work rather Jogues afterwards wrote
In solemn words
It was September 29 IC42 that this

The thirtyeight years following the
death of Father Joguea were eventful
ln the extreme for the Allsslon or the
Martyrs Many priests visited the mis
slon and many Christians were tor
tured and Plain Father Poncet who
exercised the ministry of a Cathollo

to this day as a precious treasure by
her own Indian people At the begin-
ning of the vear 1GS4 tho mission
among the Mohawks were abandoned
on account of the I rench and Kngltsh
war and thus closed the old Ml slon of
the Martyrs
The attempt to reopen the mission
was made two centuries later Isearly

prising ten acres lias been purchased

Hon < L Conger who has been for
some time the member from Ohio on
the national Republican commltttee Is
here and delivered himself this morn-
ing of an interview on the presidential
outlook especially in regard to he
situation In his native state It will
be remembered that Mr Conger was
one of the opponents of the second
nomination of President Harrison
Mr Conner saja that Governor Mo
Klnley will have the Ohio delegation
to the next national Republican con-
vention and he adds that exGovernor
Foraker Is going to tho United States
senate
The only stumbling block In the
way of this program will be the an-
tagonism on the part of Governor Mc
Klnleys friends to exGovernor Fora
Iter candidacy to the senate If Mc
XInle > adherents try to put any ob-
stacle In Foraker path then a square
cut Isuue wll be presented and there
will not be a solid delegation for Mc
Klrley at the convention I bull eve
however that everything will work out
harmoniously for both men

In the modest shipyards ot the Her

purpose the vounar Corslcan patriot
was heedless ot military obligations to

About this time at a moment when

A melancholy Interest attaches itself
just now to the young Queen of Portu-
gal for she was the eldest daughter
and favorite child ot the late Comte
de Purls and It was owing more or
less dhectly to her marriage to the
then Duke of Ilraganru that the
IVench government passed the ex-
pulsion bill against the direct heirs of
famllloa who had once reigned lu
France
Amelia Louise Ilelene Orleans was
bent at Twickenham thirty yvara av- >
on September 28 1SCS She had always
shown a marked partiality for Eng-
land and things nngtlsh the whole of
her childhood having been cpent In the
countri which has so often been the
rerugo of exiled royaltlei
Her rlrlhood was passed at the Cha-
teau dEu the Com to do Parian beau-
tiful Norman home but the Orleans
family remained In constant commu-
nication with their English friends
and Princess Amelle training
and eflucatlon closely resembled that
gp gsf E
needed to build the new cup defende f
and his associate multl millionaires J
Plerpont Morgan tho Wnll street mag-
nate and William II Vanderbllt
Mr lBclin as a matter of ftct has
spent the greater part o the past week
ln an around Bristol He Is the one of
the syndicate or three that has been
asked bj the New lork lacht club to
keep a watchful eye on the construc-
tive work and as far as possible lend
his abio and practical experience to
tho builder and designer Nat Herre
shoff
It Is doubtful If two moro capable
men could be found in this or any oth-
er country to undertake a work of this
i klnl and when Old Glor Is launch
J ed r is sate to say that the eves ot tho
tountry to speak hyprrbollcally will
rest on a craft that csn In any kind of
I a breeze or a calm show her heels to
the fleetest yacbt that Lord llunravcn
ran build undellho name ot Valkjrio
ii r
rAfter much manueverlng a reporter
has bteti able to obtain the measure
ments of the now Old Glory togetu i
er with designs of her aa she will ap I
pear when she slides off her stocks and
an sho will stand when in full racing
rig
It has been decided by both Mr Her
reshoiX and Mr Iseiin nfter a great
deal of discussion thought and calcu-
lation to make her two feet shorter
ove oil than the last cup defender the
Vikllant
iho Vigilant length over all was ltd
feet with a tweutyBUfoot beam and a
draught of fourteen feet Old Glorj
will also bo of less beam than the Mgl
lant by a foot and posslby eighteen
Inches The txact width will be defi-
nitely setllcd on by tho desigtur and
Mr laelln ln the course ot a few days
Tho new yacht will resemble the Vigi-
lant ln general outline but to tho criti-
cal eye she will at a glance be seen
to be a much cleanercut and generaUy
trimmer cratt
Bhe will bo a centerboaM vacht with
a Tobln bronze hull and will carry sev-
eral more tons of lead on her keel than
the Vigilant
One of the Vlgllants glarlnff weak-
nesses was her Inability to pome about
quickly Had she been able to come ln
stays quickly It Is the general opinion
of j a tchlng experts that no craft afloat
would hsvo got within hailing distance
of tier In a good yachting breeze
The extra weighting of Old Glo
rjs keel will It Is hoped and believed
by Messrs Herreshoff and Iselln ob-
viate the weakness of the old cup de-
fender and generally lender her ca-
pable of qulok maneuvering
Mr Istilln has confided to a few of his
Intimate friends here slnca tho designs
for the new yacht were deflrltely set-
tled on his belief that when afloat she
will not only be the handsomest de-
fender we have ever seen oat that she
t 111 bi the fleetest craft that England s
sportsmen have ever been callud on to
compete with
The probable cost of Old Glory is
a state secret but It can be authorta
tlvely stated that aha will cost consid-
erably more than any one or the four
aspirants for the title of defender In
the last race
These four Colonla Vigilant Jubi-
lee and Pilgrim cost 73 000
Tho Vlgllants syndicate owners had
put up in all 35701 when the craft was
lanunched and equpped It Is safe to
s y that Old Glory as aha stands
ready for the fray will represent a net
outlay of at least 125 000 or 130 000
There wilt be ro doubt of her ability
or lack of ability long before the day
set for the first race George Gould
the multlmllllonalr sportsman has
expressed bis Intention ot spending 35
000 In refitting the Vigilant from stem
to stem so that ffhe may serve as a
trial hone to speak vernacularly for
Old Glory In several friendly races
berore the great international series
Mr Goulds magnamloua offer has
been gratefully accepted by the New
York Yacht club and In a few weeks
work on the grand old cup defender
will be begun
If Old Glory can show her heel to
Vlellant even the most conservative
yatchmen say that she will have no
trouble of levlng the swiftest craft
that that gallant sportsman Lord Dun
raven sends over to America
