SAVES FIVE LIVES.
Heroic Young Woman Stops a
Runaway at Great Risk
to Herself.

New York, Sept 4-Five persons
were saved from injury or death last
night by Miss Ada Mayo RaiIey,
daughter of Col. Charles l.. Railey, a
well known horseman of Lexington, KY.
A. H. Calef, of New York. secretary
and treasurer of the Missouri Pacific
railroad, with Mrs Calef and their
guests, Miss Alice Neale and Mrs Win
ston Rarret, of Chicago, and Miss Raj
ley, had driven in an opera bus from
Mr.. Calef"s cottage at Seabright to
Pleasure Bay, and were returning when,
after having gone some distance they
discovered that the coachnnan was not
on the box and that the horses, a pair
of powerful animals, were running
away.
Mr.. Calef jumped in an effort to gain
the horses heads, but was thrown on
the ground and the team dashed on,
every moment gaining speed.
Miss Railey, who is known throughout
Kentucky as horsewoman of remark
able skill, climbed through a. window
scarcely large enough to admit her
slender body sidewise, to the box, and,
gaining a footing on the whiff1etrees
managed to get hold of one line and
threw one of the horses, bringing the
vehicle to a sudden stop on the edge of
a ditch near the approach to the bridge
across the bay.
The frightened occupants climbed out
and with the assistance of passersby un-
tangled the animals from the broken
harness. No one was injured except
Mr.. Calef, who was severely bruised by
his fall.

COTTON EXCHANGE LAW.
Goes Into Effect Today and Arouses a
CONTROVERSY.

New York, Sept. 4.-The new cotton
commission law recently adopted by the
Cotton exchange will go into practical
effect today. The law was to become
operative on September 1, but as that
day was made an extra holiday and yes
terday was Labor day, the new rule is
really in force from today. The law, in
substance, makes it obligatory on the
part of brokers and commission houses
charging those not members of the ex-
change a commission at the rate of $40
per hundred bales for the round turn in
the purchase and sales of contracts OF
100 bales each.
Quite a controversy has arisen over
a ruling of the committee on commits
sions providing for one-half commits
sions on open contracts entered into
prior to September 1. The committee
has ruled that on such contracts the
commission charge for each purchase or
sale shall be at one-haIf of the rate for
the round turn prevailing between the
parties in interest prior to September 1.
But the charge for closing such trans
action after September 1 shall be in
accordance with the by-laws- This is
to apply to both members and non

CHURCHES TO UNITE.
Two of the Biggest Colored congrega-

Chicago, Sept. 4.-The Record says:
The African Methodist Episcopal Zion
church, representing a membership of
more than 100000 and the colcred Meth
odist church, representing an organized
body of $50, 600, will consolidate and eS-
tablish in Chicago a Methodist taber-
nac1e that will be the most costly AMI
imposing church structure owned by
colored congregation in the United
States.
Preliminary steps to the consolidation
were taken yesterday in conference at
Indianapolis, in which Bishops Alexan-
der Walters, B. G. Harris and G.. w.
Clinton and John G. Dany, collector of
the port of Wilmington, N. c., represent
ed the Zion church and Bishop L. H.
Holsey and DR.. c. H. Phillips editor Of
the Christian Index at Jackson, Tenn,
were the spokesmen for the co1ored
Methodist church Consolidation was
practically agreed upon at the general
conference of the two churches held last
spring. At these meetings conference
delegates were selected and given full
power to act for their respective organi-
cations There appears to be no differ
ence of opinion as to the course to be
pursued in the matter. The name of the
consolidated organization will be the A
NJ E. COlored Zion church, the present
bishops of the two churches will be re-
tained and the general officers divided

DR.. TALKS OF FOOD.

what shall I eat?" is the daily in
quiry the physician is met with. I do
not hesitate to say that in my judgment,
a large percentage of disease is caused
by poorly selected and improperly pre-
pared food My personal experience
with the fully cooked food, known as
Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely
of its merits.
From overwork. I suffered several
years with malnutrition, palpitation of
the heart, and loss of sleep Last sum
mer was led to experiment personally
with the new food. which used in con-
junction with good rich cows milk In
a short time after I commenced its use,
the disagreeable symptoms disappeared.
my hearts action became steady and
normal, the functions of the stomach
were properly carried out and again
slept as soundly and as well as in my
youth.
s'I look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect
food, and no one can gainsay but that
it has a most prominent place in ra-
tional, scientific system of feeding. Any
one who uses this food will soon be con-
vinced of the soundness OF the principle
upon which it is manufactured and may
thereby know the facts as to its true

PROUD OF HIS COLT.
Whitney Offers to Race BalIyhoo Bey
Against Tommy Atkins.

New York, Sept. 4.-The World prints
the following:
The rivalry between w. C. Whitney
and James R. Keene promises to re-
suit in one of the greatest match races
the American turf has had. Mr.. Whit
ney says he has the champion colt of
the year in Ballyhoo Bey. Mr. Whit
ney states that he will match Ballyhoo
Bey against either Tommy Atkins or
Commando, the choice of the Messrs
keeneS may name. He will also give
them the choice of distance for the
race-either seven furlongs or a mile
In an interview he expressed himself as
follows:
Yes, I will match Ballyhoo Bey
against Tommy Atkins or Commando
Just as soon as my colt is in shape to
race. All I desire is a little time in
order that the injured leg may re-
cover properly. Then we can decide
which is the better horse, Ballyhoo Bey
or Tommy Atkins I will race BallyIioo
Bey for any amount a side at seven fur
longs or a mile, the latter preferred
Just to show that think Ballyhoo Bey
was the best colt on Saturday last
will give to the winner the amount
added to the FIatbush stakes by the
Coney Island Jockey club. The only
stipulation make to the proposed
match is that both colts carry the same
weight"
stake of $4,000. In order to make it
worth that amount the Coney Island
Jockey club had to add $4,000 to the
entrance sweepstake and the starting
fee. The addition of similar sum by
Mr.. Whitney attests the strong faith he
has in Ballyhoo Bey. 1t is now up to
the Messrs Keene to decide whether
there will be a race.
