EIoquently Sentenced.

North Dakota's Col. Plummer was in
st. Paul the other day telling stories.
He tells one about judge that was shak ken
from North Dakota to Mexico, and the peo-
pie down there, who tired of conducting
their own hangings, gave him welcome
and filled him up seven times a week. One
night, after playing poker all night on the
losing side of the table, he walked into
the court with his hair pulling. He made
up his mind TO surprise the Mexico boys.
There was poor greaser to sentence for
murder and he let him have all he knew
right and left for an hour and wound up by
saying:
"But hope is not for you. For you the
Zephyrs will not successfully combat the
ice king; the prairie will not endue its
carpet of glory, and the little brook will
never go singing and bounding on lis way
to the sea for the delectation of your soul;
never again will the mountains assume
their green crowns and blossom for you,
Jose Marie Jararo, for"
He looked about him and saw the crowd
in court was staring at him wild-eyed;
they had never heard him in that strain
before. Most of them thought he had gone
mad.
"This won't do" he thought to himself.
'These people will think i am crazy. III
ct 'em down easy" He fixed his eye
again on the prisoner.
'.These things are not for you, say; for
Jose Marie Jararo, you will not be in it.
1t is the sentence of this court that on next
Friday you be hanged by the neck until
you're dead-cuss your Mexican hider'
There was a sigh of relief from the
crowd. The judge had saved himself by
a timely return to the vernacular. And Col
PluplIner's auditors were SO wrapt up in

IN A KANSAS STABLE.
Wealthy Young EnRlIshmen Beginning
Their Turf Studies There

All the young men who recently arrived
here from England for the purpose of learn
| Ing the American art of developing speed
In race horses have been located satIsfac
torlly nhorsefarinsexcept SamuelEstridge
the captain of the company, who is still ii
the city, says Wichita correspondent.
| Mr.. Estrldge is the nephew of Lord Onley
and the son of one OF the leading Episcopa
divines of England, who owns broad acres
q magnificent home, yacht and many
(, other evidences of prosperity and ease in
the vicinity of Southampton. The young
man was recently graduated from Win
| chester College, fundamentally well equipped
for the world.
Mr. Estridge's companions are j. Nc
Caskill Steele, sou Of the most eminent
physician of the West of England; W. w
Heating, OF WestIneath. Ireland; Gordon
Eldrid, OF Derbyshire. and Thomas Scruby,
OF Devoushire. Mr.. Steele is a graduate
of Clifton College, and touches at least one
elbow with nobility. Mr.. Heating lisa branch
Of the Irish historians family, the son OF
an Irish magistrate, and u graduate of
Trinity College, Dublin.
Mr.. Eldrid was educated In Australia,
where his father held colonial position.
Mr.. Scruby is a branch OF the noble house
of Courtney and waseducated at Cambridge.
Twenty-six others came with them as far
as New York, where they separated. going
in blocks of five to as many different horse
centers in the United States.
These young men are all fine types OF
English sportsmen. They will remain in
this country two years, gaining practical
knowledge OF the horse business. They
have obtained positions in the stables OF
wcll-known Southern Kansas horsemen and
have commenced work at the very foot
of the ladder. They maintain their head
quarters at the Carey Hotel of this city.
The young men are here as the volun-
teers of a turf club whose headquarters
are No. Al Victoria street, London. The
club is not only backed by plenty of
money, but by the patronage of the Prince
OF Wales. The aim and object of the
club is 10 encourage pacing and trotting
races in England. The sentiment there
for track races is growing very rapidly,
ana IL is said would make still greater
progress were ii not for the fact that bion
has comparatively no knowledge OF de-
yeioping uotting and pacing speed in
horses.
THE Englishman has always ia ken to
the horse that raised his leg high and
brought it down about the same place"
said Mr.. Estrldge. I'VE propose now to
find and propagate class OF horses that
Will throw their feet forward and throw
space behind them without making SO
much noise aboutit.
Even If pacing and trottiDg races never
become popular in England, such horses are
needed for roadsters. The main ambition
of the Victoria Street Turf Club is 10 in
culcate in the heart of the Englishman love
for swift pacing and trotting instead OF
steepleciases. In Dublin there has been
built fine track, and pacing and trotting
are growing in favor there every day.
Similar results are noted in England. and
in London, where track on the
American plan is doing big business"

Won His Case.

New York, Jan. .9.--Thc celebrated
case OF ROundsman John w. Goodwin
against the police board, which was
the longest and most persistcntly
fought litigation in the annals Of the
police department, ended today by
the board reinstating Goodwin to his
former rank and paying him $4,000
back salary and 81 ,142 expenses for
prosecuting his suit. Goodwin got
his shield and it was pinned on him
again after an absence of six years.
In August, 1889, a carriage in Whicl
Goodwin and his wife were out driV

through his unfortunate pair with
Mr. .Boatncr, Il silver democrat from
Louisiana, that he was untrue to the
silver cause. and lie was defeated for
reelection by Judge Dixon in 1890.
1t is due to Mr. Carter to state That
he and his friends have always made
the claim that it was Il nlishnp that
might have happened to any other
man; that the vote in which silver
was interested came up unexpectedly:
| that Mr. Carter was bound by every
consideration OF honor to respect his
pair: that he Immediately telegraph

from the pair, and that at all times

The Montana Bird That Was Good for
Both Food and Ornaments.
One Of the most y0cased men with
his Thanksgiving dinner was Nal
colin Il. Nichols, the advertising
agent Of the Great Northern road,
says the St. Paul Call. Some time
ago one Of his friends, Col. Langley,
formerly general agent at Helena,
Montana, but now a prosperous
mining man Of that city, promised
Mr.. Nichols two of the famous gold
nugget breed Of turkeys grown in the
mining districts of the Rocky mount
ain country.
A few days ago the two promised
turkeys arrived by express. They
were killed and placed in the rcfrig-
orator for Thanksgiving. When the
servant girl was preparing them for
the oven she was. surprised to find
III their crops little pieces Of yellow
metal and pieces of what she thought
was glass. She Immediately called
Mr.. Nichols attention to the matter
and upon investigation he was great
" surprised that the little yellow
chunks were nuggets Of gold, and
what the servant girl thought were
pieces Of glass were fine sapphircs.
From the crop Of one Of tile turkeys
half an ounce Of gold was taken out
and thirteen sapphires. In the
crop of the other was one large
nugget in the form Of a horses head
and imbcdded in such a way as would
do credit to a diamond setter, was !;
brilliant pink sapphire that Woulc
weigh nearly carat. Also Other
nuggets were found along with other
sapphrcs that would weigh from {
half to two carats. One peculiar
thing is that the gems were so bril-
liant that they can be used for setting
without being cut.

and rubics have been found in TIT
