THE THISTLE-FOLKS TALK SHE’S A CUTTEE, AND THE FASTEST CUTTER ON EARTH Owner Bell and Designer Watson are Here— They’re Not Telling How Much Canvas, or What Kind, She Will Spread, but There’s no Secret About Her Hull. From the New York Sun. Now we all know about it. The manag ing owner and the designer of the Thistle, have arrived and have talked about the fa mous Scotch cutter freelv. The mystery that surrounded her in the minds of some of the yachtsmen has been dispelled, “air bub bles” and all. She is simply a cutter built accoi-ding to the ideas of a well known de signer, untrammelled by any rules of meas urement whatever. She was simply de signed to be the fastest possible boat of her length, and if she is not what she was de signed to be, it is only because some Yankee boat is faster. Among the host of passengers that 1 thronged the decks of the City of Rome, as she steamed up the lower bay early yester day morning, was a group who looked about with far more interest for a sight of a fam iliar mast and sail than they did at the green hills of Staten Island, The group in cluded Mr. and Mrs. James .Bell, Mr. William Clark, Mr. G. L Watson, Mr. and Mrs. Coulson, Mrs. Hilliard, Mr. William York, Mr. Janies Finlayson, ' and Mr. Thomas Ratsey. Mr.' Bell is, the managing owner of the Thistle, and it was in his name that the challenge for a race for the America’s cup was err tered. Mr. Watson, who, as Mr. Bell said •‘is far and away the ablest designer on tie other side,” was chosen as the designer of the new boat. Mr. Clark was one of trio men who helped pay for the boat, and the rest were friends ot the chief members of the party. They are all here to see the rice, and the younger members of the party are very confident of the Thistle’s success. Mr. Bell and Mr. Watson are hopeful, but they are not certain of a victory. Both Mr. Bell and Mr. Watson are frank, and when a question is asked about their boat which they do not wish to answer they tell why they do not wish to answer. But the questions which they were unwilling to answer were such as would be interesting to the naval architect, but of no consequence to the general public or even to the ordinary yachtsman. YVhen asked about the model of the Thistle Mr. Watson said: “She is simply a development of the ideas of what a yacht should he, which I have in corporated in other yachts I have bujlt. There is no special form, or device or con trivance about her —not even any of that ginger-beer idea. I do not intend to give away the exact lir.es of her model; if there was everywhere a community of property I would be satisfied to see a commonwealth of brains. Over on our side we do not share our ideas in such things with one another. ” “How about docking her over here? Do you intend to exclude spectators?” “Weil [laughing], perhaps we would if we could, but we don’t think we will try it. You will be welcome to come and look at her. We have made no arrangements for docking her yet. But as to her canvas or any other matter which would give our op ponent any advantage we do not wish to say anything. We cannot alter our hull, and he cannot alter Volunteer’s, so we do not care how much you look at ours in or out of water.” Mr. Watson did not wish to compare the Thistle with the Genesta. He said, how ever, that in the races with the Irex the Thistle was crowded for all she was worth; she hail to give a time allowance, and could not afford to lag or experiment very much. As to carrying a pilot during the races he said: “That is left entirely with Oapt. Barr, but he is of the opinion that a pilot would only be in the way. Capt. Barr wants to be in full charge.” In speaking of the English efforts to carry away the cup, he said that when once any one over there set out to win the cup we had to have six months’ notice after the size of the coming boat had been determined on, and thus had time enough to build a new defender better than the old ones. “If we win again you can no longer say that you have a better oue on the other side, however The Thistle has shown herself the best cutter in the world,” was suggested. “Yes, she is the best ever built, and you have got the best sloop ever built. It is is going to be a great race—a very great race." Mr. Watson regretted that it had been re ported that he had come over here last summer to examine American models. “I was not here three months, as reported. I was here a fortnight. I might have been in the Now York Yacht Club house two hours, but no longer, and I was not above half an hour in their model room.” Mr. Bell talked still more freely than Mr. Watson. He was asked how He came to build such a boat as the Thistle. He said: “We always believed that we could win the cup if we built as we ought to do. I did not think tliat a boat built to win on our side under our late rule 6 could win over here. If we were ever to take the cup, it must be with a good wholesome cutter, not trammelled by arbitrary rules of measure ment. We taxed beam; you did not. That enabled you in your models to get stability naturally or by breadth of beam. But your older models were too broad and too shal low for ns; they wore dangerous and some times upset and drowned your yachtsmen. Now, you cannot upset the Thistle, though you may dismast her. We have built in the Thistle the best ship we could without regard to rules of measurement. The draw ings were ail completed for her before Mr. Watson sailed for America Inst year. He came over to study your water and weather, Ml when he came back he did not want to alter a line.” “(s there anything striking or novel in her model as compared with other cutters i” “Not at all. You will be astonished, after all that you have heard about secrecy and mystery, when you see her. The mystery was not of our making. We were overrun with inquiries at, first, and simply to save interminable labor we declined to answer any of them. She is simply a cutter of the proportions that prevailed before the rules taxing beam were enforced; she is a cutter developed from those that, were popular ten years ago. The Volunteer by lowering her weights is a safer and more powerful sloop tlma her predecessors, and is far and away the best model you huve had yet. If, after seeing the bull of Thistle ill the dock, ;in v nne is curious to know more about her he can buy her. She will lie for sale as soon as the race is over, win or lose. Then you can tear her to pieces if you like. But she is just as strong ns stoel can make her.” "Are you a practical sailorman?” “Yes. I have steered my own yacht in races. Here (showing where the end of a finger had been nipped) you see what I lost in one race.” "If a good race it was worth that!” f>h, yes, it was worth a good deal; we w pn t he race. But I never steered the Thistle. ” e think the man who is to steer her in the oig race ought to handle the tiller all he can. I was on the Thistle in all her cares, but ( apt. Barr steered We got as many races us we could for him. so that he could learn all about her. We tailed her for all she was " orth, too. Mr. Barr is a good one to get 1,1 windward. Any duffer can ateer off the wind, but it takes a good sailor to work to windward. ” “ I here is an impression here that she is better as a light weather boat.” "blie is the Isist all-around boat wo could build. Bha did as well in heavy woollier a* |n light. We new sailed a race where we end to take in the topsail, though, of course, W” did sometime* take in the topsail just to •• what effort it would have. But we car ted our topsail when the rest took in t heirs." “Moms of our exports think her tmwsprit tether dander.” “WU, she lost ft bowsprit once, you know; hut it was in a tonn where a big steamer foundered. Idon’t think we will have any races in wether where she will dip her bowsprit, Ihe rides very easy. e raced her in he Thames race in a nasty chop sea, and he never took a drop of water on board bho came in as dry as a fiddle.” “fn case the \Munteer wins are there others over ther> who will build another)” “Another wouJ doubtless lie built. Not that I would be ikely to have a share in it; it lakes entirelytoo much of one’s time for me to engage myself again. But within two months yd are likely to have a chal lenge if Thisti loses. lam pleased to hear that Gen. Pane is likely to lx> our competi tor. I hope o make his acquaintance. We know that i'he is our opponent he will get every inch °ut of his boat that there is in her, nnd tl*t we shall have a square and sat isfaetory ace, even if we do lose. I shall be gratifW to make the acquaintance of such a yichtsman as he is.” On Suiday last Mr. Bell, while carrying some waps across the deck for the ladies of his pary. was thrown down by a gust of wind. The fall abraded his loft arm and erysiwlas set in. He was practically blind for tje last two days of the voyage. His phvsHan has ordered him to remain at his hote, the Fifth Avenue, until Monday. Whin told that tho Volunteer would be in thedry dock over Sunday, he said at first thft he did not care to see her, but after wtl'd thought better of it. and said he would go down if he could do so. He in tends to go on board the Thistle with Mrs. Jell on Monday and remain some days. He will probably see the trial races of next week from the deck of the Thistle. Com. Smith, of the New York Yacht Club Regatta Committee, called on Mr. Bell during tho afternoon. Mr. Bell has the freedom of t%> club house during his stay. It has not yet been decided who will repre sent the New York Yacht Club on board the Thistly There is a good deal of talk in the New York Yacht Club in favor of changing the starting point for the preliminary and the international yacht races from Owl’s Head to Buoy 15, below the Narrows. Although nothing has been definitely settled, the fact that adverse currents and fickle winds in the Narrows often liother tho yachtsmen is likely to cause the change to be made. Mr. Bell, Mr. Watson, and the other gen tlemen of their party were at the New York Yacht Club house last night. There were a score or more members present, and the Scotchmen got a very warm greeting. A GIRL SNAKE CATCHER. The Charming Massachusetts Damsel Who Is a Devotee to Ophiology. From the Boston Transcript. She lives in Mailen; she is 17 years old, or thereabouts, and she is an ophiologist— that is to say, her specialty is snakes. Very often, in pleasant summer weather, this young girl, with hands clad in high buck gloves and armed with a bottle of chloro form, lurks about the fens and pools and thickets watching for snakes, a girl fair to look upon, sauntering, one might imagine, with eyes upon the ground, in maiden med itation, fancy free. She is in maiden medi tation, indeed, but not fancy free, because her fancy is bound to snakes and she is searching intently for somo variety not yet added to her collection of several hundred. Presently she stops; with an eager gleam in her eyes, she croiiehes along a step or two, her glove-clad right hand drawn back as if to clutch some object; she springs forward toward the ground with a swift motion, and then stands erect with the body of a snake writhing about her arm in desperate throes. She has it by the neck and pro ceeds calmly to thrust its head into the neck of her bottle of chloroform. Not niany days ago this young scientist, after a rather desperate contest, captured in the fells a blacksnake so large and pow erful that when it wrapped itself in the mad grasp of its body about her arm it strained her cords and muscles so severely that she was lame for a week. It did not prevent her, however, from sallying forth again, and when she happemed to perceive, at the margin of a pool, a big watersnake of a variety which she had not secured for her collection, she lay in wait for it. As the snake pounced upon a frog she pounced upon the snake; but the reptile was in his element and escaped her. Was she to be baf fled in that way? Not at all. She managed to anchor a frog in some way upon a stone at the edge of a pool, at a spot where the bank was overhung with bushes. Then she stealthily laid herself flat upon her face un der the bushes at the brink of the water, and there she lay in ambush for a long time, while the snake curiously eyed tho frog. At last the snake, with sudden resolution, made bold to seize the frog; but as he did so a gloved hand, swifter than his own sinuous motion, dartedfrom the bank, and he was a prisoner, splashing the water of the pool in his vain effort to escape. The girl has one grief—she has not been able to capture with her own hands a rattlesnake. Human Nature in Snakes, From the New York Evening 6>un. Mr. Mesereau, of Esonu-s, Ulster county, was introduced to Col. Thomas P. Ochiltree in the smoking room of the Hoffman House last Saturday evening, and heal'd the Colo nel relate some interesting facts about the snakes of Texas. Esopus is noted for rais ing big squashes and at.le snake historians. Mr. Mesereau is one of the latter products, and has attained his full growth. When Mr. Ochiltree paused to relight his cigar Mr.JMesereau said: “I believe some snakes have human nature and instincts in their systems, and will prove it to you. One day not long ago. while I was crossing a field on my farm, I heal'd a rustling in the grass. 1 looked and saw something that made my hair stand up so straight that my hat fell off my head. Not ten feet away was a black snake over eight feet long. The snake looked at me a moment, thrashed the ground with his tail, cavorted around in a circle, looked at me again, and then moved away in the direction I was going. “I was so paralyzed at what I saw that I stood still like a balky jackass. The snake came back, and after going through the same performance as before he ran away again. “ ‘That’s mighty queer,’ says Ito myself. ‘I wonder what ails that snake.’ Again the snake came back, thrashed and cavorted around and lookea into my eyes. This time I had the courage to look more steadily, and I noticed a sort of appealing look in his eyes. I followed the reptile, which ran ahead to show me the way. He led me to a big log at the end of the field. “Under that log was the snake’s mate. He wanted me to extricate him. I lifted one end of the log, the snake crawled out, and both of them streaked away. “The next morning, as I was eating breakfast, I heard a knock at the door. 1 op -ned the door and there were the two black snakes. They bad a big fat rabbit and a pair of partridges. They crawled into the kitchen, got up on a chair, laid the game on the table and then left the house. They had knocked at the door with their tails. “Now, if you don't call that human na ture and instinct then I’d like to know what human nature and instinct are.” Col. (Ichiltree's cigar hail gone out, and, as he left the room to get a fresh one, ho murmured: “I wonder if there is any chance of salvation for a man who has the snake habit fastened on him.” What They Are Good For.

SUMMER DRESSES. A New Way of Storing Them to Keep Them Through the Winter. (Copyrighted.) New York, Sept. 10. —Already the tinge of autumn in the air has caused the femi nine mind to turn from the pretty lawns nnd mulls, the delicate India silks, grena dines and elaborate white robes with which they have made themselves more or less beautiful all summer to think of heavier fabrics and fur-trimmed costumes. With t lie change of season comes the disposal of the summer's wardrobe. To many this is as great a care as in the spring is the putting away and caring for furs and woolens. Many ladies sell their summer dresses as soon as they have ceased wearing them and thus save the care of them, but the price paid for these articles of clothing by the “dealers" is so very small that few will trouble with this mode of disposal, the wealthiest ladies give their drosses to their maids, who in turn drive sharp bargains with those willing to buy. There is a place of which a friend told me where ladies’ dresses arn exchanged for something else they may desire; this same lady pointed to ward three pretty rugs which slio assured me were exchanged for some of her last winter’s finery. The greater proportion of women retain their drosses at least through two seasons. To properly care for them requires thought, trouble and plenty of room, which latter the New York woman seldom has. She is obliged to stuff her prettiest gowns into trunks, to see them noxt year robbed of all their daintiness, every puff crushed down, every plait turned the wrong way and the whole a shabby and discouraging mass, with which she never again takes any com fort. No woman likes to bo seen in last year’s dress, but if last year’s dress can by care so travel incognito that its identity is preserved, and no one suspects it of other than being brand new, the wearer feels as if she had gained a conquest. If one has a large dark closet the dresses may come out as good ns new in the following manner: Get several yards of common white muslin sheeting, make loops of tape so that it will hang evenly all around the closet, then hang each dress on a hook, the skirt on the lower part, the waist on • the upper i>art of the hook, so on around the closet; then double sheeting up over the dresses. This edge must also be provided with tape loops, which hold the sheeting in place entirely over the clothing so that they hang as in a loose flat bag. There is nothing to crush them or destroy their prettiness. The fact of the compartment eing dark is of importance. Many colors that become somewhat faded in the sun resume their former brightness when placed in the dark for some time. This is particularly time of blue dresses. I once saw a blue silk the wearer thought was ruined by the bright sunlight, which appar ently had extracted all the color, bearing only a dullish white. Sorrowfully the dress was hung in a dark closet: consigned to the tomb, as it were. A few days later the lady in question got the dress to show a friend the sad havoc the sun’s rays had wrought, when to her surprise the dress looked ex actly the same as when new. The darkness had restored the color. She continued to wear the dress, but always in the evening. There are a few shades, however, that are faded by gaslight. For those who have not sufficient room to arrange dresses as I have described, a long wooden box the length of the dress skirt can be made by any carpenter, and mav be transformed into an attractive lounge by placing a mattress u]>ori the top, over which may be thrown a Turkish rug, or any of the artistic fabrics so easily procurable; add two or three sofa pillars, and the effect is a lux urious piece of furniture If the dresses are thrown in loosely, not packed as in a trunk, they will not crumple, or if they do, but very little, which may be soon removed by hanging before a window any damp day. It is most important, either in hanging dresses or laying them away, never to turn them wrong side out, as this process injures the appearance of the drapery more than any packing. It was the process of our grandmothers to turn the stiff brocaded skirts inside out, before replacing them in the wardrobe, until the next occasion of festivity. It must be remembered, how ever, that these antique costumes wore, for the most part, plain round skirts without drapery. In the putting away of wash dresses every vestige of starch should be removed, and they should be left unironed. White dresses of any fabric are improved by placing sheets of blue tissue paper between the folds and then wrapping the whole dress in the same paper. Sashas should be ripped apart, the ribbon steamed and rolled over a stiff roll of paper the same width. Next season they will look like new. The process should also be Used in renovating black silk, after it has been sponged with a solution of ammonia and water; never iron, but roll over a wooden or paper roll, while still damp, and it will come out when used exactly as if freshly purchased. Evelyn Baker Harvier. The Fate of an Alpine Guide. From the Pall Mall Gazette. The Coinpagnie Alpine is a branch of the service of which Italy is justly proud. The men are chosen from the Alpine townships, and are a magnificent set of troops, splen didly trained to their business, which is the protection of the Italian frontier. In win ter they are cantoned in the large towns at the foot of the Alps, Belluno, Conegliano, Verona; but the summer months they spend camping out among the mountains, study ing the lay of the valleys and getting the various paths across the mountains by heart. The Captain was with his company at Agordo, und wished to take his men for a march round the Falle di Ban Lucano. At the inn he offered 30 francs for a guide, hut no one would close with the offer, the diffi culty of the walk being well known. While the discussion was going on in came a tall young fellow, famous for the airs he gave himself. Hearing what was on foot, he turned to the Captain and said: “Signor Capitano, I will take your offer; but, mind, you, where I go none of your men will fol low me.’’ This challenge put the Captain on his mettle. Selecting thirty of his ft est men he started the next morning with )n j guide. The young fellow led them up an ip, pur posely missing the true path, uniir-he and the thirty-one soldiers behind him were clinging to the sheer precipices of Kan Lucano; then he turned and said: “Signor Capitano, I have missed the way. Tell your men to go back. I will go on across this place anil meet you lower down.” The cap tain, in a rage, gave the order to go bock; and the soldiers began feeling their way backwards along the cliff, not daring to turn round. The guide set off by himself; but he had not taken two steps when a rock on which he laid his hold gave way, and he fell. The soldiers turned pale as death; but the captain said: “Bergeant, you saw him fall; go down and fetch him,’’ and the sergeant did. When he got to the foot of the cliffs he found the mangled Inxiy of the guide, whose own words hail come so true: “Where I go none of your men will follow me.” ______________ A Bright Salesman Loses a Customer.
