Mrs. Bancroft, the actress, visited re-
Gently one of the most celebrated den-
lists in London, who seldom handles
any but aristocratic jaws, to have her
teeth examined and operated on. Know
ing the weakness of the expert, she ask
ed what his charge was, but he refused
to say until he had completed what was
but an inspection and some cleaning.
This done, he said his charge was $3.50
The artistic protested, and offered 500,
which, she said, was all the money she
had with her. She added that she had
brought 30 much because she was told
the charge would be exorbitant, and
provided h rself with sum expected
to meet the highest figure. She declares
that the fashionable dentist took the
800, and, clapping his back to the door,
would not allow her to leave until she
had signed note for the rest. The case
is to be heard in court.

Failure of Ban kers.

NEW YORK, August 14.-One of the
sensations Of to-day was the failure OF
the we'll known firm of George William
Ballou & Co., ofthis city and Boston.
The failure Is understood to have been
caused by the inability Of its customers
to make good their margins, and to the
fact that the firm has had considerable
money tied up In the Cincinnati, Toledo
and S.. Louis Narrow-Gauge Road,
which recently went intoa Receivers
hands
About ten thousand shares Of various
stocks were closed out under the rule
for their account, including Oregon
I -anscontinental, New York Central,
Denver and Rio Grande, Missouri Paci-
tic, Jersey Central, Wabash preferred
and Lake Shore.
1t is generally believed that the sus-
pension will not necessarily lead to any
other failures. It is stated that Ballou
& Co. were recently long of the market,
and turned bears at about the lowest
prices touched.
The firm Is composed Of William II
Bingham, the Board member; David
H. Darling, George William Ballou
and Allan s. Weeks. No definite par
ticulars could be obtained. The house
did a large business, and its customers
were principally bank Presidents
throughout the country, Boston capital
lists and New England estates.
A member of the firm said that the
trouble was merely temporary and that
everything would be Strengthened ont
in q few days.

CAPE MAY, Aug. 13. Among the ar
rivals today at the Stockton was Sena.
tor Bayard, of Delaware. He is in
sturdy health. The recent arrivals OF
prominent Democrats at Cape May
would give color to the Washington
Critics story that conference of the
shining lights of the party was to be
held here, were it not for the fact that
two of them are nursing eager anticipa-
tions for themselves, namely, Joel Par
ker and Senator Bayard.
Wade Hampton has been here, but he
left the same day he came with tiout
at the old ticket. Then came Senator
GroOme, who is still here, and now
Bayard appears upon the scene.
He said to-day that he was delighted
to be at Cape May, but had not come for
the purpose of participating In an old
ticket conference. His features indicate
more than surprise at the bare idea of
his aiding to galvanize the Tilden and
Hendricks corpse into life again.

Cool.lIes<,eti Ian .llord.

The escape Of two-hundred guests
and ofer one hundred servants from
the Kimball House, Atlanta, Ca,
which was entirely destroyed by tire ut
an early hour Sunday morning, without
the least injury to any one, Is said to
have been largely due to the thoughtful
ness of the proprietor, Mr.. l.. W..
Scoville, who was astir, early as 1t was,
and gave the most careful directions, 10
that every sleeping guest and employee
was afforded ample time to escape from
the burning building. Mr.. Scoville is
a young man, native of Lynchburg,
Va, and has had phenomenal success as
landlord for one OF his age. Besides
his pr0prietorship of the Kimball
House, Mr.. Scoville is joint owner OF
the Norvell and Arlington Houses,
Lynchburg, Va, the Buford House,
Charlotte, N. G., and the Duvall and
Everett Houses, Jacksonville, Fla, In
addition to which he has erected ard is
successfully running. q large summer
resort in Florida. Mr.. Scoville's per-
sonal loss by the Atlanta fire is about
SIS, 900, but this will not prove a serious
blow to a man Of his energy and nerve.
He has shown his patrons he can not
only cater for the wants Of the inneI
man, but that in the hour Of peril he IL
not unmindful of their safety. He has
set an example of coolness under trying
circumstances worthy alike Of praise
and emulation.

A ROYAL ED1cuFe.

The Anamite Tuduc, just deceased,
was curiosity among Emperors. The
two chief instutions of mis- palace were
his harem and his kitchen. He was an
old man, and only allowed his sacred
face to be seen by mandarins Of high
rank. His principal meal consisted OF
never fewer than 20 courses, among
which was his tavorite delicacy of roast
monkey. He frequently received a
fatted ape from his subjects as a present,
and nothing was more acceptable.
Among other strange food served up at
his table were the humps of camels, the
ms of sharks, varieties of snails, and a
spe les of red worms. The latter were
eaten alive. His manner of daily life
was said to be more luxurious than that
of his over lord, the Emperor Of China.

WABASH, THE RACING CALF.
How He AstOunded and Beat
TrOtting Horse With . Record.
L'rom tho phila Times

From the Phila Times.
Wabash, the two year-old calico calf
that is credited with mile racing rec
ord of 9 20, was brought to Philadelphia
on Monday by his owner, Colonel Char.
j. Burns, of Evansville, Indiana.
Wabash has won seven races offthe reel
this summer and was only beaten once.
On that occasion he fell down. At Bed
ford Park, on Wednesday last, he easi-
ly beat j. G. Mason's blk. g., "The
Major" mile in 2.20. After the race
Colonel Burns declined to accept an
offer OTIS, 800 for his tleet-tooted bovine.
The calf is early thirteen AMI half
hands high, his legs are like those OF
giraffe and his horns are tipped with
knickel-plated knobs. Colonel Burns
bought the calf when yearling from
an Indiana farmer, who was driving
the split-hoof trotter to sulky anu
beatingall ordinary roadsters with ease.
The calf is of plel'eian blood and was
bred, raised and trained by the farmer.
Colonel Burns intends exhibiting the
speedy beast on all the trotting tracks
in the country. Hitched to a light wag-
on Wabash trotted to Belmont Park
yesterday afternoon, and was sent
around the track several times at a
three minute gait. The calf's wind
and limbs are perfectly sound, and his
owner says he has driven him forty
miles day without making him turn
hair.
Although Wabash trots fas1 and
steadily in harness, he is much speeder
when running under saddle. To show
the cafs speed he was saddled and
| mounted by liz pound jockey yester-
day, and Mr.. Horizons b. N. Clorinda,
with record Of 2.24, was started
against him. Clorinda, went away in
the lead when the word ego" was
given, but Reilly, the jockey on the calf,
quickly clapped spurs into its sides, and
with q below that was heard a mile off
Wabash hoisted his tail like a .jackstatf
and set sail after the trOtter The
crowd of horsemen present at once saw
that Wabash had mixed but fast gait
that is peculiar to himself. When on
the back stretch his legs seemed to
sprangle out on al sides at once, land he
bowed his back like "a bncking broncho
ard blew cloud of steam out OF his
nostrils. Colonel Burns proudly waved
his hand towards him, and said to the
crowd on the quarter stretch " Now,
you all watch thai critter hump him
self" If" humping" meant bel low
ing until the astOunded Clorinda bolt
ed across the track and stood trembling
against the outside rails, Wabash GER
tainly did what the Colonel expected.
Wabash came along like locomotive,
passed the bewildered mare and was
Looping into the home stretch before tim
orous Cloriuda's driver could induce her
to trot.
Wabash won by an eighth ofa mile and
was oheered by every spectator except
Mr.. Horton, who rythmically said to
his driver Well, don't 1t beat -
The calf will race at Point Breeze or
Suffolk Park on Saturday.

HOrN eb0ck,

CAMP STAGER, on Terry's Lake,
Wy, Aug. 18th, via Fort Washakie,
Aug. l3th.-It was determined last
night to move our camp this morning
few miles to point where there would
be more abundant grazing for the
horses and mules Accordingly at $50
a. IN. every enc was in the saddle and
started up tho valley on the right bank
of Wind rivef. Owing to the rain of
yesterday the trail was in a splendid
condition for comfort and marching,
the sun being obscured by clouds, CIV
ing temperature of below so degrees
Fahrenheit all day.
At the end of an hours travel over
hills and rolling land the Wind river
was reached at a point where 1t passes
through gorgeous masses of rock known
as the Cred Buttes." The first cross
ing was made by fording in diagonal
direction up stream, where the water
was so rapid in its flow that oue'sneigh-
Dor seemed to be moving up the river
with the speed of a running horse.
Soon aftel, by short ford, the river
was re-crossed, and at the end OF an hour
the western boundary of the ShoshOne
reservation was reached. From this
point our travel was very interesting
but not SO difficult u journey, over a
series of lofty divides to escape the
precipitous banks of small streams
flowing from the mountains into the
river.
In descending one of these it was ne
cessary to dismount and lead the horses.
On the highest divides we halted to take
in the beautiful view, covering scores
of miles up ard down the river, with
the snowcovered peaks of the Shoshone
mountains lin front OF us and those of
the Wind river mountains at our back.
Here we took our last look at the great
landmark, "Crow Heart Butte" thirty
miles away, which had been in view
since our leaving Fort Washable. Wal
lowing Buffalo, one of our Arapahoe
guides, tells us that it got its name after
a great battle between the Shoshones
and Crows many years ago The vicro-
ry of the Shosbones was celebrated by
burying the hearts of the dead Crows
on the summit of the butte.
After IL ride of twelve miles We have
reached the banks of some beautiful
lakes which are called after Captain
Terry, formerly an officer in the army,
but now owning large cattle herds on
the range near by. The lakes are said
to abound in large trout, and we expect
to spend tomorrow fishing. Game is
not very abundant in this neighbor-
hood, hut our hunters yesterday brought
in two antelopes, and few mountain
grouse were killed on the march to
day.
"ShOshone Dick" a white member
of the tribe, who was captured proba-
bly, from an emigrant train when so
Young that he has lost all recollection
of the event, is one of our Indian party,
and has gone to look for signs of game,
and we hope for a. good report from
him. -.
Our camp is named Scamp Stager, !"
in honor of General Anson Stager, OF
Chicago.

TWN Prize Flights.

PITTSBURG. August 14.-This morn
ing at five o'clock prize fight of four
rounds was fought at Whitehall, seven
miles out of Brownsville road, between
Albert Cannoup, of New York, and
John Wagner, of this city. The men
are brothers-in-law, and the fight was
for nominal purse of $3.50, but in reali-
ty was to settle the question OF suprem-
acy, both men having been indulging in
considerable bantering Of late, growing
out of an old grievance. Cannoup has
been in training for about three weeks,
while Wagner was under the care OF
Bill Williams, local pugilist. Wagner
Is glass-blower and Cannoup black
smith.
At four o'clock the principals, their
friends and hackers and twenty hacks
filled with sports and mill men arrived
at the Whitehall tavern. Here the
men were dressed in ring costume and
were rapidly driven to the grove,
about u mile distant. The fight
took place on the dancing platform of a
secluded grove. Dominick 1.afferty, OF
Philadelphia, was referee, and Jack
Harris time-keeper.
Wagner was a favOrite in the betting
at odds of $25 to $40, being larger and
heavier than his antagonist, but after
four rounds of very savage fighting
Wagner's second threw up the sponge
and Cannoup wasdeclared the winner
Both men were badly punished,
NEW YORK, August IA hart
glove fight took place near Flushing
L. l., this morning between JohI

His umpire was Andy Hanly. Thomas
McAlpine and "Jimmy" Murray wert

the defensive, and, although badly
punished, succeeded in winding Boylan
by frequently throwing and falling or
him. When time was called for thu
twenty. fourth round Boylan was un
able to respond. Both men were con
siderably bruised.

A CLOSE CONTEST.
The Quickstep Lose by One Run
Other Games.

The Quickstep played the Trenton
club at Trenton yesterday afternoon,
and we're defeated by score of to 1.
This is accounted for from the fact that
in the ninth inning the umpire failed to
see a man who was put out by the Will
mington players, which would nave
tied the score and necessitated the
playing of the tenth inning, and in
that event the Wilmington team might
have made the winning run. Inc
Quickstep's new battery, as named in
Yesterdays paper, did effective work,
and is a valuable acquisition to the
nine. The score by innings was
