The Americans take the first prize, the
Carbuilders the second, the Scandinavi-
ans and Foundryrnen divide the third
and fourth prizes between them, and the
Brewers take the fifth.
After the Americans won last night,
Tom Scott offered to back the Carbuild-
ers against the victors for special match
for $500. Captain Wilder declined, how
ever. He said his men had done enough
pulling for a while; the same men had
pulled in the team every night, while the
other teams were changing their men
constantly, and the Carbuilders could
now put in a comparatively fresh team.
Jack Scroggs, the Americans anchor
man, offered to pull the Carbuilders in
thirty days for $500 a side, aud turn the
receipts over to the Orphan Asylum, but
this offer was declined.
Although the tournament has had
crowded houses, it is an open secret that
the Federated Trades have lost money on
the venture. They blame this to mis-
management of the affair.

DURHAM RECORDER
WEDNE DAY, February II, 1891
PITH OF POLITICS.

Atlanta Constitution: In ev-
cry important act of the Re-
pub'icans during the past few
years they have displayed an
astonishing contempt for the
wishes Of the people. They
have flouted public opinion with
50 mach success that they have
no idea of yielding to it's press
ure. They went too far in the
Mckinley law, and the people
made their desire manifest in a
very healthy way, but no Re-
publican leader has betrayed a
disposition to revise or modify
that law. The people have also
delivered their verdict on the
Force bill, but the Republican
lealers are still viciously anx-
ious to see it put in operations
That this temper and attitude
are very fortunate for the Demo-
Gratis, we have no doubt. The
contest of 1852 is already settled.
Philadelphia Times: If Sem
ator-elect PETER, of Kansas, is
the instigator of the report that
he is to be the Farmers Alli-
ance candidate for President in
1892 he should carefully read
the old spelling book fable Of
the m;lkmaid who counted her
chickens before they were
batched. If he did: not inspire
the report he should call off his
fool friends. The surest way
TO make his Presidential boom
like the humble bee, biggest
when born, is TO begin to pose
as u candidate before he has
done anything TO show that he
has Presidential timber in him.
When Mr.. PETER has shown
that he is a capable Senator III
will be in order for him to place
himself in the hands of his
friends as a Presidential cam
didate.

THE PHYSIOLOGY OF EVIL.
Tendencies to Crime Transmitted from
Parent to Child.

Tendencies to Crime Transmitted from
Parent to Child.
In his curious study of the "Physiol-
ogy of Evil" DR.. Il. w. Richardson de-
clares that the man of science finds two
natural causes of evil in mankind
hereditary and early environment. The
operation of these causes is made con-
spicuous in novel investigation carried
out by Prof. Dugdalc, of New York,
who has been able to trace one criminal
family back to the time of the settle
mcnt of its first members in America.
He has found that from this parent
stock has sprung 1900 descendants
The lives Of 700 of these have been close
ly followed by Prof. Dugdalc, the re-
sult of the investigation showing that
not one of the 700 had escaped the con-
tamination of evil or its consequences.
His researches also show that the
crimes of this one family have, during
the last scvcnty-iivc years, cost the state
of New York 81 100000. Those who are
born bad, however, are not always in
durable. Mr.. Isaac Ashc, president of
the Central Criminal asylum, Dublin,
Ireland, has suggested that inherited
tendencies to crime can be treated in
the young by teaching useful occupa-
tions, which will call into play the fac
ulties exercised in criminal acts Thus,
the child of Il clever forgcr maybe cdu-
Gated into an honest draughtsman; so
may the children of several generations
of picllpocllets be taught clever handi-
work, such as matchmaking or other
work requiring fingers unusually deft
in their movements

Every Man n Magnet.

That the human frame is an excellent
magnet is well known by practical eX-
pcricncc to every matchmaker and deal
or, says Il jcwclcr in the st. Louis
Globc-Democrat. a man will carry n
watch for years and be proud of it's nc
curacy; then he will fall sick, the
watch will lie on the mantcl or on the
dresser and will develop great inaccura-
cy and uprcliability.
No explanation is Forthcoming except
the one that the absence of magnetism
npscts the time announcer, and tic best
proof of this is that when the man gets
around again and carries his watch il
soon gets all right again. No two mon
appear TO have the same magnetism in
their frames, and it is seldom that two
individuals can use the same watch

dealer, and whose awl1wardness was
worthy of an infant camel. Seedy,
broken-down and wretched. he looked

y sudden favorable turn of fortune

from his habitual occupations. This
wise saw is applicable to the case of
t'r present king of Sego, Africa, says
Golden Days, who was put on the throne
of his black kingdom by Col. Archinard.
when his royal predecessor, Ahmadou.
took to flight for his safety.
Madcmba, the present monarch, is Il
native of tho country over which he
rules, but was formerly controller of
telcgraphs ut Senegal.
Before accepting his regal state he
made it Il condition that his name
should continue to be inscribed on the
list of telegraph servitors, and that his
situation of king should be considered
rs subservicnt to that of his original
employment.
Madcmbn must have learned, either
by intuition or from acute observation,
that the lot of a monarch is less certain
in these days than n position of an Of
ficer in the service of the telegraph
company, and SO preferred to keep in
reserve what might one day prove to
OC huPpy ISSUE OUT OF al his lulc-

He has, no doubt, constantly one eye

Matching the stories of valuable and

Tho Charitable Poor.

That the poor arc good to one another
is the silent testimony of the race of
bcggars. Many of the cross streets up
town through which throngs of work
ing people pass to and from their work,
says the New York Sun. are infested
with bcggars in the early morning and
evening hours, and to an incredible OK
tent. These birds of prey, who arc for
the most part bloated, ragged women
whose tattcrs arc rcdolcnt of whisky,
place themselves close to the stoop of
some respectable. dwelling house, and.
crouching against the rail, hold out n
grimy hand which suggests rather than
asks gift. Young girls going to their
work are moved to compassion, and
men feel n supcrstitious repugnancc to
passing an old woman in want, and so
these soddcn, hopeless waits of humani-
ty find it profitable to haunt the places
through which the tide of daily labor
GIBBS and flows most swiftly. In the
matter of charity, the practical diff
ference seems to be that the rich sub
scribe to charitable societies, the poor
give to those poorer than themselves.
But the poor give from their poverty.

Like most wives Of great mon,
Countess Won MoltlSo was devoted to
her brave husbands comfort. During
their travels in Italy the lady went into

hands Mi the food eaten by the old hero,
who would rather face the lannon's
mouth than an Italian meal He was
fond of exhibiting to his friends what he
called his wifc's Italian costumc-.a
gray linen blouse and skirt and an i'm
mensc cotton apron-in which the good
frau spent most of her time in the
