Correspondence Chicago Herald.
The whole crowd within sight of the
track numbered about a quarter of a mill
ion, and, mind you, Pm not drawing on
my imagination. This morning at s:45 a
cannon shot proclaimed to the populace the
fact that Nusred-Deen had started from
his palace to the racecourse. The troons.
some $4,000 in all, were already
awaiting his coming, drawn m
in semi-circle lining part of the
track. His majesty rode in a gorgeous
state carriage, thickly incrusted with gold
and jewels, followed and preceded by
retinue of thousand servants and officials.
The procession opened with an elephant of
leviathan proportions, hung all over with
gold brocade and cornak on his neck.
Everybody had to keep step with him. He
was followed by a numerous camel artil-
lery, the guns being pointed straight
at the sky. But to speak of the
races themselves. There were six
of them. The first was six times
around the track (three farsakhs. or
exactly eleven and half English miIes)
the second five times, and so on till the last
one, once around the track. These horses
here cannot run a short distance as fast as
the fastest OF our American horses or as the
English racehorses, but they excel in long
distance races. The eleven and a half
miles Of the first race were made in 81
minutes and 40 seconds, which makes lust
about two and half minutes per mile. Of
course one of the shah's horses won by

Photographic Posing.

81 am sometimes moved to wonder, {"
writes New York correspondent,
whether the photographs which line the
shop-windows of Broadway are considered
beautiful by their feminine originals. What
might be called contortion craze has in
vaded the photograph gallery, and women
have their pictures taken in poses than
would have m ade their mothers gasp with
amaZement twenty years ago. This is not
only true of actresses, but also of women
who are socially eminent. One well-known
leader of New York society-not Mrs.
Potter, by the way-is on exhibition in nu-
merous copies of a photograph which de-
picts her in gorgeous evening attire, reclin-
ing at half length upon low chair, with
her arms stretched back over her head
holding huge feather fan aloft. She is
looking at the fan, and the effort throws
her head so far back that the tendons of
her throat stand cut like whipcords. Even
Miss Ada Rehan, who is usually acknowl-
edged to be a woman of good taste, has
had herself photographed in a somewhat
similar manner. Only the head and neck
are shown. The view is from in front and
the chin is held so high in the air that one
sees nothing but long throat very much
strained and topping off in sharp-pointed
chin. Above the chin may be seen, in a
dim horizontal perspective. the features of
Miss Rehan, the nose alone rising distinct
from the somewhat blurred hue of the face.
The photograph is life-size. The effect is
unpleasant.

STORY OF A BROKEN HEARr.p
Real Reason why James Buchan
an Remained a Bachelor.


an Remained Bachelor.
Washington Letter in Chicago News.
President Buchanan's love story is his
toric, and reads more like the conventional
novel of fifty years ago than plain fact.
But 1t happened just as tragedies happen
every day that are many times stranger
than fiction. When he was poor young
lawyer ne became engaged to Miss Coleman,
who belonged to one of the richest, staidest
and, it may be assumed, narrowest-minded
and most purblind families in Philadelphia.
The Colemans by no means approved of
the match, but nevertheless the
young couple became engaged. Mr..
Buchanan was then practicing
law in remote part of Phila-
dephia. and in those days of stage coaches
and saddle-bags correspondence was liable
to Interruptions. Miss CoIeman's letters
became irregular and then stopped alto
gether. He wrote repeatedly. but got no
reply. At last he determined to go to
Philadelphia, but at Lancaster the stage
met with an accident and Mr.. Buchanan
suffered a broken leg. He wrote again as
soon as he was able but still heard nothing.
Laid up in country tavern, in the midst of
phenomenal snowstorm, for six weeks,
embltteeed him, and he wrote Miss Cole
man a letter OF fierce reproaches, and then
wrote no more, Now for Miss Coleman's
part. Her eminently respectable family
from the beginning Intercepted all of her
letters and all of Mr.. Buchanan's. She
made all the appeals to him woman could
make, but she never had line from him
after he left Philadelphia, except that last
cutting letter-and as, unfortunately. it
contained nothing but his remuneration of
her, she could know nothing of what had
preceded it. The eminentIy respectable
FAMILY were satiSfied-the match was
broken off by means that would have landed
them all in the penitentiary in these days.
A year Or two afterward Mr.. Buchanan
was in Philadelphia, and at ball came
face to face with Miss Coleman. Neither
spoke, and Mr.. Buchanan paid marked at
tentlon to another girl present. That night
q young friend who was staying with Miss
Coleman said to her, while the two girls
were alone in their room: ibid you see
Mr.. Buchanan's attentions to Miss?
Now they might have been yours had YOU
recognized him." Miss Coleman began to
sob violently. She would not be soothed,
and her friend, becoming alarmed called
the family. OF what next happened two
accounts have been given; one was that she
had taken poison, and her sufferings after
ward came from that-but those
who were near her said that
she was simply suffering from
uncomfortable mental anguish. Towards
morning, when her pulse had got SO low
that it was scarcely perceptible, and her
nervous excitement had changed into pro-
found stupor, the doctors were sent for.
But she was past help. They never reused
her, and she died the next day of what the
doctors called nervous exhaustion, but
which goes by the name of broken heart.
Then the truth came to Mr.. Buchanan's
ears, and from that day his bachelorhood
was assured.

Minneapolis dropped hard-fought and
interesting game to st. Paul yesterday on
the Minneapolis grounds-a game in which
Minneapolis outfielded its opponents, but
which st. Paul won by hard batting. Cleve-
lands work with the stick was wonderful.
When the game opened he stepped to the
plate and the first ball pitched was knocked
high over the left field fence for home
run, and was the longest hit ever known on
the ground. He made also single, a
double and a triple during the game, plling
, up ten bases and virtually winning the
game. Koran was knocked out OF the box
| in the fourth inning and Sowders took his
place, the result being three singles during
the rest of the game. In the fourth inning,
Rhue drove the ball to center field too hot
for Frazee and before it could be helded ne
had crossed the plate. In the third, Sulll-
van filled the bases on called pals, "hen
outs by Allen and O'Rourke and single by
Sowders brought in three runs. Crooks nit
safely to third, but SowderS missed third
base in running in and was called out
CLEVELAND's DOUBLE
in the second brought in run, and his
triple in the fourth brought i'll two more.
He tried to make home run out of his hit,
but was caught and nipped at the plate.
From the fourth to the ninth inning no
runs were made, brilliant fielding retiring
the sides in one two-three order, Foley's
one-hand catch of hot liner from Clark's
bat being the feature. Minneapolis went in
on the last inning with the score standing &
to against it. Rhue's long hit was cap
tured by Frazee, Weber took first on hit
by the ball and was advanced to second on
Horans out, coming in On Foley's safe
single past short. Allen was thrown out
at first and st. Paul came IN with the score
tied. Douthett hit safely to left stole sec
ond and reached third on a wild pitch.
cleveland came to bat and drove a hot liner
over Lynch's head, scoring Douthett and
winning the game. The play of Weber
was especially good, and that of Crooks.
Foley and Lynch for Minneapolis and
Clark and Douthett for ST. Paul was COM
mendable Benefits umpiring was the
cause of some kicking. but he was impair
tial and was at least firm, keeping Barnes
off the ground and the players in their
places by salutary threats OF fines. The
score is as follows:

what False Hair Costs.

s'What is the longest piece of hair you
ever handled?" was the question asked of a
San Francisco hair-dealer.
81 sold piece of hair in New York to
Mr.. Diblee, a dealer there, that was
seventy-four inches long. For this I re-
ceived $40 an ounce. There were ten
ounces in the piece. He made it into a
switch and sold it to customer for $75O
have some hair now that is fifty odd
inches long" Here the dealer showed the
reporter a tress of dark brown hair that
reached from the shoulder to the floor when
held perpendicularly. This" he said,
''is worth $40 an ounce"
''Costs something, don't ftp"
s'Umph, that's not a circumstance. Here
is a packet of white hair-lift it,"
1t weighed ton, comparatively speak
ing, as it was very small bundle.
That" he continued, ellsworth $50 an
ounce, wholesale"
"Then you can stow away a good many
thousand dollars worth in small store?"
Swell, should smile. There is row
of switches hanging there that you could
pack in small valise that are worth at
least $4,000. There is shelf full OF small
boxes of hair that is imported in small rolls
ready to work into wigs, etc., that are
worth on an average $l2 an ounce"
