SUNOL.
Senator Stanford Believes She Will
Lower the Worlds Record

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. = Bonner is
right" said Senator Stanford this even
ing. 'Sunol has trotted quarters as low
down as % seconds, and before the COM
ing summer closes will, under favorable
circumstances, trot mile in close to 2:06.
My belief is that the time will prove
about the lowest limit which any horse
will ever be able to achieve at trot. 1 al
most despair her being able to breed an
other animal capable of such extreme
flights of speed.
when in New York few days since
Bonner and myself held consultation as
to Sunol's immediate future. We agreed
that on the whole it would be wise to give
Marvin chance to lower her record, and
bring her to Bonner's private stable. The
programme thus decided upon will be
carried out, and in early autumn Bonner
will handle the reins over her in person.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT,
Congress Officially Informed of the
Generals Death.

Generals Death.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-The President
this afternoon sent the following message
to Congress:
''The death Of William Tecumseh Sher-
man, which took place to-day at his resi-
dence in New York, is an event that will
bring sorrow to the heart Of every patri-
otic citizen. No living American was
so loved and venerated as he. To look
upon his face, to hear his name, was to
have ones love of country intensified.
He served his country, not for fame, not
out off sense of provisional duty, but for
love of the flag and the beneficent civil
institutions of which it was an emblem.
He was an ideal ex-soldier, and shared to
the fullest extent the esprit du corps of
the army, but he cherished the civil in
Stitutions organized under the ConStitu-
ton, and was only a soldier that these
might be perpetuated in undiminished
usefulness and honor.
''He was in nothing an imitator. He
was profound student of military
science and precedent. He drew from
them principles and suggestions and so
adapted them to novel conditions that his
campaigns continue to be the profitable
study of the military profession through
out the world. His genial nature made
MIN the cOlifdue ol every SoluleF Oi lne
great Union army. No presence was so
welcome and inspiring at the camp fire or
the conlmandery as his. His career was
complete; his honors full. He received
from the Government the highest rank
known to our military establishment,
and from the people unstinted gratitude
and love. No word OF mine can add to
his name. His death followed in start
ling quickness that of the Admiral of the
Navy, and it is sad and notable incident
that when the department under which
he served shall have put on its usual en-
blems of mourning, four of the eight Ex-
ecutive Departments viii be simultane-
ously draped in black, and one other has

The General had refused innumeraF6e e
times to become an active member of
Posts in other cities; sayin e that he loved

been one of its charter members, and

1t is expected that the funeral arrange
ments will be, to a certain, extent, made
by Ransom Post, as General Sherman, in
his letter of February 8, 1890, expressly
desired to be laid at rest 10y his old COM

newfoundland and Reciprocity,

ST. JOHN On. F.), Feb. 14.-In the Leg

Of the Opposition, objected to resolutions
recently passed by the House OF Assem-
bly,, on the ground that they virtually ap-
prove an unknown trade convention He
favored reciprocity with the United
States, but wanted documents showing
the terms of the convention. The reso-
lutionS were carried.
The House of Assembly passed an ad-
dress to the Governor, asking him to tel
egraph the resolutions to Lord Knots
ford. There is much anxiety to know
the terms of the trade convention, about
which there is some doubt. The resolu-
tions affirm that the United States

The Rust of Life.

The tissues and organs do not all mature
ut once in man. 1t results that when we
reach mature age our capacity for some
exercises has notably diminished, while
for others it has preserved its complete in
tegrity. At forty-five years the bones and
muscles have lost none of their solidity
and vigor. The aptitude for exercises of
force and bottom continues. But we can
not conclude from this that the man is as
apt in all forms of exercise as he was at
twenty-five.
While the motor apparatus proper is not
sensibly modified in the maturity of life,
particularly if one has kept it by regular
practice. this is not the case with some
other apparatus that begin to decline ear
lier-notably with that for the circulation
of the blood. The heart and the arteries,
in spite of the most rational exercises,
lose with age part of their serviceable-
ness, because they lose some of their nor
nal structure.
After thirty-five years Of age we recog-
nize even in conditions of perfect health, a
tendency to sclerosis, defect in nutrition
that lessons the suppleness of the vessels
and causes them to lose part of their
elastic force This change, which goes on
with increasing age, has received the pic
turesaue designation of the trust of life"

Nestor Roqueplan was the director of the
Opera Comique he was handed the card of
a gentleman whom he did not know from
Adam and who had called five and twenty
times. The visitor was admitted, and very
politely but persistenply claimed his free
passes. which had been suppressed. His
grandfather had an opera performed in
1893. Roqueplan asked the visitor TO hum
an air of said opera. The young fellow
could not comply with the request. well,
