Linen sseut Overheard.
A man came over on the big Cum
arder Companies last trip, who, be-
ing of an inquiring turn of mind,
used his eyes and ears TO good adj
vantage all the way and he expressed
to a reporter the most unqualified
amazement at the constant wholesale
waste of valuable material.
Il don't think so much of the
stewards selling saloon fare to the
steerage," he said, because the food
would be thrown overheard. any way,
and the stewards or 'hunkies,' as the
seamen call them, may well make
something off it if they can Their
pay is small, so the transaction re-
suits in substantial benefit for them.
A great many persons come over in
the Storage because they don't care
what their accommodations are so
long as they get good food, and they
are pretty sure of being able TO buy
that from the stewards. OF course it
isn't the square thing to do, but
what | wondered the most at was the
utter disregard for the ships outfit.
"For instance, a steward would
take down the Storage a dozen
dishes and plates of choice food, in
a large bucket, carefully covered, so
the contents would not be seem or
course the bucket contained silver
forks, spoons, knives, and very often
silver vegetable and desert dishes
and individual chocolate and coffee
pots. When the food was eaten the
china and silver went back TO the
bucket and the whole business was
quietly dropped into the refuse chute
and down into the sea! I've seen as
many as ten buckets taken down by
the same number of stewards three
or four times day throughout a trip,
and in every case the crockery, sill
verware and bucket went overheard.
You may take my word for it, that
anything a steward carries below
never gets back to its proper quar-
tiers again-not only because of the
risk of detection, but because Of the
trouble.
Il doubt, though, if the risk is
very great. for some OF the officers
are themselves exceedingly careless
and destructive. | have seen large,

into an officers room for him to use

he finished the blankets were rolled

THE HORSE MARKET.

a feeling of timldty seems to have
fastened on those who have trotters to
sell this fall, and it is more than likely
that the first great yendues will be called
later in the season than usual. The
reason for this is plain. Last winter
and spring horses with speed, good
roadster powers or campaigning ability
brought fair prices, the all pervadng
desire to engage actively in racing
creating the demand. Owners with one
or two horses bought one or two more
to increase the size of their strings, and
so enable them to compete in greater
number of classes at the meetings which
they designed TO attend. With the open
ing of the racing season all owners
hearts beat high with hope, but the
future must tell whether their expecta-

been published, and the receipt of a copy
is acknowledged | say at last been pub
lished because a number of years have
been devoted to its preparation, and it is
the consciousness of the author which
has caused the long delay. 1t is an octa-
vo of nearly 1000 pages, handsomely
bound and profusely illustrated, and,
without having taken time to examine it
critically, | do not hesitate to pronounce
it not only by far the most comprehen-
sive work eyer published on the Morgan
family, but one of the most important
contributions to trotting literature that
has been made. Next week 1t is my pur-
pose to give it an extended review, and
only say meantime that no student of
breeding can afford to have it out of his
library ["Griliin" in Turf, Field and

IN A WELL WITH A SNAKE.
Thrilling Encounter of a Georgia Man witt
Il..............-

Thrilling Encounter of a Georgia Man with
Dangerous Reptile.
Mr. Early White of South Macon was
engaged not long ago in experimenting
the cleaning out of his well. The work
had progressed for some time when the
idea struck him that he ought to go down
in the well and see how the work was be-
ing dOno. He was lowered to the bottom
by rope and bucket attached to a wind
lass that was USED in drawing up the
thrash and clay from the well The we'll
digger who had the job in hand had come
to the top to allow the proprietor Of the
premises to 20 down on his tour of inspec-
ton.
When - reached the bottom, he cast
his eyes upward and saw to his utter hor-
ror the head of an immense water rattle
snake protruding out Of the side of the
well less than six feet above his head His
hair rose on end, and those chilly sensa-
tons we'll known to those who have been
placed in such close quarters crcpt down
his back and produced IA surrcndering sen
sation in his knees. Farther and farther
the snake swung out from his hole be-
tween two sections of the curbing until
finally he lowered himself within a few
feet of the man, Kissing in "a threatening
manner and seeming ready at every no
ment to spring at full length upon his
victim.
Recovering himself in moment of dire
emergency, calculating closely between
life and DEATH Mr.. White called Justify to
the men above to lower the bucket that
he might be drawn to the top before the
snake made up his mind about what he
would do, having it evidently in mind to
swoop down upon him.
But his hope of escape by means of the
bucket fell several degrees when it flashed
into his mind that even ii he got into the
bucket before the snake plunged down on
him the danger would not be over for the
reptile was SO Infatuated that it would
strike him as he passed up to the top.
At this iuncturc Of his distress the
bucket could be seen coming downward.
When it got opposite the snake, he struck
at it with venom that all but paralyzed
the man with increased fear, but ncrving
himself to the effort he jumped in the
bucket when it reached him and called to
the man at the helm to ''snatch him up
with jerk.
This was probably all that saved Mr.
Whites life. Several strong men laid
hands to the windlass, and at the given
signal from the friend in distress brought
him up with such suddenness that it
completely defeated his snakeship's de
signs and caused his strike to fall several
feet below the mark of the rapidly ascend
ing man. The snake thrust himself out
with such force that he dislodgcd himself
from the curbing and fell to the bottom.
1t was an awful experience. Macon

lions will or will not be realized. Should
the fortune of war be with the majority,
the demand for racehorses will continue
on the same basis. and from present in
dicatons such will prove to be the case.
Many of the more recent additions to
the owners ranks are faring well, the
most of them have bought wisely and
engaged honest and competent trainers
there Is AN abundance of money to be
won, and for these reasons the defec-
tiOns in the autumn will be comparative-
ly few. Then the inter-club roadster
cup races developed spirit of rivalry
which has resulted and will continue to
result in the purchase of many fast
trotters. The speedway in New York
is also exerting its influence for good
and from every city of size in the union
comes the story that greater interest is
being shown in road driving and har-
ness racing than has ever before been
noted. The foreign demand has all sum-
mer been brisk, not only for ready made
race-hOrses, but for brood stock and
untrled colts and flles able to show a
high rate of speed France, which has
hitherto not proved the most liberal
buyer of our trotters, has at last deter
mined that from America must be drawn
the speed and finish alone needed to
make the sport of trotling giant sue
cess. The French trotters in the main
are not highly finished nor blood-like
animals. Their action is by comparison
rough; but they have size, endurance
and certain degree of speed. Almost
exclusively of thoroughbred extraction
and full of warm blood, trained for gen
erations to traverse long distances at
racing speed, and with the trotting in
stinct thoroughly fixed, they present
foundation on which, by the aid of we'll
bred, fast and game American stations.
a magnificent breed may he evolved and
perfected. Not even in this land of
liberty is the love of trottiug racing
stronger than it is in our sister republic.
The prevailing cry is for more speed,
and the government, the father of the
French horsebreeding industry, has
determined that American stations shall
be introduced. One of the best authori-
ties on such matters says that this fall
some extensive orders from France will
be filled at the sales. The official I'm

haras has had agents in the United
States for some time, and it is under
stood that their reports have been emf

can be made The demand will be good.
