Some large prices were recently OBJ
tanned for Short-hofn cattle; d cow

went over 81 700. These high prices are
probably fair values for these animals as

mate the value of animals for breeding

beef or the dairy.
1t is not prudent for young lady to

The presentation of vast members of
bills to legislative bodies in the United
States, for which nobody assumes the
responsibility, has brought out the fact
that in the English legislature no bill is re-
ceived unless sponsored by the Govern
ment or by two members of the House,
and in the latter case only upon leave
granted. 1t is thus made impossible for
any measure to be introduced without a
responsibility for it resting upon some
body within the reach and power of the
chamber. In the state legislature of the
United States, and the National as we'll,
members feel obliged to introduce al
most anything sent them by their con-
stituents for which nobody in particular
is willing to stand as sponsor.

The Chicago Tribune publishes its
"twentyfrst article on Chicago as a sum-
mer resort" which affirms that "Chi-
cage continues to enjoy that delightful
GOODNESS which has always characterized
her, and which has secured for her such
a widespread re putation as the favorite
place of summer-resort" 1t proceeds
to tell what vast numbers ofpeople from
New Orleans, st. Louis and all the hot
places are vending their way to Chi
cago, and then remarks that last week
an immense delegation of people from
as far north as Minneapolis arrived here
and will remain to recruit their health
and escape the sudden heat which re-
fleets so scorchingly from their limestone
and blisters their feet as they walk over
it. 1t is one of the Authorizations of tie
average Chicago man that no place can
equal that city as summer resort,
wi lie the fact is, that every Chicago
man and woman who has the means is
glad to get out of that frying pan during
the summer months.

A New Style of Snake Story.

Miss Brooks a respectable young woman
and a daughter of q truck farmer at
Sheridan, two miles from Womelsdorf on
the Lebanon Valley railroad, met with a
startling adventure while out walking in the
woods with female companion. The story
of their wonderful escape is vouched for by
the best citizens in the place.
While the two ladies were promenading in
a secluded spot in the forest, Miss Brooks
suddenly experienced heavy pressure
Uround her waist, which increased to such
an extent as to almost deprive her of breath.
She cried out from pain, and her com panion
sprang to one side. Miss Brooks put her
hand to her waist and discovered thick and
heavy roll underneath her light evening cos
tune. Immediately thereafter the two were
Mortified beyond description on seeing the
head of a snake protruding from the folds of
the dress, its horrible fangs darting in every
direction. With rare presence of mind
Miss Brookss companion seized hold of the
formers dress and pulled the skirt from her
body.
A huge black snake was found coiled
around her waist. 1t Immediately dropped
to the ground and disappeared in some dense
un1erbrush. The ladies say that it must
have been fully six feet in length. 1t must
have been lying in their path, and as they
passed along worked itself up the young
woman's under clothing and found a resting
place around her waist Upon reaching
home Miss Brooks was SO overcome that she

yanderhiIt and the Walters.

Glen House IN. H. Special.
Mr.. w. H. Vanderbilt signalized his de-
parture from the Glen House this morning
by an act of lavish but thoughtful generosity.
He was attracted by the reliant spirit and
gentlemanly bearing of the student walters
who come here, from school and college, to
earn something toward the expenses of their
education, and he expressed his appreciation
of their endeavors by leaving his check for
$4,000 with the proprietor, Mr.. Milliken, for
distribution among these young men. That
this liberal gift was worthily bestowed, and
recipients, will be the opinion of all who
have visited the Glen House during the past
ten years. The millionaire has lett behind
him at least thirty sturdy friends, who will
hardly be able to see as some do, the evil OF
his great wealth.

Newspaper Advertising.

Philadelphia Record.
For many years there has been a system of
pubic and private swindlng i'll advertising
mainly based on misconception of its nature
and advantages.
In reality the measure of publicity which
a newspaper offers to sell to its advertisers is
merchandise that should be sold by meas
urement, the same as other merchandise,
wheat, cotton or sugar.
If merchant pays ten cents line for adj
vertising in q newspaper that circulates 10,
900 copies he pays at the rate of one cent for
1000 lines. Ii he pays twenty cents a line
for advertising in a newspaper that circu-
lates 100 900 copies he pays at the rate of one
cent for 5000 lines. He pays, therefore. five
times the price in the paper of 10000 that is
charged for like service in The paper that
has 900 circulation, though he only pays
half as much money for the same space.
The community has been robbed and is
still robbed of a large annual sum by a
system of public advertising authorized by
laws framed with the intention of fraud,
giving important legal information in incon-
spieuous journals, where it is never seen by
the great majority OF readers.
Individual advertisers have been and are
Systematically robbed and swindled every
day by pretentious newspapers of small cir
culation which prey upon the business pub
lie by charging for service they cannot rem
der
Advertisers who insist upon having their
advertising measured to them, buying it as
thew do other merchantable articles, do them
selves and the community a great service.
The business of newspaper publicity has oe-
come so essential a feature of private and
public transactions that it is important it
should be fairly conducted and fully under
stood.

INDIANA's RACING CALF.

Philadelphia Times.

-NN~~NAs
Philadelphia Times.
Wabash, the two-year-old calico calf that
is credited with a mile racing record of 22O,
was brought to Philadelphia on Monday by
his owner Colonel Charles ]. Burns of Ev-
ansville, Ind. Wabash has won seven races
off the reel this summer and was only beaten
once On that occasion he fell down. At
Bedford Park, on "Wednesday last, he easily
beat J. c. Mason's blk g., THE Major" a
mile in 220. After the race Colonel Burns
declined to accept an offer of 81, 500 for his
fleet-footed hc"ire. The calf is nearly thir-
teen and Z. half hands high, his legs are like
those .; giraffe and his horns are tipped
with nickel-pated knobs. Col Burns bought
the calf when yearling from an Indiana farm
er. who was driving the split-hoof trotter to a
sulky, and beating all ordinary roadsters
with ease. The calf is of plebeian 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 wagon
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 fast and steadily in
harness, he is much speedier when running
under saddle. To show the calls speed he
was saddled and mounted by lis pound
jockey yesterday, and Mr.. Horizons b. m.
Clorinda, with a record of 2;24, was started
against him. Clorinda went away in the
lead when the word 'go' was given, but
Reilly, the jockey on the calf, quickly
clapped spurs into its sides, and
with a below that was heard a mile off
Wabash boosted his tail like jackstaff and
set sail after the trotter. The crowd OF horse
men present at once saw that Wabash had a
mixed but fast gait that is peculiar to him
self. When on the back stretch his legs
seemed to sprangle out on all sides at once,
and he bowed his back like a bucking
broncho and 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
that critter hump himself" If humping"
meant believing until the astounded Clor-
india bolted across the track and stood
trembling against the outside rails. Wabash
came along like locomotive, passed the be-
wildered mare and was Looping into the home
stretch before the timorous Clorudas driver
could induce her to trot. Wabash won by
an eighth of a mile, and was cheered by
every spectator except Mr. Horton, who
rythmically said to his driver: We'll, don't
it beat -" The calf will race at Point
Breeze or Suffolk Park on Saturday.
