NEWFOLDEN AFTER THE 18th.

The celebration at Thorn Rome
berg's was a success. The Valhalla
Band, whose highly and deservedly
respected leader is Geo. Anderson,
had terminated the idea OF the cele-
bration and made it a reality by
promising to play. True to their
promise, they came, and played as
beautifully and willingly as any
band could. The weather was fine.
Thorn. Ronnsberg'a barn was filed
with people. Thesprogram consist

The afternoon out-of-duor fun was
to some extent restricted by the
character OF the ground, which,
though high and dry, and excellent,
was not prepared for certain races
requiring a wider track. Still it is
hoped that the quantity and quality
OF fun gave most people sufficient
satisfaction. The light fantastic
was tripped by q large number OF
young people till the small hours.
A regret felt By, the managers is that
owing to a mistake in the manage
'ment and also to q lack Of explicit

ment, We were unable to reward the
musicians as literally as they de.
served and as we desired.

IN recenG uumDer OF the Repre-
sentative is a picture with the head
ing, "News from Town" It repre-
sents an old gentleman with an um.
brella in one hand and satchel in
the other, travelling along country
y road and another Oldham, a farm
ser, with hoe in his hand and a pipe
in hisemouth- coming up to the road
to interview the former. "What's
new down in town." the farmer in
quires, and he receives this reply
"Wa'al, they're selling gold bricks
lots cheaper Though the illustra-
tion was probably intended to show
OFF a country innocent who had been
swindled by the common gold brick
scheme, yet it reminded us very forci-
bly, OF the fact that gold, the genuine
stuff, and not the fraudulent gold
brick, is ''lots cheaper" now than a
few years ago. During the last pres
idential campaign the argument was
continually advanced by the silver
forces that gold was getting dearer,
money was getting dearer, all the
time, and that prices on everything
else were constantly falling. 1t was
impossible, so it was asserted, for
prices to rise under a gold standard.
But the fallacy of this argument is
now being demonstrated before our
eyes every day. Since the Inaugural
ton OF President Mckinley and the
triumph OF the gold standard, there
has been a constant tendency up
ward OF prices on almost everything
except money. Interest, which is
what is paid for the use of money
and is a good index Of the value OF
money, is constantly declining.
Farmers find it possible now to re-
new the loans on their farms at a
lower rate of interest than before.
Cities. counties and school districts
can now float their bonds at a less
rate OF interest than ever before in
the history OF this country. This
has happened while prices on nearly
all farm products, on iron and steel,
and nearly all manufactured goods,
have increased. And wages have in
creased and labor is ingood demand.
Nor is the money circulation
shrinking rs it was asserted would
be the case il the gold standard tri-
umphed. More gold, silver and pa
per money are in circulation in this
country to-day than in 1896. There
has been an increase Of $426, OOO, 900
in three years. In 1895 our money
circulation was $21.1O per capita,
while on the LIST OF July this year it
was $25.38 per capita.
Time has demonstrated the iallacy
of the contentious OF the silver forces

THREE CHAMPION CHILDREN.
A Boy Who Earns Nearly as Much
Money as the President

New York, Oct. N13.-Only sixteen years
old and earning nearly as much money as
the President of the United States! This
is the accomplishment of little George
Odom, the best light weight jockey in
America, who has been engaged by Will
liam c. Whitney TO ride for him during
the next three years. Mr.. Whitney agrees
to pay this child $1,000 annually in that
time, in addition to which there is the reg
ular $25 fee of the jockey club for every
winner landed and $40 for every loser
Odom, at the same time, can ride for 9TH
er owners, and such is his skill that a
present of several hundreds of dollars will
frequently be made him for winning a
race, and the lads brother, who trains
him, expects that George will make more
than $50, goo year all told.
Many boy win envy the lot of George
Odom and, perchance, strive to emulate
him, but before doing so fet him stop and
think of the life this jockey leads. When
mounted on a great powerful race horse
like Mesmerlst, young Odom canters out
on the track invariably a gasp of amaze
ment and pity is heard from the grand
stand. The eyes of every woman are turned
on this little fellow with a baby face, and
the wonder is that he can even maintain
his seat.
There are, perhaps, fifteen horses in the
race with combinations of jockeys, skilled
and unprincipled, whose object is 10 get
Odom lin a pocket or crush him against
the raif-anything to prevent him from
winning. But this lad is not 10 be intimi-
dated and will take any chance. Thou
sands of persons all over the country are
betting on his horse, oftentimes only be-
cause Odom IS the rider.

at all hazards, and this is one of the
most dangerous feats in turf riding, 1t
means that with horses tearing along like
mad all about him, and purposely block
ing him off, that he may not get the most
advantageous position. The jockey must
guide his horse to the rail, and, if neces-
sary force him in between the rail and
another mount, whereupon he is hurled
against the staunch wooden fence with
such force that one can almost hear his
bones crunching. After taking the rail" a
boy will often be practically paralyzed for
days and the whole side of his body dis
colored.
George Odom is one of the few Jockeys
who will take the rail, and the betting
world know this. Moreover, he weighs
but eighty-seven pounds and keeps In
splendid training. Like the other boys,
he must go to bed at 8 o'clock every even
