THE JOCKEYS MOTHER
Overcome by Excitement at Mon

Overcome by Excitement at Mon
mouth While Watching Her Boy
Ride Arab.
New York Sun.
AT Monmouth Park on Saturday a
neatly dressed middle-aged woman, with
a motherly face, sat just behind the re-
porters' stand. She watched every
thing and everybody closely, and
seemed to be laboring under great ex-
element. AS the horses were going to
the post for the sixth race, she stood up
and looked down the track anxiously.
Turning to several men sitting behind
her, she asked with assumed compos-
ure: "Can you tell me what horse the
boy Decker is riding?"
Arab" replied one of the men.
SIS he favorite?" she asked.
No" said the man. do you want
to make a bet?"
'Oh. no, l don't care to make bet.''
she replied, "but Pm interested in the
race"
Just then the cry went up, They're
Off" The woman stood ON tip-toe and
watched them coming. AS they entered
the stretch she clapped her hands and
cried: ''Come on, Arab; come on!
Good horse, good horsew The horses
were nearly at the wire when her eX-
element overcame her and she sank to
the floor. She didn't swoon, but she
didn't have any strength left. When
she was lifted upon char her first
question was: "Did Arab win?"
She was told that he was beaten by
head. She was terribly disappointed,
AS soon as she had recovered suffi,
GENTLY she left the track. A man who
said he knew her said she was Jockey
Decker'S mother. Decker had been a
jockey several years, but that was the
first time she had seen HIM ride.

Coroner MESSENGER Astonishes
Them, and Has Lot of Fun
Himself.
Coroner NJ. J. B. Mess emer, of New
York, who has been visiting in this city
for several weeks, returned home to-
day to complete his prepa rations for at
tending the international medical con-
gress at Berlin. Since the publication
last week of DR.. Messem er's power of
hypnotiZing, he has received number
of letters from physicians in this city
asking for demonstration of these
powers, and a few evenings ago he held
a private Seance at which only ply
sicianS and few personal friends as
sisted. The success of DR.. MESSENGER
was remarkable, and the feats he ac-
complished left no doubt in the minds
of the physicians who attended that he
possesses the power of hypnotizing.
DR.. MESSENGER took as his first subject
a young lady who knows nothing what
ever of medical science, and in few
moments he succeeded in placing her
under his influence. Then he called
out a gentleman from the party. He
placed one of the young lady's hands
on the gentleman's head and the other
on his heart. and then told her to give
diagnosis of his physical condition.
This she proceeded to do in the most
minute detail. When she had completed
the diagnosis Coroner MESSENGER invited
| couple of the physicians to diagnose
the gentleman's condition. They did
so, and were amazed to learn that the
young lady. while under hypnotic influ-
ence, had made correct diagnosis OF
| the case. In order to better satisfy the
physicians, test was made on another
gentleman in the party, and III this case
also the young lady gave correct
diagnosis.

Fancy Boxes and Folding Frames
the Popular Receptacles for
Prints.
New York World
The plush-coyered and leather-bound
photograph album has been banished,
not only from use, but from the house.
There was a good deal of romance about
the book, and some of us NAV lay it
aside with regret; but the fact remains
that it has had its day, and that settles
the matter. In the benbonniere, in the
enamel brooch, in the cardcase and in
the back of the tablet there is space
for the sweet face and the memories it
calls up, while the man with sentiment
IN his soul and secret locked up in his
heart can get leather case with room
for the wife, mother or child.
For the card and cabinet pictures of
the men and women who come and go,
leaving their influence on our lives,
/ there are folding cases bound in leather
OF artists silks, with capacity of from
two to thirty photographs. These book
frames can be hung up, used as panels
along door OF fireplace, OF put on a
shelf or table. The most popular
receptacle, however, is box. You
can get chest made after the
style OF a cigar box of any size
desired, and decorate it to suit
your taste or the surrouning room. a
lining of satin or velvet is easily applied
with mucillage, and if at all skilled with
the brush, some wild flowers or mask
OF Polly will enhance its beauty. A tin
box, such as water crackers come in, is
not bad, smeared with luster paints,
but an oak box is better, since It serves
as seat when not open, and palm or
malacca box is best, if a sweet odor is
desired. These are for the floor. For
the tgble something more ornamental is
required. and, after the 500 Ores
den chinas, there are the tile boxes, por-
celain boxes and still others made of
Limoges. Then there are little bamboo
stands, something like a lady's work
table. with several departments in
which views os scenery. statuary, cathe-
drals OF castles may be kept Still an
other way to show photographs is to
spread them over small table, two,
three or four deep, for general inspec-
tien. This is an easy way to get at
them. 10 be sure. they will become

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-The classified

expects to complete the general
outline of the principal divisions of the

is claimed to be simpler deS-

sections has been agreed pom. Prof.
Goode divided the exhibits into ten de-
partments, each department containing
ten divisions, aud each division
ten sections. The latter subdivision
was not always carried cut to the last
decimal. and it somestimes became nee
Gated by letters of the alphabet. This
classification the committee regards as
confusing, and it has accepted the prop
osltion of M. ii. De Young to designate
the departments by the letters of the
alphabet. as A B G, etc. The sub divi-
sions and sections will be designated
by the numerals. MIR. De Young, in
an interview tonight, said: 1--WE
have laid out the scope of
the exposition in twelve great
departments to occupy about nine

Some of the committee did not de-
sire to signify viticulture as a de-
partment and it was on that
point that we had heated argument,
but finally decided as above. Yes, we
have made some entirely new depart
ments. For instance there has
not existed III any other CLASH

Saturday afternoon she paid visit to

upon her to fold her hands and sit idle
while her mother was busy, so the little

rather strange that ''maid so rich''
should stoop to wash steps, accested
her.

After recess Mr.. Blackstock opened the
case for the defense. He introduced
the certificate of Birchall's marriage in
England to Florence Stevenson. Nov.
~, 1888, proving that if in
England then he could not have
been in Blenheim swamp in
October of that year. as one of the wit
nesses testified. John Raab testified
that on Tuesday evening, Feb. IS. he
heard two shots in the swamp, one a
minute or two after the other, and di-
rectly after two men came out and
went west. Mrs. Schultz, who lives op-
posite Raab, also heard these two shots.
She said they were not loud. John
Friedenburg testified that he gave a
ride to two men on Feb. IL. about 1890
in the morning. They were going east
in the direction of Blenheim swamp.
Witness swore neither one was

cided to arrest them when Birch
all diverted his attention. Then
followed the evidence concern
ing Hunters trail through the swamp.
The crown had many references to the
trail in their evidence. and Benwell's
body was found beside it. William
Burgess said he knew the swamp thor
Oughiy, had hunted in 1t for
fifty years and never knew of
a trail. John Strobe, hunter of
twenty years, and Robinson Smiley with
fifty years experience as a Nimrod in
the swamp SAID the same thing. Mr..
BlackstOck said that all the evidence
for the defense would be in by noon to-
morrow at the latest. He asked then
that an adjournment be taken
until Monday morning to give
evidence. Judge Mcmahon granted
the request. Mrs. Birchall is very feeble
and has not been in court since Mon
day. Comment on every hand here is
that the defense offered is exceedingly

ELECTRIC SIGNALING AT SEA.
A Device Promising Better Results
Than ANY Thus Far Obtained.

ADevice Promising Better Results
Than Amy Thus Far Obtained.
New York Times.
An apparatus for signaling in which
electricity displays prominent part is
about to be introduced, and for marine
signaling and night operations it gives
every assurance of being able to do
more than any other apparatus now in
use. 1t consists of hollow iron pole,
from the right and left hand sides of
which project horizontally four Oblong
metal frames. Each of these contains
two shutters, which in their normal
positions are horizontal. and which are
mounted on axes so that they may be
revOlved. One side of each pair of shut
tiers is painted vertically with red and
white stripes. while the other side forms
white diamond OH a dark ground. At
the inner end of each shutter is fixed
recessed pulley over which passes
a chain which. OH being pulled, grips
the pulley and causes the shutter to re-
volve. Only four working chains are
required, the lower pulley of each
frame being operated by subsidiary
chain suspended from its corresponding
operating chain. The working chains
are carried to the bottom of the iron
hiooes WHCIO JIlCy are JOlllGu 10 wire
ropes extending to the deck of the yes
sci. or any other desired part thereof.
The shutters represent the alphabe
and also certain signals. Thus, on
causing any shutter or combination of
shutters to be exposed by pulling any
one or more chains. any letter or words
may be flashed. The four wire ropes
are secured to horizontal levers, so that
by depressing or raising any one lever
any message may be signaled. The
operator has only in front of him the
four levers and card upon which the
signal code is printed.
Signals may be transmitted with this
apparatus with great rapidity. and it
Goes not require an expert to work it.
The electrical part of the apparatus
comprises four electric lamps, fixed at
the four corners of the frames, ana is
only used for night signaling in con-
junction with the same code. The four
lamps are backed by coIored refectors,
and are connected with a battery OF
dynamo, as the case may be, through
make and break switches. Thus, on
depressing any switch, its correspond
ing lamp is placed in circuit and lighted,
and on releasing the switch the light is
extinguished. BY this means any signal
may be flashed. A fifth electrical lamp
is also placed ON the apparatus, and is
used purely for lighting nurnOSes
