ALL ABOUT HORSES.
Something About This Seasons
Big Auction Sales.
Match Races Between Some Of the Fast
Ones Among the Possibilities
This Year.

This is the season of disposal and auction
saue of trotting bred stock. These are
institutions that sprang up with and have
kept pace with the breeding industry, and
today the months through which these
sales extend constitute as much a season
of the horse year as do either the months
of breeding or of campaigning. The
'culls' no longer find place In the auc-
ton catalogue, for breeders have learned
from the stern but always reliable teacher
-experience-that it is not policy to in
clude poorly conditioned ill-conformed,
understood, curby youngsters in
their offerings. Animals of this class are
wisely left on the farm to be disposed of
to better advantage at private sale, pro-
vided. of course, that the breeder is for
tunate enough to find man In these days
of horse sense who considers breeding the
only gauge to prospective speed ability.

Guiana.

KINGSTON. Jamaica, Jan. 4.-Mail advices
from Surinam, Dutch Guiana, report an in
crease Of activity in the gold-mining industry OF
that colony. Several influential English and
American syndicatcs have been formed to ac-
0uire unworked territory. and as soon as tho
season opens on Feb. l, extensive operations In
various new districts will begin. Several of the
companies already working have increased their
capitalization for the purposes of development
and the erection of now machinery. and, II all
these new plants arc put into operation. this
gold district will DO heard from during the year.
Foreigners, however. and especially Ameri-
cans and English, are harrasscd in every pos.
sibic way. Subordinate custom house o officials
exercise their power Of lcvying duty on i'm
pOrted materials in such a way as to seriously
handicap those who arc introducing stores.
These, If imported for the gold fields. are duty
free. but continual wrangling occurs over the
fnct that such stores may be used elsewhere.
Expeditions are hanlpercd in setting out and
are continually subject to irritating inquiries
and inspections NIL along the route.

"Thero Is n vast difference said an officer OF

OF stccragc passengers returning to Europe and
those coming 10 America.
ION the westward voyage the faces of the
immigrants are bright with expectancy and

see that they have been inspired by the roscute
visions painted for them by their friends or

Two-thirds or the Corrcspondenco OF the worid
DSpe I'm That lnnFunge.

At tho recent Postal Congress attention was
called to tho fact that two-thirds Of all the lot
ters which pass through tho Post Offices Of tho
world arc written by and sent to people who
speak English. There are substantially 50O.-
600, 900 persons speaking colloquially one or
another of the ten or twelve chief modern
languages. and Of these about % por. cent, or
1915, O00.OOO persons, speak English. About
80, 300, 900 speak Russian, 10, 900, 900 German.
55,O00.o0O French, 45,o00,Oo0 Spanish, as
900, 900 italian, and 10000 900 Portuguese,
and tho balance Hungarian, Dutch. Polish.
Flemish, Bohemian, Gaelic. Ioumaniau, Swod-
ish, Finnish. Danish, and Norwegian. Thus,
while only one-quartcr of those who employ tho
facilities OF the postal departments OF civilized
Governments speak rs their native tongue Eng
lish, two.thirds OF those who correspond do 80 in
the English language. This situation arises from
tho fact that so large n share of the commercial
business of tho world Is done In English, even
among those who do not speak English as their
native language. There are. for instance, moro
than 10000 Post Offices in India, tho business
of which in letters and papers aggregates more
than 800. 900. 900 parcels a year, and tho bust.
ness of these offices Is done chiefly in English,
though OF midas total population, which is
nearly 300, 900. 900, Tower than 300. 600 persons
either speak or understand English.
Though 90, 900, 900 speak or understand Rus
sian. the business OF the Russian post depart
ment is relatively small. tho number of letters
sent throughout tho Cars empire amounting
to less than one'tcnth tho number mailed In
Great Britain alone. though the population Of
Great Britain is considerably less than onc-half
of tho population Of Russia in Europe. The
Southern and Central American coun-
tries In which either Spanish or Por.
tuguesc Is spoken do comparatively little
Post Ohlce business, the total number Of
letters mailed and collected In a year in all tho
countries of South and Central America and tho
West Indies being less than in Australia. Chill
and Argentina are, in fact, tho only two South
American countries in which any important
postal business Is done. and most Of the letters
received from or sent to foreign countries arc
not in Spanish. but in English, French. German
or Itnlinn.

he BROUG 1T BILL TAYLOR.
OLD Thompson Obeyed Judge Graves's COM
mand and Produced the Body.


LEXINGTON. KY. Jan. 1.-THE death of the
wealthy negro blacksmith, Austin Thompson,
and the probating of his will herc.last Saturday
recall one of the most peculiar incidents in
Kentucky Jurisprudence. IN 1873 Benjamin
F.. Graves, now dead, was County Judge of
Fayette county. He lived about five miles from
town. and near by lived Austin Thompson. a
colored blacksmith. whom Judge Graves held In
high esteem. He had belonged to the Judges
father. and the Judge had known him., of course,
ever since he was n child. Some one stole n hog
from a neighbor Of the Judges, and the meat
was found In Austin's smokehouse. He mado
no attempt to conceal 1t. and told the Off Ger
who found 1t that he had bought the hog from
a negro named Bill Taylor. Notwithstanding
his protestations of innocence, the officers ar
rested Austin and took him to Jail. He sent for
Judge Graves. and when the Judge came he
said:
MARS Ben, you know I didn't steal no hog.
You been KNOWN me since ! was a boy, and you
know Austin never stole nothin'. ! bought dat
hog. Mars Ben, from Bill Taylor"
The Judge told him that he would let him out
of jail II he would go and bring Bill Taylor
into court. He asked Austin II he thought no
could bring him. and the negro replied:
The Judge told him that he must bring Tay.
lor in or he would have to go TO the peniten-
tiary, and that he must Drlhg MIN III dead or
""Ail right, Mars Ben, Use gwinc to bringstad
Niger in, cause i don't want 70 go 70 no pen
i~tentiary for no hog dat l didn't steal"
Two days later, while Judge Graves was sit
ting in his office in the old Court House. Austin
came In. hat IN hand, and bowling politely.
Mars Ben, Use done fetched dat nigger. He's
out here In. my waggin'.",
Bring him in. Austin" said the Judge.
II don't know about dat. He's mighty heavy
| and i can't tote him by myself"
what do you mcanf' said the Judge,
tNVal Mara Uan Won hnnn tnlA me 10 hiring
dat Niger In dead or alive. lie said he
wouldn't come. and ] had to shoot him. But
fetched him and II you'll wit n minute III
get somebody to help me and we'll bring aim
In dc room"
out to the street and sure enough, there was
the body OF Bill Taylor lying, in, Austin's
mediately over his heart, and death must have
been instantaneous.
cumstancesc caused a great deal Of talk. and there
were threats of indicting both Judge Graves
and Thompson for murder. But the Judges
rugged integrity and the previous good charac-
