NORTHFIELD ECHOES.

The above is the title of a new magazine
the first number of which has Just been
issued. 1t is to be published monthly dur
ing the summer, in connection with the
Mortified conferences. For some years
the need has been felt for complete re-
port of the many valuable addresses and
courses of study presented at Mortified
each summer. Thus far the only reports
of the work have been the incomplete
"specials" which have been issued by the
daily papers and occasional volumes con-
tanning the addresses OF certain conferences.
d. l.. PiersOn, son of DR.. \. Il. Pierson,
is the editor of the new magazine, and b.
A. Barlow, ir., who has been business
manager of the Mennonite the past year,
is looking after the business interests of ii.
Both Mr.. Pierson and Mr.. Barlow have
many friends in BrattleboIo who will be
interested in the success of the publication.
The number Just issued contains articles
by prominent men connected with North
field work; is illustrated with maps and
half-tone portraits and views. The open
ing article by Rev. A. T. PiersOn, d. D.,
"The story of Mortified conferences"
gives in an entertaining way the history of
the summer conferences. 1t is illustrated
by portraits of such men as A. A. Bonar,

RACING IN MODERN ROME.

Riderless Horses G0aied to Furious Speed
With Balls of Prickles.
The prizes for these races were called
palii, and were usually pieces of brocade
or some other rich stuff, which was
thrown over the back of the horse that
won and SO displayed to the people. We
also hear of a procession of the l'::lli, so
no doubt they often took the form of
banner. The mobiles used to deposit them
in their cbapels. and in the last days OF
the papal government the French sol
diers substituted for the procession of the
palii that Of the bue grasso.
The pope's dragons used to gallop
through the Corso to clear it before tie
race, and to warn the people that it
had actually started. Either mortars
were fired or trumpets blown, but acct
dents were perpetually occurring, and
when in 1886 two people were killed just
below the balcony where stood the Queen
Margherita, the Barbary races were for
hidden in the Corso for the future, though
renewed last year in a very much modi-
fed form around the Piazza del POpolo.
The horses had no riders, but carried
two balls of lead, covered with prickles,
loosely attached by leather thongs be-
low the neck and ON the back. So of
course the harder they galloped the more
these prickly balls danced up and down
and goaded them on.
Dashing furiously along the Corso,
they were past almost before people
knew that they had started, and in such
narrow street. with such crush Of
people on either side and somebody al
ways trying to cross at the last moment
or stepping out of the throng to see if
they were coming. it was small wonder
that it was a dangerous game. though
of course the danger was in part also
the attraction.
A sheet was stretched across the street
to catch the horses at the back of Piazza
Venezia, in the passage still called Via
della Ripresa de Barberi, in front of
which was cord covered with wet red
paint. This dropped before the rush of
the foremost horse. leaving streak of
paint on his chest. and thus all knew at
once which was the winner.-Gentle-

though he be tired. jaded. soiled, d.

A Loud Telephone.

An English paper describes telephone
which will talk loud enough for person
in any part of a large room to hear and
understand. Mr.. Graham. the inventor.
has succeeded not so much by an i'm
provemnt on the existing telephones as
by his method of arranging the circuit
and bringing it's resistance as low as
possible. To this end the usual induc-
ton coil is discarded, and the two instru-
ments. transmitter and receiver, are d.
rectly connected in circuit with the line
and the battery The translnitter at one
end of the line is connected to the re-
ceiver at the other end, and two separate
lines are employed having a common re-
turn wire. Two correspondents can thus
talk quite freely with each other, and as
the receivers speak out so as to be heard
in any part of room conversation can
be carried on by each person simply
speaking to his transmitter.
The apparatus is attached to flexible
conductors and is held in the hand. To
open q conversation it is sufficient to
pick up the portable transmitter and
press a button in its casing. so as to es-
tablish the circuit. The receiver at the
other end acts as its own call bell by the
loudness of its voice, and the response
comes equally prompt and loud. The
user has therefore no need to listen care
fully with one or two receivers held up
to his head All he has to do is to speak
into his transmitter and keep his ears
open.

treasurer of the school board of Hyde Park
and Calumet. In 1889, when the annexa-

chairman of the annexation committee and
the success of the movement was largely
attributed to his endeavors.
Since that time he has been influential in
Democratic councils. He was a delegate to

A SELF MADE MAN.
How John p. Hopkins Advanced From q
Lumber Shower to Mayor of Chicago.

How John p. Hopkins Advanced From a
Lumber Shower to Mayor of Chicago.
John P. Hopkins is the youngest man
ever elected mayor of Chicago. He is ma
tive of New York and was born in Buffalo,
Oct. 90, 1865 and received his education in
the public schools of that city. His father
was poor man and had a large family, so
John was obliged to quit school early and
90 to work. His first job was in All iron
foundry, heating rivets, and he kept it till
he got better one at Evans elevators. He
went to Chicago in 1879, after the death of
his father. and his first employment there
was showing lumber in the Pullman COM
pany's yards.
His advancement was rapid. and in three
years he was paymaster of the company, a
position he held until 1888, when he organ
lied the Arcade Trading company, gen.
eral merchandising concern. which did bust
ness in Pullman for a year and then changed
it's name to the Secord- Hopkins company
and moved to Kensington. where it has
since continued to do business.
During all this time Mr.. Hopkins had
taken considerable interest in local politics.
In 1885, while paymaster of the Pullran
company, he was also treasurer Of the town
Of Hyde Park, which had not then been an
