s The yachting outlook 1b bright. ; Am.
'teur sailors everywhere are forming
their plans for the approaching inm-
i mer. and the large niimber of new
craft: now, being built Is ...an :nnnl
Cakable token that the seasoo will be
a notable one. .' ? A'-A'-'A.
Great Interest naturally attache to
the ninety, footers, the largest type of
,. gloop yacht, and speculation has been
' rife of lute o to the probable line of
peratlom they will pursue, Colum
bia la to be put in commission as early
as possible and will participate In
' cruises with the fleet of the New York
a Tacht club, after which she may go
, Abroad to compete against racing
yachts of various classes. -
Columbia seems absolutely certain of
making the foreign trip because of the
Jack of possible opponents over here.
While allowance will be made for her
abroad If she competes outside of ber
; own class, we are not accustomed on
. this aide to any such procedure. !? The
: only two yachts over here for Coluni
' Ha to race with on equal terms are.
Constitution and Shamrock IU the lat
ter being In the sheds at Erie basin,
' Brooklyn. ; But it Is not at all likely
that either of these beats will dip Its
keen nose Into the brine for another
, twelve months. The excessive cost of
maintenance will probably prevent Sir
Thomas Upton from putting bis sec
. ond challenger In commission to race
In these waters, and the August Bel
, mont syndicate for a like reason will
undoubtedly refrain from putting a
crew on Constitution. . , '
V Sir Thomas Upton Is willing to race
Shamrock I. against Columbia when
, the latter goes across the pond. And It
will be interesting to see haw the six
times winner fares In strange waters
ana against a boat she baa vanquished
on this ' side. American rules are to
govern the contests, and this is a sure
sign that the relations of English and
- American yachtsmen are exceedingly
friendly. Like the America's cup races,
the coming International sea duels will
serve to weld more closely the twe
, great nations concerned and will ut the
"same time provide healthy, inspiring
and exciting sport.

The committee on territories of the
bouse of representatives having voted
- unanimously in favor of bills granting
, statehood to Arizona, New Mexico and
, Oklahoma, there are likely to be three I
more stars in Old Glory when we cele-
: brate the next Fourth of July. '
In regard to Indian Territory the
; committee favors a bill giving it a reg-
; ular territorial government and chang
ing Its name to the territory of Jeffer
son. This will entail some changes of
an important character. It Is stated
. that the white elements within the In
dian Territory are already In the as
cendency, the last census reporting
- 02.000 whites to B2.000 Indians. The
work of the Dawes commission in pro
Tiding for the abolition of communal
' government among the , Indians and
the allotment of lands in severalty Is
reported to be nearly completed.
It would seem that Oklahoma, Art
sons, and New Mexico are in posses-
sion of the qualifications for statehood,
and their knock for admission at the
door of the Union ought not to go ion-
, ger unanswered. According to Secre
. tary Hitchcock's report last November,
the population of Oklahoma already
exceeds half a million and Is thrifty,
Well educated and in an unusual de
gree American in Its antecedents. The
population of Arizona is estimated In
the same report at a little over 100.000
whites and 20,000 Indians and that of
" New Mexico at nearly 300,000 whites
and 12,000 Indians. In Arizona the
whites are nearly all English speaking
Americans, but in New: Mexico the
Mexican element is still large. Secre
tary Hitchcock reported, however, that
the recent rapid growth of the terri
tory from almost exclusively American
sources and the good work of the pub
lic schools had reduced the percentage
of illiteracy from 44 in 1800 to little
over 20 In 1900. .
, It is stated that rresldent Roosevelt
wifl have the manuscript of a new
book ready for publication in the near
future. ' It is to be an exhaustive study
of the deer family, and its title is
"The Dear of North America." This
, seems to Wieate that the strenuous
duties of the chief executive do not
engross ail his time. So long as he
doesn't write a historical novel the
country will not object to the presi
dent's putting in some spare moments
on literature. '
There is something almost pathetic

Savings banks and other banking in
stltutlons may not always be absolute
ly safe, but experience has taught that
they are vastly safer than the tradl
flonal "old stocking" or other devices
which oversuspicloos persons are some
times wont to employ to secrete their
money. ' '
A case In point is a farmer who bails
from the interior of Pennsylvania. He
worried about the banks and was quite
upset by the stories he heard of occa
sional failures. Finally be drew out
his deposit, $000, and, taking it home,
covertly sewed all of it in the lining of
an extremely : dilapidated) coat Of
course be didn't tell his wife about this
hiding place; be was altogether too
shrewd for that And so along came
the inevitable junk dealer, and to biro
the wife sold the coat of the costly
lining for a five cent coin. Of course
there was a wild scene-wbea the se
cretive husband learned of the sale,
and the junk dealer was bunted op.
But be bad shipped the coat to Phila
delphia, and it was undoubtedly ground
to rags, bank bills and all. .
The case is not an exceptional one
and again illustrates the folly of those
peculiar persons who prefer to secrete
their money In out of the way places
rather than put it in the customary
depositories, '
One of the neatest arguments yet put
forward In favor of the metric system
of weights , and - measures is from
The Electrical World and Engineer.
There was a period In the history of
home when Arabic notation was un
known and Computation was conduct
ed with Roman numerals. "What must
have been the labor," remarks our con
temporary, "Involved In finding the
product of two such numbers as 305
and 24 when those numbers were ex
pressed as OCCLXV and XXIV re
spectively! The saving of labor to
the community effected by replacing
the Roman. by the Arabic numerals
must hove been enormous, and yet the
change met It is said, with vehement
opposition among professional com
puters."
Mrs. Astor, who Is the recognized
social arbiter of New York, says that
no man can be a gentleman unless he
possesses a college diploma. This Is
rather rough on poor old John Jacob
Astor. the fur peddler.
Again the pro-Boer American mule
is blamed (or British disaster. . But,
according to the stories of Methuen's
route, they were not as badly frighten
ed as the British cavalrymen.
No doubt after the supreme court
decided In favor of the Rio Grand
Dam company the losing litigant In the
action said the same thing down at the
tavern. ,,,',.,
By this 'time the Miss Stone bandits
have no doubt safely deposited their
wag and are ready for another busi
ness transaction in missionaries.
