CALIFORNIA; FAMOUS TROTTER.
The Story Of 'St. Julisn's" Purchase by the
Man Who First Put Him on the Track.
New York SUM-


NEWBURGH, October Goth. =
The wonderful performance of
the trotter "St. Julian" on the Oak
land track in California yesterday,
in the presence of Gen Grant, who
cheered Justify after the horse had
made mile in 2:124, the fastest
time on record, recalls to mind the
story of st. Julian's purchase by
Mr.. Galway, who first put him on
the turf. Mr.. Galway was then
the owner of the half-mile trotting
track at Goshen, this county. The
track was kept in good condition,
and when it was not used for races,
scores of village horsemen and
farmers, who believed they had
colts who were destined to be fu-
ture kings and queens Of the turf,
daily visited 1t to take spin and
show the metal of their colts. None
took more interest in these Inn
promptu scrub-races than the
owner of the track. One fine day,
when the track was in good condi-
ton, an aged farmer, somewhat d.
lapidated in appearance, drove on
1t in an old wagon behind hand
some colt. AS he whirled around
the track Mr.. Galway kept his eyes
riveted upon the colt for some
time. The colts splendid gait,
beautiful style of acting and
speed interested Mr.. Galway so
much that when the stranger drove
up to him he hailed him to stop,
md made inquiries about the colt.
The farmer gave his pedigree, and
said he was the "bossn in those
parts. Mr.. Galway asked If he was
for sale, and the farmer replied
that he was If the price was OBJ
tanned. Mr.. Galway then requested
that he be "sent" around the track
twice more. With this the stran-
ger seemed only too happy to COM
ply. AS the colt glided swiftly
around again Mr.. Galway held his
watch on him, and the result salts
fled him that he was a remarkable
colt, and he determined to buy him
| If possible. When the stranger
pulled up again he questioned Mr..
| Galway as to how he liked the
COLTS movements. Mr.. Galway
answered that he liked them very
| well, and then asked the farmer
what his price was for the trotter.
The farmer said that il he could
not get 5000 for him he would keer
him. "The horse is mine," quickly
responded Mr.. Galway, and he ther
and there bought and paid for him,
both being pleased with the bar
gain. Mr.. Galway put the horse
in training, and the following sea
son entered him in the trotting cir
cult OF that year. He trotted In
every race, at Cleveland, Buffalo

1t has ever been predlcated by
scientists (?l that because colors
could never be reproduced by the
process of photography that it had
no objective existence, and that
it was all sensation as produced by
the refrangibility of light-that the
refracted rays striking against the
retina were communicated by the
optic nerve to the brain, and that
the rapidity with which these wave
rays struck the the retina produced
the sensation known to US as red,
blue, etc. Those, however, who de-
sire to see old ideas exploded and
new truths demonstrated should
call at No. s Aliso street, the

p0nent parts of each sunbeam and

the ocean enabling its proprietor to
supply his guests with every varie-
ty of fish common to this coast, in
cluding many kinds noted for their
excellence. 1t is the labor of the
proprietor to insure his guests the
comforts of home. The extreme
mildness and salubrity of the fall

sary to the comfort and restoration
to health of invalids. The COM
pIetest bathing establishment on
the Pacific Coast lies just in front
of the hotel, on the beach. Here

An Incident of the Zulu War.

The most extraordinary incident con-
nected with the massacre was the mar
row escape of Commandant Lonsdale.
who notified Lord Chelmsford. Com
mandant Lonsdale was quietly return
ing to camp-he had been ill-was
tired, and was slowly Jogging along with
the sort OF lazy perseverance character
istic of tired traveller. He had crossed
the small waterwash to the south of the
camp, when his attention was attracted
by bullet passing rather near to him,
and on looking up he saw black man
who had evidently just fired. The real
truth was, of course, far from his mind,
and he merely thought it was one of
his own contingent carelessly firing
off his rifle, and pursued his way. To
some extent the incident seems fortu-
nately to have woke him up, and, al
though he saw what seemed to be our
redcoats sitting in groups in and around
the tents, he kept his eyes open, and,
when absolutely within ten yards of
the tents, he saw great black Zulu
come out Of one with bloody assegai
in his hand. This made him look about
him more closely, aud he saw that black
men and black men only were the wear
ers of red coats. The truth flashed upon
him; he could read the scowl of
hatred upon every face, but his self-pos-
session does not seem to have failed
him, for, quietly turning his pony round,
he galloped off before the enemy were
aware Of his intention. A hundred and
fifty shots are said to have been fired at
him as he did so, but by the mercy of
Providence he escaped, and was thus
enabled to warn the General and SO
save his life and the lives of those with
him. Undoubtedly had not such warn
ing been given, Lord Chelmsford, &C
companied by his staff and the troops
with him, would have walked without
suspicion into the skillful trap thus
laid, aud in such circumstances few
would have escaped. .t -..

A Whales Strength.

The tremendous power of the whale
when enraged is illustrated by the tale
of collision with one that resulted in
the loss of the ship Essex, of Nantucket.
In November, 1920, this ship was among
the whales and three boats were lows,
cred. A young whale was taken. Shortly
after another of great size, supposed to
have been the dam of the one just
killed, came against the ship with such
violence as to tear away part of the
false keel. It then remained some time
alongside, endeavoring to grip the ship
in its jaws, but, failing to make any i'm.
preston, swan off about quarter of
mile, when, suddenly turning about, it
came with tremendous velocity toward
the Essex. The conclusion not only
stopped the vessels way, but actually
forced her astern. Every man on deck
was knocked down; the bows were com
pletely stove in. In few minutes the
vessel filed and went on her beam
ends. sf <ts "ts't ~.

the United States law which was en-
acted after the people of New York had
been robbed by Tweedism in 1868.
1t is no new thing for the Democratic
party TO seek success by fraud. Every
atIempt to secure more fair and hon
est expression of the popular will has
always been resisted by that party as "a
restraint upon the liberty of the citizen"
Inc registration of voters was thus re-
sisted by Democrats everywhere. and
denounced with unmeasured bitterness.
and the repeal of such laws was attempt-
ed by that party in every State where
they recovered power after Republicans
had provided for registry. There is not
one other feature in which the two great
parties are as sharply divided. by all
their past history, as they are in respect
to the purity of elections. Republicans
have exposed and punished fraud
by Republicans, and enacted laws
to prevent repetition of fraud. Dem
ocrats, for half century, have ex-
cused or defended the perpetrators of
fraud in their interest, and stubbornly
resisted every effort to restrain or pun
ISL them. 1t is very fitting that the
party which tried to get the Presidency
in 1876, by bribing canivassers and
electors, should now propose to stop
the Government altogether unless per-
mltted to steal the Presidency. And it
is peculiarly fitting, if Mr.. Tilden is to
be the candidate of that party-thevery
man whose most intimate friends tried
to buy votes for him in 1876-that the
prominent issue of the campaign should
be whether Democrats shall be sustained
in destroying the Government unless
permitted to swindle honest voters, and
to carry elections by fraud. With Mr..
Illden as candidate, and the repeal of
laws against fraud as a platform, the
Democratic party will, for the first
time, appear in its true colors.
