town of Geneva, in the southern part of
this county, was almost entirely destroyed
by fire. The flames were first discovered
in julius grocery store and spread rapidly
to adjoining buildings. The town has no
fire protection and owing to the drought,
all cisterns and many wells were dry. The
aggregate loss on buildings and stock will
reach over 100000.

BOTH HORSES WELL BACKED
Last Race Was Also a Great Event

Ataman's race with Eclipse yesterday
makes him very nearly the best horse
at the oss-the-riyer tracks. At even
weights he gave Eclipse a good beating
at a mile and a sixteenth in the fast time
OF so IA.
The race was one OF the best betting
races that has been seen at the meeting.
In the opening betting Eclipse was quoted
at to and was heavily played. Then
Ataman warmed up and the "railbirds''
came in ard got down on him with big
chunks OF money.
From then until the horses went to the
post it was first one horse and then the
other, Ataman finally closing favorite at
TO 8, with Eclipse at to 8.
Willie Ham got Ataman off slightly in
front, and, setting merry clip, made all
the running. Eclipse got off badly and did
not commence to move up until they struck
the far turn, where she came very fast.

He challenged Atamau at the head Of
the stretch, but between the latter's
gameness and speed and Hams superior

The whole card at st. Asaph was good
| yesterday, aud the only thing that marred
the sport was the long delays at the post.
| Flynn could hardly be held responsible,
as the set uf stable boys he has to handle
are about as bad as could be found in a

RIGHT OF SELF.PROTECTION.

One of the tramps who solicit for
aims on the street SO pertinaciously as
to amount to a practical holding up of
their victims, ran up against the wrong
man Thursday night aud received a
lesson he will not soon forget. When
James Smith. Scotcbman, rose in the
dock in Judge Miller's court Friday he
was sorry sight. His eyes were
nearly closed and his face mass of
clotted blood, says the Washington
Post. Smith and John Eckert of
Florida avenue. an athlete of the Car
rol Institute Athletic club. were
charged with an affray. According to
the testimony, as Eckert, and COM
panion were walking along Az street
Smith approached them and seized one
of the men by the arm and asked for
money.
"Why don't you 90 to the Central
Union missionp" asked Eckert.
''They don't give anything to Scots
there" replied the beggar who was SO

In an instant Smith was on the
ground. Twice more he went down.

Smith told garbled story of the
affair. and finally admitted that he
didn't remember much about 1t.

CATALANI AND GOETHE.

One Of the best stories told of Catalani
is associated with an occasion when at
Weimar she was placed next to Goethe
at fashionable dinner party, says the
Cornhill Magazine. Catalani knew
nothing of Goethe, but. being struck
by the fine appearance of the poet, she
asked the gentleman on her other side
what was his name. "The celebrated
Goethe. madame" was the reply.
"Ah. yes Pray on what instrument
ioes he play?" was the rejoinder
"He is not performer. madame: he is
the renowned author of 'Werter. ="
"Oh, yes. yes. remember" said
Catalani, and. turning to the venera BILE
poet. she addressed him: "Ah. sir.
what an admirer am of 'Werter' !"
A low bow followed in acknowledg.

laughing heartily. 1t turned out that
the lady had been talking all the
while of parody of "Werter. which
had been performed at one of the minor
theatres of Paris. But fancy the NOR

COMMON DANGERS TO THE EYES.

An eminent oculist declares that
typewriting has an injurious effect on
the eyes. The operator is obliged to
glance necessarily back and forth from
the KEY board to the shorthand notes,
and this is muscular exercise of the
most fatiguing sort. For this reason
ths oculist urges, it is desirable for
tvpewriters TO cultivate familiarity
with the keyboard similar to that pos
sessed by the accomplished pianist with
the KEY board of his instrument. so that
it will be necessary to look at the keys
as little as possible. While the injury
that may result to the eyes of hard,
working typewriter. who is not sure OF
her fingers and her keys. is not to be
regarded too lightly, it is not likely to
be near as searious as that resulting
from the practice INDUCED in by SO
many in these days Of railroad travel
of persistent reading on trains.
This practice is most trying on those

rare er rterprise has become possessed of
enough land to engage in cattle-raising
or fruit-growing. But the prosperous,
forebauded, middle class farmer is con-
spicuous by his absence. II is because
there is no such middle class. and be-
cause the country people are either the
owners of great estates or else abjectly
poor, that it it mistake to speak of
Cuba as rich country. 1t cannot be

But. with such combination of soil

to American enterprise as, freely as our

writes Theodore Roosevelt in the
Forum. Such man is only the more
dangerous il he occasionally does some
deed like founding college or endow-

people who are also foolish forget his
real iniquity.
These men arc equally careless of
the workingmen, whom they oppress.
and Of the state, whose existence they
imperil. There are not very many of
them. but there is very great number
of men who approach more or less
closely to the type. and just in so far
as they do so approach they are
curses to the country. The man
who is content to lot politics go from
bad to worse jesting at the corruption
of politicians. the man who Is content
to see the maladministration of justice
without an immediate and resolute
effort to reform it, is shirking his duty
and is preparing the way for infinite
WOO in the future. Hard, brutal In
difference to the right and an equally
brutal shortsightedness as to the inevi-

yet they are characteristic of great

selves perfectly respectable. and who
are considered thriving. prosperous
