OUR REPRESENTATIVE.
Prominence Enjoyed by Mr.. Hurst In the
Legislature just Closed.


In the closing days of the legisla.
ture the democrats succeeded in de-
| feating several pernicious republican
| measures. Hon. f. w. Hurst led the
attack on the Nohe fire escape law,
calling up the bill which eliminates q
| clause which gave Nohe a monopoly
of automatic escapes, and securing
enough votes to pass with an emer-
gency clause.
Although a minority member, Mr.
Hurst has succeeded in gaining much
prominence, enjoying alike the re-
spect and confidence of each side of
the house. His firmness in fight
ing the Berry bill and the capa-
bility with which he sustained his po-
sition, won the admiration of those
who were politically opposed TO him.
His success in gaining the attention
of the speaker at times when the cut
and dried programs were being car
ried out, as was shown in the case of
the arsenal machinists' resolutions,
has born evidence to his standing.
His record has been altogether credit
able, not only to himself, but to the
district he represents.
In the exchange of pleasantries dur
ing the closing hours of the legisla-
ture, Mr.. Hurst did his part. The
house offered its Fluctuations to
Speaker Sherman, and showed its
good will in the presentation to him
of painting of the recipient. Mr..
Hurst, on behalf of the minority, and
of Speaker Sherman, presented to the
democratic leader. Representative Nc
Goorty, beautiful gold watch and
chain as n testimonial of regard. In
making the presentation, Mr.. Hurst
said:
You came among us stranger to
most of us, but your record had so
endeared you to the people of this
state and to the mem ers of your own
party that you were selected as the
minority leader. In that position you
have so conducted yourself that you
have further won the regard of your
party, and l believe the esteem of all
members of this house. While you
have been firm in looking after the
rights of the minority, you have con-
Quoted yourself with such a degree of
courtesy as to mark you as II true
gentleman. You have so conserved
the interests of democracy that we all
believe you have Il future that will
place you high in the councils of the
party in the state and in the nation"
Mr.. McGoorty replied pleasantly
and feelingly. The applause was
equally loud on both sides of the
chamber when Mr.. McGoorty con-
and MIR. Allen closed the Incl
dent by saying: ION behalf of the
side of this house l say,
Brother McGoorty, God bless you"
In the senate fitting testimonials
were presented to Lieut.. Gov. w. A.
Northcott, and the president pro tenn,
Walter Worden.

Additional Burden Not Contemplated.
The Hass case was heard some few
months ago, the arguments consum-

asked that the Peoria be enjoined from
laying a track III front of his property
on First avenue. Judge Gest held
that the company did not contemplate
any additional burden upon adjoining
land, but simply proposed to change
side track into main track, and
the alleged wrongs contemplated, if
any, were not sufficient to warrant
the issuance of an injunction.

'Hindsight" Is better than foresight in
some contingencies, and a man who ap-
preciates that fact has laid the founda-
ton of modest fortune in securing a
patent upon a novel little device which
supplies "hindsight to the people who
need 1t most says the New York Journal
"A post-visual reflector is what Mr.
Allan Taylor calls his new invention upon
which letters patent have just been
issued at Washington 1t is an arrange.
ment of adjusted mirrors which enables
the wearer to see everything occurring
within certain range behind his back
without turning his head. Literally 1t
realizes the proverbial possession of
"eyes in the back of ones head
The post-visual reflector will be useful
to jockeys, drivers of trotting or pacing
horses, oarsmen, and bicyclists. Mr.. Tay-
lor, prominent hotel man Of this city
and Boston. is devotee of Eight har-
ness racing and a gentleman driver of
wide renown. He knows the advantages
to the driver who can watch the per-
torrance of antagonists in closely
fought whipping finish,'' and at the same
time keep his eyes upon the work of his
own horse. The invention was born of
e'AoI AiioWlCu5S Sdiueu lTOH actual 6X-
perience.
For drivers and jockeys the post-visual
refectors are fastened to the bows of
pair of big spectacles fitted with clear
glasses Of no magnifying power. The
glasses are intended as mud guards, to
protect the eyes from the dirt thrown up
by the horses flying feet. The little re-
Electors are fastened above the glasses
and set at an angle which brings the full
width of race track for distance Of
100 yards within clear range of vision Nc
Donald. the celebrated driver, has tried
the device and gives 1t his enthusiastic
praise.
For oarsmen and bicyclists the post
visual reflector is as valuable as 1t is to
horsemen. Hardly a season passes but a
dozen or so valuable racing shells on the
Harlem, the Thames, the Schuylkill, or
the Charles are stove in by collision with
hoating logs by reason Of the oarsmen' S
inability to look out ahead" and few
bicycle race meetings but are marked by
one or two disastrous spills due to
"hind-end collisions"
Oarsmen and bicyclists do not need the
mud guards, and for them a second patent
issued to Mr.. Taylor provides for the ad-
Justment of the refiectors to a light head
band, which holds them In exact relative
position to the eye, no matter at what
angle the head of the wearer may be
turned.

STARTED A BALKY HORSE.
Gotham Beasts Must Now Pick
Ground Before They Halt.

New York Sun
People near the New York entrance of
the bridge saw balky horse frustrated
with delightful ease the other day by a
man who openly confessed that he had no
practical or theoretical knowledge of
Craftsmanship. He was the motorman
or Fourth avenue car, bound toward
the terminal at the bridge. The horse
was one or those angular, cock-eyed, I'M
calmly beasts that no amount of curry
Ing and feeding could make respectable
This particular beast had not been SO
treateo tnat Its natural ugliness was in
the least diminished
1t had stopped square in the middle of
the track and had spread its feet apart
as though Its mind was made I'D to hold
the street against the world. In a few
minutes four trolley cars were backed I'M
behind the cart, and more were in sight
down Center street. Motormen, conduc-
tors, truck drivers assorted citizens and
policeman stood around and gave the
usual advice. The driver kicked the horse
and two or three men called to the DO
nceman to stop him. Then they in turn
made humane suggestions about starting
fire under the beasts stomachA woman
said that 1t would be easy enough for
anyone to coax him along with a lump
Of sugar.
The motorman Of the fifth trolley car,
Which had by this time reached the end
of the blocked line, walked up and sur
veyed the situation.
Whose car is this?' he asked, pointing
to the first car that had come up behind
the wagon to which the balky horse was
attached.
Its mine," said another motorman,
who was lingering brass motor handle
as though he would like to brain the
horse with it.
The motorman from the rear hoisted
the cars front fender and strapped 1t in
place, folded against the dashboard.
NOW" he said to the motorman who
had claimed the car, "go ahead, very
easy" Then, turning to the disconsolate-
ly profane driver of the horse, he said
.'Get up and take hold of the reins.'
The car ran forward until the fender
reached the tailboard of the wagon

WITTMER-M'LEOD MATCH.
1t Will BE WrestIed mt Mozart Hall
March %.

The articles of agreement for the
wrestling match between Dan Mcleod
and Chas. Wittmer. of Cincinnati, were
received yesterday by the st. Paul Ath-
letic club under whose auspices the
match will take place. They call for a
mixed wrestling match. Graeco-Roman,
catch-as-catch-can for a purse of $500 Of
fered by the club. The winner is to take
rs per cent and the loser Is per cent of
the purse. The match is to take place at
Market hall, March rs. Judging from the
interest already taken In this match 1t
certainly will be the banner event of the
season. Wittmer has number of friends
in st. Paul who say they will back him
to the extent of $500. Wittmer Is the I'M
disputed Gracco-Roman champian of
America, having never suffered defeat In
this style, and was only defeated by Nc
Leod in a straight catch can
match after three of his ribs were bro
ken. He is the only man in America who
was a match for the terrible Turk YOU
souf. He and Yousouf wrestled three
hours straight without a fall. He is
giant in strength and stature and weighs
210 pounds He does not carry and extra
flesh whatever, but is all muscle.
