The New York Mail says of the COM
inc Philadelphia exposition:
Only a fifty cent note viii be received
for admission. No change win be re-
ceived, made or given by the honest
men at the door.
The Queens pictures are to be guard
ed day and night by squad o police
men. They are said to be heavily in
sured in eight different English com
panies.
Thes parties who got the catalogue
have a big bonanza The advertise
ments will pay nearly seventy-four thou
sand dollars, and this is exclusive of the
sale of the book en- the grounds.
There are now some doubts as to
whether everything will be ready at the
appointed time. These doubts are al
most wholly confined to disinterested
spectators.
1t is feared that there will be too
many fees exacted on the grounds, and
that foreigners viii have barely enough
left to pay their hotel bills and get
home.
A Philadelphia paper says "a polite
Justice will sit on the grounds Continu-
ally" Why not let him up now and
then to exercise his legs and relieve the
grounds?
Give the hotel keepers a wide berth.

sible can. Go to a bOrding house, or,
better still, visit some relative.

The New Empress.

A New York Herald London telegram
SAWS: The theatrical trick of Disraeli
to signalize his ministry by comforting
the title of Empress of India" on the
Queen of England is not the easy or
pleasant task that he anticipated. The
discussion wakes violent on all sides, and
those who were Indifferent a month ago
whether the queen was called Padizhah
of Hindostan or Begun of Bhopal have
now convinced themselves either that
the new title is a dangerous innovation
or q necessary assumption In name OF
what is already a matter of fact. 1t is
discussed vehemently by those who in
LOYAL haste to indorse it, add couple
Of "h's' and a final or" to it, saying
f" Hempress of Hindiar," or by those
who belittle it as throwing away title
on the blacks of 'Indostan.
The opposition in the house OF COM
mons had undoubtedly gained ground
since the last debate, as was seen IN the
discussion on the third reading of the
bill, which, contrary to their expressed
discrimination, they forced upon the
house. The government has, however, a
safe majority in the house OF lords,
where the debate on the subject is UNI
paralleled for invectiye and satire.
In connection with the statement
freely made that an amnesty will be
granted to the imprisoned Fenians on
fhe proclamation Of the imperial title, !
NAV state that the secretary of the home
deDartment has called for reports from
ltbe directors of the convict prisons upon
the arrest, trial, conviction and su6se-
ouent behavior in Jail of the Fenians
still incarCerated. This is held by a
great many to fOrebOde their release.

HAmBLETONIAN.
Ena q G.s mIaaarseg. career q Derter-s

-- - 80 - 49, ~4--17-4 - AleA-AeA =
The celebrated stallion Hambletoniau,
which died at Chester, New York, March
18th, was f0aIed May 9Th, 1919, at Su-
gar Loaf, near Chester, Orange county,
New York. When five weeksold he was
purchased with his dam for Sl25, by Mr..
William M Rysdyk, Bfr. Jonas seeIey
being heOriginal owner. Since the time
Of this puEchase the horse has been con
tinuOUsly the property Of the Rysdyk
family, and was at the time Of his death
owned by Mrs. Rysdyk. When three
years old the horse had been harnessed
but four times. At this age he trOtted
at the Union course, Long Island, IN
2:48I. It was his first appearances on
track, and he was very shy Of the track
fence. For this reason his owner did not
probably get his best speed. HambletO-
nian was early put to the stud. When
two years old he was bred to four mares,
three Of which produced, and two Of the
colts lived to tTOt in 2:30. The famous
Abdallah stallion, owned by Mr.. Alex
ander, Of WOOdbuTD farm, Kentucky,
was one of these. When three years old
HambletOnian had covered seventeen
mares, thirteen Of which produced fOals.
From this time he was devoted exclu-
gively to the stud, ard became the pro-
genitOr of many of the best trOtting
horses Of America, and may be said to
have done more than any OSher horse to
improve American trOtting stock.
Among his most Industrious descendants
are Dexter, George Wilkes, Bruno, Bru-
nette, Mai. Winfield, Volunteer, Shark,
the stallion Jay Gould, Florida, and
Happy Medium. He was altogether the
father of about 800 horses. He stood
for $500 q season, and was generally linn
tied to seventy mares. As long ago IS
1856 he had Melted for his owner over
$3.50, 900, and he was kept in active ser
vice until his death, earning annually
nearly $50, 600 Hamblet0nian was the
son Of Old Abdallah. Young Abdallah,
AbdeI Kader, bred in 1S47 By Cornelius
Davis, and Rather were his halfbrOth-
ers. His pedigree was asfOllows: Ham
bletOnian, bay horse, fOalad May 5, 1S49,

Kent mare; second dam, One Eye; third
dam, Silver Tail. he was q clOsely-in-
bred horse on both sides. Mr.. Rysdyk,
/ his second owner, died in 1872, and made

should upon his death be stuffed and
presented to the commissioners Of Cen
trail Park. As it was the wish of hislate
owner, MIR. Rysdyk, that the horse should
be buried on the estate, grave was dug
tor him in the afternoon behind the barn
where he lived so long. A large box was
made for his body, and he was buried
/ Wednesday. An offer of 81, 900 was
made for his hide, which was refused, the
peCulative genius no doubt wishing pro
badly to exhibit it around the country.

A RAILROAD AT SEA-A singular
sight il now presented to passengers on
the California Pacific trains between
Davisyille and Sacramento. For miles
the road passes through q broad sea
stretching for an immense distance on
either side. The water averages three or
four feet in depth. In some places the
top rail of fences Is alone visible, and Oe-
casiOnally houses may be seen islanded
in the vast ocean and cut off from all APP
prOach save by boats. The water is not
merely stationary, but moving down the
valley with more or less rapidity. There
is apparently a hundred times more
water ON the tules than in the Sacrament
to river itself, aud the reflection is natu-
rally suggested that If all the swamp ana
tule land on the western bank Of the
river should be reclaimed and protected
from overflow BY dykes, the water con-
fined IN such q narrow channel would
rise to an unprecedented height and del.
uEe the streets Ok Sacramento, although
there has been no rainfall for over q
week the water draws OF from the tules
very slowly, and during the last few
days the fall has been very slight Yale

India cotton Wannfaetures.

The New York Bulletin, in arecent ed
itorial on g India Cotton Manufactures,
makes this statement and argument
in 1901 there were eleven cotton
mills in India in 1S74-7 the number
had been increased to fOrty-One. Even
within the short period from July, 1874,
to November, 1874, the capital invested
in factories had risen from 22,O85, 900
rupees to IS, 6S5, $50 rupees. Evidently,
the fact that alarms Manchester is that
the manufacture of cotton goods in India
IS found very profitable which argues
its continued extension. The India mill
has every disadvantage in respect to
cost, interest and fuel. A factory built
there, say with 5000 spindles and 10O,-
600 looms, would cost s200. 900 in Eng
land the same wOald cost 100000. IL
is estimated that the India mill would
have sl2,500 more interest and deprecia-
ton charge, and that It's fuel would cost
sS, 500 more, than would one of the same
CAPACITY In Lancashire; making q total
disadvantage Of co, 900. But ii is adj
mitted that the India mill saves s45, 900
on the double transit of material and
product, as compared with Manchester;
showing balance in favor Of the India
factory of co, 900. Estimating the value
of the product at $500, 900, this shows
an advantage Of per cent. in favor OF
the India made goods. This E24, 600,
however, is not all the Manchester trade
has to overcome. The import duty of 8
percen4 representsanOther els, 600 added
to the cost Of che sS00, 900 product OF
the mill which augments the advantage
in favor of the India mill to ESQ, coo, or
is per cent. of the value of the goods.
These estimates relate entirely 10 q mill
making coarse goods, and do not apply
to finer makes. in which India has not
vet demonstrated its ability to compete
with Manchester, and perhaps is not
likely to do for some time.
The foregoing figures are based on
Manchester estimates and the misfOr-
tune for Manchester is that they prove
too much for its case. They show that
the recovery of this lost trade Il hopeless,
with or without the duty. India mas
eyery chance in its favor for improving
its products and reducing their cost 50
that whatever Manchester may do toward
cheapening its goods Is likely to be set of
BY further economies in the India maT a.
facture. On the face Ot these facts, it
appears as though Manchester must re-
gard its trade with India in coarse cotton
goods as gone and the only question is
what chance has India Of ultimately in
tFenching on other branches Of England !
cotton tTade2 This is i question that
has partial significance to American
manufacturers. Before the war, we were
accustomed to export to India consider
able quantities OF the class of goods in
which India ID now beating England !
clearly, under changed circumstances,
our hope of regaining that market Is
slight. Moreover, there is this question
whether, with her superior eheapness,
India may not ultimately compete with
England and ourselves IN some Of the
other Asiactie markets which consume
largely Of heavy cotton fabrics. he
problem is an interesting enc, and it, So
luton win bear watching.
