other. Jamiescn was struck and
killed by railroad train near Yonkers,
N. Y. Forrest died while alone in the
sumptuousiy furnished study of his
Philadelphia home. He had no one to
comfort his last hours but expired
amid the books, paintings and works
of art that had meant SO much to aid
him in his struggles at that last ter
rible moment.
While Forrest was buried In the
vault In the churchyard of St Paufs,
it has always been understood that his

ton that they bore to one another.
The splendid library of Edwin Forrest
still contains books which are mute
reminders Of those happy days. He
was constantly purchasing rare and
notable books for his wife, and these
presentation volumes invariably bore
on the fiyleaf the inscription:
ITO Catherine Forrest,
From Her Husband and Sweetheart.
Edwin Forrest
Mute Love Letters
The letters that passed between
them were filed with terms of en-
dearment. Once, while away on q
professional tour, Forrest wrote: II
seem quite lonely without you, and
even In this short absence have often
wished You here; but the three weeks
will pass away, and then we shall see
each. other again!'
With growing fame came increased
fortune, and Forrest, looking forward
to years of future happiness conceived
the idea of building magnificent pail
ace on the banks of the Hudson, about
twenty miles from New York. Fonthill

Now, at this present juncture, Mr..
Constitutional Smith was in a very try
ing situation. This situation was due
to the fact that he had tried very
tempting, dangerous and daring strong
arm act, in the strong Hmelight glare
Of publicity, and upon the conspicuous
arena of events-and he had been dis
covered, and what was much worse, he
had been recognized. Recognition was
nothing less than rufnous. Ruinous as
1t was, however, there was one mitf-
eating circumstance-for Constitu-
tionaI Smith had escaped Escaped, as
usual. But they were on his track and
he knew il. And between the arena OF
events and his own personality, Mr..
Smith Immediately put the distance of
a few hundred miles.
BY means Of devious routes, shifts
and methods known only to himself,
Constitutional Smith stood one day In
the very center of the thriving town OF
Monroe. one Of the coast cities of the
extreme West: city which has well
recognized place in commercial circles.
He lounged carelessly and easily one
day about the corner of Main and Mar
ket streets in that well known metrop-
oils, apparently at peace with all the

neck-not across his waistcoat, but
about his neck-he wore watch chain
made of solid gold. This watch chain
weighed exactly one pound and one
ounce. 1t was this that some of the
crowd smiled at; it was this that had
caused some of them to stare.
His other popularity was In it's way
quite as remarkable Only one man
noticed it and only one man knew 1T.
That one man was Constitutional
Smith. For Constitutional Smith
knew beyond any reasonable doubt
that but for that short and stubby
beard, and but for the watch chain and
the wearing apparel; but for these
things, he and the other man were as
like as two peas. Now, no two peas
are exactly alike; and no two men are
alike. And these two men were not
exactly alike Given all the distin-
gushing details-clothing Smith in
similar clothes, decorating him with a
three-weeks growth of beard-and
then placing these two men side by
side, any fool would have seen the diff
ference. But to meet these men apart
was quite another thing, as may pos
sibly develop later.
At any rate the likeness was suffi-
cient in all respects to please the mind
of Constitutional Smith. and he was a
man who was not generally easily sat
isfied.

liloquized Mr.. Constitutional Smith.
Ellington O'Keefe, now one of the
prominent citizens of Monroe, chiefly
by reason Of his reputed wealth, had
had varied career He had ever
lived in the city of Monroe; he was
born and brought up there. He was
rough good-natured sort of man, who
up to a certain period in his career
had been q rolling stone. Up to that
time if he ever had a dollar the peo-
pie of Monroe never knew it. Billing
ton O'Keefe had been jack of all
trades and master of none. But he
hit it when he hit the Klondike TRAIL
He was one of the few who did. There
were many men who sought the Klon-
dixie from Monroe; many Of them
dropped every dollar they had. If
Ellington O'Keefe had gone with an
expensive outfit he would have come
back without dollar; if he had had
anything to lose he would have lost it
AS il was he went without a dollar;
tramped half the way, with nothing
but his clothes upon his back; without
the suspicion of an outft-and he had
come back rich as Croesus.

Considered inmates His Guests
The tragedian never intended that it
should be regarded as charitable in
stitution: but SO planned the details
of its management that old and infirm
actors and actresses who were COM
PEELED to seek shelter there in their
declining years should be considered
as the guests of Edwin Forrest. Few
professional people have more pride
than those of the stage, and they ac-
cepted the gift of the dead tragedian
strictly in the spirit that he intended.
Twice a year there is notableseele-
pration to which a small number of
favored outsiders are invited. One of
these celebra tons is held on the birth
anniversary of Shakespeare, and the
other to commemorate the birth of

fortune, gaiiy repeat the scenes of their
