WORLDS RECORDS.

Four worlds records were
broken Sept. 2. in Bayonne, N. j.
by athletes Of the New York Ath-
letic Climb, who will be matched
against the London Athletic Club
next month. "Tommy" Connect,
the famous little Irish runner, won
the special one and a half mile
race in time that lowered the re-
cords for the one and half mile
and won the one and a quarter
mile distances. The previous re-
cord for one and quarter mile
was :49, made by w. j. Day, and
Connect reached that mark in
5 :3S As.
The one and a half mile record,
made by Sid Thomas, of London,
in 1893, was 6:53 3.5, and Connect
finished the race in 6 :46 2.5, beat
ing Bean, of Boston, and Orion, Of
New York.
Mitchell, in the 56-pound weight
exhibition, beat his own and the
worlds record, making distance
of 80 feet 101 inches.
The other worlds record es-
tablished was for the high jump,
in which M. J. Sweeney cleared
the bar at 6 feet so inches, an
eighth of an inch higher than the
previous record, 6 feet 5 inches,
also made by him.
Great things were expected OF
Crum, the western flier, who was
matched against Lee, Stage, Good
win and Wefers in the 1O0-yard
dash, and he won the event in a
fine burst of speed at the end, but
in the ordinary time Of 10 10.
That his speed was not greater
may be accounted for by the fact
that he was not harder pressed or
that he competed in Chicago
and has been travelling east
since then. In the first trial heat
of the 100-yard dash Wefer beat
Crum by few inches at the tape,
in 10 1-5 seconds. The western
man had evidently bit Of speed
reserved for the final. Goodwin,
of Louisville, KY, won the second
heat from Tommy Lee and was
made an equal favorite with Crum
for the final. The Kentuckian's
friends were doomed to disappoint-
ment, as Goodwin, after leading up
to the 90.yard mark, was passed by
Crum, Weiers and Lee, who Ansh-
ed as named, Crum winning by 6
inches, while twice that distance
separated Wefer and Lee.

so you will be good enough to step up
stairs, the pair of you, and change your
clothing for such as we can furnish from
our store. +"
And up stairs we were forced to go,
and thus being stripped we were given
such dirty fine rags and SO grotesque
that when we came down Jack Dawson
and Moll fell a-laughing at us, as though
they would burst, and in truth we made
most ludicrous spectacle, especially
theSdsE -1sEan hitherto we had seen
only in the neStest and most noble of
clothes, looking more like a couple of
scarecrows than living men.
Don Sanchez neither smiled nor
frowned at this Treatment, taking this
misfortune with THE resignation of
philosopher, only to quiet Dawson's
merriment he told him that in the
clothes taken from him was sewed up
bond for e200, Vat whether this was
true or not cannot tell
And now, TO bring an end to this adj
venture, we were taken down the intri-
;cate passes of the mountain in the
moonlight, as many of the gang as could
find mules coming with us for escort,
and brought at last to the main road,
where we were left with naught but
what we stood in (save Moll's two
pieces), ard robbers bidding us their
adios with all the courtesy imaginable.
But even then, robbed of all he had
leven to the clothes off his back, Don
Sanchez's pride was mistaken, for he
babe us note that the very thieves in
Spain were gentlemen.
AS wo trudged.along the road toward
Rayellos, we fell debating ON our case,
as what we should do next, etc., Don
Sanchez promising that we should have
lredress for our i'll treatment; that his
name alone would procure us a supply
of money for our requirements, etc., to
lmy great content. Dawson was Of an
lother mind.

stung by a bee, and the wisest course
when you've been once hit by dog is
to keep out of his way for the future.
With respect of getting money by you,

and SO may you, Kit, if you're SO mind.

in the fashion Of this country. And sc

your mind to lay aside your fine airs and
hold up your nose no longer as if yoU
were too good for your father"
"Why, surely, Jack, says I, "yor

''Not !, and you should know me vel
enough, Kit, to have no doubt ON thai

THE PARROT GOT EVEN.
He Was Very Tired of Standing by Jones
and Changed His Remark.

There is one member of congress whose
wife owns an intelligent parrot, which she
brought from Mexico, and whose talking
talents she has developed with great as.
siduity and no little success. OF course
Jones-that's not his name, and the nom
de guerre stands merely for convenience
sake as the name Of the congressman re.
ferred to-Jones was candidate for re-
election in November, and. foreseeing his
triumphant vindication at the polls, affec-
tomato Mrs. Jones specially trained her
parrot to shout "Hurrah!' till the win
dows ratified whenever Jones' name was
mentioned In his presence. On the even
ing of the election she arranged to have
the bird hung In the reception room,
where her husband was going to receive
his friends and also the returns. With
fond expectancy she looked for the news
to come that her husband had been elect
cd by a stunning majority and the parrot
shouting in the wild frenzy of his bound
less glee, ''Hurrah for JonesP'
Alas, that the best laid plans of men
and mice gang aft aglee! When the fate
full moment came, distressed messenger,
with flushed face, and disheveled hair,
burst into the sitting room with the an
nouncement, YOU'RE beaten, JonesP'
1t was the parrots Cue, and he hadn't
forgotten his careful training.
"Hurrah for Jones!" shouted the green
imp on his perch, and everybody in the
room stood aghast at the audacity of the
biped.
Mrs. Jones was the first to show sign
of animation, and it manifested itself in
volcanic eruption of temper directed
against that cute and innocent Mexican
parrot, which effectually put quietus on
his exhilaration. The poor bird covered
in corner. In half an hour the tide had
changed.

messenger.
"Shout, Polly, shout!" cried Mrs. Jones
in transport Of delight.

look of disgust.

Any one who has ever had an attack of
inflammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with Mr.. j. A. Stumm, 800 Boyle Heights,
Los Angeles, over his fortunate escape
from a siege of that distressing ailment.
Mr.. Stumm is foreman of Merriam's con-
fectionery establishment. Some months
ago, on leaving the heated work room to
run across the street on an errand, he was
caught out in the rain. The result was
that when ready to 60 home that night he
was unable to walk, owing to inflamma-
tory rheumatism. He was taken home,
and on arrival was placed in front Of q
good fire and thoroughly rubbed with
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. During the
evening and night he was repeatedly
bathed with this liniment, and by morn
ing was relieved Of all rheumatic pains.
He now takes especial pleasure in prais-
ing Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and always
keeps bottle of it in the house. For
