MARK TWAIN'S
 FIRST LECTURE

It was just half a century ago to- day, on Oct. 2, 1866, that Mark Twain first faced an audience to deliver lecture. MT. Clemens had spent some weeks as a newspaper correspondent in the Sandwich Island, and upon ms return to San Francisco his friends urged him to deliver a lecture dealing with his experiences and observations. Young Mark yielded to their sollclta- tions, hired a hall, and issued an an nouncement which concluded: A splendid orchestra is in town, but has rot been engaged. Also den or ferocious wild beasts will be on eX- hibition in the next block. A grand torch-lgiht procession may be expect ed: In fact, the public are privileged to expect whatever they please. Doors open at o'clock. The trouble to begin at 8 o'clock" As the fateful hour approached the humorist grew more and more Respondent about his venture, and when he went to the nall he expected to find it empty. 1n- stead it was packed full of people. For an instant Mark was afflicted with stage fright, and he was unable to say a word. Then the audience broke out into a roar of welcome, and the lecturer recovered his poise. His lecture that night was the first of many, but it is doubtful if he ever scored quite so complete a triumph as on that night of his debut as a public speaker.

are craft thus sums up the matter:

ure craft thus sums up the matter:
 Without doubt the Cleopatra's Barge was admirably adapted for such a purpose and just as surely was George Crowninshield, Democrat in politics and an ardent admirer of the Emperor. of the type and tempera- ment for such an undertaking. More over, there are these suspicious cir cumstances connected with it: The wis., it to Elba; the meeting with Napo- Icons suite, and the letters and pack ages by them intrusted to his care; the fact that after touching Elba no letters were written from the yacht; the visit of Civita Vecchia; the journey to Rome and the reception there by the Bonapartes; the strict watch kept on the yacht by the guardship; the or ders from the owner to have the ves- sel in readiness to sail fifteen minutes after he should arrive on board; her pursuit by the guardship when she finally did sail, and the fact that she took away with her from Civita Vec- chia four French officers"
 If Crowninshield had really planned an attempt to rescue Napoleon, he kept his secret closely, and died with 1t locked in his breast.

PROCRESSIVES :. OF ". VA. WILL HELP WILSON
State Committee Refuses to Become Annex to Repub-
 lican Party.

Parkersburg. w. Va, Oct. 2.-Fol. lowing the recent action of the West Virginia Progressive State Committee in refusing to become a political an- nex of the Republican party. there has developed among Progressive leaders a practically unanimous sen- timent to support President Wilson.
 In an address to the voters of this state the Progressive State Committee has declared: "The organization of the Progressive party should remain permanent organization, Indepen- dent and free from utilization with any other political party We leave how each individual Progressive shall vote and conduct himself in this campaign to his discretion as his coa- science may dictate.'
 The attitude of the Progressive party here has opened the eyes of MT. Hughes campaign managers in this state to the marked Wilson sentiment among independent voters. or the Progressives who were present at the meeting of the State Committee or who had embodied their views in let- ters to the committee only two out of 45 expressed a preference for the election of MT. Hughes. On the other hand, many were outspoken in their praise of the Administration.
 It is predicted that President Will son, as we'll as the Democratic state solid vote of West Virginia Progress sives. The determination of the Pre- Rressive party here to continue as an independent organization is further emphasized by the fact that a meet- ing has been called for the last Tues- dar of November to reorganize tho party and establish permanent Pro- gressive league.

THE ROMANTIC HISTORY OF
 AMERICA'S FIRST YACHT

This October marks the centennial of the launching of Americas first sea- going yacht, one of the most palatial vessels of it's kind ever built up to that time. The construction of sailing craft for racing and cruising for pleas ire was unknown on this side of the Atlantic up to 1916, when George Crowninshield launched the Car of Concordia at Salem, Mass. The name of the yacht was almost immediately changed to Cleopatra's Barge. While she was ostensibly a pleasure craft pure and simple, and was fitted up in a luxurious stiyle which was the mar vel of the seagoing population of Sa- lem, it was believed-and is still be- lieved by many-that George Growth shield had another and in view than a mere pleasure cruise. That purpose was to rescue Napoleon from his cap tivity at St. Helena and transport him to the United States.
 George Crowinshield, the man to whom was attributed this ambitious scheme, came of family of shipping merchants of Salem. In those days the Massachusetts port was one of the busiest in the world, and from it sail ed vessels which carried the American flag to all parts of the world. The Crowninshields were the most famous and the weaithiest of the shipping firms of Salem. One of the family, Ja- cob, was appointed secretary of the navy by Jefferson in 1908, but resigned because of ill health. His brother Benjamin William Crowninshield was made secretary of the navy by Presi- dent Madison in 1914, and continued to hold the portfolio under Monroe, re- signing in 1918. A third brother 1916 to construct in Salem the most magnificent pleasure craft afloat, and sail in her to all the principal ports of Europe. His decision to do this was reached shortly after Napoleon had been sent to the barren rock of St. Helena, and those who knew Capt George Crowninshield's passionate ad- miration for the deposed Emperor inn
 nediately put two and two together
 George Crowninshield had sailed to all parts of the world in merchant ships, and he knew navigation from A to z and from fOrecast1e to quarter deck. His first experience as a yachts man had been in the twenty-foot slooI Jefferson, the first craft built eXclu- sively for pleasure America had evel had.
 The keel of his great seagoing yachr was laid at Salem in the summer ol i1S16. Her owner superintended hel Aconstruction from start to fipish. Th'
