If weather conditions of Z'dw presage anything, this proph be fulfilled. After four days !? almost calm weather, a rattling Sreeze blew in from the northeast Lit this morning and at sunrise it reached half a gale.

All has been done that skill and ex perience can suggest, and none of the principals will make a prophecy as to the outcome. Only the betting shows the trend of opinion and the prevail ine odds are' 10 to 8 on the American boat. In r some instances it was "re ported that late this evening these odds had been increased to 10 to 7, but io far as can be learned no. large wafers hare been laid. A firm of brokers was to day offering $25,000 or any part thereof, at 10 to 8, but had been unable to place more than a small part of this amount. Betting In Losdon. London, September 25. The bet ting in London shows how slim are regarfei! the chances of the Shamrock "liftine" the America's cup. There is guch difficulty to find takers that after fifty to forty was twice laid, the Co lumbia's admirers were obliged to raise the odds to 110 to 80.

The Pannisters and the Itidgeleys a:o. or wore, what might almost be called bosom ftionds. Mrs. Bannister's girl has often I'orrowed eggs and other things from Mrs. Ridgeley's cook. For three years those two excellent families have livM iJe by side without a quarrel. This -may be due to the fact that the Banisters have no children. Mrs. Ban nister can hear Mrs. Ridgeley praise her little D rothy and repeat the smart say ings of her little Percival without feeling" any jealousy whatever. Theirs has been an ideal friendship. Still "it is only a f Kendship, after all. There is always among them that 1 polite con straint which keeps people on their best behavior. It is not as if they were mem bers of one family. An.! so it came to pass when Mr. Ban nister h.il his beard removed that Mrs. RiJcel. -y was careful not to tll him what she really thought of his appearance. She, sssun-.l him that he looked young with a smooth face, but at home she declared that he was -"a perfect fright." "I 4Hr't see." she said to her husband, "why" A wife ever permitted him to have.it cut off. He surely must have had a leav'l l of ore they were married or she could fu ver have fallen in love with him. Really he looks like a scarecrow. I never knew that a. beard could make so much difference in a man's appearance," One evening two or three weeks later the I'.aimisters were sitting on the Ilid;;i kys' porch. They had talked about the weather and the war and other thin rs when little Tercival suddenly exclainujd: "Oh, mamma. Mr. Bannister's lettin; them grow again! Did yon notice it? He doesn't look like a fright or a scare crow any more, does he?" Mrs. Ridgeley's girl hasn't borrowed a thing out of the Bannister kitchen since. Chicago Times-Herald. Engine and Elephant. In certain parts of India railroad engi neers have many difficulties to encounter, some of them more amusing to. read about than-to experience. Of one such diffi culty an exchange tells the following story: . A freicht train was lumbering along when n big elephant came out of the woods ami undertook to butt the engine off the track. The engineer did not like to charge the brute, for fear of an upset, and several times reversed the engine in the vain hope that the elephant would take that as a sign of surrender and re-, tie. :. Finally the elephant backed into the cosine and. setting Its fore feet firmly between the rails, endeavored to push the train backward with its hind quar ters. Thi' eiiu'ineer promptly put on all team, t plcd the elephant over a small embankment. -and before it could recover its senses-the. train passed on. Would Sound Better.

SCHLEY INQUIRY AGAIN RESUMED. Two Ne Witnesses Introduced at Yesterday's Session of the Court, CAPTAINS COTTON AND WISE Testimony as to the Difficulty of Coallng Shlpsof the Flylog Squadron Span ish Ships and Their location. Dispatch Prom Sampson. " By Tele&rapa to the Hornlna star. Washington, aptTS. Two new witnessea were introduced in the Schley court to-day. They were Ad miral Cotton, who as captain com manded the auxiliary cruiser Harvard, and Captain Wise who commanded the auxiliary cruiser Yale during the Spanish war. Both these vessels were used as scouts and both came up with the flying squadron off Santiago on the 27th of May, before the retrograde movement to Key West was begun. Admiral Cotton testified that he had gone aboard Admiral Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn, on that date to take dispatches to him and he said at first that he gave him four, or five dis patches addressed to the commander of the squadron. He afterwards modified this statement, saying that probably all but two of these dis patches were addressed to himself (Admiral Cotton) but they had con tained information which he thought should be in Admiral Schley's posses sion. One of these was a copy of a dispatch from Admiral - Sampson, which had not been printed in the official records, stating that the Span ish fleet was at Santiago. He also said that coal could have been taken from the Merrimac on the 27th of May, the day on which the retrograde movement to Key West was . begun for the purpose of coaling. Capt Wise testified that on the 27th of May he had signaled Capt Philip of the Texas his opinion that Cervera was inside the harbor of Santiago, but the testimony was ruled out. The First Wftness. xne first witness called to-day was A. B. Claxton, the machinist on board the Texas, who had begun his testi mony when the proceedings of the court was so abruptly terminated yes terday. Mr. Claxton said, on July 3, 1898, he had been on duty in the engine room of the Texas. The engine indicator had called for full speed ahead early in the morning, which had, within an hour after the beginning of the action been changed to 'full speed astern.' To his knowledge there had been no signal for the reversal of the engines. He said that he had been excused from service in the engine room, but still he knew that the engines were reversed for about two minutes. Rear Admiral Cotton, now com mandant of the Norfolk navy yard, who commanded the auxiliary cruiser Harvard during the Spanish war, was the next witness. He said that on May 27th, 1898, he had delivered dispatches to Commodore Schley from Admiral Sampson and the Navy Department He bad, he said, boarded the Brooklyn about 10:30 o'clock. The weather was then moderate and he had no difficulty in going aboard the Brooklyn. "What was said about the dispatch?" Difficulty la Coaling. "I delivered to Commodore Schley the original cipher in which the dis patches bad been received by- me at St Nicholas Mole, together with the trans lation of those dispatches made by Lieutenant Beall, of the Harvard.- I banded them personally to him in his cabin in the order of their date. He received them, read them and com mented in a general way upon their purport; spoke of the difficulty be had bad in getting coal on ooara ms snips while at Cienf uegos and subsequently to the date to which I am speaking, Jlay 27th, and said it had been almost an impossibility to get coal on board on account of the weather. He ques tioned me relative to the practicability of coaling ships at St Nicholas Mole and Gonaives channel. As to St Nicholas Mole, I said: 'Tnere is no question the small ships can coal there. As to Gonaives channel, I know of no rea son why you should not be able to coal there.' (The commodore made some remarks upon my statements, the language of which I do not recall, but he asked me: 'How about the large ships at St Nicholas Molef I said: 'You can't coal your big ships there.' I had special reference in my reply to the battleships and protected cruisers of the Brooklyn and New York class. I said, thinking of the fact that my own ship had been there and was of some 12,000 tons displace ment and nearly 600 feet in length, 'possibly, under favorable conditions, you might be able to coal the large ahips there, one at a time,' but the area of deep water for the anchorage of large ships is so little there, it was not practicable to coal at tne very utmost more than one large ship at a time, and in case the weather became bad she would immediately have to go to sea. I was anxious while I was there with the Harvard on account of her size, and I would have left at once In rsM had weather had come on. As I remember I recollect no qualifica tion as to. Gonaives channel." Coold Have Coaled Where They Were. Admiral Cotton said in response to a question from Captain Lemly that vessels of the fleet could! iiave coaled where they were on the 27th at Borne time during that day, he said.. As in dicative of the condition of the sea he said he had used a cockle shell boat in going from the Harvard to the Brook lyn and had worn a white uniform. "Was anything said at this lime about going to Key West for coal!" . "Returning to what I said with reference to the difficulty which Com modore Schley stated to me he had had in getting coal on board of any of the ships at Cienfuegos, he said he was very anxious. The coal supply was getting short, the weather was bad and it had been bad almost continuously. It was a very serious problem as to bow or wnewer ub could possibly get coal on board ships off Santiago. He said if he found the weather did not improve and he found it impracticable to coal there he could only see one resort and that was be would be compelled to returned to Key West in order to supply his ships with coal. Having that question in view he was apprehensive especially as to one ship, the Texas. He did not even know at that moment whether ha had on board sufficient coal to enable her to return to Key West During my visit he gave an order to make signal, a general signal, Ml re member it, not limited to the flying squadron alone, to report whether the ships bad sufficient coal to reach Key West. The signal was made, or at least, I assume it was made. At all events during my presence with Com modore Schley he received a report to the effectthat "all the ships, including the Texas, had sufficient scoalTo re turn to Key West. . I think the Commodore Was Very Much Relieved 'when he received thjfc information. Rhortlv af terwaTdVshould say with in a few minutes, he directed a signal to be made preparatory -for the ships to return to Key West The order given in a general way. I cannot cive the words of the order, but what 1 have staled was their Durnort Whila 1 was still there he received a report t o the effect that the signals were read. Ucfore I left ship he ordered signals to be made for ships to form prepara tory for steaming to Key West Tb go back a bit I had informed Com modore Schley that it was utterly im possible for the Harvard to go any where except to Kingston. I had not sufficient coal to get to Key West and he verbally authorized me to pro ceed at once to Kingston to receive such amount of coal as l could get there sufficient to enable me to return to the nearest United States port I left the Brooklyn about noon, possibly a few minutes before. Immediately after my departure the Brooklyn com menced steaming ahead and I noticed that many of the ships at that moment under Commodore Schley's command were in motion, presumably prepara tory to taking their stations in steam ing order to return to Key West As soon as I returned to my ship, after my boat was hoisted, I steered to the southwest for Kingston." In response to further questions Admiral Cotton said that he had the original translations of the cipher dis Satches addressed to the Harvard. The ispatch of May 25th was then read to him as follows: Secretary Long's Dispatch. "Washington. May 25 ', 1898. Har vard, St Nicholas Mole, Hayti Pro ceed at once and inform Schley, and also the senior officer present off San tiago, as follows: - i"All the department's information indicates that the Spanish division is still at Santiago. The department looks to you to ascertain facts, and that the enemy, if therein, does not leave without a decisive action. Cubans familiar with Santiago say that there are landing places five or six nautical miles west from the mouth of the harbor, and that there insurgents probably will be found and not the Spanish. From the sur rounding heights they can see every vessel in port. As soon as ascer tained notify the department whether the enemy is there. Could not the squadron and also the Harvard coal from the Merrimac leeward off Cape Cruz, Gonaives channel or Mole, Hay tit The department will send coal immediately to Mole. Report withouti delay the situation at San tiago de Cuba. (Signed) "Long." Mr. Rayner called attention to the fact that there were some immaterial changes in the dispatches as' printed in the official report by the Navy De partment Admiral Schley's Reply. Admiral Schley's reply to these dis patches dated May 29th, in which he said he could not obey the orders of the department, was then read and Mr. Rayner pointed out various changes in the language of the dis patch as printed in the official report He addressed the court briefly con cerning these changes. Questioned by Lemly. . Judge Advocate Lemly then said: "After you delivered the order and prior to the dispatch which he deliv ered to you to be sent to Kingston, what efforts .did he make to locate Cervera's fleet to your knowledge?" "None to my knowledge.'' "Did he with his squadron at that time approach Santiago?" "He did not I will qualify that to this extent. The vessels of course were not at anchor; they were moving about and .there were no directions for movement toward the harbor of Santiago." "Referring to that phrase in the dis patch 'the department looks to you to ascertain the fact that the enemy if therein does not leave without a de cisive action,' what within your knowl edge, did Commodore Schley do in obedience to these instructions?" "Nothing to my knowledge." Judge Advocate Lemly then started to read dispatches received by Admiral Cotton from Admiral Schley delivered by the Scorpion. Admiral Sampson's Dispatch. Mr. Rayner objected to the reading of these dispatches . unless Admiral 8ampson's dispatch, number seven, to Admiral Schley should also be read as Schley's orders were based upon that At this point Captain Parker re marked that this dispatch would not be found, "To this remark Captain Lemly took exception, saying that it was out of place for counsel to make such comment Admiral Dewey sus tained the objection. The order of Admiral Sampson which is the letter known as the "Dear Schley" letter, was then read. Mr. Rayner was crossed examining Admiral Cotton regarding dates and delivery of dispatches when the court adjourned for luncheon. When the court reconvened after luncheon Mr. Rayner resumed his cross examination of Admiral Cotton. Capt. Wise's Testimony. At 3:25 Admiral Cotton was ex cused and Captain William O. Wise, who was in command of the auxiliary cruiser Yale, was called to the witness stand. He told of his reconnoitering about Santiago harbor on May 22d, previous to the arrival of the flying squadron. He said he had not been able to see anything of the Spanish fleet , Capt. Wise ftid that when on the 27th he approached the flying squadron twenty-one miles off Santiago, the fleet had started upon its retrograde movement He came up with the Texas and exchanged signals with Capt. Philip, telling him that he be lieved the Spanish squadron to be in side the harbor there. Mr. Rayner objected to this testi mony as a conversation between Cap tains Wise and Philip affecting Ad miral Schley. ! The court sustained Mr. Rayner's objection. By the court "Did you report to the senior officer present the informa tion upon which you based your be lief regarding the location of the Spanish fleet on that date." "As stated first I was intercepted by the order from Commodore Schley for the Vixen ' to take the Merrimac in tow. Captain Sigsbee of the St. Paul immediately went on board. The Brooklyn was a mile and a half ahead. I immediately went to the Merrimac and made preparations to take her in tow, and, so far as my communication with Commodore Schley no." The judge advocate at Admiral Dewey's instance invited attention to the dispatcn, as ionows: " Washington, D. C, May SO, 1898. Yale, care American Consul, Cape Haitien. Inform every vessel off San tiago de Cuba flying squadron is off Cienfuegos, and that orders have been sent to-day to proceed with all possible dispatch for Santiago de Cuba. 8igned) "Long." The court asks why that order was not carried out Captain Wise said in reply: "I informed the St. Paul, the Har vard and the Minneapolis and I noti fied Captain Philip of the same thing." The court then adjourned until eleven o'clock to-morrow, saying that it would hold only one session to-morrow and would take a recess in the afternoon in order to permit those connected with it to attend the funeral Of Judge Wilson, recent counsel for Admiral Schley. o Beanthtf Signature of STORZA. r The Kind Yob Haw Always WARM WIRELETS. - A certificate of incorporation of the "Escambia Oil Company of Pensacola, Fla.," to buy sell and lease oil rights for crude petroleum. canital tl.000.- 000, was filed yesterday at Dover, Del.

Mrs. Opie, the widow of the great portrait painter, whom some one has called the "Inspired peasant," never, even in her old age, lost her love of bright colors. A little girl, Emma Martin, afterward known In literature as Emma Marshall, visited her one day and experienced a rare pleasure. She says: On a screen in ber drawing room were hung a number of prisms, which "were suspended from chandeliers be fore the bell shaped globes came into fashion. I sat on a stool. at my moth er's feet, wondering what those long bits of glass could mean. Presently the brilliant rays of the western sunshine filled the room. "Now," said Mrs. Opie, "thou mayst run over to that screen and give it a shake." I did as I was bidden. "Be gentle," said my mother in a warning voice, but I gave the screen a vigorous shake. Emerald, ruby.and violet rays danced on, the walls and ceiling and delighted me so intensely that I kept repeating the process; then my mother, afraid 61 mischief resulting, came and drew me back to her side. Mrs. Opie looked at me and said: "If thou lovest bright colors, thee will never see anything more beautiful than the rainbow God sets In the sky." The Important Thine.

He had bolted for the pier when the warning whistle sounded for visitors to go ashore and obstinately refused to get on board till he and his grandmother were reunited. She bad.gpne "np town," he said, to bay him a bar to replace one that had bees blown overboard, and till she returned go on board the Werra he would not. Minutes were passing into the half hour, and the captain, becoming Impatient, gave orders that the baggage of the boy and his grandmother should be put ashore. It was found, however, that they were "first class" passengers and that their baggage .was extensive, and as un desirable, complications might .follow if it were unceremoniously dumped upon the pier and the boy left behind the order was recalled, and new advances were made to the affectionately obstinate youngster. Pleadings and commands were alike lost upon him, however. No, his grand mother had not deserted him. She would come back. He knew she would,vand till he saw her the Werra was not for him. So the Werra waited. The captain, from the quarter deck, viewed the lad with grim perplexity. The passengers, who crowded the rail, eagerly and in tensely Interested in the outcome, smiled upon . him with sympathetic approval, and the crew grinned at the humor of a situation- in which their autocratic com mander was powerless before the loving determination of a small boy. Meanwhile the grandmother had re turned and had entered the vessel unseen by the boy and unrecognized by the oth ers. She missed him, and in her eager search approached the gangplank and gazed toward the pier. The two saw each other instantly, and the grandmoth er, ignorant of the boy's reasons for leav ing the vessel and fearing she knew not what, knelt and extended her arms to ward him in a dumb entreaty that was needless, for a joyously exultant, "Oh, grandma, I knew you'd come!" was fol lowed by a swift rush of eager feet along the gangplank, and the yearning arms were happily filled. A tremendous cheer rang from decks and pier, and the Werra. released, went on her way. Youth s Companion. - Occasional Exception.

Siswi "the Gintleman TUavt Purs " . the Stint." "Yes," said Tom Delany,' "the wages are bettst now than they used to b. f'm getting 15 shillings a week now, and be fore it was only 10 shillings. I do be employed regularly for seven months. What do I do daring the winther? The best I can, faith. I do get an odd job at 1 shilling 6 pence a day repairing roads or stone breaking, and I have my own half acre at the back of the cottage there, which keeps me In praties and a little cabbage." "Have you got a pig?" I asked. ' "Bed ad, I have, and a fine wan, too," said Tom in delight, as if very proud of 4us possession. "Oome and see her." He brought me through a little gate way in the low wall which bordered his half acre allotment (a term, by the way, of which he did not know the meaning when I mentioned it), into a weir kept little garden growing cabbages and pota toes. In a piggery hi the garden I saw the pig "a fine fat wan inaade" grunt ing contentedly as she lay on her litter of straw. "Will yon kill her and eat her your self 7" I asked. "Oh, faith, no!" he said laughingly. "She'll go to the market at Kilmacthom as this day week, plase God, and I hope to get 5 or 6 pound for her, which will pay me rint and help bring me over the winther." - Of course, if I were an English tourist I would have expected to find the pig taking his ease in the coziest corner by the kitchen fire, "enjoyin," as the peas ant once said, "all the inconveniences- ; that an animal can aspire to." ' The pig is known as "the gintiemaa that pays .the rint" it was, by the way, William Carleton who first gave expression to the saying in one of his stories and whila the statement is not true as regards Irish agriculturists generally, for it is horned cattle, sheep and horses that pay most of the rents in Ireland, the pig has al ways played a very important part in the social economy of the small farmer and the agricultural laborer. Even their proverbs make that clear. "You're on the pig's back" means prosperity; "The pig is on your back" indicates misfor tune. Nineteenth Century.
