A Great Regatta.

Yachtsmen all over the world are turn
ing their eyes toward Hampton Roads,
where during the period of the James
town Exposition there will be the largest
and most beautiful assemblage Of every
thing that floats or sails, from war
ship to catboat, that has ever been
dreamed of by the most imaginative
sailor man.
Every American knows that the Hamp-
ton Roads is an estuary of the Chesa-
peake, Bay reaching from point within
Capes Charles and Henry to the mouth
of the James river, where it widens into
beautiful land-locked bay, forming a
safe harbor capable of comfortably ac-
comodating the navies Of the world with
the merchant marine thrown in. School
BOYS recall with glowing eyes that here
the celebrated fight took place between
the Merrimac and the Monitor within
sight of the green parapets of Fortress
Monroe
Upon this noble sheet of water there
will be held next year series of regattas,
races and Aquatic events on scale
never before attempted and with a
marine aggregation drawn from all parts
Of the earth In the presence of the
navies of the world multitude of white
winged yachts will compete for honors
and trophies well worth the effort.
Commanding view of one hundred
and sixty square miles of protected
water way, the jamestown Exposition
possesses an area for naval, marine
and yachting exhibition such as has
been enjoyed by no other exposition in
the worlds history.
Many trophies and prizes will be
offered and many new boats built to con-
test for them. 1t seems probable that a
new and better era for yachting as a
clean and noble sport will date from the
events to occur during the jamestown
Exposition. Representative yacthsmen
from the United States and Canada have
joined hands with the Hampton Roads
Yacht Club and the Exposition Company
to ensure clean sport, equitable rules, a
fair field and no favor

A New Building for the GeoIogi
cal Survey.

The need of the United States Geo.
logical Survey for a new building in
Washington, d. c., is pressing as every
one who visits the Survey in its present
quarters must realize.
This bureau gives permanent employ.
ment to about 1000 persons, and tenn.
porary field employment, chiefly in
summer, to nearly as many more. OF
this force about 900 are engaged at times,
and during all of every winter, on Office
work in Washington. For their accom-
mediation two buildings are at present
rented one at 1880 street N. W., for
general office work, and one in the
adjoining alley for the exclusive use of
the division of engraving and printing
The floor space occupied, including base
ment, amounts to 105,670 square feet,
which is quite inadequate. Even the
corridors have to be utilized for desk
space or map cases. 1t is necessary to
supply quarters for some employees in
the National Museum and Smithsonian
Institution and others are permitted for
lack of proper office accommodations to
work at home.
Even though the buildings now oc.
cupied by the Survey were sufficiently
commodious, they could never be made
suitable for the purposes of the Bureau
The delicate physical apparatus is con-
stantly affected by vibrations from the
heavy printing presses. At least 2j
rooms in the main building are so dark
that it is impossible to work in them
without the aid of artificial light. In the
darkest of these rooms As persons are
working from 8 in the morning until
4:30 in the afternoon by the help of

by fire. Recently, over $4,000 worth
of property was destroyed in 90 minutes
by fire in the Photographic labora-
tory on the top floor of the main build
ing. The buildings contain over 100, 900
square feet of vanished and infiam-
mable wooden partitions along which
fire could spread with great rapidity.
Many of the records thus fimsily
sheltered could not be replaced at any
price.
What the Survey needs is a strong,
fireproof, weDl-lighted building contain
ing a net available space of at least
$50, 600 square feet, exclusive of base
ment and halls. Such building would
cost about 81 100000 The annual rent
paid on the buildings now occupied is
$34 900, which is nearly per cent on
81 200 600.

The Pro b | e m at Washinqton.

Time brings its swiftest changes to
Washington. 1t seems as though no
other place can reveal such sudden tran
sitions from obscurity to power and from
power back again to obscurity. Every
day brings its own change on the dial of
public opinion, timepiece whose record
no one can adequately analyze or ex-
plain. If a sentiment is running over the
country in favor of this or that, it is
beyond the power of the average OBJ
server to explain whence it came or to
analyze it by any ordinary rules of logic,
but nevertheless public opinion is always
there and is a force which must be reck-
oned with, though one section will get
worked up over question to which an
other section is quite Indifferent. One
part of the country will be aroused to the
point of distraction over the rate prob
lem, while somewhere else it will be
phases of the tariff which claim public
attention. Others are interested only
in irrigation. Every section emphasizes
its own political needs. There is one
important thing to be considered in ma
tional legislation-the happy blending of
all these heterogeneous wants and Opin-
ions into a harmonious whole-a diff
Guilty which has proved a puzzle to all
students and observers of other govern

THE WIDOW SPOILED 1T.
Pensioner of Marshall Field Who
Was Persuaded to Ask
for a Raise.

Among the charities of the late
persons to whom a stated sum was
sent regularly each month. With
these he was generous, but he dis
liked being imposed upon. One man,
who had in some way impressed Mr..
Field with his deserts, had a check
each 80 days for s25, relates Youth s
Companion.
He had gone far from Mr.. Fields
memory, but remained on the list.
His pension made him quite IAN ELI

Establishments of his landlady, an

raised. You can't keep two as easily
as you can one. Mr.. Field Is a rich
man, and he will understand that.
You go down and tell him you need
$50 a month now"
Away went Henry, and after much
argument and persuasion obtained &C
cess to the inner Office Of the great
merchant, where he stated his case.
Mr.. Field became interested at once.
"a widow, eh?" he inquired smil-
ing. did she ask you-or you her?'
"Well, SIR" stammered Henry, Il
guess she did lead up to it."
How old is she?"
About 40, sir"
did she support herself?"
Yes, sir. She has big boarding
house. boarded with her. ! do yet,

"Ah, yes" said Mr.. Field. so you
want a raise, do you? Let me see
how much was your pension? Twen-
ty-five dollars? Well, you won't have
to pay any board now, so suppose we
make it $3.50? That will keep you in
spending money"

TURKS CRUELTY TO HORSES
Prefecture of the Ottoman Capital
Will Take Steps to Re
strain It.

A laudable decision has been arrived
at by the prefecture of the Ottoman
capital, with the view of protecting
horses from misuse and ill-treatment,
says the Constantinople correspondent
of the London Lancet The Turks are
on the whole, very kind to animals,
and shield them from injury by every
possible means. At almost every Turk
ish house in Stamboul there is to be
found small receptacle where water
is poured in every day for the use Of
the innumerable street dogs. A Mus
suman, building his dwelling place,
rarely forgets to attach some contriv-
ance for sheltering birds, pigeons, spar
rows, etc
am assured that a cabman who
overruns a dog, heedlessly enjoying
its dolce far niente in the middle of
the street, has to pay fine of several
piastres, while the sultan is believed
to spend a large sum on the feeding
of the numerous canine scavengers
around his kosks and palaces. There
are, however. a good many employers
of horse labor who use their animals
in a cruel or thoughtless manner
To prevent this the employment Of
senile, debilitated or diseased horses
has been forbidden. Municipal agents
will have difficulty in Constantinople
in insuring that the measure is strict
ly adhered to-that the load never ex-
ceeds the amount proportionate to the
horses strength. and so on-but, any
how, the spirit which has Influenced
the new enactment is laudable.
