A PHENOMENAL 2-YEAR-OLD.
Portrait and Sketch of Aricn, 2:1O 3-4,

Mr. Yort Sun.

EiectiOneer's Greatest Son.
Mar Yort Sun.
The Sun, in presenting the portrait
of Senator Leland Stanford's great 3
year-old colt Arion, 2:103I, gives the
last of the record-bresking trotters that
have vanGuished Father Time over the
kite-shaped track at Stockton last
month.
In the estimation of Charles Marvin,
who developed and drove the colt TO his
record, and such good judges Of a trot-
ter as Orrin A. Hickok, John a. Gold
smith and Joseph Gavin Simpson,
Aron is the greatest trotter ever
foaled. A few years ago 2-year-old
capable of trotting 4 mile in 2:25 or bet
ter, was hailed as a phenomenon, and
when Sunol took record Of 2:1s at that
age, horsemea thought the length and
breadth of the land were unanimous In
the opinion that her like would never
be seen again during their lives.
Palo Alto, however, had a still great
er surprise in store for the trotting

AMONG THE MILLS.
THE USUAL HOLIDAY STOcS IN NEARLY ALL
THE FACTORIES
Prospects for the Coming Year in The
the Class and Iron and Steel Interests
Local Industrial Items.

The past week closed the season Of
81, which, considered as whole, was
fairly satisfactory one to the indus
trial interests. Workmen have nearly
all been employed continuously, and
they now look forward to the new wear
with bright hopes and cheering pros
poets. When the customary holiday
stop is over aud the annual inventory is
completed, the present indications
point to a resumption Of operations In
nearly every manufacturing plant In
this vicinity.
-
Concerning the prospects for the glass
trade, the Budget says:
The abnormal development In glass
making has been stimulated unduly by
the discovery OF natural gas. Glass fac
tories have been located without num-
Der in towns ali over Ohio aud Indiana
by the offers Of free gas and land. This
great increase Of production has resulted
in very low prices TO consumers, as man.
ufaCturerS have sold lots of all kinds OF
glass without much profit. With the
great growth OF the country the supply
will not equal the demand, aud that the
cause of the glut will have passed away.
We look for good times during the com
ing year in the various branches OF
glass making. At present all branches
are duh save lamp chimneys, which are
still IN active demand.
~
The REGISTER on the lSt inst. pre-
sentei q comprehensive resume Of trade
Turing the past year, and the prospects
Tor improvement during the present
year. Probably the only line OF manu-
facture which made an unsatisfactory
showing was in the iron and steel
trades. During the past twelve months
the price Of some lines Of finished pro-
duct have reached the lowest point in
the history OF the trade. IL is disap-
pointing to learn from manufacturers
that there is no immediate prospect for
betterment, except in certain lines, and
then il is only speculation. Nail manu-
lecturers claim TO be operating merely
to hold their business, as the mills can
not be run prOiitably.

Baltimore is certainly not strong In

While there may be an effort made TO
get Shindle from Baltimare 10 play

that Harde Richardson had been offer

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcH.IN
One of the most celebrated claimants to
the throne of France is just now recalled
BY law suit in the French courts against
one Nauendorf, Dutch officer, who claims
to be, at least so the cables state, the genu-
inc Dauphin or heir to the crown of France,
who disappeared at the time of the Revolu-
tion. II the officer actually claimed to be a
descendant of the son of Louis XVI there
would be something within reason in his
pretensions, but, inasmuch as the Dauphi
was years of age in 1894, the year Of his
disappearance, and then practically half
dead with diseases acquired in prison, the
absurdity of Nauendorff's claims becomes
apparent
However, the agitation cannot fail for
the time being to recall the sad story of
the lost heir to the throne of France, par
ticularly in the country in which he is said
to have found refuge. The little Princes
awful Imprisonment; his disappearance; the
arrival in this country of a family from
described appearance AID condition OF the
child at this time; the miraculous return OF
reasoning powers; his adoption BY Iroquois
Indians, and the later efforts of Prince
Louis PHILIPPE to silence his claim by pur-
chase, are all matters of history, but very
interesting. There are persons liv-
ing to-day who will remember
when, during the '40's, the matter
