ALBANY. June 10.-The Southeastern Circuit
meeting at Island Park opened to-day. When
the trotting meeting began this afternoon
there was a moderate attendance. but the bet
ting ring had large majority over the grand
stand. The track was dry and dusty. Two
trots were on the programme. and the first, the
1870 class, occupied the entire afternoon and
required seven heats to end it. Yorktown
Belle was strong favorte. but she did not

beating the fold easily twice she failed mys-
terously. and Plush. who had looked like a

necessary number OF heats. There were
murmurs OF crooked work by the Yorktown
Belle party. but It Is said they
backed the mare and refused to hedge at any
time In the race. Dawson scored his seco nd
victory by landing the 2:T class In straight
heats. while tho four-year-old mare Fanny
Swope made a most credtable showing Tor
her first appearance in race. She forced

There were two pretty sisters who
had married, oue an eminent lawyer,
the other a distinguished literary man.
Literary nan dies, and leaves younger
sister IA widow.
Some years roll away, and the widow
lays aside her weeds. Now, then, it
happens that a certain author and
critic has occasion on a broiling day
in summer to call on the eminent law,
yer, husband of the elder sister. He
finds the lawyer pleading and swelter-
ing in a crowded court, sees hat the
lawyer IS suffering dreadfully from the
heat, pitIes him, rejoices that he him
self is not a lawyer, and goes for a
cool sumter under tAe shelterIng trees
of a fashionable park and garden.
Among the ice eating, tanning
crowd there. he meets the younger of
the two sisters, and for a moment
thinks he is talking to the elder.
ooh, Mr.. -" says the lady,
''how dreadfully hot it is hcrel'
Yes. madam, replies our luckless
critic, 1t is hot here; but | a assure
you tba heat Of this place isn't Il cir
cumsttnce when compared with the
heat of the place where your poor dear
husband is suffering today"
\ horror stricken expression comes
over the face Of the lady she rises
from her chair, and h%ounces indig-
nautly away. New York Ledger.

FUTURE

The real estate men have formed a
permanent organization, elected perma-
peut officers, and in the course of a few
DAYS will be ready to get down to bust
ness. They have undertaken a great
work, but from the disposition already
manifested we have the utmost confidence
that they will successfully accomplish 1t.
Cheyenne is already the load-star OF
attraction for thousands of people through
ont the United States. Men have their
ewes fixed upon this city as a place in
which they may find homes or profitable
investment. Those who desire homes
must be able to secure employment
and those seeking investment must
be provided an ever : widening
field for the safe and profit
able utilization Of capital 1t both o!
these tasks are to be successfully accom-
plished the methods OF the past can not
be the methods of the future. Those
mos. deeply interested in the growth of
the town can no longer pursue the even
tenor of their way and with easy and sell
satisfied Indifference trust to chance for
such development and improvement as
may come to them,
On every citizen now here the future
rests to TO a greater or less degree. Each
man has a duty to perform. If he can do
no better be should put his best foot for
ward and talk up the town. Those hiv
ing property interests should cheerfully
contribute to the general pool, not as a
donation but as an investment which will
be returned to them a hundred fold.
But above all things the eyes OF the
people should be turned toward the de
velopment Of the latent resources by
which we are surrounded and when they
are developed the ores. minerals and oils
should not be carried past our doors for
reduetion and refinement outside of the
territory. Omaha is preparing to utilize
the oils 10 Central and Northern Wyom
ing; copper ore from " halen canyon is
being shipped To PittsburC and Hartsyilic
ores are sent to Denver. Wyoming is one
vast storehouse Of minerals. Without
proper means of Reduction at home they
will be drained elsewhere and other
points will profit by them.
Denver's chief prosperity comes from
the fact that the ontire state of Colorado
pays tribute to it A visit to the sur
rounding mountain towns shows the sour
ces OF Denyer's wealth. There the valu
able ores are taken from the bosom Of
mother earth but they do not pass beyond
the elementary stage Of refinement before
they are shipped into Denver,
Ii Cheyenne exhibits the same relative
energy and enterprise as did Denver it car
place itself upon precisely the SAME foot
ing with relation to Wyoming as Denver
occupics with regard to Colorado. The
matter rests entirely in the hands ofour
own people and they should give to it
their most serious consideration

You had an accordion skirt last year
and you are gazing at it in horror. You
are wondering how in the world you
could ever get those creases out, and you
look at those widths of good material
and wish you had never heard of such a
musical fashion as that plating. Now,
you can sponge and press and bring all
the ardor of a ~flatiron and your soul to
bear upon that material and the creases
will not come out. The only way to get rid
of them is to send them to the cleaners,
and whether he does it with steam, or
whether he calls In the aid of the one
who invented this style, or what happens,
he does not tell. But the widths come
home to you as smooth as when they
first appeared from the shop, and the
possibilities of those straight strips are
wonderful.-New York Sun.

cal purpose This is the cause Of much
satisfaction in Wyoming, but that our
Rocky mountain Goals would produce as
good coke as any eastern Goals has long
been known here in Colorado. The Col
orado and Wyoming coal fields are prac-
tically the same, and the product of our
coking ovens is in every way equal to the
ovens of Connelsville or any other eastern
ovens. Citizens of WyominV need have
no doubt that their supply of coke will
be equal to all demands of iron or other
smelters. So far as this century goes it
Is i~ncxhaustible.

The day of the smelling bottle, which
the smart girl used to flourish as a DO
liceman did his club, has gone by, and
the enormous glass monstrosities, like
stray pins, have disappeared, dear only
knows where. Instead, tiny silver TASKS
that depend from the chatelaine, ones of
gold enamel or glass duplicating some
famous ones of the past, are chosen,
and, unlike the silver ones, are not car
ried around, but are put here, there and
everywhere among the b~ric-a-brac on my
lady's tables. The perfume is no longer
the one she herself favors for personal
use, but instead some curious pungent
odor is selected, the effect of which is to
tone one up. Odd Chinese scents are
specially priced, but one which the
chemist a assure the buyer is an old
Egyptian recipe is eagerly purchased,
and no matter how stufTy it may smell
or how suggestive of mummies it may
be it is counted of great value.-Bab's
Letter.
