A Dudes Success as a PIunger


 From the Kansas City Evening Timesl
 There will be an acquisition to the west ern turf next year in the person of Elmer Railey of Versailles, young gentleman who has a number of friends in this city. Until last summer Raiiey's reputation was that of dude of the first water. There wasn't ball or hop given anywhere with in fifty miles of Versailles that did not find Railey in attendance. Railey did nothing but dance and ride a bicycle on the smooth turnpike around his home, but, like most blue grass bloods, he was something of a sport, and when he had money the Lexington pool rooms and the card tables got it. He was down on his luck, but whenever he was in funds he was again sport. There was this differ ence between him and the ordinary two dollar dudes and clerks met in the pool rooms every day-Railey was a plunger when he had money, and last summer he made a ''killing."
 During the early spring Bailey never the blue grass colts, and he got some value able information. The sale of a bicycle and some other resources gave him cash capital of one hundred dollars, with which he started business at the Lexington spring meeting. He bet only on the two-year-old races at long odds, and things were at last coming his way. At the end of the meet | ing the young man was one thousand dol | lars to the good. He followed the races to Louisville, bided his time and kept his head. He had two good things and he | waited for them. He had watched Georgetown and knew what he could do. l When that colt started in the Alexander l stake he carried five hundred dollars of Railey's money at odds of five to one, and with Georgetown's win Railey won twen ty-five hundred dollars. A few days later he won five hundred dollars on two-year old named Mabelle in purse race. Al Latonia he brought his capital up to six thousand dollars and retired. Everybody of course, expected to see Railey go broke again, but he has invested his money 1T horsef1esh and will have breeding estab lishment and small string next season.

 Formation of a New England
 League.

 Colonel T. P. Lowell presided with W. E. Howe of Haverhill secretary, and a committee of five was appointed to visit the cities concerned and map out circuit.
 E. B. Fuller of Haverhill believed that a $1 200 limit for salaries should be adopted, which should be strictly lived up to.

 Portland and Lewiston, Me-, were talked over and it was shown that the interest in New England league club in Worcester is by no means Tagging.
 After there had been considerable inter change of opinion on the salary limit mat ter it was voted that it be fixed at $1, 200. It was also voted that each club joining the league be required to deposit $500 as a guarantee to finish the season.

HIS VOICE AT HIS FUNERAL.
Almost the Last Words of Kalakaua Will He Reproduced in Honolulu.

AlAnOSL tnc AA8t OTuo OA AuldAdu8 Will He Reproduced in Honolulu. From the San Francisco Chronicle.1
 Outside the little circle of immediate
 friends and attendants upon the late King Kalakaua who were admitted to the sick | chamber. it is not known that for the ten days prior to the monarch's death an Edi-
 son photograph stood near the bedside. Many who saw the instrument daily never suspected it's character or use, and during the excitable days preceding the kings death, during which every nerve was taxed to it's greatest tension, the innocent little machine reposed in it's shaded corner un- noticed and observed by all except by the kings chamberlain and his secretary.
 When the photograph was brought into the sickroom last Monday a week ago Chamberlain McFarlane explained it's use and purpose to the king, and begged that he would speak into the receiver. The near approach of death was not suspected at the time, but it was urged upon Kalaka- ua that in after years his people would be rejoiced to listen to the natural tones of their former ruler. Little did the king or or the chamberlain suspect that in less than a week the little waxen scroll contain ing the words of King Kalakaua in audible characters would be so highly pIized.
 The King consented and raising himself up in bed, put the receiver to his mouth and talked into the instrument in his na
