there was good deal of rivalry as
to who owned
The Eater Horses.


A feature of the Schenectady county
fairs each year was the trotting races
in which John Ellis and young Bud
always had entries. 1t is recalled in
Schenectady how on more than one oc-
casion when the sons horse beat the
fathers the two would get into an
argument over the relative merits of
the horses. When the father was
beaten, he always had an excuse, and
to settle the matter, finally, the match
race would be arranged between the
two, each to drive his own horse II
the son won the match, the father
paid the wager cheerfully and told his
son that he never would have won had
he not had a father who knew enough
to teach him how to drive.
When Bud was reaching manhood his
father died. The business of the loco
motive works had greatly increased
since the death of their founder, and
John Ellis, holding larger block of
stock than any of his brothers, left a
fortune estimated at s2,000O0O or 3d.
100000. The greater part of this was
left to his only child, Bud. Then be-
gan the wild career which
made the young man fami-
liar figure In the Tender,oin. He
lived at the Gilsey House for several
years and then went into bachelor
apartments. About seven years ago
Ellis married Miss Eva Long, of Uti-
ca, an actress and member of a we'll
known family. His relatives We're not
altogether displeased with the match,
because they hoped that, having mar
Tied, the young man! would settle
down. He did, for time, and went
back to Schenectady with the ex-
pressed resolve of following the bust
ness of his father and grandfather.
The determination held good for only
a short period. He went to New York
one day on business and he never went
back to the shops again. His wife left
him in 1897 and obtained separation.

ldeep-sea trials. These trials extended
over period Of fifty hours, and were
eminently satisfactory. Rough weather
caused great inconvenience to the tor
pedo boat, but the Narval sank out Of
the rough surface water and remained

Snakes Sold by the Pound.

snakes can now be bought by the
pound in klamath, Ore, where there
is quite an extensive industry.
Children gather their aprons full Of
snakes as they would of wild flowers,
and little boys gather them in their
pockets for pets. Thesprice paid is 25
cents per pound and ready market is
found for them in Minnesota The
species is of a dark Color and when
full grown is about three feet long.
So great is the supply that tons of the
reptiles could be shipped annually if
there were orders for them. The
snakes are used for medicinal pur-
poses, as a superior quality of oil can
:. be manufactured from the variety
found at klamath Falls.

APPOINTMENTS
BY PRESIDENT
William Crosier Becomes Chief OF
Ordnance With Title Of Briga-
dier-GeneraI-His Ability Well
Known

washington, Nov. 22.-The President
today made the following appoint
ments:
War-William Crosier, chief of ord
nance. with rank of brigadier general;
James Miller, colonel of infantry;
Francis w. Mansfield, lieutenant col
onel of infantry; James B. Jackson
major Of infantry; second lieutenants
of infantry, William e. Roberts, Geo.
w. England, Edwin ]. Bracken,
Franklin S. Leisenring, John A. Hulen,
Answen E. Deitsch, Leonard T. Baker,
Leonard H. Cook, Thomas S. Moor
man. Jr., Waldemar A. Christensen
Herbert Gum, Thomas r. Marshall
and William C. Lecompe; assistant
surgeons of volunteers with rank OF
CAPTAIN. James A. Thomas, second
lieutenant artillery corps. Thomas q.
Suzer Professionally first lieutenant,
Philippine scouts.
State-W William B. Soraby, MISSISSIPPI
pi, consul at Kingston, jamaica; Chas.
N. Herdliaka, District Of Columbia,
consul at San Juan. He recently was
appointed to the Kingston consulate
but arranged a transfer to the con-
sulate at San Juan.
The appointment of General Crosier
was made largely upon the recommen-
dation Of Secretary Root. General Cor
sier has demonstrated his ability in
nearly every department Of ordnance
and has shown a wide knowledge OF
all affairs pertaining to his profession.
He was the military member for the
United States at the Hague peace con-
ference.
Some difference of opinion exists
among army officers as to whether
General Crosier's appointment is per-
manent or whether It is a detail Of
four years under the army reorganiz-
alton law. The opinion of Judge Advo-
cate General Davis is that the APP
pointment is permanent. General Gro
sier will not retire until 1903 and If the
contention is sustained that his ap-
pointment is permanent his term as
chief of ordnance will be nearly IS
years, and viii preclude the possibility
of any of the ordnance officers who
have heretofore ranked him securing
that grade before they are retired.

/ know a gateway where we two have
fingered
At eventide and waited for the star
That seemed our own, illuming the
long pathway
Athwart the fields where woods and
waters are.
I know a rustic bridge where we
have wandered
At twilight hour, when shone the early
moon
That climbed the heavens high ere we
had parted,
Yet seemed to pass its zenith all too
soon.
I know a woodland reached by autumn
meadows,
Where 1--we two watched the glowing
evening sky;
But mem'ries all-for star and cloud
and river
No glory hold since we have said
goodbye.
The sense of smell is one that is very
little cultivated, yet one that means a
great deal in life Recollections throng to
the minds of many people at the odor
of rose or the scent of field Of new
mown hay; even with vile smells some
old-time scenes are recalled. A friend
told me yesterday he never has a cold
but what he can smell a new furnace,
for once when he was suffering with
a severe cold a new furnace was put
into his house. The smell of paint is
generally disliked, yet to me it is de-
lightful because it is associated with
my early happy years, when a visit
to fathers shop" was rare treat.
The senses of touch, of sight and of
hearing are cultivated in school. Why
not the sense of smell?

Nine Nevada, quite unintentionally,
has set pace, to to speak, in the
matter of evening gowns in New York.
At the annual meeting of the Manu-
script Society, at the rooms of the
Metropolitan Society Of Arts, on Tues
day night, the dress of the little
cantatrice was quite as great an at
traction as the musical program. The
gorgeousness of her apparel was first
discovered by the customs officers,
who declared they had not inspected
such creations for years, and the fash
lon reporters Of the New York dailies
lost no time. on getting the tip from
the customs officials, in seeing Nine.
Nevada, to get description of them
Her gowns have tested the magma
lions of the greatest designers of
France. The white production which
was worn by the singer at the Manu-
script Society reception, where she was
the guest of honor, will probably be
worn here at her concert at the Wor-
cester Theatre, Monday night.
Probably it is not generally known
locally, outside Of Unitarian circles
that Rev. Samuel Eliot, who is to &C.
cupy the pulpit at the Church of the
Unity, tomorrow morning, is the son
of President Eliot Of Harvard College
Mr.. Eliot's noble manliness and large
heartedness are manifested In his face
and manner, and his loftiness and pur
itv Of soul shine out in his pulpit ut
terances He asks his hearers to affair
to high ideals and entertain deep abid

lives may be lived manfully and cour-
ageously. AS man and preacher
Mr.. Eliot Is charming.
