that even the vilest sinner would "some-

tiles and no matter how far any should
wander away they could not hide them
selves from his presence or drift beyond

NEARING PERFECTION.
Secretary Tracy's Entousiasm for a
Noble Animal.

Noble Animal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Secretary Tracy
is quoted as saying: 81 should not be sur
prised if not very far in the future the
trotter will equal If not exceed in
spsed the runner. I shall not be
at all startled to hear at any time
after July 1 next that the two
minute trotter has arrived. The inn
provemet in driving, shoeing, harness,
tracks and eulkies had something to do
with the increased rate of speed within
the past ten years, but in my opinion
not as much as some persons maintain.
Horses years ago, when all the acoes-
SORES were crude, showed marvellous speed
for short distances. With this fact in
mind it must logically follow that the
horse himself is the main factor in the
lowering of records He is nearing per-
fection."
The secretary said stud fees were too
high, and must be lowered. He saw moth
ing to gain in dipping further into
thoroughbred blood. He thought the
fashionable families of to-day would bs.to
large degree the fashionable families of
the future in trotting horse breeding.

Found in a Gravel Pit Near
Cemetery.
KINGSTON, Mass, Dec. 4.-Yesterday
afternoon William Mcguire, employed in
carting gravel from gravel pit near the
rear entrance of Evergreen cemetery, I'M
earthed the skeleton of man which was
buried about four feet beneath the surface.
DR.. Mcguire notified William n. F|aunce,
chairman of the board of selectmen, who
with DIR. Wendall H. Adams went to the
spot, uncovered the bones and made q
careful examination. The bones were
those of person about six feet tall, ap-
parently under fifty years of age. In one
side of the skull was a hole, possibly made
by pistol ball or sharp instrument.
Nothing was found that would assist the
Identification of the remains. This fud
brings to mind the mysterious disappear
ance from this town, more than half a
century ago, of man named Jones.
Rumor says that Jones was engaged in a
bitter quarrel with another man in this
town, bnt his disappearance has never
been satisfactorily explained. Some think
the bones are those of an Indian. Fur
| Their investigation will be made to morrow.
