The New York Press thinks that the
first cause of the present low price of
horses is bicycles rather than poverty. An
other cause, which takes great number
of heavy draft horses out of the market is
the general change from horse power to
electric power on street railroads.
James l.. Houghteling, of Chicago, the
founder of the Episcopal organization of
lay workers known as the Brotherhood OF
st. Andrew, is a prominent banker and
business man of that city. He is a grad
uate of Yale, and in spite of the fact that
his business cares are engrossing, does as
much work for the Episcopal church, of
which he is an enthusiastic member, as
many clergymen.

Cardinal Gibbons, who has Just been
visiting New Orleans, says: 81 am very
much impressed with the great improve
ment in the material condition of the
South since the war. Everywhere in that
section things have been much changed for
the better. l went direct through to New
Orleans without stopping off, but l could
not help noticing from the car windows
that the condition of the South had been
much improved. The railroads have grown
wonderfully and have developed the coun-

The kindly feeling of the South for the
North was apparent everywhere. North

North, and in the South they are being
rapidly obliterated."

The Railroad Gazette tells story about
a general passenger agent in Philadelphia,
or somewhere, who was wont to limit ex-
cursion tickets so closely that the passen-
gers had to be on the alert in surrendering
the return coupon as soon as they entered
the car for the return journey lest they
should turn to dust and ashes in their
hand. One day the G. A. P.s fish dealer
got stuck with one of those tickets (the
conditions being printed in very fine type),
and he determined to get even. So the
next fish delivered was carefully selected
for its very noticeable lack of freshness,
and, of course, the cook reported to the G.
p. A; but on close inspection the wrap
ping paper was found to bear, in small let
tiers, the following words:
In consideration of the reduced
price at which this fish is sold, it
will not be good after one hour
from the time of delivery

With furrowed brow and fading sight,

the magnificent cup that has for nun,D,
of years represented the whist champion
ship of the United States. Tho Chioagoans
were not looked upon as dangerous by .
number of other ambitious teams and n,
one seemed 10 believe that they could hold
their own against the strongest aggrega
tion of whist players ever assembled In the
United States
HoweyeE as tho games progressed Il he
came evident that Chicago was TO be an
important factor In the results. After Eve
days Of uninterrupted playing the Hyde
Park team was declared the winner, not
having been defeated in single game
The successful players comprising this
strong whist quartet are all as we'll known
In Chicago business circles az they are In
the world of whist. II. NJ. Rogers captain
of the team, Is the manager of stock car
company. He Is a comparatively young
student Of the game, but has during the
six years he has played developed into a
strong player.
The Chicago Tribune declares that John
Il. Mitchell Is without doubt ono Of the
best players i'm the country. He is natu-
rally Of an analytical turn of mind and has
brought this characteristic with great force
into his whist playing He has contributed
a great deal TO whist literature and Is
reputod TO be as well versed in the various
systems of arrangement OF play as any
whist player In the world. Mitchell is pri-
vate secretary TO the president OF the Union
National bank, Chicago.
X. l.. Parsons Is considered by his fellow
players as the strongest man of the team.
He has truly marvellous faculty OF "siz
ing up" his opponents capabilities. He Is
In the insurance business. Walker, the
fourth member Of the team, is an exccp-
tionally good all around player and splcu-
did man in team work. Shrowd in judg.
ment and always on the alert 10 profit by
his adversaries' errors, he makes a most
formidable antagonist at the whist table.
The cup Is "a handsome specimen of the
silversmith's art. 1t stands a little over Is
