Is that 1t is the fashion to attend the
races at this track. The attendance
to-day is estimated to be Is, 600 people
including a representation of the
clty's wealth and fashion, and many
we'll known people of wealth and
fashion from other cities, The club
mouse was completely filled with
ladies and gentlemen, the best known
in the city's social circles. The grand
stand was occupied by many scarcely
less aristocratic. The field from the
end of the grand stand to the head of
the stretch was crowded with equip
pages, including several tally-ho
coaches and tandems and other
noticeable turnOuts without number.
The grounds are perfectly level and
beautifully laid out with lawns and
terraces. The track is as level as
billiard table and so laid that the
horses feet are not even visible at
any point. In respect to the finish,
completeness and costliness of the
appointments it exceeds that of any
of the other club houses. The grand
stand, pooling grounds, stables, etc.,
are far ahead of any similar grounds
in this country. Red and olive are
the colors employed about the build
ings and with their broad verandas
give one the impression of seaside
resort. It is the intention of the
to conduct everything
on the very highest grade. 1t is not
to be managed merely to make money
but primarily to furnish high class
turf sports for its members and their
friends.

mittee appointed by the house to as

used improper means ON the noor OF
the house to influence members to
te to seat his son as member from
Indiana, decided to-day to reopen
the case. When Millard asked Eng
lish during his examination before
the committee whether he had gone
to members at their homes to urge
them to vote for his son, objection
was made and the question was ruled
out. After the case had closed, Dem
ocrats thought the matter over, and
decided that the failure to answerthe
question would be looked upon as an
admission that the accusation was
true, and it would be an injustice to
Mr. English not to let him reply, so
on Tuesday next the case will be re-
opened and English will be put on
the stand.

Allen, Piegan Indian agent of north
ern Montana, reports the Piegans
dying fast from the scant food supply.
The carpenter of the agency has fur
nished thirty burial boxes in the past
month, but it is believed the deaths
are fully thrice that number, as the
Indians have a great dislike to bury
ing their dead, preferring the old GUS
tom OF placing the bodies in trees or
in stone piles on high hills. The
death rate is the greatest among chill
dren five to twelve years old. Sup-
plies will be exhausted entirely in
another week, and three thousand
Indians on the reservation will be
left to starve or subsist on the cattle
of the settlers and trouble is feared.

THE ILLUSIONS OF MEMORY.
An Exception to the Rule That
They Are All Unexcep-
tiOnable.
GArkansaW Traveller.l

The North american Review pub
fishes paper treating of the illusions
of memory. The subject is handled
in mastery manner, telling of the
strange Impressions we sometimes
feel in looking out oyer landscape
never before seen by us, yet, sud-
denly there comes a flash of indis-
tinct recollection as if, years ago,
back to which time memory refuses
to travel in a direct line, We looked
upon the scene. Some Investigators
have thought that q man, during a
certain mental condition, can look at
strange object and that on one
hemisphere of his mind receives the
impression. Suddenly the o her
hemisphere receives it, and still =
tanning the impression taken by tn
first hemisphere, he remembers to
have seen the objects before. No
man has satisfactorily explained this
illusion, but there are illusions of
memory which can be explained.
For instance man goes home after
day of toll, and says to his wife:
"Saw our old friend Jackson
to-day. Looking fine. Said he was
never in better health in his life.
Asked about you. II business don't
get better I don't know what we are
going to do. By the way, saw our
old friend Jackson to-day. Looking
fine. Said he would like very much
to see you. am tired. Such rush
of business that haven't had time
to sit down. Whom do you suppose
1 saw to-day?"
Jackson" replies his wife, rather
severely.
"What! did he come up here? Said
he would like to see you. I want to
get down town early tomorrow. I
forgot to tell you that saw our old
friend Jackson"
This illusion of memory has lot
baffied scientific research. The; m
tleman is drunk. There is also IN
illusion of eye sight, where obje Is
take double impressions. Any e
thus afflicted is also drunk.
