The Patrol Judge Scheme at Roby.

A new system of receiving information
from patrol judges is to be instituted at the
Roby track, near Chicago. At various DO
sitions along the course patrol boxes are to
be erected much the same as the police pa
troll stations in the cities, says The Horse
man. Each will be provided with tele-
phones, communication with which will be
direct to the judges stand. Each box will
be large enough to contain the patrol Judge.
and Immediately after the conclusion of a
race he can send his report to the judges
without personal attendance at the stand.
In addition each of these men is to be
supplied with a field glass, through which
he may observe the race from start to fin
ish, and being stationary, with only COM
paratively short distance of the track to
watch over. he will be able to give much
more accurate information than if seated
on galloping horse, as has hitherto been
the custom. By this means the telephone
messages will do away with much obiec-
tionable delay and will generally expedite
matters, and the protection afforded will
more than counterbalance the outlay Prop
erly conducted, this scheme will be real
improvement in the management of a race
track

Earnest for Dunn.

Hon. VIM. E.: Lee, of Long Prairie,
speaker OF the house Of representa-
tives, was in the city Sunday, on his
way home from st. Paul. The call
ing of the Republican state cOnven-
ton has naturally aroused active
interest in the state campaign, and
the opinion OF one as prominent in
party affairs as Mr.. Lee is is OF con-
siderable interest. He expressed an
emphatic opinion that there should
be no hesitancy or compromise in
the character OF support this section
OF the state gives to Hon. Z. G. Dunn
in his candidacy for state auditor
He said:
II hope and believe that the entire
Sixth district will come actively in
line for Mr.. Dunn, and his public
services have been such as to make
him the most available candidate
the Republican party can nominate.
The refusal Of the Republican party
to nominate him can be con-
strucd as a reputation OF Mr..
Dunn>s work in bringing to light the
pine land transactions by which the
public school funds Of the state have
lost many thousands of dollars
through the method employed in the
state auditors office. The people
have many years heard of what this
or that man was going to do to pro-
tect the state from loss in some way,
and now that Bob Dunn has really
accomplished something it would be
bad public as well as party policy to
allow the enemies he has made to
punish him for it. The nomination
Of Dunn would certainly be an en-
phatic endorsement by the Republic
can party of his work in protecting
the state from frauds, and would be
one Of the strongest issues upon
which to conduct the state cam
paign. His defeat before the cOnven-
ton will certainly give some grounds
for the charge that the party is not
in sympathy with his record in that
particular. OF course other candi-
dates for state Offices from the Sixth
district may be expected, but their
ambitions should not be allowed to
je0pordize Mr.. Dunn candidacy"
Questioned about his mentioned
candidacy for congress, Mr.. Lee said
that while he had many flattering
offers OF assistance from Republicans
in the western part Of the district, he
had not as yet come to any conclu
sion in the matter. He felt that Du-
luth was entitled to a fair share OF
political recognition this year, and
that his actions would be controlled
by what seemed for the interests of
the district and the party.

The street sprinkling matter has
finally been settled. Last night a
petition was presented to the cOun-
Gil, having the signatures of the
owners of more than tWU-thirds OF
the frontage and of the valuation of
the property along the streets for
which sprinkling was asked. There
was large margin above the two
thirds on Broadway, but on First
street there was more opposition to
paying the tax. The part OF First
street to lie Sprinkled extends from
the center Of the block in which the
buchanan hotel is situated north to
list avenue nOrth-tWO blocks and a
half. The valuation is about $751;
600, and signers representing over
$37 900 Of property were on the petit
ton. The tax to property will he
about the same as last year. One
block that was included last year
is now left out, and it's valuation
was $4,000. but nearly $4,000 in
valuation OF new buildings is added.
SO the vote will remain ut about $3
ST 600 valuation.

THE PORTABLE ARM NEST.

FAINT monarch is snuggled when he is to
make trip to the drawing room for the
editicatlon Of adnliring friends. This
downy nest is just the suggest way
OF carrying baby about through drafty
halls A very pretty sample Of the ''baby
exhibitor as it is termed, was made up
in white cashmere. The upper part was
semicircular pillow, and to this was
attached a cashmere pad, wadded and
lined with eiderdown flannel Secured
to the pad and open half way down was
a coverlet Of cashmere, tufted with pale
blue ribbons, and having at the top
border of the goods turned down, bound
with rosy hued ribbon, and embroidered
with a drift Of blooms the natal flowers
OF the small Adam tucked beneath it.
Upon the half circle Of pillow the same
blossom design was displayed. All about
the edges of the pad and pillow was a
frill of weblike lace, and a ruff1e of the
same finished the turned down border Of
the coverlet. A couple Of bows dotting
the snowy cashmere background Of the
spread and pink buttons fastening it
down Oh either side where it was un-
stitched completed this novel and at
tractive addition to baby's belongings.
Baskets rugged out in sheer null,
glossy satin, gay ribbons and fine laces
are furnished with every thing new and
lovely in toilet articles. The willow
hamper, with it's substantial snuggery
for the infantile wardrobe and top tray
for odds and ends, is a sensible affair. In
the upper compartment some very
unique notions are to be found if the
hamper has been fitted out in correct
form. There is the miniature brush and
comb. Accompanying these are powder
box and puff, sponges, cushions Of fancy
pins and SO on.
The bath blanket of flannel, a strip
about 40 inches long and "a inches wide,
is a practical aid in giving the child it's
all over washing. The edges are seal
loped and pinked or worked in button
hole stitch. When laid across the lap Of
the nurse, it absorbs water readily and
protects the little body from chill after
leaving the bath.

syth and Hitzrot CHARLES HOLSTER.
Princeton has an array of pitching talent
which is very formidable. Williams does
we'll as catcher, Otto is a clever first base
man, and Bradley and Ward cover right
field and third base in good style. A]togeth-
CT the team is the best that has represented
"Old Nassau" since 1891.
The University of Pennsylvania team is
playing good ball this year. In a recent
game with the Philadelphia League club
the varsity boys won handi]y by score of
70 to 8. The Pennsylvania pitchers, Dick
son and Schoenhut, did very creditable
work and held the League men down to
five hits The team is captained by Charles
HOLSTER, medical student. He played
third base last year, but is now at short
stop. He is an extremely hard and safe
batter, runs bases we'll and is a steady field
er of average college ability. Coogan as
catcher, Thomas, Reese and Blair in the
outfeld and Contrell, Goeckle and Blake}y
on the bases all do very good work.

Remarkable Cross Country Running.

The most sensational championship in
the history of Irish cross country sport took
place over the Clonskeagh course, near
Dublin, recently and resulted in tie be-
tween the two leading teams. Another
unique feature of the five mile contest was
that the first 10 men past the post all broke
the previous best record of 81 minutes So
seconds, made by Champion Frank Nunns
over Baldoyle course in 1884. J.J. Mullen,
Elysian barriers, was the hero of the race
He bounded to the front when the pistol
cracked, and drawing away at every stride
reeled off the six accurately surveyed miles
In 80 minutes 40 Is seconds. His team az
gregated 81 points, but the Belfast barriers
fought out the issue so keenly that their
score made precisely the same total. The
northern cracks showed exceptional team
training. J.Small carried their colors into
second place 81 As seconds behind the win
ner, while J. McIlvenny, last years cham
pion, ran fourth.

Hints on Baking Pies.

In baking all pies where the contents
are apt to soak into the undercrust, like
a lemon, custard or pumpkin pie, it is
better to put on the lower crust first and
bake it half done and then add the GUS
tard or other soft filing. But that the
pie crust will raise in great waves and
leave no shell is all objection offered to
this plan. That is true if the pastry is
put on as it usually is. The pie plate,
which should be a tin one, is first lined
with the pic crust and the crust is re-
peatedly pricked to prevent it's putting.
Then it is brushed over with the white
Of an egg.

park pays OF the Ancicn,s

Among the many dark days record
ed by the ancients, and the causes of
which we can only conjecture, are
those Of the year "A B. c., about
the time of the death of julius
Cesar, when the sun was paler than
usual for whole year. In the year
$50 A. d. there was a day so dark
That in all the eastern provinces of
the Roman empire the stars could be
seen at midday. An effort has been
made to connect the latter record
with an eclipse, but neither the
eclipse OF March nor that of Aug
2S, in the year $50, was visible in
those countries.
1t is recorded that on the Goth of
September, 1881, the sun turned
black for three hours, and that for
days afterward a peculiar greenish
hue was observable in the sunlight.
The 4th, 5th,' and 18th of February,
1106, were unusually dark, and on
D the 5th stars were seen at midday.
Kepler mentions the 22d, 23d, oath,
and 25th of April, l54s, as being dark
days, with the so often accompanying
circumstance in these accounts of
stars being visible at noon.
1t is almost useless to speculate as
to the causes of the dark days last
mentioned. The accounts are prob
ably exaggerated, and in any case the
records ale too inaccurate and incom-
plete to render any explanation adj
visable The terror which all such
experiences produced was fatal to a
scientific description.

wheat from West Siberia.

The State Department has report
from our Consul at St Petersburg
dealing with the probable effect of
the opening of the Siberian railroad
on the wheat supply Of Europe. Con
sui General Jonas thinks that from
West Siberia alone at least 5000, 900
bushels of wheat viii be brought into
market by this railroad, and that the
completion Of the line will so stimu-
late wheat raising as to make the
probable shipments from that section
in succeeding years much greater
Immense crops are now raised in
those Siberian districts which are
nearest European Russia. In three
of these districts, Tobolsk, Tomsk
and Yenisulsk. the surplus for export
was over 30,O00,000 bushels in 1889
and has been enormous in each year
since. There are sections of Siberia
which will be made accessible by the
new railroad which are better adapt
ed to wheat raising than those fertile
districts and the quantities TO be
marketed will probably increase
yearly. There is no encouragement
in these estimates to American wheat
growers who are hoping for higher
prices. Nothing can lift wheat prices
so long as the world raises each year
millions of bushels more than it can
consume Springfield Republican.
