Marguerite, twenty-five feet long
The same season L. S. Gushing bought
the NOrseman, thirty footer with en-
gines of six horsepower. Other boats
of this first season were J. D. O'Brien's
Madeline and the Mowitza, twenty
feet, owned by "AI" Clark, Sim" Fow-
Ter and Lem" Collins.
Next year the fleet increased by more
than dozen boats.
In the spring of 1902 was formed the
st. Paul Yacht club. The chief object
of this organization was to secure
suitable docks at moderate cost Up
to that time most of the launches had
been cared for on Raspberry island at
an expense of $40 a month each. But
the new club made arrangements by
which the city provided floating docks
in the shape of long barges. Alongside
of these the launches could moor under
the guardianship of a custodian en-
ployed by the club.
j. D. O'Brien was elected first COM
modore Of the club; John Schwartz
was made treasurer, and 'fDolph"
Schiffman secretary. Commodore
O'Brien led the first annual parade,
June %, 1902, in which more than
forty launches chu-chu-ed pictur-
esquely.
Last year more dock barges were
secured, making eight in all. They
were arranged in the shape of a right
angled triangle on the east bank of the
river beneath the Robert street bridge,
so that, in connection with the Great
Western railway bridge and the shear

demanded the previous question on the
bill.
He withheld the motion to allow Mr..
LlVernaSh (Cal.) to offer an amend
ment to extend the inquiry of the pro-
posed commission to the comfort and
welfare of American seamen and to
Mr.. Lucking, who offered an amend
ment which provided that no plan or
policy be passed by the committee in
Yolving the payment of subsidies or
bounties from the United States treas
ury. A "tieup" resulted upon a re-
quest for leave to print" which was
objected to, and Mr.. Williams warned
Mr.. GrosVenOr that he would make no
speed by pressing his motion and cut
ting off debate. Consequently when
the motion was put roll call was de-
manded The motion prevailed, 155 to
126.
The committee amendments to the
bill were agreed to without opposition;
also that offered by Mr.. Livernash. On
that offered by Mr.. Lucking a roll call
was ordered. The amendment was lost,
124 to 1876.
Another roll call was obtained by the
Democrats on the passage of the bill.
The bill was passed, LA to lis. Rep

Firemen Killed.

NEWARK. N. J., April 23.-Two
firemen were killed and fifteen others
injured today at fire in a six-story
brick building in Mechanic street. oc-
cupied by Weiner & Co, saddlery,

tre was at its height a score of f1remen
were on the roof of the building of the
Empire Gear and Top company. a one
story brick structure adjoining the
Wiener building. An explosion occur
red in the Wiener building which blew
out the wall of that building and three
stories of the side wall of the Wiener
structure crushed down on the firemen.
The building, on the roof Of which
they were standing, was smashed, and
the men were buried under huge
mass of brick and timber. The dead
are William B. Crane and Jacob
Bleule. Firemen Ross and Reiff were
perhaps fatally injured.

was never a better illustration of the
close connection Of protection with all
other vicious measures than this bill.
Mr.. Cochran devoted himself to a

Mr.. Cochran said he did not suppose

Venor) would be connected with such a
measure

community"

out of-this house, but voted against the
emasculated condition of it as it came
back from the senate" (Applause.)
Greater applause followed when Mr..
Cochran said the corporations had been
able to write their own schedules in
the senate.
Mr.. Marsh asked if it was not the
in New York who had written the Will
son tariff schedules in the senate
1.-The truth knows no distinction of
persons" replied Mr.. Cochran with
emphasis. This remark aroused re-
newed Democratic applause.
Parties Compared.
The difference between the two par
ties, which was indicated in every Re-
publican song was that the Democratic
party did not know what it wanted
and did not know how to get it; the
Republican party knew what it wanted
and knew how to reach out after it.
The Democratic party was essentially
one Of divisions. The Republican par
ty had an appetite for power and knew
how to crafty it. The Democratic
party had beliefs for the benefit of the
country. On these beliefs battles were
fought to a finish.
1--WE are going into battle with dis
tracted feelings. Many of us have di-
vergent views. That is a feature of
Democratic procedure. That is why

Is the Laugh MirthfuI.
AS to the platform, Mr.. Cochran said
that If the New York Democratic plat
form was evasive he wondered what
would be the terms Of that written in
the White house? The Republicans
laughed at this
Mr. Cochran paused Il wonder if
there was-mirth in that laugh. 1t was
led by the chairman of the ways and
means committee and if that was mirth

Mr.. Payne interrupted with a refer
ence to Mr.. Williams (Miss), which
brought this reply from Mr.. Cochran:

furnished to this house a striking sam
pie of what can be accomplished by

and ability" Democratic appleause)
Mr. Cochran continued his argument
against protection and the protective
system.

making Republican speeches in 1895.

Can Garry Commissares.
Besides, you can carry an ample
supply of food with you in your ice
chest or bunker, and enough restora-
tive drinks, too, if you think you'll
need 'em. You can cook your meals
on the boat or at a campfire on shore,
so you won't be dependent upon the
doubtful fare of the country hotels.
You can even sleep comfortably on
board in case your launch has a cabin.
And, instead of taking three friends
with you, you can usually take six or
seven just as easily.
LAS for the expense, the original cost
of launch is about the same as for
an autOmobile-less than $500 for a
small, simple boat-say a twenty-four
foot launch without a cabin and with a
gasoline motor making six or seven
miles an hour-up to $4,000 or more for
a big siXty-foOt twenty-five horse
power boat, with a speed of twelve
miles. an elaborate cabin and all the

The Women os Russ,n

According to Dr. Wolf Won Schier-
brand. writing in the Delineator, the
curious and appalling discrepancy be-
tween the lot of the grande dame in
Russia and that of the women of the
middle or lower classes is the result
not so much of greater wealth rs of a
complete reversal of standards. The
Russian aristocracy is cosmopolitan.
and its women are. like the women of
the powerful advancing nations of
western Europe. an independent force,
leading in society ana domestic life.
but the women of the bulk of the ma
ton are still oriental and more the
slaves than the helpmates of their huS-
bands. The condition of these women
is miserable in its degradation and
hopelessneSs. AS the author concludes.
