 The United States senate is a very temper- ate body. The annual report of the secreta- ry of the senate, just published, is a highly virtuous document.

The decision of the general term of the New York supreme court that 6 pool ticket on horse race was a contract which bound the seller and could be enforced by suit, is surprise to the sporting fraternity.

concerning the fine quality of this lady's

her first great success. Jeffrey Lewis has
played the part of Cora here, and it will be
of interest to note the difference between

be safely assumed that Miss Changers Cora

bodies, which they no sooner dropped than
they hurried back for others. l have seen
girls of fifteen years, bare-footed and bare
headed in the blistering rays of an August
sun, breaking up the ground by swinging
mattocks heavy enough to tax the strength
of an able bodied man.

a Setback.
A new beat has arrived in town.
He called on A. J. Johnston, the printer,
yesterday, and after saying that he was q
stranger in town, said he was very much
plea sed to meet Mr.. Johnston, because their
names were alike-his name was Johnston,
too. Then he went on to tell about being
from the north of Ireland, and having two
brothers in Southern California whom he
was very DESTROYS of visiting. But be lacked
several dollars of having.the required fare,
and he hoped Mr.. Johnston-because their
names were the same-would assist him.
Mr. Johnston, however, didn't have any
money with him, and told the enterDrising
stranger to call around again.
Mr. Johnston in speaking of the matter
to his friends later in the day, was sur
prised to learn that the same chap had
been around to see some of them, too-and
in each case his name was the same as
theirs.
Among those whom Mr.. Johnston spoke
to..was Deputy County Clerk Rhoads. The
latter had not as yet met the new man, but
he did not have to wait long tor him.
1t was while the State House case was on
hearing in Judge Armstrong; Court, that
Mr.. Rhoads received word that a gentle
man outside wished to see him. He went
out, and was Immediately confronted by
the man with the same name as his.
"Rhoads is not common name at all, you

What 1t Cost Rim.

Almost everybody in and about Chicago
knows John bowling. Well, it was in
1888. think, and Derby day at Washing
ton Park. Before Bowling left the races
his wife said to him;
John, you remember you promised to
invest $500 for me on the Derby, don't
you~
ayes, DEAR" replied the husband, Awhat
horse shall 1 put it on"
son Silver Cloud, please"
"Silver Cloud? Why, you're crazy.
The horse hasn't ghost Of a show"
"No matter. / see by the papers there
is thirty to one against him, and | have a
presentiment he'll win"
John argued, but to no purpose, and
finally promised to fulfill his wife's behest.
He didn't do anything of the sort; got
into the betting ring and plunged heavily
on the favorite.
Result: Silver Cloud won in rush and
very easily. Bowling kicked himself,
cursed his luck, and was generally unpleas-
ant to himself and his friends, but he dare
not 90 home and tell his wife the chance
he had lost. He bought her $4,000
house, decided it to her, and to this day
Mrs. Bowling thinks the property became
hers through her clairvoyant prescience IN
betting on the phenomenally long shot

Three Rocks.

One Of the most successful business men
in this country, a man who beginning with
out a dollar has made a worldwide reputa-
ton in amassing a huge fortune, and in
maintaining character for strict integ-
rity, recently warned all toys entering a
commercial life that there were three rocks
ahead, on which if they one ran aground
they would go to ruin.
The first was liquor Nothing can be
made of young man in business life" he
adds, mo matter what his ability, if he
drinks"
The second was eculation. The found
ations OF any business whether il be that
of great controller of trust or mere
newsboy selling a dollars worth of papers.
are undermined the moment the gambling
element comes into it.
This warning is not likely to reach eff
fectively any large speculatiors through
The Companion. But it will reach tens of
thousands of lads, who in farm houses. in
offices and shops are tempted to invest part
of their small earnings in lotteries or
stock gambling. Two facts bearing on
this subject are worth their consideration.
A man who, as legitimate broker
reached a controlling position in Wall
street, was asked Just before his death if he
had known many men outside of the Ex-
change to make fortune by gambling in
stocks. After some consideration he re-
piled;
"Not single one. have known anna
teurs to come on the street and make large
sums by chance hit. But they always
preserved, and invariably ended poorer
than when they began. The business more
than any other requires long experience
and carefully trained judgment. No novice
can master 1t,
The other fact is that the profits Of the
most fairly conducted lottery in the United
States were so vast that it was enabled
to offer a million and quarter of dollars
a year for the mere right to renew its
charter.
What chance has the poor shop boy or
clerk who buys share In lottery ticket
or speculates in stock, to turn his dollar
into thousands as he hopes, against such
odds as these?
The third rock in the way of the BUSH
ness man was the reckless backing of his
fellows. His first duty, says the wise
counselor, is to his partners and creditors.
After their interests are secured let him be
generous.
A rock, not pointed out upon this chart,
has proved the ruin of countless business
craft. 1t is the temptation dishonesty to
adulterate or lower the value of the goods
sold. A drug, a machine, fabric is of
the best quality and hence deservedly
popular. It's owners are reaping a small
but certain profit. A little more alcohol
in the drug, cheaper make of steel in the
machine, mixture of shoddy in the yarn,
and these profits will be immeasurably in
creased.
But the public is keen of eye and merci-
less of judgment. The dishonest manu-
facturer finds his downward road short and
swift. His capital of good opinion once
destroyed, it never can be restored

even their own dead. They seem to lead
a merry, happy-go-lucky sort of life, in
quisitive as four-year-old toddler and de-
structive as Kansas grasshoppers. Many
thousands of gophers have succumbed to
the strychnine supplied free this year to
territorial farmers by the Northwest Gov
eminent with hope of reducing the ranks
of the veritable scourge.
Man, however, is not his only enemy.
The prairie badger, birds of prey, etc., find
1t dainty morsel, but in many settled
parts of the West the badger has long ago
pulled up stakes, and the birds of prey are
poor in strength. Thus the gopher goes
forth in the hot sunshine whistling "In-
crease and multiply" with the air of a
rodent sultan.
Perhaps the most bitter enemy of the
gophers is the CAMS fdmiiiaris of the
Latins, to wit, the dog. Dogs, especially
those swift of leg and sharp of claw, will
"lay" for them for hours at time. A
bulldog in one Western town killed over
fifty during the summer of 1890, and dur
ing the recent rains every rodent that
crawled out of his hole, in many places
half drowned, was worried by some prowl-
ing cur or another.
The gopher never depends on one road
of exit or entrance. He may have half
dozen or even more entrances. His nest
in colder regions is from eight to fifteen
feet below the ground, and during seven
months Of the year each gopher family is
safely intrenched in a frost proof citadel,
sleeping the hours away in Egyptian
darkness.
1t is claimed that thorough cultivation
will drive him out more efiectually than
any other means, but on large farms and
on new lands this can not be done suffi-
GENTLY thorough to act with benefit The
eviction is slow, and not until settle
ment becomes a populous town can it be
sure.--S. Louis Globe Democrat.

A Wonderful Horse.

While the public is still marveling over
Salvatore wonderful performance in rum
ming mile in 1859, there are few who
have, through comparison and analysis,
sought to realize what terrific burst OF
speed this is, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t is nearly forty miles an hour-a rate
averaged by very few of our fastest trains.
There are $3.50 feet in mile, so that for
every one of these 95 seconds-for every
beat of a mans pulse-this wonderful
horse covered SO $40 feet of ground. The
shortest space of time noted by the
turfmans watch is a quarter of a
second an interval so brief that
the eye can hardly observe, the mind
can hardly appreciate it. Yet in every
one of those 3S2 quarters Of a second that
magnificent creature leaped 16 $40 feet
Such are the amazing results of careful
breeding as exhibited in the American
race horse. Is the human race improving
in the same ratio? Scarcely.

EARLY MORNING FIRE.
A K-Street Coffee House and Its Con.
tents Go Up in Smoke.


tents Go Up in Smoke.
About half-past o'clock yesterday
morning residents in the vicinity of Fifth
and K streets were awakened by the cries
of woman and the shouting of fire !" by
a number of men. A blaze had been dis
covered in the rear of the coffee house at
524 K street, owned by Mrs. E. Peters. No
body appeared to know where to get key
to turn in an alarm, and several parties
rushed to the Corporation House and ham
mered on the door there. No one could be
aroused, however, and in the midst OF the
excitement the whistles at the Water
Works sounded an alarm from box 80. The
department was soon on the scene, and in
very short time had the fire under con-
troll though it had been raging for nearly a
half hour.
The Building was owned by the Young
Mems Christian Association and the loss is
fully covered by insurance. A purse con-
tanning SI42 was lost in the flames for
time, but the fremen afterwards recovered
the money
The loss on the fixtures and furniture in
the coffee house will amount to about $500.
1t is nearly all covered by insurance.

1t Resembles that of Last Year at
the Same Time.
The Signal Service temperature at a. NJ
and P. NJ. yesterday was $50 and $50,
with light and variable winds and a partly
clouded sky, The highest and lowest tenn
perature was 900 and so, as against 800
and SO one year ago, which shows how
near the weather of yesterday was to
that of the same date last year as far as
temperature was concerned. One year ago
it was clear, while yesterday the skies were
partly obscured with threatening stratus
clouds floating in the air.
The highest and lowest one year ago to-
day was $50 and $50.
The barometer yesterday still remained
lowest in California and highest in Oregon,
which will insure US variable winds, and
inclined to blow from some northwesterly
point
