THE STALLION BELL BOY.

The sale of Bell Boy for SOL 900
once more brings into prominence the
most advertised horse in this coun-
try Bell Boy was bought of Gov
Stanford by S. A. Brown & Co., of
Kalamazoo, Mich, before he was
two years old for $4,000. In his
two-vear-old form he made Il won
derful campaign. He was CARED
thousands of miles, travelling many
races and never being beaten. Stead
lily reducing his record until at Lex
ingtOn, KY, i'll October, 1897, he
lowered his record to 2:26. At three
wears old he was sold by s. A. Brown
& Co, to Johnson & Seaman for
$4,000. During the summer of
1888 he was extensively advertised
by Johnson & Seaman to be sold at
auction but the public did not have
any confidence in the genuineness of
the sale, and there were no buyers.
He was struck off to one of the OWN
crs for $4,000. a considerable
doubt seems to exist as to whether
the recent sale is genuine.
No stallion, except it is member
of the same family, is so rich in pro-
ducing dams as Bell Boy His first
and second dam and his paternal
grand dam are found among the first
seven great brood mares. His dam,
Beautiful Bell by the Moor, sire of
the great Sultan, is the dam of four
i'll the . 80, and two of which have
records better than 900 at three
wears old. His second dam is Min
nehaha, dam Beautiful Bells, 2:2919
Eva, 9 :2313, Sweetheart, 2 :2212, and
Alcazar, 2:2O12, the last two being
sired by Sultan. Bell Boys paternal
grandam is the queen ofbroOd mares,
Green Mountain Maid, her produce
having sold for more than that of
any other mare, she being the only
mare that is the dam of six with rec
Ords of 2 80 or better, namely, b. m

it is happy it does not bark, but

its mouth, but | can't remember the

stroke this tame quadruped by draw
ing your hand along its back, it cocks
up its tail like a ruler, SO asyou can't
get no further Never stroke the

scratch. like mad. Its tail is about
two feet long, and its legs about one

teese cats, for, firstly, it is wrong so
to do, and, second, cats have clawses
which is longer than people think.
Cats have nine hveses, but which is
seldom required in this country cause

called Tom, and girl cats Puss or
Tiss; but, queer as you may think,
all little cats are called kittens, which
is a wrong name which oughter be
changed. This tame quadruped can

rats, even mice. Last Tewsday |

STUMBLED UPON AN OLD MINE.

The famous Penhachapi mine,
which so many prOspectors have
lost their lives in attempts to redis-
cover, has at last been found by the
Fowler brothers of this city. They
were prospecting near the Harqua
Hala mine recently. Coming to an
old mesquite tree with all the limbs
trimmed off but one and that point
ing uphill. they were by curiosity led
III that direction, when to their as
constituent they found what APP
peared to be an old shaft. Upon fur
Their prospecting pieces of ore were
uncovered that were immensely rich
in gold. They also found the skele-
ton of white man. This leads back
to circumstances of twenty years ago
when two men supposed to be French
men went to Yuma and deposited
gold nuggets to the value of $4,000
with w B. Hooper & Co. which has
never since been called for.
Colonel Woolsey, some years after,
while on an Indian hunt, stumbled
on some rich gold rock that had
been dumped by the side of the trail,
showing that some prospectOr was
making for the settlements, but being
hard pushed by the Indians, unload
ed, Colonel Woolsey afterwards re-
turned with prospecting party.
He and the others for years searched
everywhere, but the mine was never
discovered until now, when it became
thegood fortune of the Fowler broth
ers to find it. The piece of ore on

The Fowlers are positive they have
found the mysterious mine at last.

PENSIONS FOR POSTAL CLERKS.

The last and greatest need of the
postal service is the total and com
pletc elimination of partisan consid-
erations as affecting appointments
and removals in the working force
The spoilS method invariably brings
into the service n lot of do-nOthings
or a race of xperimenters, whose
performances never fail to breed dis
aster and to crush out substantial
progress. 1t Is due to President
Cleveland TO state that towards the
close of his administration he recog-
nized the Importance of permanency
in the Railway Mail Service, and
that he made a long step in advance
by approving a series of rules sub
mitted bv the Civil Service Commits
sion having for its object the remov-
al of the service from the influences
of politicians. 1t needs more than
this. however; ii needs the sanctity
of the statute law, declaring that the
clerks should not only keep their of
fees during good behavior. but that
after twenty years of faithful and
efficient service, or before that time,
if injured in the discharge of their
duty, they should retire on half pay.
In case of death from accident while
on duty, proper provision should be

A TIMELY LETTER.

MIR. FarmtOn" writes Il letter to
the Chicago Advance in which
large class have an interest. Mr.
Pullman should give ear to the sug-
gestions:
Now that Mr.. Pullman has secured
control of ninety-nine one hundredths
of all sleeping cars, | feel at once like
congratula ting myself, and also more
inclined than ever (and | have been
before much inclined), to get into his
private office and tell him a secret
My Self-cOngratulatiOns and the
secret are III the same line of thought.
For the passenger is usually sure of
having fair and courteous treatment
on a Pullman car, with the exception,
land this is the Secret), of the SmOk-
ing And here one is usually sure of
receiving treatment unfair and dis
courteous. | recall the quarters and
half dollars | have showered upon
porters; | recall my interviews with
conductors; | recall my requests
made to those smoking; all for the
simple purpose of keeping the door
of the smoking room shut. But
alasl the endeavOr was like many
other cndeavOrs of this fallen hui
mainly. And why" some one in
quireS, do YOU want that smoking
room door shut ?" why? Because
the smoke makes my wife sick, and
other women sick for whom | have
a diluted good Samaritan feeling
And YOU smokers are so thOughtless,
| will not say ill-bred You go into
= Ot
night and fill the whole car full of
smoke" But | said | wanted Mr.
Pullman $ ear. Il have had many n
good nights sleep in your cars, Mr..
Pullman, and hope to have many
more. But is it quite fair for me,
who hate tobacco, and whose wife
suffers from it as much as from a
trip to Liverpool, when obliged to
be put to these diScOmfOrtS2 Is it
quite fair for one or half dozen men
to be pigs and befoul the cars for us
who are not accustomed to having
smoke pervade their drawing-rOOm
Is it not rs unfair for them TO spoil
nv air, as 1T would be for me to bore
hole through the wall of nv state
room on the Etruria, urging as my
ground that 1T was my StaterOOm
Now. Mr. Pullman, | believe you
want to give the best service to the
greatest number. You know, as YOU
have the right of knowing that such
service inSures the largest dividends.
Will YOU, therefore, let me whisper
to- YOU that YOU cannot have such
service while the smoking room is q
part of the car? Mr.. and Mrs.
FarmtOn, and hosts of their friends,
will dream of YOU at the rate of fifty
miles an hour every night, (and the
nights are many, they spend on one
of your sleepers, if you Will only in
