the temptations of the world, is then

New York HarbOr.

The Erie's, new ~ferryboat Goshen now
wears the new ..broom'' nailed to her
pilot house in token of having won the
title of 'the fastest felryboat in New
York harbor." This was accomplished
in a recent trial of six hours between
the Whitehall ferry landing and st.
George on Staten Island. 1t was a test
over a measured course for the benefit CT
the city officials who Are to manage the
Staten Island ferry in future. On s3me
of her trips the Goshen covered the dis
lance in twenty minutes, which is eli light
minutes less than the regular time
scheduled. Her average for the eight
trips made was - minutes aud 40 seconds
which is better by more than five minutes
than the time table calls for. The boat
is not only the fastest but one of the
handsomest in the harbor and cost close
to $3.50, 900.

A RACE OF
WARSHIPS.
Ocean Contest Developed Many
Weaknesses Not One
Vessel Uninjured.
THE MISSOURI FIRST.

NEW YORK. May 9.-News of a re
markable ocean ace. in which sever
United States b~attleships TOOL part
was brought TO this port by the battle
ship Alabama, which has arrived In
command of Rear Admiral Charles II.
Davis and will go to the navy yard to
be overhauled because of the poor
showing which she made in the con
test.
Kentucky, Maine, Kearsarge, Iowa.
Alabama and Massachusetts.
The race began at 10 o'clock in the
morning and ended Mt 6 o'clock in the
evening. a wireless ''quit" signal going
out from the Alabama. which was then
miles in the rear of the nearest com
petitor.
During the eight hours that the race
lasted the Atlantic ocean was churned
as ii has not been churned by Uncle
Sans fighting ships in many years.
For awhile it was nip and tuck be-
tween the faster ships, but gradually
the giant Missouri drew away from the
rest. and when the quit signal came
she was only seventy-three and a half
miles south of Cape Henry. having
covered 1861 miles in the eight hours.
Not in the history of the United
States navy has there been such a race
between ocean going armored vessels.
Until the signal for it was given from
the Alabama not an officer on any of
the ships knew that Admiral Davis
contemplated such a sever test, and
the result was that not a single vessel
came, out without some injury. The
other vessels in the race went to
Hampton Roads for repairs, but the
Alabama came on here.
The start was made promptly at 10
o'clock, when the feet was @ miles
south of Cape Henry. 1t was nip and
for awhile, and excitement ran
high on all of the vessels as the men
began TO realize what it meant. Of
ficially the contest was known as a
speed test, but it was just a plain
every day race. and the men got into
the spirit of it without loss Of time.
Finally the Massachusetts began to
forge ahead, and when the race was at
IN end she was a mile and a half
ahead of the Alabama, which was six
teen and a half miles behind the Mis-
souri,. with the other boats between.
The other new boats-the Maine. the
Kearsarge and the Kentucky-kept
close together. the Maine being even
miles behind the Missouri. followed by
the Kearsarge. Ii mile behind, and
the Kentucky. two miles behind her.
The officers of the Alabama declared
that there could be no other reason
than her foul bottom. caused by accu-
mutation of sea grass, for her lack of
speed.
At the start the vessels were almost
abreast, and they remained close to
each other for the first two hours.
Then the Massachusetts and Alabama
began to fall behind. In the case OF the
Massachusetts this was not so sur
prising. as she has never been much of
a speed vessel. but those on the Ala
bama We're dumfounded. as she is
one of the fastest battleships in the
navy. There didn't seem to be any
thing the matter with her. vet as the
miles were reeled off she fell further
and further behind md at the finish
was Il mile and Il half behind the Mas
sachusetts. the most notorious poke of
them all.

AT HI SALE

The Ladies Hospital Auxiliary are
still conducting the rummage sale on
upper State street opposite the Polish
Catholic church.
The sale will continue as long as
goods are donated. Many amusing in
cidents are brought to light at the
sale and as "a point of vantage from
which to study human nature a rum
mage sale is unsurpassed.
Somewhere at sonnet ime some one
has said that a person reveals their
true character when they are trying
to strike a bargain. and from things
seen and heard at the sale the asser-
ton is undoubtedly true.
A Hungarian woman, with a num-
Der of dirty children in her wake,
rummaged among the children's
clothes for articles Of apparel for the
little ones. The clothes are in good
condition and the prices next to
nothing. She rebelled at each prlce
asked and a child's dress for % cents
brought forth the exclamation IN
broken English "Ten cent? Me no
pay. Me poor woman. Look al a
childer. Me only ten cert, and
then she exhibited, with a %sorrowtul
look. a worn pocketbook containing u
ten cent piece.
The attendant took pity on the wom-
an and let her have the dress for ten
cents. Then the woman proceeded to
buy more articles, and after much
shrewd bargaining and playing on the
sympathies of the attendants, obtained
a large bundle of clothing for forty
and then to the establishment
and chargin of the attendants paved
for the bundle from a twenty dollar
bill.
The buyer who bargains large and
pays little is offset by the person who
does not pay at all, namely those who
be termed shoplifters.
YES said an attendant, "a rum
mage sale is not a picnic by any
means and the greatest evil we have
TO contend with is stealing. | can't
sail it anything but plain down right
stealing. Why, a oma came in here
5he first day We opened, a gray
haired motherly looking old woman
who one would never suspect: but
after a time ourattention was directed
TO her. and yesterday our suspicious
were confirmed. She wore a cape-by
the way, we are always on the look
out for the cape wearers-and had
gathered two armfulls of goods and
starting out.
In an unlucky moment, in the rush
for choice articles. someone gave her
push and to catch herself she grabbed
the counter with.both hands and down
went about half trunk full of stolen
articles. Did she get confused? Not
Bit. She just kept on walking on
in a ~leisurely manner and in half an
hour was back again. There is some-
one watching her all the time now and
guess she has caught on, for this
afternoon she came without the cape.
Each morning when the store is
opened there are from forty to fifty
waiting at the door. |
The goods for the sale is being i
gathered by Mrs. Samuel Iiornsby. {

Still a Beautiful Woman.

After weathering tempests wilder
than those which have fallen to the
lot OF even most crowned heads, the
evening Of Marie Sophie's life is now
passing in calm Twelve yeals ago,
at the death Of her mother, she In
herited enough money TO relieve her
from financial worries, and she then
purchased the house on the Boulevard
Maillot, at Neuilly, overlooking the
Bois de Boulogne, where she has re-
sided ever since.
To this day, IN spite of her sixty
three years, Marie Sophie is beau
press of Austria. she has the same
erect, graceful figure, the same elastic
step, the same fine bearing. Eight
years ago. her peace was again broken
by the tragic death of the Duchesse
d'Alencon, and a year later by the
assassination of the Empress Eliza
beth For long years she has dressed
only in sweeping black, wearing for
all ornament only a sacred relic in
locket given her by the Duchesse
d'AlencOn.
With the exception of her morning
rides in the Saint-Germain Forest
and her rare strolls in Paris, and her
occasional appearance at Longchamp
or AuteuiI, when her horses are 70
run, the ex-queen is almost never
seen. Even at Auteuil, her presence
is becoming less and less frequent
and she secludes herself in a privase
box in which her love Of privacy Is 50
respected that even those knowing
her dare not present their respects
At home, she lives in a seclusion as
great. Her books, her horses, a few
hands at cards with a lady-in-waiting
pass away her days. For she has
clung TO the formality of ladies-in-
waiting. Not to recall her royal days,
but her childhood, when honors were
due to her not as the consort of a
king, but as a princess born of the
house of Bourbon. This is the only
vanity left TO the lonely dethroned
Queen. whose head now bears no
other crown than that of her silyered
hair.
The Washington times., 1905-08-27

not 1nfrequently in the life Of Marie
Sophie, the look in her deep serious
eyes is melancholy rather than bitter.
After passing years in which she en-
oured many of the horrors supposed
to have perished with the Middle Age.
after rising TO queenly throne and
seeing it fall with her, after rescuing
herself only to become a dependent
upon charity, Marie Sophie has no re-
pinings in the quiet retired existence
she now leads in Paris, and seems to
ask no better than to mingle with the
populace or stay hidden in her house
at Neuilly, the fashionable suburb.
being in either place equally alone
and forgotten.
Yet there is one subject, perhaps,
which still arouses interest in the
wearied breast of the ex-Queen of
Naples. Like her sister the late EN-
press of Austria, like her other sis
ter the Duchesse d'Alencon, who died
such frightful death in the fire of
the Paris Charity Bazaar in 1897, Marie
Sophie loves horses passionately. She
often rides. easily recognizable either
by her seat in the saddle, which is
pronounced the best in France, or by
