CAPT. SAM BROWN TALKS,

TICED ON RACE COURSES.

PIrTsBuRo, Pa, Feb. A.-Capt. s. s.
Brown, the Pittsburg turfman, of inter-
national repute, has returned from his
southern trip. lie was met by repre-
sentative of the Poaycstcrday and interro-
gated on matters relating TO tho American
turf.
"Well, you want TO know about the al
legged frauds on the American turf? Now,
| can tell you that there Is vast amount
OF rottenncss on our race courses. ] am Of
the opinion that the bookmnkcrs are cor
rupting our entire system of horse racing.
Two Of tho best informed turf authorities
in the country told me some time ago that

'Of course do. Who OF what are the
bookmakes? With few exceptions, they
are blackguards, thieves and scoundrels.
They, generally speaking. have been ban.
ishcd from gambling-houscs because OF
their questionable characters. They can
carry out their business on n race track in
a way that battles all judges and dircc-
tors"
How would you abolish bookmaking?'

"Why, would confne all speculation

IRVING COLLEGE.
The Mountain Districts in Line for the
Whole Ticket.

Irving College, Tenn, Oct. Both,
lSSS.-The weather has been fine this
week and the farmers are taking adj
vantage of 1t to finish gathering their
corn and SOW wheat. Many of them
are not done sowing yet. If they
would only SOW their wheat three or
four weeks earlier, take more pains
in preparing the ground, and put it
in better. they would find that the
increased yield would richly repay
them.
Farmers who are shipping apples
are expecting good prices for them,
and the fruit on the mountain sides
and on the young trees in the valley
is generally pretty good. Fruit on
the old trees that have not been well
cared for has rotted pretty badly.

community last Wednesday Ell route

Death of Ray Morton.

We clip the following from the
Lake Crystal (Minn). Union of Oct.
10th:
Last Saturday forenoon the
relatives and friends in this place
were startled with the sad news of
the death of Ray Morton, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Morton, formerly
of this place. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Morton and family removed
in the Spring to Tennessee, and are
living at McMinnville. Ray was
driving a delivery wagon for Mr.. T.
Grove, formerly of this county,
having been thus employed but a
short time, and took severe cold,
which settled in his head, causing an
abcess, and in his throat, which with
the tongue became paralized. He
was sick only about two weeks, and
up to that time was in very good
health. Although never very sick
while living here, he was considered
a weakly boy, and it was thought
the change would prove beneficial.
Ray was born in Lake Crystal, Oct.
18th, and would have been IS years
old tomorrow had he lived. He has
lived here his lifetime, with the ex-
ception of a few months spent in Cal
ifornia, and in Tenn. Mr.. Morton
had the body of his beloved son en-
balmed, and placed in magnificent
self.sealing metallic casket, and after
the funeral held at McMinnville last
Saturdaymorning started Immediate
ly for his childhOod's home, to lay
him in his last resting place, in the
beautiful "City of the Dead" by the
clear depths of Crystal lake. Ray
was of a quiet, retired disposition;
having never mingled very much
with boys, and was an ebedient and
j dutiful son. When first taken sick,
he expressed readiness to die. The
funeral held at the M. E. Church, in
lnlS pldCe, IueSudy u!lSlhOoh was az
tended, by a large concourse OF
, syppathizing relatives and friends
Rev. f. a. Arnold officiated, and in
well-chosen remarks administered
comfort to the father and relatives
Six of Rays schoolmates had been
selected to act as pall-bearers, but the
5 casket was so heavy they were oblig
a ed to leave the loving task to largel
and stronger men. Mrs. Morton is
not very well, and it was not though
g advisable for her to make the journ
ey.
f And thus it is in the journey o
life; another vacant chair in tn
e household, another grassy mound il
y the graveyard, another golden chorC
e is severed, another tie to bind to
gether the loving hearts in earth ant
heaven. The heartfelt sympathy c
Il this community is extended to MI
It and Mrs. Morton, in this hour o
y grief.

The Inevitable.

The forty-seven millions Of German peo-
pie at this time are passing through a
period of painful anxiety analogous to that
through which the fifty-four millions of
American people experienced in the excit-
ing months of 1881. while the lamentea
Garfield was struggling with the suffering
and effects of his fatal wounds. Putting
all the accounts and medical reports to-
gether the fair conclusion to draw from
them i that there is little reason to hope
that the disease Of the Crown Prince will
prove otherwise than fatal. Yet at times
the German public is stimulated to hope
for favorable issue by the statements aud
assurances of medical experts. There il
the same conflict and variety of opinions
and kilograms from professors and physi-
clans a. in the case of President Garfield.
tween hope and fear. and this state of
anxiety and uncertainty bids fair to CON
tinue for considerable time. The char
acter and past career of the suffering
Prince have strongly endeared him to his
countryInen, and the pacific and seriously
thoughtful men of Europe have had favor
able expectations of hitn should he be
called to the German imperial throne.
