1t was suggested at the meeting that
the clubs houseboat, now anchored at
Mattawoman creek, be towed up to River

on board the craft, which is big enough
for the affair. The shad bake given last
spring was a very enjoyable affair, and it
is thought that the next event of its
kind will plainly show the growth of the
club during the summer by the fleet
which will turn out.
Nothing has been done lately in re-
gard to the building of new club
house, and as the club expects to be
forced to move within three months, most
of it's members are very much worried
over the matter. The dock in front of
the house will no longer accommodate
the fleet and at the meeting Wednesday
night an appropriation was made for
several new moorings These moorings
! will be set out on the edge of the flats
opposite the clubhouse, and a slight extra
fee charged members for their use.

The time of the year Is now upon US

that the plan offered in The Star last
Sunday would be more apt to result in a
real yachty event. The idea therein set
forth suggested that the last club enter
tafnment of the year be- made boating
fixture instead of the usual Sunday school
picnic-like affair. by inviting every boat
owner in the organization 10 enter his
craft in a race from the white haTbor
buoy TO White House landing, arriving
there Saturday night and partaking of
an oyster feed shore the following
morning.
1t would be possible to secure the en-
tries of at least eighteen power cruisers
in this race, including the Alice. SALIVA,
Wanderer, RoSamond, Lady Maud, Louise

for the benefit of members and guests
One argument put forth was that every
boat club in Washington possessed a
box of some description. and the Cap
ital Yacht Club members, taking them
as whole, needed such a promoter OF
sociability. The question will probably be
decided at the next meeting.

With Hunting Without a License.
New Orleans Picayune, March %.
Dr.. B. A. Ledbetter, well known as a lc-
cal practitioner and a member of the State
Board of Health, was much astonished
yesterday morning to learn that a charge
of hunting without license had been pre-
ferred against him in the district court at
Donaldsonyille, and in explaining the
matter makes the following statement
AT 4 clock on a Saturday afternoon,
in November or December just before
leaving the city, applied for a license at
the new courthouse, but finding the build
ing closed, explained the circumstances to
Mr.. Miller, the game commissioner. He
granted me a temporary permit, and upon
my return a few days later Immediately
took out the regulation permit.
Il explained the matter 7ery fully to
the game warden of Ascension parish
when started out upon my hunt, and my
explanation seemed satisfactory to him.
When ] came back j saw Mr. Miller a
second time, and he informed me that
everything was all right and in perfect
order.
Il thought nothing more OF the matter
until this morning, when read in the
dispatches from Donaldsonville that had
been charged under the state law with
hunting without a license. was nat
urally chagrined, and at once rang MIR.
Miller up on the telephone. He eemed
very much surprised, and said that mis-
take had evidently been made.

4. We intend that the fight for good
government shall be permanent, and 10
that end we propose to establish an or
ganization which will safeguard our rights
as citizens.
2. We are not fighting individuals. but
oppose the present system. which creates
a one-man power. in our city and state 4.
The foundation Of this system is the enot-
nous appointiye power of the governor;
this we purpose to curtail.
3. We advocate the proper encourage
ment OF capital and labor; the security OF
legitimate investment from broW-beating
and Inulcting methods by those In Office; ];
the knowledge by labor that il is free from
the grasp Of a legislature controlled either
by individuals or by corporations.
4. We believe in and will restore the
financial good name of our city and state.
70 bring about this result we propose to
obliterate the stigma caused by the re-
pudiation of obligations Of the state;
and we will abolish all unnecessary boards
and board attorneyships and sinecures OF
every nature whatsoever, introducing eco-
nomical and efficient methods into the
public service. We believe that our gov
eminent can be run on d business like
basis, which means that the taxpayer will

education free from politics and controlled
alone BY those most interested in the vel

fathers.
81 s. We are not working in the interest Of
any man or men. We stand for good,
clean and efficient government, and when
men are found who come up TO these
Standards We shall recommend them to
the people for Office.
I. We condemn any system of taxation
which is not founded on an equal basis Of
assessment, regardless of political aGiIia-

8. We stand for the honest count, the
untranmeled exercise OF the voting power,
and the vigorous and relentless prosecution
Of all election frauds
These principles for which we stand arc

Wins Bet ON Long Life.
Detroit Correspondence New York Press1


A letter received by former Senator
Thomas w. Palmer. on his eighty-frst
birthday, reveals curious incident in the
career of the statesman, in which he prac-
tically bet S15O,O00 he would live to be rs
years old. The head Of an insurance
company had been after the senator for
a 100000 policy for a long time
Finally, about seventeen years ago. he
obtained the senator's consent, but his
company refused the risk The senator
was then 64 years old and the premium
would have been $3.50 a year. The
company figured that he could not pos.
sibly live long enough to pay in the
amount the policy would call for.
The senator didn't need the policy
particularly, for he was wealthy, and
still is. He proceeded to wager $780,
600 with several insurance companies
for no company would take the entire
amount alone-that he would live more
than eleven years. The wagers took the
form of an income policy. For the
amount the senator deposited he re-
ceived an income Of S12,5OO a year for
life, whether he lived one year or a
hundred He gave long odds for a man
Of his age, for if he died the next day his
estate would lose the entire amount, and
II he died in year it would lose $751;, 500
Butsthe senator has drawn s212,500 on
the bet, and is hale and hearty and is still
winning. When he dies the original de-
posits will be returned TO his estate.
