Mr.. Blackburn spoke Of the stainless honesty
of Mr.. Randalrs career, saying that he entered

quarter of a century of public service he went
out OF 1t only to go into his grave still poorer
II he left the public service with hands that
were empty the world knew that he left it with
hands that were clean. His distinguishing
characteristics were an honesty that was un-
questionable and q courage that was unfalter-
ing. The Lord never made u man more honest
nor man more courageous. He never knew
the name of fear. Though broken orb should
fall. fearless he would stand amidst the ruin

the play is about. His thoughts are rather

the combination is cutie complete he hears
an uproarious laughter from every one
around He turns to the lady or the gen.
tleman in the seat next to his own and
asks, what was it that he said?" He is
told, and then be has a good laugh to him

Just as he thoroughly digested that wit

heard it all but the last word. He can't
laugh without that, so he turns to the oc-
cupant of the next seat again and says
What was that last word?" Again he is
told. How he does enjoy it. He laughs
until the tears almost come-all by himself

MIN WITH MUSCLE
A Great Gathering at the Capt.
tai Oc::. II.
MALCOLM w. FOLDS FORECAST.

The Well Known Athlete Describes the
Events and the Entries and Gives His
Views as to the Probable yictors in the
Annual Amateur Championship Games.
The amateur championship games at
Analostan island, Washington, D. c., Oct.
IL, will be al unusually important event
in the world of athletics. There will be
nineteen events on the programme, fnclud-
ing six distances at Hat running, two at
hurdle racing, two ut walking, one at BIZ
cycling, three at weight throwing, three
1T jumping and two at tug of war. The
great rivalry among the most prominent
athletic clubs Of the United s. ates will be
settled for the ensuing year on this day,
and these organizations are leaving no
stone unturned to strengthen their teams.
In the 100 and 220 yards runs the most
prominent contestants will be Luther Cary,
Fred Westing, Mortimer Remington, Of
the Manhattan Athletic club; John Owen,
Jr., the present champion at these two dis
tances, and Harry .Jewett, of the Detroit
Athletic club, and perhaps c. ii. Sheriff.,
of the New York Athletic club These are
the fastest men in the United States, and
the championship at both these distances
will not go outside Of them. 1t is thought
that Cary, Owen and .Iewett have the best
chance of coming 10 the front.
Remington and }. S. Roddy, of the Man
hattans, and ". c. Downs and W. c. Dohm,
of the New York Athletic club, are the
most formidable contestants in the 40
yards class The chances are that either
Downs or Remington will he the victor.
These same men, with George S. Tracey, of
Halifax, and J. W Motfat, OF the Montreal
Amateur Athletic cuo. will combat for
honors in the $50 yards run. Tracey won
the American championship at this event
in 1887, and has not competed for the title
since. Tracey, Moffat, Downs and Dohm
will battle the fercest for the event this
year.
The one mile run will produce a great
field Of distance runners. A. B. George,
I. p. Connect, w. Mccarthy and +. NJ
Carr, of the Manhattan Athletic club; w.
D. Day, the cross country champion, and
Ernest Hjertberg, of the New Jersey Ath-
Ietic club and perhaps E. C. Carter, Of the
New York Athletic club, will lie the best
men in it, although the latter may be de-
barred from entering on account of his be-
ing the paid Handicapped of the A. A. U.
1t is freely predicted that the best Ameri-
can record Am. 81 2-5s.. will be crowded by
several of the conteS';"tS. The same men,
with the addition oi ONE lesser lights,

2. HJERTBERG. GEORGE SCHwEGLF

z. HJERTBERG. GEORGE SCHwEGLER-
will do battle for first place in the five
mile run. 1t is generally conceded, though,
that first place in this event will lie be-
tween Day and Connect.
The one and three mile walks will have
z. D. Lange, C. l.. Nicoll and J. Gregg, of
the Manhattans; w r Burkhsrdt, of
the Pastime Athletic club, OF New York
City, and the old time champion, Frank
p Murray, of the Acorn Athletic associa-
ton, of Brooklyn. Burkhardt is the first
choice for one mile, and Nicoll seems to be
the favorite for the longer event, but all
are flyers.
The two hurdles-12O yards, #. 6 in.
high, and 23O yards 2 #. 9 in. high-will
produce great timber topping. and the rec
ord in either one or perhaps both may go.
George Schwegler, II. L. Williams, A. A.
Jordan and J. p Lee, Of the New York
Athletic club; f. C.. Puffer, Of the New
Jersey Athletic club and A. Z. COPELAND,
of the Manhattsns, are the most expert
ones. Many athletes think COPELAND will
win.
The running high jump will be won In
the neighborhood of6feet, for r. K. Pritch-
ard and III. L. Hallock, of the Manhattans
(holdinG records respectively of ) it, lI1S
n. and 5 #. 1Oll in.); J. L. Morse and Dan
iel Loug, OF the Boston Athletic associa-
tion tthe respective records of whom are 5
it. ll$t in and fl. IL in will be the best
entries. These four men are so evenly
matched that few dare conjecture which
will win. The running broad jump will
be almost as close. The best competitors
will be Ernest S Ramsdell. of the Athletic
club of the Schuylkill navy; w. Halpin,
sf the New Jersey Athletic club; A +.
COPELAND, of the Manhattans, and A. A
Jordan, of the New Yorks. 1t is thought
that % feet will be done by the winner,
and each OF these four has done in the
neighborhood of that figure.
IL IL II. Baxter. of the New Yorks, is
not a competitor in the pole vault, first
honors will lie between E. ID. Ryder, of
the New Yorks; r. Curry. of the Boston
Athletic association and q. A Cooper Of
the Manhattans. Ryder has the best rec
ord of the trio, his figures being 10 #.

Big Partridge Story.

A western journal relates the following:
A few mornings ago Thomas Trees went
down the creek from his fathers house to
examine some traps he had set. While in
specting the traps he heard his dog max
ing an unusual noise some distance below
him. On going TO the dog he found him
lying on the ground and partridges stick
ing out all around his body The dog had
found fock, and alighting in the midst
had pinioned ten, but when he rose up
eight of them escaped, he still holding two
with his paws. Thomas secured the two
partridges-the others all escaping. This
is an extraordinary feat for dog, and only
needed word from the young man to have
secured the whole of the birds originally
captured by the dog
