NELSON 2:IO&.
Iller.

That "never-say-dle" horseman and
unique character, c. II. Nelson, writes
from Cambridge City, Ind, October %,
saying: have had remarkable season
of success, especially for one who has
been forced under cloud. But having
faith in Nelson, started out West. Be-
fore doing so we broke the half mile rec
ord of Jay-Eye-See, bringing it down to
:l54; next, after long ride, Nelson
started to beat the record of the Fort
Wayne, Qnd.) track, 2 :2l4, and lowered
it to 2:l7. Then on to Kankakee, H.,
IL on Wednesday and 2:ll4 on Friday.
But some of the critics argued that it
was kite-shaped track and that enabled
him to trot in 2:l14. However, the next
week, on a new track, and raining at
the time, Nelson trotted in 2:lla. This
was no kite-shaped track but regula-
ton one, with the great artists Doble
and Hickok looking on, and Nelson
finished the last quarter of the mile in
81 seconds, or as Budd Doble puts it,
finishing like a running horse The
next week at Terre Haute, Nelson was
aiing, but felt that not to start him
would be worse than defeat. We started,
and for the first time in his life | found
him unusually hard to control. He was
peeyish and fretful, but his courage and
speed carried him through the mile in
AHA, and he was then appropriately
crowned King of Trotting Stations.
From this point we shipped to Rich
mond, Ind, and it rained every day but
one during the meeting, yet started him
to beat 2:l5, when all good judges
thought it was foolish to make the at
tempt. only drove him the first and
last quarters, the first half being trotted
in :0S and the last half in | :064, the
last quarter in 80 seconds. During the
last quarter umbrellas were turned
wrong side out on the stretch by the
heavy wind. Many think this mile in
2 ia, under such adverse circumstances,
was the greatest effort of Nelson's life.
This was done on Saturday, and on the

Tuesday fol owing at Cambridge City,
Ind, We Clipped one haf-second off his
to 2;l0l, thus equalling Guys best mile.
To-day, Wednesday, | drove him half
in :03, the last quarter in 30i seconds.
Now, believe me, this horse has not, as
yet, arrived at his limit, and time will
surely prove that he is the strongest kind
of a candidate for the trotting record of
stations, mares and geldings. - Horse

automatic delivery box is machine for
taking portraits, which will shortly be
competing in railway stations and other
public places with the sweetmeat and

form of a large square box, mounted on a
hollow pedestal. On the front center is a
small lens, surmounted by mirror, a
slot for pence is in the top left hand cor.

in the opposite corner, is for the supply
of brass folding frames for the mounting
of the photographs. The person to be
photographed takes his stand in front of
the lens, with his back to post or rail
fixed at distance of three feet from the
machine, and adjusts himself so that his
full face shall be reflected in the mirror
With his left hand he then puts a pen

bell announces that the impression is

SuperstitiOus Miners.

A remarkable story is told in connec-
ton with the explosion at the Morfa
oolliery in Wales. 1t is stated that re-
Gently the firemen of the pit-men who
are always selected for gravity and
responsibility-have heard inexplicable
noises, "shoutings" as they are described,
in the workings, and that these have not
been heard by one person alone, but by
several, when in company examining
the pit. Further, miner returning to
the surface felt himself to be accom-.
panied by some invisible presence, which,
although not seen by him, was perceived
by the banksman to land on the bank,
and hastily make its way to the shed
where the injured and dead are now
carried. 1t is alleged that these strange
phenomena were described previously to
the explosion and caused several golfers
to refuse to descend, in spite of their
thus becoming liable to prosecution

Bridgeport,s m rated su,oide Club.

Bridgeport's Ill Fated Suicide Club.
The Suicide club, of Bridgeport, formed
five years ago in fun rather than in earn
est, has been reduced to only one mem.
Der by a remarkable faithfulness in carry
ing ont the condition that one member Of
the club a year should commit suicide.
When the annual meeting was held in
January there were only two members to
attend it, the secretary and the president.
The former, Wendell Baum, committed
suicide few weeks ago in New York,
and now the president alone remains. It
was voted at this meeting by the secre-
tary that the president should make
away with himself during the year, and
by the president that the secretary do so,
and, there being nosbetter way to settle
it, it was mutually decided that the polls
be held open until a new member was
pledged and initiated.
A letter carrier named Mayby talked
seriously of becoming member, and the
president and secretary had great hopes
of him until one morning 1t was learned
that he had committed suicide. He car
ried, however. handsome silk umbrella,
which he bequeathed to the secretary of
the club, Wendell Baum, and it was &C.
copied. But the more Baum carried the
umbrella the more unhappy he became,
and when his friends tried to cheer him
up he said: "a cloud hangs over me; l
am doomed" Finally he sold his prop
erty, turned the money over to his wife,
and, going to New York, gave the UNI
brella into the charge of friend, direct
ing that it be sent to the president of the
club. He then cut his throat. Since
then the umbrella has been uncalled for,
and the president of the Suicide club
will probably disband.-Springfield Re.

The following information may be use
full to some ut this season of the year, if
not new to many: Spinach has direct
effect upon the kidneys. A common
dandelion used as greens is excellent for
the same trouble. Asparagus purges the
blood. Celery acts admirably upon the
nervous system, and is a cure for rheu-
matism and neuralgia. Tomatoes act
upon the liver. Beets and turnips are
excellent appetizers. Lettuce and Gu
cumbers are cooling in their effects upon
the system. Onions, garlic, leeks, olive
and shallots, all of which are similar,
possess medicinal virtue Of a marked

Keely's Discovery.

Keely's methods, and his failures, have
combined to engender distrust and even
arouse ridicule, but in the light of last
Saturdays display before Professor Leidy
and others it will not do to deny that
Keely has discovered that which no other
man has discovered. And if the divine
art is needed to summon this new genii
from the vastly deep of illimitable space
then the power of music has been in
vested with fresh interest, and its ability
to simply soothe the savage breast has
been UNNECESSARILY transcribed. And
if, as was shown on Saturday, single
musical note can, through Keely's dis
covery, cause brass cup full of nails to
float in water, another miracle has been
wrought by the brain of man, and the
close of the Nineteenth century will be
marked by a discovery which will place
the name of the Philadelphia, Keely,
alongside that of his predecessor, Frank.

invitation cards the word ''Enbizukucha-

Some of the old fashioned japanese who
werein the swim long before the customs
of Caucasian society penetrated to the
interior, began short time ago to object
to this sort of thing. The Choya, a
japanese periodical. took up their cause

japanese figure was too dumpy and the
japanese legs too short to look we'll I'M

to have had great weight with the gov
eminent, for it has decided to recall the
order requiring all persons present at the
