BREEDING DRAUGHT HORSES.

English draught horse breeders have
given more attention to size,. power
and strength than any other breeders
and have the heaviest draught horses
in the world. The Clydesdele breeders
in Scotland were the first to start a
draught horse stud book and they have
made pedigree their chief cornerstone.
French breeders have made action and
beauty of form their aim. They care
not SO much for size and still less for
pedigree. The Belgian breeders be-
lieve they have the model draught
horse and have carefully maintained
their type for generations.
The American draught horse is being
evolved from these breeds with good,
heavy draught size, with style and
action to suit our markets. European
breeders have been developing their
model draught horse for a hundred
years and have made the draught horse
their national breed and the agricultural
horse of all Europe. American farm
ers, too eager for experiment and i'm
patient for suc1sss, have tried all the
breeds, have crossed and mixed them
to their hearts content, and then di'
luted with trotters and coachers and
find we lack the chief element-size.
Let us now adhere to line breeding,
to sires in the same stud book, and
grade up for a larger draught horse
with size and weight in the collar, with
all the beauty Of form, style and action
we can get, but We must first get size
to make draught horses; thousands OF
u little grades have beautiful forms,
but with SOC pounds more weight
would make them double the price.
Start now for that extra 500 pounds
try for the 1900 and 1000 pounds, and
you will better appreciate the mistake
of stopping 9Th one or two crosses.
Breed to the best pure bred sires and
grade up to the top. Never sell e good
mare, however tempting the offer.
Keep them to do the farm work and
raise fine draught colts.-Western Ag-

A Matter Of Health

TTcosts more to make Royal Baking Powder
i than any other, because its ingredients
are more highly refined and expensive. But
the Royal is correspondingly purer and
higher in leavening strength, and OF greater
money value to the consumer. The difference
in cost of Royal over the best OF the others
does not equal the difference in leavenlng
strength, nor make good the inferior work
of the cheaper powders, nor remove the
impurities which such powders leave i'll
the food.
Where the finest food is required, the
Royal Baking Powder only can be used.
Where the question of health is considered,
no baking powder but Royal can be used
with safety. All others are shown by official
analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum.

1T WAS MADE A DRAW
Some New York Sports Who
Were Much Disguised.
This Is the Sort of Thing That Goes
to Show the True Inwardness
of Pugilism.


CoNEY ISLAND, n. j., March pa large
crowd came down tonight anticipating two
good fights. The first was a ten-round bout
between Jack Magee of Boston and Billy
Mccarthy Of Australia, both belug under
100 pounds. In the first round Magee led
the fighting and pushed Mccarthy lively
for some time until Mccarthy suddenly
landed his right on Magee's chin, scoring a
clean knockdown.
The punching was lively on both sides
from this on, but nothing serious occurred
until the eighth, when hagee landed stiff
left on McCarthy's eye, drawing blood, and
followed it with R blow on the stomach,
which evidently weakened the Australian
In the tenth round both were full of fight
and went at it hammer and tOngs. each try
ing for decision, knowing il was their last
chance. Both were badly punished, and
the decision of the referee declaring the
contest a draw met with general satsiac-
tion.
Then came George Dixon and Siddons
Physicians certificates were read showing
that Skelly was in no condition to fight, and
the referee announced that if Dixon and
SiddonS were able TO continue at the end of
twelve rounds the decision would be draw.
This was the only condition on which the
bout could be arranged, so far as the de-
cision went, but the man who had the ad-
vantage up TO the end of the fight should
receive $500 of the $1,000 purse.
Dixon started the fighting with not very
vigorous work, and SiddOns kept away as
much as possible.
II was very tame up to the sixth, Dixon
evidently not feeling like rushing and Sid
dons apparently having mis- minds eye on a
decision for draw with half the purse.
The crowd at this point began to yell
'Fakew This braced the boys for d few
minutes, and Siddons did some vigorous
leading. which pleased the crowd. His
ardor soon subs ided, however, whereupon
the crowd began 10 guy them and to whistle
Home, Sweet Home." This caused an
other spurt of animation, but again 1t sub
sided and at the end Of the twelfth round
the referee declared the match a draw amid
the jeers and yells of the crowd, the gen
eral verdict being that 1t was the poorest
exhibition ever seen around these parts
1t is conceded. however, that Dixon should
have had at least few days Of training,
his being hurFedly taken into the match
because of Skelly's Illness placing Linn at
disadvantage.

CURIOS FROM SPAIN.
Models of Works That Are Older
Than Christianity.
There Will Be Shown Forts Dating
Back to the Time of the
Moorish Conquest.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

New YORK, March 2O.-The steamship
Ciudad Condai of the Compania Transat-
lantica and Espana, landed Saturday Il
group of exhibits consigned by the Spanish
Government to the Columbian Worlds
Fair. There are many valuable paintings,
one representing Columbus before Isabella,
and several remarkable contributions in the
shape of models the first of their kind ever
shipped out # Spain. One of the most
striking is a perfect reproduction of the
world-famed bridge over the Guadsquiver
River at CoIdova. There are sixteen arches
and two turretS, the foundations of the
originals of which were laid when Christ
was boy in Nazareth. Special interest is
attached 10 this work, owing to the fact that
COrdova is said to be the oldest paved city
in Europe.
Ol interest TO experts as we'll rs the gen.
eral public will be complete model Of the
fortress at Barcelona, long considered i'm
pregnable. The most minute details are
faithfully produced.
From Barcelona also comes model of
the statue of Columbus. which represents
the navigator standing upon a globe, the
right hand pointing to the West, while the
left clasps a chart. Also models of the
North and South fortresses at Corunua, the
originals of which date back to the time of
the Moorish Invasion.
Other interesting fortresses are repre-
senied in the collection. including those of
San Fernando and Puerto Tiera, at Cadz
The Moorish castle at Alicante, dating back
to the twelfth century, will also be repre-
sented. The models are the work of the
royal engineers of Spain.
The public exhibition OF these plans of
national defenseS is noteworthy, from the
fact that the Spanish Government watches
with jealous eye any attempt on the part II
foreigners to closely examine the Mediter-
rauean Notifications.

They Will Resist Any Attempt at
Reorganization.


WASHINGTON. March 20.-The Republic
cans of the Senate met in caucus this morn
ing to consider the threatened attempt by
the Democrats to reorganize the elective
officers of the Senate. There was a full
attendance, Sherman presiding.
1t was declared that this was contrary to
all preeedents at a special session, and
would seriously interfere with the public
business 1t was then unanimously agreed
that the chairman should wait on German,
chairman of the Democratic caucus, and
notify him that any attempt at reorganiza-
ton would be very distasteful TO the Re-
publicans.
There will be no opposition to the election
of Harris as Presidentipro tempOre The
committees and clerks have been changed,
and the Republicans say that reorganization
is complete for this session. If the Demo-
Gratis try 10 go further the Republicans
will quote from the records of 1881, when

sort on the part Of the Repu blicans, who
finally abandoned the effortin this direction.

will be held, with the probability of a de-

FOUR GREAT SHIPS.
How Herbert Will Divide
the Navy.
ON THE PACIFIC STATION
There Is Need of Modern Vessels of
War, and They Will Be
Sent Here.


WASHINGTON, March 20-While the Sec
retary and other officials of the navy ale
busy with preparations for the great re-
view, to the exclusion Of nearly all other
matters, recent circular issued by Mr..
Herbert to bureau chiefs indicates that he
is also contem plating the policy of keeping
the navy attoat In this circular the Secre-
tary asked for Information as 20 the number
OF ships that could be ready for foreign
service by the 1stOf May. This is taken to
imply that when the naval review is over
the United States fleet will be detached for
foreign service.
The review has depleted the different sta
tions OF ships, and with the exception Of the
Boston, now at Honolulu, and of the gun
boat Petrol, on the Asiatic station, the
United States has not at present a single
modern vessel on foreign station. Here
and there are few old wooden ships but
the whole force of the navy is practically
centered at home.
1t is thought probable that at the conclu-
sion Of the review Secretary Herbert will
divide the ships into three fleets. put new
officers in command of the fleets and send
them away at once 10 the Pacific, the South
Atlantic and Europe.
Secretary Herbert appreciates the neces-
sily of always keeping as large a squadron
as our small navy will permit upon the Pa
citc Coast, where there has been in late
years greater need of warships for the
various diplomatic emergencies arising out
OF the diplomatic unsettlement of pending
international dissension in the Bering Sea
matters, Hawaiian affair and internecine
difficulties in Chile. For the past few years
the services of one or two ships have been
continuously required at Samoa and the
unsettled condition of affairs in the Sand
wich Islands for the last four years has also
made it necessary to always have at least
one of our ships there, leaving one or two
old hulki at Mare Island that are unfit for
sea eivice TO answer any demand that the
Government might feel for warship for
some immediate and special duty. These
ships are the Adams. unseaworthy and not
: in repair. aud the little Alert is not in much
better co dition.
What ships are to go TO the Pacific has not
yet been determined upon, but it is certain
that there will be at least four. and they
may be the same that were brought around
by Admiral Gherardi.
The Machias and Castine are stated for
China when they are ready for commission,
on account Of their light draught. which
makes them useful for service on Chinese
rivers and bays. The Lancaster will re-
main as the flagship until her three years
service are up, unless it should be deter
mined TO send a modern vessel out, in which
event she would be sent home and placed
out of commission.

Punishment Will Come for Murder
Done Six Years Ago.

OwENsBoRo. KY, March 90 - Eleven
well-known farmers of Perryon, Crawford
County, Ind, are uuder indictment, charged
with the murder of John Davidson, we'll
known farmer of Crawford County. Six
years ago these eleven men were members
Of gang of whitecaps who terrorized that
region. John Davidson was suspected of
completely in the alleged abduction and
outrage of q gill and was taken from his
home at night and subjected to a horrible
torture to force a confession. Failing to
extort any confession from him, these saw
ages hung him from the limb of tree. 1t
was soon proven that Davidson had no
knowledge of the alleged outrage. but the
secrets Of the band were so we'll kept that
no direct evidence against them could be
presented in court.
One of the leaders of the gang named
Otto Postenberg. was convicted upon
another charge at the last term of court at
Cannelon and was sentenced to long
term in the penitentiary, and another
turned States evidence which led to the
indictment of these eleven members of the
gang. They have paid firm OF lawyers at
CanneltOn $1,000 to defend them.
