and to race their boats against
ours. Then. it would not take any
great sum to have an annual, inter.
state yachting carnival which would
be one of the best things that
could happen to the coast, Tor such
an event would become of national
prominence.
Having been conservant with the
sport of Yachting for over twenty
years, and being mindful of the
fact that it constitutes one Of the
chief attractions of the greatest
winter and summer resorts of the
world, notably the Riviera, in the
former case, where yachtmen from
all over Europe ship their small

yachts for the Mediterranean sea-
son, I believe that q greater foster
ing Of the sport on these waters will
rebound to the great and lasting
benefit Of this part of the Mexican
gulf coast. l believe that we can
get more free advertising, to come
down to commercial basis, from
the building up of yachting, fishing
and other sports also, than we dream
Of in our philosophy-lf we 60
about. it in the right way.
Looking to this end, I have made
arrangements TO write up sthe
coast" in the yachting department
of Forest and Stream, of New York,
which has the largest circulation Of
any sportsman's paper in the world,
and l know that others who love
these shores will do all they can to

The leading papers Of New Or
leans will continue to devote as
much space to yachting as its pro-
moters desire, and if you will con-
tribute.a small part of your columns
to the sport from tlme-to.time it
will be very encouraging and some
of us will do all we can TO advance
here, aud we will incidently expect
to see the gulf coast attract the at.
tention in the future which it SO
richly deserves.

WORIk ON THE CANAL.

There seems to be a difference of
opinion among the Panama Canal Com
missioners as to whether the work
should be done by the government or
let out to the lowest bidders. AS this
difference threatened to delay the work
the President called the commissioners
together to find out just what had
been done. He found occasion to tell
them two things. namely, to get to-
gether and go ahead with the work
and not to accumulate a clerical force
altogether out of proportion to the need
for clerks.
From this advice it is evident that
the President found evidences OF a
lack of willingness on the part of the
commissioners to yield their individual
opinions, when necessary to reach
decision upon important matters thus
wasting valuable time in useless di-
sensons. He also found a tendency
to build up a red tape system that
would require a small army of clerks
to do a comparatively small amount
Of work. His get together" advice
will probably have a good effect. In
fact, it has had a good result al
ready, since the commissioners have
decided to do some experimental work
in order to determine about what the
actual cost of certain kinds of work
is. This experimental work will be
guide for letting contracts II it should
be decided the work can be done at
less cost through contractors than by
the government. But what is chiefly
important is that the commissioners
have been told they are to show re-
suits and keep a close watch on the
expenses.

ANIMALS UNDERSTOOD GERMAN.
From the Baltimore Sun.


New York, Oct. 12.-Carl Hagen
beck, the noted wild animal trainer
who arrived from Germany last Sat-
urday, strolled through the Bronx
Geological Gardens with Director
Hornaday. He recalled that twenty
months ago he had sold two lions and
a pair of tigers to the New York Zoo
and inquired how they were.
Going in seach of the beasts, the two
men found Queenie and Wilhelm, the
lion and lioness, doing in one cage
and Count and Countess, the tigers,
sleepily parading in another. Hagen
beck called out in German:
Il wonder how Queenie and Wilhelm
are? What has become of my Count
and Countess?"
There was a roar first from Queenie,
then from Wilhelm. and finally from
the tigers. Hagenbeck approached the
lions cage and a row between the
lions followed to determine whose ears
should be first rubbed by their old
master. Finally the heads of the two
beasts were laid close together at the
cages edge. Alternately, they growled
at each other and purred at Hagen
beck. who put both hands between the
bars and patted them as one would
stroke a house cat.

WOMAN "RATTLED" SHAW.
From the Baltimore Sun.


Indianapolis, Oct. 6.-Leslie M. Shaw,
Secretary of the Treasury, was dis
concerted by the voice of woman in
his audience last night. The questions
he asked were so pointed that he was
forced to answer. In doing so he lost
the thread of his argument and could
not take it up again when the lady
ceased to question him.
Mr.. Shaw was explaining that there
is no such thing as trusts-the Sher-
man antitrust act had killed the in
iquitous corporations-whe a woman's
clear voice inquired:
Then are all trusts done away with,
Mr.. Secretary"
A death-like silence fell over the big
speakers answer. When it finally came
after an embarrassing delay it fell like
bomb among the "rooters" and
workers.
Yes, ma'am," was the sole answer.
Then, seeing the dismayed faces of
men around him who have been apollo
giving for trusts during two cam
paigns, he FASTENED to explain. The
old style of trusts, he declared, were
where several properties were placed
in the hands of a single man as trus-
tee, from which combination the word
trust" came to be used. He admitted,
however, that the present combina-
tiOns where plants are sold outright
and combined under one management
are just as bad and that such institu-
tionS do exist

HOW BEEFsTEAK WAS DIsCOV-
EDEn
From the Country Gentleman.

From the Country Gentleman.
Beefsteak, like most other good
things, was discovered entirely by ao-
cident. It appears that Lucius Plan
Gus. a Roman of rank. was ordered by
the Emperor Trajan for some Offense
to act as one of the mental sacrificers
to Jupiter; he resisted, but was at
length dragged to the altar. There
the fragments of the victim were laid
upon the fire and the unfortunate SEN
atOr was forcibly compelled to turn
them.
In the process of roasting, one of the
slices fell eff the Goals and was caught
by Plancus in its fall. 1t burned his
fingers. and he instinctively thrust
them into his mouth. In that moment
he had made the grand discovery that
the taste of a slice, thus carbonated,
was infinitely beyond all the sodden
cookery of Rome.
A new expedient to save his dignity
was suggested at the same time, and
he at once evinced his obedience to the
Emperor by seeming to go through the
sacrifices with due regularity, and his
scorn of the employment, by turning
the whole ceremony into a matter of
appetite. He swallowed every piece,
deluded Trajan, defrauded Jupiter,
and invented the beefsteak
discovery of this magnitude could
not long be concealed; the sacrifice be-
gan to disappear with a rapidity and
satisfaction to the parties too extra
ordinary to be unnoticed. The priests
Of Jupiter adopted the practice with
delight, and the King of Olympus must
have been soon starved had he depend
ed on his share of the good things of
Rome
