The above table lowers Counselman's
previous time, which he made May 2S in a
ten-mile match race against B. T. Wrenn.
His time then was considered fast. While
his time last Saturday was good 1t could
have been much faster had the pace been
better. 1t is clearly evident that Counsel
man was not pushed at any time during
the ride, and 1t would be good thing il
he was given a thorough test Compared
with his amateur performance a big diff

that he could not accept the

sion was made public by one of the
participants in the fraud which showed
just how it was doue. The reason that Mr..
Ina1 a am declined was not simply because
be entertained asdoubt for he had as mat
ter of fact entertained q doubt from the
moment the vote was declared in Ward

to him that fraud had been commlttt q.
He gave no sign of willingness to reiin-
quish the office until it appeared that he
could not by any possibility hold on to 1T.
1t may be shat had he acted upon his own
impulses he would have declined whom
the first suspicion of fraud crossed his
mind, it may be that he would not have
tried to convince himself that the count
was right, it may DO that he was led to
hold on by the pressure OF his party
friends as some of his associates on the tick
ct we're. Nevertheless it is fact that he
did not decline until he knew that the
check list was to be shown to the Repuali-
cans and that it contained conclusive evi-
deDce of fraud We have never claimed
that he was party to the fraud, but we do
claim that he held on to the stolen goods
as long as he possibly could.

What would seem to be effective precau-
tions have oeen taken to secure the safety
of the Spanish battleship Viscaya while
in New York harbor. Nobody can ap-
proach her without running the gauntlet
of government boats surrounding her.
In the present state of public excitement
the precautions are wise, for great city
like, New York contains large number
of oranks, and some of them might con-
ceive the idea of avenging the sinking
of the Maine by perpetrating some outrage
on the Spanish ship. Probably the crew
will be kept on tbs vessel. Certainly
they could not be permitted to circulate
about New York city without great dan
ger Of assault and perhaps something
worse. The visit Of the Viscaya was
planned before the disaster to the Maine,
and the first knowledgesher officers had OF
the disaster was when they reached New
York. Had it been possible the Spanish
government would probablyahaye changed
her destination after the explosion at Ha-
vana occurred.

It is difficult to conceive by what pro-
cess of reasoning the Argus arrives at the
conclusion that the "PRESS inclines
somewhat towards the wild and insensate
race hatred of the Jews which is just now
disgracing the Paris mob" The only
thing the PRESS has said bearing on
the Jews is that the Hon. Darius Iugra-
ham is especially dear to the Semitic race.
Does it imply hatred to the Jews to say
that Mr. Ingraham is dear to them? 40.
cording to the Argus MIR. Ingraham is q
Democrat in whom there is no guile-a
man for the plain people, to whose inter
ests he is and always has been devoted y
How can it be an attack upon the Jews,
or manifestation of hatred to them to
say that this guileless Democrat, this
friend of the plain people is dear to them.
1t is the most oreditable thing.in the
world that they should love him. They
would be most ungrateful lot If they
did not love him.

The excitement over the Maine disaster
SO filed the public mind last
week that other matters got scant
attention. The debate on the
bankruptcy bill in the House was
hardly noticed, and the announcement
that it had passed gave rise to a good deal
of surprise TEe.measure is the Hender-
son bill which differs from the Nelson
bill which was passed by the Senate, by
providing for involuntary as well as vol
untary bankruptcy. On this account ii
is a far more satisfactory measure than
the Nelson bill. Its fate in the Senate,
however, is somewhat doubtful. In the
House Republicans generally voted for it
while the free silver crowd were against
it. If the Senate divides on the same line,
as is not unlikely, it will be defeated in
bat body.

There was the usual crop of rumol

There was the usual crop of rumors
about the Maine disaster yesterday,
most of them unreliable. The only one
that appears to have any foundation is
the one that alleges that the divers have
found the Maine forward magazine in
tact. This story Is said to come from a
ssmi-officiaI source. II it be true it is
exceedingly important as disposing of the
theory most generally held by those who
have believed that the accident was the
result of an internal explosion, that
the magazine blew up. Of course
even assuming its correctness it does not
settle the case against the accident
theory, but 1t does somewhat diminish
the probabilities in that direction.

Father Ryan.

No American poet has given clearer
proof of the possession Of poetic genius
of rare order than Father Ryan. Ger
tainly no poet has achieved a more en-
during fame and secured warmer place
in the hearts of the people of the south
than the "poet priest - He is distinc-
lively known as the poet Of the "lost
cause''-as the bard whose harp sings
SO sweetly and SO pathetically the re-
QUEEN of brave and proud people
over the grave wherein their hopes and
aspirations have been buried by the
mysterious dispensation of an almighty
and all wise Providence This fact puts
Father Ryan in unique place, separat-
ed from any other American poet of his
time. AS to the high intrinsic literary
value Of the majority of his poems, of
the genuineness of his poetic faculty
and the excellence of his gift of song
there can be DO manner of doubt. Al

FIVE REMARKABLE TREES.
Which Rank Among the Curiosities Of
Plant Life.

Which Rank Among the Curiosities Of
Plant Life.
The whistling tree, or Acacia fistula,
Is found in Nubia and the Sudan.
The Arabs call it soffar, or piper, be-
cause Of the whistling sound that it pro-
duces, and the specific name Of fstula,
word also meaning pipe or flute, has
been given it for the same reason.
Insects infest the tree and deposit
their eggs in its shoots. A gall-like ex-
crescence about an inch and half in
diameter is produced at the base of the
shoots, and when the larvae have
emerged from circular holes in the sides
of the shoots the holes, played upon by
the wind, produce a whistling sound
equal to that produced by a sweet toned
flute.
The COW tree is so called because
ityields an abundant supply of milk. To
obtain the milk deep incisions are made
in the tree, from which the fluid flows
into vessels placed ready to receive it.
This vegetable milk is white, somewhat
viscid and has an agreeable flavor, and
an analysis Of it shows that it is very
much like the milk of COW in it's COM
position. The COW tree grows on the
slope Of the mountain chain bordering
on Venezuela.
The cloth tree is found at Otaheite, in
the south sea. The bark is taken off in
long strips and put to soak overnight
in running water. The soaking softens
it, so that the inner fiber may be easily
separated from the rest of the bark.
The fibers are put together in lengths Of
about II or 10 yards, and the lengths
are placed side by side until they are at
least 10 inches in width, and two Or
three layers Of fbers are put one upon
another.
The fibers adhere together in one
piece, and the mat. rial thus formed is
beaten upon smooth piece of wood until
it becomes as thin as muslin It is then
bleached in the air for time, when it
is ready to be made up into clothing.
The stinging tree Of Queensland is
pleasing to the eye, but dangerous to the
touch. Its effects are curious 1t causes
great pain to the person or animal that
has the misfortune to get stung by it,
but it leaves no wound, no mark of.any
kind, and for months afterward the part
stung is painful in rainy weather or
when in any way it gets wet. Frequent
ly it is necessary to shoot horses and
dogs that have been stung by the tree,
so maddening is it's effect upon them.
The angry tree grows in Nevada, east
ern California and Arizona. When
in the least disturbed. this highly sensi-
tive tree shows its anger by ruf1ling up
it's leaves and emitting disagreeable
odor. ID. V. F. in Philadelphia Times

1t Brings Ravishing Dreams. of Bliss.

In southern Arizona the Jail and
prison officials have their hands full in
trying to prevent the smuggling into
their institutions of the seductive ma
riguana. This is kind of loco weed
more powerful than opium. It is dan
gerous thing for the uninitiated to ham
die, but those who know it's uses say it
produces more ravishing dreams than
opium. The Mexicans mix it with to-
bacco and smoke it with cigarettes, in
haling the smoke. When used in this
way, it produces hilarious spirit in
the smoker that cannot be equaled by
amy other form of dissipation. When
smuggled inside the prison walls, the
Mexicans readily pay 81 an ounce for
it, but free men buy it on the outside
for 80 nts.--San Francisco Gail.
