Terrible Slaughter By the British in the
Capture of Abu Hamed.
CAIRO, Aug 13.-Oficial dispatches
from Assouan Oh the Nile, near the
first cataract, give details Of the capture
of Abu Hamed on Aug. Z by the Anglo
Egyptian troops under Colonel Hunter.
After carrying the high ground over.
looking the town the Anglo. Egyptian
troops advanced to the attack upon the
village. A stubborn house to house
fight ensued, and Colonel Hunter was
obliged to bring up the artillery before
it was possible to carry the position.
The total loss was p killed and 81
wounded. The derv ishes repeatedly
charged through the narrow streets.
Finally their cavalry, having lost oven
half their number, fed precipitately,
followed by about 100 infantry. These
were all that escaped. The dervish
commander, Mohammed Zein, was cap
tured. Another we'll known Emir stub
bornly defended himself with his fol.
lowers in a strongly fortified house,
and was only killed at last when the
house was destroyed by the artillery.
A large number Of prisoners, arms,
standards, camels and horses with other
property were taken. The Nile at
Merawi is in a most unpleasant state
from the corpses floating down.

As Q Tribune representative was s~trolllng
of news, he dropped into Fezer's drug store.
This. that and other medicines were talked
of and their curative qualities analysed.
so far as lay in their power. The cura.
tive powers of DR.. Williams Pink Pills were
talked of, when Mr.. Falkner. a clerk IN the
store, mentioned that Mis-. Joseph Moore was
a firm believer il their efficacy Pursuing
his quest, the Tribune man paid Mrs Moore
q visit the next day.
Among the many good people residing in
Greeley, Colorado, Squire Moore and his
amiable wife are the best known and the
most respected. The Squire is carrying his
seventy-six years US sturdily as many men
who have not yet rounded their slx;lcth mile
post. and his wife, Ann, IS q fitting compan-
lon, one Of those pleasant faced. agreeable
ladies, who make you feel perfectly at home
when in their company This happy couple
were born in the same nelghborhood % the
West Riding, OF York, England. in 1890: the
husband a few weeks his wlte's senior and
for over fifty years they have travelled tbs
pathway of life together. In lsiS they en..
grated to this country and settled IN Derby
Conn.,, where they resided for a number OF
years. While there MIR. Moore, who Yves
highly respected by his neighbors, was elect.
ed a member of the State Legislature in 1867.
During his residence in the United States
he has been q constant reader of the New
York Tribune, and Yves an ardent admirer
If ito founder oDA proot oyitnr I,r,oo
Greeley. and q firm believer in that notable
writer's opinions. Through those mediums
he was influenced to come to Greeley in the
early spring Of 1871, and here he has resided
ever since. During his residence in this
beautiful section of northern Colorado, he
has held many responsible public positions,
notably that of Justice Of the Peace, an Office
which he occupied uninterruptedly for eight
years; and four years ago was reelected to
another term, his name being placed in
nomination at the convention without lis
knowledge.
The newsgatherer was received cordially
and in response to his inquiries, Mrs. Moore
stated that her health commenced falling
several years ago but like a great many wo:n-
en-, she scarcely knew the meaning of the
name sickness in relation to herself. She
refused medical attendance or treatment of
any kind, barring that which she drew upon
from the family pharmacopcia or dispcnsary.
Using Mrs. Moore's language: "For four
years l was miserable. hardly a week passed
during that time but what suffered from
extreme lassitudc. The least e~xertion IA
tigued me. At tines when I would be sew
ing or reading, l would be troubled with
tingling sensations, like the prickinc at pins
in hands, feet. arms and legs. Occasionally
I would suffer from profuse perspirition. the

The Newborn and the Dead.

Lavater, in his "Physiognomy,"
makes the following curious remarks:
Il have had occasion to observe some
infants Immediately Oh their births and
have found an astonishing resemblance
between their profile and those of their
father. A few days after this resem-
blance almost entirely disappeared. The
influence Of the air and food and prob
ably the change Of posture had SO al
tered the design of the face that you
could have believed it a different in
dividual. l afterward saw two of these
children die. IN at 6 weeks and the
other at 4 years Of age, and about
II hours after their death they imme-
diately recovered the profile which had
struck me SO much at their birth, only
the profile of the dead child was, as
might be expected, more strongly
marked and more terse than that of the
living"

RACING IN
The Horses Run Not Side by Side, but In
Opposite Directions. /

The Horses Run Not Side by Side, but In
Opposite Directions.
It is a racing day in Moscow. The
course is swept free from snow and fol-
lows the wooded shores with red paint
9A ratings on each side. On II side
is q stand, with seating room for sev-
eral thousand people, and a special box,
with tent hangings, for the governor
general, surmounted by the imperial
eagle in gold. In front Of this box, low
er down, you see the prizes, consisting
Of gold and silver cups, vases and orna-
mental pieces, all in Russian style and
taste.
A bell rings, the course is cleared by
mounted gendarmes and the competitors
in due order take their places III front
Of the stand, but not side by side, as
they always start from opposite sides OF
the course, with heads also turned in
opposite directions. The usual race
course hum and noise of the betting
men are heard and increase in volume
as the bell rings the second time. They
are off! And the fascination Of rapid
motion, open air and strenuous exertion
throws its spell over the assembly, high
and low, for trotting is certainly the
most fashionable and beloved sport in
Russia. You cannot recognize people
just yet-the great fur collars are raised
and reach over the fur caps, leaving
only red tipped noses, beneath which
appear never missing cigarettes. The
ladies' heads are almost entirely GOV
cred by wooden wraps, St here again
you can only guess who is who. To a
stranger not investing his money in
backing his opinion as to winners, the
game might seem monotonous enough,
as the horses do not finish side by side,
but in the way they started. Yet the
Russians think differently, and, besides,
are there not plenty of vodka and caviare
to be had between the races?
Single horses are pitted against each
other, drawing light little sleighs, in
which the driver is seated very low
down and far away from the horse, ow-
ing to the long shafts intended to give
the horse perfect freedom CT action. A
whip is not used, but on the reins are
metal buckles owe the quarters, which
are employed instead, and almost all
horses run without blinkers.
Sometimes a horse is attached to the
sleigh on one side of the ~trotter, who is
between the shafts. He is the pacemak-
er and gallops the whole course,
whereas, it need not be said, the trotter
must not break. Then follow pair
horses, harnessed, and lastly troikas
with three horses, sometimes four
abreast. Troikas are very barbarously
gaudy and clumsy things to look at, but
exceedingly comfortable all the same. -

Our N~eighbors.

Our neighboS generally are the peo-
pie who have houses near to our own,
that nearness varying according to the
size of the district and the number of
ho~useholders Of the same social rank as
ourselves. In town they live in the
same street; in apartments they are on
the same corridor; in the country they
are separated by a field only or a garden
wall; in sparsely tenanted places they
are at a distance of a mile or two miles,
OF it may be six. And the neighbor par
excellence is the II who lives close
alongside of neutrality-suspicious. in the
other half Of the semidetached house
where we have our home or just across
the road and opposite, not to the side.
This is the general idea of a neighbor,
and when we use the term we rarely
mean aught else.
But in point of fact we have neigh
bors wherever we turn-men and WON
II to whom we are bound to render
such service Of kindness as comes into
the possibilities Of the time and place.
1t is not only domicile and the rates
and taxes which make US neighbors. It
is not only when we live divided by a
party wall ne from the other at the
foot of the hill, or standing face to face
across the road, when we can signal our
goings out and our comings in and be
helpful and neighborly in the matter of
the garden roller and the preserving
pan. 1t is not only when we know all
the family history, and how our friends
and neighbors are impeccable as to their
grandfather and without the crooked
lines of a scandal across their family
escutcheon. 1t is not necessary to be
intimate, nor even to have been intro
duced, for the obligations Of neighbor-
illness to be strict and strong. For
wherever we can render a service, show
a courtesy Or do a kindness we have our
work cut out for us in the way Of duty
to our neighbor, and he is our neighbor
who stands in need, great or small, of
such help as we can offer. --Philadel-
phia Times.
