that Carey had won the 100 yards in 10 1-5
seconds the crowd went almost wild with
excitement, and he was voted to be the
fastest sprinter that ever ran in England.
There were eleven entries in the 100 yard
dash, and these were split up into six
heats. The third heat was the most mem-
orable one of the meeting Luther Cary,
Manhattan A. c., literally ran away from
Basan, London Athletic Club, the latter
stopping when he saw he had no chance.
Cary trotted homo in 10 As seconds. The
final gave Cary chance to show his phe-
nomenal speed. He got away like flash,
and, increasing his advantage at every
stride, won with the greatest ease in 10 Is
seconds. The wind was blowing strongly
in the runners teeth, and the track was
very heavy. The American speed cleo
trified all present.

QlS mana ana began MS story
In 1841," he said, II was living in Dun
dee, in Princes street. An old gentleman,
blacksmith, who lived opposite to us,
heard 1 was going to America. He said -
John, you have no reason to go to Amer
lea. You have good property here. Stay
and look after it, can prove that it Is
yours"
This" continued the recluse, agreed
with story which had been in the family
for years. It was to the effect that in 1735
or whereabouts my great-grandmother
whose name I cannot remember, although
I think it was Jannett, owned q large es-
tate in the parish Of Kaiputh. The deed
was peculiar one. It Is said that the
property should always go to the Oldest
daughter in each succeeding family. My
great-grandmother was alone and unpro-
tected. The times was troublous. Her
brother, the Earl or Lord-as he was called
then-of Airlie, had large force of re-
tainerS and soldiers. He was a powerful
noble and able to protect his own. To him
my great-grandmother gave the deed for
safe keeping and, no one claiming it, 1t
has passed from earl to earl.
II had often heard" the old man went
on, this story from people in the parish.
and when the old blacksmith, whose name
was David and who was in 1s41 fully seven
ty-five years old, told me he could prove it,
went with him to lawyer of Cuparan-
gus, named Anderson. To my surprise he
knew about the deed, and said that fol
| half of the property he would fight the
| case for me. But he was poor and so was
| l. We could not raise the necessary EGO
to bring the action, and were forced to
abandon the matter, although from what
the blacksmith said and from records he
got, Anderson had no fear Of the result.
81 had no daughter at that time," con-
tinued the recluse, with a smile, and l
did not expect one, for I had been
thirteen years married and all my
children were boys. So I abandoned the
claim and came to America. I mentioned
the matter once or twice to my daughter
Belle, now Mrs. Callaghan, and when she
heard that lawyers in Scotland were try
| ing to find me she asked me to give her
| lawyers what data had. I have done SO,
and I hear that Mr.. Rabe has gone to
Scotland to ask the Earl Of Airlie for that

OUR CHOIR.
There's Jane Sophia,
And Ann Maria,
With Odediah,
And Jedekiah,
In our choir.


And Jane Sophia soprano sings
So high you'd think her voice had wings
To soar above all earthly thugs,
When she leads of on Sunday;
When Ann Marla's alto choice
Rings out in such harmonious voice
That singers in the church rejoice,
And wish She sing till Monday.
Then Obediah's tenor high
Is unsurpassed beneath the sky;
Just hear him sing "Sweet By and By"
And you will sit and wonder;
While Jedekiah's bass profound
Goes down so low 1t Jars the ground,
And wakes the echoes miles around,
Like distant rolling thunder.
Talk not to us of PATHS fame,
OF Nicolinfs tenor tame..
OF Cary's alto-but name
OF Whitneys ponderous bassol
They sing no moro like Jane Sophia,
And Ann Maria. Obediah,
And Jedekiah in our choir.

MRS. CARRIE BROWN. SHAKESPEARE"
The picture was in the hands Of a friend
Of the murdered woman who would not
permit its publication. The artist made,
however, a mental photograph of it, and
here it is side by side with his sketch OF
the same woman when murdered. He
has taken the liberty Of removing the
blood stains, arranging her hair and
opening her eyes SO that the picture
could be identified by those who saw her
at her best, and knew her as Shake
speare."
Now as to " Frenchy" or Ameer Ben Ali
the exact contrary has taken place. When
the artist made the first sketch it was
after Inspector Byrnes had him confined
for few days. He was clean but haggard,
and there was wild look on his face, like
a Gagged beast. But when he stepped into
court the other day, what an improvement
had been wrought in his features. OF
course there were the same protruding
high cheek bones and the retreating fore
head but an expression Of refinement had
taken the place of the wicked one he wore
when first placed in confinement. AS he
realized fully the terrible charge hanging
over him the agony he must have suffered
since his arrest should have aged him In

1t is the narrowing effect which vicious

" Frenchy from his few weeks confine-

NEARLY all the big strikes that were
inaugurated this year have quoted
down, business has bte1 resumed and it
is understood that mutually satisfactory
settlements have been made between
strikers and employees, bat no one has
given us an idea of the amount of
money and time sacrificed. Both esti-
mated at their face value would show
an aggregate of millions of dollars with
out single sign of even prospective
good resulting. Strikes have ever
borne these Improbable fruits. They
belong legitimately to them, and unless
labor disturbances-which are generally
the outcome of pestilent walking dele
gates-are conducted upon principles
wholly different from those which have
already ruled, will continue to be a
source of heavy loss and damaging de-
moralization.
