Anronos of Colt Training.

Ten years ago the idea of training a
colt, yearling or twO-year old, would
have been hOoted at iby the practical
horSemen. To-day AriOn holds Il two
year old record of 2:lO34, or nearly as
fast as the great gelding Jay-Eye-
went in the days of his prime; while
several yeaTlings, both mt the trot and
the pace, have carried their names
around the circle of newspaper fame
by going below 2:3O.
But there is danger in carrying this
thing too far; especially in the hands
of those who are not master-machan-
les in the art of conditioning and
training. Even sweanlings are now be-
ING trained to such an extent as to
cause thoughtful men to ask if there
are not TOO many chances, in the
hands of indifferent trainers, OF
breaking the babies up.
ApropOs of this, perhaps the follow
inc amecdOte related to us by our ven
cradle friend, Col. Richard II. Haw-
thorne, of Alabama-Of blessed
memory-a wit, Il gentleman, Il SOL
der, an honest man and philanthropy
list, may be of interest.
The Colonel says his grandfather
was one of the first in his day TO or
ganiZe calvary company in South
Carolina TO harrass the Tories and
British; and as horses were scarce,
more than half of the patriotic band
were mounted on brood mares. 1t
was baImy spring when the war
notes were sounded in HawthOrne's
happy valley and the sOber-minded
brood mares were saddled for the
front.
But what must be done with the
colts? They solved that question
themselves by trotting along content
eddy in the rear. But the day grew
hot, the colts tired, and the old moth
ers grew restless and uneasy, which
caused continual discharge OF
neighing from the mother rank, to be
echoed by the whinnying of the colts
in the rear. The Captain knew but
little of military tactics, but he had
plenty of horse sense and knew that
something had to be done, and rs
everything must be done in military
style he spurred to the front, rose in
his stirrups and Ordered-"halt and
suckle colts!"
In behalf of the colts now being
trained to death, we offer the same
advice.

Plagiarism,

Horse papers should be as careful
as other journals in giving each 9TH
er credit for every thought, fact or
statistic gathered from their brother
Journals. AS sample we call atten
ton to the following:
"No keener, purer joy can he expert
enced in the breeding business than
that which is felt by owners aud
trainers who see the noble qualities
that adoru their steed Visibly and
creditably reflected in his conduct
in company and in speed contests
when merit alone wins. 1t is then
that tue seed of labor puts forth the
flower of reward"
Now we were Just about to credit
this to The American Sportsman,
Cleveland OHIO, OF the 18th; but
picking up our old friend The Tur
Field and Farm OF the 29th, we be-
hold it there too, in all its fragrance
and beauty, and it Will, no doubt, go
on down the circuit.
This ia not right; but it has become
40 lamentably common among horse
and stock and farm journals as to
evidently create no comment No
paper should publish a fact, or argu~
mtut or bon mot Of another without
giving that paper proper credit
Help each other along as you go. We
venture the assertion lnaJ Inc CLIP
ping is from IcOnOclast, OF some other
brainy writer-one who depends on
the paste in his head aud not i'll his
ipaste-Pot, for something to interest
his readers.
But there is one thing to the eternal
credit of most stock journals. AS Il
rule they are freer from all debasing,
immoral and impure sentiments than
any other class of papers or maya
zines. There is not one OF them now
on our table, such rs The Horseman,
CIark's Horse Review, Kentucky
Stock Farm, Breeder and Turfman,
Turf Field aud Farm ,lDunton's Spirit
of The Times, Tennessee Farmer,
Rural New Yorker, Hoard's Dairy
man and that blessed old lady The
Country Gentleman, aud others, that
is not full of pure English, noble sentt-
rnents and clean reading matter in
general. They are cleaner aud bet er
family reading than our big daDies
and half our magazines; purer, be-
cause none OF them have ever init
mated that Alice Mitchell ever lived
or knew q razor from q Whet-stone,
and none of them ever published
such stories as may be seen in nine

METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Second Days Session at the General Com
ference at Omaha.

OMAHA, NEB, May 3.-The second
DAYS session of the general conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
open ed this morning with a very large
attendance. 1t is probable that the
question of lay representation Will be
taken up during the day.
The admission in large numbers OF
laymeu is opposed strenuously by many
of the ministers, not so much because
they object to the principle involved,
as from the fact-tO state the case
not, therefore, like the idea of taking
the bread out of their own mouths.
To send lay delegates to general con-
ference in equal proportion with the
clergy, would mean that finally n
smaller number OF the clergy would
enjoy this honor; for to make the con-
ference two-thirds larger than 1t is, or
even one third larger with the two
orders sitting together, and with the
sessions continuing through whole
month, il prospect not to be thought
of tor moment. Possibly a solution
may be reached by providing that the
Iaity and clergy shall deliberate sepa-
ratelV in different buildings.
Meanwhile il il proposed to relieve
the situation at the gathering about TO
convene bv sitting the two order on
opposite sides OF the houses. Hereto
fore, tie laity and ministry have been
mixed up, and the point has been well
made that such an arrangement tends
keep the laymen in the background
that they can not only not muster az
many votes as the clergy, but that, as
the case stands, they have less chance
than their more numerous and more
valuable brethren to secure the prlVl-
| legeS of the floor.

POSTAL EXPERIMENTS.
Pneumatic Tubes for the Prompt Trans
mission of Postal Matter.

ST. LOUIS, May 1.-Two very in
teresLiHy postal experiments are be-
ing tried in this city, and upon their
result will depend the introduction
of some very radical changes in the
National Postal system. Work is IL
prorress on a system of pneumatic
tubes for the prompt delivery OF pos
tai matter. Each tube is to be
double, and the experimental one
will be a double tube from the Post
Office. a distance of three thousand
feet, and il will be easy to send mat
ter from end to end in the space OF
one minute. This is the first expert
meut with pneumatic postal tubes In
this Ountry, and the result Is looked
forward to with much Interest by Mr..
Wanamaker and others. Another
experiment, the prelimlnArles OF
which have just been completed, Is a
lock box to be placed on the doors
of private houses SO arranged that
not only will the mail carrier drop
the mail in the box when passing,
but he will also collect whatever mail
the occupants of the house desire to
dispatch. Each box has tablet
which can be seen at a distance oil
one hundred feet notifying the car
rier W neither there is any mail 10;
him to collect. Forty boxes have sc
far been i'll operation, and one nun

success and that it will effect both {
saving to the department and grea

INTERSTATE COMMERCE ACT.
VioIators to Be Placed Trial at Chi
cago This Week,

CHICAGO, May 3.-The spring term
of the Federal Court opened to-day,
and IA grand jury was at once impan-
neled. Several important cases will
come before the body, especially in
relation to violations of the interstate
commerce act, and concerning which
Special Agent Kretschman, OF the
Commission, has been working up
considerable evidence. No plea has
yet been filed against the indictments
against the Swifts, Freight Agent
Briggs and others, which were re-
turned to the court at the last session
of the Federal grand jury. 1t is prob
able, however, that the accused will
enter plea of not guilty, and allow
the cases to take their course, relying
upon the decision of the supreme
Court in the Counselman case to carry
them safely through.
