Courage of the Late Dan Mace.

New York Herald.
Maces courage under all circumstances was
never questioned. One instance will suffice. He
matched the gray geldlng Meddiesome against a
mare called Little Rats, two races for $500
each. The FIRST race was trotted at Scarborough.
Me-, and Dan thus described the days incident
II saw from the first after we had scored that
they thought they had overmatched Rats, for the
starting judge gave the word when [ was headed
the other way / ran Meddlesome, and saved
my distance They gave the mare the heat
which was just what l wanted, for that bound
the race. Then they all wanted to forfeit, and
tried to tip over the judges stand, and were
going to whip my boy. One big butcher said he
could lick any man from Boston, Then some
one throw a bucket of water all over me as l
came up to score for the next heat, and another
fellow tried to put a handkerchief over my
horses head ] tried to borrow n pistol, but
couldn't; but finally got pair of iron knuckles
and put them in my pocket for emergencies
The big butcher took out long handled cheese
parer, and was going to carve me; and, on the
whole, it was a lively time. / finally drove the
butcher in his hole and won the third and
fourth heats. Then / told the boy to get every
thing together, and be ready to cut as as the
last heat was trotted and to drive the horse to
some farmhouse, as he might be killed or in
jured in the stable. won, started the horse
off, and, settling with few of the bullies got
aboard the cars. ! did not trot the other race,
as they were more for fighting than trotting"

A "Reminiscences of Cleveland.


A Buffalo man told me rather good story on
Cleveland to day. He said: "Some years ago.
before Buffalo was as well supplied with rail
roads as she is to- day. it was the custom to un-
load cattle which came from the West over the
Canadian roads at Black Rock and drive them
across the city to the cattle-yards of the New
York Central railroad We had in Buffalo a
wealthy old German merchant named John
Grelner who was mortally afraid of Texas steers
which sometimes ran through the streets and
played havoc with the pedestrians One day.
just after Cleveland's term as sheriff had
expired, he was walking up Main street,
Court street and across a little park, down
Clinton street, to East Buffalo. Cleveland had
several friends with him. and they all felt happy,
just having left Ham Courters celegrated Demo
cratic resort for the thirsty. Across the way old
John Greiner was hobbling along on his crrtches
He had the rheumatism very badly, and thought
crutches were absolutely necessary for perambu-
lation. Cleveland put his hands to his mouth
and yelled: Texas steers. John! Texas steers.
That was enough for old John Greiner He for
got everything but his dread of the longhorns.
He dropped his crutches and ran like a deer up
Main street He was not seen again for a
week When he did come out it was without
those crutches. He has never used them since,
and has never had touch of rheumatism since
that day.
Cleveland and the boys returned to Court
ELS and several bottles disappeared before they
left again. 1t is unnecessary to add that there
were no steers in sight"

An Untimely Death.
Washington Lee

washington Letter.
Since Grants illness and the close vigil which
the New York reporters have kept over this
house, there are any number of stories afioat of
the heartlessness of these same reporters. They
are described as callous and hard-hearted and
also as inclined to secure much amusement as
possible out of the work assigned to them. In
this connection heard good story connected
with the illness of Commodore Vanderbilt and
Charles OConor in New York some years ago.
When Vanderbilt lay on his death-bed," said
an old New York reporter now in charge of
the Washington Office of one of the New
York dailies, lit was difficult to get into
the house to find out anything definite in regard
to his condition. Right across the way there was
a vacant house from which the Vanderbilt man
sion could be commanded. The morning papers
dubbed together, and rented that house, and in
stalled their reporters in it to keep watch. Well
the vigil got to be exceedingly monotonous be-
fore the old gentleman died, and the boys got
restless In fact, they were so reckless it was
found necessary, more than once, to call in the
police to watch the reporters. At last. after the
morning papers had spent nearly $40, 600 in
watching the old villain, he up and died in time
for the afternoon papers. you can just imagine
the disgust of the men who had been watching
that house for weeks for the morning papers,

INDIANAPOLIS WINS AGAIN.
The Milwaukee Club Contributes Another
Ball to the Home Nine.

The Indianapolis club again demonstrated its
superiority to the Milwaukee, yesterday after
noon, by defeating them by the one-sided score
of 8 to z Up to the sixth inning the game was
very close and interesting but in the sixth and
seventh the home team profted so largely by
two or three fielding errors, and the stupidity of
Foster, the visitors second baseman,
that the contest was Invested of
its interesting features. The Milwaukees
scored first in the first inning, Burns taking first
on hit toright, going to second on Poorman's
bad overthrow to McQuery and crossing the
plate on Schoenecks two-base hit to left
They failed to score again until the ninth, when
Burns again got his base on an excusable error
by McQuery, stealing second, taking third on a
wild pitch and tallying on Moriarity's muff of
Scfoeneck's easy fly. The home club made its
first run in the second inning on base
hit by Collins, an error by German,
and two-base by Moriarity; its
second in the fourth on Fosters tumble OF Poor
mans hit, passed ball and single by Thomp-
son. In the sixth three runs were added, as fol-
lows Donnelly got his base clean hit and
took second on Poorman's hit from Foster to
Schoeneck; Thompson made a clean hit, and
both he and Donnelly advanced base a
passed ball, and scored on Moriaritys long drive
for three bases, the latter scoring on Falchs
third passed ball. In the seventh Keenan, and
McKeon each hit safe after Crane went out on
three strikes. Donnely then struck out,
and Poorman, who followed hit an
easy ground ball to Foster, forcing McKeon to
run to second and keenan, to third. Foster got
the ball and attempted to cut off McKeons adj
vance to second. The latter stopped midway,
however, as though eonceding himself caught,
and fhpnrx hall o,.l c&o al
evidently thinking the side was out. Thereupon
Mckeon ambled up to second, Poorman having
taken first and keenan, third, and the bases were
filled. Thompson then knocked ground ball to
Lee who threw wild to second in an effort to cut
Poorman of and all three base runners scored
Following is the score:

Cancer Specialist Who Thinks that Gem
eral Grant Is Not in Immediate Danger.
Boston Special.
DIR. George r. Elliott, Of New York, the
specialist who made the microscopic exami-
nation of the tissues taken from General
Grants throat, the result of which was pub
lshed in the Medical Record, giving the pub
lie its first intmations that the illustrious suffer
ers disease was of cancerous nature was in
Boston on Saturday on professional business.
He said, in reply to questions, that the micro
scopical findings were characteristic Of cpl
thelioma, epithelial cancer, which is the least
malignant of all forms of cancer. 1t is local
lied disease and does not tend to affect the in
ternal organs: cancer of this kind on the
face oftentimes remains fifteen years without
producing any serious trouble. In General
Grants case, the trouble being located in the
throat, it becomes much more serious, but still
the disease is of the same superficial character.
DR.. Elliott said that the low state in which the
General was two weeks ago was due to the de-
bilitated state of his physical condition, and
further expressed the opinion that he has not
been at any time in any immediate danger of
death. His life, the doctor thinks, will be pro-
longed for considerable period.
