THE RACES.
CALIFORNIA VS.. KENTUCKY
Mollie Mccarthy Wins = Investiga-

The Great Race.

Chicago. June 26.-It is estimated
that from $50, 900 to 800, 600 changed
hands on the result of to-day's races
chiefly on the Garden cup race, which
excited intense interest. The speed
and bottom of the California mare
Mollie Mccarthy, was surprise tc
most of the spectators.
The Inter Ocean says: "There was q
great rivalry between the bluegrass
crowd and those of the Golden state,
born of the celebrated Ten Brock
Mollie Mccarthy affair last year. Col.
: Conley had been SO much and so un-
justly abused about the Louisville race
that he naturally felt great interest
in the contest, and was very much dis
appointed when the mare showed herself
in bad form about week before the
meeting opened. He was more anx-
ious because he had induced Mr.. Bald
win TO bring bis stable thousands of
miles from the Pacific coast, for this
meeting exclusively, and all concerned
felt that such enterprise should meet
with some reward. 1t was unfortunate
for Kentucky men that it was an undis-
puted fact that the mare was in bad
form ten days ago, and although within
the last few days she has rounded up
sufficiently to give her hackers conf
dence, the fanclers of Janet and Dave
Moore refused to believe it. The result
was that fully $4,000 went into the
box against Mccarthy, against less
than $4,000.
When Feakes walked up to the post
stand seated upon the mare, the crowd
cheered. 1t was not the betting men
that clapped their hands, but the disin-
terested spectators that paid the trib-
ute to gallant racer for what she had
done in the past. Walker, who piloted
Ten Brock at Louisville, came up
soon after on Janet and this time the
hackers of the favorite set up cheer.
The mare did not act well, and as she
took her place on the outside she back
ed around in an uneasy, nervous man
ner. Walkers whoa, steady lady, did
not sooth her much. On the contrary,
the queen of the Pacific, while on the
alert, acted in the most docile manner,
and many pool was taken on her
waiting for the tap of the drum.
At the end of the two miles blood be-
gan to tell and Mollie challenged the
leaders for the front. 1t was her race
and she took it when she wanted to,
although Dave Moore came up and
made gallant fight, coming within an
ace of saving the glory of Kentucky.
Cheer after cheer went up when Feakes
rode up and took the purse.

of the fraud, stopped the printing,
seized copy, and is now investigating.
Elliott f. Shepherd is mentioned as
knowing something about the matter,
but as he is absent in Europe his knowl-
edge cannot be tested.

New York, June 26.-Another very
satisfactory return of exchanges at the
clearing houses gives evidence that the
increase in the volume of business was
nearly as large in the third week Of
June as in either of the preceding
weeks this month. The gain in COM
parison with the corresponding week
last year, is two and three-quarter per
cent, and no part of this increase is
due to speculative dealings iu stocks at
New York.

THE MINERS CABIN.

The next morning at sunrise Jim
was getting breakfast for himself and
partner at the shanty where they
"bachelored." Buff had not yet risen
from his bunk on the back side of
the shanty. Jim White seemed to
be cooking very scientifically over a
fire built in the bottom of a large
stone chimney, which served as the
only window when the door was
shut In the hot ashes were buried
some potatoes. Two large slices of
ham were frying in two-legged spi-
der. A coffee pot stood glowing up
on the Goals in the opposite corner
of the fireplace. In one end of the
shanty was pile of potatoes upon
the ground; and over the pile of pc.
tatoes there was hanging a ham, a
shoulder of pork and a saddle of ven.
ison. The table was such an one as
might be made in ten minutes with
an ak and augur; beng simply an
oaken board with four oaksn legs in
serted IN as many sugur holes.
There is no time when thought
bubbles up in the mind as after a re-
freshing sleep.
"Ha! ha! hal" laughed Buff Iis
ing aud laughing.
"Why, what are you laughing at,
Buff ?" inquired Jim.
"Why." says Buff, "when saw
you trying to get breakfast in the
awkward way that men always do, l
could not help thinking what an ex-
cellent invention a woman is! A
thought has struck me.

Cause and Cure Of snoring.

A writer in the Scientific Monthly
tells how the habit of snoring is &C.
quired, and-be:ter still-how it may
be cured.
"And, first, the cause The air
reaches the lungs through two chan
nels, the nose and the mouth. The
two currents meet in the throat be-
low the soft of the palate, the end of
which hangs loose and swings back
ward and forward, producing the
snoring. If the air reaches the lungs,
as it should, through the nose, no
noise will be made. II it reaches the
same through the mocth, the palate
makes more noise. since it isnot the
natural channel, bui when il rushes
through both these channels then it
is that the sound sleeper hanishes
rest from the pillows of his compAn-
ions by his hideous noise. The rem
edy for snoring is to keep the mouth
closed; and for this purpose DIR.

ferred to, has invented an article so
cheap that any one can make IT, AMI

consists of single cap, fitting The
head snuggly, and piece OF soft ma
terial fitting the chin. These are
connected by elastic webbing, which
is connected with the head cap near
the ears. This continuance prevents
the jaw from dropping down, and
thereby renders snoring impossible.
The great trouble will be to get PEG.
pie to adopt this invention, since the
most upright and honest OF men and
women will rarely, if ever, confess
that they snore, and will be very in

may be added that breathing through

How the Guebre Fire Worship was
Overthrow.

"A curl GUS story is
current in the eastern portion of Gen.
trail Asia respecting the overthrow of
the Guebre fire worship, once pre-.
dominant there by the Buddhist
creed imported from China. Whether
historically true or not, the tale is at
least thoroughly characteristic of the
people and the country which pro-
duced it. 1t was the custom of the
Gueb-es to insist that whenever any
attempt was made to introduce for
eign god the newcomers image
should be brought into direct con-
tact with their sacred fires and that
the votaries of the conquered deity
should at once quit the field. For
many years the fire had the best of
it aud the unfortunate gods who
faced it either crumbled to ashes or
melted away according to the mater
ial of which they were composed. At
length colony of Chinese Buddhists
came from the east and the usual
test was applied to their sacred i'm
age. But the high priest of Buddha
thinking that the latter's divine pow
err might be none the worse for lit
tie secular aid, had previously filled
the image with water and stopped
with wax the tiny holes which per-
forated its sides. Accordingly the
moment the wax melted the hitherto
invincible fire began to hiss and sput-
ter in very unpromising way and
finally went out altogether, whereup-
on its crestfallen worshippers instant
ly abandoned the field to their oppo.

had been dug north of that over
which the windlass stood. BY the
side OF the windlass was a hat, and
hanging on bush near by was q

six inches long slit in the breast of it.
The man at the windlass wound up

appeared to be the half of barrel
sawed into, with rope bail. The

then siezed the tub by the bail,
swung it onto the platform with his

The Peanut Trade.

A quarter of century ago peanuts
were obtained chiefly from Africa
Now the African nuts are sent to
Marseilles and used for making olive
oil, which is sent TO America as the
genuine article. In those DAYS nuts
were grown in America only in small
quantities, chiefly by the negroes Of
Virginia, North Carolina and Ten
nessee, and were sold by them to oh
tain spending money Now the i'm.
mense production of American pea
mute, together with their superior
quality, has driven the African nuts
from the market. The best nuts come
from Virginia. A few years ago
scarcely any but Washington nuts
were sold; now there is scarcely any
call for them. Tennessee is also
source of supply, but none are re-
ceived here from that State, as the
raisers can get a better price for them
at Nashville. These nuts are not as
expensive as those raised in Virginia,
and are not as bright, but they are
richer, and many prefer them. Some
nuts also come here from the West
Indies, Curacao being the chief source
of supply. Five years ago the pea
nut crop of Tennessee was not far
from It's 900 bushels, that of North
Carolina so, 900, and that, OF Virginia
225,000 The estimated crop tor the
present season is as follows Ten
nessee, 100000 bushels; North Car.
DINA, 10000; Virginia, 1000, 0o0.-
The street vendors usually hug from
ole to five sacks at time and some
times as higa as from ten to twenty
sacks. A sack contains four bushels,
or 1z8 quarts of peanuts. and is sold
at from 81 to $l.lo per bushel, 50

the dealer calculates to make forty
quarts out of every bushel in the sack,

five cents per quart, the dealer will
