SENATOR SHERMAN.
The Eminent OhIosn Is wnIInG 20 Bow 10
the VIII Of ills Constituents.
In Their tIands.

Cleveland, o., Dec. 3.-The
approaching departure of Chair
man Hanna for Washington has
renewed the gossip concerning
the cabinet appointments Of Mr..
Mckinley. 1t is confidently be-
lieved that when he goes to
Washington he will bear with
him a message from Mr.. Nc
Kinley offering the position of
secretary of state to Senator
Sherman. With respect to the
possibility of Senator Sherman
accepting the the place, Colonel
Allan T. Brinsmade, who is n
warm friend of Mr.. Sherman,
said today that the senator was
willing to bow TO the will of his
constituents. If they desired
him to remain in the senate he
would do so, but if they willed
otherwise, he would acquiesce
without q murmur.
Today's gossip connected the
name of a California man with
a cabinet position. Judge
Waymier of San Francisco, who
was a member of the advisory
committee during the recent
campaign, is named by a close
friend of the president elect as
the one likely to get such an
appointment. He is slated
either for secretary of the in
terror or secretary of agricul-
ture.

Making Thlnas Lively.

The light-horsemen in the
Creek country aremaking things
lively for pot hunters. Several
parties have been arrested and
their outfits confscated. About
forty extra men have been put
on the force with orders to
arrest everyone found hunting
in the Creek country. The rea-
son for the activity on the part
of the Creek officials is said to
be owing to the recent disas-

In the year Of grace 1863 one ia
cob Starr, in the city Of Montgom-
cry, Ala. took it into his head that
he was = man Of some literary and
historical ability. Starr went 70
work to keep up q diary. BE record
ed every event Of note and was so
proud Of his work that he read IL 70
his neighbors- Two young lady
friends lived next door, and Starr
read his diary TO them every even
ing. The girls enjoyed it very much
and repeated the contents of tho
document TO their beaus.
All this made its work. The
points in the Starr biography were
duly quoted The young men about
town discussed the matter. and n
was soon decided that Starr was a
public enemy who deserved the
worst punishment So Jacob Starr
was watched. Leading Confederafes
were consulted, and they agreed
that he ought to bo hanged OF shot
But the innocent went on writing
and reading. and 10 never occurred
70 him that he was in any danger.
Starr wrote down the impressions
of the people an Sherman advanced
and laughed over IT, Then no took
his diary next door and read it to
tho young ladies. After that every
body laughed over IL. The town
boys especially were hilarious.
There was a general demand for
something more from the pom of ia
cob Starr. Mr.. Starr promptly re-
sponded. His diary was produced
whenever it was demanded, and Il
Is needless to say that IL was enthu-
siastioally received.
Ono night the town boys got to-
gethsr. They looked over tho Starr
diary, paid him n call and then
strung him up 20 n tree down by the
river side. Mrs. Starr sat mp all
night waiting for her husband, and
in the early dawn Of Sunday morn.
ing she took a negro boy in n buggy
with Egr ard cut down the dead
body of tho foolish man who had at

Fast driving along Park avenue is be-

there are examples of cruel driving that

Park avenue near Narragansett Park. One
man held the reiDs, another, unmerciful-
ly swung the whip and all three yelle at

the philosophical grayediggers began to I'LL
up the grave, and az the first shovelful of
earth fell on the box old Tom McAloon
turned away and said, "That's the last;
there never will be another Ezra l."
After his racing days were over Ezra l.
was the best cared for horse in the state of
Maine His stall was commodious box
affair, furnished In manner which would
lead one To suppose that it was lady's
boudoir rather than the stall of an ex-
racer. The walls were padded with plush
velvet and the two windows hung with
lace curtains. Instead of the usual wooden
wall freHt and -eRening, the front of this
stall was simply bright brass rail, which
the horse seemed to understand must never
be pressed against. Cleanliness was fun
damental principle, and the straw was
changed four times a day. At one side of
the stall was desk, in which record of
the daily feed of the horse was kept, and
his diet was as carefully looked after as
that of any human invalid.
Pictures Of the horse and illustrations
of his turf career adorned the walls, and
his record, printed in gold on satin, occu-
pied a conspicuous place at the head of the
stall There was never race meet in east
ern Maine which could be considered sue
cess unless Ezra l. was shown in harness,
and it was in response to this popular de-
mand that the old racer made the appear
ance which caused his death. At the re-
cent meeting at Mnplewood park there
was popular demand TO soc the horse, and
in order to satisfy the track patrons Mr..
McAloon sent Ezra Il from his comfort
able plush padded stall 60 the track for a
one mile exhibition.
Ezra l. was by Gideon, by Rysdyk's
Hambletonian X, dam Kitty Pierce, by Di-
rigo Grand, dam imported Lady Franklin.
From this ancestry he Inherited some Of
the best racing blood in the country. In
1882, at the Charter Oak races at Hart
ford, he made mile in 2:2lh, with the
last quarter in 30}s seconds, which was re-
gardcd at that time as most remarkable.
His last race in competition was in 1885.
