DUNCAN CVICRY THINKS WELL OF UPTON'S NEW SHAMROCK \L-rs State Happenings Succinctly Told by Our Special Correspondents BOILING WATER BURNS TWO MEN ' "Writing in the Chicago American,- Jfoncan Curry, the yachting expert^ .•fays: ' £• Sir Thomas Lipton's new challenge* tor the America cup, Shamrock IH. the hope of Britain and the apple or Designer Fife's eye, was dry docked -at the Erie basin June 10. For the Urst time her graceful hull and pow­ erful lines were revealed to American yachtsmen in all their strength and beauty. The new challenger made a favor able impression to everyone, and the more you look at her the more certain becomes the conviction that she is go­ ing to be a hard boat to beat under -any and almost all conditions. When the waters of Gowanus Bay ftlll away from her snow white enam­ eled steel hull, it was as though some* one had pulled a dirty brown curtain in an art gallery and revealed some •ancient Grecian marble statue. As the -dock slowly emptied its foul water through the sluiceways, exposing her beautiful lines to view, there was a general murmur of admiration, and. i-as one designer put it, "she is a won- / derfully modeled boat of absolutely fair lines and beautifully finished." This does not mean that the cup is lost by any means, but that our yachtsmen will haVe to be up and doing to beat this new challenger is certain; and if the Reliance can beat this boat very much in going to wind- ward, the writer and several other people will be surprised. But to get back to the boat. Shamrock III is a beautiful creation and is well put together. She shows beautiful deck lines, looking from her taffrail forward. She has a nice sheer 4Dd a Mew of her sheer plan would probably bear a strong resemblance to that of Shamrock II, although her lateral plane has not been cut away so much. Her lateral plane appears to be cut away to about the same ex- Missouri's Oldest Inhabitant. Mrs. Sarah. Snook of St. Joseph is Missouri's oldest inhabitant. She is 103 years old. She eats pie, ice cream snd other things; walks a mile every 4ay for exercise; can see as far and read as well without glasses as many jpoung people and rememberf well taany great characters of this coun­ try almost a century ago. She cele­ brated the 103d anniversary of her birth at the home of her daughter, : Mrs. Agnes Jacquay. Mrs. Snook is a ~ native of Louisville, Ky., and spent * many years of her life in Kansas. L Society Woman Shows Courage. Harvest hands on the ffcrm of Col. - Charles L. Daugherty, near Bowling (i <3reen, Ky., went on strike a few days " ago, demanding an increase in pay. The Colonel was away from home, but Mrs. Daugherty, a club and society •Woman, refused to raise wages. Near­ ly all of the farm hands left, where­ upon Mrs. Daugherty mounted the lender and aided by a few men who remained, cut twenty acres of wheat before a new force could be secured. Good Men Among Asiatic* Rev. Dr. Arthur J. Brown, secretary C the Presbyterian foreign missions, r-.: y»ya that the five men who impressed fcim most profoundly on his recent |ourney around the world were all Asiatics: Chatteyee of India, Yuan Shih Kai, then governor of the prov- itjice of Shantum, China, and now the Successor of Li Hung Chang as viceroy Chee-Lee; Kataoka, the president of jgie lower house in Japan; Chaolaleng- Ito the King of Siam, and last, but not feast, a subject of thlt king, Boon Boon.

Nothing ®eems too bulky, nothing too heavy for fclm to carry, and it is wonderful how he manages not only to lift, but to bai­ lee his cumbersome loads. tent Wthe Reliance's, but Its area ft greater. The beam of the challenger is much farther forward than in Shamrock I, and her run has been carried out to a wider taffrail than was shown in Shamrock H. She has a well-turned bow, fairly sharp, although there is an'outward curve all the way down. Her en­ trance must be good and she is not likely to be stopped up by a head sea in a light air. This curving of her sides is carried clear to the end of the counter. Her bilges are very easy and at the midship section the curve seems very moderate. The depth to the rabbet is greater than in any challenger since Valkyrie III, giving considerable more dead rise than might be expected in a modern cup challenger. With this quick rise there is flatness of floor, a soft curve being carried to the turn of the bilge. In all she is a yacht to be greatly ad­ mired, even more so, perhaps than our modern American racers, with their bodies constantly approaching the out- and-out scow form, Has Seen Good Work Spread. Richard C. Morse, for thirty-three years general secretary of the inter­ national committee of the Young Men's Christian association, one of the first members of the world's cen­ tral committee and a member of the committee of the World's Student fed­ eration, has completed a tour around the world in which he has visited the associations which have tgrown up un­ der bis eye and care until they now number 6.500 organizations, with 600,- 000 members. In the 182 days Mr. Morse traveled 83,000 miles. A Question for Humorists. Robert J. Burdette was discussing; the new organizations of American Press Humorists with a friend at his home in Pasadena recently. "I told them," he said, "that there were only seven original jokes instead of thir­ teen, and oile of the crowd asked me who wrote the seven. And do you know," he said In his quietly humor­ ous fashion, "to save my life I couldn't remember who it was who wrote the Other two!"--New York Times. Knocked Out by GIH Athlete* Miss Mary McEntee, a society gill of Morristown, N. J., drove out a day or two ago in quest of a servant A drunken fellow named Tierney at­ tempted- to get into her carriage, and Miss McEntee warned him to desist. The man refused to go away, but in­ stead tore the sleeve of the girl's dress and wrecked ber new hat. This was too much. Miss McEntee, who is an athletic young person, promptly hit him on the head with the butt end of her whip. Tierpey fell like a log, and was in jail before he recovered. Later he was fined $10 for disorderly eon- duct Fall lnto^£ngine Pit at Alton and Are ^ Severely Injured. Nicholas Schwab of Alton was dan­ gerously burned by falling into a pit full of boiling water in the engine room of the Stanard Milling company. The pit is occupied by a big condens­ ing engine, and during the flood was filled*with water. In order to get the pumps into operation to drain the pit the engine was filled with steam and this heated to the boiling point. Schwab stumbled into the pit, but in falling managed to catch hold of the side and clung there until he could gather strength to draw himself out of the hot water. A surgeon was sum­ moned and it was found that the skin j was burned off Schwab from his waist down. It is believed that he will re­ cover. The chief engineer of the Standard milling company met with a similar accident. He stepped into another hole near the main engine room and was scalded on.

In the case of Mary Tindall of De Kalb county, who bequeathed to John Alexander Dowie real estate and prom­ issory notes aggregating $3,000, the Supreme court at Springfield sustained the decision of the lower court that Mrs. Tindall was mentally unqualified to make a will and that she was un­ der the influence of Dowie when she made the will in question. In the case of the people against the Law and Order club of Sparta the de­ cision of the Randolph circuit court was reversed. The case was one in which the state's attorney of Ran­ dolph county filed a quo warranto pro­ ceedings against the Law and Order club to show cause why its charter should not be revoked because liquor was sold there to its members. The supreme court, in reversing the deci­ sion of the lower court, holds that it la illegal for any club or corporation to sell liquor to its members, even though sold without profit, unless the club or corporation has taken out a license to cell such liquor. Judge Guy C. Scott of Aledo, who de­ feated Judge Joseph N. Carter for judge of the Supreme court in the new fourth supreme judicial district, sat in Judge Carter's place in the Su­ preme court, Judge Carter having re­ turned home and Judge Scott being sworn in. Members of the court stated that they thought that Judge Carter has not the slightest intention of con­ testing the election of Judge Scott, as he assisted'the new judge in several matters that were necessary for him to learn in order to obtain dn insight into the work of the court, a&dhas not even hinted at a contest; ; JL/tDEO/aBQU/ was born in Aurora, where he became quite prominent in politics.

The case has been trans­ ferred to Cynthiana for second trial. The scene after the announcement of the disagreement was in no wise exciting. Some started to clap hands, but were stopped by the court. The guards took immediate possession of the prisoners and they were closely guarded back to the jail. People gath­ ered around the courthouse in knots discussing the case, but there was no disturbance nor outward sign of trou­ ble. Jett and White are to be watched closely to prevent any sort of com­ munication. Attorney Byrd, after a consultation, made a motion for a change of venue. Judge Redwine refused to hear argu­ ments, but of his own accord changed the venue to Cynthiana, Harrison county, at the next term of court. He surprised the spectators by at once or­ dering the prisoners sent to Lexington under a detachment of soldiers and ac­ companied by Elisor Jones. They at once left Jackson and were placed in Lexington jail for safe keeping. It Is stated from a semi-official source that the jury stood eleven for eonviction and one tor acquittal-and t^PT. B. J.

Chaffee has lived since 1849 in a small Tuo­ lumne county mining camp with his partner. Chamberlain. In the early days he saved Chamberlain from the vigilance committee by a plea to Judge Lynch when the vigilantes had a rope around the victim's throat. It was the only case on record In the county where the vigilantes gave way in such a case. Chamberlain was accused of stealing the miners' gold, but Chaffee cleared him, as everyone believed Chaffee. The two men then settled down to live where they have re­ mained ever since, washing enough placer gold to» maintain them. Both are over 80. Politicians and Children. When Senator Arthur Pue Gorman was at the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, just before sailing for Europe recently, a newspaper man, presuming upon long acquaintance, pressed the political 6phinx insistently for an in­ terview.

He told the lady to go and presumed she would obey. Finding in a few days she was still in posses­ sion, he sent his men to turn her out: She refused to go and she said no one had told her. "Oh, yes," replied a sergeant, "the general told you him­ self." Then came madam's silencing retort: "You don't mean to say that little red-faced man was the general^' Well-Known Hotel Man Dead.
