A British Lord, Dem me.

LEWISTON, Me-, Jan. 13.-Young ladies
here are excited over the announcement
that we have a live English lord in the
city. He appeared at one Of our hotels
about II o'clock the other night, and with
many fourishes of the pen epnounced him
self on the registe- as one of the British
nobility. He had on a worn Scotch cap, and
his legs were rather unsteady, in pair of
blue checked overslls. He displayed, how
ever, a number of valuable jewels, and had
a good sum in ready cash. There is
evidence that the man really is the
younger son of one of the peers of Eng
land. He is employed as hostler in a
Lewiston livery stable. He says he fell
into disgrace on account of dissolute hab-
its, and came to this country to reap what
he had sown across the water. He occa-
sionally receives large remittances from
England and spree follows. He recently
deposited 500 in the hands of a friend
for custody until he got over his tear. He
has ancestral jewelry of great age and
value in his possession. He says he will
one day get fortune.

Plymouth Church.

The Union service announced by the
SUNDAY GLOBE for P. m. yesterday was
designed as general union gathering
to be sequel to the week of prayer. 1t
was participated in by number of the
pastors and congregations of the city.
There were present Rev. DR.. NJ. G. Dana,
pastor of the Plymouth church, Rev. M.
Conant, of the Pacific Congregational
church, Rev. M. n, Gilbert, rector of Christ
Episcopal church, Rev. DR.. W. K. Marshall,
of jackson street M. E. church, and Rev.
R. R. Riddell of the First Baptist church.
Rev. DR.. Dana presided and opened the
service with brief announcement and
reading portion of the scriptures fol-
lowed by prayer by Rev. M. Conant and
singing by the congregation.
Rev. NJ. N. Gilbert gave the first ad-
dress upon the subject of words to Young
Men" He would not take a text or preach
a sermon, but would address himself di-
rectly to the young men; the vigorous, hearty
young men who have the power, and who
are moulding society and shaping the des-
TIMES of state. Their responsibilities were
great, and their opportunities for good
were large. He would hold up to them as
a most perfect model, Christ, who was
young man, his whole career here upon
earth being passed before he was thirty
years of age. To strive to initiate Christ
should be the ambition of every young
man, who alone is worthy of imitation.
Rev. Mr.. Riddell followed On the SUBJ
iect of 'sChristian Believers and Their
Duties" 1t was their duty to be strong,
and in proportion to their belief SO would
their strength, and to believe they must
have faith. There was work for Christians
here in st. Paul. He was not calling at
tention to Minneapolis or Chicago, but to
our own city of St. Paul. To accomplish
this they must first have faith In
themselves. He had no sym
pathy with that species OF doubt
ing, trembling Christianity which
had no faith in itself and made no effort
for the good or conversion of others.
Christians should have faith in themselves
and their Christianity, and second, they
should have faith in the instrUmentalities
placed in their hands for the accomplish
ment of good and the conversion of their
fellow men. Success depends upon faith
in the means employed. He believed in
the religion of Jesus Christ, and had faith

of the country. 1t voiced the sentiments
of these and became & recognized power.
1t excluded from its pages everything that
was not elevated and manly, and it made
popular the literature of the turf and field.
Its circulation rapidly spread until it Gov
cred every state and territory in the Union,
and the journal is now accepted as an au-
thority abroad. The great fire on the 31st
of January, 1882, which wiped out its
offices, drove it for a few months from
Park Row, but it has been back in the old
neighborhood since April, where it has
been conducted with rare zeal and ability.
Its reputation is higher and its circulation
greater than ever. Its opinions are eager
ly consulted, and articles from it are widely
quoted. 1t is pleasure to see a journal
like Turf, Field and Farm, of positive con-
victions, unfagging enterprise and decided
merit, riding the waves of prosperity.

2:19. This is the horse who came in sec
ond to Hattie Woodward at Buffalo when
she made her 2:1515, and Manetta, who
showed trial mile to sulky in 2:162, and
trotted two miles with running mate in
4:27 a, which is the fastest ever made for
that distance.
There is more virtue in early feeding
than some people dream of. At Mr.. Bon
ner's farm, near Tarrytown, Jessie Kirk
daughter of Clark Chief, dropped in April,
1881, a bay colt to the cover of Startle, son
of Rysdyk's Hambletonian. In October
Mr.. Bonner began to put in a trough ao-
cessible to mare and colt twelve quarts of
oats day. In the day time the two had
the run of sixteen acre grass lot and
they were housed at night. The colt was
weaned Jan. 10, 1882. 1t was given six
quarts of oats and two quarts of bran
daily. When it was thirteen months
old it weighed 925 lbs; ff-
teen months old, $40 lbs; seventeen
months old, 1925 lbs; and when eight
cen months old the scales balanced at 1850
lbs. On the same day Startle weighed
1000 lbs; Eldridge, LOIS lbs, and Nut
bourne, brother of Nutwood, 1,045 los.
The colt was broken as a yearling, and the
second time it was in harness John Muir
ply drove it quarter in a. seconds,a 2:56
gait. The remarkable fact is that the full
brother of the colt, who trotted as q six
year-old in 2:2215, is only fifteen hands
high, and weighs less than 800 lbs. Size
and substance in great many cases de-
pend upon early feeding and handling.-
Turf, Field and Farm.
Some strange things have occurred in
connection with thoroughbred mares and
their foals. "The Druid" tells of mare
named Eldon, having lost her own
foal, drove Madcap, her paddock compan-
ion, away from her bantling, adopting it
as her own. Another mare named Milk
sop took fright at her foal, and fatty re-
fused to suckle it. Sir Charles Bunbury

Death of the Largest Man in the District
Especial Telegram to the Globe.l


WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Mr. W. Igns titus
DER, the builder and contractor, who died
in Georgetown, was large man. He was
powerfully built and weighed 375 pounds.
Indeed avoirdupois began to interfere with
his business affairs some time ago and he
retired from active life. Mr.. DER, when
he died last Sunday, was the largest man
in the District. Ever since he was COM
PEELED to remain in the house he has in
creased in weight. His last illness, while
partially resulting from fall, was chiefly
owing to the constant accumulation of fat,
the cause of his death being the
growth of that substance about his
internal organs. To such an extent
had the mass of fat increased, that
when he died he weighed no less than 375
pounds. AS can readily be imagined, no
ordinary casket would serve in case like
this. One had to be made to special order
in Philadelphia, and it arrived yesterday.
Its unusual size naturally attracted large
crowd of curious persons. It appears four
times as large as an ordinary casket, being
six and half feet long, nearly three feet
wide, and very deep. It is the very largest
casket that could possibly be carried into
the house. The funeral took place yester-
day. Ten pail bearers, assisted by four
experienced men furnished by the under
taker bore the casket, which weighed over
500 pounds.

The Americun Droft Horse.

Too much careful study of the principles
of breeding cannot be given to the sub
ject by those DESTROYS of perfecting a race
of horses that shall in time be known as
the American draft horse.
Those who hatter themselves that the
draft horse of the future is the one show
ing the greatest amount of avoirdupois
are destined to disappointment. Just at
present any large horse, if not decidedly
ugly, will sell at price affording a profit
sboYe cost of raising, but soon as the public
becomes educated up to realizing the COM
parative value of the different breeds and
the market becomes better supplied, there
will be a distinction made that will bring
thousands of breeders to realize how easily
they have been gulled by the now Ste
reotyped cry ''They are big and will SELL"
A conformation will be demanded which
ensures the greatest strength and endur-
ance, proportions requisite for easy,grace-
full action, and mill-power to propel the
massive proportions at a speed in keeping
with the work required. Then bone, mus
Gle and sinew will be taken into account
and come to the front as the first consider
atoms; and ight-boned fat, fabby, indo-
lent, weak constituted stations that are
now being hawked about the country
whose only qualification is their dead
weight, will be sent to the rear.
The modern Clydesdale and his illus
trious progenitor the English cart or shire
horse, have world wide reputation for en-
ergy, power and endurance, equaled by no
other breed. These two breeds-prdctical
In one-have come among Us to stay, and
every year are demonstrating their supe-
riority by practical tests in every state,
county, and town in our great Northwest.
There should be no strife between these
two strains of horses for they both possess
the same characteristics, and conformation,
unless it may be that the English horses
are somewhat smoother, and more COM
pact than the Clyde; but there has been SO
much of the former infused into the latter
of late years, that it requires an expert to
say where the English leaves off and the
Clyde commonwealth PloaOman.

was made by Mr.. Reid and was responded
to by Mayor Edison. The mayor said he
would do all in his power to promote the
harmony that now existed between him
self and the peoples representatives,to the
end that, so far as the city government was
concerned, the departments should be made
responsible to one head and that head be
held directly accountable to the people.
