Kaustic Komments on Events of
the Day.
An old sport especially interest
ed in horse racing and trotting
whispers a kick in an audible
voice. In his opinion our Jockey
club, like others, makes the mis-
take of offering prizes that are far
too small to attract the honest
owners of racing stock. The usual
prize for a winner is about 500,
and this does not pay expenses OF
the owner, groom and horse, to say
nothing of the dangers Of travelling
around, and the disadvantage Of
handicaps for tritiing winnings.
The result is that owners, who are
not out for glory or love OF sport,
but for the money that is in 1t,
find 1t often more to their profit to
lose than win, and manage to go
the way that is most convenient
and profitable, even though the
public suffer and kick when it is
too late.
While the silver dollar will buy
as much as a gold dollar men whis-
tie and laugh singing:
The gold bug raves 'gainst silver's coins,
The silver men are game:
Both take the all Of what they can,
And get there just the same.
Some peculiar and delusive mis-
takes will occur in the Associated
Press dispatches. One Of the recent

read: "The Right Hon. Arthur

 Tom Rush, a 10-year-old boy, was killed outright. Charles Chilvers had his skull fractured and was so badly burned by the acid that he died. Fred Robinson, Char lie Robinson and J. Munch were also burned by the acid. Mrs. Nancy Smith of Chicago, S4 years old, was thrown against the car and her nose broken The passengers were badly shaken up and bruised. Conductor Charleston of Aurora was injured in the back, and Brakeman William Farrell had a gash cut in his head. The engineer and fire man stuck to their posts and escaped. The engine cylinder head blew out and the escaping steam added to the deadly work of the acid. A switching crew had been operating on the track an hour be- fore the passenger train pulled in and had left a switch unlocked.

EAGLE WOMAN AT THE BOTTOM OF IT.
The Beautiful Indian Maiden Incites Deadly
 Feud,

Black River Falls, Wis. Aug. 17.-Jim Swallow, the slayer of George Black hawk, son of the aged Blackhawk and last male member of the long list of the ilustrious Indian chiefs, was discharged by Judge Barclay this evening, on the grounds of self-defense
 The origin of the trouble between the Blackhawk and Swallow families was a beautiful Indian maiden, named Eagle Woman. The feud will likely wipe the two families out of existence Blackhawk and Swallow settled their differences on the evening of May 15, on the outskirts of this city, in true Indian fashion, with hunting knives. Blackhawk died a few days after the encounter, while Swallow escaped unharmed. Old Chief Black hawk declares that the slayer of his son and legitimate successor shall forfeit his life according to the Indian code.

Delightful Summer Trip to the East.


 On account of the Triennial Conclave of Knights Templars at Boston, Mass, August 26 to 30, various railroad com panies have generously offered the Knights Templar and the public an eX- ceedngly low rate of one fare for the round trip. The straight one fare round trip rate requires that passengers shall go and return over the same route, while by the payment of a small difference a va riable route may be obtained. That is, going one way and returning another. A great many very desirable side trips may be taken advantage of at very small cost.
 This is undoubtedly the best opportuni- ty ever offered to the people of the south to visit all points of interest in the north and east at a nominal cost. Among the most interesting places that can be visit ed are Niagara Falls, Thousand Isles, Rapids of the St. Lawrence river White mountains, Chautauqua, Saratoga and other famous watering places of the east.
 It has been decided to put tickets on sale in Birmingham August IS, continu- ing until August 25. Tickets will be of sufficient duration to allow all arties time enough to visit the places mentioned.
 MT. Joe Frank of this city has made arrangements with the Louisville and Nashville railroad and its connecting lines to carry a special party on this oc- casion, and he will be glad to answer all questions pertaining to rate sleeping car accommodations etc.
 At this season of the year, a trip via Cincinnati is particularly interesting, ow- ing to the climate and the diversity of the country traversed.
 For any other informatio call on Mr Frank at his office, or call on or write R. F. Beasly, passenger agent Louisville and Nashville railroad.

 Do for You Without Charge.
 Doubtless hundreds of thousands of women all over the United States have seen Dr. Hartmans offer Tn the papers how he has undertaken to treat every woman suffering with any form of female disease who will write to him free of charge. He gives them valuable advice concerning many things they do not know, and treats each one as though she was his only patient giving her the same considerate attention and explain ing every symptom fully. To those who have not heard of this it may be said that Dr. Hartman is physician and sur geon of great renown in medical circles, especially in the treatment of those dis eases which women alone have to bear He has arranged to answer all letters that are sent to him from women trou- bled with any form of female weakness free of charge, giving the benefit of knowledge which has cost him 40 years to accumulate. The medicines he prescribes are within the reach of every woman and she can get them at any drug store All she is required to do Is to send her name and address, together with her symptoms, duration of sickness and age This offer holds good only during the summer months. Thousands of women are taking his treatment today, and are rapidly gaining in health.
 A medical book on female diseases will be sent to all who want 1t by the Peru na Drug Manufacturing company, Co., lumbus, O..

VENEZUELA IS QUIET.
Her Secretary of State Denies There Is An
 Revolution.

Revolution.
 New York, Aug. 17.-Among those who arrived here today on the steamer Phila- delphia from Puerto Cabello, Nicaragua and LaGuayra was Dr. Luivo Pulido, secretary of state of Venezuela. Dr. Pulido denied absolutely that there is any foundation for the reports to the effect that Venezuela is on the brink of revo- lution.
 "Our country" he said, twas never quieter than it is at the present time The crops are this year in better condi- tion than they have been for decade Cur people are comparatively in the midst of prosperity and know nothing about the uprising about which we read from time to time in New York papers.
 .I would add" said Dr. Pulido, that all liberal minded people in Venezuela are perfectly satisfied with the administra- tion of General Crespo."
 He verified the statement that the Venezuelan government had recently made concessions to an American syn dieate, and hoped and expected that the United States would assist and protect them. He also said there was no truth in the statement that a Venezuelan gun boat had fired upon a. British boat few days ago.
 Continuing, Dr. Pulido said. "Dr.Ra- joes Paul is, I believe, starting a revo- lutionary movement in Curacoca against the Venezuelan government, but he is having poor success in getting recruits, has made no attempt as yet to cross the line and in all probability will never do so."
 General Pulido said that the Venezu- elan government would never give up an inch of the territory claimed by B1it ish Guiana It consists of valuable gold mines property, of which large conces- sions to Americans have been made. Dr. Pulido comes here for his health. In a few days he will go to Saratoga.

I was amused when they said they felt sure every one in England lived in Lon don: that the country as they fods ai0iig seemed destitute of people until they reached London, then they saw a few; but, as I've remarked before, London is crowded with Americans. In fact the steamships can hardly handle the crowd. So our return Is most uncertain; at any rate, we are enjoying all we see and not very much concerned over our return.
