Gently at Shelburne Falls, Mllers Falls
and Greenfield He will be in the field
with the Brattleboro team a few times
this season. Last year Mr. Holland ac-
companied his sister on her journey to
Russia, and they had the unusual eX-
perience of meeting his highness, the
Car of Russia, while visiting al his pri-
waite palace in Peterhof, a surburb 10
miles from ST. Petersburg. They re-
ceiVed permission to go to the palace
through the influence of the tutor to the
Cars children While strolling through
the parks Miss Holland asked If it were
possible to obtain drink of fresh water,
and the guard granted the tutor per-
mission to take the visitors to the foun-
tain. She led Miss Holland and Mr.. Hol
land through several corridors and turn
ing to the right they We're greatly sur
prised to see the Car alone at the foun-
tain drinking. Upon seeing the three APP
proach the Car bowed, filed the glass
and extended 1t to the tutor, who intro
duced the guests to the Car. He extend
ed the greetings which he is said to wish
to all Americans, and after eXcusing HIM
self, mounted a pure white horse, bowed
and rode away into the park. Mr.. Hol-
land says he received an impression that
the Car enjoyed more the quietness of
home life than that of the splendor and
gaiety of the palace, and that it is known
that he is very fond of retiring to the
villas where he can enjoy life like an or
binary mortal.

JUDGE HANNA'S THEME.
Christian Science and Its Greed Dis
cussed Yesterday.

A lecture on christian Science" was de-
livered yesterday afternoon at o'clock at
the Columbia Theater by Judge Septimus
j. Hanna of Colorado Springs Col, under
the auspices of the Christian Science
churches of the city, which hold meetings
similar to that held yesterday twice year,
in May and December.
The audience completely filled the theater.
Judge Hanna was introduced by a. c.
Peter, first reader in the First Church Of
Christ, Scientist, of this city. In the
course of his address the speaker told
of the life and character of Mrs. Eddy, the
founder of the sect, and then went on to
discuss the Christian Science creed. All
who become members of the church, he
said, must accept the Bible; must acknowl-
edge one God and one Christ, the Holy
Ghost and man as His image; Gods for
giveness of sin in the destruction of sin
and the spiritual understanding that evil Is
unreal, hence not eternal; Jesus atonement
as the evidence of divine efficacious love,
unfolding mans unity with God through
Christ the way-shower; must believe that
man is saved through Christ through truth
life and love- and must promise to possess
Christ's attributes of mind and love one an
other.

RICHMOND, Va, December TO- 1904.
The police of this city and of Peters,
burg are inquring for the Junior mem
Der of the firm of Hicks & Son, agents
for the International Registry Company
of New York" There are about 100 ply
sicians of this city who would like to get
a glimpse of the man. He has been miss

for a week. Mr.. Hicks came here and
opened his office He was furnishing In
surance for all who cared to take 1t, his
rates being 81 each year for each $1,000
He wanted medical examiners In this
city, and in order to get the position OF
examiner he required each of the ply 81
clans whom he appointed to take out a
policy for $4,000.
He did an immense business, and ac-
cording to what the physicians say he
made each physician the sole examiner
for the city. Mr.. Hicks also insured sew
eral people-the policies issued calling
for accident, sick and death payments.
Then he went over to Petersburg, and
there he is said to have repeated his per-
Torrance here. At any rate, the cockade
city doctors have policies and commits
sions. but have little work to do.
From there Mr.. Hicks went to Ashland,
and he gave that city dose of quick
work and cheap insurance. People are
said to have borrowed money right and
left and invested in the scheme. Now the
police of the two cities and the county
authorities are after him. He Is thought

YACHT SAILING AN ART.
To Excel in It Man Must Have an
Inherent Love for the Sport.
From Scribner's

From Scr1bners.
That boat sailing is an art and not a
mere trade, something which must be born
in man, and that cannot be acquired by
mere teaching, is beyond all question. The
successful skipper must be one who follows
the calling not for mere gain. but because
he loves it. He must be a man OF indie
pendent thought, of iron resolution, but
with an observing and retentive mind-two
qualities not always found together.
He must be capable of taking infinite
pains with his boat; of neglecting nothing,
however difficult or impossible or however
trIflng in its results, which may in any way
contribute to her improvement. He must
not spare himself, and it follows that he
is likely to be very eXacting with his crew.
They will respect him, but they generally
do not love him-eXcept when he Is at the
wheel.
To the born boat sailor d race is an
inspiration; his face CLOVIS and his eyes
fairly flame with the same expression that
animates great artist absorbed in the Gre
alton of picture, his eyes burning like an
eagles while he sees in the air the scene
he is depicting The really great boat
sailor is in truth an artist inspired by his
Work to point where he rises superior to
all immaterial and trivial things and sees
only the essentials which make for victory.
What would not some wealthy yachts
men pay to experience for even hour
the joy and exultation of power that comes
to man in a close race? The boat is
alive; responding to the touch of the wheel
like a mettleSome horse to The spur; she
bounds onward and her master is deaf to all
but the buzz of the wind and the surge IF
the sea to leeward! Hear the ring Of his
voice as he gives the sharp command.
Ready, about" and watch the spell Of
that voice on the crew-how they spring
into action as one man, and throw the force
of a giant on the head sheets.
With such a personality as this, success
f,1l results are DOSSfble Only when all dis
turbing influences are absent; there must
be as few as possible about him at the
wheel; no one personally inimical - him
must be near at hand, as the Influence of
such a man is fatal to the speed Ct the
boat. No suggestions or remarks should
be made by the friends of the owner, and,
in fact, the fewer of the owners friends on
board, the better for the boat. Many
race has been lost, many a boat has had
her reputation ruined. by the abundance of
advice showered on the man at the wheel.
