New York Yacht Club Makes
Public Its Reply to Royal

Especial to The Times-Dispatch.l

nj
New York. March 13.-The New York
Yacht Club made public to-day it's for
NAL reply to the Royal Ulster Yacht
Club, declining Sir Thomas Lipton's
last challenge for the America cup.
While the reasons assigned for turn
ing down the challenge are practically
as outlined heretofore-that the club
VIII not consent to any limitation by
the challenger upon the power and size
OF the defending Vessel-the letter
states also that an unconditional chal-
ienge for the cup would have been
accepted.
There is also a note of surprise in
the reply that Sir Thomas should have
made the stipulation as to the defend :
Ing yacht, in the face of the fact that
similar clause in his 1907 challenge
sent by cable to e. +. Patterson, hon
orary secretary of the Royal Ulster
Yacht Club, read in part as follows:
The question whether the New York
Yacht Club should accept a challenge
Tor the America cup. which imposes
cup limit restrictions in respect to
power. size or type, or than such as
are implied in the limits of dimen-
sions expressed in the deed of gift Is
no longer an open one, and we had
supposed that Sir Thomas j. Upton fully
uHtSiStoou tHstl SUCH a CnaliCnSe COulQ
not be accepted by IT..
The present challenge does not diff
fer in principle from that which he
caused to be forwarded to us by the
Royal Irish Yacht Club in 1907, which.
in substance, called for a race be-
tween two vessels neither of which
should exceed, under the then existing
rules of measurement OF the New York
Yacht Club, Glass j, the limit Of which
will be sixty eight feet racing length.
which would have called for a vessel
OF approximately the same water line
| length as that mentioned in the pres
ent challenge"
To emphasize the clubs reference to
the previous challenge, a complete copy
of the resolutions declining the chal-
lense Of 1907 was forwarded to Mr.
Patterson The reply contained also an
expression of regret that the New York
Yacht Club should be compelled to
decline any challenge from the Royal
/ Ulster Yacht Club" and the statement
that sit would have accepted with
pleasure an unconditional challenge fol
the cup. similar to those which 1t has
received In the past. and which have
resulted in the three series of matches
| for the cup.

A charming young woman walked into store in the village and asked to see some typewriting paper. Ait CT making her selection she hesitat- ed for a moment. "Do you make any reduction to clergymen?" she inquired.
 "Yes,'' replied the merchant promptly. "Are you a clergyman's wife,"
 "N-no," she answered.
 "A clergyman's daughter, prob ably,'' said the man as he tied up the package.
 "No," was the young woman's hesitating answer. "But"-and she leaned over the counter and spoke in confidential whisper-"if noth- ing happens l shall be engaged to a theological student as soon as he comes home from college next month"

The Word Almanac"

The etymology of the word Cal manac" has been more disputed than that of any other in the Eng fish language, and from the opin- ions expressed upon the subject. Verstegan's has been accepted as probable, though there cannot be the slightest doubt that the Saxons. from whom he obtains his deriva- tion, took their term from the Ara bic. The Saxons, he says, "used to engrave upon certain squared sticks about foot in length or shorter or longer as they pleased the courses of the moons for the whole year, whereby they could always certainly tell when the new moons, full moons and changes should happen, as also their festival dates, and such q carved stick they called an al- mon-aght-that is to say, al-mon- heed-to wit, the regard or observa- ton of all the moons, and hence 1s derived the name of almanac. = London Tit-Bits.

Although she didn't fade and die in the early summer time, when the June roses were blooming, with the sweet words of forgiveness on her pallid lips, she rose and hit him over the head with rolling pin, so that he couldn't go to school for more than month on account of not being able to put his hat on."-London Tit-Rits.

The PIous Mussulman Artist Paintsd
 Only Dead Birds.

The PIous MussuIman Artist Paintsd
 Only Dead Birds.
 According to one of the tenets of the Mohanimedan religion, it is a sin to make a picture of any living thing. The elaborate decorations of the palaces and mosques of the east are almost exclusively made up of ingeniously interplaced geomet- ric designs, arabesques or flowers, intermixed with sentences of the Koran.
 There is belief among the Mus sulmans that at the day of judg- ment Allah will demand that the artist who has made the image of living thing shall endow that image with life and that, failing to do this, the artist will be sent to perdition for his sin.
 A gentleman who visited the mosque in Algiers found that the tiles with which the building is decorated, which are very old and very beautiful, are adorned with flights of birds. He expressed sur prise at this and asked if the com- mand against such representation were a modern edict.
 "Oh, no," answered the pious AL gerian to whom he addressed the question. "These are not pictures of living birds."
 "But they are painted as if flying across the tiles," the other said in some astonishment.
 "Yes," the Mussulman replied, 'Fbut do you not see about the neck of each there is a fine black line? That is to show that the artist painted only dead birds, and the command of the Koran is not vio- lated."- ."-London Chronicle.

A FITTING ACCOMPLISHMENT.

It was fitting thing that Rob- ert Sheldon should pilot the first automobile to cross Alaska from the great Yukon waterway to the coast at Valdez. Sheldon is all Alaskan in every sense of the word. He came north as a boy and located at SkagWay, where he learned his trade as a me- chanical engineer and machinist. He has lived practically his whole life in the territory, and he was an early convert to the practicabillty of the automobile as a vehicle of commerce in the north. We made, in the little shop at Skagway, over which he pre- sided, the first automobile ever owned in the territory. At the time of making it he had never seen an automobile. Likewise,, j, the trip that he has just com pleted over the Fairbanks-Valdcz trail is the first one that he ever made over it. He is one of those men in whom the elementary con- ditions that exist in Alaska have developed originality and re- sourcefulness in a remarkable degree. We join those Valdez people who toasted him last night there's to "Bobby' Sheldon.-- Juneau Empire.
