r,xn-Minute Mark Reaten.

Boston, Aug. 29.--It has been
shown at last that it is possible for a
light harness horse to pace a mile in
better time than two minutes. Star
Pointer, at the Readville track yester-
day, took the champion crown away
from the New Yerk pacing stallion,
John r. Gentry, and to redeem it the
pet of the Tewksbury stable will have
to cut more than a second and quar-
ter off his record, for it was by just
that much that Star Pointer lowered
the worlds record. The conceded
king Of race horses yesterday engaged
in a tilt against the watch, and when it
was over the two.minute mark was a
thing of the past by just three.fourths
of a second.
1t was royal wind up to the great
est grand circuit meeting of the year.
The cream of the eastern and western
horses have been racing against each
other all the week for the first time
this season, and the lowering of the
worlds record and the demolition of the
much coveted two.minute mark were 9
fitting climax to the grand week o.
sport. For years horsemen have wran
gled with much feeling over the moot
ed question of even equaling the two
minute record.

The liecord lsroken.

We read in ancient writ where the
windows of Heaven were opened and
it rained forty days and foity nights
and the waters covered the whole face
Of the earth, even hiding the tallest
mountains, utterly destroying every
living, creeping thing save Noah, his
family, and seven of all clean beasts,
and two of the unclean, and of birds
seven, male and female, to stock up
again when the waters should sub
side. OF the fifty-two days just
past it has rained forty two, some
days only a tribe just enough TO hold
the record good, four days threaten
ing, but no rain in sight and seven
days that were fair There has been
no universal deluge, but several
floods, as those having interval land
to cut can testify to. The hay crop
is abundant but much of it secured in
very bad condition and much still
standing. Corn needs more sunshine
and warmer weather to secure good
crop. Potatoes look very much like
a failure as there seems to be only a
few in a hill and those few very
small. Worms seriously injured the
fruit crop, grain badly lodged and
rusted and no time to secure it, SO on
the whole the farmers outlook, in this
vicinity, is anything but fattering.

1t looks much as if the predictions
of the Republicans in relation to the
workings of the new tariff would be
verified, Notwithstanding that it will
require year for the full realization
owing to the immense anticipatorv

quoted as saying:
Everything looks favorable for a
long period of prosperity" and be-

to haul the shipments of grain from

Assistant Secretary Brigham of the
National Agricultural bureau express
es the opinion that the American
farmers this year would receive in the
aggregate from $500, 100000 to
500,000,000 in excess of that re-
ceived last year for their wheat.
This is significant. Let us see
what it means. In the first place the
larger part of this enormous amount
will be drawn from foreign countries
and in gold, and means an addition
to the wealth of the county that will
be felt from one end to the other. 1t
means prosperity for the farmer and
corresponding good times for every
body else. 1t means that the farmer
will pay off his mortgages and that
he will have something with which to
buy not only the necessities but many
OF the luxuries of life. This will
cause the country merchants to stock
and to meet this demand jobbers and
wholesalers must buy of first hands,
and this means busy times in the fac.
tories. 1t means an enormous in
crease in railroad earnings and the
employment of large additional
force. To sum up it means, taken
in connection with the present tariff,
work for everybody and better times
that will reach down to the humblest
laborer in the land.

The recent expectation Of American
tinplate that sold in foreign markets is
a more eloquent and torceful answer to
to the freetraders' assertions than coli
umns of newspaper or oratorical state,
ments, 1t is only six years since Dem
ocrats were insisting that no amount of
protection would enable American
manufacters to successfully produce tin
plate, yet in that brief time they have
practically supplied the markets of the
United States and are now reaching

When Lincoln Called for Volunteers.

Dedicated to the Veterans of windham County.
When Lincoln called for volunteers way
back In sixty-one,
From every town and village the boys
went marching on.
To save our glorious union they donpcd |
the army blue,
Beneath the starry banner the red, the
white, the blue.
With prayers and with blessings they
marched from home away,
With union for their.motto their country's
call to obey.
With marches long and weary they still
kept marching on
Those days were dark and dreary way
down to Washington.
Chorus.
Comrades of Windham county we meet
again to day
To clasp the hand Of friendship, to while
the hours away
To tell the old. old story of marches of
tobS a7Vt
of camp fires burning brightly in the
evenings gentle glow,
OF letters from our loved ones, from
home so far away,
They gave us strength and courage on
many a weary day.
When in our gentle SAUNDERS somehow to
me 1t seems.
Visions of ouf loved ones we saw them
IN Our dreams.
They stood upon the picket line, the rain
come pouring down,
They marched and counter marched and
slept upon the ground.
With their kuapsacks for their pillows
they slept the hours away,
Until the bugle sound at the early dawn
of day.
With their knapsacks and their haver-
sacks also the old canteen,
With coffee and with bareback mixed in
with pork and beans,
They followed that old flag in sunshine
and in rain,
Their camp-frcs burning brightly on
many southern plain.
They fought beneath that flag though
torn with shot and shell,
On MANY a battle field their comrades
bravely fell.
They bravely met the foe as brave men
always do.
Their lives they freely gave, those loyal
boys in blue
Those brave and noble men we think of
them to day,
Who died in prison pens from home so
far away.
They dearly loved that flag, their suffer
ings now are DER,
Their names are now enrolled where
paltings are no more.
From every hill and valley we come again
to day,
Our steps are growing feeble, our hair is
turning grey,
Our ranks are growing thinner, the years
20 swiftly by.
Our comrades are now sleeping beneath
the bright blue sky.
We love our native state, her mountains
towering high,
We love her hills and va ltys, how peace.

Democratic organs keep up dread
iul howl over the fact that sugar trust
stock went up after the passage of the
tariff bill, duplicating that the cause
was the increased protection given the
trust. This is not the truth No more if
as much protection is given the refnil Q
companies than under the Wilson bill.
And the whole reason for the rise in
sugar stock is owing to the fact that
the American sugar refining company
imported, under the old law, 100000
tons of sugar, the profits on which, ow.
ing to the increased rate Of duty under
the new tariff, will be at least SO.
100000. This is certainly enough tc
cause a rise upon share values.

Itch Gold PROSPECTS,.


The steamer Portland, which arrived
from St. Mchaels, at the mouth of
the Yukon river, last night, brought
number of miners from the Klon-
dixie district. The rich claims on
Eldorado creek, they aver, are about
40.
Mr.. Ogllvie estimates that at the
rate these 140 claims are now pro-
ducing and large ground yet to be
worked for the next three years will
aggregate $50, 900. To this must
be added the favorable possibilities
of new gulches and the development
of claims already found but not
opened so as to permit of greatest
production. There have been other
rich strikes on Stuart river, bunker,
Henderson and Indian creeks, but
none Of these are as rich as the claims
on Eldorado and Bonanza creeks.
Until the wonderful discoveries of
Klondike were made ground worth 10
cents to pan with enc TO two or three
feet pay Of dirt were considered very
good for the Yukon aud miners made
fair money with rockers and sluces.
This year miners are passing entirely
over ground of this richness in their
search for sand and gravel that will
pay like that of the Klondike discov-
cries. Up to date none of the claims
show any signs of exhaustion aud
scarcely dozen are more than well
opened. Every one has large areas
Of ground to be worked. He says it
is impossible to make anything like
an accurate estimate OF the probable
yield of the mines. The ground is
not at all even in richness and the
width of pay streaks varies greatly.
The most important news from ST.
Michaels is that the Yukon river
steamers left there two weeks ago for
their last trip up the Yukon. Ii was
not certain that they would reach
| Dawson this fall, as persons who left
| tha Il ft,o cto 4
early as July 20 would reach only
Circle City before navigation closed.
This makes it certain that hundreds
of miners who have left the sound
and California since August for ST.
Michaels will have to winter there.
AT least they can scarcely get started
up the Yukon before the river freezes
over solid. All vessels touching at
st. Michaels this summer have had
great difficulty keeping their crews,
who have caught the gold fever very
soon after arriving. One schooner
from Victoria was entirely deserted
and her crew, from captain to cook
started up the rlver for Klondike
The crew of the schooner j NJ Cole
man endeavored to desert also, bu'
the attempt was discovered in tint
, and by the display of firearms thu
men were compelled to remain OF
duty. The mates of the schooner!
Jewett and Coleman and the carpen
ter of the Sander were paid off at ST
Michaels and departed at once 70
Dawson. Every vessel from ST
Michaels has come away short hand
ed. The Portland lost several of he
crew, but was able to obtain ne,
0 mer by paying high wages.

With Mexican dollars worth only
40 cents, the laboring people of that
country, whose wages are nominally
one-half the wages in the United States,
are in hard lines. The recent fall in
silver and depreciation of the Mexican
dollar has caused great suffering to the
class of people who we're but poorly
paid when the dollar was much more
valuable than it is at present. This
depreciation causes rise in the prices
of all commodities that the laborer
