Racing Yestertlay.

AGRICULTURAL Park yesterday afternoon
there was running race, half mile and re-
peat, between Randolph & Nebeker's Burtie
r., James Fosters Amy B., and Frank
Henshaw's Allie Hill. Burtie is from Ne
vada, stout built sorrel, with strong style
of going, and is descendant of Joe Hooker.
Amy B. came here from Oregon, and Allie
Hill from Los Angeles. There was a very
small attendance of spectators, and not
much interest was felt in the race, as it was
generally believed that Burtie R., who sold
in the pools at SO against s. 80 for Amy
B. and 81 for Allie Hill, was too speedy for
the others. Frank Dupoister, the starter,
sent them off at the first attempt, and Bur
tie. after lettering behind three-fourths of
the distance. went to the front and won in
51l seconds, Amy B. half length behind,
and Allie distanced. Before the horses
started for the next race Tom Hazlett was
substituted as the rider of Amy B., but it
made no difference as to the result, Burtie
winning under strong pull, by nearly
two lengths, in SOL seconds.

Church this evening. The programme is a
very excellent one, and, with the list of
prominent yocalists announced, should De
greeted with crowded house. The open
ing number, 1.-THE Church Scene" from
the opera Of Faust is one of the finest
passages in Gounod's great work. Mrs.
Dr. Bruno takes the part of Margarita and
Mr.. Auerbach that of Mephistopholes. This
will be followed by Gade's weird and beau
tiful creation, The Erl-King's Daughter"

the Erl- Kings Daughter, Mr.. Sanborn will
sing the part of 0luf, and Mrs Howard that

O'Clock.
BURGLARY.-Saturday night the grocery
store of Samuel Simmons, at Twelfth and
G streets, was burglarized and robbed of
two or three hundred cigars, a quantity of
cigarettes and little change from the till.
The thief or thieves broke open rear door,

Yesterday that the contract for the con-
struction of the new cathedral was let last

HURRY ACROSS THE LINE.

1t seems to be generally admitted that
the extensive grazing lands in the Western
states and territories are being rapidly
trary right of presumption, to the exclusion
of late corners. 1t is said that very few
years will find the stock lands of Montana
unable to support another hoof, and that
then the cattle business, with its grea.
profits, will decline as rapidly as it
rose. 1t is known, however, that
just across the line in the Canadian North
west Territory there exists much fine graz
ing land as yet comparatively unoccuped.
American stock growers conversant with
this fact and anticipating the time when
great and untrodden pastures will no longer
exist in this country, have been driving
their cattle over to the Canadian grass
lands, thus taking very substantial and
satisfactory revenge for the attempted
seclusion by the Canadians of Amer
lean fishermen from the waters
claimed by the former. The Canadians,
though, have finally awakened to the fact
that their stock country is valuable and
after September 10th purpose levying tax
upon imported American cattle which will
be. practically prohbitory. Montana and
other stock men contemplating a change of
base would better therefore look alive, for if
they delay until after the time set the run
ming of big band of cattle across line
guarded by armed customs officers is apt to
be attended with considerable personal in
convenience

have been a good deal amused at some
talk have heard and read concerning 'the
East and 1.-The West" One would think each
was continent aud that the sea divided
them. ! confess I do not appreciate this
sense of separation between sisters-a
younger sister and an older sister. Nobody
will deny that the oloer sister had the start,
and possesses all the advantages that belong
to the one who has on her side the years and
experience.
AS well will no one deny that the West has
the advantages that go with freshness in the
race, the elan and energy of unworn facul-
ties. No one will denT that these respective
qualities are advantages, nor try to construe
either into drawbacks. No one will dispute
the right of either sister East or sister West
to prefer her own proper advantage; but
every fair-minded person will dispute the
right OF either to assert that her advantage
constitutes superiority. No one will pretend
to assume because person falls in love with
one of two sisters, that, therefore, these two
sisters are rivals. And if a person fall in
love with the younger rather than the older
of the two sisters everybody has right to
say that 1t is strange he could not see how
much more suitable a match with the older
one would have made for him, how much
more desirable a union with one nearer his
own age would have been; that there is no
fool like an old fool, etc., etc.
All of which, if you come to think it over,
proves nothing.

CABLE ORDINANCE PASSED.

Now that council has passed the cable
line ordinance and Mr.. LOWRY promises
to have the work of building the line under
contract by the first of October, the people
Of ST. Paul will feel pretty well assured
that the city is to enjoy the benefit of
rapid transit, and they can now turn their
attention to the agitation of some other i'm
provement scheme. The cable ordinance now
seems to be in condition to satisfy every
body. Mr.. LOWRY expresses his satisfac-
lion with the amendment adopted by
The council last night, requiring reduced
fare at certain hours in the morning and
evening. for the benefit of laborng people
going to and returning from their work.
Consequently there is nothing to
delay the progress of the work and
by another season st. Paul will
be out of the woods so far as system
Of rapid transit is concerned. The change
that will be produced in the railway system
by the building of the cable line will neces-
state the construction of other horse car
lines so as to accommodate people who will
not be in convenient distance of the cable
line.

AN ENERvATING CLIMATE.

Contrary to the general belief, belief
well maintained by the official health re-
ports. the climate of Iowa must be of a
peculiarly unhealthy and enervating nature.
Cedar Rapids, particularly, must be exposed
to malarial and other deleterious influences
requiring the intervention of medicines of
an especially stimulating character. The
citizens of that thriving lowa1town would
probably be the first to deny their
chosen place of residence did not
possess, in common with every other
Western city, the cleanest bill of health of
any place west of the Ohio river, but the
official record would not bear out their as
sertion, for it appears by this paper filed i'll
the county auditors Office, during the month
of July sickness existed in Cedar Rapids to
such an alarming extent that for purely
medicinal purposes, the drug stores of the
city sold 1,S00 bottles of beer 324 pints of
whisky and 1873 bottles of ale. Of
course these = stimulants could have
been procured only to be used
as medicine, for Iowa is prohibition state
and the law distinctly states liquor shall not
be sold for other than medicinal purposes
or except upon a physicians prescription.
1t is not to be supposed that Iowa physi-
clans would be Influenced by pecuniary
considerations to give prescriptions for fluids
that cheer and inebriate simply when the
average Iowa citizen felt thirsty and asked
for them. Therefor it must be concluded
that the published records are all wrong
and that instead of being one of the health
lest cities In the country Cedar Rapids is
one of the unhealthiest and constant con-
sumption of stimulants of an Intoxicating
nature is necessary to enable her to pre-
serve her normal balance.

AThourl,1Iess Driver.

A well-to-do appearing man, seated in a
we'll used topless buggy and driving well
disposed old horse drives along Third street.
The mans legs. or at least one of them,
bangles over the side of the vehicle and finds
temporary resting spot on the step sus-
pended from the buggy frame. He is
smoking. Having cigar in his mouth he
goes without coat. His waistcoat is open
and exposes a goodly portion of wilted
shirt bosom. He handles himself as though
accustomed to driving.
All at once he tightens up the relns and
drives the horse into the sidewalk. The
horse stops. Throwing the lines over the
dashboard he jumps out of the buggy and
goes into a store. Flies bother the horse
and he kicks and thrashes around to get rid
of the tiny tormentors. Not being hitched
the horse walks off in his vain endeavor to
rid himself of the flies. A few men on the
sidewalk yell ''whoap' and the horse brings
himself to a standstiil.
Way up the street newspaper is thrown
down by man who, having read the con-
tents, throws it away. For a second only
the paper rests on the street. Famed by a
puff of wind the paper is unfolded and
thus, Offering broader surface to the wind,
is carried down the thoroughfare. Scurry-
ing along, barely touching the street, it
goes under passing vehicles and becomes
temporarily entangled in the spokes of the
fast-revolving wheels. Not long is it thus
retarded. for, free again and acting with
the freshening breeze, it hurries along as if
intent to reach a certain destination at a
given time. 1t comes down to the old buggy
attached to the restless old horse. Under
the buggy it goes, and, without a moments
warning. flaps itself around the legs of the
halterless horse.
The old horse is started. He attempts to
free himself from the grasp of the unknown
article and prances around as if practicing
a polka redowa step. His efforts are not
successful and the paper clings to his
hind legs. At last he dashes off. The
runaway goes down the street. and is finally
captured after having wrecked the buggy to
which he is attached.
The owner of the runaway comes out of
the store at the end of his visit, and ex-
presses surprise at the disappearance of his
trusted old horse. He soon learns of the
runaway and starts off to find the animal.
Again in his possession. the owner whips
the horse and cannot understand that he,
and not the horse. is to blame for the whole
affair.

HErELEPHONE CASE,

While the BELL Telephone company was
bracing itself up for vigorous struggle in
the federal courts to protect it's patent it's
opponents have taken short cut on it by
securing from the interior department re-
hearing Oh the application of the GRAY
patent. 1t looks as if the BELL company
would be immersed ON the very
ground that it secured an underhand adj
vantage of the other claimants to the tele-
phone patent. This time there will be a
fair hearing and square deal, and if the
BELL company comes out ahead it will be
because it deserves to do so. If it doesn't
come out ahead there will be a big pile of
damages to be paid over to the successful
competitor.

The Street Snrinkler

A common wa 5er-tight box wagon-a
wagon that has formerly been painted blue.
as traces of that color are visible in the
water-soaked boards-rumbles up Laurel
avenue. AS it moves along behind two
easy-going horses that have seen better days
the water oozes out OF the cracks between
the boards forming the box and drips down
and off into the dusty street. A seat-a
species of chair with high sides and back
occupies the front of the wagon. The
seat is shaded by an umbrella that serves as
an advertisement for some local establish
ment.
In the seat is man. He is not burdened
with any great amount OF superfiuous cloth
ing, as he shows that it is warm day and
that he is fully prepared for it. A large
straw hat is the most conspicuous article of
his wearing apparel. The hat is yellow
with age. The rim is strengthened by hav-
ing green covering on the under side.
The green cloth is sewed on, and not
only serves as a protector for the
eyes of the wearer against the noon-tiine
glare of the summer sun. but enables him
to take it off or put it on without breaking
the straw. His white hair and red face APP
pear to disadvantage by contrast with the
queer homemade addition to his hat. A
checked shirt. blue trousers and leather
slippers complete the outfit At times
pipe and the white smoke of tobacco are
seen in his mouth.
An iron rod passes along the top of the
box. 1t acts on the tin sprinkler in the ex-
IRENE rear of the wagon, and is worked
easily by the occupant of the elevated seat.
He draws UP to hydrant, fills the wagon
box, gets on the seat and, having turned on
the sprinkler, drives ahead.
Over the same territory he goes day after
day, and at the same rate of speed his
horses move over the sprinkling circuit
They never seem to be in hurry except
when the clouds are very general and the
approach of storm is most evident. They
are in hurry then to get home.

ing events. He drives as if he was

of witnessing the results OF his own benefi-
cence. The enjoyment and satisfaction re-
sulting from it would have been that eX-
perienced by the man who lives to eat fruit
plucked from tree of his own planting.
Why it is that men who are fortunate
in accommodating large fortunes do not dis
pose of their estates before death can only
be explained upon the theory that when
once the passion for money getting takes
possession of a mans nature, the passion
for holding on to what he gets grows equally
strong, and the nearer he approaches the
portals of the tomb the more closely does
he cling to his treasures.

Some years ago, at the Fifth Av enue thea

from the managers box behind the scenes TO
