famous horses. MT. Gentry possesses
 every qualification of true gentleman.
 He has never been associated with the rough element that frequents the tracks,
 though on many occasions such connec-
 tions would have resulted to his pecu-
 niary advantage.
 T have been frequently accused of
 taking advantage of an opportunity to
 place my name before the public by
 naming after myself the great horse that l owned and raced. It is true that the animal was named after me, but I assure you that I was not responsible for having named him. I believe that l have received no little advert!s- ing solely on account of the record of the horse. I have never told the true story of how the horse happened to
 bear my own name. When l bought him in Wichita, Kan, he was but a small colt and looked more like a New foundland dog than anything else. His hair was long and so uneven that in appearance the colt approached the ridiculous. When I took him down to the farm near Sedalia, the hired hands laughed at my purchase, and declared llletl tllSy WOulu not allOW SuCn an ufl- prepossessing- looking animal on the place. The feeling against the ugly duckling reached such a high pitch that be was given but little attention, and I was almost tempted to dispose of him. l decided to keep him, however, and that ugly little colt was named John R. in spirit of fun on the part of my hired hands, and, as such action was most uncompimentary to me- told the men to refrain from testing with me in that manner They assured me that the naming of the colt was simply a joke, and, as it was all in spirit of fun, I did not name the horse myself but all lowed the men on the place to continue to call him after me. The colt grew up and was still quite homely in appear ance, but by that time 1t would have cost me $50 to change the name on the registration books of the association. So he was called after me, and In later years became the most famous of pac- CTS. l campaigned him all through the grand circuit, and, as my reputati de- pended simply on theGname of my horse, owe my own personal success to the attempts of my hired men to make fun of me by naming the homely colt John | R.

RAILROAD AFFAIRS.
Heavy Freight Business Telegraph
 Operators May Strike.

Heavy Freight Business Telegraph Operators May Strike.
 It is reported from Massachusetts and Rhode Island that there is a possi-
 bility of a strike by the telegraph op.
 orators of the Consolidated road from
 Cape Cod to New York city. The off,
 cials of a branch of the Order of Rail-
 road Telegraphers say that the men
 have had these grievances for a long
 time and the upshot of the matter was
 that they petitioned the railroad off, cials to see if some concessions would not be made. It is, claimed that no at tention was paid to their petition. The petition sent to the Consolidated road asks for an increase from $1.75 to $2.7 per day for the men who work in tow CT and handle twenty-five or more lev CTS. They also ask that eight hours shall constitute days work and that a vacation be given men who work sev- en days week, and also that all oper- ators be placed under the supervision of division superintendent The com pany has ten days in which to answer the demands of the telegraphers. In case of a strike the company can use it's telephone service for operating trains until the places of the strikers are filed An official of the railroad company de- nies the story that a prominent opera tor was dropped because he belonged to the organization of the operators The reason was that he left his work at busy time to attend a convention.
 The Consolidated road has just placed orders for the construction of 800 stand ard coal cars. They are to be built at the Watson shops in Springfield at the Bradley shops in Worcester, and at Keitha on the line of the old Colony railroad system. It is expected that a portion of the cars will be delivered about September l. The cost of these cars will be about $500 each
 Says the Stamford Republican: "The insinuation that Governor Lounsburv is to become a United States sena- tor and is therefore trying to secure public popularity by opposing the Con- solidated railroad is unworthy. And just why the public should be opposed to the Consolidated railroad is a mys- tery, also. The Consolidated has done more for the people along it's myriad ines than any other similar corporation since railroads were instituted"

WALLINGFORD HAPPENINGS
WILLI4M 4. W4KEEIELD'S HOUSE
 STRUCK BY IGHTNING.
The Ball Game and Golf Tournament Stopped by the Ruin-Death of Mrs. Lucy Beatrice Mooro-Principal Fiske in BostOn-Other Borough Items.

During the heavy shower Saturday afternoon lightning struck the house of William A. Whitfield 43 North orchard street, tearing a hole in the roof and scattering some of the bricks in the chimney. The inmates were badly frightened Mrs. Whitfield was so over come that she was rendered unconscious. Mir. Whitfield rushed into the street and gave the alarm. Some one else thought the house was on fire and started for Han & Elton company's factory and a fire alarm was sounded by the gong. The other factory gongs responded and the fire department turned out in the pouring rain only to find that there was no fire and that their services were not needed. The ball game between the Wallingfords and Morse's Business col 1ege team of Hartford was well under way when the rain began falling. Three innings had been played, with the score 3 to in favor of the Hartford team. The rain stopped the game. The ladies golf tournament at the East Center street links came to a sudden stop and the players and spectators hustled for home and quite a number got thor ough drenching. The auction sale of building lots at Fairview park closed suddenly and will be finished next week Saturday. The rain, notwithstanding the havoc it made in the various sports, was welcome visitor and did great deal of good everywhere, especially among the farmers crops, which were Sbadly suffering from the long drought. Yhis is the first rain of any amount that has fallen here for many weeks, and it's great value can be hardly estimated.
 Miss Lucy Beatrice Moore died Sat urday morning at the home of her sis ter, Mrs. Ernest Hinckley of Simpson avenue, aged twenty years. The de- ceased came here two weeks ago from Newark, N. J., in the hope that the change would benefit her failing health. Nhe remains will be taken to Newark for burial on the 7:29 train this morn ing.

CHINESE BOY GOES TO scuoOI

| CHINESE BOY GOES TO SCHOOT, When Chinaman takes his little bov 10 school to Introduce him to his teach CT it is done as follows, according to a missionary writer:
 When the Chinaman arrives at the school he is escorted to the reception room, and both he and the teacher shake their own hands and bow profoundlv Then the teacher asks, What is your honorable name?"
 My mean, insignificant name is Wong"
 Tea and pipes are sent, and the China man sips and puffs for a quarter of an hour before he says to the teacher, What is your honorable name?"
 My mean, insignificant name is Pott."
 How many little stems have you sprouted?" This means, How old are you?"
 T have vainly spent thirty years"
 Flow is the honorable and great man, the teachers father?"
 ''The old man is well.'
 ''How many precious little ones have you?"
 T have two little dogs" These are the teachers own children.
 "How many children have you in your illustrious institution?"
 q have hundred little brothers"
 Then the Chinaman comes to business
 ''Venerable master" he says, q have brought my little dog here, and wor- shipfully intrust him to your charge"
 The little fellow, who has been stand ing in the corner of the room, comes forward at this, kneels before the teacher, puts his hands on the floor and knocks his head against it. The teach CT raises him up and sends him off to school, while arrangements are being made for his sleeping room, etc. At last the Chinese gentleman arises to take his leave, saying, q have torment ed you exceedingly today to which the teacher responds, "Oh, no; I have dishonored you" As he goes toward the door the gentleman keeps saying, II am gone" And etiquette requires the teacher to repeat, as long as he is in hearing, Go slowly-go slowly."- Detroit Free Press.

John R. Gentry, the well known horse- man. formerly of Sedalia, but now of St. Louis, was in the city recently MT
 Gentry is perhaps the best known horse man in the country, and his notoriety is due principally to the fact that he was once the owner of the great pacing horse John R. Gentry, 2:00A, MT.

panied by Admiral Farquhar the new COM

naval duties. Further than this point, the
department has not yet undertaken to define

Generally Conceded Arbitration R-sults

GLOBE SOUNDS ONLY DISC0RDANT NOTE
Venezuelan boundary settlement u
Powerful Incentive TO Future
Resorts to an Inter-
national Court
6 SOUNDS ONLY DIsCoRDANT NOTE

LONDON, Oct. 4-The award Of the
Anglo-Venezuelan boundary arbitration com
mission is regarded by the afternoon papers
as emlnently satisfactory from the English
point OF view, but as hardly a proof Of the
practicabilty OF universal arbitration. The
Pail Nall Gazette says: without doubt
Great Britain has done urCommonly well, as
is proved by the comments of former Presl-
dent Harrison. II 1t we're not already
sufficiently obvious, it is now made clear
that the arbitration has shown the disposl-
tion Of one government to be patient and
pleasing, rather than risk a sinful and un-
natural quarrel This must have its i'm
preston in America and thus must have
sown good seed, which has already grown
into fourishing plant"
The st. James Gazette says "The out
come is not the result of arbitration, but or
friendly compromise as stated by Former
President Harrison. We have not got all
we wanted, nor all to which we are entitled :
but arbitration has resulted in giving
British Guiana an indisputabe title to the
northwestern district. where her future lies
Every one will gladly join in the uni
versal congratulations to the tribunal upon
the happy result OF difficult and delicate
labors'
The Westminster Gazette SAYS: "The re.
suit is decidedly satisfactory. The extreme
contentious Of both parties have been set
aside, but the substantial point is that Great
Brltain gets more than on various occasions
she mad expressed herself as willing to con :
ceoe 10 venezuela. The practical feature or
the case is that we have substantially sue.
ceeded against Venezuela while vastly i'm =.
proving our relations with the United States,
Inc award and the rapidity with which |,
was rendered cannot fail to give a strons
impetus to international arbitration"
Ihe Globe, adopting Its usual offensive
tone, says: For once arbitration has not
operated to our advantage There are 9th
ers besides the Venezuelans who should not
recognize that Great Britain will not suffer
"nat she considers her rights to be sub
)ected to the terrorism of warlike menace.
