Yesterday’s Yacht Race.
Except for the fouling of the Defend-
er by the Valkyrie yesterday there
would be no fault tofind with the out
come of the second of the series of
yacht races for America’s Cup. As a
matter of fact there is little doubt that

the majority of the American people

secretly hoped that the contest might
be won by,t-lie British boat, or at least
that the triumph of the Defender might
be a close one. Another overwhelming
victory for the Herreshofl‘ craft yester-
day, such as that..of last Saturday,
would have destroyed all interest in
the remainder of the races.
Undoubtedly the weather conditions
yesterday were distinctly favorable to
the Valkyrie. The behavior of the
British champion apparently vindicated
Lord D’un'raven’s repeated assertion
that she was built for light winds. At
the sameftime the mishap which De-
fender sustained leaves it uncertain
which is a superior boat in a stiff breeze.
Valkyrie won—if it shall be determined
thatit wasa race—only by a narrow
margin. Evidently the struggle for
the America’s Cup is still “anybody’s
race,”a fact which will add greater
zest to the other battles for supremacy
‘lg'e'tween these two wonderful ocean

is This 80? ‘ .
Rev. Dr. Thomas Dixon, Baptist.
5th,); New York, on Sunday, preached

the second of his series of sermons on
“l‘he Failure of Protestantism in New
York,” atthe Academy of Music and
said this, among other startling things:

~"The cause of the failure of Protest-
antism is the alienation of the masses.
The masses are not in the Protestant
churches. I don’t know where they
are. The masses of the people may be
at Coney Island, on excursions or in the
Catholic churches to-day for all I
know; but one thing I do know, they
are not in the Protestant churches.
The misses of the people are without
the influence of the Protestant church-
es. If you don’t believe me, go to any
of the mission societies of the Protest-
ant churches and see. Out of 1,500,000
persons in this city, only 75,000 attend
the Protestant churches and.four out
Of every five are women.

The ideal of the Protestant Church of
this city is a social organization, with
just enough religion not to spoil the
social features of the church.”

Mr. Dixon said that when a person
applied for membership unless he had
money his name would be rejected.
“What the Protestant churches want,”

he continued, “is rich men. The more

" ,rich men they gut the better they suc-

ceed. Their Ideal is a rich social or-
ganization.
is toward democracv; the trend of the
Protestant churches is to an aristo-

cracy.”

The progress of the world

 

*r—fi!———-
CO-operation.
One of the wonders ,of the times is a

‘ Pennsylvania manufacturer who is a

free trader. We refer to Mr. A. B.
Farquhar, of York, who is doing a large
and successful 'business, and who, we
have no doubt, owes much "of his pros-
perity to conditions that have been
created by the policy of protection.

Mr. Farquhar finds time, amid the
cares of business, to write occasionally
for the press and to make a speech now
and then. On Labor Day he addressed~
the workingmen of his own city, and,
as usual, said somethings worth noting.
For example, he told the toilers that
“the relative condition of the manufact-
urer and workmen now is in favor of
the workman as compared with thirty-
nine years ago, when I commenced
business.” He further said that “if a
manufacturer Of to-doy worked no
harder and watched his business no
closer than he did thirty-five or forty
years ago he would soon break up.”

Mr. Farquhar is an enthusiastic advo—
cate of co-operation, and .ho found on
that occasion a good opportunity far
the utterance of wise admonition in
exploiting the co-operative" doctrine.
He said : ,

 

“Every Workman should have a pro-
prietary interest in the wealth of the
country. There should be the widest
diffusion of capital, especially inland.
But the only way to acquire capital is
to save it. The government cannot
give it to you without robbing some one
esle to get it. Co—operation is the only
true method, and every honest effort of
workmen to put it in practice should be
encouraged ; and I for one thank God
for every success scored since it opens
the way for thousands to pass from de-
pendence and penury to freedom and
comerl. The vice of depending upon
the nation or upon some one else in-
stead of one’s self is too common. The
nation has nothing whatever to do with
the affairs of its citizens further than to
protect them from foreign. interference,
to preserve order, and prevent one man
frOm invading the rights of another.
Private enterprise builtup this country,
felled its forests, drained its swamps,
erected its towns, excavated its mines.
dug its canals, and made its roads, and
invented the innumerable labor'saving
machines that have enabled the poor-
est workman to live in more comfort to-
day than'ithe wealthy classes did a few
hundred years ago.”

There may be those who will question
the practibility of an early and general
introduction of the co-operative plan,
but there are few who will question its
desirability. If the workingmen own-
ed large interests in the factories and
mines, labor disturbances would be
very unusual occurrences. But a good
degree of success has attended a few co-
operative experiments, and we hope
for a growth of the sentiment in favor
of that plan. What Mr. Farquhar says
in regard to self-dependence is timely
and true.

The Wondersoi‘ Electricity.

A dispatch was sent by the New York
Sun from its own telegraphic rooms to
the Glasgow Citizen announcing the
Valkyrie’s victory at 2:53 o’clock yes-
terday afternoon and in hat/“a, minute,
the people of that Scottish city on the
other side of the Atlantic, were wildly
cheering Lord Duuraven and his boat.

For Musl’cal People.

The idea of publishing a series of
collections from musical compositions
which seem to hold an unchanging
place in the admiration and favor of
the public, has been most successfully
embodied, by the Oliver Ditson Com-
pany is the new “Favorite Series.”

The series includessix volumes, viz:
“Favorite Collection of Piano Music,”
“Favorite Collection of Songs,” “Fa-
vorite Collection of Vocal Duets,”
“Favorite Collection of Waltzes,”
“Favorite Collection of Dance Music”
and “Favorite Collection of Marches
and Galops.” These collections include
the best modern music, are exquisitely
bound, and all sold at the low price
of 50 cents per volume, Descriptive
circulars of any, or all of the “Favorite
Series are sent on application. OLIVER

Murderer Captured.

’ George Barker, colored, who mur-
dered his wife near White Plains a
couple of weeks ago and made his es-
cape immediately afterwards, is now
behind the bars of a cell in the White
Plains jail. Detectives of all kinds
have been searching this neighborhood
for him without avail. He was cap-
tured by a farmer in the woods above

her life. He was given five years in
state prison.

ls Deservlng of‘ Punishment.

 

At last James H. O’Reilly has been
placed under arrest. It will be remem-
bered that for along time past the mis-
doings of O’Reilly have been the sub-
ject of severe criticism in the local pa-
pers, but for some reason or other
O’Reiily has escaped being brought be-
fore the court. , .

Last night he is reported as having
gone home and engag ed in a quarrel
with his wife,a not unusual occurrence.

Not content with upsetting a table
and Spilling the dishes on the floor he
roundly abused his wife who managed
to escape out of the house with her child,
and ran across the street to the home of
Mr. O’Reilly’s parents. .

O’Reilly followed her and meeting
his father in the front dooryard, be-
came engaged in an angry discussion
with him, and it is alleged knocked him
down, and then kicked him.

Word was sent to the police station
that a man named O’Reilly was mur~
dering his father on Center avenue.
Officers Bartram and Hunt hurried to
the scene, and found O’Reilly sitting on
the steps-leading into Finnegan’s gro-
cery store.

He was placed under arrest, and ask-
ed the privilege of going home to
change his clothes, which request was
granted. He then accompanied the
olhcers as far as Main street where he
succeeded in getting Mr. George Grum-
man to become surety in the sum of
$50 for his appearance for trial in the
Town court. ,

At 10 o’clock O’Reilly put in an ap-
pearance, but as both town court Judges
were out of town the case was continued
until tc-morrow afternoon.

The Brooklyn Handicap.

The management of the NorWalk
Opera House announces for his attrac-
tion on Tuesday, Sept. 17th, the beauti-
ful comedy-drama, “The Brooklyn
Handicap.” We clip the following
from the New York Sun of Aug. 26.

“The Brooklyn Handicap, Miss Alice
E. Ives’ new play, madea decided hit
at the Empire Theatre last- 'evening,
when it was produced for the first time.
The play has all the attributes of a.
popular production. It contains, be-
sides,— an interesting character, study,
and is so complete in its details that it
is sure to become a great success. Con-
siderable attention has been paid in the
production to the stage setting, and the

 

 

results attainedare most praisworthy.”

Mrs. Claude _ Guthrie Has an El-
clting Experience Witli a

Mall at Silver Mine.

 

Tore Off a Portion of His Vest.

Mrs. Claude Guthrie had an exciting
experience with an itinerant peddler in
a lonely spot on the Silver Mine road
at an early hour this morning, at which
time a forcible attempt was made to as-
sault her by the villian, which 'was foil-
ed by the ‘coolness and pluck of Mrs.
Gutheri'e. _

Mrs. Guthrie was walking quietly
down the road and just as she entered a
piece of woods ishe was accosted by a
man who was selling whisk brooms.
Mrs. Guthrie stopped and listened to
what the peddler had to say and after
informing him. that she did not care to
purchase his wares, started to continue
her journey. The rascal then made an
indecent proposal which was indignant-
ly resented, whereupon he grabbed
hold of Mrs. Guthrie and kissed her.
He thenattempted to throw her to the
ground but being a well-built and agile
woman she succeeded in wrenching her-
self free from his grasp, tearing off 'a
portion of his vest which she retained.

As soon as Mrs. Guthrie released her-
self the villain startedon a run to es-
cape. Mrs. Guthrie returned home
and notified her husband who drove at
once to this city and securing the ser-
vices of Lieutenant Morehouse return-
ed to Silver Mine in search of the
peddler. Mrs. Guthrie was unable to
give a good description of the man, but
the piece of cloth she tore from his vest
will no doubt assist the police in catch-
ing the'scO’undrel.
