The Trlbulation of the Rich.

A rich mans son labors under many dis

the father be rich; it is enough that he be 80
Teputed or esteemed,
Tho arrangement of the family meals in
wealthy houses forbids him mechanical en-
ployment unless entirely separated from
paternal and maternal oversight. The fact
thar he is a rich mans son renders him more
restless under control because of indopond.

so fortunate was tho youth who recon-

Indianapolis club. Athletic park to-day.


One of the turf sensations of last year was
the action of the National Jockey club in
ruling off w. G. Daley and his noted steeple-
chaser, Jim McGowan, on account of fraudu-
lent riding of the horse at the Ivy City
meeting. There has always been strong
sympathy for Daley in the matter, he having
constantly asseverated his innocence Of fraud
in tho matter, and the jockey who threw the
race having declared that he did it without
Daley's knowledge. An application for
Daleys reinstatement has been strongly
pressed before tho Jockey club for
som o time past, with tho result
that at special meeting held
last night it was concluded in view of the
doubts as to Daley's guilt, and the severe pun
ishment already inflicted upon him, to grant
his petition. The reinstatement takes effect
from and after Aug. j. Turimen at large will
be glad that Jim MCGOWAN will again have a
chance, to display his splendid powers rs one

some months ago to Baron Won Zeidlitz for a

A WOMAN STABBED.

The Result OF Quarrel Between Two
CoIored Women Over Lover.
A serious and perhaps fatal cutting affray
occurred between two colorcd women in East
Washington last night. Rose Taylor was
standing in front of her house. 110 Sixth
street southeast, when Rachael Ross, q
rather pretty octoroon, passed by.
Rachael charged Rose with trying to take
her lover from her and Rose protested against
the charge. The result was u fight during
which Rachael pulled out long bladed pocket
knife and cut Rose across the abdomen.
Rose seized the knife and received deep cut
on the right hand. DR.. Chew was called in
and pronounced tho wound of the abdomen
of very dangerous character. Rachael is
held at tho eighth station.

THE CAFE OF HORSES.

Some genius has invented a contrivance
which, IL is thought, will supercede the bride
bit. It is. called the Garage, or anti-horss
torture. 1t Is composed Of q steel band placed
over the front bone of the horses nose, and
to his appliance tho reins are attached. The
inventor claims for this substitute for tho bit
that it gives complete control to the driver
over tho horse without inticting the least
discomfort or torture to the animal itself 1t
has been tried with satisfactory results.
II is claimed by some who have had expert.
once that the hay made from wild prairie
will not give horses the heaves. A gentleman
who has lived in the west for many years
says that he never saw horses affected with
this disease until after tho introduction of
tame grass for meadows Heaves may not be
easily cured, but if farmers will wet the hay
very little and shake it well, it will remove
the dust and in most cases prevent heaves.
This is moro important during dry, windy
weather of spring.
Avery fast PAGER has recently been discov-
cred in New York state William Sar-
gent one Of st. Juien's first trainers, has
him in charge, and thinks he is the fastest
pacing horse in the world. He will be 8
inches high, has flowing mane and tail, and
is well proportioned. At n trial recently he
is said to have paced quarter of mile in
32l secoQds This was on a half-mile track,
aud 32l is equivalent to 30 or better over a
mile track. Sargent is satisfied that he can
pace over better track in 80 seconds.
The watering trough for tho horse is too
often neglected. 1t is not an uncommon
thing TO find troughs filled with green moss
and litter which has fallen into them. 1t
requires but few moments each day to
remove all this, and it should not be counted
as duty, but pleasure, to attend to it
regularly at least once day, or oftener, If
necessary. Your horses enjoy drinking from
a clean trough as much as you do from clean
glass, and they detest filthy one as much as
you do filthy glass; tho only difference is
that they cannot express themselves concern
ing it, and you can.
