CHICAGO, November 14th-At the session
to-day of the American Turf Congress they
took up the matter of amending the rules
in regard to the licensing and fning of
Jockeys, and the disposal of these fines and
funds for trainers and jockeys. They fin
ally concluded that the rules are good
enough if strictly enforced. So it was de-.
cided to make no change in them.
The following jockey clubs were repre-
sented: Washington Park, by President
Brewster; Kentucky Association of Lex
ington, KY, by General ]. F. Robinson;
Louisville, by Colonel Lewis NJ. Clark; ST.
Louis, Colonel Charles S. Green; Twin City

Shaw Birmingham, Ala, L. Ezekiel Kan

Perkins and E. G. Hopper; Overland Club,
of Denver, Col, ]. II. Brewster, proxy
Several amendments to the rules were
adopted, and the Congress adjourned at
noon to visit Washington Park.
a number of changes were made in rules
among which were the following:
Rule four was changed so that the condi-
ton referring to maidens shall mean maid
ems at the time of the entry unless other
wise specified.
Rule ten was changed to read where no
entrance fee is required the declaration
must be accompanied by per cent. of the
first money.
Rule twenty-one, relating to change of
name, is changed so no association shall
receive an entry of or allow horse whose
name has been changed anywhere, to run
on its course.
Rule forty-eight was changed so the
owner or trainer must consent to the dec
laration Of the jockey to carry legal over
weight.
Rule now reads: Every horse whose
jockey has weighed out and whose number
has been put up is starter, and liable for
the whole stake. If the horse is excused
after having weighed out, all the book bets
on the race are void, and additional time
before the race shall be granted by the
Judges. In auction OF Paris mutuals the
bets stand, but the money bet On the ex-
cused horse shall be refunded.
Rule 80, Section A, relating to State PEN
alties, and Section c. for beaten horses and
maiden allowance, is stricken ont.
Rule 129 is amended so that the jockeys,
grooms and stable boys found on the
betting grounds may be fined as well as
suspended or ruled off.
Rule 100 was stricken out and new
rule adopted in its place. reading: If an
ineligible horse be entered for the purpose
OF betting against him and he finishes first,
or if he be entered for the purpose of hav-
ing him disqualified by objections made
after the race all the bets shall be declared
off,"

PHoNoGRApH REPORTING.
One Experiment was Enough to Satisfy
the Attorney.
I'M. H. L. in Puck. ]

NJ. H. L. in Puck.l
Some poor law reporter anxiously in
quires whether the photograph is not
likely soon to supersede the stenographer.
1t might strike one that the monograph
would make the best of reporters but the
stenographers need not consult their fears
until some of its bad habits have been
overcome.
The experiment was tried at the Office
of the Hon. Gordon Blakely, in hearing,
on the third of August last, in Butler VS..
Jones.
This is the way page 237 of the testi-
mony would have read if his stenographer
could have had the handling of it;
Cross-examination by Mr.. Smith;
@. What is your business
A. Lumber commission. solicit orders
for oor-casings, etc.
Q. Do you know the defendant, Mr..
Jones?
A. Yes, SIR
Q. And Mr.. Kavanagh? Answer "yes"
or mo"
A. Yes.
Q. You heard his testimony given yes
terday?
A. Yes; most of it.
@. He was asked how many castings had
this turned molding on them. and he said
he could not tell Do you know?
A. couldn't tell great many.
| Q. Did you furnish the material to
make that molding?
A. 1t was of ash.
Q. | say, did you furnish it?
A. Yes sir; some of it.
But the stenographer had been given a
vacation, in the expectation that the
monograph would more than fill his place,
and the instrument covered itself with
glory, thus;
";Mr. Peck, what is your business
Eli? What is your business? l SAY,
1 WHAT Is YOUR BUSINESS?
GThe photograph gave this very loud.
The witness had been deaf.
"Oh, my business? Lumber commits
sion; | answered that before; solicit
door-casings, ETC..
Here the photograph gave distinct
/ laugh and one politely suppressed.
| "What do you do--do you get them p
! q mean | solicit orders for door-casings,
etc DO you know the defendant, Mr..
Jones? yes, SIR And Mr.. Kavanagh? ?,
Well, I dunno; pretty well. am ac-
ouainted with him. You can't always
say you know person Never mind
moralizing; answer yes or no. Are you

given Yesterday? yes, most of it all l
was listening to. I am little hard of
hearing-been so sinee-let me SEE
! Never mind. He was asked Where is
itg.
Here the phone broke off suddenly and
began to relate an anecdote of General
Sheridan during the late war. Mr..
Blakely ransacked his memory as to what
that had to do with Butler vs.. Jones, till
he remembered that the anecdote had
been related by Mr.. Whitney, on Mr.. Dill
remarking that it was very warm, while
Mr.. Smith was hunting for passage in
the stenographers minutes. But it was no
use to remind the photograph that it was
! irrelevant, incompetent and immaterial ;

for it would go on, and even related Mr..
Blakely's own laugh at the end, although
Mr.. Blakely made point of never laugh
ing at the same anecdote twice. Then it
resumed the examination.
oh, here it is. He was asked how
many castings had this turned moldine ON
them, and he said he could not tell do
you know?' 'Eh?' He was asked how
many castings had this turned molding
on them, and he said he could not tell
do you know?' I couldn't tell great
many Did you Here's a gentle
man to see you, Mr.. Blakely.' Il can't see
him now, | am engaged; tell him to call
again. Toni Come back and shut the

The photograph now initiated the
shutting of door.
CHOW, Mr. Smith
For eighteen seconds the photograph
seemed divided between desire TO report
the question and to initiate the rumbling
Of a cart which went through the street,
with few notes of what sounded like
"Lanagan's Balp on a hand-organ.

"Tom," SAID Mr.. Blakeley, half an hour
later, ego out and post this letter to the
stenographer, to tell him he must be back
before the next hearing. If civilization
had stopped short the other side of the
phonograph, it would have been advanced
enough for me.

robbery of Grey Towers in '69?'
"He was" replied Shaw, "but he's on the
loose again now, and the police have been

SCIENTIFIC HINTS.

Dr. Saymonne claims to have discovered
bacillus which causes baldheadedness in
the human being. He calls it bacillus
erinivorax" That name will do as we'll
as any. The doctor says: Ten parts of
crude cod liver oil, ten parts of expressed
juice of onions and FIVE parts of mucilage
or the yolk of an egg, thoroughly mixed,
and applied to the scalp once week, will
destroy the bacilli and prevent badness.
1t is said the "nickel-and-slot" arrange
ment was current among the ancient
Egyptians. Their "holy water" was kept
in closed vessel in temple. When FIVE
drachme were dropped inro the top ayalye
opened and small quantity of the sacred
liquid flowed out for use. Then the valve
closed, awaiting the next devotee.
To their credit, be it said, the Russians
have placed perambulating school house
on their principal railway, which tarries in
neighborhoods along the line, visiting dis

teachers quarters, classroom, library, and
all necessary material, and the outfit goes
wherever its seems most needed.

Carl Myers, aeronaut, described three
ascents made by balloons filed with nat

successful. No other ascents, he says, with
natural gas, have ever been made.
The Washington monument is $50 feet

The Next Mans Turn.

Sergeant Robinson, in Bench and Bar,
writing on the subject of French trials,
tells an amusing story of one he read
where the plaintiff brought an action
against some one to recover an estate
which had been in the family of the latter
for a great number of years. The plain
tiff gave some shadowy evidence that the
property had once belonged to his rela-
tives, and he was their next of kin. The
Judge asked the defendant how long he
had been the recognized proprietor. He
replied, "Twenty years"
"How long had your father held it,"
"Thirty years, at least"
"And your grandfather ~
"Nearly all his life; for it came to him
while an infant"

ment, sit seems to me that your family

principle" The exchange was made some
time later and Major Golf went to Wash
ington and urged President Lincoln to
adopt more liberal exchange policy so that
Union soldiers would suffer less in South
ern prisons. 1t was not long before his adj
vice was followed. Some time afterwards
Major Armsey was captured by the Union
troops, and was put in jail at Clarksburg,
COTS native town.
When COTS friends learned of the fact
mob gathered to hang Armsey, and it was
only upon the intercesslon of Major Golf
that his life was spared. While he was in
Libby prison Golf somehow got hold of law
books and began to read. After the war
he went to the New York University and in
time returned to West Virginia to practice
law. Andrew Jackson appointed him dis
trlct attorney in 1853 and he was reappointed
four times by Grant. Hayes and Garfield.
In 1870 he ran for Congress but was beaten.
In 1876 he ran for Governor, and was again
beaten. In 1881 President Hayes called him
into his Cabinet as Secretary of the Navy
In 1882 he was elected to Congress, and in
1884 was reelected General Golf is
