Every one of us on the car spotted
them for bridal couple as they got on
at a snail station, but there was that
about the groom that claimed every
ones attention; he had pair of badly
bruised and blackened eyes and a
skinned nose. 1t was plain that he had
had fight, and we were all curious,
and an hour later, when he went to the
smoking-car, several of us followed on
and asked him for an explanation.
Eyes, 1 had a fout," he said, as he
lighted his briar-root. 81 had to hev a

eff she'll hev me- says I.
"'Whoop' says he, as he cracks his
heels together. but nobody kin be
spliced to Sue till they ar big huff to

"sTll grow fur ye,' says l. and with
that he cracks his heels some mo- and
crows like rooster and says he'll be
ready any time l am. l was dun ready
yesterday. l goes over to the house
and says to the ole man:
"'Uncle Eben, I'm yere fur to be

The reptile as splice Sue has got to
lick her ole dadn
That's what I'm we're fur. Come

''Tha tickles the ole critter half to

LEGAL LUMINARIES.
THEY WILL SOON ASSEMBLE IN CON-
 vENTioN AT MILWAUKEE.

Preparations For the Annual Session of the
 American Bar rAssocIatIon-HIstory and
 Objects of the orSaniEation-SubJect to
 Be DIscussed-John Randolph Tucker.
 Jurisprudence and law reform, judi cial administration and remedial proce- dure, commercial law, the simplification of legal processes, and especially the assimilation so far as possible of the divorce laws of the several states-such are the principal subjects to be dis cussed at the sixteenth annual session of the American Bar association, which is to be held at Milwaukee beginning Aug. 80 and continuing three days. The last named subject is one of increasing in- terest, as the various divorce laws, from South Carolina to South Dakota, have of late years given rise to most embar- rassing complications.
 It was on July 1, 1878, that circular letter was issued calling an informal meeting of lawyers at Saratoga on Aug. 21 of that year. To this call the signers were Benjamin H. Bristow, William M. Evarts, George Hoadly, Stanley Mat thews, E. J. Phelps, Lyman Trumbull, J. Randolph Tucker and some others of equal standing as lawyers, but not known in national politics. At the meet

 These men have wagrrrd as high as ever did John MorrisSry, J,,i.n Chamberlain, Price McGrlth or John Harper in the good old days when loEEfrllnw and Harry Bas- sett, the great sons of Lexington and Leam- ington, Contendcd for equine supremacy and carried all the money of the country on the result of Inc cHcouutsr.
 Indeed Mike nvyyor has iI lo years won and lost-priucjpaliyW Wo,.-.ss2,D uo, ,G10 on the race track. On his fl,urj;S horses alone Luke B!ackburn, Iiudun and Hanover he cleared some hing like $-5A,G00. They were the best horses the Dwycr stable ever produced and seldom lest q race Each of them won great events, like the Brooklyn handicap, Suburban and Metropolitan stakes, with scarcely an effort.
 Probably the most unique and daring bet Mike Dwyer ever made was when he placed S36,000 against 5000 on his famous mare, Miss Woodtorl, when she raced that equally famous thorough ghbred, George Ken ney, some years ago. kenney won after bruising race, and D,yycr took his loss with as much sang froil as if it were Sl he had placed on the result Only about a fort night ago Dywcr lost wager of $50, 600 which he had ventured against E25, 600 on a single race. Not a whit dismayed by this catastrophe. he immediately put mp an other $50, 900 against $3Q,0G0 upon another race and won. Fortune was kind to him in the other events, and he won out, ," as the boys put it, on the day.
 Johnny Campbell. owner of DiabIo, the Brooklyn handicap winner. cleared Sl1O, ,0O0 by the gallant performance of his game little horse on that eventful day in May when Diablo burst through q field of the best horses in the country and carried off the $25, ,0OO purse. Campbell had backed his horse in the winter books and obtained as high as 50 and loo to against him.
 George w. Smith, or Pittsburg Phil, as he is popularly known, is lad of but q years and the youngest bettor at the race track. He is also one of the merriest and most successful He never hesitates a mo ment to put up $l0,0o0, S20000, $50, 900, or even more, if he thinks he has "a good thing" He clearvtl $25 GOO on Terrifier when that fine animal gave Lowlander a fine race for first money in the Suburban | handicap recently. Terrilier sold low in | the pools and Phil was enabled to get as high as lu to against him for place. Phil's greatest coup, however, was made | at Sheepshead Bay three years ago. He had two horses, named King Cadmus and | Merry Monarch, entered in the two princi- pal events of the day. The bookmakers thought so poorly of Phil's "nags' that they offered odds of 30, 10 and 50 to l against them. Phil eagerly snapped up all such offers and nearly ruined a dozen

the G2ndo Murderer Is Held.
 CANDo, \. D., July 1l-Albert Bam burger, the young murderer who kiIlet Ben kreider, his wife and four children or Friday, narrowly escaped lynching here He had been caught at Deloraine, Manito ba, few miles from the border, and agreed to come back with Sheriff McCune O; Ramsey county without extradition pa pers.
 When the sheriff and his prisoner ar rived, mob of determined men were wait ing for him with the fixed plan of hanginG the murderer to the nearest telegraph pole but Sheriff McCune succeeded in eludink the mob. It is question, however, wheth CT Hamburger is any safer in Ramsey coun ty than he would have been here, as thert is the widest indignation over his bloody crime.
 Threats of lynching are still heard or every side, and the prisoner is by no meani sure of trial.
 A Devils Lake special says that Sheriff McCune, assisted by Sheriff Barton O. Towne county, succeeded in getting tn, prisoner into the jail without trouble A crowd of 100 men had gathered, and wheI the party drove up there were cries ol Lynch himp' Hang himp' The officials and several deputies jumped out and hus tied Hamburger into the jail on dead run. McCune had a formidable looking rifle, and though it was not loaded he at tributes his success in getting the prisoner jailed 10 that weapon.
 A company of militia Is now guarding tn, jail. and an attempt to take the man out and hang him Is expected at any time, a, it is understood 8 party is coming from Cando with that object in view.

CHERRIES RIPE.
One of the Simplest Fruits to Preserve,
 Rarely Spelling,

Rarely Spelling.
 To can cherries procure sound, ripe fruit. Fruit which is partially ripe, as we have often said before. is never fit for canning, although some authorities recommend such fruits, but the result is always unsatisfactory. Look the cher ries over very carefully, urges the New York Tribune. Do not stone them. Some housekeepers clip off half the stem, others prefer to remove the whole stem-this Is matter of fancy. When the fruit is all prepared, put i into clean cans and cover it with light sirup i'll the proportion of , pounds of granulatcd sugar to 5 pints of cold water. This should be enough sirup for 10 quarts of cherries.
 After filling the jars to the brim with sirup put on the covers. leaving the rubbers off, or if they are patent cans close them. Pack the jars in a large flat bottomed kettle and put them on a rack used for the purpose. Pack towels between the jars to prevent their knock ing together, or if more convenient wtsps of hay will serve. Pour luke warm water in the boiler us high up as the necks of the jars. Let the water boil and cook the cherries in this way for 15 minutes after the water begins to boil.
 At the end of this time remove the jars one by one to shallow pan con taining little boiling water. Take off the covers and fill them up again with boiling sirup, which should have been re- served for this purpose. Considerable sirup will have been absorbed during the cooking, leaving space for the new sirup. Put on the rubbers and seal the cans up tight. When the jars are cold, tighten them again with all your strength, wipe them off with cloth, and they are ready to set away in dark, cool closet, the temperature of which should never rise above 60 degrees. A good sour cherry has a rich, fine flavor of its own and is very juicy, but is of medium size. To preserve it allow three-quarters of pound of sugar to a cherries, saving every particle of juice. Add to the juice enough water to make a cupful for every three pounds of sugar used. Boil the sugar and liquid together for a moment or two, stirring 1t till the sugar is dissolved. Add the cherries and cook them for 10 minutes. Then fill jars with them, adding the sirup in equal quantity to each jar. Seal them up, and when they are cold tighten them again and Set them away. Some house keepers take the extra precaution to tie layer of cotton batting over the mouths | of the jars of all their preserved fruit.

illard would have captured over $coo.0oo in wagers alone.
 His second misfortune occurred when his other magnificent thoroughbred, Lamp lighter swas "pocketed'' coming down the stretch on handicap day when he had vic tory virtually all but won. That error of judgment on the part of Jockey Sims cost MT. Lorillard something like S35,o 900. He had backed Lamplighter, but not as heavily as he had his other favorite, Locohatchee, prior to his becoming incapacitated for further work.
 The Albany confederacy," consisting of M. N. Nolan, Gene Woods and Gull Holland, bagged S4o,0o0 three years ago when their rather indifferent horse Cast away II unexpectedly won the Brooklyn handicap from what was considered good field. All they invested was S1 900.
 Dave Pulsifer must have netted all of $S0,0O0 when his great little sway yback, |" the renowned Tenny, romped in a winner at the handicap in the following year. He lost heavily. however, in the special matches he had made for his horse with the great Salvador. He had the satisfaction of know ing, however, that all the talent went down with him. To a man almost they backed the "swayback."
 The Black confederacy," too, an organ ization composed entirely of colored men, is at times heavy winner. The leaders of the confederacy are Andy Thompson, Jack Nails, Ed Nails and Charles Anderson. They study horses closely and are we'll post ed as to their likelihood of winning. Two years ago at Morris park Thompson won sec, 900 on his horse Frontenac, getting odds of from 20 to 10 to l against him. The Nails and Anderson, too, caught on for about S20,000 All told, the confederacy took about SEQ 900 from the bookmakers.
 Resides fba mon I bava mentioned aa plungcrs there are others who at times bet heavily at the track. Among these may be mentioned J. B. HaGgin, owner of Salva- tor; Richard Croker, the big Tammany chieftain; Hattie Corbett, Davy Johnson, John Parker and Jim Farren of Albany. As a rule these gentlemen 'go on" the best horses and generally win. Sometimes, however, they are big losers.
 The greatest bet ever made on a race track was that of John Morrissey against John Chamberlain and John Harper at Saratoga some 70 years ago on the memora- ble Longfellow- -Bassett race Morrissey bet Chamberlain and Harper, who pooled their issues, SlO0,O00 that Bassett would win, and they promptly accepted. Morris sey won the money.
 The smallest money ever bet on track with the best results accruing was that made by a tout niCknamed Jack the Beef er'' at the Brooklyn handicap of three years ago. Jack had but S2, and with that he won 5000. He beat all seven of the races that day. Betting or plunging on horse races is n pleasurable pastime if & man understands the game and is n natural born gambler. If he does not know horses from A to z and has not the traits of a gamester, he had better let the sport alone, for it is not likely to prove profitable in the end

 A laundress says that she mixes a piece of alum about the size of hickory nut with every pint of starch. The alum is dissolved and then stirred into the starch.
