YACHT MEN MYSTIFIED.
A CHANGE IN THE DEED DF GIFT
OF THE CUP.
A Committee Whose Objeit is Not
Explained—Honors and Coirtesies to
be Given.
From the New York Tinus.
The New York Yacht Club last night
took a step which tf ninety
nine out of a 100 members
will be very mysterious until die few who
are behind the movemeut choose to explain
their scheme. The action was unauinously
agreed to simply because no one kiew any
reason to oppose it. When the meting was
quickly adjurned the clubmen diwussed the
matter. The various shades of opnion were
expressed freely. One man offeied a bet of
SIOO that the cup will uot be taken away
next year, and almost had hit offer taken
when another yachtmau ealed out, “I
will wager SSOO that there wci't beacon
test or a show of a contest fo’ throe years."
so certain did he seem that no one in the
crowd was willing to take hinup.
The unexplained action talon which led to
this conversation was the idoption of a re
solution as follows:
Resolved, That a committee of five he ap
pointed by the Chair to ooufir with Mr George
L. Schuyler on the subject of amending the
deed of gift of the America', cup, and with full
power and authority necessary to effect any
changes in such deed of gift mid the acceptance
thereof, which may lie mntjally agreed upon be
tween them and Mr. Schuyer.
The committee appoint'd consists of James
I). Smith, Charles J. Taino, Philip Schuy
ler, Gnverneur Kortvright, Latham A.
Fish, and Elbridge T. ,'icrry. Not one of
them who was at the Meeting would ven
ture to tell what change in the gift of deed
were contemplated. Nor would anybody
else. “We don’t know vhnt it means,” they
said, “and we can’t Ml there is a report
made.” Secretary Bill professed to be as
ignorant as the most writable landsman,
hut half intimated that t was passed simply
to provide for emergences. It was gen
erally conceded, however, by the club men
that the doings of thi; committee might
materially affect the corditions of the next
race.
There was plenty of tak about the chan
ces of a contest next yeat Some prophesied
that there would not be iny match at all.
tine gentleman said lie Sjia he hoped the
foreign designer would so improve upou the
Thistle that the American* would be beaten.
“Then,” said the speaker “Mr. Burgess—
according to what he his promised—will
build a boat on the keel ,ype which will
conquer the English or the Scotch in their
own waters, and this kind f victory would
be the grandest achievenieit we could boast
of.” A part of the club pn little faith in
the likelihood of a match being made on the
suggested challenge by Claries Sweet. Still
Mr. Sweet has shown bim®lf to be so far
interested as to send this litter to Secretary
Bird;
Alto. 30, 1887.
John H. Bird, Esq.:
Dear Sir—l beg to inform you, as represent
ing the New York Yacht Club, that it is my in
tention to challenge for tie America’s cup. and
that the formal challenge with the documents
and particulars require! by the deed of gift,
will be forwarded as loon as possible. The
yacht will be owned ty myself and another
yachtsman. As the position of a challenger
may be considered antagonistic to the club hold
ing the cup, I think it r.ght to tender my resig
nation as a member jf the New York Yacht
Club. Ido so with nuch regret, as all my re
lations with the club have been of the most
pleasant nature. I an, very truly,
Charles Sweet.
The date of this litter has been comment
ed upon, but Secretary Bird said that as he
did Dot receive it until Sept. 30, it was
probably written ’.hat day and misdated
August. As Lieut Henn, of the Galatea,
and Sir Richard Hitton, of the Genesta,
both of which boats have been hostile to the
club, are members of the New York Yacht
Club, it is likely that Mr. Sweet wall be
asked to with draw his resignation. He is a
Scotchman with business interest in Amer
ica, and has many friends in New York.
The fellow-yachtsman who will join him in
the challenge is one of the men who came to
look after the Thistle in the recent races. If
Mr. Sweet has a boat built it will probably
be of the narrow cutter type. He owns the
swift Clara, which bears more square feet
of canvas to the ton than any centreboard
sloop of her dimensions. Tha knowing men
go so far as to say that the new competitor
will be constructed on lines brought out by
Mr. Watson some mouths ago for a yacht
S6 feet on the water line and 18 feet
beam. This boat would scarcely come in
the Volunteer’s class.
There is little new about what will be
done by Americans to defend the cup. A
feeling is growing that it would only be a
fair thing to relieve Gen. Paine of the cost
of building anew boat. Besides talking
informally about these matters the club
arranged to provide for a dinner to Gen.
Paine and Mr. Burgess on an evening when
they think they will be strong enough to
bear up under all the fine words that the
c lubmen want to say to them. It will boa
subscription feast, and the members declare
that it will surpass the grandest entertain
ments that the club has ever given. They
are going to do honor to Mr. Bell also by
means of a reception, to which the loyal
Scots will all to invited. Mr. Bell wrote
Mr. Bird that Tuesday, Oct. 11, would suit
him best, so that night lias been decided
upon. Mr. Bell’s particular friends, G. L.
V atson, the designer; Com. John Clark,
George Coats, William Clark, J. B. Hilliard,
Andrew Coats and Robert Wylie will be
honored also that evening.
The club voted last night to contribute
SSOO to the subscription started in behalf of
Mr. Burgess. One enthuisast said the purse
would amount to SIO,OOO before the people
got through with it. Subscriptions are to
be accepted from ail Americans. It was
also agreed at the meeting to present Gen.
Paine with some sort of a testimonial for
thrice defending the cup. The gift will
cost SSOO, and will probably he a silver cup.
The chances of a general race over a five
mile course in the Sound, though strongly
urged by the Larehniout Club, are few, as
the big boats are scattering fast.
Boston is getting up a reception in honor
of Mr. Paine and Mr. Burgess.
The Volunteer lay at anchor yesterday a
few rods from the Bay Ridge shore. Her
racing spare were all stowed and her work
ing canvas neatly housed, while two sailors
were busily engaged in giving her hull an
extra coat of white paint above the water
line. The Thistle has shifted her anchorage
over to Tompkinsville. Yesterday she had
all her racing canvas out. to dry, and even
t he crew ban their week’s washing strung to
the jib stays. The Volunteer will sail to
day for Boston, everything having l>een
put iu readiness for the trip. Capt. Half
declares that the Volunteer will not race
again with the Thistle. The American
sloop, lie says, has demonstrated her superi
ority at every point, and another race could
do no more.
Favorite Books.
From the New York World.
The Boston Globe published Sunday the
opinions of certain noted men concerning
the respective merits of English writings.
S. S. Cox is a Svarm admirer of Edmund
Spenser, whom he calls “the poetical ab
straction of all refined and moral imagina
tion.” Bill Nye finds pleasure in the pro
ductions of Herbert Spencer. “The dry,
crisp humor of Spencer” has been a great
joy to Nye throughout his whole life. He
especially admires the following sentence:
“Evolution is a change from an indefinite,
incoherent homogeneity to a definite, cohe
rent heterogeneity through continuous dif
ferentiations and integrations.” P. T. Bar
num bestows great praise on the Bible. He
is es|*>cially fond of tiie story of Jonah and
the whale, and would pay a high price for
the latter, dead or alive. Altogether, the
Giohe is doing a good work in making pub
lic these preferences. They make a pleas

ROMANCE OF A NUN.
Peculiar History of a Yankton Physi
cian and His Wife.
Among the first buildings erected here.
Writes the Yankton correspondent of the
Chicago Herald , was the rather rickety
brick structure that is now occupied by the
Indian school. In and around tho square,
stiff-looking building hangs a romance as
rich in detail, and as unique ns any ever
woven by the pen of Washington Irving, or
Wilkie Colins. Several years ago this
structure was occupied as a Roman Catholic
Seminary, run under tha auspices of the
Sisters of Mercy. At the head of tho estab
lishment was a* devout nun.
known as Sister Mary Paul, who was not
only a splendid musician and an accom
plished linguist, but she possessed more than
ordinary managerial ability. .Sister Mary
Paul, together with her other charming
qualities, possessed a wonderful beauty of
face and form, and her beautiful face, dark
eyes and drooping lashes, and her well
rounded and gracefully molded figure.never
showed to better advantage than when she
appeared on the streets of Yankton clad in
the peculiar black habit of the order. She
was young, but twenty-two summers had
passed over her pretty head, and her rosy
cheeks and sparkling eyes told the story of
health and a vivacious disposition.
A few months liefore Sister Mary made
her appearance at the seminary a young
physician came to Yankton and hung out
his shingle to sway in the breezes of the
Missouri valley an attract the eye of suffer
ing humanity. He was a tall, broad
shouldered, stout-limbed, athletic-looking
fellow, a quarter of a century old, with a
dark, curly beard, clean cut features, and
eyes black as night and full of fire. He was
a handsome man and a king socially. He
had been educated at tho best schools of
Europe and had graduated from a famous
school of physics m St. Petersburg, Russia,
where he was born of wealthy parents.
Yankton society opened its arms and closed
them around the young physician with an
affectionate hug. He soon fell into a
profitable practice that enabled him to live
in splendid style. V. Seblakin Ross, for
this was the name he gave to his most inti
mate friends, told a story of his early life
that was tinged with romance.
He was the only son of a leading physi
cian of St. Peteisburg, and was given the
most thorough education in medicine ob
tainable in the institutions of all Europe.
In his capacity as physician Ross was fre
quently called to the seminary, and during
his visits there frequently met Sister Mary
Paul, whose beauty touched the fancy of the
handsome physician, and when, a few weeks
after he had become acquainted with her, lie
asked her to throw off her habit and become
his wife, ho was gratified to loam that his
love was reciprocated, though the woman at
liitat declined to leave the order and marry
him, But love levels all barriers, and under
the pretense of going to give lessons in em
broidery, Sister Mary got to making fre
quent calls on a lady friend down town who
was in the secret, and would there meet her
lover, who never lost an opportunity to urge
her to become his wife. These clandestine
meetings were kept up for several months,
until at last, unable longer to resist the
ardent pleadings of her suitor, Sister Mary
yielded to his request, but insisted that their
marriage should be kept secret until she
chose to make it known to her sisters at the
convent.
With this understanding, they were se
cretly married at the house of Sister Mary’s
friend by a Presbyterian clergyman, who
considerately asked none but the stereo
typed questions. Ross had won the prize
and he was satisfied, but his wife, who was
obliged to lead a dual life, went back to the
convent with anything but a calm con
science. She held out for three months,
when one day she surprised her sisters by
not returning from her usual afternoon
walk down town, and when, upon investiga
tion, she was traced to a suit of handsome
ly furnished rooms, where she was installed
as tho wife of the leading physician in the
city, there was a sensation that shook the
society of Yankton to its very foundation.
Sister Mary—now publicly Mrs. V. Sebla
kin Ross—looked serenely on and shook in
the faces of the gossips her proofs of honor
able marriage. Mrs. Ross was excommu
nicated from the church, but there were
other churches in Yankton glad to receive
her after the affair was explained. To-day
Dr. Ross and his handsome wife walk with
the best society and are apparently living
the happiest of lives.
JENNY LIND AT HOME.
The Quaint Little Woman, Her Roman
tic Marriage and Her Charities.
Iyondon Cor. of the Philadelphia Press.
It hardly seems possible that the
quaint little old lady, Mme. Liad-
Goldschmidt, with whom I have recently
spent so charming an evening, is really the
same “Jenny Lind” who thrilled the world
with her unparalleled voice and made it
ring with her praises a generation or more
ago. Although never a truly beautiful
woman, the great cantatrice, judging from
the many different portraits that are hang
ing about her house, must formerly have
been attractive and engaging in her appear
ance, but to-day she is tho plainest, most old
fashioned little body imaginable, dressing
in the style of thirty-five years ago, with a
funny little cape folded over her shoulders
and a curiously fashioned cap on her head,
underneath which her hair is drawn down
smoothly on her face over her ears. Added
to these peculiarities, she wears a dress
made in a perfectly plain manner, “gath
ered” into a belt at the waist and with no
attempt whatever at ornamentation in the
way of trimming or overskirt.
Few people, I tancy, save her very inti
mate friends, are aware of the exceedingly
romantic nature of Jenny Lind’s marriage,
not so many years ago, to Mr. Otto Gold
schmidt, who is perhaps fully fifteen years
her junior, and although a bald-headed,
rather elderly looking gentleman, still
appears to be much younger than his tal
ented wife. When Jenny Lind came to
America, Sir Jules Benedict also came as
her accompanist. He was obliged to re
turn for some reason suddenly to England,
and tho great singer bethought her of a
Eoor young German musician, whom she
ad met some time before in Germany, and
as soon as possible secured his services in
the place of Sir Jules Benedict’s. The young
man, like all who came within sound of tne
magical voice, soon became Jenny Lind's
ardent admirer and presently her slave.
Never dreaming that he might in any way
hope for a return of his passion, he deter
mined to leave her, and, upon announcing
this fact, and telling her he could no longer
endure her perfect indifference to him, she
told him of her concealed love for him and
they soon we,nt together to England, where
they were married and have since lived.
Their present residence is No. 1 Morton
Gardens, Bolton, S. W., and is a comfortable
rather than a pretentious abode. It is full
of souvenirs or Jenny Lind’s early triumphs,
and there are also many valuable pictures.
A large portrait of tho Princess Christian is
hung in a conspicuous place, and is the gift
of her royal highness, who was a favorite
pupil and is now a warm friend of Mme.
Lind-Goldschmidt, often coming to visit
her in the most informal way. Jenny Lind
is also a great favorite with the Queen and
the Royal family generally. Mme. Lind-
Goldschmidt has three children, one daugh
ter and two sons, none of them, however,
having the least musical talent. One is in
the armv.
There is little left of the once glorious
voice of Jenny Lind, and she rarely uses it
at all except in instructing some pupil how
to render a passage of a song. Bhe is a most
charitable woman, and for some years has
hail a class of ten poor girls whom she
teaches twice a week at her own home, and
prepares for opera and concert. She is
however, very careful in selecting for this
class only those who have very decided
talent and unusual natural voice. The fail
ing health of the "greatest singer that has
ever lived” will deprive many a poor girl of
her valuable instruction, and perhaps tho
musical world of some brilliant star.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, ISS7.
LEATHER FROM HUMAN SKIN.
A Flourishing Pennsylvania Tannery
Where It is Prepared for the Shoe
maker.
Emm the Philadelphia Ncirs.
I remember that two or three years ago I
incidentally referred to a prominent physi
cian of this city wearing shoes made from
the skin of negroes. He still adheres to that
custom, insisting that the tanned hide of an
African makes the most enduring and the
most pliable leather known to man.
Only last week I met him upon the street
with a brand new pail - of shoes. I looked
at his foot wear, as 1 always and pedal
covering havo an irresistible fascination for
me—anil said with u smile, “Is tho down
trodden African still beneath your feet;”
In the most matter-of-fact way, and with
out the shadow of a smile, he answered, “I
suppose you mean to inquire if I still wear
shoes made of tho skin of a negro. I cer
tainly do, and 1 don’t propose changing in
that respect until I find a leather that is
softer and will last longer and present a
lietter appearance. I have no sentiment
about this matter. Were I Southerner —in
the American sense of that word—l might
lie accused of being actuated by a race prej
udice. But I am a foreigner by birth, al
though now an American citizen by natural
ization. I fought in the civil war that the
blacks might be freed. 1 would use a white
man’s skin for the same purpose if it were
sufficiently thick, and if any one has a de
sire to wear my epidermis upon his feet
after I have drawn my last breath he has
my ante-mortem permission. ”
’The doctor’s shoes always exhibit a pecu
liarly rich lustrousness iu their blackness.
He assures me that they never hurt his feet.
The new pair he was using when I last saw
him emitted no creaking sound and ap
peared as comfortable as though they had
been worn a month. Their predecessors, he
told me, had been iu constant, use for eight
months. He obtains the skin from the
bodies of negroes which have been dissected
in one of our big medical colleges. Thejbest
leather is obtained from the thighs. The
solos are formed by placing several layers
of leather together. The skin is prepared
by a tanner at Womelsdorf, sixteen miles
from Reading. The shoos are fashioned by
a French shoemaker of this city, who knows
nothing of the true character of the leather,
but who often wonders at its exquisite
smoothness and says it excels the finest
French calfskin.
Do not for a moment think that this doc
tor presents ail exceptional case of one who
puts the huinun skin to practical use. Medi
cal students frequently display a great
variety of articles in which the skin or
bones of some dissected mortal has been
grupsomely utilized, and in bursts of gener
osity they sometimes present them to their
friends, who prize them highly. One of the
dudest dudes in town carries a match safe
covered with a portion of the skin of a
young woman who was found
drowned in the Delaware river. It still
retains its natural color. Another young
man with whom I am acquaintofl car
ries a cigar case made of negro skin, a
ghastly skull and cross-bones appearing on
one side in relief. One of the best known
surgeons in this country, who resides in
this city, has a beautifnl instrument case
entirely covered with leather made from
an African's skin. A young society
lady of this city wears a beautiful pair of
dark slippers, the remarkable lustrousness
of whose leather invariably excites the ad
miration of her friends when they see them.
The young doctor who presented them to
her recently returned from an extended
foreign tour, and he told her that he had
purchased them from a Turk in Alexandria
and that he did not know - what sort of
leather they were made of, but he supposed
it was the skin of some wild animal. Asa
matter of fact, the skin came from a negro
cadaver which once was prone on a Jeffer
son College dissecting table, and the leather
was prepared in Womelsdorf. The rosettes
on the slippers were deftly fashioned from
the negro's kinky hair.
ROBBERS TAKE A TRAIN.
The Unpleasant Experience of Trav
elers on a Pennsylvania Railroad.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Greensburg, Pa., Oct. 3.—The passen
gers on a way train running on the Se wickley
branch of the Southwestern railroad had a
rather terrifying experience early this morn
ing. It reminded them of stories they had
read of banditti, highwaymen and road
agents, who make things more or less inter
esting to travelers in stage coaches and rail
road trains on the distant frontiers. There
were pistols and bowie-knives and razors in
the air, and the engineer and his fireman,
three brakemen, and the few pas
sengers on board the train wore kept in an
unwonted state of excitement for several
hours. The Sewickley road, which is a
little branch only ten miles long, runs
through tho Pleasant Unity coke field.
There are plenty of lonesome places along
the road, and it was at one of these points,
while the train wrs running at a slow rate
early this morning, that a band of negroes,
variously estimated at from twenty-five to
thirty, jumped aboard, and caused a
panic by their villainous demonstrations.
The party had been lying concealed
among the bushes that line the road,
and at given signal from their leader,
a tall, herculean fellow with a coal black
skin, they jumped aboard. Three of the
party, with drawn revolvers, entered the
cab of the engine and held the engineer and
firemen in check, while the rest of the gang
scattered themselves through the train and
collected the money and valuables of the
passengers. As there were only a few of
the latter on board no attempt at resistance
was made, and the robbers didn’t get much
booty.
After they had secured about everything
of value on the train the fellows, who were
more op less drunk, proceeded to drive the
engineer and fireman from the engine, and
for two hours a drunken ruffian kept control
of the throttle, running it up and down the
road, most of the time at a frightful rate of
speed.
There are no houses or signs of life for
several miles along the road, and the en
gineer and fireman, who ran away as soon
as they had been driven from their posts,
were unable to give an alarm in time to ap
prehend the lawless band. The frightened
passengers meanwhile sat helpless in the
cars, in continuous fear of their lives. At
one time the drunken engineer ran the train
close to the little town of Mutual. A child
that was playing along the track was struck
by the cowcatcher and hurled a distance of
twenty feet, but, fortunately, onh" had
its arm broken. When a few min
utes later a mule that was placidly
feeding on the weeds that luxuriate
between the ties of the rickety old road-lied
was struck and instantly killed the whole
crowd of drunken darkies sot up n yell of
delight and the engine was almost derailed.
It was nearly 10 o’clppk when the negroes
got t ired of their drunken sport, and aban
doned tho train. They left it about half way
up the branch, at a deserted spot, and the
passengers had to get off and walk to the
nearest station and recite their unpleasant,
if exciting, experience, which hud lasted
several hours. Officers are scouring the
region in search of the audacious band.
A Useful Precaution.
It Is a useful precaution for the tourist, the
commercial traveler, or the emigrant to the
West, to take along Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. Invalids who travel by steamboat or rail
should provide themselves with it, in order to
prevent or remedy the nausea which the jarring
and vibration of vehicles in transitu oiten
cause them. Vastly preferable Is It for this
simple, but needful purpose, to the heady un
medicated stimulants of commerce. On board
ship it uot only remedies seasickness but neu
tralizes the pernicious effects of water slightly
brackish, which, if unqualified, is apt to give
rise to irregularities of the bowels, cramps in t he
abdominal region and dyspepsia. To the aerial
poison of malaria it is an efficient, antidote.
Sick headache, heartburn and wind upon the,
stomach are promptly banished by it. It health -
fully stimulates tbu kidneys and bladder, and
nullifies the early symptoms of rheumatism.
