Interesting "Reminiscences of the Late Pierre Lori11ard

For his judgment about the get of the English stallion, bennington, the late MT. LoriHard will always be re- membered kindly by American breed CTS. He thought that the animal that was on farm so many years near Phil adelphia was the greatest sire that ever lived. Certainly the distinguished sons and daughters of bennington bear witness to this. Longfellow, Eo- Jus, Iroquois, Sensation, Harold, Spin away, Parole and others are monu- ments to the blood lines of the sire bennington. George Lorillard, it is hinted, first thought more of the Leam- was successful racing his get. In one and bought all of the produce of stock farms that had bennington for a sire, and was fortunate enough to acquire the illustrious Iroquois.
 It was in September, 1893, that had the pleasure of chat with Pierre Tor illard, and he told me that his physi- clan had ordered him to free his mind from cares, sell his racers and live in the open, or his ills would bring him to an early grave. He had one ambi- tion-that was to keep Lamplighter- but another idea crossed his mind, he said. He knew that Marcus Daly-the late copper king, who loved to race horses we'll as he liked to live wanted Lamplighter, and he realized

Leopoldville required five years. The negroes were treated like slaves, the Belgian overseers whipping them un- mercifully. The results were so dis appointing that they were afterward employed like the Belgian laborers and paid in accordance with the amount of work performed. They were so impressed by the fact that in- creased effort brought payment in proportion that the remainder of the road, 216 miles, was completed in four years, proving that "a mans a man for a that.''
 Their being amenable to religious teaching to a remarkable degree goes to prove that the members of the Con- go tribes may yet be made useful members of society. People who have inherited their Christianity might even profit by their example. A mis- sionary states that in one of their villages a school had been formed and they had erected church. They so reioiced in their newly-found religious experiences that they began to con- sider the condition of their regenerate ne;ghbors, of the heather natives across a great river who had not, like themselves, been blessed by Christian teaching. They said: "Those people know nothing of Jesus, while we are saved What shall we do?" In order to find a fitting answer to this query they held a special meeting and gave the matter long and careful consider. ation. The river was full of croco- di1es, the crossing dangerous, the dis tance too great for easy return tourney. Several days must be spent among those "heathen" who would, very likely, treat them with great vio- fence. Yet 50 Congo church members crossed the river and preached during three days earnestly that they left converts behind them on their return. Now church of 20 members is estab- lished in that village, who are work ing with excellent results among their neighbors. The negro temperament is emotional and responds quickly to religious teaching. The railroad ex- perience seems to indicate also that they are not indifferent to the ''main chance.'' But it would take a long and cern in them theologians, fnanciers and politicians.

tusks for hundreds of years for pur- poses of exchange, considering them of little value. In the Upper Nile re- zion, the Khartoum merchants first discovered an accumulation of these treasures. Dealers finally advanced to Katanga, thence to the Congo, after which the ivory trade steadily in- creased. On July 31, 1888, an ivory market was started in Antwerp, sell ing Is tons. In 1890 it's sales exceeded those of the Liverpool market, and in 1895 those of London. In February. May, August and November of each year, great sales are held there. There were sold in Antwerp, in 1899, 21,446 tusks from the reserves and only s,539 from newly-killed animals. The government confiscates all car casses of elephants killed without es- pecial permission.
 The latest methods of treating the natives of the Congo Free State have brought out the fact that by proper management they may be utilized suc- cessfully as laborers. This means the possibility of rapid development of the country. The building of the first 2s miles of railroad from Matadi to

from India and Siberia. According to Holtzapffel, fossil tusks from the north Siberian rivers have weighed 1S6 pounds. The average in Africa is said to be from 20 to 50 pounds. Those from the Congo are very large, weighing on an average 60 pounds. A pair, each weighing 156 pounds, were shown at the Brussels exhibi- tion.
 In the dense, almost unexplored, forests of the central Congo many herds of wild elephants are still roam ing. These are hunted by the natives for their flesh, which they prize much more highly than they do their tusks. But what they term "dead ivory" forms the greater proportion of what the Free State sends out annually. The natives have collected elephants

So long as the thoroughbred shall race in this country, the name of this foremost patron of breeding and rac- ing will be byword among followers of the turf. His name will be associ- ated with that of the late August Bel mont and William c. Whitney. Had MT. Lorillard's great Leamington- Maggie D.

Members OF the Delaware Field Club

for renting 140 acres of land on the
Kennett turnpike, near Greenyille
Church. from William DUPONT 1t is a
magnificent stretch of ground for golf
ing purposes, and will be so used by
the club members. 1t is expected that
this step taken by the Field Club will
develop into the organization of an
ideal country club.
There are a dwelling house and a
farmhouse on the farm, and both prob
ably would be used by the club mem
bers. The estate is within five min
utes' walk of the Rising Sun trolley
line.

Republicans have taken their course,
not from spite, not for reward, but for

from the Milford News and Advertiser.
According to a press report which
has appeared in a number of papers
this week Senator Hanna has taken
the pains to announce that John Ed
ward Addicks will be entrusted with
the distribution OF the Federal patron
age in Delaware. Il would seem that
BY the language Of this alleged inter-
view, the president is regarded as a
mere puppet. whose only purpose Is to
carry into effect the various whims of
the Ohio senator. Then, too. as most
Of the federal offices are under the
various cabinet heads. It appears that
the senator from Ohio has presumed
10 declare their subserviency TO his
mandate. We prefer TO think better
Of the administration. for there is
nothing to lead us TO believe that
either the president or the members
Of his official family have purposes IN
common with either Addicks or Hanna.
The declaration Of Hanna is an open
insult TO the president, who we should
Judge to be capable of discharg ng the
duties OF his high office without die
lation from such a source. Delaware

OF the lowest order-Delaware under

The lncredibility Of It
nm the Boston Herald

From the Boston Herald
In Delaware there is an attempt on
the part of a man who is not even a
citizen of that State, to foist upon its
people a United States senator whom
they have repudiated. The interference
in both instances is more than absurd
lit is outrageous; but the strange
thing about IT is that it's preposterous
character does not, first of all, impress
the public mind, and cause it to be cast
out Of an instant's serious considera-
ltion. The only way of accounting for
its not having this effect is the fact
that the sense of prOpriety in affairs
relating TO politics has become hope
lessly blunted.
Delaware, left alone, has vindicated
herself But here arises a boss to say
that Delaware shOll not be left alone
He is not even of her people, as is the
case in the instance we have discussed
in New York. He comes from far
away Ohio, but he undertakes to enter
into the politics of Delaware, and die
tate to her people what they shall dc
as regards their senatorshlp. He sends
out to them what is, in effect. a fulmi-
nation. reproaching them for havins
failed to elect this man as senator, who
would have disgraced them in the of.
flee, and threatening them with pun
ishment at the hands of the preslden
of the United States himself, unless
they retrace their steps and s,igmatiz'
their State by degrading it's senator
ship. 1t seems impossible that thii
most insolent attempt at boss-ship cal
be carried out, but we are told that th'
first step in il has already been takel
lby the president. We refuse to believ
it, II is simply incredible that a maj

not write the following paragraph:
The Union Republican party is
stronger to-day than it has ever been,
and more determined than ever to win.
The day has passed when we can af-
ford TO compromise with tho so-called
Regulars.

dered how any man having such a
shady political reputation as Secretary
of State layton possesses could insult
decent Republicans by advancing the

dicks and DUPONT To-day it is an
other seven, also Republican members of

to reply that the election of Mr..
Thompson would bd "disgraceful TO

Republican senators in the next Con-
gress. Beside this everything pales.

ize that the sacrifice of State homer, of

OF public duty are none too large a
