A MASTER STROKE.
The ripping, roaring, raging,
rushing, rumbling, tumbling,
tearing Turtle river has now, by
the churning eloquence of the dis
tinguished Congressman Buck
man, become a navigable water
.jpourse. This master stroke of
Congressman Buckman will be
highly appreciated by the worthy
settlers along the course of that
charming stream. As they
iloat along over the limpid,
gurgling waters with their "wit
nesses, for obtaining final proof
on their claims, skillfully dodging
the steam and sailing craft which
will now be built to ply up and
down the "river," they will fall
upon their knees and humbly
pray that the Divine blessing be
bestowed upon the illustrious
Congressman Buckman.
The only difficulty heretofore
existing to prevent a large traffic
upon this wilderness stream has
been that during a considerable
portion of the year, from Jan
uary first to December 31st, the
volume of its waters has made it
impossible to successfully float
shingles down its crystal bosom.
But now, by the grace of God
and the imagination and asser
tion of Congressman Buckman,
this difficulty has oeen overcome
and the Turtle has become a
navigable water course.
NO EXCUSE.
Apropos of the paper recently
read before the American For
estry convention by EL H. Chap
man of Grand Rapids, and of the
comments made on it by the
state press, the Eveleth Mining
News says:
"Admitting that farmers in
Minnesota who have sandy lands
may produce valuable crops and
be a benefit to the community, it
remains an act of wisdom to set
aside the best pine producing
tracts for a perpetual yield of
timber and because of the con
serving action of forests upon
underground water."
This may be true, but it doj
not in the least excuse Mr.
Chapman for deliveri ng a direct
untruth as to the agricultural
possibilities of the sandy land s,
and by so doing injuring the
prospects of a large porti on of
Northern Minnesota outside the
reserve.
A BOY entered a Superior meat
store Monday morning and
drawing a revolver from his
pocket, shot and killed C. Gil
bert. A newspaper account of
the tragedy says: "Not a word
was spoken until Albertson (th
proprietor) cried 'murder!' and
made a call for the sausage man
to take cure of, Gilbert." The
dispositi on made of the body by
the suusagomaker is left to be
inferred.

IS ANOTHER PLLKC
RACE DECLARED OFF BECAUSE
BOATS FAIL TO FINISH
IN TIME.
RELIANCE SHOWS HER SPEED
FULLY TWO AND A HALF MILES
AHEAD OF SHAMROCK AT
TH E FINISH.
ULTIMATE TRIUMPH OF THE DE-
FENDER ACKNOWLEDGED
ON ALL SIDES.
New York, Sept. 2Again the beau
ful cup defender Reliance failed to
egister her third victory over Lip
ton's challenger because the wind
died to nothing and the time limit of
five and a "half hours expired before
she could reach the finish line. Her
margin was approximately the same
as on Thursday last. She was less
than half a mile from the finish when
the gun sounded. Shamrock III. was
a faint blur on the horizon, fully two
and a half miles astern. Reliance's
failure to score the race was the more
exasperating because her ultimate
triumph is now conceded, even by Sir
Thomas himself, to be simply a
formality. The superiority of the
Herreshoff boat in any kind of weatti
er is acknowledged by the yachting
critics of both sides of fie Atlantic,
and yesterday's fluke only prolongs
the agony of the contest that has al
ready been decided.
The waning interest In the cup
races was strikingly illustrated by the
size of the observation fleet, if the
ships which went down to the ocean
race course yesterday could be dig
nified by such a title. Outside of the
revenue cutters, which patrolled the
course, It consisted of half a dozen
side-wheelers with almost empty
deck's, a few seagoing tugs and a
score of steam yachts.
Wringe's Slick Work.
The race was spiritless from the be
ginning. It was laid fifteen miles to
windward up the Long Island shore
and return. Its spring feature was
the start, in which Capt. Wringe, by a
pretty piece of maneuvering, nearly
turned the tables on the Yankee
skipper and captured the windward
berth. Even so, the yachts crossed
the line abreast like a harnessed
team of horses.
But within fifteen minutes the de
fender was showing her heels to the
challenger and when the float at the
outer mark was reached she rounded
it twenty minutes and twenty-three
seconds ahead of her rival. In the
five times the boats have met this
was by far the worst beating Sham
rock III. has had in windward work.
The only interest whic^ remain-td
after that was as to whether Reliance
would be able to reach the finish line
in time to score the race.
The regatta committee of the New
York Yacht club announced last night
that the yachts would race again to
day
POPE FOR THE KINGS.
Would Bring About Better Under
standing Between Church and State.
Rome, Sept. 2.The pope has made
a recommendation to the Venetian
bishops that they show cordiality to
the military authorities during the
Italian army maneuvers and that spe
cial deference be shown to the king.
Such instructions from the Vatican
are very unusual and they reveal the
pope's intention to bring about a bet
ter understanding between the church
and state. It is learned that a con
sistory will be held about the middle
of September.
EDWARD IN VIENNA.

WINTER IN EXTREME SOUTH.
Frightful Cold Experienced in the Ant
artic Circle.
A sailor on the a::ta~ctic ship Dis
covery, whose commander, Capt. Scott,
has approached nearer the south pole
than any other explorer, writes as fol
lows of his winter experiences: "We
had 123 days without the sun, and 104
day's complete darkness. We went
through it all gay. Lowest tempera
I ture registered, 58 degrees below zero.
You do not feei the cold very much
I without tne wind then, \tith wind,
i look out! First your nose, then ears,
i then fingers go. We never go out
I alone on account of the heavy bliz
1 zards. Your companion -will turn
1 round and say: 'Your nose is gone.'
I It turns as white as this -paper. You
I turn away from the wind and pull your
mittens off to bring your nose around
by that time your fingers are gone,
so it's no pleasure going out in a
slight breeze. The blizzards are fear
ful. Mr. Bernacchi and the engineer
went to a hut fifty yards away, and,
though roped from hut to ship, were
lost in a blizzard for two and three
quarter hours."
HAIRY AINOS OF JAPAN.
Peculiar People Whose Characters Be
lie Their Looks.
A traveler in Japan thus describes
the bairv Ainos ohat country- "Tho
.en are about the middle height,
road chested, broad shouldered, thick
et, very strongly built, the arms and
set large. The bodies and especially
he limbs of many are covered with
"ort, bristly hair. I have seen two I
'oys whose backs aie covered with fur
is fine and soft as that of a cat. We
were ferried over a river by an Aino
completely covered with hair, which
in his shoulders was wavy like that of
a retriever and rendered clothing quite
needless, either for covering or .for
warmth. A wavy black beard rippled I
nearly to his waist over his furry i
chest, and with his black locks hang
ing in masses over his shoulders he
would have looked a thorough savage
had it not been for the exceeding
sweetness of his smile and eyes."
wiany Favor Universal Language.
"Esperanto," an artificial language
made by Dr. L. Zamenhof for a uni
versal language, has gained 80,000 ad
herents, among them members of the
trench Institute, professors in conti
nental universities, Count Tolstoi and
W. T. Stead. Its object, as stated by
a writer in Le Monde Moderne, Paris?
is: "To furnish people who need to
communicate with foreignerstravel
ers, scientists and business menthe
way to a mutual understanding with
out necessity of resorting to the study
of many foreign languages."
Where to Apply.
"Dear Miss Scrubbins," wrote the
wise mother to her son's teacher, "if
you want an excuse for Willie's ab
sence from school, ask him for one.
He's the best boy for excuses that
lives. He gives them to me a dozen
times a day. He can give an excuse
for anything that happens, whether
it's a rip in his trousers or a Sght with
a neighbor oy. As long as you have
him in yov- room, I do not see why it
should be r^eessary to apply to me
for an excuse at all."
Much Red Tape Over a Cent.
The postmaster at Eloise, Fla., being
short one cent in his cash at his last
settlement with the government, made
up the deficiency out of his own pock
jet but in checking his accounts the
i auditor for the postoffice department
found an arithmetical error whereby
Uncle Sam had been overpaid to the
extent of a cent. Thereupon the de
partment sent the postmaster a draft
for one cent, which he has just re-
ceived.

The Traveled Widow.
I The Sunday scnool superintendent
was quizzing a class of small girls the
other day. "And what was 'the widow's
cruse?' he asked. There was a mo-
ment's silence then a little hand went
up timidly. "Please, sir," said the
i youngster, "the widow was one of the
people that went with Noah in his
yacht."
She Got Ahead of Him.
Sally GayDid he kiss you?" Dolly
SwiftYes, but, ok! 1 vas so morti
fied. I kissed him first. Sally Gay
Goodness! What made you do that?
Dolly SwiftWhy, you see, I thought
he was going to kiss me a moment or
two bdfore he really did, and I acci
isntaily got ahead of him.
