HORSE SHOW LAST NIGHT
Hazards Pavilion Crowded With Inter.
ested Spectators
ihree VICIOUS Animals Furnish . Thrilling
Entertalnment-An Were subdued
Ia Short Time

An immense audience was in atte nd
ance at Hazards pavilion last night to
witness the performance of Professor O.
r. Gleason. in tanning a mum ber of wild
and vicious horses. The first animal
tandled was an ug!y-tempered stallion
owned by d. F. Donegan, and which
had not been driven for five years. While
waiting in the stall before the perform :
ance began the horse manifested his
temper by wildly kicking about and driv.
ing the attendants from the stable. It
only took the professor few moments TO
have him completely under his contro l.
He first used a pistol, firing it several
times as the horse struck at him, nfter
which the usual tests of Haunting umbrel-
las, beating tin pans and exploding fire
crackers were kept up until the animal
paid no attention to them.
The second subject was a more lively
one. From the very start he exhibited
tendency to knock out everything within
reach of his airy front feet. He had to
be thrown repeatedly before he would
surrender, and oven then he gave hard
fight After preliminary skirmishng with
noisy din and huttering of flags. the
harness was put on and the horse oriven
about the ring with perfect ease. Bein 6
then put to the wagon he was as we'll be-
haved as Deacon Browns old nag.
The real sport of the evening began
when the third kicker was introduced.
He was beautiful thoroughbred horse.
with high-strung nerves and a disposi-
tion not TO be trifed with. He made his
debut with a series Of lofty kicks and he
kept his heels in the air most of the
time tor half an hour. The usual
remedy Of tying up one front leg was
adopted. but the spirited brute put thu
ordinary Texas bronco to shame with
the three feet that were free. He literally
stood on one foot. while his two hind
ones were seeking some imagined object
in midair. A string of tin pans was
attached to his tail. upon which he play
ed the tattoo, while rushing wildly abou |
the ring.
When the horse had been given the
usual treatment applied by the trainer in
such cases he was driven in the harness
and afterwards in the wagon without the
slightest inconvenience and was finally
led away apparently as gentle as Il dove.
During the course of the evening papers
OF attach ment were served on Mr.. Glea-
son and $500 of the gate receipts held by
the sheriff, pending the settlement of
the suit in the superior court in which
Henry c. Belt is seeking to obtain for
felt from o. r. Gleason for mis- alleged
failure to SO break horse as to enable
the owner to drive him to San Pedro.

TOOK STRYCHNINE
A Frenchman Gets Despondent and Commits
Suicide

Frenchman Gets Despondent and Commits
Suicide
An inquest was held at Wilmington yes
terday by Coroner Campbell on the re-
mains Of man who had committed sui
eide by taking strychnine. The man
had been in the town only three days.
He was a Frencbman by birth. Thurs
day evening fellow countryman found
him on the wharf, apparently in great
suffering. He was taken to house near
by, occupied by Frank Gimie, another
Frenchman. Here tho sufferig man stated
that he had taken uose OF strychnine,
and that he wanted to de. He had had
family troubles and could not get any
work, so he thought the best way out of
his tIouble was to take his life. The
dying man begged for a knife with which
to finish the work of the poison. An at
temp pit was made to summon medical as
sistance, but the man expired in great
agony before the doctor reached him.
No one could be found in Wilmington
to identify the remains, but in one of
the pockets of his clothes was found a re-
csipt for poll tax for 1895, made out to
Alfonso Fesquin. 1t had been dated at
Jerome, Ariz., and as the deceased had
recently come from that section, it is
probable that the name on the receipt
was his.
A verdict was rendered in accordance
with the facts.

to furnish the evidence as to the per-
petration of crime and by whom. They
are only supposed to deal with the crime
and not with the person. They are sup
posed to follow clews, no matter in what
direction they may lead. In the Durrant
case the detectives should be quite as
alert to follow clew which points to
some other person than Durrant as the
murderer of Minnie Williams. Instead
of this they have concentrated all their
energy upon his conviction, to the exclu-
sion of all other evidence.
AS between the efforts of the detectives
and the policy of the San Francisco
papers there is little TO choose. The end
to be reached by them, evidently, is the
same-the conviction of Durrant rather
than an honest, unpreiudiced effort to
discover who murdered Minnie Williams.

Will this prove to be a setback to the
aspirations of the new woman? The last
London health report states that ''the ex-
pectation of life, as insurance actuaIies
call 1t, is in the ratio of 54.43 to 50.S7 in
favor OF females. That is the average ex-
cess of feminine longevity as compared
with masculine. The difference is at
tributed to the greater mental and phys
ical strain upon the bread winner. Now
the question arises, will the new woman
be willing, for the sake of running things,
to let that excess OF longevity flop over
TO the masculine side?

The shipments OF boots and shoes from
eastern points tor the first two weeks of
the month of Auugst amounted TO more
than 100, 900 cases more than for the same
period of last year. AS shoes are now
shipped each case will average to con-
tain thirty-six pairs. This means al in
creased production of over $500, 600 pairs
of boots and shoes during the first half of
the month. This is IN the face OF an ad-
vance in the cost of footwear amounting
in the cheaper grades to over 80 per cent
The condition of the shoe trade ought to
demonstrate pretty clearly the improved
trade conditions of the country.
