GOV. sTEELE's VALIsE.

Years Since

THAT'S a very shabby-leoking valise,
but L think great deal of it, said Gov.
George w. Steele. ofsOklahoma, at the
Grand Pacific, pointing to black leath-
er bag with which the porter had just
started for the governors room. The
"bag"-as the English tourists call a
valise-was not handsome. Originally
black, the gloss and polish had been
worn off or knocked off by violent con-
tact with many railway car seat and
many a hOtel-rCOm floor. From one
side of this continent to the other it had
jOurneyed back and forth many a time.
And now it was not pretty. There were
lamentations in the stout leather sides
as if some enviOuS baggage SmaSher had
tried to kick its ribs in.

EDISON IN HIS WORKSHOP.
The Great Inventor in a Checked
Apron Buttoned to His Chin.
nrn irn,r rrnrrol..s. II.

Apron Buttoned to His Chin.
Brakes Travellers Magazine.
When the inventor is experimenting
he dons long frock of checked ging-
ham, which buttons close to the chin
and reaches to the heels. 1t is nothing
more or less than mans Mother Hub
bard, which he puts ON to protect his
clothes from dust and &C ids and oils.
Arrayed in this, he goes around from
room to room in the great laboratory,
overseeing the different experiments
that his assistants are conducting. He
has the same little Stoop at his hips
that ploughmen acquire. but he walks
rapidly.
Mr.. Edison has turned out more in
yentions every month during the last
fifteen years than most men discover i'm
lifetime.
Mr.. Edison is like electricity itself
No one can tell what he will do next.
At one time he will take a fad in his
head that some work must be done
nights. Then he will tell the experi-
menters they are a lazy lot of chaps.
and it's got to stop. He will order them
TO report early in the evening, and the
chances are they'll sit around all night
and do little or nothing. By the third
night they will do nothing at all, except
eat lunch and tell funny stories. ana
then the bit of energy and the scheme
of night work will have died natural
deaths.
When Mr.. Edison was in Paris last
summer, dong the exposition, one news
paper, the Temps. in an appreciative
article regarding him, gave voice to the
disappointment which that great mans
unsclentlhc appearance must give to
every one who believes that science
must wear top hat, gig lamps, long
hair and look or profound fhought
Mr.. Edison is mot surrounded nv "a.
wants and men in spectacles, but Inv
quite gay and joyous band of voung
fellows in soft felt hats, like himself
who look like bank clerks out for a hol,
iday."
About Orange you can hear number
less stories of Edison. Everybody likes
him. One man who had for wears been
in his employ as an experimentaIist told
OF visit number of men-Jay Gould.
Sidney Dillon, Cyrus Field and others
Pald 10 Edison at the laboratory one day.
Eolson came QUITO n S workroOm. where
he was BUSY, and shook hands with M
Field. AT thatinstant something p opped
into his head apropoS OF the experiment
he was at work on. He never gives an
idea time to escape him. Without
word of excuse to the magnates, he
turned on his heel and hurried into his
den again. They waited and waited,
and by and by, tired out with delay,
wendell their way down stairs. Shortly
after Edison came out and asked:
Where did those pau pers go?"
"DOwn stairs"
Did they walk?'
"Yes."
'That's right. 1 don't want 'em to
wear the oil off my elevator"
Then he stood around and told stories
to his men. He is a great man for
stories, and it is tradition among his
employees that they can tell him the
same story every day for week and he
will never tire of it, nor, in fact, show
any sign of having heard it before.

naturally vicious, which is rarely the

Before being hitched in any wheeled
gig he should be taught to draw by
the whiffietrees and to draw many
things of which he is likely to
be atterward afraid. He should be ac-
cuStomed to wild sights, like buffalo
robes, open umbrellas. blanketed

Three Of the richest stakes of the
year, the Lorillard, Junior Champion
and Great Eclipse were won by the sta
bic, and the average worth Of the vic
tories gained is something astonishing,
only seven wins putting $40, $50 to Mr..
Days credit.
1t was unfortunate, perhaps, that the
climatic conditions proved unfavorable
to getting the costly imported colt, In
verness, i'll order to race, since the form
he displayed in England as a two-year-
old makes it appear probable that he
would have won a large sum as a three
year-old here among the very moderate

VALPARAISO. Nov. 2S.-The Amer
lean war vessel Yorktown is an object
of considerable curiosity, and crowds
from the vicinity of Valparaiso are Wis
iting the harbor to see the new arrival.
The Baltimore men are delighted to be
relieved of their Isolated condition, and
now feel, some of them say, as if they
were not afraid of anything the Chilians
might do. The American uniform
ashore is treated with more respect than
ever, and the Gillian police are rather
Over-oflclous in seeing that American
sailors are not annoyed. The latter, by
special orders from their officers, are
careful to have as little contact as pos
sible with the Chilians. All appear to
be in doubt as to the future. and no
formal verdict has yet been rendered
by the judge of the court of crimes as o
the killing of the Baltimore sailors.

AMONG The HORSES.
Breeding of Fast Trotters in
It's Relation to Time
and Value.
A Speeder That Cannot Go in
2:20 and Repeat Is Of
Little Use.
Winnings OF Marcus Days
Stable Stars for the
Past Season.
New Stock for Minnesota
Stanford Training--Gen-
eral Notes.

The extent to which the breeding Of
fast trotters has progressed in the last
ten years demonstrates in the most con-
elusive manner that n the present time
horse that cannot trot three or four
heats in 20 is of no possible value as a
campaigner at the large meetings. Not
so many years ago a fairly well-bred
trotter that could beat 2:20 a second and
a half would nave brought more than
$4,000, and in all probability would not
have been driven on the road until she
had finished a career on the turf, for in
those days 2:1S horse that had no rec
ord better than 2:25 would win lot
Of money and be good in her class
fer at least two seasons. Now it
is a sure thing that any horse
training in 2:25 race at large meeting
must beat 2:20 three times in order to
win, and the chances are that there will
be something in the field capable of go
ing one or two miles in 2:17 or better.
There was never time when really
hIgh-class horses commanded as high
prices as now, and at the same time
never before were horses OF ordinary
speed as cheap.
A horse with a record of from BPS to
2:30 whose parents are both in the 2:30
list and who is only fairly we'll bred Will
not bring more than a couple of thou
sand dollars. The great trouble is that
hundreds of colts are kept every year
that have no great breeding and
that. in addition are poor individuals.
There is no question that, as a whole,
the trotting horse market has been
doomed too high, and 1t is surprise TO
many people that instead of the mod
crate drop In prices that has been ex-
perienced there was not complete fall
ing out of the bottom, as at one time it
looked as if people were going crazy on
the prices they would pay for trotting
stations and mares. Fortunately the
loss that must follow the purchase Of
poor goods at high prices will be dis
tributed among thousands, and conse-
quently will not be seriously felt.

MOrnOns.

Referring to the declaration of the
Mormon church, through its president,
in September, 1896, that plural mar
riages are not encouraged nor Solem-
nized by the church, and calling upon
its members 10 refrain from contracting
such marriages, the governor of Utah
inclines to the belief that this action is
sincere, and should be so regarded until
there is reason for thinking otherwise.
The majority of the Utah commission
in their report do not concur in the
views of the governor on this subject.
They doubt the sincerity Of the
Mormon church in its declarations
against polygamy. They refer to the
fact that the Mormon church has de-
nOunced the commission through all the
years it has been administering the
laws of congress directed against polyg
amy, and has strenuously opposed every
effort made, whether through these
laws, the action of the courts, or of the
commission, to put down polygamy,
and express the opinion that while the
declaration of the church may be &C
cepted as a progressive step, it will do
no harm to Utah or to the nation to
wait awhile and see what this sudden
conversion will bring about. Commits
stoner McClernand'S minority report is
also cited, and the proceedings of the
late council of Latter Day Saints set
forth.
