LIVING TOO FAST.
The Physical Conditions of The
American People.

American People.
There are two most undesirable
things that belong TO the physical side
of our nation, and one is very largely
dependent upon the other if not the
outgrowth of it. There are the dis
ease called neurasthenia, better upper
stood il we call 1t tired-out-nerves, and
the other the serious defects of vision
which we all recognize-indeed the ac-
cuiist land they are not responsible
for it) are fast transforming us into a
spectaclednation.
The rush ard hustle of this American
life Is too much for us. We live to t
eat, sleep and die too fast. Our civili-
cation makes us live fast. We are a
quick fortune making people. Wall
street has shown us how fortune can be
made in day and lost III a day. To ac-
quire the one and avoid the other has
made many men of 40 assume the ap-
pearance of men of SO, 1t is safe to say
that Wall street and the peculiar kind
of fever generated in similar localities
affords one of the most serious menaces
to the people of this country-and I do
not except social vices and the evils of
liquor.
And yet every college gymnasium in
the country, every Young Mems Chris
tian association, is at work measuring
and testing its members, and the results
of these measurements and tests will re-
turn to us much of value. From them
we shall learn what we have of physical
value in certain classes of our poPula.
ton. True, they Gomez from selected
classes and do not by any means cover
the whole ground, and yet they are most
important to the student of anthropology.
Our police records, too, are becoming of
more value in that from them we learn
more of the physical makeup of the
criminal class. In many of our large
cities, pursuant to a plan adopted in
France and Belgium and other CONT
mental countries, exact measurements
as well as photographs of all criminals
are made. While this is done largely as
a means of identifying later, still it is
giving to us certain physical character
istics which can almost be called con-
stants of the criminal class.-Prof. E.
Hitchcock, Jr., M. D., in Cha utauquan.

SAlISBURY'S LAST RACE
Well-Known Westerner In Bad
Shape Financially.
Very Near a CIinax-MaRy Utahnians
Will sympathize With Him-Drains
Made Upon Him by Investment i'm
Real Estate In Chicago said 70 Have
Weakened Him Very Seriously.

San Francisco, ian. 1.-THE Exam
liner this morning says:
Monroe SaIisbury's financial stress
for some time no secret TO turfmen,
seems near a climax. Creditors are try
ing to force the veteran breeder into in
solvency, and whether he can weather
the impending storm, recouping his
fortune from mining interests, as he
| hopes, or must lose his investmts, is a
question soon TO be decided. Upon the
application OF people holding claims
against Salisbury orders have been
issued from the superior court of Ala
media county restraining him from dis
posing of any charge of affairs of the
Pleasanton Stock Farm company until
the day of hearing, which has been set
by Judge Hall for January 25
1t is set forth in the petition Sails
bury has brought himself within pur-
view of the insolvency act by allowing
judgments to be taken against himself
by default and BY making transfers of
his property with intent to hamper his
creditors. That the affairs OF the horse
owner are in tangled condition and
growing worse, Is also the tenor of the
petition.
Monroe Salisbury's name is familiar
wherever there IS a speed track or
wherever there are lovers of fine
horses.
The Pleasanton farm now appar-
emily in jeopardy, has become re-
nowned as the training of some
of the best races ever in front of
sulky, and its history is interviewer
with the history OF the American turf.
The foundation of Salisbury's fortune
was in freight contracts for the gov
erment in early days. Later he Sc
cured mail contracts, and at one time
the routes controlled by him covered
5000 miles. By these methods he re-
-ceived the means TO make possible in
dulgenc, in his cherished hobby. n
the late 6os he owned "Old Abe" then
a celebrated PAGER. He purchased
Romero and Monroe Chief and the
great Director, 2:I7.
For this horse he paid $4,000. He
secured John Goldsmith as driver and
made some OF the~greatest campaigns
ever to be told in track annals. After
giving dust to everything in California
Director was taken east to win new
laurels and for Salisbury greater riches.
When Salisbury built his track and es-
tablished his training farm. he brought
out Direct, 2:o5H, Directum, Flying Jib,
2:o4, Alex, :: 1854, the worlds champion
trotting mare Azote, 2:o45z, and many
others OF less note. His string have won
in stakes and purses as high as $4,000
in a.single season.
While he at times experienced losses
on the turf, II drains that have embar
raised him were due largely to invest
ments in Chicago realty. He became IN
terested in a steamboat scheme on the
Potomac with pleasure ground attach
ed. 1t was a loser. Now his chief re-
lance is said to be the mines he owns
in Eldorado county and in Utah. which
are reputed to be of much promise. But,
however they turn out, Salisbury's rae
ing days are believed to be over.

Rome Making 1000 Years B. G.

The name of the first ropemaker and
that of the land in which he practiced
his art have both been lost in history.
Before the beginning of the historical
period considerable skill had been sc-
quired in that line. Egyptian sculptures
prove that the art was practiced at least
1000 years before the time of Christ.

the firm of White & Gregg drew out their
deposit claiming they were going to buy a
farm That night at 10 o'clock, while
Uncle Billy was taking a smoke on his cot
near the vault before going TO sleep, he
heard suspicious sounds in the vault. He
listened and listened again and after a
few minutes was satisfied that robbers
were within. They could have got there
only through hole cut through the floor
OF the office above. The old man was not

glar catcher TO the bank, and here were
the burglars. His idea was TO catch them
instead of driving them of. Ii was a
lucky thing for the First National that
one OF the officials with a key TO the front
door had left IL lying on a table. Uncle
Billy saw IL as he wondered how he would

Some Ex-Senators.

There was remarkable array Of ex-
senators on the floor of the senate. Here
is the list: Ex-senator Paddock OF Ne
braska, ex-senator Bruce of Mississippi,
ex-senator Hunton of Virginia, ex-Sen-
ator Clayton of Arkansas, ex-senator
Corbett of Oregon, ex-senator Sanders
of Montana, ex-senator Kellogg of Lou
isiana, ex-senator Pugh of Alabama,
ex-senator Mitchell of Oregon, ex-Sen-
ator Hiscock of New York, ex-senator
Fowler of Tennessee and ex-senator Ed
munds of Vermont. An extensive page
in history is covered by these names,
reaching away back over quarter OF a
century to the stirring days when Pres
ident Johnson was impeached. Senator
Fowler voted against conviction. Sen
ator Corbett, now in his seventy first
year, is another old timer. Kellogg and
Clayton are reminders of the reconstruc-
ton days, and it was rather interesting
TO note how the friction Of that period
has disappeared for Clayton, the one
armed Arkansas Republican, and Sen
ator Berry, the one legged Arkansas
Democrat, hobnobbed socially and In
deep conference together on a sofa. -
