On the whole. II Is better to live In the
temperate zone than to die in the arctic
zone. and If man has any kind of re-
munerative work he had much better put
his dreams Of wealth on the shelf or keep
them in the icebox than trust himself to
the inglortous and multitudinous uncer-
tainties of that Indictment and relentless
region.

A Deseryinr Cnse.

The public is known to be most sympathetic
In the commoner cases of grief,
And they sell at bazaars many knick-
knaCkS aesthetic
For the purpose of giving relief.
We never have lacked for expressions of
sorrow,
For people in poverty's snare
But there's one for whose grievance no
trouble we borrow;
We're forgetting the millionaire.
Consider the gibes and the heartless Ella
ton
Exhibited WREN he's distressed;
Remember how oft he is scared by taxa
ton.
And tempted to move way out west.
Observe how the farmer for wheat will get
money
While Wall street must wait for share,
And instead of attempting to sheer and be
funny,
Be kind to the millionaire.

themselves at the limit of their powers
Oe course the running horse is the fieetest
of the species and his record is unattain-
atle by the PAGER and still more impossible
for the trotter. The best running record
for mile is that of Salvador, who in Au-
gust, 1880, went that distance on straight
course in 1 minute, 35 seconds and a half.
The best mile by trotter was by Alix in
2a8@,- The trotting horse had been mar
velously developed during the last few
years and it is only Of paratively recent
record that 2:10 was the standard of great
est speed for this style of gait.
AmCrg the human record breakers Luz
Glen Lesna, a Frenc Imam, bettered the
American cycling record for twenty-five
miles in the course of a race with STAR
buck. The previous best performance was
10 minutes, II seconds. Lesna covered the
distance in IL minutes, - seconds. Charles
Hanneman. of Chicago, threw the discus
Saturday further than any other person
ever succeeded in casting it, sending it 11s
feet inches. The best known cast pre-
viously was 106 feet By a more narrow
margin the relay mile race record was low
cred, three members of the New York Ath-
letic Club covering the distance in 3 min
utes, 21 So seconds, one second faster than
the record held by the Yale team.
But while these feats were being accom-
plished two records that are constantly be-
ing assaiied remained intact. Wefers, the
great short-distance runner, was able only
to equal the record for the hundred-yards
dash, which was first made in the course
of the A. A. U. games on Analostan Island
near this city in 1890. Owen of Detroit
then established the new pace for sprinters
in this class by covering the stretch in . 4-5
seconds This achievement has been
equa1led several times since, but never
bettered. Saturday also Jimmy Michael
the Welsh wonder on the wheel, tried to
lower the one and five-mile records on a
plank track in Detroit, but failed in both
cases, being seven seconds behind in the
mile and five seconds in the five mile test.
Thus there is a constant endeavor to
slice off few fractions of a second from
the best previous performances on turf,
field, track and indeed in all departments
os athletic work. The training and slSillful
use of the human body seem now to have
been brought to a point of such perfection
that the advancement henceforth will be
slow, yet there will doubtless always be
record breakers in sport, however small
the margins may become.

South CarUlina's Senatorial Campai gn
The race in South Carolina for the seat
i'll the Senate now occupied oy Mr.. McLau-
rim by appointment has come to an end,
after campaign which must have filed
with regret every man of pride in the state.
From first to last it was conducted with
such passion, and with an exchange of
such insulting personalities and damaging
accusations among the candidates, as
would have been discreditable in inexpe-
rienced and uneducated men seeking the
humblest office. Fist fights were several
times but barely averted, and hints of duels
were frequent. No one of the candidates
escaped a scoring. and some of the charges
brought affected the personal integrity of
one or more of the aspirants. A listener
at any of the meetings, indeed, might well
have resolved to take to the woods rather
than make a selection from such a list If
the candidates were to be believed about
one another.
Such a scramble by men of such caliber
for an Office of such dignity and import
ance was never seen before. MIR. McLaurin
is now filling the office. Mr.. Irby has filled
it for a full term. Mr.. Evans has been the
governor of the state. For a time there
were several other aspirants. All are men
of education and of standing at home. but
when they took the stump in this race they
seemed to throw dignity to the winds, and
to think 1t advisable and proper to ADOPT
in its stead the swagger and the vocabu-
larry of the street-corner agitator. And in
doing so they offended not only against
themselves but against the reputation of
their state. People at a distance cannot
but be filled with surprise that such a can
vass for such an Office is possible in state
which was once the arena of intellectual
discussion of the first order.
The more immediate injury, however,
may be to the cause of selecting senators
by direct vote of the people. There is a
strong desire throughout the country to
see the old plan changed. So much cor
ruption has been charged against it that
a great many leaders of opinion believe
that good would be effected by permitting
the people to express themselves directly
at the polls. But If the choice is to be be-
tween the old plan and such a new plan as
is offered in South Carolina, which seems
to make for passion and excitement, de-
grades the office and leaves the aspirants
at the end of the campaign despatched
with the mud of the stump, the growth of
the desired reform may be hindered.
