BEECHER ON LORsE RACING.
Sensational Episode During Sundays Ser
Wees at Plymouth Church.

BROOKLYN, n. ", March 16 There was
rather sensational episode in Plymouth
Church Sunday morning, indirectly caused,
perhaps, by the strong feeling growing out
OF the vigorous war which is being waged
upon Coney Island pool sellers by the author
tiles OF this city. Mr. Beecher sas expound.
ing the text, Romans xiv, %: Happy is
he that condemneth not himself in that
thing which he alloweth." In dwelling up
on bis well-known liberal views as to what
amusements are proper for Christian indi
viduals or communities, Mr.. Beecher touched
upon horse racing. He said that there was no
more harm in running one horse against
another than in running one boy against
another. But when an attempt was made to
separate the races from gambling those in
terested in the courses cried out that ii
would ruin racing altogether. He pointed
out the svils resulting from pool selling, and
remarked that he did not think we could
afford TO feed horses on men to improve the
breed of horses by deterioratIng generation
OF young men. Some one ia the visitors
gallery hereupon shouted out 1T is not
tue"
what is not true?' Indignantly responded
Mr.. Bescher as quickly as he could recover
from his surprise at the interruption. 'It
you mean what said, say it Is true" and in
laundering emphasis. Applause i have

and then there is an occasion when think

good thing, and II 1t ever was good thing

resumed. Before the service Mr.. Beecher
said he should probably preach next Sunday

EATING ON A WAGER.
Over -Four Pounds of Liver Padding, BE.
sides Other Things.

READING, Pa, March l6.-For some time
past considerable rivalry has existed between
Henry Smith and Joseph Marquette, recog-
nized as Readings champion eaters Each
claimed that he could Guido the other in the
eating line, and finally their friends made
arrangements Tor them to engage in an eat
ing match at Steigerwalds Hotel, on the out
skirts of the city. The contest was to have
been for purse OF $50 at late hour Satur-
day night. Some of their friends tell won
deIIui stories OF their powers, aud large
crowd gathered to witness the contest. The
diet selected was liver pudding, greasy
dish. which Is great favorits among the
Germans. A piece of bread with small bit
of this pudding is sufficient to appease the
appetite OF the most hungry man of ordinary
eating capacity. When the hour arrived
Smiths hacker announced that lis man had
outdone himself; that in order to test his
powers for this match he had overtaxed him
self and felt ill from the effects OF
eating thirteen.pound turkey. Then Mar
quette, q skinny man of ordinary height,
went at it alone for the purse which was
raised for him. A pile Of the pudding,
which was exceedingly rich and fatty, was
placed before him and he went at 1t. He
had tasted for several days and was over
loading an apparently weak stomach.
Time" was called and he commenced, while
the hall In which he was eating was crowded
to its utmost capacity. He was furnished
with bread and liquid refreshments, and ate
steadily for twenty minutes, when he took
walk around the square for the food to settle
down. He continued eating for an hour.
when he had consumed four and one half
pounds of the pudding, which, if put to-
gether like sausages, would extend three
yards besides q loaf of bread, ten schooners
of beer, five of water three glasses of whisky
and two quarts of pear cider. His friends
then rolled him on a barrel. after which he
went home 10 bed. He is now as fresh as a
daisy. His best record is eating two quarts
of ice cream at one sitting. He oncs ate q

twenty pounds, in one and one. half hours.

QUINCY, H., March 16.-The constantly

UNCLE RUFUS FORTY YEARS AGO.

Rufus Childs, of Woodstock, was one oi 8 number of frugal farmers living in the west part of the town, and during the sea son of berries and early vegetables made regular trips to Pomfret depot, as it was called in those days, (now Putnam), to find market for his products. About midway between his home and the depot was the little wayside inn at Arnold town, kept at this time by Whitman Chamber lin. Uncle Rufus, as he was familiarly called, was in the habit of stopping and quietly finding his way to the bar. The following conversation generally ensued
 "What yer got good to drink ?'' "Well, sir, we can give you most any of the com mon iquors." 'sLem me see, guess I'll take little taste round, then can tell better-spose try the old Jamaica," and after giving that pretty good try conclu. ded it didn't quite hit the spot, decided to try the brandy, and slipping half glass and smacking his lips declared 1t to be nice, ''but arter all, guess I'll fall back on my old drink, give us some of yer best old Holland gin, that sorter tastes good and works well on my kidneys So saying he would pour out an even glass, drink off swallow to make room for his sugar, drain the tumbler, lick the toddy stick, pay his five cents and jog on.

cry, Cyclone ?" Does that same fair reader recall certain day when she was quietly picking huckleberries among the thick bushes of Stafford pasture, when her equally diligent companion suddenly shrieked, snake l! and instantly fled from that vicinity? And does she also recall with what perfect coolness and indiffer- ence she herself kept on picking those berries? Most probably she has forgotten all about it.
 If "snake !" means business to huckle- berry pickers in Stafford, how much more does cyclone to the denizens of the west, for it means the utter ruin and destruction of every movable thing in it's path, homes, families and communities. Have we not all very recently read of the reckless way wardness of the sportive demon that ut terly demolished an entire neighborhood in one of these western states, leaving scarcely a vestige of demolished farm houses or other sign of habitation, and even that little child was picked up in the track of the storm, quite unhurt, whose home or identity was unknown, and whose parents or friends the most diligent search and enquiry failed to discover, and the au- thorities were compelled to care for the little one. Moral: When the cyclone turns nurse, look out for the babies.

LecaL ropIcs-PESN,D AND sc.ssoRED.

-Years ago one of the faithful Holland County democrats attenked mass meeting in Springfeld, and came home aglow with enthusiasm and admiration for one of the speakers. While vigorously lauding the latter and all of his ntterances he was met with the question: Well, what did he say ?" Three times the question was re- peated, and each time only drew out a fresh laudation of the orator. But what did he say 9 persisted his questioner. "Can't you give us any of the views he ex- pressed?" Driven to bay at last, the re. ply came with hesitancy: 'Why-he said he said-Damn the nigger!'
 A Stafford mill employee recently re, signed rather than conform to mill regn. lation to which she objected. A day ol two later she asked to be reinstated, bni remarked to the employer that she ''should not think they would be so particular SC long as they were short handed"
