George Middleton, the wealthy museum
man, is the fortunate owner of the now eele-
brated trotting horse Jack, who recently won
the.$5, 900 stake and the big free-for-all race
In Lexington. Middleton had great faith in
Jacks ability to win the stake race, and so
had Jim Murphy the lucky bucket shop oper-
ator. Both are willing to back their judg-
ment to any amount, and ON this occasion
they Joined issues and purchased nearly ev-
cry pool sold On Jack. In all they invested
five to one, and stood to win SIG. 900 or so be-
sides the $4,000 stake which Middleton
would pull in. 1t was great chance for
what is known on the race track as 'fkil-
ling"
Well, Jack won the FIRST two heats easily,
and it looked very much like his race. But,
while Middleton had every confidence in his
animal he knew that three heats constituted
the regulation trotting race. and he was ner-
veus over the third heat. While the daring
Murphy cody stood at the wire and watched
the horses score up for the third heat, Mid
dleton nervously strolled out into the field
among the carriages and uneasily paced up
and down. He heard the starting Judge give
the word, and saw the horses fly by the quar-
ter pole, 60 along the backstretch, around the
last turn, and lash into the homestretch. At
the stand they passed out of his sight, and he
walked toward the judges box to hear the re-
suit at the wire. Johnny Diokerson and sew
eral other drivers were standing on top Of a
hack in the field watching the race. They
had seen Middleton out in the field and knew
how nervous he was. AS he started toward
him, Diokerson, looking at the horses, yelled:
"Jack's up! It's all over! Jacks up!" Mid
dleton heard it and his heart failed him. In
track parlanee the phrase "Jsok's up" meant
that Jack had broke, and he thought his
horse was gone. He quiekened his pace to
learn the werst. and as he passed Dickerson
the latter cried: 'Jack's up, Middleton, bat
he's up In front. He's won the race" And
this took load equal to four tons of coal
from the museum mans shoulders. 1t was
mean to deceive him, though, even for a mo-
ment under the circumstances

MORE LIFE.


DR.. J. E. Pollock IAN English physician has
made striking statement Of benefits which
he thinks have been brought about by im-
proved methods of living and by hygienio
and sanitary reforms. Taking the tables of
mortality in England, he finds that there
have been of late an average increase Of life
Of about two years. He divides the life Of
mankind into three periods; that from birth
to 20 being the period Of childish incapacity,
that from 20 to go the period of human
activity and achievement, and from go to
death the period of dependency, in conse-
quence of failing strength and weakening
faculties. Upon this division it is found that
70 per cent. of the gain in life has come to
these between the ages of 20 and go, and that
80 per cent. of the gain has come to those
either under 20 or over go years of age. It
will thus be seen that the advantages which
improved methods Of living have secured to
mankind have, in the main, accrued to men
and women al the best period of their lives.
This is cheering. So many dangers to life
have lately been discovered that 1t seems
wonderful that anybody can livs at all.

Rose Thorpe,s One Poem.
From the Ruffalo C0urfer

Rose Hartwick Thorpe, the author of
"Ourfew Must Not Ring Tonight" is now
living in the South for the benefit of her
husbands health, but as her own health
suffers there, they think of making southern
California their future home. She is now a
woman of thirty-nine, and she wrete the
well know verses when she was under seven
teen. All she got for them was letter of
thanks from tho editor of a Dstroit newspa-
per to whom she sent the lines. She is a
native of Indiana and passed her childhood
in great poverty. She Gays: sOf all dull,
prosaic lives, mine was the dullest and most
prosaio." When she wrote "Curfsw" she
had no education and no knowedge of books,
though she afterwards applied herself to
them and became e school teacher. But
even during her early married life 1t was
more important to her reputation among her
neighbors that she should "keep house" In
approved fashion than that she should write
we'll, and she remarks: 'Until the year
1880 was laundrymaid, cook, seaEastresa
and nurse for my children" This expert
enoe recalls the story of Mrs. George Ripley
to whom suspended Harvard students used
to 60 to be coached. Some one is said tc
have once found her listening at tho same
time to one boy who was reciting Greek and
another who was demonstrating a proposi
ton in analytics. while she shelled peas and
rocked the baby's cradle with her foot.

Shall the Fence Come Downq

Shall the Fence Como Downa
To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Let US try in this matter to distinguish
between sound conservatism and hasty
spirit of progress. We do not see the pro-
priety of dragging Yale college into the dis
cussion. What especial advantage would it
be to the college to pail down the fence
around the public Green, and If the faculty
really favored it they probably know that to
make such an avowal would be the surest
way to defeat their object. We think it will
be admitted that the tendency of the age is
to remove fences. break down all useless
barriers and to depend on each others sense
Of justice and right enforced by due ad-
ministration of the law. Admitting all this
we nevertheless hold that the fence ought to
remain for tho present, because of the seour-
ity 1t gives the children, and
useless expenditure Of meney. Troops of
children in the summer time use the public
Green as playground. The fence is Gers
tainly some protection to them from runaway
horses. It is not fair answer te this argu-
ment to say that Temple street runs through
the Green and In this way exposes the ohil-
dren to such danger, for by removing the
fence they are exposed on four sides in addi-
ton, namely, Chapel, Church, College and
Elm streets. The fence symbolizes what we
all should be. If it is neither elegant nor Or
namentsl it is at least good and useful.

Philip MaretGs Bequest to the Poor.
Tothe Editor ofthe JouRNALAND COURIER:
The late Philip Marstt, whose name should
be forever honored by the people of New
Haven, has left in his will a bequest of over
thirty thousand dollars to the city for the
benefit of the poor. am surprised, and
suppose the whole public is, to soc that our
Court of Commen Council is seriously de-
batting the question as to whether this be-
quest should be accepted. 1t is certainly a
noble and generous bsqusst, and I should
gratitude that 1t deserves by every citizen
whose heart is in tho right place. 1t
is not gift to found an insti-
is to perpetuate the donors name
or to make a corporation richer which is al.
ready rich, bat gift which is genuine
charity and which shows that the givsr in the
midst of his wealth had net forgotten the
poor and the unfortunate. Mr.. Aarett made
many other generous bequests, but none that
ought to 80 endear his memory to the people
as this one. The gift to the library is a mu-
nificsnt one and one of great usefulness, but
it Ia one in the nobleness and disinterested-
ness of its character, in no way to be COM
pared to this gift to the namsless
peor. I am at loss to understand
what reason there possibly can be
Wuy bAV ChJ uAOuAW AVS aVSoPs Aes Lo Al 0AA-
fsult to conceive Of any possible reason.
Even IL the common council thinks that 1t
owes NO consideration to the poor, and that
benevslsnee and charity have NO place in its
deliberations, the paltry selfish reason that
the burden of taxation eeoasioned by the
care Of the poor will be decreased by aoospt-
ing the legacy is a business confederation
which, should suppose, it would feel obliged
to consider. The only objection I have heard
of, is that the bsquest is said to be invalid.
But Professor Baldwin has given tho COM
mittee of the council, which has the matter
in charge, his opinion that II is valid. If
there is any question about it the
common council ought not to decide 1t In
advance Such bsqusst, If lawyers
Of reputs say that it is valid, is surely
worth testing in the courts, and as the Cor
poration counsel receives salary and NO
fees, the expense of testing it will be very
slight. If the common council refuses to
accept it, the question cannot be tested, and
the poor of the city will lose the benefit of
the bequest and the generous purpose of
Mr. Marett will be defeated by what will
seem to the public the most ungracious ac-
tion of the Council. That body had better
consult the wishes Of the people before it
decides against the interest Of the poor.

To the Editor of the ouRNAL AND COURIER:
The newspapers report that the board of

Instead of complying with this request it
seems to me better to abolish the board Of
health. Whatever police duties 1t has psr-
formed can be as we'll done by the police
department. All that the board Of health
can do in giving advice relative to the pre-
vention and treatment Of disease can be as
well done by the architects and physicians
without making a levy upon the public
treasury. Tt is mistake to suppose that
the superior sanitary knowledge of that
board is everything but an impudent and
shallow pretsnse. The few true statements
it has published have all been copied; while
everything 1t has printed, with tho faintsst
favor Of originality, has bsea either foolish
or false. ]. P. P.

FARGO, n. D., April 5.-The evening
paper, about a week before election,
came out with what was considered a
libelous article attacking two of the
old residents of the city, William O'Neil
and James Kennedy. The friends of
these gentlemen, feeling aggrieved at
this uncalled-for attack, asked and in
sisted that they should each run for
alderman. Mr.. O'Neil consented, and
was elected by three to one against his
opponent. Mr.. Kennedy's business
was such as to pre- clude the possibility
of attending to the duties of the . fiji ce,
and was therefore obliged to decline.
Had he consented he would have been
elected by an equally large majority.
This shows the influence of the great
reform organ of Fargo, which is run by
as fine a lot of men as ever inhabited
this region, and who have now learned
that personal attacks upon the charac-
ter and financial standing of our citi-
Zens will never pay the printer nor Sc
cure the city printing and advertising.
The bread is buttered on the other side.
