An example of English rs she is
spoke" in Ireland is the word ALLOW"
which, in the north at any rate is uni
versally applied so as not only to per-
pick but often to greatly irritate the
Saxon visitor. "Allow" means "ad-
wise, and 50 the phrase, II don't allow
you TO do that, so far from being in
any sense a prohibition, is merely an
expression conveying the inadvisability
of the proposed action in the opinion
of the speaker.
Street. again, is word that may
be cited as having gained fresh mean
ing from it's sojourn in the Green
Isle" 1t has not lost its old meaning;
it is still used to denote a road lined
with houses, or a row of houses; but
you will also hear a street spoken OF
when houses are few and far between.
Then it denotes the space before the
door of house, or more probably the
space between the back or kitchen door
and the farm buildings. SO, when on
calling at country house or cottage
you are told the owner is ''up the
street" you infer, not that he has gone
to the neighboring town, perhaps miles
away, but that he is somewhere close
at hand, most likely in the back yard.

1t seems probable that the list of
seedIess fruits will be materially length
ened, provided our experimental horti-
culturists make use of the material at
their command. The common fruits
which have very few or no seeds are
the banana, pineapple and certain
oranges Others mentioned by Mr.
Darwin as well known are the bread
fruit, pomegranate, azarole or Neapol-
itan medlar and date palms.
In commenting upon these fruits, Mr.
Darwin says that most horticulturists
''look at the great size and anomalous
development of the fruit as the cause
and sterility as the result" but he
holds the opposite view as more proba-
ble--that is, that the sterility, coming
about gradually, leaves free for other
growth the abundant supply Of build
ing material which the forming seed
would otherwise have.
He admits, however, that there is
an antagonism between the two forms
of reproduction, by seeds and by buds,
when either is carried to an extreme
degree, which is independent of any in

TENNY is OUT.
The Swayback Pulls Up Lame
After q Trial.

NEW YoRK, April 1S.-D.T. Pulsifer's
game race horse Tenny, by Rayon dor
out of Belle of haywood by Hunters
Lexington, the fayorite for both the
Brooklyn and Suburban handicaps. is
out of training for the present. The
horse worked slow mile in little less
than two minutes Thursday and pulled
up Irifie lame in the off hind leg. On
Friday he was still sore, the trouble be-
ing IN the cOronet, and Trainer Snip
Donovan knew that his hopes of win
ming either of the big handicaps
were blasted. Since then the great five
year-old has been on the track but
twice, trOtting slowly once around the
circuit on the first occasion and twice
around yesterday morning. Tenny has
hardly disappeared from the turf for
ever. There is no doubt about his not
being seen at GraveSend or Morris Park
nor yet at SheepShead Bay, but the
chances are greatly in favor Of Tennv's
racing during the Monmouth meeting,
and 1t would be good betting at even
money that he will face the starter be-
fore the close of 1891. The trouble IS an
old one and first showed itself in 1889.

VINO saw the race that Tenny faltered at
the haystack and dropped back in the
most unaccOuntable fashion, having
twisted one of his plates. and it must
have wrenched the coronet, for he
showed lame after the race, and was re-
tired for the year. He came out as fast
as lion and as sound as a hickory whip
last spring, and at Morris Park was in
vlnclble. carrying all kinds OF weights.
and running on all sorts of tracks. In
the Labor Day stakes at Sheepshead
Bay,ln the autumn, he once more pulled
up lame. Thursday last Tenny went
lame for the third time. Money bet on
Jenny for the Brooklyn or Suburban
handicap is so much fat for the book
makers, as Mr.. Pulsifer has announced
that the fye-year-old is out of both
events.
Mr.. Pulsifer will not be without a
representative in the BROOKLYN handi-

"A Horse Thief Hobs His WouId-Be

Kansas City Star.

living at Lees Summit, was driving III
CasS county, about four miles west of
HarriSonville, yesterday morning, when
he passed man driving horse and
cart. SOmeTS recognized the horse and
cart as property that had been described
as stolen, and as reward of $50 had
been offered by the Anti-HOrSe THIEF
association for the capture of the man
or the property, Somers determined to
do some capturing. He stopped at a
farmers house and endeavored to Dor
row gun. The farmer did not have
one, but Joined Somers. and the two
drove on 10 the next farm. Here they
also failed to get gun, and driving on
they met the man in the road endeayor-
ing to sell the horse TO another farmer.
There being three of them, they felt
bold, and the farmer with SomerS spoke
up and told the horse thief that he might
as well surrender. At this the thief
laughed loud and long, Drawing large,
old-fashioned Colts revolver from his
pocket, he commanded Somers and the
farmer with him TO get out of Somers'
twO-horse wagon and then made the
three men lie down with faces to the
ground and abo Ut ten feet from each
other. He then proceeded to search
them. lie found nothing in the farmers
pockets, but took silver watch, $3.50
i'll money. several society badges and
other small articles from Somers. got
into Somers' rig and drove away.
SomerS and the farmers then got up.
The thief had left the horse and cart,
but the horse ran away, and Somers
and Farmer No l, who went after it. did
not catch it until it had broken the cart
to pieces. Then they walked into Lees
Summit leading the stolen horse MIR.
SomerS had started to capture.
A posse from Lees Summit spent
last night in searching for the thief,
but did not find him. This morning,
however, Mr.. Somers' horse walked
home with the wagon in good condition.
1t is supposed the thief turned them
loose to avoid being caught. and came
to Kansas City on foot. He is de-
scribed as man about twenty-six years
old, 5 feet inches high, medium build,
with light mustache. dark clothes and

NELSON RULED OFF.
The Horseman and His Equine
Namesake Have Two Barriers.


Namesake Have Two Barriers.
AT this time Nelson and his equine
namesake, with his record of 2:10sl, are
ruled off all around, and the former
knows it and denies that he has ever
stated that Nelson will trot ON Ameri-
can association tracks this year. Pres
ident ID. c. Beamah, of the American
association, also straightens the case
out, in his way, by letter declaring
that c. II. Nelson, having been eX-
PEELED for fraud by the National Trot-
ting association, is disqualified from
competing on American association
tracks. The law is self enforcing and
can only be removed temporarily by the
president of the association or perman-
emily by the board of appeals. No such
application has been made, yet there
are side signs which lead weIl-posted
authorities to believe that Nelson and
his horse will be seen on Western tracks
certainly. and perhaps on Eastern
courses this year.
The National Trotting association is
expected to line and reinState both man
and horse. and if it does Judge Beaman
outlines the associations course by
writing: whether, i'll the event that
the national association should, in vio-
lation of its own bylaws, attempt to re-
move an expulsion for fraud, such action
would operate to reinstate. on American
association tracks, is question which,
so far as i know, has never been decided
by this association"
The Nelson case is of deep interest to
all trotting horse men. Oddly enough,
the Maine breeders have elected Nelson
as one of the delegates to the breeders
convention at Chicago, April %. With
him is associated ex-Gov. DR.. A. M. Gar
celOn. The convention that elected
Nelson thought that the chances were
that "Nelson would not be received"

NEW YORK, April 19.-Inspector
Byrnes evinced no desire to withdraw
any of the statements credited to him

take advantage Of every available means
TO suppress it.
I'm reference to my statements re-
hecting upon the Dryers, l reiterate
them now, and say more, that these
men are no more entitled to respect or
consideration than any other horsemen
who pose as patrons of such institutions
as the Guttenburg race track. Plenty
of evidence can be obtained to prove
that they are nothing less than racing
Sharps. ready to put up any kind of
job that will serve to enrich them at the
expense of too contiding public. They

est OF promoting honest sport, but
rather to swindle the people who bet
money. There is not prominent pool
room keeper in this city who has not

them to filch money from trusting bet
tors. l still contend that under the
provisions of the Ives pool bill betting
on races anywhere except on the race

the locality of the performance ard the
breeding of the yOungster caused more
than ordinary attention to be directed
to it. The pacing colts name was Ed
Rosewater, and he was an entire son of
Vasco, dam Mary b, by Vince. He
was bred and owned in Omaha, and
named after the veteran editor of the
Bee of that city. Ed Rosewater didn't
train on in 1889. He had only one
race that year, winning it IN straight
heats, the best of which was in 2::29.
Last year he had six races at the
pacing gait and won two. Grants
Abdallah beat him bruising four-heat
race at Independence. To-, in August,
Rosewater winning the first heat in
2:2l1I, and being beaten in 2:204 ,2:1S%
and 2:19. Then he fell off form until
September, when he was second three
times at Dubuque, To-, to the phenOme-
nal red and branded pony PAGER b B,
in 2:2614, 2:1915 and 80. Later he won
heat in 2:25 at Council Bluffs, but was
distanced in the second. His pacing
performance and gait grew worse as he
went along, and it was determined to
convert him. Secretary Nat Brown, of
Union Park, Omaha, was here few
days ago and SAID that Ed Rosewater's
conversion to the trotting gait had
been accomplished very easily and by a
little work with the hobbies. The colt.
now four years old, will be entered
early in the green trotting classes. He
is said to be much smoother of gait than
he was when going from one side to the
other, and almost as fast.

Strange Story of an Italian Sculp-

Strange Story of an Italian SCulp-

Spokane Spokesman.
Strange thing, indeed" said Theo
Hansen to little group of smokers in
the lobby of the Spokane last night.
whats that, Hansen?" spoke up one
of the group.
1--WE buried an old Italian last week
down on the Columbia. who died. well,
of starvation, we all think. About fif-
teen years ago Acoino Demineck and
his wife, fresh from Italy, arrived
in our section and selected spot in the
ragged cliffs of the Columbia range,
where they made their home. For some
time he followed trapping and hunting
for livelihood, but when game grew
scarce, as civilization advanced, he
branched off into farming, which he
followed up to three years ago.
Deminick was sculptor of rare abil-
ity. One day when in the mountains
after long search he came across a
square of marble. Taking it to his
home he began the work of all imagin-
airy form-the form of woman. For
eighteen months he worked away at
odd times until the stone began to as
sumo the proportions he desired. This
far along he became more attentive to
his work, and the features, one at a
time, were soon made to stand out in
strong resemblance to a living being.
At last the form was finished, aud only
desired the breath of God to be put to
the nostrils TO make it a beautiful type
of woman.
HE had achieved wonderful I'M
dertaking. So attached did he become
to the Shapely piece of stone that he
gave little attention to his wife, and
often would go for days without eating
anything. He became disagreeable, and
three months ago turned his wife out to
go where she might. She came to our
camp one evening aSwe were preparing
supper, and told her sad story. l gave
her permission to stay with US until
something could be done. and she has
never left the house until the day of the
funeral, when she followed the remains
of her husband to the grave.
He had actually devoted so much
time to admiring his idoal form that he
could find no time for his meals, and
consequently died of starvation last
week.
"The stone was placed at the head of
his grave IN a grassy spot on the banks
Of the Columbia. and marks the resting
place of a Pygmalion whose work
would have been a Galatea had it
