anv excitement at the fair grounds with
his trotter or PAGER must have a good
Dne and that is just what John L. wiede-
man has
Mr.. Wiedeman went down TO the track
Vyith his famous Edith W, that has a
pacing record Of 2-o6 IA for a drive. He
is training for the races down on the
grand circuit and OF course all the horse
men we're watching TO see what the great
mare. could do this spring. Some Of them
we're on record as predicting that Edith
". had made her best race, but Wiede-
man has been closing that left eye
little bit closer and telling them TO
withhold their judgment until the racing
season of 1901 is over. He told the boys
that he was going 70 give Edith four
mile jog and he wanted them 10 hold
1heir watches on her in the last quarter
of each mile.
There was a comparison OF watches
when she made the last quarter Of the
first mile in thirty seconds. They wanted
TO be sure it was right. The little mare
was given a twenty minute rest and
started on the second mile and when
she finished the last quarter Of this one
in just thirty seconds the boys jumped
down out OF the grand stand to congratu-
late Wiede1nan. But when she was given
two more miles finishing the last quarter
Of each mile IN thirty seconds there was
the biggest commotion ever seen among
horsemen and they declared that Edith
w was the fastest PAGER in the world
and could throw the dust into the eyes
Of john R. Gentry and Joe Patchen-
EVfedeman now had the track and he
kept right along surprising them. He
brought out his fine young stallion, John
Lomond, and paced him one mile finish
ing the last quarter in just thirty sec
onds. That was the biggest surprise of
ALL and the boys declared that Wiede-
man could drive any of his horses the
last quarter in thirty seconds. Some of
the swipes said that Wiedeman must
have hypnotised all the watches on the
grounds. They al knew that Edith ".
was one Of the greatest mares in the
world, but the idea OF a young horse like
John Lomond, just forty-one months old
and with bat little training. making such
time was considered marvellous.
Mr. Wiedeman was the best pleased
man IN the city last night He said he
had driven John Lomond some. but yes
terday was the first time he was ever
hitched 10 a racing sulkey. He actually
believes that John Lomond win make
the greatest horse in the world and VIE
deman knows a thing or two about
horses. The swipes down ut the fair
grounds can explain how Wiedeman fails
to drive right for good time, but his
horses get there just the same.

one who rode some. J. b. Chandler had

MARRIAGE AND LONGEVITY.
Statistics of Interes: Given by q Ger
U,Hu Doctor

LONDON, March 9-Many theories have
been propOunded regarding the secret Of
longevity. To them the German DR..
Prinzing adds marriage as at any rate
distinctly conducive to long life. Among
many proofs he marshaled an article in
the 'AIlgemeines Statisches Archiven."
and quoted the fact that the percentage of
deaths among priests is greater than
among their Anglican brethren. The
deaths of Catholics who took vows of
celibacy were chiefly due to diseases of the
organs of circulation, including cerebral
paralysis.
Commenting on this theory the "BOer-
sen Zeitung quotes statistics to prove
there is greater mortality among hus-
bands and wives who have lost their con
sorts than among those still married.
Suicide is also more frequent among
the unmarried than married, less so
with Widowers. and very much less so
among the married, while among women
suicide is very seldom among the married,
and more frequently among widows of
almost all ages than among married wO-

il is always possible to claim damages
