moral in the last three of six heats. This
race is famous for the quality Of the con
tests it has produced, and though 1t has
never been won easily the field of starters
that scored in the first heat was composed
of better horses than ever before started foI
the big purse and the race they trottcd
was tho best in the history of the event
The owner OF The Corporal, l.. E. Morse,
Columbus Neb., tells The Horscman
that the horse was bred by Marin Brown,
who bred the dam to Hambletonian
Prince when living at Waukegan, Ills,
in 1888. He enigrated to Nebraska, set
Ting in Osceola, where The Corporal was
foaled the next spring. He was not bro
ken to harness until 1858 He developed n
vicious disposition, and then, showing a
good deal of natural speed, was trained Il
little and started In q county fair race at
Osceola, which he won, taking q record of
1861, and his present owner, Mr.. Morse,
bought him that day. Last season he start
cd but twice, both times at Omaha dur
ing the September meeting winning on
each occasion. This year he has started
several times, winning every heat he took
part in until he reached Detroit, where he
caught a slight cold. Mr. Morse states
that he was not given as much work as he
needed on account of the cold and tho in
Jury and did not commence to trot in the
NJ. and NJ until after Geers got up behind
him

Metals That XIII Microbes.

Microbes have assumed 50 much impor
tanco in recent years, on account Of The
discovery Of their relation to many of tht
diseases which a1Ilict mankind that any
new observation concerning influences
that arc favorable or unfavorable to theil
existence possesses interest for all
Lately DIR. Meade Bolton in England
following out experiments previously be
gun by Others has shown that there are
certain metals which are capable of de.
stroying microbes in contact with them.
The microbes experimental with were
cultivated for the purpose in jelly, spread
on plate, and bits of metal were dropped
upon the jelly while it was still moist.
Any metal that had tho property Of ar
resting the development of the microbes
destroyed them, not only just under the
place where it lay, but for a narrow space
around it, The width Of this space varied
both with tho kind Of metal and the Kind
Of microbc.
Pure gold, when freshly cleaned and
FURNISHED, had no effect on tho microbes
Pure nickel and platinum, and few other
metals, also failed to affect the organisms
But cadmium, copper, brass, zinc and sill
yer destroyed them, the first named metal
especially, acting quickly and effectively.
DR. Bolton observed that the metal.
which affected the microbes were those
that are readily attacked by chemical re
agents, while those that resist such re
agents, Ike gold, had no effect From
this fact he concluded that the action upor
the organisms was duo to q solution of tn,
metals taking place in the jelly.-Youth'.

Bitters. Tested well where malaria is
prevalent in its most viruent forms, as where
it takes on milder guise, it has proved itself
to possess both a remedial and preventive

American continent, its success as a means OF

THE WRONG MAN CAUGHT
a Jealous Cop Misses Two Thieves, but
Captures Their Pursuer.

A man considerably over 6 feet tall,
with snow white hair, and wearing q frock
coat that reached below his knees and a
soft hat, rushed out of the office of an cleo
trio burglar alarm company of Brooklyn
about 3 O'Clock few mornings ago and
started down Fulton street at a lively pace.
After going about block and a half ht
stopped in front of II largo store, and,
CHANGING at the number, ran into the door
way and roughly shook the handles of the
big doors. Everything apparently was all
right there, for he darted around the cor
Ter. Just rs he did 50 two men, seeing
him coming on the run, jumped away from
door about half way down the block and
made off as fast as their legs could carry
them with the tall man after them in hot
pursuit.
The chase continued for about a block,
with the tall man gaining rapidly, when a
policeman turned the corner Seeing tht
three men all apparently running away
from some one or something, he made a
grab at the first two and missed them.
Then he grabbed the tall man and hung
on tightly, despite his struggles to get
away. When, after Il moment or two, he
had partly recovered his voice, the tall
man, pointing after the two men, who
were now mere shadows in tho distance,
exclaimed:
Don't bother about me; them's the
two. Quick, CT they'll be gone"
"Oh, don't let them two worry you, ,"
said the policeman. owe got you, and
I'll get them later
"Wcll, I'll be blankedl" calculated the
tall man. Say, do you know who l am?"

attempting to move on with him.

Don't put your hands on an officer OF
the law, or it will be worse for you, said
the policeman, getting excited.
''But m a special | work for the bur

"Nit," said the policeman. You +,
pretty good, but I've got few medals my

to open his coat, but the policeman inter
ruptcd him by DRAWN. his clsb and yell
ing:
Don't pull that on me, or I'll smash

"Pull WHAT" asked the tall man. ~ was
going to show you my shield" And then
be pulled open his coat, and there on the
lapel OF his wnistcoat was bright shield.
The policeman stepped closer and read the
shield, after which he held out his hand tt
the tall man to shake He hesitated for a
moment, but finally both hands claspcd,
and there was shake and laugh
Don't give this away, said the police
man, for I'm u green cop on probation "
"Oh, yes" said the tall man, you're
green, but I'm out FIVE
When asked by the policeman to explain
about the five, he said his company paid
70 extra for n capture. New York Sun.

1t is singular that, although tho fact that
porspiring is the only safeguard provided
by nature against sunstroke has appeared
in print hundreds and thousands Of times,
people are still on tho lookout fos some
thing to check perspiration, instead of in
creasing it. during intense heat, and the ex-
PLANTATION that nothing can DO safely used
for this purpose is accepted with very poor
grace by those to whom 1t Is given. 1t Is
dangerous to even check perspiration of
tho feet unless it Is very excessive, and
even then the remedy is apt to DO worse
than the disease. OF course this only refers
to pcrspiring during hot weather. Cold
swcats are never failing indication of In
tense weakness and ought to receive
prompt medical attention, says the St.

The threc prizes won by Miss Atkinson
the new lady champion tennis player,
were uncommonly handsome. In the
mixed doubles the iady's prize was silver
tea set of very handsome design. The prize
in the ladies' doubles was beautiful
wreathpin set with pearls, and in the sin
giles, in addition to holding the cup as
champion, she received an exquisite me
dallion pin of fine workmanship, set about
with scrolls of gold, studded with dia-
mondS and pearls. When the cup has been
won three times in succession, the holder
becomes its owner. This has never hap
pcned as yet, but Miss Atkinson friends
are hoping she will keep up playing until
she has secured the cup.
