THE FASTEST TINE ON RECORD.

Mr.. Frank Works TIE m, Dick Swlveller
and Edward, Make a Mile in ZIG "a.
New York, July I6r--Turfmen and others
owning fast horses were interested yesterday
in. the unparalleled rotting of MIR, Frank
Works team. Dick SwivcRer and Edward, at
the Gentlemen's Driving Pare. Every day
the owners Of fast horses meet and discuss the
merits of their stock there. The number pres
ent was larger than usual yesterday at about
o'clock, when Mr. Works team was logged
by. Mr.. Shepherd S. Knapp offered to wager
Mr.. Work $1,000 that the team could not trot
in 2:2o. Mr.. Worth accepted the wager, and
put John Murphy behind the team in good
road wagon. The judges were Messrs. Bush,
Morgan and Alley, and over one hundred
gentlemen prepared to time the trot. The
horses were in tptop condition, and everything
was favorable for fast time; but few men were
willing to bet that the team would trot in 2:2o.
When everything was in readiness Murphy let
them out, and they whizzed by the line at a
rafting pace. Murphy carried $Is3H pounds,
which was overweight. The. first quarter was
made in SIX seconds, the half in 1905, the
three-duarters in I:4o, and the full mile in
2:I64-by long odds the fastest time in the
world for team. Great excitement prevailed
among the spectators, many of them insisting
that the team did better than 2;I6A. Ben
Mace insisted that the team trotted in
2:I6 3-5.

Rsversss Of u New YO X Lady.


A comely woman now acting as chamber
maid in hotel on Rockaway Beach has
passed through an extraordinary experience.
Her maiden name was Van Buren,, and Presi-
dent Van Buren, was brother of her grand
father. While schoolgirl at the Willard
seminary she became infatuated with man
name Elliott, who she married despite her
parents protest. With Elliott she removed
to California There her hus band, who had
considerable money, in stock speculations,
and with such dazzling success that Mrs.
Elliott participated. Each investment yielded
golden returns, and the Elliotts soon became
noted for their hospitality, elegant residence
horses, carriages and other manifold Comforts
of the wealthy. As usual in such cases there
was sudden turn Of fortunes wheel, MIR.
Elliott came out Of one mining speculation
with $4,000 less than when he entered.
Other losses followed. and to meet the demand
of creditors, real estate, horses, diamonds, and
even costly clothes, were sacrificed. The VIC
tim of speculation and his wife two years ago
reached New York in destitute circumstances.
Since then she has eked out an existence as
best she could. Relatives have offered her a
home, but her proud spirit refused the shelter.
Last week she was employed at the Atlas
Hotel, where, in calico wrapper, glngham
apron and white cap, she appeared as con-
tented as when rolling in wealth on the Pacific
slope. A New York merchant, acquainted
with her history, offered his hand in marriage.
She refused on the ground that she made
death-bed promise to her unfortunate husband
that she would never marry again.

A Very Esthetic Volume.

Mrs. Haweis, the wife OF the reverend au-
thor of emusic and Morals" is unquestion-
ably the most aesthetic woman in all England.
She is the author of volume on the art OF
dress, in which she advises women to throw
away their Worth dresses and assume the
draperies of ancient Greece. Her whole life
is spent in the assiduous cultivation of the
sunhower and the lily, and she is one of
the most ardent admirers of the supreme
" precious to be found even in the
aesthetic region of South kensington.
Mrs. Haweis keeps abreast Of the
times, and every book she writes has
a more striking cover and getup thin
the one before. The publishers have nearly
ready her last book, "Beautiful House." the
cover of which should make it necessary Or
nament Of every a ,thetic library table. 1t is
bound in vellum and lettered in red and black.
The letters are Of the most antique sort, and
look as though they had been carved out of
wood with q jack knife. Capitals and other
letters are run together in the most reckless
way; the whole is bounded by double red
lines. The ornamental designs inside the
book are lilies, and the initial letters are bits
of decoration from the houses described.
The preface is called "Fordwords," and the
table of contents 1.-THE Contents of this
Book" The outer edge and bottom of the
page have two-inch m,rgin with side holes.
and the catchword is printed at the foot of
the page. The type used for this very nsthet-
ic book is the oldest style, and the long 50 is
used to a maddening degree.
"Where is your father, my child?" "Oh,

lesson from Mr.. Gaiboy, for heard him tell
papa that if he would come to his room for a
little draw he would show him how to catch

Garibaldi's Isia, Il .

There may be more prosperous future in
stora for Caprera, now that It is to be renamed
Garibaldi. AT present it is but lonely in
hospitable tract of sterile soil of the Sandman
coast. There is but one habi able house there,
that which was tenanted by the dead general.
1t is with difficulty that few patches Of beans
and potatoes are cultivated; vegetation is
withered by the hot breath of the sirocco, and
the only familiar quadruped is the leau goat
browsing in the lea of some boulder of granite,
or nibbling at the spikes of the prickly cactus.
But the fame acquired by the islet, owing to
the renowned parsonage who honored it by
dying there. may he the means of lifting it to
an unexpected pitch of prosperity. Of course
there will be stately memorial to his honor.
Bits of his dwelling will be sold like the cement
picked from the walls of the chapel of Knock;
there is certain to be bazaar for the sale OF
souvenirs of the Hero of the Red Shirt, strips
OF his faded cbemise, w'lking sticks and snuff
boxes from his favorite tree, Garibald smok-
ing-caps and double eyeglasses, Garibaldi
ponchos and punch bowls, and the score OF
other attractive knickknacks dear to the visitor
to the birthplace of Podgers. Where individ-
uals congregate accommodation must be pro-
vided; the most emotional of aesthetics will not
be satisfied with diet of sunflowers; the visi-
tors will want food and beds, and thus this
solitary speck of meager md may become the
seat of monster joint. stock hotel, with steam
lifts, vapor baths, an American bar, and every
requisite of modern comfort complication

In Memoriam of Ada sta rford Taylor.

BY HENRY RYDER-TAYLOR.
In affliction's dark and solemn hour,
Was Ada born to cheer,
To comfort then weary heart,
To stay affections tear,
Fen as ray Of golden hope;
She came with summer flowers,
Shedding joyous, light at home.
And on ife's lonely hours;
Brief was her life-ere six months sped
Death claimed her as his prey,
And to the realms of light and love,
Our darling bore away.
When first the seed of death was sown,
Her parents long imPlored,
That God would spare'their loved ones life
That health might be restored.
The answer came. twas sad but kind,
And spoken in the heart, 30.
And though il brought its.weight ofwoe,
1t did sweet peace impart:
1.-THE world thou know'st is wicked Still,
Temptations there aye rife, =
Lies struggles they are,hafd and fierce,
And bitter is the strife; -
IT'S better that thy little one "
Should rest secure in me.
Should share my home Of endless bliss
From Sin and sorrow tree."
Amen our senses said, but still
Affection needs must weep;
Whilst Ada eased of all her pain,
In Jesus fell asleep.
In Eccles now her body ljes,
Meath mound and simple weeds,
Her soul has passed unto her God,
And with the Saviour pleads
For parents and for friends in life,
Who loved her so we'll,
That they may come and share her joys,
And in that Eden dwell.
Yes, Ada, thy fond parents knit
Firm in strong ties Of love,
Live as they'd die. to God drawn near,
To meet thee soon above.
He that called children to his arms,
And babe them all be blessed,
Cries also to the weary soul,
And offers heavenly rest.

Tho Crop Reports for July.

IA0 crop h0pOfto IOf july
The completed report of the department
of agriculture on tho condition of crops
for the month of July shows that there is
an increased area of potatoes in nearly
every state aud territory, the natural effect
of the high price. This increase amounts
to about seven per cent. Condition is
also high, falling little short of 100 any,
where, and averaging 102.
There is an increase in the breadth of
sweet potatoes, especially in the Southern
states west of the Mississippi. Condition
is high south and west of South Carolina,
but not up to the average IN any of the
Atlantic states north of South Carolina.
The acreage of tobacco is nearly the
same as in 1881. Condition is high in
Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina,
but below average in the Connecticut
valley, Marylard and Virginia. - - -...
In sorghum there is some increase of
area in the south, a small decrease north
of the Ohio. with a small advance west of
the Missouri. Condition is somewhat be-
low average generally, except in tho South
ern states. -t' >. "tH' '
Apples and peaches will be fairly abund-
ant. The Delaware and Maryland crops
of peaches may exceed 1000, 900 baskets.
A medium crop will be gathered in the
Michigan, Illinois and Missouri peach
regions. Condition of fruit is better west
of tho Mississippi than in the Ohio valley.
As usual there is great local variation in
condition.

IT used to be that just about the time
the Democrats, had a chance they threw
it away. Things have changed. Now
adays when people expect them to make
fools of themselves they don't do it.
Here in Pennsylvania when the prophets
were predicting that the state conven-
tion would 60 all wrong, it went all right.
1t nominated a good ticket on a good
platform, and started in the campaign
under bright auspices which have not
been dimmed. In Ohio, yesterday,
the expected explosion did not take
place. Each of the factions that were
trying to get the party by the ears got a
brain.clout to teach its members some
sense, and each got enough recognition
to prevent the effects of the blow from
being fatal. The convention seems to
have run itself {; it gave the factionists
to understand that none of them was as
big as the whole party, nominated a good
ticket and put it on a sound platform,
which has no soft money nor soft soap
nonsense in it. Down in Georgia, where
there was to have been trouble accord
ing to Republican alculations-over the
nomination Of Alex II. Stephens for
governor, the little old man had a walk
over, his opponents gracefully joining in
the reunion. Everything seems to be
lovely. Our troubled Republican friends
have our commiseratiOn.
