President Harrison has issued his proc
lamation announcing that a treaty of re
ciprocity with Honduras has become oper-
ative. In return for the free admission to
this country of the products of Honduras
the government of that country establishes
a generous free list of manufactured articles
made in the United States. The inclusion
of Honduras has brought within the scope
of reciprocity all the nations and depend
encies of the West Indies and Central and
South America except Venezuela and Co
lumbia, and practically completes the broad
scheme for the extension of the foreign
trade of the United States which the adj
ministration had in view when the McKin-
ley law, with its provision for promoting
reciprocal trade, was enacted

Robert Bonner and His Horses

Finding that he had impaired his
health by years OF close attention to
business. he consulted his physician,
and was advised to try horseback riding.
A saddle horse was purchased, but it
needed only few rides to show him
that the exercise was entirely too viO-
lent. Then driving horse with road
wagon followed, and Mr.. Bonner very
quickly became an expert reinSman.
Discovering, as he soon did, that the
pleasure of driving came from the speed
at which his horses were able to go, he
determined to possess the fastest by the
record that could be bought. AT the
time of his first purchase, made through
Gov. Rice, of Massachusetts, there
were only nineteen in the 2:3O list, and
the great Hambletonian had still to put
even one OH the magic roll. Commo-
dore Vanderbilt and Col. John Harper
were the only really well known bust
ness men who drove fast horses OH the
road for pleasure, so that Mr., Bonner has
been Identified with the light-harness
horse. both OIL the road and on the track,
for almost the entire history of that pro-
duction of skill of the American breeder
His first team could trot in about
three minutes, but this was entirely too
Slow, and he bought the then turf won
ders, Lady Palmer and Flatbush Maid,
driving them soon after the purchase
mile In 2:26, two miles in 5:014. This
time surpassed all previous double-team
performances, and horsemen could hard
ly believe that anything on four legs
could go so fast. No member of royal
family ever held receptions crowded
with such enthusiastic admirers as did
this truly great pair of mares.
/ Being a strict member of the Presby-
terrain church, many unfavorable COM
ments were naturally made on his pur-
chasing such fast horses, but he had
carefully considered the subject in all
its various bearings, and determined
that man could own fast horses as
we'll as belong to the church. He would
own them for the pleasure of driving
them, and would never under any cir
cumstances permit horses belonging to
HIM to be raced for money or other
sources of gain. There were many in
credulous smiles when this statement
was made, as it was considered almost
impossible for man to own such
horses and not trOt them on the track.
The experiment had been tried time
and again. with the invariable result of
the owners finally drifting on the turf.
Not so with this man, whose Scotch
Irish persiStency had enabled him to
conquer tickle fortune. He has steadily
acquired the fastest horses by record as
they came forward, and they have
never been used only for his own pleas
| ure and to crafty personal ambition.
| A parallel of this isolated case, will, in
| all probability, never again occur in the
| history OF the trOtting horse.

the highest place of any regular journal
lst ir this country. The Hon. John e..
New holds the most profitable diplo-
matte position. MIR. Frank Hatton,
once of the Burlington Hawkeye. and
now of the Washington Post, was post
master general. and so was Mr.. j. S.

The Hon. Clayton McMichael, of the

Porter is superintendent of the census,
though as to the rank of that position
and the chances of covering ones self
with honor, there are serious differences
of opinion. 1t is certain that for few
weeks after the figures are published in
each decennial year this official gets
more hearty cursing than any other
man in the government.
The foregoing cases are enough to
show that the newspaper profession is
coming to the front. TO mention all the
cases would be too much, and as TO

A Defense of the Dude.

Everybody is abusing the dude"
said d. K. NiblO, guest at the Laclede.
"NOw, rather like the animal. He is
harmless as kitten and as interesting
as cage Of monkeys. If the dude has
few virtues it must be admitted that he
has few vices. 1t is no offense against
the laws of the land to smoke cigarettes
and Overdress. You never hear of a
dude wrecking bank, robbing a train,
committing murder or shooting out
lights in saloon. His tastes do
not run that way. All that he asks
is to be admired-or rather that the
world take notice of his clothes. He

his glory, takes up position where he

is no harm in him. He has neither
energy nor inclination to get into mis-
chief. He is not TO blame for what he
don't know. God doubtless made him
to subserve some good and wise pur-
pose. and it is no fault of his if the
world has thus far failed to find out
why he was born"

THE FARMER.
Written for the Globe.


Your bread We shall earn by the sweat of
your brow
oh hard-handed sons of toll;
For each furroW you turn, your recompense
be.
The bounteous wealth of the soil.
AS you gather your fruits and garner your
sheaves.
What blessings you dream are in store
For the true-nearted wife, who your labor
has shared,
And the children who play round your door.
What visions of comfort with freedom from
care;
CHEEKY fires, when the white snow lies deep.
How peaceful your rest when the wearied
brain seeks:
''Tired Natures restorer," sweet sleep.
IT'S dream-stern reality bids you awake,
A robber has entered the fold;
And while you have slumbered has crept to
your side.
And robbed you Of treasures untold.
Like hound ne pursues you. and strive as
you may,
The monster draws closer his coil;
Until in despair you accede his demands
And yield up the fruits of your toll.
Arise in your might, and while yet there is
time,
Plant your heel on Monopoly's neck:
AS you cherish your home, your wife aud
your babes,
This monster of avarice check.
And when at your feet he lies helpless and
His downfall your comfort assures:
For Plenty shall reign in this bountiful land.
And the wealth of your labor be yours.

HISTORIC DOGS.
One Brave Animal That Recoy.

One Brave Animal That Recoy-
cred a Flag at Austerlitz.
Court Journal.
A French paper has published a roll
of honor of celebrated dogs which have
distinguished themselves in war. This
is not inappropriate, considering that
the dog has been pressed into military
service. For instance, there was Bob,
the mastiff of the Grenadier Guards,
which made the Crimean campaign with
that gallant corps; and also Wbitepaw,
''Patte Blanche" a brave French ally of
Bob, that made the same campaign with
the One Hundred and Sixteenth of the
line, and was wounded in defending the
flag.
Another, Moustache. was entered on
the strength of his regiment as entitled
to grenadier's rationS. The barber of
his company had orders to clip and
comb him once week. This gallant
animal received bayonet thrust at
Marengo and recovered flag at Auster-
litZ. Marshal Lannes had MouStache
decorated with medal attached to
his neckn by a red ribbon. Corps de
Garde, Norvel among dogs, followed a
soldier to Marengo, was wounded at
AusterlltZ and persisted in the retreat
from Russia. The Sixth OF the guard
had military mastiff named Misere,
which wore three white stripes
sewn on his black hair. We
hrve also to name Pompon,
of the Forty-eighth Bedouins, the best
sentry of the baggage train; Loutoute, a
Crimean heroine; Mittrailli, killed at
Inkerman by shell; Moffino, that
saved his master in Russia. and was
lost or lost himself, but found his way
along from Moscow to Milan. his first
dwelling place. The most remarkable,
however, was the last. an English har-
rier named Mustapha. which went into
action with his English comrades at
| FOntenOy, and, we are seriously told,
remained alone by field-piece after
the death of the gunner, his master,
clapped the match to the touchhole of
the cannon and thus killed seventy
soldiers" and it is further added that
| Mustapha was presented to King
George IL. and rewarded with a pension
| alimentam.

Women Who Bet Their Money!

Scenes and Frequenters Of a
Quiet Pool Room in

How Maud, the Dashing
"Tout," Opens Wine for
Her Dupes.
Tough Willie's Good Thing
and How He Pro-
tectS It.

Women who play the races are spe-
cies of individuality peculiar to them
selves. They are to be seen at various
resorts of Dore or less responsibility,
says the New York Recorder, one of the
most frequented of these being the rear
OF the saloon on the northeast corner of
Forty-first street and Seventh avenue.
On the Forty-frst street side is the pro.
verbal Family" and Ladies' En-
trance" 1t leads into an apartment fur
nished with tables and chairs, similar
to the hundreds about the city where
street women meet and drink. Up stairs,
over the saloon, is regular pool
room. similar to the Park row establish
ments and generally crowded from wall
to wall, the ladies" room below being
an adjunct to the operations up stairs.
Every afternoon supposedly respectable
married women and women of more or
less reputation crowd the place. Rae
ing literature and cards of the DAVIS
sport are scattered over the table. The
medium of intercourse with the rooms
above is young fellow of tough aspect
called Willie. He takes the money
from the women, places the bets and
gives them tickets when he happens to
think OF it, He also caShes the winning
tickets, and that is where his fine work
appears.
An Actress Robbed.
Several days ago an actress, who lives
up town, dropped in to play ''tip" that
she had received that morning. She
sent her money up by Willie, telling
him to play the horse ''straight" The
messenger returned her the ticket
marked to 1. If lucky she could win
81 upon an investment OF 50. After the
race was run, and she had collected her
winnings, a male friend appeared, and
she told him what she had played and
what odds she received. Her friend had
just come down stairs. and had won on
the same race. but he had received Z to
l, and that was the lowest point the
betting had reached. Willie had pocket
ed the difference. When called to ac-
count for the remainder of the money
Willie insisted that for l was all he
received. and no further satisfaction
could be had. The actress then gave

EVERYTHING WENT OFF.
Surprising Effect ofCol. Crocker's
Shot at a Jack Rabbit.

ouOt NC u OaCh hdUDlC.
Col. Charles Fred Croker, the rail
road magnate, is fond of hunting, and
when he can spare the time from busi-
ness likes to take his hammerless Parker
and create havoc among the feathered
tribe.
One day last week the colonel deter
mined to get rid of some of the brain
fag. and. taking an assortment of shot
guns and load of ammunition, got into
palace car and went to MERGED. He
robed himself in natty hunting suit of
Lincoln green and got ready for a days
sport on the heather, o!
Z. Nj. StOddard was to take the colonel
into the country where the jack rabbits
were plentiful. In respect to his wealthy
patron, he hitched up the finest team in
the stable, which is kept especially to
draw the only hearse in town. and soon
the colonel was driven out OIL the broad
bosom of the prairie.
A huge jack rabbit, apparently at
tracted by the colonel'S suit, which was
the only green thing to be seen for miles
on the brown prairie, came out of a
clump of Sagebrush, stood on his hind
legs, wagged his long ears and gazed
admiringly at the Nimrod. The colonePs
sporting blood began to course freely
through his veins, and he ordered the
driver to stop his fOaming steeds.
Getting down, the hunter took his
stand in front of the team and slipped
two cartridges into his gun. Assuming
graceful attitude the colonel drew the
gun into position and it Immediately
went off. The rabbit likewise went off
with a surprised look at the hunter.
The horses went off also with a panied
expression and handful of shot in their
breasts. They did not wait to expostu-
late with Mr.. Croker. but ran through
barbed wire fence, cutting themselves
severely and tearing the top off the car
rage and otherwise damaging it. The
driver was unhurt. and succeeded after
a time in calming the frightened ami
mails.
Mr.. Crocker's sport was spoiled for
the day and he returned to town, giving
the driver strict injunction to follow
the example Of the oyster and keep
mum.
Before leaving, the colonel told the
owner of the horses to send in the bill
and he would pay it.
The story leaked out, but the MERGED
people only speak of it in whispers.

Willie the Tough.

Willie was admonished to 'cIose his
trap" The next day the actress and
her friend were there again, the friend
placing the bets. A woman richly
dressed and heavily yelled entered with
well-dreSSed youth. They had a round
of drinks and the woman gave the youth
$40 with which to get up stairs and play
favOrite. Willie, who was watching,
followed him out, tipped him upon the
stairs, dragged him down and kicked
him in the face. Others who saw the
transaction advised the youth to get an
officer and have the messenger arrested,
volunteering to give evidence if neces-
sary. An officer was found, but while
Willie was up stairs one of the women
habitueS called to him not to come down
or he would be ''pulled." Willie stayed
up stairs and the aggrieved pair de
parted.
In several other instances the young
tough, Willie, after cashing ticket, re-
fused to give up more than half Of the
money. There was no redress. This
was Willie's 'good thing" and the secret
of his unwilliugness to brook interior
ence from outsiders.
Women Seen There.
On another occasion married woman
who lives in Fortieth street gave Kin
ney, the proprietor of the place, money
to place on her horse. He took the
money, went into the barroom and re-
turned in minute. The woman's horse
won, and when she asked for her money
Kinney replied that he had placed 1t
upon losing horse. Several women,
regular freQuenters of the establish
woman and called her vile names, which
she now considers she deserved for 60
Ing to such an establishment.
Among the regular attendants are
several espectable-lOoking women.
One, matrenly woman, wore gold
bowed spectacles, and bets 81 at time,
which she pro duces from a bag pinned
in her bosom. There is married
woman from Fortieth street. called
'Mrs. Mac who is quite plunger and
very dorsey"
Maud, the ssTOut.,,
The stout of the place is a dashins
young woman called Maud. She sits at
a table at the window, where she can
hear the results of the races as they are
called, and she repeats them. to stimu-
late the women about her to dispose OF
their money freely. Maud supplies
them with wine. She keeps count of
the bottles. but no one has yet seen her
pay Ior anything. her ups are lnYarla-
bly, disastrous, and, while she bets with
Willie's assistance, she never cashes in.
She laughs at her losses and opens
more wine.
When visited by Recorder reporter
yesterday another feature of the estab.
lishment had been added in the shane
of Il bouncer. He is of herculean build,
and upon very intimate terms with the
tough Willie."
"Joe" German. notorious at Coney
Island, circulates through the room, og-
ling the women and offering his advice.
He claims half-ownership in the estab-
lishment, and assumes all its preroga-
tives.

Connecticut Church.
I New HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct. 22.-No in
stance of alleged miraculous healing
has aroused so much local excitement as
that which, it is asserted. has taken
place at the French Catholic church
here during the past week. About a
fortnight ago there arrived at the
church holy relic, a bit of bone of the
body of st. Ann. 1t was exposed before
the altar of the church week ago, aud
tonight Father Carter, the priest in
charge, announces two wonderful cures.
= One is that of Annie Higgins, four
teen-year-old girl who lives in Brad
ford, and who has been afflicted for a
long time with the hip disease. so badly
that she has been compelled to use
crutches continually. She prayed be-
fore the altar and touched relic, and
the disease left her, according to her
own and the priests statement. Her
crutches were lett at the church. The
other case is that of Mrs. Hannah j.
Kent, of No. 420 Waller avenue, of this
city. She has been subject to chronic
rheumatism for years, and since the ar
rival of the relic has made daily visits

Sheep as Beasts of Burden.

Detroit Free Press.
Sheep are not commonly regarded as
beasts of burden, but in large part of
Northwest India thousands of sheep
carry for many miles the commodities
purchased by the sale of their own
wool. The mountain paths among the
foothills of the Himalayas are so pre-
cipitous that the sheep, more sure-foot-
ed than larger beasts, are preferred as
burden carriers.
The load for each sheep is from six
teen to twenty pounds. The sheep are
driven from village to village with the
wool still growing, and in each town
the farmer shears as much wool as ne
can sell there, and loads the sheep with
the grain which he receives in ex-
change. After his whole flock has been
sheared he turns it toward home, each
