Wheatland was an easy second, six lengths
before BaRfield, third.
The first race was conceded a good
thing for Tinge, he being made q ] to 8
shot. Even at these odds he was played to
such an extent that ! to 10 was the
best obtainable against him at the close.
Golden Gate was the only thing played at
all to win, and very few people touched him.
Itwas Golden Gate clear to the lowerturn,
where he commenced to come back, and
Tinge coming on won the easiest kind of
race by length and q half. Golden
Gate beat Belden fully twenty lengths for
third money.
Two refused the issue in the second
event at a mile, leaving only four starters.
or these Pay or Play was made n decided
favorite. He opened even favorite with
Pekn at to 8, but was steadily played
TO even money, while Pekin receded TO 8

LED ALL THE WAY
To good start Pay or Play went out
in front and was never headed, landing a
clever race by a length before Pekin, who
came very fast in the stretch. Gold Dollar
was an easy third.
Petitioner ana Full Sea were the tips in
the third race, the former having first
call at the close, with CadiZ and Full Sea
next in demand, at 3 - 10 j.
Florene who was at 60 TO l. in the bet
ting, took the lead the first part OF the
journey, but could rot stand the pace and
soon resigned in favor of Himyarah, who.
well ridden by Reefe, landed a pretty
race by n short length. Florene dropped
back in the ruck, but came again in the
stretch and got second money from CadiZ
by a length and a half
Although his first time out, Ed Kearney
was made an odds or fayorite. The
bookies posted 8 to against him at
first, but he was backed so persistently
that 9 10 10 was the best obtainable at
the close.
Shields had Logan IN front nearly the
whole trip endlooked winner all over until
well into the stretch, where Solitaire crossed
him, ohliging him To pull up. This killed
his chances and he finished fourth. Ed
Kearney closed up lot of ground in the
stretch and was winner by a full length,
Solitaire second two before Factotum.
Pulitzer was the tip for the fifth race
and everybody played 1T toward the close,
when Canvas came out as the good
thing"

hammered and 3 1-2 to ! was the best price
obtainable most of the time
Lasotta went TO the front and raced his
head off to the lower turn, where Canvass
came on and steadily wearing him downwon
handily by an open length.
Plenty came fast at the close and ran into

THE RUSSIAN OIL FIELDS.

Details Respecting the Great Oil-Produc-
ing Regions in European Russia.
AT Baku, on the Caspian sea, petroleum
is SO plentiful that the streets have been
at tlmeS Watered, or, one ought to say,
oiled" by 1t, and it is applied in many
ways where water might be used. A
visitor to the place says he saw, where
q man was leveling a piece of ground,
that he poured petroleum over the earth
merely to soften it, so that he might
beat 1T down to a smooth surface.
Close to Baku, on the north, there is a
large promontory, the Apsheron PENN
Sula, mentioned in the foregoing dispatch,
is on this ground. Balakhani is toward
the north of this promontory, and the
wells, of which there are over 400, extend
over a large space. The copiousness of
the supply at Balakhani will be under
stood when it is stated that there are
$4,000 wells in America and altogether
the result of their flow is no more than
that of one of the wells on the promon-
tory.
The refneries are congregated together
along the shore, about a mile or so to the
north of Baku; they are known as the
Tcherni Gorod or BLACK Town." from
the clouds of dark smoke which always
surround the locality and the SOmber ap,
pearance of the place. As the oil flows
after dlstilling, its quality is tested in the
lily HOUSE. II Is lueu 10
another part of the works, where it has
to be purified; this is done in large tanks,
by means of sulphuric acid, which de-
stroys some minute vegetable substance in
the OIL After this process the oil is
ready for use
1t is not only on the shores of the Cas-
plan that the oil is found in this abun,
dance, but west of the Trial valley, about
the sources of the Plethora, is valley
which appears to be totally soaked with
petroleum. At every step the traces of
crude oil are noticeable; on the swampy
shores, on the surface of the rivers, in
pools, trickling down the hillS-eyery-
where the oil ooZeS from below.
The quantity of the Plethora petroleum
as far as has been possible to determine
is fully equal to the Pennsylvania and
Baku deposits. although the Plethora oil
wells may not show the force of election
of the other two oil regions. This fa,
vorable popularity is caused by the regu,
larity and horizontal position of the petro
leum-bearing strata. The quality is supe,
rior to that of the Baku petroleum, as
it Yields fully 40 per cent. of best refined
kerosene, 20 per cent. lubricants, 10 per
cent. intermediate oils. 3 per cent. gaso>
line, benzine, etc. and 20 per cent. refuse
for fuel, with only a loss of per cent
Highest quality of Baku crude yields only
33 1-3 per cent. kerosene but is higher in
lubricants and refuse for fuel

Cycle for Women.

After enumerating the various modes
of exercise available to women-Who
take, almost invariably, far too little ex-
ercise-Dr. Champonniere, the celebrated
French physician, pronOunces the bicycle
entails little eXertion; the effort is gentle
and the muscles are at no time in a state
of great tension.
All the muscles Of the body are
brought into play; the legs, and espe-
cially the thighs, are employed in propell-
ing, while the arms and shoulders are
braced against the handle bar and the
muscles of the back and loins have their
share in the work.
The respiratory muscles and those of
the thoraX are forced into action in order
to keep pace with the quickened move
ments of inspiration and expiration FL
nally, all the muscles Of the trunk are
brought into play in maintaining the
equilibrium of the wheel; and herein lies
the great superiority Of the bicycle over
the tricycle.
With the latter there is infinitely more
muscular effort and less harmony in
movement.
Although Dr. Champonniere says that
women will find the wheel a perfect
means of exercise, he sternly condemns
the idea of bicycle racing for women.
Scorching" by women, he maintains
cannot be too severely denounced. as
1T may lead to serious evils and ire
trievably injure the health instead of
building it up.

TENNESSEE'S HERB DIGGERS.
Peculiar People Who Are Well Versed
in Practical Forest Lore.

Hundreds of people are engaged in Ten
nesSee in digging roots and herbs and
gathering leaves, barks, nuts and berries
for the great pharmaceutical labora tories
They are known as the ''diggers' of the
state. The people who began the business
were born in the backwoods. Farming
afforded them only a scant living, fishing
and hunting were for sport, and every
time they operated a still the revenue
officers swooped down upon them with
handouts and warrants. A succession of
Jail sentences convinced them that it
was better to buy whisky than to make it
themselves. When they quit moonshin-
ing they had to discover some new way
to make enough money to keep them
selves going in backwoods style, which
means store clothes. red-topped boots, to-
bacco and plenty Of whisky for the men,
and snuff. calico and feathers for the
women. A druggist iii trouble supplied
the idea needed.
The old women of the digger districts
had always made decoctions, teas and bit
tiers from roots, herbs, barks and leaves
to allay all sorts Of ailments, but the idea
of selling the roots and banks had never
presented itself. Long Tom Harper was
a moonshiner in McNair county, and the
federal judge sent him to Jail for six
months at Memphis once. Long Tom
served out his term, and that Jail sen
tence changed many sinners into diggers.
Among other prisoners there was drug
gist who had been incarcerated for a
misdemeanor. The druggist asked Long
Tom about the herbs in his district, and
Tom told him all he knew. The druggist
proposed to go home with Long Tom
and gather roots and herbs for market.
Moonshining with a jail sentence was
not pleasing to Tom, and he was easily
induced to go into the new venture, for
the prospect of hard work didn't seem inn
minent. That was years ago. Long
Tom and the drug man dug roots and
herbs, stripped trees of their bark and
hauled bundles of it to the railway sta
tons to be shipped away. Toms neigh
bors began digging, too, and now they
dig all the year round in the best weather,
for some things can be gathered in winter,
although the greater part of their col
lections are made in the spring and au-
tumn. The men and women engaged in
the business know very little about phar-
macy or the way science distills the secret
juices of what they gather, but the bust
ness pays them. Correspondent New

THE AMERICAN Triple.
Soda Water is Claimed to be the Favorite

Soda Water is Claimed to be the Favorite
Beverage of the Country.
Let me tell you a thing or two about
the great American beverage" said John
q. Low of Boston, president of big tile
manufacturing concern, to a reporter at
beverage? Perhaps you'd say whisky, or
beer, but you'd be away wide of the mark
Soda water is what | am talking about.
and | speak advisedly when | call it the
great American beverage, for it has GER
tainly become the national drink.
In the first place it is a peculiarly
American tipple. I came across one
and, perhaps, in the rest of Europe there
may be a dozen. The amount of CAPT
tai invested in this trade all over the
United States is enormous, running so
far up into the millions that I'm afraid
to give figures. That it is lucrative
business goes without saying, for how else
could men afford to pay $4,000 and $4,000
for the huge and ornate affairs from
which the pleasing soft stuff is drawn
"A New Orleans man named May told
me that his yearly profits from his fount
ain were $4,000. One Sanders. a De
troiter, who owns an $4,000 fountain, the
finest displayed at the Worlds fair. does
rushing, business, and his sales run
from $500 to 500 per day, the year
round. In Buffalo, Stoddart Brothers
employ thirty girls to handle ice cream
soda. and it takes 5000 glasses to accom-
modate their trade. They sell it at 5
cents per glass, and there is net profit
of just 100 per cent. In Boston, Thomp-
sons Spa, the greatest soda resort at
the Hub, easily clears for it's owner 500
600 a year. There are in the United
States 100000 fountains in operation, and
manufacturers are getting more orders

CAN THE HEART BREAK?
Physicians Say Not, Yet the Imagination
Often Plays sad Franks.

Often Plays sad Franks.
Grief does not kill, and it is indeed
very seldom that heavy sorrow causes
death to anyone when in healthy con-
dition. 1t is, however. very often the in
direct cause of a death, either by bring
ing disease to . climax or by rendering
the sufferer more liable to its attack
If man is convinced that his grief is
more than he can bear, those who have
studied the matter agree that, through
the force of his own imagination, the
man will actually die from a broken
heart"
The great Napoleon was killed by an
internal disease, but it is supposed that
it would not have been fatal had not
his spirits been SO depressed through eX-
lie and defeat William Pitt, the orator,
is said to have died from a broken
heart" caused by his great grief at the
failure of his cherished hopes and plans
And there have been many other such
instances in the history of this country
When plaques are raging in a town, sta
tisticS show that as many die from
fright and imaginary causes as from the
real epidemic. so great a hold has the
fear of death on some people.
If man is condemned to be shot. ii
has often occurred that on the word
fire" he has dropped lifeless, although,
through accident or design, no bullet has
in reality left the gun.
There is a queer case on record con
corning the daughter of a celebrated
French novelist, who was deeply inter
ested in one of her fathers stories 1t
appeared in installments, and the heroine
was suffering from consumption. AS the
girl brooded over the sad fate of the
heroine she, too suddenly manifested the
same symptoms. A physician recon-
mended her father to restore the heroine
to health, which he did a few chapters
on, and at the same time as the girl in
the novel recovered, so also did his too
sentimental daughter.

WHEN THE WAR WAS OVER.
Deso1ation that Prevailed at the Close of
the Rebellion.

Desolation that Prevailed at the Close of
the Rebellion.
The war left the South in indescribable
desolation Great numbers of Confeder-
ates came home to find their farms sold
for unpaid taxes, perhaps mortgaged to
ex-slaves. The best Southern land, after
the war, was worth but a trife of its Old
value. Even city real estate was a drug.
Many their ruin rendered insane; in null
titudes more it broke down all energy.
The drawer spirits smen TO whom till now
all toll had been strange-set to work as
clerks, depot masters and agents of vari-
Gus business enterprises. High-born
ladies, widowed by Northern bullets, be-
came teachers or goyernesses. In the
comparatively few cases where families
retained their estates their effort to keep
up appearances was pathetic. One by
one domestics were dismissed; dinner par
ties grew rare; stately coaches lost their
paint and became rickety; carriage and
saddle horses were worn out at the
plough and replaced by mules. At last
the master learned to open his own gates,
the mistress to do her own cooking.
Upon the whites, in many communities,
kind of moral and social stagnation set
tied down, an unhealthy, hopeless acqui-
escence in the worst that might come.
Politics they long regarded with abhor-
renee, as the accursed thing that had
brought ON the war Whites as we'll as
negroes, drank recklessly. Few of any
class cared much for education.-Sc
