The true scientific attitude of the day,
rs expressed by the president of the
British association. Professor Fowler, is
a"suspended judgment" Professor Fow-
Ter indorses Sir John Lubbock's idea that
the field OF inquiry is limitless and that
there may be fifty other senses as diff
ferent from ours as sound is from sight,
and even within the boundaries of our
own senses there may be endless sounds
which we cannot hear and colors as diff
ferent as red from green of which we
have no conception. These and a thou
sand other questions remain for solution.
The familiar world which surrounds us
may be a totally different place to other
animals. To them it may be full of mu-
sic which we cannot hear, of color which
we cannot see, of sensation which we
cannot conceive. Science Gossip.

RECORD BREAKERS.
Senator Stanford's Sunol Beats
ALI Previous Records.
Axtell's Lowered One-and-O One.
Half Seconds.
The Great Trot Made at the
Bay District Track.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-Senator
Stanford's filly, Sunol, broke the 8 year
old record at the Bay District track this
afternoon. She trotted a mile in 2:l0t.
This lowers the 3 year old record of
PIP recently made by Axtell. During the
last few weeks horsemen have been great
ly interested in the approaching test of
Sunols capabilities and when the flly was
brought out this afternoon there was a
lair crowd present to witness her pefor-
nance She was accompanied by a run
ner duo z the trial start, which was
made WITH the latter about a furlong be-
hind.
Sunol reached the quarter in 80 seconds;
she went the half in LOS, and it then
seemed certain that barring a break, she
would succeed in lowering the record.
Her time to the third quarter was 1881
Her runner pressed ner closely down the
stretch and Marvin, her driver, applied
the whip. But the colt did not make the
slightest ekip and passed under the wire
in 2:l04.
When the time was announced there
was wild cheering among the spectators,
and the enthusiasm continued several
minutes.
Won Wilks' (yearling stallion) record OF
2:3Si, was also lowered this afternoon by
Count Valeisus Fausting, who trotted a
mile 10 2:35.
The third record lowered at Bay Dis
trict track to day was by Regal Wilkes, who
started to beat Axtell's 2 year old stallion
record of 2:23. Regal Wilkes trocted a
mile without a skip in 2:20i.
Stamboul also trotted to-day to make
PIP on a wager made some time ago that
he would accomplish the feat before the
close of the year. His time to-day was
2:l34, which lowers his own record by
one second.
Palo Alto started to beat the stallion
record OF 2:l2, but lie broke badly on the

A Terrible Experience.

DENVER, Nov. "a Republicans
Trinidad special says: The bodies of
John Martin and Henry Miller, the cow
boys who were frozen to death near the
Rio Grande last week in the terrible biz
yards. were brought to Folsom for burial.
Their two comp %anions, Charlie Wier and
Henry Jolly, were taken 10 Ration for
medical treatment. Jolly will lose all his
fingers, but otherwise will not suffer
greatly. Wier will lose all his fingers and
one foot while both his ears and his
other loot are horribly frozen. Four
other men belonging to the same party
are missing and it is feared they are dead.
Their names are Charlie Rand, a man
named jaeger, Mexican Joe and a Mexi-
eau, name unknown. 1t is reported by
parties who know that at least twenty
men are missing from this range and it
is feared many of them will be found
dead. Jolly and Wier tell heartrending
stories of their suf1erings.
When the blizzard struck them on
Wednesday night last they were holding a
herd of 800 cattle. The wind became a
hurricane before morning, and when Mar
tin and Jolly went on the last guard about
3 a. LII. the storm was binding. They
could not hold the herd, so Jolly went to
the camp for help. In the meantime
Miller and Wier had left camp to assist
in holding the cattle. Jolly could not
find the camp and Miller and W;er could
not find the herd. All three were drawn
together by shouting. and they wandered
around until daylight. When they found
Martin the cold was so bitter that the
men entered an arroyo, and after fasten-
ing the horses took their saddle blankets
aud buried themselves in a snow drift.
This was about three o'clock in the after
noon, and by only the greatest effort
Wler aud Jolly succeeded in keeping
wake.
They were slightly apart from Martin
and Miller and had difficulty in talking to
each other. The snow piled upon them
with such immense weight they were
forced to seek another drift. About 4
o'clock Friday morning Miller called
Jolly and Wier and told them they had
all better go and when they crowded out
they made a search in the drift for Miller
and Martin. The latter only was found
and he was dead. They took their
horses and started leading them a few
rods. when they found Miller on his
knees with his bleeding face against the
blast swaying to aud fro, his horse stand
ing in front of him as though trying to
protect him from the cold. He was asked
to get up and go with them. He was
unable to rise and was assisted to his feet
but could not walk. They started to get
assistance while Wier remained with their
dying companion.
Both of Wier's hands were frozen and
helpless. He was unable to render any
help and was fast becoming insenslble
himself when a Mexican sheep herder
found him and took him to a ranch a few
miles distant The men returned where
Miller had been left and found him ~lifeless.

The vote IN the House yesterday on the bill
term Of the nations disgrace and the capitals
Inconvenience and annoyance in the existing
conditions of the city's postal service. For a
time, the present rented quarters, pronounced
by the health Office unfit from the sanitary
point Of view for occupation, rickety, tumble
down, unsuitable in every respect, must
be endured. For the future tenn
porsry location, in an unsuitable struc-
ture, and in an inconvenient, out-of-the
way place, is promised in the Pension Building
on the north side of Judiciary Square. And
the future presents slight hope of a creditable
post-office building on purchased land at a con-
venient point near the business center Of the
city until a radical change Of heart has been
experienced by the politicians who think that
Washington, having no votes, presents promis-
ing field in which to win a reputation for
economy, and by the contending owners Of
eligible post-office sites. The latter might be
expected gradually to fall into line in the effort
to get the measure into conference, and to
make there final effort to secure the
selection Of their property, giving to
the District a post-ofice whichever of
them was successful All would have
had a chance, and the District would win
q needed public building no matter how the
conference lottery went. But the opposition
Of the penny-squeezing legislator for Wash
ington is harder to meet. To save the money
for a site he would place the building upon a
reservation, choking with bricks and mortar,
land donated for park purposes to the govern
ment, and violate a public trust in SO doing.
Considerations of honor no less than regard
for the beauty and health of the capital should
restrain the nation from diverting the parks
from use in the manner intended. location
upon Judiciary Square is not only objection
able in the respects already suggested,
but 1t Is not centrally and convent
emily located It was claimed in the
House debate that with the carrier system con-
venience of location is of small account. but
that reasoning is not applied elsewhere than in
Washington, and is Of no force anywhere. An
immense amount of business is done by citizens,
and especially business men, at the post-ofice
building outside of the carrier service. In an
other city of the size CT Washington the gov
eminent would buy site at a central point
and erect creditable building and the sug-
gestion that the existence of the carrier system
made the location of the post-office matter of
no concern would be treated as absurd The
government is only asked to do at the capital
what it does in other cities of the same size in
the United States. Next to New York the
Washington post-ofice handles larger mail
than any other in the republic. 1t serves a
large city, and it serves the government. 1t is
treated worse thanthe Office in any town of ten
thousand inhabitants in the land which con-
tains voters in congressional elections. The
situation is disgraceful to Congress and to the
nation

The desultory character of the debate in the

The people of Washington have come to
mark the fight of the year by Miss Anthony's
red shawl. New Years and the Fourth of July
no longer divide the calendar. but the citizen

lowers. As the householder unfolds his paper
at O'Clock dinner he exclaims. .Herlol Miss

The meeting this year is, as all others have

ignominiously into the front pew to be dis

replaced and the handshakings completed. Wit

sarcasm and honeying supplication fill each
session to overhowing. The intellectuals of the
