Races at NOrridgewOck

The races at Elmwood Park, So. Nor
ridgewock, Tuesday and Wednesday OF
the present week, were rather tame and
embarrassing, and the time made in the
different classes unusually slow. The
attendance was light caused partially by
the weather, yet the fact of the people
having had their fill of horse racing this
year was no doubt quite p factor.
The $50 class had six starters, but
was won handily by Miss Perkins, with
Spinster, second, best time 2.3i4. In
the 2 30 class Gipsey Maid had it won
from the first, while Dandy got second ;
best time, 30.
On the second day the 2.37 class add
yised was made 2.33 class, and this
with a tame 2.20, class was the pro-
gramme three starters in each. The
first was won by Spinster, notwithstand-
ing the fact that there WAS another horse
in the same race that apparently could
have shut out the field; Jack, second ;
best time 2.3S4. In the 2.20 class Cylex
was permitted to win the best he could
do being 2.3lA Gipsev Maid, second.

A CrocCdUr enc Hundred Feet Long.
Ii Is a vel Known fact even among
these who lAGke no pretense of having
their hCuts stored with geological and
pol mtOlCll,al lore, that the beasts and
reptiles Which existed in the early ages
Of the Worlu were giants when COM
pared with Tie very largest representa-
tives Of the same types which still sur
vive. This fact has recontl~ been strik-
ingly illustrated by "a find made at
Poitiers, WhC1c excavations are being
made under tie auspices of the Oriental
Academy of Science. At that place a
crocodile tooth was found which weighs
almost seven pounds. NJ. Gerard, the
professor III charge Of the working
corps says that there is no doubt that
the tooth formerly belonged to gigan-
tic crocodile, and that there is no posi-
bility whatever that he has COMPOUNDED
the tooth with that Of the megalvasau-
rus, as some scientists have limited.
M. Gerard says: 1T is a typical croc-
odile tooth and Is probably the largest
specimen Of tie kind ever seen by man.
In my estimation it is iIom the head of
reptile not less than 100 feet in
length. st. Louis Republic

Washington, Aug. A.-The an

appointed Ex-Governor Francis OF
Missouri to succeed Mr.. Smith as Sec
retary Of the interior rather surprised
Washington tonight. more because
OF the suddenness with which II fol-
lowed on the heels Of the announce
ment of Smiths retirement than be-
cause OF tire selection. The reasons
for Secretary Smiths voluntary with
drawal from the cabinet were under
stood as soon as the announcement
was made on Saturday. and II was
naturally expected that, as he had
retired because he felt obliged to sup
port the nominee Of his party at Chi
cago. hus successor would be In full
harmony with Mr.. Cleveland on the
money question. There was feeling
also that the president would prob
ably select Mr.. Smiths successor from
the Middle West. as the South was
already well represented In his official
family. Speculation therefore went to
Missouri. Indiana and Illinois, and
the names Of Ex-Governor Francis,
ex-Congressman Bynum and Others
naturally suggested themselves.
Governor Francis took a strong
stand in favor of the gold standard
In the preliminary battle for the dele
gates to the Chicago convention, but
he and his associates were disastrous
ly beaten In his state. During the
convention he was also active. Since
the convention he has. Il is said by
his friends here. given no public ut
terances as to his position with re-
gard to the Chicago ticket. and 80 far

the Indianapolis convention. Cover
nor Francis throughout his political
career has been Q strong supporter
and warm friend Of President Cleve-
land and the administration. II Ii re-
called that when Cleveland was at
Lakewood making up his cabinet
prior to entering on his second term,
Ex-Governor Francis was summoned
there, and there was a strong impress
sion for time that he would be given
a portfolio. He had been mayor Of
81. Louis and governor OF Missouri
and before Cleveland's nomination be-
came certainty was pressed for the
presidential nomination. At the tiane
he was talked Of for cabinet posi-

and that a remonstrance against his

He was here only few days ago and
1t was thought when he left that he
had gone to Gray Gables. Despite

vigorous. Of sunny temperament and

three men come very close to losing

Russell got beyond his depth and
called to his compaions to help him.
While they were attempting to get him
out of the deep water he sank, carry

fortunate enough to break away from
the drowning mans grasp. and call
ed Justify for Keeper Willis Rose. who
was at the other end OF the tank.
Before he could reach Russell the lat
ter had started to sink The second
time. Without stopping to take or
his shoes or clothes he jumped In
after the man. Russell grabbed his
rescuer as only a drowning man can.
Seeing that IT was impossible to save
his man with his clothes on. Rose
beat him or and swan foS the edge

several minutes to bring the man
around and he was then taken to his

unanimous In opposition to restoring
the German ritual Supreme Keeper OF
Records White said: In my opinion
the Germans have either got to obey
the law or get out" The general SEN
timent Is that the English ritual ought
to be used in this country where En-
glish Is the language almost univer-
sally spoken. II Is hinted by some rep
resentatives Of the supreme lodge that
the Germans are agitating the subject
now because OF their feeling over the
action OF the order In refusing TO per-
nit members to engage In the business
OF liquor selling. Another question
which Is to come UP Is the incorpora-
tion OF the uniform rank. The supreme
lodge and the endowment rank are
both Incorporated. and It Is insisted
that the uniform rank ought also to
be Incorporated.
