experiments. The Slocum high lic-
ense law now ia operation in the
State fixes the license in cities at
I'll 900 a year, AID the City Coun =
ellis have power TO increase it to any
amount they see st. Now n amend
ment is pending in the State Legis-
lsture making the license 82. 500 a
year. and likely enough it will pass.
Temperance people in Nebraska are
delighted with the result of The

years, aud it is claimed that Its sue
cess is due TO their watchfuIness.

speaks Of Judge Gresham as follows /:
"His record as a citizen, a soldier
and jurist, will bear inspection. He
has the respect OF ali men OF all par.
ties in bis State, and while they will
regret his departure from the bench
they will be glad that his worth has
been recognizst by The President.
Lincoln made Gresham a brIgadler-
general, Johnson made him a brevet

judge, end Arthur gives him Cab

out with a good BRAN and brave.

General Gresham lost leg 10 the

Rebuking the POpe,

CHICAGO June 16.-A mass meeting, called
for the avowed purpose of rebuking the Pope
for his interference in the political affairs of
Ireland, was well attended, 1000 people
pressing into the West Twefth-street Turner
Hall tonight. The several resolutions
adopted, while directed at his Holiness, did
not use his name but some OF the speakers
did, and rather freely. The resolutions, after
recounting what Parnell had done for Ire
land, declared that the best answer to his
traducers in whatever quarter would be
found in the swelling fund to release his
estate from debt. Alexander Sullivan, presi-
dent OF the Irish National League, declared
that if the Pope attempted to prevent the
liberty of Ireland he would be pushed aside
by an indignant people. Congressman Fin
nerty contended that England would have
no greater purpose of perpetuating the slav-
cry of Ireland by marching on Rome than
she could have by marching on Washington.
The non-Papal utterances were applauded.

"Cut 1t Down Chauncey."


Everybody knows how admirable Judge
jeremiah Blacks style is. They say that
when his gifted son Chauncey was about to
write his first article for the press he con-
suited his father about the subject he had in
mind. That will do very well, very well, 4"
said the Judge; you understand that sub
ject, and you ought to write about 1t very
we'll. Let me see what you write when you
get through l may be able to make some
suggestions to YOU" The young man went
off and buckled down to his task. He knew
that his father would be severely critical, and
he resolved to leave himself as little open to
criticism as possible, so he spent week at
1t. When he had about reached perfection
he took it to the old gentlemen. The Judge
read it carefully through. ''Well?' asked
within him. Very we'll done"
said the Judge, very well done
But Chauncey it can be improved. I.think
if you cut it down one-half that it will i'm
prove it very much" very well, sir" said
Chauncey, taking the manuscript back to
his room. When he had taken out little
more than one-half of his fine sentences he
returned to his father. The old Judge read
it through again. "Well?' asked Chauncey.
"You can't imagine how much you have
improved it," said the Judge; ''it really
reads very we'll. But, Chauncey If you cut
it down one-half again it will read much
better" Very well, sir" said his son, put
ting the knife to his child again. BY the
time this latest cut was made the article had
gotten to be but half column long. very

Judge, nodding approvingly. But, Chaun-

MAUD S. AND ALDINE.
Surprising All Previous Records-A Mile in
2:15la.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
William H. Vanderbilt's famous mares,
Maud s. and Aldine, came down like wolves
on the fold" yesterday at Fleetwood Park
and scattered all previous records to the
winds, making mile in 2;15H. Mr.. Wander
bilt drove the mares himself. He drove once
around the track and then prepared to put
the mares on their speed. About $50 people
had collected to the stoop of the clubhouse
by this time, and many watches were pulled
out as Mr. Vanderbilt drove by. T. T.. East
man, Frank Work, Allie Bonner, Alexander
Taylor, VIM. Turnbull and many other lovers
of horsef1esh were spectators all eager to see
what the celebrated mares would do but
none suspecting that such an astonishing
record was to be made. A word from Mr.
Vanderbilt, and the mares were off like the
wind. The track was in good condition, and
the feet of the flying pair beat it as rapidly
as the drumsticks of the drummer beat the
tattoo. Look at 'em go!' Isn't that
splenddY' and such like EXPLANATIONS came
from the crowd. Maud S. travelled in SPLEEN
did form, and did not seem to be exerting
herself to her utmost. Aldine did excellent
ly, but it was evident at the three-quarters
that she received very great assistance
from Maud. The quarter was made in 32T
seconds, the half in 1:05%, three-quarters
in 1:41, and the mile in 2:15%.
The time was taken by T. c. Eastman, Will
liam Turnbull Alexander Taylor Allie Bon
ner and about thirty other gentlemen. The
mile was made without break on the part
of either of the mares. Mr.. Vanderbilt came
down the homestretch driving with one
hand and waving his whip over the heads of
the mares with the other, amid the cheers of
the crowd.
The best previous records made by double
teams were; 2161a. made at Hartford last fall
by Aldine and Early Rose, and 2:16A, made
by Frank Works celebrated team, Edward
