tracted much attention. was put on trial
here on Saturday for grand larceny. When
brought into court he Immediately fell
into a trance.
In response TO a request from a juror
the court gave permission for an appica-
ton of the ammonia test, which had pre-
viously awakened Seymour. The test
caused him to struggle violently, but ne
did not awaken. On Monday he was stih
sleeping soundly and it is not expected
that he will wake up to any degree OF
activity, either physical or mental, for
some time providing that he is convicted.
If proven innocent there is general im-
preston that Seymour will become very
much awake on short notice.

mour denied his identity, in the face OF
convincing evidence. Finally, TO make

bail. returned to Oedenburg and brought
an action for divorce on account OF wo-

schopenhauer on Women.

Schopenhauer' mother, Joanna, was
a singular woman, with whom he was
perpetually at war. She was lively, he
was grim. She was sentimentalist, he
detested sentiment. She was devoted to
society, to gossip, to the convenances Of
life. He lived for ideas, and with an al
most savage moroseness poured scorn on
the round of lat homes" and @sthetio
tea parties. Both were selfish and quar-
relsome. We may judge, therefore, that
Schopenhauer took his notions of wom-
en- partly from his mother. It goes with
out saying that these notions were vio-
lent In the extreme, yet not without
some aspects of truth.
The new woman would rave at this
satire ON her pretensions, and yet il
would do her good to read what Scho-
penhauer has to say with as much calm
ness as she can command. Woman Is

FIRE HORSES.
The Quickest Ones In the World Are Said
to BE In Kansas City.

| to BE In Kansas City.
f. S. Dellenbaugh writes of "The
Quick Horse" in st. Nicholas, his
article telling of the training of horses
for the fire department. Mr. Dellen-
baugh says:
The quickest horses in the world were
at one time in Kansas City at the head
quarters of its. fire department, directly
under the Office of the chief, Mr.. George
@ Hale. To Mr.. Hales genius more
than to any other factor the quick horse
owed his first development, for Mr..
Hale is the inventor of the earliest
swinging harness which made the
quick horse possible. When Mr.. Henry
M. Stanley and his wife were in this
country, they witnessed an exhibition
drill of the Kansas City fire department.
The drill so impressed the visitors that
an account of it was published in Lon
don journal, and this English article
brought an invitation to Mr.. Hale to
visit England as the representative of
the American fire service at the interna-
tlonal fire tournament. Mr.. Hale and
picked corps went to England, TAX
ing with them the remarkably quick
horses Joe and Dan, and they became
world famous. AS the quickest harness

City horses were harnessed in "a Sec

in less than seconds, there could be no
competition. In Kansas City four fine

Joe and Dan could jump into their har-
nesses. twas pretty sight to see these
four well kept horses spring to their
places at the stroke Of the gong and in
two or three seconds stand ready to run
with the apparatus. Joe was killed by
an accident, but Dan, with new mate,
is still in service, and as quick as ever.
The record for quickest time from the
engine house to the throwing of water
on the fire is held by Kansas City
company. In this instance the horses
were harnessed, run of Q, 1914 feet "a
little less than half mile) was made,

II a woman cannot secure young

to wrestle Gilbert at any time or In any

$25 to $500 side. To guarantee his
good faith he had $25 to put up as for
lett. Gilbert did not have the $25 In his
clothes, but promised to cover theforieit.
and a match will undoubtedly be forth
coming.
When Rowett and King stepped on the
mat again for the second bout King was
very cautious, and time and again broke
holds his opponent endeayored to get on
him and during the entire bout was on
the defensive. For twenty-five minutes
neither man got hold and the audience
became very impatient, continually urg-
ing the men to do some thing. At 11:55
Sheriff Lean stepped on the stage and
gave the men five minutes to decide the
matter. On this announcement a howl
OF dissension arose from the audience
and for time the genial sheriff was the
most unpopular man in the county.
Rowett, having one fall to his credit and
nothing to lose and everything to gain,
cheered on by his friends, tried again and
again to down his man in the given time,
and took many chances to do 1t. Here
again Kings strength stood him in good
stead, his opponent being unable to put
him off his feet, although he worked like
fiend TO do il.
1t was with admiration that the friends
OF King saw him work so hsrd in their
behalf to save their bets. Promptly at
II O'Clock the wrestling was stopped by
the sheriff and the match was declared
draw by the referee the bets being de-
clared off. After all expenses were paid
the gate receipts were equally divided
between the two wrestlers. A great
deal OF dissatisfaction is expressed over
the result OF the match, and In all prob
ability the men may come together again
before Rowett leaves for the west. King
lacks considerably OF his old-time science
and will have to spend much time IN
wrestling with good men before he can
successfully compete with Rowett.

f4incoln's Care In the Use of Words.

In the opinion of the judges and prac-
titioners with whom Lincoln was asso.
ciated during his quarter of a century
at the bar his most prominent charac.
teristic was his rare faculty for detect
ing and disclosing the controlling point
i'll legal battle But not less than this
was his clear, full, orderly and accurate
statement of "a case, always so fair and
logical that it was often said that after
Lincoln had summed up the important
facts in a controversy there was but lit
tie occasion for argument on either side.
He habitually employed at the bar the
same care and skill in the use of words
and the expression of ideas which he so
often afterward exhibited when called
to a higher field of labor, instances of
which are seen in all his state papers
and in the changes for the better which
he made in the writings of his scholarly
secretary Of state, particularly in the
correspondence relative to the Trent af-
fair, which proTlbly avoided a war
with England. A fine example of the
grandeur of his diction is to be found
in his Gettysburg address, which has a
permanent place in the literature of the
world
He thought vigorously and thorough
ly, but did not speak quickly, In reali.
ty his hesitation was only the result of
his great care always to know his
ground. His habit was before speaking
or acting TO deliberately look through,
around and beyond every fact, state.
ment or proposition involved and sub
ject it to his wonderful powers of per-
ception and analysis. This required
time, but it made him successful in
every important undertaking. While he
thought much, he could not truthfully
be called great reader. He knew thor
oughly the works of Coke, Blackstone,
Stephen, Chitty, Starkey and later
Greenleaf's Evidence and Story's
Equity. He gave but little time to
searching for precedents or studying
what is called case law.-,James L.
King in North American Review.
