The next race was for the free-for-
all pace for 5000 purse, mile heats, 3
iB 8. This was Ida SIS race; when it
came to the finish there was nothing
else in il; but Walter Steele's Prince
Pulaski mare, Ella Brown, was fleet
enough and game enough to make it
look like there was a chance for her,
and TO keep alive the expectancy of
the crowd. Tom Hughes, who can do
better when he will, broke all to
pieces in the first heat and was dis
tanced. Ole Bull, as usual, acted the
fool. Following is a summary:

but all the others were outclassed by

it was no good, the Hambletonian

showed, and will prove IL some day.

AN OLO-TIME LOCOMOTIVE,
Rescued from the Scrap-rilc, She Is sun
Doing Good Service.

Rescued from the Scrap-rilc, She Is sui
Doing Good Service.
A large. well-made locomotive Is an
object of admira ton to all who have an
opportunity to closely examine the IN
tricate makeup OF this wonderful
mechanism; but a great many remember
the DAYS when railway engines were not
so large, nor nearly so handsome as they
now are.
In the sos engines were much smaller
than they are at present anu were gen
orally more decorated with brass work.
A great many Of these old timers are
still in use by railroads, despite the TACT
that it is commonly accepted that boil
ers and machinery give out in certain
number of years. Many have been re-
built, and are doing switching service;
while others are used in hauling light
suburban trains; but the greater major
ity Of them are lying in the scrap
piles" at the companies shops. ono Oh
these old locomotives, with quite his
tory, although almost wheelless, cylln-
/ derloss, and, in fact, devoid of the essen
i tial running gear, can be found In the
Chicago. Milwaukee & ST. Paul rail-
way yards giving good service every
day. She is the old Prairie du CHEN,
No 81, built about 1857; and in her
palmy days she flew over the rails be-
tween Milwaukee and Madison, WIS.
Years Of service on the line wore out her
machinery, and with many signs from
old railroad men she was RELOCATED TO the
scrap-pile. Here this combination OF
machinery lay until her cab
nearly rotted away. The tender
was attached to another engine, and
all the valves, pumps, gear and
brass-work that could be utilized were
transferred to other engines as repairs
were made Few suspected that this
old, rust-eaten engine could over be
again brought into service. But one day
last fall an order was received TO load
her on fat car and bring the old engine
to Chicago Here she was lodged in the
yard, and before many days she had
sunk several feet in the mud. Ashes,
cinders and yard refuse accumulated
about her, until one would have eX-
perienced difficulty in recognizing her
as a locomotive. Cars heated by steam

I They must be warm. 1t would be un-
wise to build fires for that short trip,
and impracticable to attach the road
engines TO the trains while switching
was to be done. Now, here is where the
old locomotive, shorn of all her finery,
came in handy. Her old boilers were
utilized to supply the necessary steam
which was conveyed to the heating APP
paratus Of tho cars by flexible pipes.
Wedged in among a lot of cars, old, di-
lapidated, and forgotten by the veteran
railroaders, this engine, saved from the
scrap-pile, still contributes its part to the
operating OF a railroad. Perhaps she
has outlived the engineer who first
pulled the throttle and occupied seat
in her cab.-Chicago News.

A CONVICT'S STORY.
Pardoned After Spending Thirty Years oil
His Life In Prison.

After more than thirty years in prison
Patrick L. Brady is again at liberty ana
is going home to ireland to see if any OF
the playmates of his youth are still Hv-
ing. Brady's life has been romantic in
a measure and he has been in all sorts
of crime, from deserving from the navy
to burglary and accomplico in murder.
His exact term of service to the State
was thirty years, eight months and fif-
teen days, and as he said TO World re-
porter. ITS a long time"
Brady was born in the North OF Ire
land in 1910 When quito boy he ran
away from home and went aboard an
English schoolship. When he was sew
enteen years of age he deserted his snip
at Havre and signed as able seaman on
board an English bark about to sail Tor
Quebec. At that port Brady again de-
serted has ship and in company with
several companions made his way to AL
bany, living by stealing and begging
When Brady arrived at Albany he was
arrested for burglary and was sentenced
10 three years and six months imprison-
meut. After serving all but eleven
months OF his term Brady and an
other convict named Sowell escaped.
While escaping Sewell killed tho
head keeper Tho convicts were re-
captured after two days of liberty. They
were placed on trial for the murder OF
the keeper and Sowell and Brady were
sentenced to be confined in Clinton
prison one year and then executed.
This sentence was found to be unconsti-
tutional and it was committed TO imprls'
onmcnt for life That was in 1862,
From that timo until last July Brady
was confined in prison, occupying scy-
eral positions in the Jail Last July he
made application to bo transferred to
tho Albany prison and his request was
granted.
The fact Of the transfer was published
in several newspapers at the time, and
il was read by II. o. Wills, a former
convict who had reformed and was then
conducting revival meeting at Detroit,
Mr. Wills, who had been one OF the sew
en- convicts who wero concerned in the
escape, knowing that Brady was not
guilty Of the murder, interested himself
in Brady's behalf and paid three visits
TO this State in order to properly put
Tho case before Governor Hill. Mr..
Wills got Don NJ. Dickinson and Smith
NJ. Weed interested, and Governor Hill
pardoned Brady last September. Since
/ that time Brady has been living in De-
troit with Mr.. Wills, Sewell died In
prison, but before his death he made an
affidavit that Brady was not guilty OF

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer who has
long suffered from severe throat
or bronchial affection, supernduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DIR. Pierce 5
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, the obs
covery is an unequaled remedy.
When complicated with Chronic
Nasal Catarrh, its use should be
coupled with the use of DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. OF all druggists

SobrIety Among tho Jews.

DIR. Richardson cites the Jews MS a
diving example of the advantages of so
briefly. Thoremarkable vitality of their
race strikes him as something astound'
ing. Oppressed by cruel laws in tho
past, and living in abodcs whore others
have died yet they contrivod to oxist.
The explanation, according TO this indie.
fatigablc apostle OF Eygeia, is that
which was given by llallcr, a leading
German doctor Of the last century. 1t
is, that they lead, as a rule, simple
lives. and are mindful of tho expressive
maxim in Proverbs "Wine is mock
err" DIR. Herman Adler has pointed out
that. although Judaism docs not de-
nounco the taking of wine in modcra-
ton. there runs throughout the Hebrew
literature the strongest condemnation of
intcmperance 1t Is, however, we arc
told, a mistaken idea that during Pass

"A new cattle disease has appeared in
Kansas which is killing the animals in
great number. The state veterinarian is
unable to check the spread of the disease. -

for its insignificsnoe when it appeared.
Cattle dealers at Kansas City. Chicago
and elsewhere, knew that if any such
alarming state of things existed they
would not have had to 20 all the way 10
Iowa 10 find it out. The matter would
have been given publicity in another wsy
than by u short paragraph in an obscure
sheet. No new cattle disease exists il the
state, even in the remotest locality, aud
cattlemen need not be alarmed. II was
simply story started to subserve the end
stTlVen for by some treacherous speculator
who perhaps gained few dollars by it.
There is DO foundation for il, for if any
considerable number Of cattle had died. it
would have been known throughout the
state long before this. Cattlemen should
give the story no credence, r-aatever, for
no informed cattle dealer either here or at
Kansas City knows anything of it.
