HEROD 2:24 u.

Nestled snugly in the timber and about
mile from the village of Preston,
Mimi, lies Preston Stock Farm, the
property of NJ. T. Grattan and the home
of the Morgan stallion HerOd, who
when nineteen years of age took a record
of , PA. The books say he was fOaled
in 1866 and took his record in 1881, but
he was toaled year earlier, and his
owner has undisputed evidence substan-
tiating this statement. HerOd's youth
was not a happy one, and he grew to
his prime and past it in unappreciative
hands, trotting Il few races on cOw-path
tracks without systematic or intelligent
training, and beget.ing few toals each
year. No horse that ever lived grew
famous after this fashion, but worse was
yet in store for him. He was taken
from Wisconsin to Montana, and there,
failing to meet the expectations of his
owners, Mr.. Grattan got him for sing
ing an old song. The men who had
him heard that Mr. Grattan had a good
word to say for the stallion, so they sent
for him, allowed him to name his price
and terms and thus disposed of the horse
who, if he has not made his present own
or rich, has at least yielded him hand
some income. The old horse was enor-
mously big-gaited-far too big-gaited-
so Mr.. Grattan shortened him up with
rolling motion shoe, and when the
time came entered upon what proved to
be a successful campaign. This was in
1888, and the next year, when nineteen
| ing free-for-alls, defeated many good
! horses, and at Rochester took his mark
of 2:244. At Monroe, Wis, the old
horse finished his track career. He was
all and coming down the stretch at
better than "a 20 clip, when the man
with the distance-llag, hilarously joyful
at witnessing more speed than was ever
ting what he was doing, waved the bunt-
ing around his head. The old horse
half SHE'D, and though he finished the
last circuit of the course in :09, he had
strained something and was next day
shipped home. An instance of his Nor
gan courage may be given. At Prairie
du Chen he was in the free-for-all, ant
a well-planned combine had prevented
him getting ahead. 1t was do or die

THE POET SWlNBURNE.
He Still wooes the Muse as Assiduously as
of YOre.
Chicago.

Since 1861, when Algernon Charles
Swinburne published his first volume,
THE Queen Mother and Rosamund," the
years have been very few in which he has
not issued one or more books Of some kind,
either poetry or prose- and the total num-
Der of his volumes certainly exceeds the
number of the years that have passed since
then. That the world of ideas has been
greatly enriched by his writings probably
none but a;cctics will deny, though it is
likely that all but his most enthusiastic
admirers will admit that modern literature
would not be greatly Impoverished if some
of his work were suppressed
Controversy has r 4 about him re-
gardlcss cf the feet TIT it is vet too soon
to define his place in the temple of fame
and the word -WihbuInoun' has been
used in praise or rcprolch according to the
bent of the person who used it. With that,
however, sketch like this can have moth

ing to do beyond admitting that the adj
icctve is expressive of a strong pcrsonali-
ty that has had potent influence on the
thought of the past three decades, whether
for good OF i'll must be left for the future
to decide.
1t is not likely that the verdict Of the
future will rank his latest volume, As
trophol and Other POEMS just publish
ed, with Mr.. Swinburne's best work,
though it shows his command of the YER
bal and material resources Of English to
be as complete as ever, and that as AN ar
tifcer of words he has not deteriorated
Advancing age has affected his Tyre as lit
tie as it has his personality, and neither his
poems nor his picture seems to warrant
the belief that old age is upon him.
Age is largely II relative matter, and Mr.
Swinburne may lawfully be considered as
young as hc looks and feels, despite the 81
years that have passed since his birth in
London in the year of the coronation of
Victoria. He is IA bachelor too, and it is
advisable that he keep young as long as
possible. He makes himself as comfortable
as bachelors love to be in mansion called
The Pines, at Putncy, where his house
mate is Theodore Watts, "a brother poet.
Mr.. Swinburne comes of an old Northum-
berland family. His father was Admiral
Charles Henry Swinburne and his mother
Lady Jane Henrietta, daughter of the
third earl of AshburnhGm. The poet stud
led at Oxford but left the university with
out graduating.

Removal of the State Building at the
 Worlds Fair to Savin Rock.

Removal of the State Building at the Worlds Fair to Savin Rock. The removal of the Connecticut state building at the Worlds fair to Connecti- cut is the idea of James D. Dewell, the prominent New Haven merchant, who has formed syndicate of moneyed men for the purpose A lot 800 feet square has bought on the Waddingham strip on the | shore, inst little west of Savin Rock The building will be re-erected near the shore and will face the east as it did in Chicago. The site selected Is one of the most historic in the state. It is very near | the spot where the British fleet which par ticipated in the invasion of New Haven in l779 was moored at anchor. Just in the rear of the site the electric road is to be built from Savin Rock to MerwIn's Point will run and 1t k believed it will be in readiness to carry passengers to the Con necticut building this summer
 The nails, screws and other fastenlngS will be removed in such il manner as to not damage the materials, which will be put together and the house made aS good as when first completed Tn Jackson park. It will require train of ten to twelve cars to remove the material to Woodmont, whence they will be carried to the shore. It Is eX- pected to require four months in which to take down the building and re-erect 1t. Very little will be lost save the plaster on the walls.
 The New Haven Register estimates that Il will cost between S25. .0O0 and S3O, ,0OO to place the building on its new site and make the improvements.
 Contractor George Tracy. William Strickland, Joseph Tessier Victor Myrand and Frank Smith left on the 2:1O train on the New England road this afternoon cn route for Chicago to commence the work of taking down the building.

 Anfifriction Materials.

The idea of using for machinery bear ings some material developing only lit tie friction when worked dry and with out oil is not one of recent date only, but may be said to go back to the time of the Romans, as some of the hand flour mills found at Pompeii have the lower stone fitted with an iron bearing which evidently worked dry in the stone socket of the upper stone. l believe the wooden axles of wagons which are used in some parts of England at the present time to transport heavy Srindstones from the quarries are constructed with axles of oak in a similar manner. Throughout Egypt, in the Nubian water wheels, which are everywhere employed for irrigation, unlubricated wooden bearings are used, which appear to wear very slowly, the surface of the bearing acquiring fine glaze. Stone bearings have also been employed for shafts.
 In addition to these oilless bearings there are others in which perhaps a small quantity of grease might have been employed, such as the leather bushes used in spinning wheels and the leather band on that part of the oar which works in the rowlock may be quoted as an instance of leather work but the cnly kind which has survived tC the present and has been the most sue cessful of all is the plumbago bearing. -Killingworth Hedges in Cassier $ Magazine.

SUED FOR $500.

\ New Haven Woman Brings an Action
 Against the Connecticut Indemnity As
 sOciatiOn.
 Miss Jessie Mesham of New Haven has brought suit for $500 against the Connecti- cut Indemnity association of this city. Some time ago the Indemnity association insured Mrs Isabella Williams, a sister of Miss Mesham. The policy was for $1, 900 and Miss Mesham was named as benei- ciary. Upon the death of Mrs Williams, Miss Mesham alleges. George c. Hastings, the general agent of the company, and J. c. Coles, a New Haven agent, called upon her and stated that there were some sus- pious circumstances in connection with Mrs Williams death quoting Dr Converse of New Haven as authority for their claim. Miss Mesham settled with the company for S4O0. Now she states that Dr Converse denies the statements accredited to him by the company's agents and has instituted suit to recover $500.
