of the state. His racing operations
were not confined to Georgia, but he
attended the meetings in the adjoining
states.
On one of his visits to Alabama Oh a
racing tour, he by some means got pos
session OF the celebrated horse, and
brought him, then quite old, to his beau
tiful Georgia home for breeding pur-
pose. Being an expert lin hOrSefiesh,
and thoroughly satisfied that the horse
was one that Pakenham had brought
from India to England. and thence to
the United States, he was convinced
that it was of pure Arabian stock, and
determined to take advantage of
the opportunity to improve his
own. After keeping him sew
eral years MIR. Bird died, and the horse
passed into the hands of his son, and he
used to water and wash "Old Paken-

rocking of the ships in which he had
made such long voyages.

THE WAR is STILL ON
Rate Cutting Among Western
Railroads Goes Mer-
rily On.
The Rock Island Declines to
Participate in the
Fight.
Live Stock Rates Reduced
from Kansas City to
Chicago.
The Wisconsin Central Elk.
tends the Cut to Duluth
and Ashland.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE rate cutting
bmong the Western railways was con-
tinued to-day by another reduction in
rates between Chicago and st. Paul,
said to have been principally made by
the Chicago, st. Paul Il Kansas City,
and at once met by the Milwaukee d
st. Paul and Burlington & Northern,
the Rock Island declining to partici-
pate. The new rates are first and sec
Ond class, 20 cents a hundred; third and
fourth, Is cents; fifth, 10 cents; sixth,
cents. The reduction was cents first
class, l cent second, 4 cents third,
cent fourth and cents fifth. Later in
the day the Wisconsin Central
put these same rates into Du-
luth, and the Northwestern and
other roads will probably follow
Monday morning. The Milwaukee tS
st. Paul reduced the livestock rate
from Kansas City and southwestern
Missouri river points to Chicago from
$50 to $50 carload, all Kansas City
lines meeting it. The Iowa roads, how
ever. did not follow, and will try to keep
the rates ut SIS for a time. The Rock
Island reduced the lumber rate, Chicago
to Kansas City, from 10 cents to cents
a hundred. This was done on account
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
applying the Council Bluffs differential
from the Mississippi river, and the
Rock Island preferred to reduce the
Chicago rather than disturb the differ
entail. A slight reduction in packing
house products, Kansas City to Chicago.
from 1215 to II cents, was also made.
The general managers and the other
prominent officials are unanimously of
the opinion that the war will not be set
tied within three months.

Mr.. Smells Funeral.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE funeral of
the murdered millionaire, Amos j.
Smell, took place to-day at noon, from
his late residence on Washington boule-
ward. The house and grounds were
thronged with people, and great crowds
filled all the adjacent streets. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev.
DIR. Thomas, of the Peoples church,
and were very imposing. There are no
new developments in the hunt for the
murderers, and the police are as much
IN the dark as ever, with the odds more
and more against them as the days go
by. Chief of Detectives Henshaw says
that so far the police department has
not an inch of ground on which to stand
III the case. The reports of the arrest
of parties against whom there were any
reasonable ground of suspicion are
without foundation.

1t is, however, well-fOunded belief
that this form of crime is every year

perpetrated, the difficulty of obtaining

cal test had not then been discovered,
he is said to have received scores Of LETT,
tiers begging the name of this substance,
though, of course, all of the applicants
protested to be instigated by scientific
curiosity alone. About twenty-five years
ago there was well-founded alarm over
the report which affirmed that secret
poisoning was by no means unknown
among the English agricultural pOpula-
ton, and more than once there have
been strong suspicious that children in
burial clubs have been put away" by
means of one of those narcotics which
are still permitted to be sold under the
guise of patent medicine. But beyond
this the doctor, the policeman and the
chemist may for the present be regarded
as masters of the situation.

THE WOMAN MAN-EATER
Who Has Reformed and Become
Vegetarian.

Very few people in Louisville know
that Fiji Islander. genuine man.
eater, lives in their midst, but it is so.
She-for it is woman and nameless-is
very strange-appearing character, and
it is worth long walk to take peep at
her cannibalship. "Spotted johnny" as
the man-eater has been called, may be
found at any hour of the day or night at
the little cottage of Patrick Cain, an en-
gineer on the Newport News and Missis-
sippi Valley railway, 1880 West Ken
lucky street says the Chicago Herald.
She never goes further away from
home than the immediate neighborhoOd
in which she lives, and is quite as inof-
fensiye a person, though not quite as
beautiful, perhaps, as one would care
to meet. "Spotted Johnny" was
brought to this country in 1872 from the
Fiji islands, along with small band of
her people, by Forepaugh, of circus
fame. She ran away from her captors
while the show was in PottsYille,
Pa, and no one knows how
she got to Nashville, where she was
finally discovered doing drudgery, the
only sort Of work she seemed capable
of, for family that had taken the fan
taStic and repulSive OutcaSt in out of
che cold. An effort was made by the
circus people to reclaim her, but Johnny
did not like the idea, and expressed
herself so forcibly that her friends sent
the circus men about their business.
At this time Johnny was averse to
wearing clothing, and it was only with
great persuasion that she could be in
duced to keep the simplest garments
on her. She ate raw meat with avidity,
and cared for little else. Now she is a
vegetarian, and scarcely ever touches
meat, though she eats fish. She wears
clothing just as any one else in her po-
sit'on would. She is very much de-
voted to Mrs. Gains children, and they
are equally fond of her. The family
with whom the escaped cannibal had
taken refuge in Nashville removed to a
distant city leaving Johnny with Mr..
and Mrs. Cain, who were then
living in the Tennessee capital. This
was more than five years ago. AT first
Mrs. Gains children were much afraid
OF their strange servant, but this was
soon conquered by the mildness of her
manner and her simple devotion. Her
intelligence is of very low order, and
she is able to perform only the plainest
labor. The children of the neighbour
hood, and some of the older ones, too,
for that matter, staud considerably in
awe of the strange being, but as she
seldom leaves the house and interferes
with no one, but little is ever seen or
heard of her.

ELECTRIC LIGHT IN HOUSES.
No DynamOs Needed--Electrici
Furnished by the Cart-LOad.


The ball room of Mr.. Ogden Mills
residence, Sixty-ninth street and Fifth
avenue, was lighted by means of storage
batteries on Monday night, the 10th
inst, says the Electrical Review. The
occasion was ball and house warming,
and a large assemblage of the
leading members of New York So
ciety were present. The ball room
was brilliantly illuminated by sixty
sirteen-candle-lamps, the electricity
being supplied from the batteries which
had been charged on the previous Fri
day at the factory in Newark, carried to
Mr.. Mills residence on Saturday,
placed in position in the cellar and con-
nected with the lamps on Monday, and
used from $3.50 p. m. until $3.50 a. m. the
following day without single interup-
ton of any kind. The effect of the
lights was very beautiful, and many ex-
presslOnS of admiration were heard ON
all sides.
Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt ordered
sufficient storage batteries to illuminate
his Fifth avenue mansion on the Occa-
sion of his grand ball, given on the 23d
inst.
This is the first instance in which
storage batteries have been used in
America to furnish temporary light for
special social occasions, and its success
is likely to lead to large business of
this character in all prominent cities.

THE END OF THE STORY.

You were standing alone in the silence.
When passed down the stair that night,
Alone with your thoughts in the shadow,
Away from the fires soft light.
And never greeting you gave me.
Not word your lips let fall,
As came from the light to your side, dear,
That night, in the old oak hall
But knew, ah, so we'll, the secret
You fancied you kept unseen,
And hated the pride that was standing
Like shadow our hearts between,
So told you, that night, a story,
And you listened as in a spell,
Till / saw that you guessed the meaning
OF the story tried to tell
You fain would have silenced me then, dear;
To leave 1t untold were best
Too late. for learned, as you drew me
To your heart, that you knew the rest!
And the shadow passed by from between us
Forever, beyond recall,
As you whispered the end of the story
That night, in the old oak hall!

THE LAST CUT ACCEPTED.
Where the War Is Likely to End
IA RaiIrOader,s Opinions.

The cut made by the Milwaukee & st.
Paul on Friday. from Chicago to st. Paul,
was met by the st. Paul q Kansas City.
The Omaha will meet it Monday. The
Albert Lea did not meet it yesterday, but
probably will. The Wisconsin Central
not only met the cut but applied it both
ways, and extended it to Duluth, Ash
land, Superior and West Superior. This
places these points on an equality with
st. Paul & Minneapolis. All the. other
roads will probably fall into line to-mOr-
row. This is the greatest rate war ever
known in this country, covering the
most miles and territory. 1t is also the
most revenue. One of the prominent
railroad men from Chicago remarked
that he saw statement published in the
GLOBE few days ago that no road out
of Chicago was paying its running eX-
penseS. THAT is the truth" he said.
''They are all losing money, and | am
afraid they will continue to lose money
for some time to come. Everybody APP
pears determined to fight, and no diSpO-
Sition is manifested anywhere, as far as
/ can see, to stop the fight. Those roads
that have a bonded debt and preferred
and common stock, on which they are
paying dividends and interest which
amounts TO several thousand dollars
day, which they are obliged to pay or
go into bankruptcy, will suffer. More
than forty roads are involved in this
fight, whose freight revenues have been
reduced from 80 to rs per cent during
the last fifteen days. If this fight don't
stop, and that, too, very quickly, bank
Tuptcy will be staring many of them in
the face"

Snag in the iron and steel schedule, and

troubles Not one case in a hundred will

and more serious your symptoms the
more dangerous your condition. This class
of diseases is treated very successfully by DR..
Mccoy and his associates at 10 West Third
street, st. Paul, and West hotel, Mnneapo-
lis, Mimi. The many eases reported through
all the daily papers prove this, and each
statement published is substantially the same
as given by the patient cured. DIR. Mccoy
and his associates use no secret nostrums,
but cure diseases by their skillful combina-
ton of the best known remedies, applied in
the most approved manner, ana by using the
latest and most highly recommended appii-
ances known to the profession. They thus
produce results which speak for themselves
in the many patients cured, and have
achieved success in curing diseases which
few or no other doctors can duplicate,
