Left a Rad Record,

Rio de Janeiro, Nov. 25.-The session
of the Brazilian congress has left a
distinctly bad record. There was a
complete failure to improve the critical
financial and commercial situation.
Taxation was increased and general
discomfort augmented. The revenues
appear to have been over estimated,
and a surplus is doubtful.

so that his body bears but a slight re-
semblance to the human form. From all
accounts the father, Thomas Rush, is re-
sponsible for his sons condition. The
day before the child was born the father
kicked the mother and threw her down
stairs. From the time the baby was able
to creep about the floor the father beat
and dubbed it around until the tender
bones became twisted and misshapen to a
shocking degree. Four years ago Rush
deserted his family and nothing has been
heard of him since.
The mother had been SO badly treated

ham learned, she was sent to the asylum
for the insane, and when she was re

sick, and is now in the County Hospital

With all the ceremony the Preside

Fast Two -Year-Olds.

In the years to come, when other jock
eys replace those of to-day, and Eddie
Jones, then a man of mature years,
standing on the ground listens to the
applause showered on these riders by an
enthusiastic public, recalls the days OF
old when he was popular idol, better
leave the Topnast race of yesterday out.
The son Of Topgallant captured the last
race on the card at Oakland, but the
race did not look so well. Rubicon was
among the starters and was backed. He
had everything his own way until the
stretch was reached, then he grew
weary. Two outsiders moved up, and
so did Johes. Topmast, which receded
from to to IL to 10, won distractedly
from Storm King. Rubicon ran un-
placed Jones should remember that pol
itics are not always a factor in the run
ming horse game.
Racing as conducted under the Corri-
gan regime is a confused mess. No line
on the horses is possible. Dope books
have been laid away in the attic. and TINS
seems a wise move Three uncertain ia
VoriteS won purses.
The racing opened with a mile and a
sixteenth selling run, for which ArDaces
was sent to the post an II to 10 faVorite
The Red Iron horse made all the run

course. Caldwell left the favorite, Feb

a gallop for the DAILY entry, against
which to l was laid. Novia, the second
choice, was led out for the place by
Ringmaster.
In her morning workouts Ella Boland
had shown alarming bursts of speed, and
was the real thing for the two-year-old
scramble, her odds being cut from threes
to II to 5. She was sent away in front,
and, never hard-pressed. earned the de-
cision without difficulty. Rachel c came
from the rear, downing Basseda, the ia
vorite, for second place.
To use the favorite expression of Ad-
miral Dewey, Adolph Spreckels proved a
fighter from away back capturing the
mile and a sixteenth run when looking
hopelesly out of it. Myth cut out the
running, but firing the last few yards
was collared and beaten a neck by the
Corrigan entry.
The seven furlong run seemed to be to
the liking of Fleur de Lis, and 1t was only
the tardy ride of Jones that beat the
mare. He allowed Mary Black and Miss

Whera to Go.

The thought uppermost in the minds of
all lust at this season of the year is where
to spend to the fullest advantage the
week or month that is allowed one for
a summer outing. The Samuel Soda
Springs in Napa County offers advan-
tages equaled by few resorts of the coast.
Within easy access of San FRANCISCO, in
one Of the loveliest valleys of the State,
1t affords opportunities for rest and recre.
alton unexcelled. The spacious grounds
are delightfully."- laid out and wealth OF
flowers please the eye at every turn.
Pleasant drives through the adjacent
country are feature of the place, while
good fishing is to be had within easy dis
tance. The water of the springs has been
uniformly successful in the cure of dYs-
pepsia, indigestion, rheumatism and con-
stipation. Not the least attraction OF the
resort is the personal popularity Of the
proprietor, Mr. j. r. Morris, whose long
experience IS an assurance of care and

FAMOUS oCULIST DEAD.
DR.. James B. Gibson Passes Away
While at Colorado Springs.

Word was received yesterday by John
G. Gibson, the well-known merchant of
this city. of the death of his brother, DR..
James B. Gibson, who passed away at
Colorado Springs on Monday night. Death
was due to tuberculosis of the kidneys.
The deceased ranked among the fore
most oculists of the country. He was
formerly senior surgeon in the Manhat-
tan Eye and Ear Hospital of New York
City. While in that position his name be-
came familiar to the specialists of Eu-
rope and his opinions were sought by the
profession. Failing health compelled him
to seek rest at Colorado Springs, where
death relieved his sufferings. The funeral
will be held from his residence in Col
orado Springs.

one party of surveyors ran their lines
from this country through Central Amer
lea. The second party began It's work
IN Ecuador, running north to meet the
first party, and the third party surveyed
to the south from Ecuador, through that
country into and through Peru and to
the border of Bolivia. This main line
was so laid out that it could be in touch
with all of the systems of the countries
through which 1t passes. 1t is estimated
that the main line amounts to 1929
miles from New York to Buenos Ayres,

estimated cost of the main line, exclu-
sive of all branches, will be STA 290, ,271
The proposed line runs through some of

likely form one of the very interesting
subjects of consideration of the several
