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 ing variation from “the hundred best looks'’ discussion. Pure old Scuppernong Wiueat Lester’s. 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. 1 u. iv, 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. Stiff Hate just out at BeUniger’s, 21 Whitaker street. CHEAP ADVERTISING. ONE CENTA WORD.
