1865, and is consequently not quite g years
Of age. He lacks one inch of being 8 feet

powerful chest, and in racing trim weighs
40 pounds. He took to the water at an

he was IL years old.
St%ansbury's initial victory Of note was
the Lake Bathurst handicap outrigger
race in January, 1881, when with a forty
second start he defeated such old oarsmen
as Peter Kemp, Neil Matterson and Chris
TOPPER Nielsen. During 1857 and ISIS he
defeated Robert Campbell and Julius Wulf
and several other good men, and was
worsted by Nielsen in n match for $500 a

Adolph Busch, the st, Louis beer king,
is at the head of an establishment which
employs 1900 men, and he receives a
salary of $50, 900 year.
Bessie Douglass, of Chicago, leader of

he hastily assisted him through the front

Whitelaw Reid, who not so many years
ago was newspaper hack at So week,
the foreign specials report is now the
most gay and festive and extravagant of
the diplomatic corps in Paris. He pays
$27 900 year tor his Paris house and his
expenses will probably run close to $780,
900. His salary is SIT 800, and it thus
takes $4,000 more than this to pay his
house rent. The bad example of this is
that no poor man can hereafter take the
place. Yet we never sent to Paris or
anywhere else greater diplomat than
our first Minister, Benjamin Franklin,
who lived in modest cottage in the sub
urbs of Paris, and received as salary less
than half what Mr.. Reid pays for his
house rent. But his unpretending rooms
we're the resort of the great men and
women of the era preceding the French
revolution. Mr.. Reid made the bulk of
his money by his marriage with the rich
daughter of the millionaire d. o. Mills,
of California, who gave his daughter

Horse thieves have begun operations in

two big horses were 81 olen from the stable

it is thought that the thieves have secreted

opportunity is presented to hurry them
across the Maryland border, with the
horse marts of Virginia as the objective
point. A few years ago this business was
extensively and successfully prosecuted
in Perry county.

THE FENCE LAW.
An Imposition Upon Poor PeOple-A Cow

Detained for Trespass.

An Imposition Upon Poor PeopIe-A Cow
Belonging to Widow in MOrrellville
Detained for Trespass.
The last Legislature framed law
abolishing the use of fences, which is
about as good an illustration of the absurd
ideas of the average legislator as can be
given. While there may be points in the
law that are meritorious, as whole it is
a very injurious piece of legislation.
A case has recently occurred in Nor
rellville which gives practical illustra-
ton of the evil effects of this law A
man residing near Sheridan Station had
vacant lot adjoining his house, and as the
cattle belonging to the neighbors fire.
quentlY wandered that way, he concluded
to raise little revenue by applying this
law. Accordingly, about two weeks ago
on his lot penned them up, and adver-
tised them as estrays. This, notwith-
standing the fact that he acknowledged
to the Justice of the Peace who wrote out
the notices for him that he knew whose
COWS they were. This shows clearly that
the man was not interested in seeking the
owners, but simply in trying to take
advantage of this law to make money for
himself. This is not said particularly as
reflection upon this gentleman, but to
show the absurdity of the law.
One of these cows belongs to a widow
with large family of children, and as
she has been unable to get the money to
pay the costs and damages demanded
under this law she is deprived of the use
of her cow.
Much might be said of the ahsurdity of
laws of this kind which would compel
people 20 keep their cattle enclosed or
pay heavy damage, which any scheming
person might>see fit to collect, simply be-
cause the cattle might stray upon an un-
enclosed portion of ground. Evidently 1t
would be better to send a few more farm
ers and men of practical ideas to the Leg
islature, who would have more Judgment
than to make such egTegious blunders.

TO FIGHT SENATOR QUAY.
Unexpected Temperance OF Magee in PeaH=
sYIyania Politics.

Unexpected Keappearace OF Magee In PENN
sylvania Politics.
PITrsBUReH, Pa, June 15.-Chris
Magee, after retirement of year and
a-half, has reentered politics. At the
meeting of the County Republican Exec
utive Committee Saturday afternoon Mr.
Magee unexpectedly appeared, and even
his friends were surprised by the influence
he showed himself to have over the Or.
ganizatlon. His slightest word sufficed to
defeat two or three measures which were
apparently slated for adoption. He made
eight or ten motions and all were adopted
unanimously. The meeting was the chief
topic of interest in political circles.
1t has been generally believed, during
MIR. Magee's retirement, that his old lieu
tenant, Billy" Finn, who now aspires
to political dictatorship, has been train
ing with the Quay faction, which has
been gaining strength from liberal Fed
eral patronage. 1t is manifest from the
County Committee proceedings, however,
that the moment the old leader asserts
himself he will rally around him all his
former supporters, who include nearly
every effective trking politician in the
city.
There is hardly any doubt that his re-
appearance among politicians is the first
step of determined fight against Senator
Quay. A contest has all along been inev-
table, and the opportunity is presentedin
the Gubernatorial canvass. The Magee
faction is backing Major Montooth, the
Pittsburgh candidate, and if Senator Quay
attempts to force Delamater upon the coz
vention it is not at all unlikely that Magce
will prevent the election. He has been
in Lancaster and Philadelphia during the
past week, and determined combination
under his leadership for the overthrow of
Senator Quay, whose dictatorial policy
has caused great unrest in the party,
is one of the probabilities OF the coming
week.

The Children Lived LONGEST.

BALTIMORE, June 1S.-In the matter Of
the Order of the Golden Chain VS. Bertha
Cowman, a case growing out of the Johns
town flood, In which whole family was
wiped out, Judge Dennis decided yester-
day that the mortuary fund of the Order
of Golden Chain must be paid to the Ad-
ministrator of Ernest 3. and Allen G.
Hopes, the infant children of Walter Z.
Hopes, all drowned in the Johnstown
flood of the 31st of May, 1889. There
was evidence that the children were seen
alive in the upper part of the house some
short time after their parents disappeared,
and this, so held the Judge, established
the survlvorship of the children.

The Oldest Bank Note.

Ine spectator.
The Trustees OF the British Museum
have got hold of great curiosity in the
shape of Chinese bank-note printed in
the middle of the fourteenth century,
several years before the establishment of
the first European bank (said to be the
bank established at Barcelona in
140t, and three centuries before the
establishment of the Bank of
Stockholm in 1868. The Chinese had
bank notes at a much earlier date, for
Marco Polo saw some of them, printed on
the inner bark of trees, before the end of
the thirteenth century. 1t is remarkable
that the Chinese had invented all the four
principal modern instruments-the COM
pass, printing, gunpowder and pa
per currency "a long time before
Europe had any of them, and
yet that they remained almost useless tools
in the hands of that acute but barren
minded people, Even their artillery, which
they used centuries before Europe knew
anything of artillery, appears to have
been of hardly an real value to then.
