Refitting New Yacht In Erie
Basin.
BIG MAST PUT IX roSHIOJ.

of Her Hall Novel Features
of Llpton Hunt.
NEW YORK, A uc. 14-Work went
o admirably In the Krle basin yesterday
far ait the fitliug nut of tlio Shamrock
II wm concerned. Early in (hp rooming
the gear which was utilized in the towing
f the yacht over the ocean wns sent
shore. At the snnie time the fore and
ft rigging nml Dip shroud arid back
Uys that held in position the sturdy
lover ninst and the stump topmast were
rat down. In a little while the Jury
Hast was ripped out of her, the thick and
unwieldy spar opposing little, or no ob
tide to the machinery of the derrick
The spar was hoisted out of the chal
lenger In almost ninglc time. It wns
dragged out of the niiiRt step and landed
Mfe and snug on the dock in a few
minute. The yacht without her mast
looked ax helpless ax a Hamnnn. A large
crowd gnlhcred. Smile of its constituents
were ao curiously impressed that they
sought to make rude and crude measure
ments of the mast.
The combination lower mast and top
mast, which is the first of its kind to lie
used in a racinir yacht, has caused much
admiration anions yachtsmen. There
were only two occasions in the history of
Die battles for the America's cup when it
became necessary to clew up nnd haul
down topsails and eventually to house
topmasts. Thus, while the Constitution
nd Columbia are each provided with a
telescopic topmast that is supposed to
eome down deckward with more or less
alacrity, the lower mast and the topmast
on each of the above mentioned craft are
always subjected to unusual stress and
strain aloft. For instance, if n preventer
backstay parts the sudden jerk" might im
peril the lower mast. The spreaders in
tha cup tlefenders, it Is said, seem to be
depended on too much. Wheu one spread
er breaks, the mast goes over the side.
By auch n contingency the America's cup
iray be either won or lost. The com
bined mast of the Shnmrock II is con
structed ns nearly us possible after the
model or design of the bamboo ao far as
that design could be carried out In Imita
tion of nature.
The hollow spars were ready for ship
ment yesterday afternoon, nnd the (neat
derrick Century, like a giant handling a
toothpick, lauded the enormous mast of
the Shamrock on dry land. Then a crew
of riggers, aided by a gang from the
yacht, lent a hand. First the stout
spreaders of teak and steel were placed
it position. Next the steel wire stays
that support the mast fore nnd aft and
athwartsblps were got over the mast
head. All this took time and trouble.
The derrick answered to every signal.
The massive mast slung about amidships
by a heavy purchase was so controlled by
guys and braces that its heel was com
pelled to seek Its step with commendable
promptitude. It was a sen manlike Job,
reflecting credit on nil concerned. By 5
o'clock the mast was in poi;tb;n and was
steadied temporarily by shrouds and fore
and aft stays. When the mast is com
pletely stayed, the Shnmrock will take
the place of Kir Thomas Upton's steam
yacht Erin in drydock and will have her
hull scraped for the numerous impending
trials.
The crew of the Shnmrock slept last
light aboard the big and handsome tcn
.ler Torto Kico. They ure ambitious, and
willing. All hands aboard the Shamrock
11 and the flotilla that exploits the green
-lag are confident of victory.

ROMANCE OF A BANK BOOK.
Btorr of a Savins; Account That Had
Lain Dormant for Man?
Years.
The Bank for Savin, which Is 82
fears old, has the heaviest dormant ac
count in New York, about $:i00,000, in
which 2,000 accounts are tied up, re
ports the Press, of thatcity. Of these
, the ownership of about 200 are solved
each year, and to this nccount are
added about 50, which, after the lapse
of 21 years without being1 touched, are
entitled to cuter the dormant class.
But in the$e days the bank does not
allow account, to rest so lonjr. nnd
after ten years have elapsed a search
is made and the depositors located.
After that the bank keeps informed
of their whereabouts each year. In
1S10, the year when the bank first
opened its doors, a church mission in
New York made a deposit in the name
of "Mission of Jerusalem," The a mount
deposited was small, but it wns 01
years before thai nmounf and interest
was paid to the proper church author
ities. "One of the oddest cases which I
have seen since I took hold of this
work." says Mr. I)e I.isscr, of the Bank
for Saving's, "was that, of a colored
pi rl who lived four miles from Ja
maica. The pastor of the family while
making a call one day saw the children
playinjr witli a roiled and torn bank
book. They had scribbled over the
leaves and were tossing" the book
about. No one In the family seemed to
understand what the book was, and
1 he pastor looking at it nnd seeing"
that it was one of our pns Imoks,
advised them to brlnjy it to the bank.
The pirl, who was 17 or 18 years old,
brought it to me, and on looking" up
the account T saw that it called for sev
eral hundred dollars, deposited by a
woman who afterward proved to be
the piii's grandmother. Eventually
the pirl gnt the money, and the inci
dent, I thought, was closed. But sev
eral months afterward she came in
and snid: 'I was just poin' by, and I
thought I'd drop in and tell yon how
much pood that money did us. And,
say. do you know. I've just been mar
ried on it.' And she left, beaming" all
over as T congratulated her."
COST OF A ROYAL KITCHEN.
The Immense Snms That Are Spent
by the llrltlnh Sovereign
Every Year,
It is said that TCinp Edward' of Great
Britain proposes to economize a little
in his household expenses and will
make a raid upon the costly royal
kitchens in his palaces, says n London
exchange. The one at Windsor is by
no means the most costly. Neverthe
less it contains nearly $10,000 worth
of copper and $35,000 worjh of silver
and silver-plated utensils. Georpe
III. expended $:10,000 upon the fittinps,
which are mostly of black oak, and
apart from their historical interest
have preatly decreased in rahie.
Soon after his accession to the
throne the czar laid out $400,000 in re
modeling and furnishing" the imperial
kitchens at the winter palaces, St.
Petersburp. All the cooking: utensils
are of solid silver, and include 40 stew
inp pans, none of which could be pur
chased under $200 apiece,
The spice boxes are of solid gold, en
graved with the imperial arms, and the
ranges and ovens are edged with sil
ver. The actual cost of building the
kitchen was $120,000, the purest black
marble being used throughout, and
the decorations were responsible for
an out la j- of $25,000.
Among the cooking utensils should
be mentioned 3,000 silver spoons and a
gold gridiron that belonged to the
great Catherine. The chief cook
draws a salary of $40,000 a year, and
he has subordinates in receipt of sal
aries ranging between $5,000 and
$7.S00, to say nothing of hundreds
of supernumeraries. Altogether the
czar's kitchen expends about $000,000
per annum.
HARSH-VOICED CANARIES.
They Are Xot Allowed liy German Ex
perts to Stay with the More
Promlslnir Sinners.
"Moulting is the crucial time for a
canary's voice," writes Ida Rhoper
Hoxie in nn article on "The Singing
Village of Germany," in Ladies Home
Jornnl. "Some birds lose the little
that they have; others, of course, blos
som out into promising singers. As
soon as n barsli tone is heard, out goes
that unfortunate bird, for promising
singers must never hear n harsh chirp.
When I asked what, became of the un
fortunates I whs told by the fanciers;
Oh, we sell them, of course. You
know they can King in a wny, nnd
many people don't know the' differ
ence between a pood singer and a bud
one.' My mind went back to a certain
canary I had had to live with once in
America! I wondered what percen
tage of these outcasts, .who ure hud
dled together in n cage out of bearing
of the more favored birds and allowed
to chirp as they please, go to America.
One of the men who devotes all his
time to the canaries allowed me to
fcpentl several hours among his birds.
I until long while t rying to unnlyze the
exquisite sounds that came from a
dozen tiny cages wiUi closed fronts
bunging high on the wall. 1 could have
gone to sleep hud I chosen -the trill
ing was so Boft nnd sweet, not nt ail
like the songs of the lusty-throated
American birds."

THE COLUMBIAN.
THE MODERN MOSES.
That Is (ho Name Given by Many
to Theodore Herzl.
Ten I'lctnre of the I. en iter of Zionism,
in Whose Vision Is l'.ver Present
the Immortal Image of
Isrnel a Nation.
A year ago, while I was drinking
afternoon tea in a London drawing
room, there entered n tall, lithe man,
with eon! black hair, beard nnd mus
taches, restless, visionary eyes, and
n nervous mouth, twitching with half
nnd humor. I did not know him,
but he magnetized me immediately.
I intuitively divined the intensity of
his personal force, the rich radiance
of his character, the passionate idio
syncrasy of his soul, says a writer iu
the London Star.
At that time Zionism was a men
shibboleth to me, one of the husk!
Ilia tire blown about the social and
political highways. But, the moment
I saw this modern Moses, this prac
tical prophet, Zionism became a vivid
reality. For I recognized in him at
once one of those apostles who work
mirncles by t lie power of their will
nnd the empire of their egotism. At
that time Iicrzl could not spenk a
word of Knglisii. Affer n few com
monplaces be drifted away again, leav
ing mi' profoundly interested in his
romantic genius. He had done noth
ing, said nothing, but he had been
himself. Now, the man who can be
himself in a drawing-room is rare.
And this man's pelf was so bizarre,
so disturbing, so strange, that I
caught myself wondering nt its per
sistence in my mind.
Well, the othrr day I met Herzl
ngain in another drawing-room the
drawing-room of the Hotel Cecil.
Here it was I who drifted in, and the
first thing that disentangled itself
from the rout of men and women was
the old restless visionary gaze that
had haunted me before. The Jewish
leader wns holding n kind of levee,
with lyrical interludes in the shape
of songs by his Hungarian compat-

Movement.)
riot, Mile. Aurelia Bevy, a young
prima donna who has won golden
praise with the Carl Rosa Opera com
pany and at Covent Garden.
I was astonished to find that Herzl
had learned to speak English with
wonderful fluency. Now nnd then he
fall back on a charming Latinism
(such as "avitate" for avoid), but he
expresses himself with surprising
lucidity. The dominant note in his
idealism is his confidence. He has
faith in his faith. He believes through
walls of difficulty. And this imagin
ative prophet has in him a granite
basis of common sense. He keeps
his visions well in leash, nnd prefers
to talk of the hard, practical side of
his vast scheme for lending the peo
ple of Israel back to the promised
land.
It is a potent force, this new pride
of race which nerzl has rekindled.
I was struck by the passionate en
ergy with which he and his comrades
protested against the injustice of
judging the Jews by their black
sheep. The core nnd heart, of the
Zionist movement is its canonization
of the Jew ns a Jew, its glorification
of the Jew's historic heritage, its
call to the Jew to emerge from his
subterranean hiding places nnd to
stand before the world as a racial
unity. Znngwill put this all in n par
able. "The Jew in the past," he said,
"has acted like the ostrich. He has
burled his head in the sand, with the
natural result that, the world has
been tempted to kick the most, prom
inent part of his anatomy. Some in-
j i hi ii 1 1 ,i i ,icyn prerer to continue
these tactics. But we think the time
has come to stand erect."
And as Mile. Bevy sang some of her
own wild Hungarian folksongs I could
not help thin King that there is more
dynamic force in this Jewish re
nascence than the Gentile imagines.
For the Jews, nbove all races, are
idealists. If this great ideal took fire
and blazed through their ranks, who
shall say where it would end? But
the men who are organizing it are
prudent. Herzl deprecates wild and
nebulous aims. He prefers to keep
the movement on the practical line
of nn agricultural nnd industrial col
ony. Yet, in his restless visionary
eyes there Is a loftier dream, a more
splendid conception, the immortal
image of Israel n nation, and not the
least of the nntions of the earth.

To put the hrnke on the wagon going down

wagon is heavily lontled. Hut what driver
would think of applying the btake to a load

man is in the condition of pulling a load np

his lloiuach is out of or ler, nnd the allied
organs of digestion and nutrition Impaired
in their functions, a friction it set up which
has to be overcome in addition to the per

makes a foggy brain, and the man with a
disordered stomach has often to grope his

by the use of Or. Pierce's Golden Medicnl
