Inhabitants of Mars.

An ingenious writer has decided
that the inhabitants Of Mars are
about three times as big in every
way as the earth man. He argues
thus: "If he were on earth he
would weigh 81 times as much as
the human being, but on the sur
face OF Mars, since gravity there is
only about one-third of what it is
here, he would weigh but nine
times as much. The cross section
of his muscles would be nine times
as great. Therefore the ratio Of
his supporting power to the weight
he must support would be the
same as ours. Consequently he
would be able to stand with nc
more fatigue than we experience
Now we consider the work ht
might be able to do. His muscles
Having length, breadth and thick

ness, would all be n times as eff
fective as ours. He would prove
q times as strong as we, and could
accomplish ~ times as much.
But he would further upon what
required, owing to decreased CRAWL
ty, but one-third the effort to over
come. His effective force, there
fore, would be 81 times as great as
mans whether in digging canals
or in other bodily occupation. AS
gravity on the surface Of Mars is
really a little more than one-third
that at the surface of the earth the
true ratio is not 81 but so; that is
a Marian would be, physically
50.fold more efficient than man.

Testimonials Manufactured
for the Occasion.
General Manager Frey OF the
Atchison has discovered a new
method OF manufacturing testi-
monials for would-be employees
and those who want reduced or
Jree transportation because of their
alleged employment by railroads.
He has found that some one In
Columbus, o., is issuing legal SER
vice letters Unfortunately, stat
ing that the bearer is or has been
in the employ Of the Atchison. In
one case the letter could be used to
get employees rates and in the
other it shows the bearer has a
clear record and voluntarily left
the service Of the Atchison. The
letters are usually forged in the
name OF one OF the Atchison's
master mechanics. Many OF the
letters are manifestly issued to
cover up the record OF the bearer
during the American Railway
union strike last June. Mr.. Frey
gives notice that the official ser
vice letters Of the Atchison are in
entirely different form from the
forged letters, and asks that any
line receiving such forged docu-
ments take prompt steps to pro-
tect itself.-Ft. Worth Gazette

Should be
 Looked Into. THOROUGH INVESTIGATION
 REQUESTED.
A BOLD ASSERTION.

Ever since Prof. Koch startled the world by promising to cure consumption with the Koch lymph and his complete failure to do so the people have been looking for some discovery which would prove an absolute, certain cure for that dread disease. Over quarter of century ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, put in claim for a medicine, which he had discovered and used, i'll his extensive practice, that would cn,e ninety-eight per cent. of all cases of consumption when taken i'll all its carly stages. Time has proved that his assertion was based on facts gained from experience. His Golden Medical Discovery D has cured many thousand people ill all parts of the world and Dr. Pierce invites all interested to send to him for free book which gives the names, addresses and photographs of many prominent people who have willingly testified to the marvellous curative proper ties of his Golden Medical Discovery" He has also written Book of I6o pages on Diseases ofthe Respiratory Organs, (Which treats of all Throat, Bronchial and Lung diseases, also Asthma and CatarIh, that will be mailed by the Worlds Dispensary Med ical Association of Buffalo, NY, on receipt of six cents in stamps, to pay postage.
 Consumption, as most everybody knows is first manifested by feeble vitality, loss of strength, cancellation then local symp- toms soon develop, as eonPh, difficult breathing. or bleeding from lungs, when investigation proves that tubercular de. posits have formed in the lungs. It is earnestly advised that the Discovery " be taken early and the latter stages of the disease can thereby be easily avoided.
 To build up solid flesh aud si,eneM after the grip, pneumonia, c'lung fever ?, ex- hausting levers, and other prostrating dis. eases, it has no equal. It does not make faf like cod liver oil and its nasty com- pounds, but, solid, yhoiesome flesh.

time being 2;55, with the gray looking like he could go another mile without tiring. This was a greater finish than the sec ond, Prince leading to the wire.
 Here a little time was lost by Prince, owing to Gayles bad get away with Houses Fisher, who broke. Gafford. in the meantime, got good lead from Fies and went off galloping. Prince and his paeemaker, however, got away finally and soon closed up the gap, and the run around the circle was without further note. The finish was made in 3:20
 Gayle continued around in the sixth mile as pacemaker and F'ies again came up with Hustler, and the tramp around was finished in 315
 In the seventh mile Levi relieved Gayle with Fisher as pacemaker Gafford driv- ing Brown Dick. In this heat it was seen that Brown Dick was going his last mile and the interest began to wane, and the finish was listless in 3:25.
 When Gafford came in he demanded the fiea-bitten gray, Skip, as relief for Brown Dick to go the ninth mile, and the change was made by MT. House, were following after Fies with Hustler. The eighth mile was finished in BIS.
 The ninth mile was led out with Skip, much to the surprise of Prince and Levi, who knew nothing of the change. Around, however, they went, and when
  maker shied and Prince, blinded by dirt from the horses heels, ran into the wind splitter and was thrown heavily. He re- covered, however, and came in about twenty yards to the bad, though under fine headway.
 Flies was ready with Hustler and Gayle with Magic City for the final run, and amid shouts they were off, Fies leading by thirty yards. Around the turn Fies held Hustler back and in the stretch, Prince feeling the effects of his fall, Hustler came away in fine form. It was as fine a finish as one wished to see and the little circus horse came under the wire. one second to the good and winner, though many claimed the race for Prince because of the ringing in of Skip in place of Brown Dick in the ninth mile. The judges also thought the ninth mile race a forl and decided for Prince.
 It was great fun, anyhow. and all pres ent seemed to appreciate the pluck shown by Prince in making the run. The ten miles was made in 34:42.

To our personal knowledge from across the ocean, in far away England, they have learned Of his skill and fame and consult him. We be- honor always win. He stands at the head "a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author ity in the treatment of all private diseases. Birmingham may well be proud of him.

PRINCE AND THE HORSES Went Ten Miles Around the
 Race Track. SOME BRILLIANT FINISHES Prince Gets an Ugly Fall in the Ninth Mile. How the Race Ended Was
 Exciting

Owing to the heavy rain yesterday at- ternoon only small crowd went out to the fair grounds from this city to see the bicycle vs. horse race. few wis itors from Bessemer were also present.
 The race, though not what was orig inally advertised, was made, and MT Prince, the cycler, was beaten in the last mile by about one second. The race, however, was not really one of speed until in the last quarter and then was rather ene-sided owing to the track be- ing fearfully cut up by the horses and Prince receiving an ugly fall at the three quarter pole in the ninth mile.
 The accident to MT. Prince was occa- stoned by his pacemaker shying and he cilliding with the dust splitter. He was thrown heavily to the ground and bruised up, but regained his seat and finished the remaining mile and quar- ter in good shape, though nothing like he would have done, barring the acci- dent
 The challenge originally made by MT. Prince was to ride ten mles against three trotting or pacing horses. Owing to dis ability of two of the horses secured by the accepting party to the challenge, 1t was finally decided that two horses. should run in harness against the wheel man.
 The track, though perfectly dry, was not as we'll rolled as could have been desired, hence the bad condition of it af- ter the second mile.
 At 525h the word go was given, and MT F. H. Gafford, driving Lewis Brown Dick horse, crossed the line with MT. Richard Gayle driving his Magic City horse to the wind splitter, and MT. Prince close behind. The first mile was made in three minutes and twenty seconds, and was uninterestng, as neither of the horses were let out.
 Rex Fies, driving Houses circus horse, Hustler relieved Gafford in the second mile, but Gayle continued around as pacemaker, Magic City not yet having limbered up. The get away was good and the race was even until the stretch was reached, when an exciting flying finish was made all coming under the wire in a bunch midst shouts and cheers. The time was three minutes and five seconds.
 In the third mile Gafford again came to the front with Brown Dick, and the in- terest, owing to the brilliant finish of the second mile was increased It was clear ly case of physical vs. brute endurance, and every one saw that the last mile would prove the really exciting one. Levi relieved Gayle in this heat as pacemaker with his large fieabtten grey, Skip, and a skipper he proved to be- He went twice around the track, going the last mile in great form The third mile was finished in three minutes and twenty-five seconds.

AT O'BRIEN'S.

Considerable interest is being invested in the production of the Irish play, The Shamrock" which is to be presented in this city next Monday night, and which has had phenomenal success for the past three seasons in the larger cities. The cast is headed by the young actor-au- thor Mir. Edward Hanford, the cele- brated Irish comedian, sweet singer and dancer, assisted by Lindsey's comedians. One naturally believes when they go to see an Irish play that his eye must meet a threadbare subject of eviction and the usual quota. of Irish renegades, red coats, etc. But such is not the case with ''The Shamrock" The stage during the four acts is crowded with bright and happy scenes of Irish life. interspersed with pleasing songs and national dances with out the aid of the usual piper. Another novelty in the play is that there are no cliff scenes no evictions; in fact, noth- ing used in the average Irish play.
 Mr. Hanford is a clever song writer as we'll as an actor, and sings during the performance several of his own compo- stions entitled "Saddle-Ba sweet Little Rosebud, I'm Irish" Hanford's picture songs, and ",rhe Shamrock" A great production is assured.
