ON CHENILLE TRACK
CLEVELAND RACES INTERPRETED
WITH BY THE STRIKE.
Charity Took One Race Over the Ea-
vorite-Another Favorite Turned
Down I'm nm Unfinished Race.

CLEVELAND, o., July A.-The Grand
Circuit races began to-day under favorable
weather and track conditions, but the at
tendance was somewhat disappointing, ow-
ing to the street-railrcad strike. There were
four events on the programme, the 2:14 trot,
2:1s pace, 2:27 pace and PIG trot. Only two
races were finished, one being postponed en-
tirely and the other going over unfinished.
The race of much interest was the 2:14 trot.
Altoka was a hot favorite before the race
began, but he only got one heat, and after
hot finishes between Charley Herr. Donna
teila and Altoka, Chanty finally landed the
race.
Macmillan, the favorite, would have won
the GIG pace with ease in the first three
heats but for an accident to his sulky in the
first heat The heat was finished on one
wheel and McCarty was thrown at the
wire, but no other damage was done. 1t
took the favorite until the fourth heat to
recover himself. and then he went out, win
ming he pleased The pools sold with
Macmillan favorite at $50. Gypsy Red s25,
Star Hal and Sweet Violet SO each and the
remainder of the field SIS.
The 2:T pace was the most disappointing
of all for the talent. Harry o. was picked
as sure winner and was played very Wig
orously at any price. Sphynx s. was too
speedy. however. and he won the two heats
o. in the first, and Grin B. in the second.
The 2:19 trot went over until tomorrow.

Yield of Gold in the rraasvaa,.

The latest published returns show ing the yield of gold in the Transvaal are said in London to be eminently satisfactory to those persons financial Iy interested in the Rand. The entire Transvaal yield in June was 467, ,271 ounces, or 819 ounces better than in the preceding month. the latter return be- ing the previous best on record. So far this year each monthly return since February has been over 100000 ounces better than the corresponding yield iii 1898 In fact, up to date, the 1889 yield is some 625, 1000 ounces above the showing af the corresponding period in 1898. Here are the total yields of the Transvaal since 1894, when the records showed 2,024,159 ounces: Tn 1895, 2,277, ,635 ounces; 1896, 2,28o,8S5 ounces; 1897, 3,034,474 ounces, and 1898, 4,555,- GOO ounces. London fnanciers do not deem It possible that this extraordin- ary showing can be maintained throughout the year, owing to the dis turbed political situation and particu- larly to the fact that the exodus of labor from the Rand seems to be as- suming serious proportions.

GETTING ABOUT PARIS.
The Street Cars and Omnibuses of the
 City and the Rates of Fares.


 The means of passenger transit in Paris is something that will interest a great many people the coming year, in view of the throngs that will visit the exposition. It is effected by electri- city, steam, compressed air and horse power. There are three tramway lines serving Paris and the suburbs, and ona- nibuses are generally used throughout the city. One of the aforementioned tram lines belongs to the Compagnie Generale des Omnibus, and the other two are practically controlled by the same company; so that it can be said to have a monopoly of the entire pas senger transit, exclusive of cabs and carriages. It is 9 stock company. or ganized in 1855, having obtained from the city the exclusive right to transport passengers from one point to another in the city of Paris. The concession expires on the 31st of May, 1910. The omnibuses are of two sizes, and drawn by two or three horses, respectively The smaller model is arranged for 2S to 30 places (14 outside, II inside and two on the platform). The larger model affords accommodations for 20 OH top and 20 inside, including four on platform The fare on the top is 15 eentimes fnear 3 eents): inside and on platform, 30 centtmes (nearly s cents1. The payment of the aforementioned fare entities the passenger to a 4eor- respondencea or transfer ticket to an- other connecting or intersecting line. No passengers are taken on when the places are filed, either at a station or en route. At the starting points num- bered tickets are handed to the pas sengers, and when there are more than enough to fill one conveyance the pre- eedenee is given to those holding the first numbers. The next omnibus or car starting begins with the number last uncaIled on the previous vehicle. The same system prevails at the fixed stations en route for vacant places. No standing in the aisle is allowed. The statistics for 1896 show the number of passengers carried as follows: B lines of omnibases (26 to 30 plaees1. 5o030,= 034; II lines of omnibuses (40 places), 79,349 631; 3 lines of steam tramways, 12,862, ,990; g lines of horse tramways, ST 092, ,926; lines or compressed air and electricity, 10. .705, ,340; total, 240,- l 04o,29f The distances trayersed by the divers lines vary from about two miles to a little over four miles

cisas. II. Davis Generous Act.

Charles H. Davis, one of the wealthy citizens of Worcester. Mass. recently presented to his coachman. Otis L. Chase, and two maid servants 100 shares of Norwich and Worcester stock, valued at over $21, 1,000. He call- ed them into his library one day and told them that he had beQueathed them $7,000 each in his will, but, recognizing the fact that such instruments were liable to legal controversy which might prevent them from receiving the be- quests for some time after the win was probated. he had decided to present them that amount. He then tore up the will and gave them the stock.

PRESERVING CLIFF DWELLINGS
Movements to Turn Colorado Region
 Into National Park.


 From the Denver Republican: As 9 result of a meeting held recently at the residence of Henry Van Kleeck, a bill making the cliff dwellings region in the southwestern part of Colorado a national park will in all probability be introduced at the next convention of congress. Congressman John r. Shaf- roth, Judge George T. Sumner, Booth Malone and pr. Camden M. Cobern, with the host, constituted the meeting, Congressman Shafroth went over the details of passing such bill, and the other men present, all of whom have been on the ground, reeapitulated all they personally gathered concerning the interesting ruins below Durango. Granting that the people living in the agricultural country contiguous to the cliff dwellings made no objections to the settine aside of the land contain ing these prehistoric buildings, and he had received almost an assurance that they would not, Mir Shafroth saw no impeachment in the way of passing the bill. Maps and pictures Of the ground and ruins were carefully gone over,and studied. While the dimensions of the area were not specified, it is thought that fifteen miles, running northeast and southwest, by four CT five miles wide, will include the most important ground without infringing on any pre- cious minerals or agricultural land MT. Shafroth made eopious notes to take with him to Washington and will work for the passage Of the bill. He advises that no appropriation be asked for in the first measure. It will be sought to make some provision for the eare-tak- ing of the ruins. Excavations must be made scientifically and will be restrict ed by license. MT. Shafroth will try to enlist the interest of the Smithsonian institution. The matter will be pushed with all possible speed. At the present time tu large exploring paeti2 of 100 members each are being organized -one in San Francisco and one in the east-to visit the Maneos canyon and exeavate in the ruins.

WHERE DRINKING PREVAILS.
Patrons of Fine Saloons Take Little
 Liquor at ime.

Liquor at ! lntS.
 How can the elegant bars of the city afford to place before their patrons a better grade of liquor while charging the same price as the saloons in the poorer districts? is question frequent ly asked. The answer is simple enough. In the former drinkers never take a bath" as the saying is, but merely cover the bottoms of their glasses with liQuor, while in the latter the glasses are none too large to contain the amount the patrons require. If you can tell me how many drinks bar gets out Of q gallon Of whisky" said a veteran Of the white apron the other day T will tell you relatively where his saloon is located and what kind of trade it enjoys. The average for a business in the commercial and office center is from sixty to sixty-five. If il is patronized to any extent by the upper working classes, skilled mechan- ies, and so on, the percentage runs down to fifty. 4 fellow who wasn't t posted might suppose that indicated Workingmen were heavy drinkers, but it's just the reverse. The average up- per class mechanic drinks very sell dom. but when he does he generally takes a good one. The heavy tipplers are the chaps who take small drinks and lots of them. and a house that has very swell custom will get from eighty to eighty-fYe out of a gallon. In the tough places and dives forty would be about the figure, which rep- resents an average of exactly four 6fths of gill to each customer In such establishments the glasses are often very thick and the inside is round or the bottom. They are deceptive and even if filled to the brim will not hold over one-half of a gill, which would make sixty-four drinks to the gallon. At only five cents apiece that would mean $3.20. and as the stuff they serve does not cost more than $1 the profit is a shade over 200 per cent, which ought to satisfy even dive keeper. If a fye=eent house set out thin glasses with the black bottle it would be bankrupt in less than a week"

It Is just as easy to drift into danger as to drive into it. The progress is slower but the end IS equally sure. It Is the gradual progress of drifting which blinds to the danger. Men and women drift into i1l-health i'll such a way. There is little feeling of oppression after eating. After time it passes away. Some day 1t returns and brings another symptom headache, perhaps. Something IS done to relieve the headache, but nothing to relieve the cause. So one more victim goes drifting on to the rocks of disease.
 Young women who are teaching or studying are very apt to become victims of disease of the stomach. They eat ifl- judieiously, i1 some cases, and in gefi- eral the brain is teo occupied to allow the stomach the blood necessary to carry OH it's functions. Hence i1l time the organs of digestion and nutrition are totally deranged, and the young g5adu- ate goes home a chronic inyalidl
 The timely use of Dr Pierce,s GN gses, Medical Discovery will avert such a con- difion; the faithful use cf 1t in chronic cases will effect . eofaplete cure.

Eds. Record Union: Many bills
have been placed before the people OF
California of more or less interest to
them, with the hope of their becoming
laws. | should like to call the atten-
ton of the public to a British law,
which would benefit alike employer and
employee
This law is to the effect that both
parties shall be compelled to give a
months warning before severing their
connections, or forfeit the months pay.
The need of such a law was brought
before me by fruit rancher, who had
engaged his hands for the season One
of them left without warning or ap-
parent reason, when the season was
onhyi half over. Pay was demanded and
given
Where the worker is engaged to work
in perishable goods, the inconvenience
to employer is great
A short time ago another case came
before my notice. A lady had engaged
young girl as house assistant, or
house helper for an indefinite time.
Finding that she (the mistress) could
let her know how long she would re-
quire her services she did so, thus CIV
ing the assistant six weeks warming
At the end Of three weeks the house
helper gave the mistress three hours
warning, leaving the same night There
had been no disagreement nor dissatis-
faction expressed on either side
Now, I have no doubt that similar
cases could be brought forward to illus
trate the need of such a law on the
other side. I belieye that such a law
would be a greater benefit to employe
than to employer. Usually there are
more seeking situations than there are
situations to fill.
With the average domestic servant
the mistress is more capable of filling
her own and her servants place than
the latter is of filling hers
l should be glad to hear the opinions
of others on this subject, if you think il
worthy of publication.

NICKELS GALORE.
An Oak Park Slot Machine RiHed
Of Its Contents.

About 2 o'clock yesterday morning
thieves entered the saloon of John
Steen at Oak Park and stole therefrorn
a slot machine that was loaded to the
guards with nickels.
The thieves took the machine out
Through a window and broke it open
some distance from the saloon. They
secured, it is said, about SIS.
Two hours later Constable Borgess. of
Oak Park rounded up two young men
on suspicion of having committed the
burglary. 1t is understood that each
OF them had a bag of nickels on his
person, and that one of them had an
attack of "cold feet" admitted thar
they were the parties wanted. and told
how the job was done.
Boggess brought both men to the
sCounty Jail. The Sheriff's officers
were very reticent about the matter
yesterday, and would tell no more than
the bare fact that the arrest had been
made. Even this much information was
obtained only when assured that the
Record Union" knew the robbery had
been committed
