Betting on the Races.

In one respect we grow moro English
svery year. The amount of betting that
is done on horse racing in and about New
York is something positively amazing.
Poolrooms are open in the city, under the
pretext OF executing commissions to be
delivered on the track. Upon the chief
racks anywhere from 5000 to $4,000 peo-
pie may be present, and nearly every one
is financially interested in the result.
Women bet perhaps tenth part as much
IS men, and with quite as much skill,
usually. Women usually back the
lavorite, and display no liking for "short
horses"
have not yet come upon the parallel
If the English sporting parson in New
York, but member of a surpliced choir
who looks very much like a parson on
Sundays told me the other day about the
sure system" by which he picked up
several hundred dollars last year.

Mr. HARRISON hes at last, it is said,
braced up his backbone sufficiently to
inform commissioner of Pensions Raum
that he must hand in his resignation as
soon as another man can be found with
some political pull who is willing to
take the place. Raun did the grand
kick act, and has not yet consented to
resign, saying that he prefers being dis
missed; but he'll change his mind.
They all do that way. When Tanner
was asked for his resignation he swore
that he would never write it, but he did
all the same. It's easy to talk about
being kicked, but when the big hob
nailed boot is raised they all get out of
the way if possible.

Admiral ,Braine,s Unluoky Initials.

Not his many years of service on the
salt sea, nor his record as daring fighter
in the civil war, nor his "good gray
head" has availed to save from the funny
men Admiral D. L. Braine, who has just
retired from active service in the United
States Navy. A long time ago some wag,
probably smarting from we'll merited re.
buke, took advantage of the Admiral's
rather unusual family name to hint that
IL written in full his name would be
odd Limited Braine." The name has
stuck, for private consumption, ever
since, in spite of the fact that the Admiral
is really very able man as we'll as
brave one.
There are probably few men who es
cape altogether this use of their names
for a jocular play upon words. Once a
week on an average somebody asks me
how long and how much have been
lowing Langdon," and why he doesn't
try to collect.

A ATovemenr A gainst Mercantile Agencies |
i'm Massachusetts.

a AAovemeue gatnne Mercantile Agencies
in Massachusetts.
BosroN, June The contest over the
Mercantile Agency bill is ono of the most
important matters before the Legislature,
and its whole course has been attended
with much public interest. The history
of the movement this year is well known.
An order was introduced authorizing the
Committee on Mercantile Affairs to con-
slider the expediency of enacting law
making mercantile agencies amendable
to the libel and kindred laws.
The committee reported that such leg
islation was inexpedient. Representa-
tive Mellon, of Worcester, dissented from
the other members of the committee, and
offered substitute bill
The bill at present before the Legisla-
ture is not radical one. Its provisions
are that mercantile agencies shall be
liable for injuries inflicted by false reports
OH the same basis as newspapers and
private individuals, and that their re-
ports be not regarded as privileged COM
munications.
The whole movement is the result Of
the unique position which the mercantile
agencies hold in business circles. Anew
York man who testified made some sworn
charges against agencies in general.
The whole question, as viewed by the
promoters of the bill now before the Leg
islature, is whether the mercantile agen-
cies shall be allowed to proceed in their
business entirely free from legal restraint,
as is now the case. 1t is claimed that
they are now possessed of far too much
power. Their whole work is done in Sc
cret, and a man may be injured without
being able to defend himself or know
from what source the blow was struck.

Is seated it Is generally sufficiently
drawn to one side to reveal the petit
coat.
More becoming than these perfectly
plain skirts are the skirts which have a
ruching around the feet, and which are
thus given a sort of firmness of their
own, removing all possibilities of that
bedraggled appearance, which is apt to
be the trouble with very thin materials
after one or two wearings.
To wear with these India silk skirts,
beautiful blouse waists or plated waists
and even embroidered ones may be
found readymade in the shops and Of
the same material. The skirts cost ten
dollars apiece and the waist about six,
making as beautiful costume as one
could select for q summer day for the
sum of sixteen or seventeen dollars.
Underneath the gown, as has been
said, must be worn very nice undergar-
ments, because the India silk is so dia-
phanous that 1t is apt to show through,
but since every lady has a few sets of
nice underwear In her possession, this
does not add to the expense of the COS
tune, which is thus obtainable at q
small figure.

ARCHBISHOP WALSH, who las re-
turned to Ireland from Rome, publishes
\ long letter in the London and Irish
papers, in justification of the delay of
the Irish hierarchy and priests in con-
demning Parnell. He explains that the
assurances which Parnell was so free in
giving-that he would emerge from thu
divorce proceedings unsullied, and Par
nell's successful manner of meeting the
Pigot charges which the conservatives
tried so hard to fix upon him, justified
people in waiting for the vindication
which he promised his colleagues, even
after the practically one sided divorce
suit was allowed, (as it seemed myster-
iously and unaccountably) to go by de-
fault. Archbishop Walsh wrote on May
18th, declining to reply to Mr. Parnell's
statements.

no petticoat are worn unless the dress

She Says She Cannot Resist the Tempta-
ton to Steal.
CARROLL, Ia, June MANY crimes
are charged to pretty 16-year-old girl,
who is locked up in the county Jail. She
calls herself Katie Faulkner, but
says she is concealing her real name to
shield relatives from disgrace. She says
she was left an orphan when only year
old, and went to live with an uncle.
Her great passion was for money, and,
seeing circular advertising counterfeit
money, she answered it and placed quite
an order. When it came it was sent by ex-
press with $35 charges, and, not having
the money to get the package out of the
Office, she ran away and went to another
uncle, where she stole $50.
After securing the money she went to
Council Bluffs and put up at the best ho-
tel in the city. In short time she left
without paying her board bill, and on ar
irving at Panama she robbed store, Sc
cured a suit of mems clothes, and in this
disguise started for Defiance, where she
was arrested, but was released on condl-
ton that she would reform.
She says she tried hard to keep from
stealing, but she could not resist the
temptation. She says she failed to So
cure the money and jewelry of Mr.. and
Mrs. Yates because they would not lie
still long enough, but if she had had q
revolver they would have lain still long
enough for her.

Cornet Geary's Bones Found.

BENNINGTON, N. J., June THE Hun
terdon County Historical Society is in
high feather. Its members have found
tho grave and exhumed the bones of Cor
net Gea' y, an officer in the British army,
who was shot and killed and buried here
inNd77S. He was shot while making a
raid on an American house with a de-
tachment of English soldiers. 1t was
maintained that his body had been taken
to England, but the historical society has
proved this an error. With the bones
found were several British army uniform
buttons with the initials 80. L. D., 16''
on them, signifying Queens Light ORA
goons, Sixteenth regiment" the COM
mand to which Geary belonged.
