have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department.; ana we ex-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors'

renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady surrey dam
OF Henry Clay Tom Thumb, g. s. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed G. 5. OF Blggarts

This is pre-eminently the kind of informa'
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper for the history OF the horse. III
all such information there Is included mucn
local and general history. Indeed, the trac
ing of some of these pedigrees seems very
similar to a romance, in which one sees MOI
only the animated bearing and noble ACTOR
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty o
the country through which he travels.

THE TARIFF.
Mr.. Battell's Letter Continued

Mr.. Battell's Letter C%ontinued.I
Mr.. Stewart says: "We have heard Il
good deal about the tax on the poor
mans blanket, but after Mr.. Mills made
his speech five-pound blankets were i'm
ported by way of experiment. They
cost at wholesale in England S4.65: the
duty was S4.25 and the customs fee G5
cents, making the cost here 5000 a pair:
while an equally good article of precisely
the same weight made in this country
was selling at 1920 a pair" Mr.. Stew
art does not give his authority for these
data. but we will assume them correct.
If they are true. they show that such
blankets can be made nearly or quite as
cheaply in this country as in Europe, and
if there was no duty on wool perhaps
could be made more cheaply. There is
much reason to suppose this is so with a
large proportion of manufactured arti-
Giles. 1t follows there is no need of a
protective tariff on such goods.
Mr.. Stewart gives quite a paragraph to
the politics of the question, especially as
it affects the Mills bill, etc. We do not
differ with him much if any in this para
graph. We do not like the Democratic
party any better than he does. We have
no doubt that politics has gone largely
into the Mills bill, as we'll as into the
management of civil service reform, etc.,
by the administration. What we ask is
that the Republicans should give us a
better bill. They can, if they will, offer
US a better bill than the Mills bill, take
the tax off from sugar and leave it entire
on tobacco. Then thousands would sup
port them who will not now, but, of
course, the Chicago platform and its can.
didates, who have said they liked ii, are
booked for their trip.
And who wanted the bill? The man.
ufacturers? No. The farmers? No,
The laborers didn't want it. Who did,
then? The importers, the New YorB
Times. the Southerners and Mr.. Mills"
Mr.. Stewart knows very well why al
this time there should be a reduction OF
the revenue. 1t is larger than we need,
The accumulation cannot be boarded. Ii
must either be spent or the taxes from
which it is derived reduced. Is Mr.. Stew,
art in favor of spending the surplus?
There is a suggestion that he is in his
remarks on it farther on. If so, will he
tell us how he would spend it. And is
this the position of his party?
Mr.. Stewart expresses his astonish-
ment that the Irishmen can vote for Mr.,
Cleveland, and he goes on to talk about
what England has done for Ireland, as il
that had anything to do with Mr.. Cleve-
land. We can tell Mr.. Stewart one rea-
son why the Irish will support Mr.. Cleve-
land, because he is a broad-gauge honest
man, because In spite of naturally quite
a Puritanical streak of character, when

SIR PETER

That noted horse. Sir Peter Teazel, i'm
ported from England by b. Tallmage, f.
Starr and B. Norton in the year 1897.
His breed and pedigree has been consid-
cred to be equal to any horse that could
be selected in England. Sir Peter is
dark brown, 1G4 hands high; elegantly
made. His stock is large and many of
his colts very fine. Sir Peter will stand
the ensuing season at the stable of Jona-
than Beach in Goshen, and will be put to
mares at the very reduced price of 50 the
season. sure foal may be contracted for.
Proper attention will be given and pas
turage provided for mares, by

stand the ensuing season at the stables of

field. He will begin standing at Wad-
hams & Thompson's on the first Monday

field, where he will stand on Wednesday
and Thursday of each week, during the
season.. He will be let to mares at the
reduced price of $3.50 the leap and So the
season. Sure foals may be contracted
for on reasonable terms. Orinoko is a
beautiful iron grey, full 16 hands high !;
is six years old this grass, and was sired
by the noted horse Brilliant; his dam was
an excellent blooded mare. A c%ontinuage
on long pedigrees is so contrary to my feel
ings that | shall neglect the long pream-
bic. Those DESTROYS of that search will
find upon inquiry that he is equal, if not
superior. to any horse in the State. Those
gentlemen who prefer a horse on account
of his stock may satisfy themselves by
calling at his stand in Goshen. where
may be seen some of his colts, which |
presume will satisfy the eye of the spec.
tator. He is unequalled as a sire within
many miles. ISAAC CARRINGTON.

MAXWELL'S BODY

jealousy Guarded by "Au Unknown, But
Beautiful Lady"
ST. LOUIS, September 7.-An attempt to
steal the body of Hugh NJ. Brooks, alias
Maxwell, executed August 10 for tine mur-
der of O. Arthur Prsller, has created quite
sensation here and developed some
strange facts. At q very early hour yes
terday morning pistol shot in Calvary
Cemetery attracted the attention of Huck-
ster Peter Reitz, coming to the city with a
load of truck, and few minutes later
closed vehicle passed him on the road,
the team attached on gallop.
Following the team came man NAM
ed John Shevlin, who eXcitedly in
formed Reitz that the occupants of the
fleeing vehicle had made an attempt 10
steal the body of the murderer Maxwell,
whose case attracted worldwide atten-
ton. An investigation developed the fact
that Shsvlin had been employed and well
paid by Sn unknown but beautiful lady to
guard Maxwells grave at night. He was
on duty when three men entered the cenl-
etery and started for the grave Of the little
chloroformer. Shevlin fired his pistol and
the men fed. No trace of them has yet
been found. They left shovel and rope
at the graveside An effort will be made
to learn who the woman is who pays 30
liberaily for guarding Maxwell's grave.

OTHER BASE BALL HEW
From the Tri-Ssts and National Leagues and

The weather yesterday was very uncer-
tain, and all afternoon it looked "a if the
rain might fall in torrents any moment.
This naturally had very bad effect on
the base ball games on the Island Park,
several hundred people staying away who
would have otherwise attended. The
grounds were in terrible condition, the
mud being deep and sticky. As 1t was
only about 200 people turned out num-
Der of whom were ladies.
THE FIRST GAME.
Jackson won the first game, not by su-
perior playing. but assisted by the home
team's errors, some hard hitting in the
third inning and the umpire, who made
several rank decisions against the home
club, and which the audience resented by
bowling at him. 1t was certainly hard
game to lose, but it was lost, and that set
ties it. The home team hit Hart very
hard, getting total Of seventeen bases of
him, while the visitors got only nine hits,
with total of only eleven. As Nicholson
did not arrive in time for the first game,
Yak played second and did it we'll
Vests three-base hit over centrefield hill
would have Deen q home run if the grounds
had been in any sort of condition. Fol
lowing is the score:

been created in this quiet little town by
the arrest of a combination Of counterfeit

and there were three daughters, two sons
and Mrs Russell. They rented house
and settled down apparently to house
keeping, A couple of weeks later man
named Boehrling arrived and took
his abode with the Russell fam
lily. He was missed a few days after
ward, and it was supposed he had left
town, yesterday, people living in the
neighborhood were aroused by q noise of
breaking glass and discovered Boehrling
breaking through the window in the Rus
sell House. Reaching the ground he
started to run and was pursued aud cap
tured by two Of the women. They were
proceeding to drag him back to the house,
when the neighbors interfered. Boehrlipg
then told his story, he said the Russells
were experienced counterfeiters and that
he had worked with them, but quarrelled
and intended to leave, they made him a
prisoner and kept him confined in the
house for month. Hearing that the men
we're away he determined to escape
Officers searched the house and found q
complete counterfeitiug outfit, there were
moulds, metals, dies and bucket of S.
