Louisa and the Yale Students,

On the high stand that ran along the
fence directly to the rear of the coaches
during the football game the other day,
says the New York Sun, there sat a
young woman with checks of Harvard
crimson, and one OF those hats viii h
the women Of the day affect. She was
altogether very pretty creature, and
she was absorbed in the play. Her
name was Louisa, and it was not long
before the big crowd in her
neighborhood found it out. Immedi-
ately behind her sat a bunch OF Yale
freshmen, who took no pains to conceal
the fact that they had scarcely passed a
year at college. One of their number
evidently knew the fair young damseI
in front, for he turned around to his
comrades and said: "Why, there's
Louisa" Then the whole body Of
freshmen, whose voices apparently had
not been impaired by their three hours
steady bowling, shouted out in chorus
of excellent unison: Louisa! ON I!
Louisa" The young woman turned
quickly around, the gang of Yale fresh
men arose like one man, and taking
off their hats with much gravity,
made a sedate bow. Then they
all said, ''Ah!' as if greatly
refreshed, and sat down again. The

herself, and once more turned around

JUST LIKE A WOMAN.
She Forgot Her Ticket in Her
Anxiety About Her Pug.

Anxiety About Her Pug.
A young woman got on the train at
Pontiac with pug dog which showed
considerable reluctance to travel.
Don't lose Don!" shouted her friends
from the platform.
The train was moving off, but more
good byes were waited to the pug, who
snarled and showed the whites of his
eyes. and objected to going INTO the car.
But one passenger pulled him in at
the fore, and another pushed on him
aft, and the young woman ''dearied''
and cooed over him, and he was finally
landed, sulky and stiff, in a seat in the
draWlng-rOom car.
When the conductor came around he
saw the dog. If there is any one thing
conductor hates more than another it
is pug dog.
That animal must go into the bag

Then L will go With him." answered
the young woman decidedly.

dog, felt in her pocket and began to
look troubled. Then she examined her
satchel.

Her distress amused the passengers,
who mistook the cause of 1t.
''Anything the matter with the dog?'
asked an old traveller in the seat behind
her.
"Open the window and give him air, /"
suggested another.
Still clasping her pet the young wo-
man got off at the first station to return
to Pontiac, while the conductor scolded
about women losing their pocketbooks.
and the Juvenile passengers called after
her:

The Western Horseman has it that
the low record craze is likely to work an
injury to the trotting horse interest i'll
the long run. The legitimate uses of
the light harness horse are his road
qualities and his attractiveness as a
practical race horse. For neither of
these uses would the two-minute trot-
ter be more valuable, in realitv, than a
2:15 horse. In fact. a 2:90 gait is about
as fast as any one wants to ride on the

world over, are the relatively slower
classes. Extreme speed cheapens even

STEINER,S CATCH.
Some Facts About the Oshkosh
"Ringers.''


The following from the New York
Sportsman touches an Interesting sub
ject:
The law against ringing has been
adopted in the state of Wisconsin, and
already two notorious offenders are in
the tolls, and it is to be hoped that they
may be convicted. The men are w. J.
Officer, of Minnesota, and a man called
Red Clarity, of Oshkosh, Wis. AS we
understand the case from the inveStiga-
tion pursued by the American Trottng
association Officer furnished the money
to buy the horses. and Clarity did the
driving. II is alleged that they won
about 5000 in purses. aside from the
pool-boX, and all over American associa-
ton tracks. What their depredations
were over National association tracks
has not been disclosed.
The horses used by the men were
three in number. One was j. r.,
brown gelding, five years old. by Rich
ards Elector, with record of 2:24,
made as a three-year-old in California
in 1899. He was trotted over the tracks
IN slow classes in Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Michigan. Another, Allorita, is
chestnut mare. 2:26M, by Altoona, who
made her record in Marysville, Cal, IN
1881. she maze the TOUR OF the same
states as Lena H. San Diego, a chest
nut pacing gelding with record of
2:21, made in Sacramento, Cal, in 1888,
posed as Captain 0. The horses were
purchased from Byron Holly, of Vallejo.
Cal. who was recently ruled off for
fraud.
Officer is superintendent of mine at
Ishpeming, Mich, and the horses were
handled by Clarity, a skillful driver
with a reputation for irregular work.
Secretary Steiner enacted the role of
detective with marked success. Re-
Gently he had an interview with Officer
and Clarity in Oshkosh. He told them
all he knew, and his knowledge covered
the case thoroughly. Officer was about
to make clean breast OF it when
lawyer told him to keep still, that it
was penal OffenSe. That stopped tire
confession and since then Officer has
been as silent as a clam.
When asked for $1,000 that the ring
ers"'had won from the American assO-
citation tracks Clarity said that he had
received the money, but that lie had
paid it over to Officer. That individual
said that he had received the money,
but refused to pay it over, with the re-
mark that he would not pay it until he
was found guilty. Officer, since his ar
rest, has sold j. r. and San Diego to
JoSslyn d CarrotherS, of Milwaukee, re-
ceivng $500 for the former and $1,000
for the latter. Allorlta or Lena Ii is
said to have passed into the hands of
Gov. Merriam, of Minnesota.

"TIN CUP" RECORDS.
A Group of Opinions Touching
Their Value.

The war for and against the time, or
what is popularity known as ''tin cup
records. continues from time to time,
and loses no interest or force from the
temporary cessation. There is much to
say, and much has been said, on either
side, and the matter remains right
where it was in the beginning The
claim that time record where the
horse is specially fitted and time,
place and all other adjuncts are just at
their best, is not comparable with a
record made by the same or another
horse in real struggle against other
horses, where each takes the fortune of
war, and no advantage given, is SEEM
ingly we'll founded. However, the race
record men are wrong in going further,
and stating that the time record is an
injustice TO their horses which have
made their records in real contests in
that it puts the former OH all equality
with the latter. True, both have rec
ords, and possibly equal records, but
the general public would make no mis-
take in Judging the actual value of
same, and. after all, the general public
makes few, if any. mistakes.

Bland, of the house committee on com
age, is out of the city. and his exact
views could not be obtained. but he is
quoted by his colleagues as being OPP
posed to any delay in silver legislation.
Several other prominents Democrats
were seen: tonight. however. who.
while they refrained from extended
statements OF their views, declared
their opposition to the proposed bill.
II am opposed to that proposition"
said Representative Culberson, OF
Texas, land believe it is betrayal
of the interests of the people of this
country to the money power of New
York and New England. The object of
it Is to make way for platform to fit
some Eastern man who aspires to the
presidency"
Congressman TarSney, Of Missouri, is
likewise opposed to the plan. Il think"

great many years ago, said the best
way to resume IS to resume l think

ton IL to settle it, 1t is living issue,

ssLike BanquO's Ghost,
lit will not down. We have got to face
it, and any bill which proposes to rele-
gate it to an international congress is
but subterfuge designed to keep it out
OF the coming campaign. At least that
is my opinion. The people of this
country do not need any more educa-
ton upon this subject. They know
what they want. think the best thing
to do is to pass free coinage bill and
send it to the president; then, If the
president vetoes it. let him take the re-
sponsibility. In my present opinion, l
should oppose the international con-
gress."
Il think" said Senator Chiffon, of
Texas, that such proposition is
merely temporiZing with the question:,
and that it would do no good. The only
manly and effective method OF dealing
with the silver question is to pass All
unlimited coinage law and put it to the
test of experience. That, think, would
