THE CONTINENTAL CAVALRY RACE,

IT was really test of endurance for the
horse, not the man, and as such it was con-
Quoted in q rather cruel way.-Coiumbts Dis

THE riding race between Berlin and
Vienna proved nothing practical, but still
it's protector, Emperor William, must be
sore TO see that Austrian officers won it,
Buffalo Express.
The race excited Interest more on account
of the test it afforded of physical endurance
OF both men and horses than because of any
practical benefit to result to military
science-N,,V Ort'ans P;cdyu1e.
THE continental military race is on level
with Spanish bull fight. 1t involves merci-
less cruelty to horses. Such exhibitions are
essentially degrading, and do not serve any
useful purpose.-NeU YorE Tribune.
THE society with the long name doesn't
flourish in Germany. Otherwise there
wouldn't be SO many dead horses on the
line of the great ride of the German and
Austrian officers from Berlin to VIENNA

To ride horse s53 miles in three days, in
creasing instead of reducing tho distance
daily, may be pleasant to the rider, but the
poor, overtaxed horse has not the intelli-
;:ence to share in the glory of the feat; he
only knows that he is tired and sore. And
often he dies.-Troy Times.
THE great long race between the
Austrians and the Germans has been won
by the former If killing horses is regarded
rs sport, there was fine sport in this race.
Why don't tho military sporting men lake

RACES like those in the ride of German and

brutal test OF man and beast endurance,
without comforting any benefit on either as
q result. The human races are always dis
gusted and outraged by such contests
Harrisburg Independe7v.
AS the result of the great European race
we now know that some horses can travel
faster than others, and that their condition
when they start has u great deal to do with
their power to win. In q scientific way
these facts are almost as Important as 1t
would be to announce that America was dis
covered IN u92.- Philadelphia Inquirer.

A CANADIAN teacher went home ant

A CANADIAN teacher went home and
committed suicide after her efforts to con-
troll some bad boys had eliminated in free
fight that resulted in her defeat and the
blackening of her eyes, In her hand was
found an explanation of her despair that
was as pathetic as brief: 'T am tired OF try
ing to teach bad boys" tits doubtful whether
the causes of her utter wearincss would take
the lesson OF her death to heart, for there are
lew beings more callously wanting in chiv-
airy than boys really bad enough to attack
woman. But members OF the School
Board, to which she had made repeated and
futile appeals for assis tance, and OF which
two members had sons among the recalci.

they have shamed their manhood by per-
mitting a woman to be harassed to prema-
ture and violent death.

UNCLE SAM A TRESPASSER.

He Has Been Occupying Strip of Mexican
Territory All These Years.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX. Oct. l0.-P. Carrollo, O
merchant of Fontera, Mexico, which town
was supposed to pe located on the line be
tween Mexico and the United States, arrived
here to-day. He states that the interna tional
boundary survey has been completed some
distance past that place, and that the old
boundary line has been greatly changed.
The Custom House at Fontera was found to
he nearly four miles south OF the line, and
its removal to the line has been ordered.
Several rich mining properties, which for
the past several years lave been orked un-
der the United States mining laws. are in
Mexico, according to the new survey, and
the owners are very much exercised. as it
means heavy loss to them on account of
the duties on the ore, which is smelted in
the United States.

KILLED BY COLD WATER BATHS.
A Follower In Sam SmalPs Footstep,
Found Dead in His Bed.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 10.-[ Special. ]-Walter
Dunstan, one of the best stenographers in
the South, was found dead in his bed this
morning. The immediate cause OF death was
heart failure, and it is said that the failure
of the heart to perform it's function was duo
to the fact that Mr.. DunStan INDUCED too
freely in very cold water baths, morning
and evening.
Mr.. Dunstan ut one time was preacher,
but lately he has not been giving religious
matters much of his attention. He WAS
considered a typical man-about-town. Some
eight or ten years ago, when the two evan
gelists. Sam Small and Sam JONES' came
here Dunstan was engaged to take their
lectures in shorthand. He took great inter.
est in the work, and soon after began to
study for the ministry. being ut length
ordained 4 preacher of the Methodist faith.

THE Lancaster hsteAigen-er, in discussing

US to u1 1.derstand why ballot cannot be got
into 9 space less than Axe feet, even
though the printing has to be done in bre-
vier type and a separate column be given to
each OF half a dozen parties. Inspection of
the official ballot OF September Is, satisfies
us that it could readily be reduced one-half
in size by the curtailment of spacing and
ruling, and we have no doubt that the 4x2
ballot can be printed on half the paper.
And It must be done. It is sheer folly to
talk OF handing out to the voter Il ballot of
the size proposed. He wonld be justified in
booting the man who would hand it to him.
1t is a ridiculous ballot and should be
promptly raced even ut the risk of vio-

Western Roads to Boldly Defy the Inter-
SiaIa Commerce Law.


state Commerce Law.
KANSAS CRY. Mo. Nov. a3.-The
committee of the general managers OF
the Western roads which was ap-
pointed some time ago to draw mp o
new agreement TO take the place OF
the Western traffic association has
finally agreed .;pon a re-
port which it will submit.
The new agreement provides
for money pool and the roads that
enter it will violate the anti-pooling
section of the interstate commerce
law. However. the roads have made
uptheir minds to violate that section as
they violate others, and the plan OF
the committee will probably be adopt
ed with some slight changes.
The new agreement is to date from
the first day of January, 1893. to the
first day of July, 1898, subject there
after to thirty days notice of desire to
amend or withdraw from it. The only
point in the proposed agreement which
has not yet been decided upon is just
how the board of arbitration shall be
named. The board will depend upon
the percentage of business that each
line shall receive. and its selection is 9
most important matter.

As she reached the spot where the
BarkcrS' house had stood. she looked
about her in u half-dazed and bewil-
dcrcd manner. 1t was nowhere to bo
seen. An exclamation of surprise es-
capped her, and her heart was oppressed
with a vague and indefinable solicitude.
In the place of the narrow, somber
building which she remembered there,
wss Il large and imposing building sew
cral stories in height with lofty grated
windows on the ground floor. On the
top of the structure there was lantern
tower from which waved flag bearing
the initials ii. w. Over the door there
was sign lcttered in gold as follows:
Harris Waddington & Co."
Molly thought she must be mistaken.
She glanced to the right and to the left.
No, this was the spot, on the corner of
Fleet street. where she had come to see
Kate Barker. She passed her hand over
her eyes. A strange and mysterious
presentiment flashed upon her She
was powerless to explain her own feel
ings. The offices of Iollister Sc 20.
brought them plainly in view. Her
first thought was to go there. But no,
she would stop on her way back, after
she had had the interview with Zach
French's family. Her intention was to
+ get the sailors address at the Office Of
the steam launches near the landing.
With throbbing heart, bewildered
mind and restless eyes Molly hurried
along. She now began to scan the
faces of the people she met, and an al
most irresistible inclination came over
her to accost some of them, to question,
to ask them-what? They would have
j taken her for lunatic. And in fact
tswas she quite sure that her reason had
mot fled for second time? Could it be
athat there were gaps in her memory?
few steps farther and Molly had
reached the office of the steam launches,
one of which was just casting off and
heading for Point Iona. Molly fol-
lowed it with her eyes, listening to the
steam escaping in puffs from the black
smokestack.
What sad recollections rose in heI
mind, recollections of her child, whose
little body the waters had been unwill
ing to surrender. These waters drew
4 her towards them with strange fasci
nation. 1t grew dark before her eyes
the ground seemed to yield beneath he'
feet A vertigo seized her, she wa.
upon the point of falling. Making &
great effort she turned and entered the
office.
Upon catching sight of this woman
with the blanched face and contracted
features the man in charge who wa.
sitting at a table rose quickly anl
placed chair for her.
Are you ill, MADAME" he inquired.
''Oh, no, it's nothing, SIR" replied
