ball Players and Athletes.

The great wrestling match between Dan
Mcleod and Tom Mcmahon Of Detroit
will be decided this evening at the
Orpheum Theater. The contest, accord
ing to the agreement entered into by the
athletes. will be catch-as-catch-can, and
the conditions state that TO win Mcleod
must throw Mcmahon three times in one
hour of wrestling. The Scotchman, al
though in splendid condition, th oroughly
realizes that he has hard game to win.
and no better proof of his doubts OF win
uing can be had than the fact that he has
cautioned his friends not t. wager much
money on his winning.
Mcmahon. on the other hand, is very
con ntident of pocketing McLeod's money,
aud yesterday he deposited $3.50 with
James Chesley at the rate of S75 against
500 that he will not be thrown three
times in the hour.
The betting was very spirited last even
ing. Mcleod opened a tavorte at 500 to
$50. but a. the time of the closing of the
pools McMahon's stock took jump and
the betting closed with the men selling at
even money.

CHAPTER K.

HE lS ONE OF THOSE SEPOIS.
 The old fashioned house that had been the home of Miss Antoincttc Livcrmtre for many years stood amid spacious grounds. surrounded by dense shade trees, which almost hid it from view during spring and summer. With the coming of autumn, when the limbs grad ually lost their leaves. the antiquated building, which had been famous one during the early days of the century, and standing as it did on elevated ground near the outskirts of the small town formed one of the most conspicuous land marks of Ellenville
 Folsom Simpson, finding himself alone, gave his whole energies to trac- ing the mystery of the raiah's ruby. The vague intimations which be had thrown out to his friend, Max Manson were genuine i'll his mind, though based on such flimsv fancies that he daa'"nd it not worth while to attempt to explain them to him.
 When. however. during the course of the day he received the jubilant dispatch from his associate. he Was so certain of the nature of the mistake made by him that he promptly responded with the words given elsewhere. Wandering aimlessly. as it seemed. through the town. he managed to keep an eye upon the movements of Dr. MaidhOif; but so far as he perceived there was nothing suspicious about them. He went and came as his professional duties seemed to require, for he was generally busy man, most of his journeys being on foot, since they did not lead him beyond the limits of the town.
 Another and perhaps more interesting individual was Miss Evelyn Glider, who, as he viewed it, shared the mysterious secret with her family physician. So far as Simpson could ascertain, she never once left the big house which she had shared with her aunt so long. The fe- male servant came forth about the mid dle of the afternoon, bearing two letters in her hand. One of these was taken to the pOstoffice and the other left at Dr. Maidhoff's, who acted as if he was ex pecting it, for hardly had the woman reached out her hand to ring the bell when he stepped forth and took it from her. He stood at the door while he has tily read it, and nodding his head to sig nifty that it was all right disappeared within his office.
 That letter from Miss Glider is a summons for him to call and see her this evening on business connected with the rajah's ruby" was the shrewd guess of the watcher. ''and 1 must be on hand"
 Simpson had not forgotten that there was another individual in Ellenville who Sf ha int tod ff -foiy o~fn iI, this busiress. That was Arthur Fair child, credited with being the accepted lover of Miss Glider.
 The detective framed an excuse for calling at his office, but a disappoint ment awaited him. The lad there told him the young lawyer was out of town and was not expected back for several days.

THE FATALiSTIC TURK.
How He Braves Death at tho Holy City
of His Faith.

How Ho Braves Death at tho Holy City
of His Faith.
The accounts givea by the pilgrims
of the way in which cholera attacked
them are terrible in their grim fatal
ism, says the London Spectator. June
"a, two days before the Courban
Bairam, upward of one hundred thou
sand Mussulmans, Arabs, Turks and
Indians had gathered on the sacred
mount to hear the solemn address
which is delivered to those who wish
to become hadji. Many of these peo-
pie were in the most wretched con-
dition, and some had not even n loaf of
bread.
1t was here that the disease appears
to have struck them, like the blast of
a poisoned wind. When next day the
onward movement to the holy city be-
gan it was found that the ground was
strewn like q battlefield with the dead
and dying, and SO terribly virulent was
the type of infection thus crgcndered
that it was, says the account, impos-
siblc for any living creature to ap-
proach the place.
The authorities seem, however. to
have realized that something must be
done, and that the bodies could not be
left to rot. Accordingly, n Turkish
regiment was sent to perform the work
of burial and to remove any of the pill
grims who still lived. Never did troops
in the heat of battle receive com
mnnd more fraught with peril. The
risk, as it proved, was literally greater
than that OF facing machine guns, and
the moral effect was far more terrible.
There are ten men who will face
death to one who will face death
by cholera. Yet these Turkish sol
diers, with the fatalistic courage of
their race, obeyed as they obeyed at
Plcvna.
The battalion, when it reached the
mount, was seven hun,,r:;d strong.
After the work had 5evn done two
hundred men only remained to go bac,;
to the coast. Five hundred of the sol
diers had died of cholera. That is,
nearly thrcc-quarters of the regiment
perished in the work Of burial. No
doubt English troops would have been
upheld by many considerations-by re-
ligious feeling and by the instinct of
mercy. and they would, moreover,
have been well fed.
The Turkish troops probably felt the
sense Of pity very little, and their Off
GERS were almost certainly men with
anything but n high sense of conduct.
They acted merely from the most
naked sense of the duty of not finch
ing at q command. 1t was cl order
given from afar and from above, and
that and faith are to them all one.

ANIMAL FERTILIZERS.
A New Way to Provide Plants with Eiec-

A New Way to Provide Plants with Elec-
tricity.
A dead animal of any kind, fish, fowl
or beast, buried near the roots of e
fruit or other tree, will cause Won
derful growth, says Fosters Weather
Bureau. The animal substance does
not pass into the vegetable, but being
natural and q powerful generator of
electricity, increases the current that
passes from the atmosphere to the
earth, and thereby larger quantity of
support is drawn from the atmosphere.
You can grow good crop OF potatoes
on q brick pavement il moisture is re-
tanned and the potato vines are con-
nected with moist earth by copper
wires.
Commercial fertilizers do not enrich
the soil, do not add anything to it tina;
is Of value. The object sought in these
fertilizers IS to put the sod into a con
dition that will enable it to conduct
electricity. The electrical current
passes into the vegetable through it's
leaves. carrying with it the gross E,lt-
ter that goes to build up the vegetable
cells, and after that matter is deposited
in the vegetable the electric current
must have conductor through which
to pass to the earth.
WorE-out soils are poor conductors.
and TIC cc;ls used in the commercial
fcrtilizcr:,. which are little more than
acids and sand, pulverizc the dead soil
and cnlivca it for short time. Those
acid fertilizers are largely used in the
New England states and in the cotton
countries cast OF the MiSsiy;iDpi
But few people in the upper Missis-
sippi and the Missouri valleys ever saw
n commercial fertilizer. II science can
find something that will render worn
out soil n good conductor it will save
millions of dollars annually that is now
paid out for commercial fertilizers.
