the metropolitan Museum of Art, and Rich

STOCKTON RECORD nEETINGS.
An Investigation by the Breeders
Association.

STOCKTON, Dec. 24-Ex- Mayor Delash-
mutt of Portland, Oregon, member of the
Board of Directors of the National Horse
Breeders Association, Is here to look at
several trotters now at Lodi and also 10
make inquiries about the Stockton record
meetings for Secretary Steiner OF the Breed
ers' Association. This inquiry is part of
the investigation being made regarding the
compliance with the rules of the Breeders
Association. which were laid down for trials
against time. Mr.. Delasbmutt has been
furnished with copies of the advertise
ments OF the meetings and printed reports
of the events, showing the continuances
from day day, all of which are regular.
The only question remaining is in regard
to the compliance with the rule concerning
match races. Tbs rule says that at the
meeting There must be no less than two
regular events purse or stake. one of
which must take place on each day. to
which an entrance fee is paid or subscription
made"
The record meetings were opened with
match races and number were trotted
according TO the rule. SO hoTsemen say.
The association will furnish the Breeders
Association with plenty of evidence show
ing substantial compliance with the rules
and full public notice OF all meetings. which
was evidently the reason for the strict
rUles.

os- hVeis ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
"rhe slowest railroad In the world is the
Arizona and New Mexico" said L. c. Tut
tie, now at the Rieheleu. From Benson
TO Nogales is eighty-eiRht miles, and when
i went over the road the schedule time was
eight hours. The fare was IS so. or 10 cents
a mile. The road was known as the Bur-
TO road and Bill Nye must have had il in
mind when be described a railroad whose
trains wore the cowcatchers behind 10 pre-
vent the cows from entering the coaches
and eating the passengers. The Arizona
and New Mexico could easily make better
time, as the rolling stock is good and the
roadbed not so very bad. but it don't have
to, and railroad seldom DOES ANYTHING
except under compulsion. The Mexican
division, extending from Nogales to Guay-
mas. makes trifie better time. but IL never
overtakes streak of lightning. At least I
never heard Of 1t doing SO.

WAYS OF A BORROWER.
Just One of Many Shrewd Tricks by
Which Some Men Live.

Which Some Men Live.
Boston Herald.
One Of the best agents Of large Boston
house has propensity for spending more
than he earns and borrowing from friends to
keep things moving. During a successful
trip to Springfield he ran short and bor-
rowed from q number of his customers. One
man who loaned him $40 began 10 get anx-
ious about it, and wrote several letters to
him. in care OF the Boston office.
The agent tore them up as fast as he re-
ceiyed them. and consigned the pieces to the
waste basket without thought.
The Springfield man decided to make a
trip 20 Boston and leave an order with one
of the wholesale houses for his line of go DDS.
Before leaving home he determined to call
on the agent with the intention OF collect
ing the $40, but the order was to be given to
another firm.
When he called upon the agent he had
worked himself TO the highest pitch of in
dignation, with the intention of giving free
expression to his opinion of men who bor-
row money and do not return il.
The Springfield man walked into the Office
with fire in his eyes. But it had no effect on
the agent. When he recognized his creditor
he jumped up. grasped his hand, said he
was glad to see him, and inquired about all
the folks.
That's all right" said the Springfield
man, shut will l have to take my money
out IN bluff"
MY dear fellow" said the agent, 81
must confess l. am ashamed OF myself L
received your letters and always laid them
aside. with the intention Of sending the
money that day, but. really. the matte T
always seemed TO slip my mind. l cannot
tell you how badly feel about it. How
much aid l get that timer"
Ten dollars" said the Springfield man,
beginning TO feel that perhaps he had been
a little too hasty.
Ten dollars. yes" said the agent effu-
sively; Just step this way and will get 1t
for YOU" Then going to the bookkeeper
he SAID, Just let Mr.. j have $40, will
you, Fred ?'
The bookkeeper handed over the money
without any trouble and the Springfield man
became very strongly of the opinion that he
favorable estimate OF the agent. His man.
ner changed and after talking awhile the
two became as close friends as ever. The
Springfield man then thought it better to
lead the agent to believe that he had not
come TO the city for the special purpose OF
collecting the SO, and spoke about the
order he wanted dlled. He finally gave IL
to the agent, and went home satisfied that
he had made mistake and atoned for 1t.
In due time the order arrived. With it
came the bill. The Springfield man looked
| it over, and when he reached the last item
opened his eyes very wide. This was the
item:
TO borrowed money....... ............ S1O
The agent had made no explanation to the
bookkeeper, and had allowed matters 10
take their course. The Springfield man now
gets his orders filed elsewhere.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. "a. - Charles
Cramp, president of the III. Cramp
81 Sons Ship aud Engine Building
Company, said to-day, in speak
ing of the contracts for the cruiser Iowa
and the battle-ship Brooklyn, that the dis
patch from Washington stating that the
Secretary Of the Navy had expressed a de-
sire to award the contract for the building
of one of these ships 10 the Union Iron
Works OF San Francisco was incorrect.
81 am not worrying" said Mr.. Cramp,
'for / am sure the contracts for both ships
viii be given to our firm according to law
and right. and l am awaiting with calmness
the formal notice from the department TO
that effect. There has been no delay In
awarding the contracts. 1t has been the
invsriable custom TO lay all bids be-
fore the law officer of the Navy De-
partment. who investigates them, and the
result of his labOrs is placed before the Sec
rotary. This generally requires two weeks.
We are not agitated concerning the matter,
and neither does the Secretary appear to be
worrying himself about it. Mr.. Tracy being
a thorough lawyer, will know exactly what
to do. and we are content 10 leave the matter
ia his hands"

BACKING AND FILLING.
McAuliffe Is Very Much Like Ali the
Other PriZe.EiVhterS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-"Jack McAuliffe,
light weight champion, attached his sigma
ture to document late tonight" says an
authority on sporting matters, that
is supposed to be the final articles
of agreement to be signed by the champion
and Dick Burge Of England, but in reality
they are not worth the paper they are
written on so far as contract is concerned.
There was same lively discussion between
Newton and McAuliffe before the latter
signed. McAuliffe demanded that Burge
should post a forfeit OF $4,000 10 guarantee
his appearance, and to be down to the stipu-
lated weight, 133 pounds.
Newton said this would be satisfactory,
but he said that Burga must be present to
agree to such terms, and he did not think
that Burge would be satisfied.
Mac wanted Newton to have this stipula-
ton put in the articles and he also wanted
the fight to take place between March q
and April 3. Then occurred a lively spat
and the result was that Newton threw down
his pen and refused point blank to complete
the contract.

There are at least 1000 men already in the

The weather Is cold. provisions are

Talking Of patent medicines

Talking Of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors some Of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lleve IN patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
everything and so, between
the experiments of doctors.
and the experiments Of patent
medicines that are sold onlv
because there's money in the
stuff, you lose faith in svsyy-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds

ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
