PAT FAILED.
Matte Allen Wins the Fourth
Event Without a Struggle.

Matte Allen Wins the Fourth
Event Without a Struggle.
The fourth event was mile and fifty
yards selling race. Eli Kindig had
been scratched to enter the next race.
This left eight starters. Initials seemed
to be the proper caper, and j T, 20 to
l shot, left a great many admirers in
sad disappointment. Pat Conley, who
had landed a purse so handily Saturday
over Matte Allen. was the favorite at
odds of to l, and Matte Allen came
next at Z to 2. The talent selected
the latter quite largely, although Ed
Leonard was near forgotten at like
odds. A tip had gone out that this was
Red Signs race, and the sure people
rallied to him with vim that frightened
Matte Aliens supporters into hedging
bit. Topstone took the start we'll
under whip, Ed Leonard second by a
nose over Pat Conley, who galloped
under the wire under pull.

A VERY MEA n MAN.
Fremont, o., Suffers From a Citi-
Zen's Cupidity.


TOLEDO. o.. July 27.-FremOnt is a
city of 10000 inhabitants in Northwest
ern Ohio, and tonight is without water
supply. At this season of the year the
city's supply is obtained principally
from the river. A special to the Com
mercial says the water privilege belongs
to man named d. June under an old
lease from the United States govern
ment, and he has been trying to sell this
to the municipality for $4,000. There
has been delay in closing the negOtia-
tions, and in order to compel the city to
accept his terms he has torn away part
of his dam. running the river dry.
There is consequently no fire protection,
families are suffering and factories and
newspaper offices are compelled to shut
down for want of power. The council
has ordered the dam to be rebuilt, but
the order has not been complied with.
Indignant citizens threaten to take the
matter into their own hands, rebuild
the dam and maintain it by force if nee
eSSary. The damages to the business
interests of the place is large.

EDWIN BOOTH FAILING.
The Great Actor Will Die of Ex-
cessive Smoking.

BUzzARDs' BAY, Mass, July o.
There is a well authenticated rumor
here that Edwin Booth is dying from
the effects of too much smoking. Though
he is aware that it is killing him, he
cannot shake off the habit. EX-Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland and Joe Jetfer-
son have striven to reform Mr.. Booth
from this excessive tobacco use, and for
while they probably succeeded, but the
habit had too strong a hold on him, and
his indulgences became more unre-
strained than ever. 1t is because of this
relapse and because he knows he
cannot recover his health that he left
here suddenly Saturday and went to

THE HOT TIP.
w. B. Pleased the Crowd by His
Performance.

ICrIOrluduCSs
The second race proved infinitely
more interesting. The starters included
some of the talents favOriteS, but the
hot tip was w. B., although the locks"
and stable boys pinned their faith to
Hispania, who was going with less
weight than she had previously been
charged. 1t was now that the betting
ring became Seething vortex of ex-
cited and deeply interested people.
Everybody had few dollars to,
speculate with, and the money rolled
into the box as fast as it could
be shoveled. Collie Ferguson was
thought well of by many, but the real
warm choice was w B, the son of Ghu-
garry and Bessie Belle. Then came
Hispania and Hamline, both boasting
the proud HindoO lineage.
The Duchess of Marlborough, a 40 to
! shot, set the pace at the start and
Hamline came second and Callie Fergu-
son third under the wire. The field was
beautifully punched. The Duchess
wasn't in it to stay where she was,
however; Without urging. Porter
sent w B to the front at
ter Hamline. who had in6ifferently
Jagged behind CaIlie Ferguson, smart
ing under Truman's lash, extended him
self and darted after the leaders aad
overhauling the party, split them at
half and showed his heels to w B in a
defiant manner. Callie Ferguson was
now giving w B an inspiriting race. 1t
was neck and neck down the back
stretch between these two, and they
were close on to Hamline, but Porter
sagaciously pulled w Band at the three
quarters Callie Ferguson came for
ward to second place, only to have it
quickly wrested away at the head of
the stretch by w with magnificent
ease. HIspania now showed her colors
for the first time in the mile under whip.
The great OvertOn was up, and he made
a drive for the purse. but Porter was
watching, and " B instantly bent to his
task, and before the paddock gate had
been passed the race was won. HIS
pania, however, succeeded in getting
Callie Ferguson into an adamantine
pocket. and Hamline swept up OH the
side and beat her out for third place.

FOR LAW AND ORDER.

Mass Meeting of Citizens Launch
the New League With a FIouish.
"The Citizens Law and Order league"
was launched at the Newmarket last
evening amid the applause of at least
1000 people, although all that these
people had to do with the launching
was to listen to speeches and say ''aye'
when they were asked whether they in
dorsed the work of the committee in
devising a plan of organization and
selecting the officers of the new society.
There was an elderly tinge about
the audience, which may . account
for the fact that moderation char
acterized nearly all of the speeches.
and the Incorporate speeches did not
excite the loudest applause. The ladies
were out in force, and made up at least
third of the audience. Aside from
Ex-senator Mcmillan, the chairman. K.
K. Dorr Thomas Cochran, Deacon Will

A somewhat unusual catch was made
recently in some salmon nets in Scotland.
The fishermen, on examining the nets at
ebb tide, fround about a score of crows in
side one of the pockets. At low water
the nets are left high and dry, and the
crows, feeding on the sands must have
been attracted by something inside the
nets. Once inside they were unable to
find the exit again, and were drowned
when the water rose.

mess man sits at his desk and simply turns
a faucet when he wants a cup of coffee

piece of pie. The pie will be delivered
in a rubber cylinder, and a meter will be
attached to the coffee pipes, accurately
registering the amount drawn during ths

People Who Can't Get a Pass.

An interesting monthly publication
which can't be bought at any price, but
would make mighty interesting reading
for good many folks, has just reached it's
fortieth number. 1t is issued "for the ex-
elusive use of those persons to whom it is
sent" and lest anybody else should get
hold of copy and begin libel suit the
publisher has omitted to subscribe his
name and address. This publication is
called the "Confidential Memorandum"
and it is issued by the railroads for their
own use 1t contains the names of per
sons blacklisted for misusing pass priv
leges Nineteen of it's pages are devoted
~ blacklisted individuals and seven pages
&c names of papers which have violated
good faith in the matter of passes. The
papers on the list are all weeklies, and in
clude many trade papers and one or two of
religious complexion.
The Confidential Memorandum" does
not mince words. 1t describes a certain
theatrical agent as a sd. b. first water
and boldly calls a citizen of Houston "a
fraud" There are numerous clergymen
on this black list. There is one from ST.
Francis, Mimi, who got there because he
altered and loaned the half fare permits
given him by railroad. Another clergy
man, tnls one from SANTA re, Is charged
with altering his permit so as to include
his wife, and former member of congress
got on the list for loaning his pass, fate
shared by a member of the Ohio legislature
for similar reason. A Missouri clergy
man transferred his pass to another, and a
business man of Wichita, Kan, is on the
list, charged with trying to personate a
passholder. None of these gentlemen will
ever get more favors from any railroad in
the country.-New York Sun.

ATHLETICS AND BRAINS.
Statistics Which Prove that Mentality
Often Allied to Muscle.

Often Allied to Muscle.
To infer that athletics are related
to scholarship as cause to effect would
be unwarranted, writes President
Hyde, Of Bowdcin ir the Forum. But
observation does show conclusively
that excellent physical development
which is an indispensable condition OF
success in athletics, is also a fav-
orable condition of success in
scholarship. 1t explodes the pop
ular fallacy that the mind and
body of the scholar are in inverse pro-
portion, and shows that they stand in
closest correlation. The awards
of the Smyth mathematical prize in
BOwdoin College for the past six
classes present remarkable if not a
representative phenomenon. This
prize of $500 is based On course in
mathematics, extending over two
years, and is the most important COL
lege prize. CT six consecutive recip-
tents of this prize, the first was
the winner of a quarter-mile run,
the second was the pitcher of the
college base ball nine, the third was
the most brilliant performer on the
trapeze, the fourth was a man of good
physical development without special
athletic attachments, the fifth was the
catcher of the college base ball nine
and the best general athlete in col.
lege, the sixth is a candidate for
position on the college boat crew
and will next year be member of the
foot ball eleven.
