General Master Workman Powderly, of

Endorsement. he could scarcely have
gone away disappointed, for the gather

greeted with such a tempest of applause
as seldom is given to any man. He began

Constipation,

IF not remedied in season, is liable to
become habitual and chronic. DraS-
tic purgatives, by weakening the bowels,
confirm, rather than cure, the evil.
Ayers Pills, being mild, effective, and
Strengthening in their action, are gener-
ally recommended by the faculty as the
best of aperients.
"Having been subject, for years, to
constipation, without being able to find
much relief, at last tried Ayers Pills.
I deem it both a duty and a pleasure
to testify that have derived great ben
eft from their use. For over two years
past [ have taken one of these pills

HAMLIN AND HARRY WILKES.
The Return Match Between These
Flyers Fixed for Next Friday.


The return match between these two
most worthy representatives of the
Wilkes and AlmOnt families. Belle
Hamin, by Hamlin's Almont Jr., and
Harry Wilkes, by George Wilkes,
should attract multitude of people to
Fleetwood park, Oct. IL. Twenty-Five
thousand people witnessed the first
meeting of these horses at Buffalo,
Aug. S last. That race was intended to
settle the long-disputed question of su-
periority between the AlmOnts and
Wilkes. In measure it did
settle 1t, as Belle Hamlin won
i'm straight heats. 1t was known
however, that the speedy son of George
Wilkes was not at his best, and an
abundance of faith in him remained in
his many admirers. That these two
trotters are to meet on neutral track for
another test of their powers on Friday
of next week is a matter for mutual
congratulatiOn among all lovers of trOt-
ting stock, and the interest in the meet
ing is greatly increased through the
fact that since their first race both
horses have made some remarkable per-
formances. Belle Hamlin has lowered
her record to 2:12ss4, and Harry Wilkes
has vanquished Gene Smith. The race
will be a great one.

How William K. Vanderbilt Was

Caught by a Southern Beauty.
An older romance that has the charm
of fiction about it is told of Mrs. Willie
X. Vanderbilt. says a Saratoga cor
respondent OF the Philadelphia Times.
She was here. after her father had lost
his money. with some friends. when the
announcement that the rich son of
William Vanderbilt would arrive that
evening was made. OF gowns she had
but few-mOst of them had been worn
and she did think that she could make
an impression on any man if only she
hid a frock TO wear. One of her friends
volunteered to lend her a yellow
silk. With great delight it was
accepted, but the Deauty'S eyes
filled with tears and her lips
uuiYered with disappointment when
She discovered that on one side of the
bodice and far down on the skirt ex-
tended wine stain. But was this to
daunt a Southern girl? Certainly not.
When the time came and the gown was
nut Oh. she took a black lace shawl. that
by some mistake had been put among
her things, draped it about her in Span
ish fashion, fastening il on the head
and on one shoulder with amber pins.
An admirer had sent her bunch of yell
low roses. and with these and her
black fan her costume was completed.
Sheeam she saw. and she conquered.
The wicked friend never forgaYe her
her success in hiding the defect of the
GOWN or the lovely picture she pre-
scented when she stuod before Mr.. Van
derbiit, and the lookers-on could read
the admiration in his eyes. | don't

like to think that, Ciderella like. the
maid of the nineteenth century can, if
she will, find her prince.

Gossip About Horsemen, Horses
and Their DoingS.

and Their DOinGS.
Henry Chambers, who is handling
Prince Wilkes, 2:14$91, in Beunos Ayres,
South America, writes that the Prince
is winning all the races in which he
starts. having at that time captured two
$500 purses by beating Governor Hill,
2:1S15; SpoffOrd. 2:1S4. and others.
Prince Wilkes won one two-mile race
and another of three miles. J Q. 2:174,
had not yet started in race, but was
entered with twelve others, including
trince Wilkes, for handicap race of
1.750 metres. Horses are handicapped
by yards i'll South America just as root
racers ale in the United States, and
/ Prince Wilkes was put back 100 yards
behind the scratch horse. Racing ends
IN South America in December, and
does not commence until May. Horses
are taken up for spring training in
March, just as they are in this country.
Chambers says that he will start for
home in December.
Barnum, the old racing hero, together
with FL. j. Woodford. his owner, was
two years ago ruled off by the Brooklyn
Jockey club for cause, and they have
since been Skirmishiug about the half
mile tracks. but last week they were
both reinstated by the Brooklyn author
tiles. The announcement will be read
with pleasure by the thousands who
witnessed his famous dead heat with
the great Miss Woodford for the Coney
Island cup, and who have admired the
staying powers of the grand old son of
Bonnie Scotland, as he is now the oldest
racer on the running turf, save Hickory
Jim, which is doing the country fairs in
New York state. 1t wasn't Barnum'S

in more races than any thoroughbred

The Dwyer brothers did very we'll at
their own meeting, winning nearly ST..
600, which is somewhat more than
quarter of the money which was added
by the club. OF this amount Kingston
contributed nearly Zoo in four wins.
Aurania $3.50 in three wins out of four
starts, and Taviston $2,400, with one
win out of three starts. OF the other
horses, Oregon, Longstreet, Meriden,
Kenwood, Cortland and Bella B each
won one race, and Fordham two races.
During the twelve days of the meeting
the stable started in forty three races,
Of which it won sixteen. was second in
six, third in nine and unplaced in
twelve.
John L. Stewart, the well-known turf
man of Council Bluffs, To-, proposes to

1t wasn't exactly an ideal day yes
terday for base ball, but the Picketts

ager Egan had picked up some pretty
good timber for his team, and they put
together fine game. out the Picketts
PLAYED little better and secured the
stake and the gate receipts. The Picketts
secured a good lead in the first and third
innings. but the Dispatch men scored in
tine fifth and came pretty close to en-
gineering a tie in the ninth. Prescott
and HattOn scored. and O'Donnell was
left on first. The PickettS have proved
themselves deserving of the title of
amateur champions of the Northwest
by their steady work throughout the
season. Individually. and collectively
they are promising ball players, and the

will all some day become as great men

they are named. The score follows:

Baby Postage STAMPS.

Letters which have recently arrived
from Spain have borne a new postage
stamp, marked with the effigy of the
King of Spain, Don Alfonso XIII.
The fact in itself is nothing remark
able, since the postage stamps in every
monarchical country bear the portrait
of its monarch. But the fact that the
King is less than four years old, having
been born May II, 1886, and the fur
Their fact that the stamps of the king
dom have been marked with his effigy
but short time, makes the circum=
stance an interesting one, says the
Youths Companion. Never before,
we believe, has postage stamp borne
the portrait of baby monarch. There
have been many child potentates, but
Don Alfonso XIII. is the first baby
who has reigned over a European
country since the introduction of
the Nse of postage stamps.
To this generation, which considers
the postage stamp almost as much a
necessity of life as food or raiment, it
seems hard to believe that 40 years
have not yet gone by since postage
stamps came into general use in Europe
and the United States.
No doubt this new baby stamp of
Spain will be sought for, at least
for time, by thousands of stamp
collectors for its novelty. 1t is quite
sure, however, to become COM
mon. But within few years
Don Alfonso, growing so old that he
may fairly claim to be ''quite a big
boy" will need new postage stamp;
and then, perhaps, another and still
another before he has become man.
So that people who preserve these
stamps will possess record in postage
stamps of young kings growth from
babyhood to manhood.
The present stamp is quite a pretty
one. 1t is printed in several oolors,
according to the denomination,
