Horse.
New York SUM-
Bicycle riders take the greatest in
tereSt in the marvellous exhibition of
Arthur Zimmerman in making the half
mile at Springfield. Mass. Thursday, i'll
the phenomenally wonderful time of
LOG As. As there is a possibility that
Zimmerman may beat this time before
the month runs out, the interest is at
white heat One feature of his late eX-
plot is the fact that it virtually equals
the best time in which a half mile has
been covered by a trotter when in COM
petition with other trotters. This time,
it is stated, was 1:0414, made by Nancy
Hanks in each of the second and third
heats with Allerton and Margaret S, at
Independence, To-, Aug. 27.
In studying Zimmerman's record,
time allowance must be made for two
and half or three seconds always lost
by the cyclists in consequence of the
fact that bicycle races are from stand
ing start, while trottng races are from
flying start. Take two and half sec
onds from Zimmerman's one minute,
six and four-tifths seconds, and the re-

time. Take three seconds and the result
is a half second better.
Zimmerman, however, is still far be-
hind the best trOtting time for the half
mile, though virtually even with the
best trotting time for the half made by
one horse out of Il field of starters. In
considering this point it should always
be remembered that in trotting races
best times for fractions of a mile are
officially recognized as records.
The best time made in public by a
trotter for a quarter mile is 80 sec
onds, which has been made by both
Maud s and Sunol. Sunol in private
trial has made 29119 seconds. As ZIm-
norman and two others have made
flying quarter in 90 4-5 seconds at the
Hartford tournament. the wheel is ''in
ip' at a quarter mile with those mag
nificent trotters. Naturally, bicycle
riders take pride in learning what the
bicycle is capable of, and though, as
horsemen prove, it is scarcely logical to
compare bicycling and trotting, except
when the former is from a flying start,
wheelmen are hoping that the bicycle
will approach still nearer to the trotter
before the season ends. Following is
table of records at the same distance i'll

AN ANCIENT RACE.
Remnants of People Who Flou

remnants Oh q feOple w no flOuf-
iShed Ten Thousand Y ears Ago.
The Guanches, the inhabitants Of the
Canary islands, are said to be the re IN
nants of the ancient race who 10, 600
years ago peopled the drowned CONT
nent OF Atlantis. They are reported t O
have been str ong and handsome, and of
extraordinary agility of movement, of
remarkable courage and OF loyal dis
position; but they showed the creduility
of children and the SIMPLE directness of
shepherds. So tall were they that the
Spaniards speak of them as giants, and
their strength and endurance were so
great that they were conquered by
strategem, but not by force. They ran
as fast as horses, and could leap over a
pole held between Two men five or six
feet high; they could climb the highest
mountains and jump the deepest ra-
vines.
Their endurance as swimmers was so
great that they were accustomed to
swim across the nine-mile strait between
the Lancerote and Graciosa. Having
no boats, their method of fishing was to
strike the fish with sticks, or catch them
in their hands while swimming. The
skulls, which are preserved in the mu-
seumS of the island, show marked cere-
bral development. the frontal and pa
rietal bone being we'll developed, and
the facial angle good. In the early days
OF the conquest, before rapine and MUIR
der had done their vile work, the
Guanches are spoken of as being must
cal and fond Of dancing and singing.
These arts. together with baSket-WeaV-
ing and pottery-making, were q few
relics of a great and remote civilization,
and were preserved in the same way as
if Europe were submerged the shep-
herds of the Tyrol, the Alps and the
Pyrenees would preserve the national
| airs and village dances of their re-
speetive countries.
The Guanches were, it is supposed,
| but the mountain shepherds of a sub
| merged world. Though so strong ply
sically, the Guanches were, neYerthe-
less, very gentle race; they rarely
made war on one another, and when the
Europeans fell into their hands they did
| not kill them, but sent them to tend
sheep on the mountains So tame were
the birds in this happy land that when
the Spaniards first landed they came
and fed out of their hands. To kill an
animal degraded a man; the butcher
was reprieged criminal and all out
cast. and lived apart, he and his assist
ants being supported by the state. No
woman was allowed to approach the
shambles. and in such horror was kill
ing held by these gentle giants that no
man could be ennobled until he had
publicly declared that he had not been
guilty of killing any animal, not even
goat. Their standard of morality was
high; robbery was almost unknown
among them. and drunkenness not yet
invented.

AFTER THE SEASON.

FAREWELL since the season is over
All, me- but Its moments were sweet
You are off, via Folkstone or Dover,
To some continental retreat.
On Frenchman and German you'll lavish
The smiles that can madden me still;
While /, with the gillie McTavish,
Am breastlng the heather-ciad hill.
Oh. do you remember the dances
The dearest were those we sat out
How frowned when detecting your glances
On others, which caused you to pout?
You are changeful, and coy, and capriciors
A weathercock easily blown;
But when shall hear the delicious
One word that proclaims you my own!
They say that an eloquent passion
Has long become quite out of date,
That true love is never the fashion,
And marriage a Nearisome state
They cOnjure up many bogie
To guard mans bachelor life,
And keep him selfish old fogy
And stop him from taking wife.
They VOW that wife needs carriage,
And opera boxes and stalls.
That moneys the one thing in marriage
And checks are as common as calls =
They say women shy like some horses;
Arrows made to love and obey;
They tell you drear tales of divorces,
And scandals, the talk of the day.
But hang all those cynical rsilings-
just write me one exquisite line
To say you'll look over my failings,
And promise me you will be mine.
And. though I'm aware it's the merest
Small matter of detail, to clear
The ground, may mention, my dearest
I've full thirty thousand year.

THEATRICAL TIPS.

LADY Barter and Nance Oldfeld- was
Rose coghfan's double bill at the Metropol-
itan last evening. played to a large audience
Lady Barter" is play whose interest de-
pends more on the cleverness of the per-
formers than the strength of its lines. and its
two parts. the title role and the part of Col.
Pierce, are delightfully."- entertaining in the
bare words they inter. The opportunities in
such play for such woman as Miss Cogh-
Ian are great, and the actress makes the most
of them. The part suggests her old role.
Forget Ale Not but is decidedly more
pleasing. 1t is refined and brilliant, and at
The same time heartless and fiippant. With
the exception of an occa sional slight indis-
.tinctness in ennneiation,- Miss Coghlan' s
Lady Barter is the realization of the char
-acter- 1t is natural, a little cynical. q
trifie ili-natured. but exceedingly be-
witching. Miss Coghlans gowns are in
excellent taste and of great elegance
Throughout she is Lady Barter John It.
Sullivan as Col. Pearce is very pleasing in a
not especially trying part. He is consistent
land contained, and neither acts too much or
too little. The rest of the cast is good al
though Edward PEPPER as Hon. Eustace
Brent Is weak.
Nance Oldfeld' is an idyllically sweet
one-act sketch. and in it Miss Coghlan dis
plays the sincerity and womanliness Lady
Barter lacks. The comedy is bright, and
the varied scenes of mimic tragedy, pure
comedy and sentiment give an opportunity
for the display of varied powers. Miss Cogh-
Ian is at home in the sketch and gives it an
artistic finish. John Sullivan is The love
sick swain, in the conventional sentimental
style, and Thomas Whiffen plays Matthew
Oldworthy with a fidelity 10 nature rare

A WORD OF ADVICE

Do you know luscious mouth
Honey oozing like the South,
Lips like bashful roses red
On a bed of lilies wed?
Do not think about It'll
Thinking leads 70 mad desire
That will scorch the heart like fire:
If a sweet mouth haunts you still
Put it from you with a will.
Never think about it.
Do you know pair of eyes,
Dreamy, SoE and passion wise?
Or mayhap'a pair you've seen
OF serene and naughty sheen
Do not think about EN-.
Liquid eyes are like pool
Where one looks and sees fool.
Can you deem that such are kind
If they kill your peace OF mind?
Never think about 'em.
Do you know q downy cheek,
Peachy plump and satin sleek.
Where, when daughters zephyrs sweep.
Dimples deep like eddies keep?
Do not think about it.
Dimples come and dimples go
Where the roses stain the snow,
But the wound that did the harm
Fen outliyes the fatal charm.
Never think about it.
TITS rule for young and old,
Good TO keep and good to hold:
Woman's charms are devils bait
All too late we mourn our fate,
Do not think about 'em.
Lilly hands and fairy feet.
Luscious lips and glances sweet
Loves a chain and these are links.
He's slave who looks and thinks.
Never think about 'em

but the brave and honest suffer from
the tnrong OF frauds that jostle by them.
The average shows that a large class
must have an allowance far below real
needs. The big pensions are apt TO
be taken by those who have never
earned any recognition. or have no oc-
casion for any money aid. For million
aires TO draw pensions is an absurdity
and wrong to the needy. The report
notes the fact. often remarked. that
pensioners are remarkable for longev-
lily. The death rate last year was only
seventeen per 1000, and. under the act
of 1899, but fourteen per 1000.

c. Tonkin, who claims to have discov-
cred rich vein of silver ore within
twenty miles of this city, an announce
ment of which was given III the GLOBE
some time ago. in an interview to-day
refused to disclose the location of the
mine, but gave some hints that lead 10
the conclusion that it is not south of the
city i'll the copper range, as at first
given out, but is on the Minnesota side
and northwesterly from Superior. Mr..
Tonkin claims that lie is still negotiat-
ing for some of the land on which the
vein is located. 1t has been disclosed
to-day that MIR. Tonkin has made a
proposition to the Superior smelling

in that plant and to operate it in con-
nection with his mine. Some people
here say the story is fairy tale. and
put little confidence in his CLAIMS even
though he does display goodly supply
of rich ore samples.

QUEER CoMBINaTIoN

If the Democrats fail to elect their
candidate for governor in New York,
their failure will be due more to the op-
position of the liquor dealers associa-
ton than almost any other single cause.
That looks queer. in face of the favorite
theory of the Republicans that Gov.
HILL is the pet of the liquor interests,
and the Democratic party the constant
seryitor Of the rum power" In view
OF the DEVELOPMENTS at times, and es-
pecially just at present, doubt is thrown
upon the strict impartiality of the
Republican view. Some have insisted
that combination OF liquor politics
was had in favor of HARRISON, and gave
him the vote of New York state, with
the election. Now the official organ of
the liquor dealers association. the Wine
and Spirit Gazette, finds that the linuId
path leads into the Republican camp.
FLOWER. the Democrat, not only does
not drink, and has no wine on the table,
but goes to church Sunday, and does
not do needless work OH that day.
On the other hand. FAssETT, the Re-
publican, is broad and liberal on the
liquor question, was partly educated at
All university in Germany. and has two
kinds of wine on his table regularly.
His wife is brought in to say that she
would as soon deprive her husband of
his salt as OF his wine, and that at no
time in the year is there not ample pro-
vision for brandy and whisky in addi-
ton to the wine. The lady is credited
with being good deal of politician
herself. and her statements are
palpably for campaign purposes.
There is no apprehension that such
open catering to the liquor inter-
est and the pronounced favor of
the liquor dealers organ will drive
away any of the temperance Repsbli-
cans. They are too good party men to
be influenced in this way. Still. the
situation must be somewhat embarrass-
ing to those Republicans who have
been accustomed to look upon the Dem
ocratic party in New York as the I'M
swerng ally of the liquor interest.
The combination of liquor men and
temperance Republicans may be for
midable at the polls.
