London Wine Tnsters.

One of the out of the way modes OF
getting n living In London Is that prac-
ticed by the wine tasters of the London
docks. These persons, who are supposed
to have palates of exquisite delicacy,
with much knowledge of wines, hang
about the docks, where they are hired by
both dealers and buyers to accompany
them 10 the vaults and give their opin-
ions of the various wines submitted to
them for examination. Though they care
fully avoid swallowing the wines they
taste, yet their calling slowly saps their
health, and they become Mt an early age
physical wrecks. The sensations which
they experience in sampling the wines
are of the most delicate and subtle ma
ture. 1t was one of these men who de-
tected the flavor of iron in pipe of wine
into which a shingle nail had fallen.
The language in which they describe
these sensations is altogether unique
full, sometimes, of the subtlest illusions
and analogies At trial in which the
quality of a cargo of wine was In dispute
one of these professional tasters, who
had been summoned to appear as a wit
ness, expressed the most positive convic-
ton that, rs the plaintiff contended, the
wine that had been sent was totally diff
ferent from the sample.
And how do you know that" asked
the opposing counsel.
"Oh, it is quite a different wine to my
taste. There was fine farewell flavor
about the sample which the wine sent to-
tally lacks."-Saturday Evening Post.

WORK FULL OF DANGER.
Coupling an Engine to Fast Ex-
press Train In Motion,

Zone of the most scientific pieces Of rail-
road running l ever saw" said John Rut-
gers, former employee Of a railroad
company, who has now given up railroad
ing and is engaged In business at Mil
waukee, used to be done on a road run
ming an hour and half train from Phil
adelphia to New York city, and as the
present speed of locomotives had not
then been attained it was somewhat diff
cult getting engineers TO make it. The
terrific speed maintained, together with
the constant strain of anxiety through
out the run, told heavily on the mems
nerves, and after taking the train through
few times they had TO give it up.
but to return to the scientific work |
started to tell you of. To make such
schedule every minute that could be saw
ed was counted. Princeton grade was
one drawback to the run. 1t was long
and heavy and an inevitable delay al
ways ensued there. To stop and couple
on another engine would not help mat
tiers, as the time necessary for the stop
more than equaled the extra time re-
quired to climb the grade. Finally they
tried coupling on the extra engine when
running at full speed, and the plan work
ed to perfection as long as the train was
kept up. 1t was one of the most beauti-
full pieces of work ever saw. The ex-
ira engine would be running quietly
along several miles from the grade, and
when the express came in sight the speed
of the extra would be at once increased
until it was greater than that of the on
coming train.
Then little by little the engineer would
decrease the speed and drop back until
engine and train would come together
as gently as a feather floats TO earth. A
man stationed on the cowcatcher would
couple the two engines together, and
their united strength would whisk the
train up the grade with scarce any abate-
ment of speed. The grade surmounted,
the forward engine would then be un-
coupled and would run forward at top
speed until it came to q switch which
was open and waiting for it. Into this
1t would run, the switch would be closed
and moment later the fast express
would thunder by on its way to its des-
tlnation. 1t was a pretty and scientific
sight, and, If you realized the attendant
danger, thrilling one as well to watch"

ALL THE MONEY RAISED.
Philadelphia Republicans are con-
graduating themselves upon the fact
that the one hundred thousand-dollar-
Ram tipnal convention f,nd
has been completed and that they are
assured of very successful conven-
tion. When Mayor Ashbridge took
hold of this fund there were but few
thousand dollars in bank. He worked
hard and he now has the satisfaction
of seeing his hopes realized and the
credit of the city maintained.
Philadelphia is not boastful. but she
is not given to failures. Since Septem-
ber, 1898, her generous citizens have
contributed.
slS0,000 for national peace jubilee.
$4,000 for Grand Army encamp-
ment.

position.

And now, again being put to the test

RECORDS SHOULD FALL.
In the Race Between Michael ard
 Bikes Tonight

In the Race Between Michael ard
 Bikes Tonight.
 In the language of the bicycle rac- ing enthusiasts, there will be speed to burn when Harry Bikes, the GlenS Falls wonder, and Jimmy Mi chacl, the Welsh Rarebit, meet in their fifteen-lnile motor-paced race ill Madison Square Garden tonight. The struggle between these speedy riders should form a fitting close to the brief but brilliant and successful indoor cy- clc racing season begun in the Gar den two weeks ago. After his record breaking ride of Thursday night the admirers of Bikes are confident that he will lower Michael's colors, but they are not whit more confident of victory than are the followers of the Welsh rider.
 Michael and Bikes probably are the most evenly matched pace followers in America. They have made q spe- cialty of indoor riding and when whiZ- zing around the timber tracks are seen at their best. Moreover, at the pres ent time, they are both in excellent form. This has been shown beyond dispute. Several times Michael has eclipsed the existing record in prac- tice while EllleS in Thursday nights exhibition aStOUndcd even his trainers by establishing a new indoor record at a mile for the world.
 ElkGs'S marvellous performance must 1 be credited in part to his new motor, l just re ceiyed from Paris. It is capa- | ble of five horse power. and with q nervy crew can be made to reel off
 q mile on the Garden track in 80. | Not to be OutdOne by his antagonist. 1 Michael also has procured a new pac- l ing tandem which can equal the speed l claimed for the ElkeS motor and he 1 will use it in tO-night'S contest. Each | man also has two other motors that i will be on the track tonight in readi-
 ness for use should the motor the rider
 is following go wrong. This will dis penSe with any chance of an accident deciding the race.
 Bikes and Michael put the final | touches on the training yesterday. The i Welsh mite went ten miles in the morning and ten in the afternoon. He did not extend himself either time but the watches showed an avera ge speed of 1: ID in the first trial and 1 I.
 ill the afternoon. Bikes did not trave

KID THOMAS WINS.

Easton. Dee 22.-Kii Thomas of New York and Tim McDcrmott of Jersey City met here last night before the Lehigh Athletic club in what was to have been a fifteen-r0und contest. The fighting from the start was fast and furious. Thomas doing most of the leading. It was apparent from the first exchange of blows that they were out for blood. In the first round Thomas split IcDPrmott's nose with a heavy right swing and in each sue ceeding round the New Yorker kept pounding away at the injured nasal organ In the second round McDer- mott had q gash cut over his left eye and was sent to the floor. He took the full count before facing his opponent again In the sixth round Thomas again knocked tile JerScyman to the floor. the result of Il savage blow on the left side of the jaw. When the eighth round opened it was apparent that McDermort could last but little longer. He was groggy and weak. while Thomas was without a mark. During the eighth McDermott was knocked down four times. the gong saving him from defeat in that round. When the ninth round began Thomas had but little trouble in flooring him again when McDermottS seconds threw up the sponge and the battle was at an end.
