Hiram Woodruff Howe, an adopted
son of the great driver of trotters, died
at his home in Brooklyn last week. In
his day he drove such horses as George

one of the choicest in Orange county,
N. Y, at Stony Ford, the breeding
farm of Charles Backman. The shaft
was made from a block of Missouri
granite furnished by the well-known
w. II. Allen, the owner OF $3OO,OO
worth of trotting stock.
The season of 1889 lifted the trotting
turf on to higher ground than 1t has
occupied for many years. The t1elds
on the big circuit tracks were large
and the struggles sharp and exciting.
In the majority of cases the best horse
won. The little band Of manipulators
was completely showed under. They
found it impossible to make, with few
exceptions, winning combinations;
New and strong men have formed
stables, and the big prices paid for

anything else the healthy condition OF

might have been the head of the

which connected with hole through
the bishop" The bottom of the
bishop" standard was conveXed.

bet on another mans scheme"
"Well, blow on it anyway"
The Man" blew, and the only re-
suit was that the ball twirled rapidly
around and chung tenaciously to the
convexed surface Of the bishop"
When the Man" ceased blowing the
ball dropped.

We did, but mitch" refused TO bite.

A special from Martins Ferry, Ohio,
says; Mrs. Jane Evans, known among her
neIghbors rs Crazy 5ennie,D became
weak-minded after the birth Of her only
child, daughter. Being rent to the Id
sane asylum, her grief became 90 intense
that, TO save her life, she was restored to
her home and child, When the girl was
8 years old Mrs. Evans took the notion
that somebody would steal her, aud since
that time has never let her daughter from
her side. For I've years Mrs. Evans has
never for an instant relaxed her hold on
Nannic's wrist Sleeping or waking,
about her household duties, on the street
or 10 the house, the grasp Is never loos-
ened, tho wrist Of the child being dwsrfcd
and worn 10 the size OF a mans thumb.
Mamie is blonde, good-ioolting, with
golden, light hair and bright blus eyes,
and weighs about so pounds. She talks
iptelligently, but does not know the al.
phabet, the mother resisting all her en-.
treaties to be allowed to attend school.
