NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-This afternoon
closed the auction sales of trotting and
pacing hortes. Complete returns show that
both the total proceeds and the average
figure for each horse are higher than ever.
The proceeds of the sale, according 10 the
official rcords. reach $S52. $50 for 702 horses.
This includes horses resold and some not
catalogued, which were offered at the close
of the auction in the nature of a postscript.
IL is not, therefore, accurate to the cent,
but gives an average of about 500 a head
for 70 horses This is SO apiece better
than last year, which, up to that time, had
been the best, and S125 apiece better than
1891 and 1898. The result of to-day's sales
alone was SS,6l5 for thirty-eight horses.

DUE TO HASTY LEGISLATION.
Ohio State Board OF Equalization Has
No Legal Status.

COLUMBUS. o.. Dec. 5.-A discovery was
made to-day by George b. Okey, an emf
nent legal authority Of this city. that the
State Board OF Equalization, which is now
in session here. has practically no legal
status, and that its acts are of no effect.
1t is claimed that this condition was
brought about by the confusion attending
the closing Of the last Legislature. The
act which the Supreme Court has held TO
be in effect amends a previous law, and
in amending ii the Legislature omitted that
part of the former law which gave il power
ID act. The discovery has created a sensa-
ton. and it is freely predicted hat litiga-
ton of a .stupendous character will follow
any changes of valuation made by the
board. Several other laws ave been in
validated, owing TO the hurried work OF
the last Legislature.

Germs of disease are often generated

poisons which scientists have denominated

with hot bread. too rich or greasy foods or
those too highly seasoned, becomes weak
