Rnms wins q stake or 900 from n Lar

DETROIT. July l3.-The noted Merchants and
Manufacturers Stake, guaranteed at $4,000.
has again been decided on tho Crosse Point
track after q long contest, and again has gone to
q long shot. Octavia was tho favorito, and
while never in worse than fourth position got
no part Of tho money. Rilma, the winner, had
the endurance Of the party, and when she was
sent for the money was able to respond in re-
markably good time.
Tho only thing approaching q sensation was In
the second heat, when Kenney, with Ontario.
was set far down after finishing first for pinch
ing Geers and The Abbott against the rail in the
stretch. Kenney opened up the rail for Geers,
and then, as soon as he saw The Abbotts nose,
cut In to the rail again. 1t was a great day for
Geers. as he won the 2:17 class trot In straight
heats by beautiful driving and the 2:23 class
pace after tho same handy fashion. In every
case his methods were similar. He laid up close
to tho leader until nearly homo and then cut out
and pushed his horse in.
The day was very threatening. and rain fell at
intervals, but not enough to interfere seriously
with speed. The books failed to cut in owing to
the alleged exorbitant prices asked, and, as a re-
suit, o big crowd had only the machines to play.
In the $4,000 stake the judges sent all the
those having won heats. This was according to
agreement. Red Star took second money in this
stake last year. and had laid up under the 2:2I
mark all the rear expecting to win out to-day.
Since last year no has taken second money
eighteen times. The summarizes:

Atlantic Currents.

1t Is an interesting fact III the records
Of scientific progress that the United
States navy has for a long time past
been dropping bottles overheard in the
Atlantic ocean at the Azores, in deep
water along the coast Of Spain and from
the Madeira and the Canaries south
ward along the coast of Africa The
fact that all these bottles that have
been recovered have been found on the
coast of South America, ON the Antil-
les, and some Of them as far west as
the mouth Of the Rio Grande suggests
the inference that every buoyant object
which has been dropped into the ocean
during tho present geological epoch by
prehistoric or historic Spaniards, Por
tuguese or Africans has found its way
to America and been stranded some
where between the tenth parallel south
and the thirtieth parallel north. In the
northern part Of the Atlantic ocean the
currents run the other way, and the
mails have been delivered from Ameri-
ca to Europe. In the Pacific ocean the
daily mails delivered on the west coast
Of America from Mount ST. Elias south
ward have proceeded from about the
twentieth parallel north, in the vicini-
ty of the Malay peninsula and archipel-
ago, thence have travelled through the
China sea and the japanese sea to pick
up matters designed for the western
! hemisphere.

Eureka Gas.

The name Of Eureka gas is given to
new illuminant, expected to rival acety
lene. This gas, as described i'll Inven-
tion and originated by NJ Hector de
Favi Of Montefascone, Italy, is obtained
as follows: Lime rs pure as possible is
employed as base colophony and cal
cium carbide being added, 600 parts
of the mixture ready for use consisting
of 900 of quicklime, 80 Of colophony
and so of calcium carbide-and there is
said to be no liability Of explosion by
mixing with air. No heating Of water
and no special burner is needed. One
thousand parts of the mixture give 60
liters of gas at a pressure Of 30 milli-
meters of water, and the phOtOmetric
intensity of the flame is stated to be
02. 4 candle hours, while the same
amount of calcium carbide employed
singly would give only Is candle hours.
Thus, it is asserted, the new gas is so
per cent cheaper than acetylene, or that
at equal cost it will give half as much
more light

IN THE LONG AGO.
When the st. Louis Spaniards Marched
Against the Michigan English.


Against the Michigan English.
A Spanish army came to Chicago in
the long ago. The minor details Of it
and the finer statecraft reasons Of it arc /
hidden in the catacombs Of the Escu-
rial along with tons Of other docu-
ments that will never see the light
again. But we know that those men of /
war marched over the Illinois prairies,
and that they We're sent to increase the
dominions Of their sovereigns.
By the treaty Of Paris, signed i'll 1863,
France ceded to Spain all Of that vast
territory known as Louisiana, which
stretched from the mouth Of the Missis-
sippi to the Canadian line. In 17s1
Great Britain was at war with tho
United States, Spain, Holland and
France. st. Louis was Il Spanish town,
and English officers attacked it ut the
head Of 1900 Indians They were de-
feated with little trouble and retreated
In revenge the Spanish commander
at st. Louis, which his people called
San Luis de Illinois, planned a raid
against the British post Of st. Joseph.
1t was fort or outpost, located at a
point two miles from the present city Of
Benton Harbor, Mich, and go miles
northwest Of Chicago, across the lake.
The force began its long, difficult and
dangerous journey on Jan. 2, 1881.
They estimated the distance at 220
leagues or $50 miles, and subsequent
surveys have proved that they were re-
markably good guessers. 1t was officer

teers, i'll all 1870 men, selected with
special reference to their ability to with
stand tho arduous journey.
They marched up the Mississippi riv-
er to the mouth Of the Illinois and
thence along the track Of the French
explorers and voyagers. The route took
them up the Illinois river past Fort
Creve CGur (Peoria) to old Fort St
Louis Starved Rock. Here they plant
ed the blood stained banner of Aragon
and CASTLE. y century before from that
rocky eminence La Sale had AAlfurled

Purre's force toiled III snow and ice
to the junction Of the Kankal1ee and
Desplaines rivers. They followed the
Desplaines to Il point west Of what is
now South Chicago and came to the
lake at its southern edge. They found
it a desolate region Of swamps and sand
dunes. Thence they marched to their
/ destination.
The small garrison Of st. Joseph fed
to Detroit at the news Of their approach,
and all Of the stores fell into the hands
Of the invaders. They proclaimed the
sovereignty Of Spain over this section
and divided the stores. After resting
some days they began their return march
over the former route. They reached st.
Louis in safety after a midwinter march
Of nearly ], 400 miles through a hostile
country. They had few casualties and
gathered much plunder. - Chicago

The Bishop's Discontinue.

There is an anecdote Of a London
bishop who, having read that story of
John Wesley cutting out every word Of
his discourse that his servantmaid did
not understand, determined to preach
to country congregation the simplest
sermon he could write. He chose an
elementary subject and took as his text,
"The fool hath said in his heart there
is no God" On leaving the church he
asked the parish clerk what he thought
of the sermon. "Oh, my lord" said he,
cit was very fne-very fine and grand.
I've been talking it over with Mr..
Beard, and we said how fine it was.
But, after all, we can't help thinking
that there is God. "-Chambers' Jour-
