SALTWATER GLoBULEs.

Two weeks time will be required in which
to complete the brick work in the prison
proper.
Mrs. J. J. Edwards, who has been danger
ously i'll, was yesterday reported as slowly
convalescing.
The building which is to be erected on
North Main street will be fitted up for the
sale of confectionery and ice cream, and not
for a union store, as has been enormously
stated.
1t is stated that the saloon keepers are
about to combine in defense of their rights.
One of the first moves, It is said, will be to
Withdraw all their patronage from the prom
!nent advocates of high license.
Now that Mckenzie has been arrested,
Isaac Staples will probably receive pay for a
couple of car loads OF cattle which were
stolen from him, payment having been with
held until the arrest OF the party by whom the
theft was committed.
A clothes line in the back yard of a North
hill residence was raided short time ago in
broad day light. Notwithstanding people
were passing and repassing ON the street
close by, the scamp very cody selected such
articles as best suited his fancy, wrapped
them carefully in paper and marched of
with his booty before those who were looking
at the operations were really aware that g
theft was being committed.

A SMART ALECK.
He Swells His Head With Bug juice
and Drives Away With the
Wrong Horse.

Aleck Trombly, keeper of the tavern and
hotel at Vadnais lake, reclined in a cell at
city hall yesterday afternoon and he had
what is called swelled head and was feeling
bad. His despondancy, i'll feeling and alb
normally developed head may be said to be
due to prosperity. Last Satur-
day Aleck sold out his place
for 5000, and in company with
couple of other Frenchmen, he came to
town for a jamboree. They drank to excess,
and after loading to the guards, the char
tered hack and started for home. On Mis-
sissippi street they stopped to bowl up and
Aleck got so full that he didn't know the
difference betwixt meuln and teum.
In this condition he wandered
into the street and took possession of a
horse and cutter belonging to Joe LeDuc.
Then he drove home, got out of the rig and
left it to shift for itself. LeDuc got Officer
Hanft and started for the miscreant; they
found Aleck sleeping the sleep of the boozer
and the whip was also found in the roadway
AS to the rig no trace Of it had been dis
covered up to last night. Aleck was brought
into the city and locked up on the charge of
horse stealing. This is why he feels so

Stumbling Horses.

The Pittsburg ,Stockman, in recent issue,
says: "some good horses are addicted to
stumbling while walking or moving in a
slow trot A well versed veterinarian states
that there are two causes that would tend to
produce this faulty action; one, a general
weakness in the muscular system, such as
would be noticed in tired horse; the other,
weakness of the exterior muscles of the
leg, brought about by carrying too much
weight on the toe. To affect cure, he adds,
tighten the weight on each front shoe about
four ounces; have the toe Of the shoe made
of steel instead Of iron, it wear longer, have
it rounded off about the same
as it would be when one-third
worn out, in order to prevent tripping; allow
one weeks rest; have the legs showered for
a few minutes at a time with cold water
through hose, in order to create spray;
then rub dry, briskly, from the chest down
to the foot. Give walking exercises during
this week. for about an hour twice. day.
When you commence driving again omit the
slow jog, either walk or send him along at a
shop trot for mile or two, then walk away,
but do not speed for at least several weeks.
By this means the habit Of stumbling from
either of the above causes will be pretty well
overcome"

Sara Bernhardt is a treasure to Parisia,

Sara Bernhardt IS a treasure to Partisan
paragraphers. She has probably been the
inspiration of more witticisms, good, bad and
indifferent, than any daughter of Eve to-day.
A contemporary who is statistically inclined
states that out Of every hundred jokes per-
petrated by French journalists, sixty-three
owe their origin to Sara's slim appearance,
twenty-five to the coffin and the strange at
tachment which it is alleged she bears for it,
six to the love affairs so characteristic and
original, five to the ready manner in which
she handles her little switch cane, and one to
her noticeable step and carriage. 1t seems
as II the journalists of Paris had constituted
themselves press agents for Nine. rnhardt,
and were under contract to keep the serpen-
tine star in the public mind.

B,.sfs,ess of the Year 1888 on the Trottin9
Turf

Turf.
Secretary Vail, of the National Trotting as
ISOLATION, whose office is in Hartford, Ct, has
just issued his biennial report. Its figures
illustrate the popularity and success of con-
tests, of speed on the turf during the last two
years, and the continuing increase from year
to year. In 1883 the association represented
217 parks. Seven held no meetings, and
the remaining 210 had 2,244 races, with 49,
842 entries, requiring 1864, 500 entrance
moneys, 9,86S starters, and 1866, 517 COM
peted for-an increase of $500, 900 over 1888.
The ratio of starters to entries was about two
thirds, and has been about the same in pre-
vious years.
The parks outside the association which
held meetings, as. ascertained by special re-
ports, were $50, with premiums aggregating
1928, 444, on an average Of only 1868 each. a
comparison of the figures shows that the as
ISOLATION members during 1883 awarded
more than IS per cent. of all the money con-
tested for in the country.
OF the 1864, SOP Of entrance moneys only
S83, 1877 was unpaid at the end of the year
and the parties suspended therefor. This is
a decrease from previous years. The asso
citation is usually successful in collecting
about one-third of these unpaid fees. At the
close of the year 1850 persons and 2,2sS
horses stood suspended, and 172 persons and
ninety-seven horses expelled from associa-
ton tracks.
The growth Of turf contests is shown by
comparing the average Of the business of the
tracks for 1882 and 1883. The average en-
tries for the season rose from SO in 1882 to
rs in 1888; the average entries in each class
from 6 "a to 7.05; the average Of starters
from 4. "a to 4.39; the average money for
class from 1878 to S4.25, and the average Of
the amounts of money offered by each track
for the year from SO, $50 to "a, $50.
The associations receipts for 1888 were:
Membership fees, 81, 800; penalties from
entrance money, s1,ss iii; fines, 1922; re-
cording fees, s1,050; sales of rules, 81, 461.-
7s. Total, s16,514.s0. The expenses were:
Printing, ETC., S2,S49; meetings of the board
of review and association, 81, 439; salaries,
s6,346; sundries, 2,849. Total, $14,475--
$4,000 less than for 1882.

John SpLan.


A correspondent of the Chicago R0rSe,,an7a.
writing from Kansas City, thus speaks of
John Splan
Next ON the list comes Mr.. John Splan.
The writer is particularly well acquainted
with the great and famous driver of trotters,
John Splan. It is universally admitted by all
that know him that there are none who can
beat him driving all kinds of horses. Splan
is noted for his ability to drive waiting race
and often never makes move for heat
until there are three or four heats trotted,
and then goes on and wins. Some say he
occasionally lays up heats to allow the out
siders to get a good chance to put their
money on his horse and then lays up the
deciding heats because his own
money has been bet against him {;
but, nevertheless, John bears about as good
record in that respect as the general run of
drivers, and much better than some of those
that speak against him. Splan first became
famous as the driver of Rarus, although he
drove Kansas Chief some extra good races
before he ever drove Rarus. Splan is noted
for his ability as tall1er as well as a driver.
and it matters not where he is whether it be
among ladies, horsemen, politicians. minis
tiers or warriors, he is always ready with his
parto the conversation.
On one occasion, when he was in San
Francisco. with Rarus, and stopping at the
Baldwin hotel, he was called upon by one of
San Francisco's leading ministers, and there
were present Mr. and Mrs. Doble, Mr.. Hic-
kok, Mrs. Splan, himself and several other
ladies and gentlemen in the hotel parlor, an d
the minister was introduced to all of those
noted drivers and spent very pleasant
evening listening to Splan's stories about
Goldsmith Maid, Rarus and other noted
horsts. When the minister was about to
leave he remarked that he had been happily
disappointed with his visit among the noted
trotting horse drivers, for he certsinly found
that there were some entertaining and re-
pectahlc gentlemen at least among them, and
although 50 many were continually
talking against them, he must say that ne had
changed his mind and that he

would unhesitatingly, in the future, assure
those that spoke against horsemen and
drivers as whole, that he had become ac-
quainted with some very nice gentleman who
were drivers of trotting horses, adding that
Mr.. Splan should have studied for the min
istry. Splan, with his ready wit, thanked
the minister very kindly for his high opinion
of himself, and said that he must return the
compliment, as he had lived for several years
past in Brooklyn (Which was during the
Beecher scandaD, and that there was so
much said against ministers generally that
he believed them to be fearful bad lot, but
since meeting him he had altogether changed
his mind. and now could say that he knew
one minister that was entirely different from
those ministers that there was SO much said
against
