Wouldn't Fly Six Miles When n Could Do
the Same Work Easier.
At one of the big sporting events In
Jersey, on Decoration Day, some reporters
used pigeons to transmit their stuff to the
main telegraph Office at Jersey City. It
was race against time to get the news into
the home office In time, and as soon as an
event was over tho result was sent away
attached to a pigeon. The distance from
the scene of the games to the telegraph
Office was about six miles, but there was one
only half as far that the reporters knew
nothing about.
One of the pigeons did, however, and In
stead of speeding away with the others, flew
off alone. He whirled through the open
door of the telegraph station and lighted on
the shoulder of the young woman at the
key. She understood the situation and
sent off his message. Then the pigeon flew
back to the games. The report sent by his
owner beat all the rest. That shows wheth-
er pigeons have any intelligence or not.

InteIligence of Carrier Pigeons.

A carrier pigeon is trained for race with
as much care as is devoted to prize fighter.
They are dieted, exercised and cared for in
much the same way. The result Of this
careful training is very satisfactory. A
greater degree Of speed is attained and in
telligence to a surprising degree is mani
tested by the birds.

A York County Man Finds q Cure for Diar-

Last summer during harvest time man
by the name of Mackay (who is himself
medicine agent for cholera and diarrhoea
remedy, took very severe attack of diar-
rhoea while here. We had no other suitable
medicine in the house, so he said he would
try Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. After taking one dose he
felt great relief, and after taking three doses doses
cured, and has had no attack since. He
says it is the most pleasant medicine to take
and did him more good than anything he
had ever before tried. We can recommend
it as being very good remedy for diarrhoea

portant as the statement of Referee Dunn
If the latter was not aware of Mr.. Kelly's
presence and official capacity he is somewhat
excusable, but it certainly showed his in
competency. If he was aware of Time
keeper Kelly's presence and duties then L
contend that he, Dunn, had no right what
ever to consult anybody else regarding q
question Of time. defy either Dunn or
any other man to deny the force of this con-
tention. 1 am fully persuaded that the
trouble, if such it can be called, was delib-
erately planned with view of saving the
money of those who bet that Kilrain would
not be knocked out. The whole affair is a
disgrace to the Granite Club and is one
more proof of the very questionable charac-
ter of those so-called clubs and of the ma
jority of affairs that take place under their
auspices
He Was Knocked Clean Out.
Regarding the knock out of kilrain, re-
produce the opinion of an eye witness, a
very able judge, and who wrote an account
of the contest for the New York Herald
The eye witness says: "Slavin knocked
Kilrain out. There is not shade of doubt
about that in any impartial mind, in spite
of Referee Jere Dunn's tardy and badly
warped decision that 'Kilrain was beaten,
but not knocked out 1 happehed to be at
