Saratoga Correspondent Chicago Tribune.
 The season of gambling in Saratoga ended at midnight Thursday.
 The gamblers have had a short but profitable summer There are just four places which properly may be called gambling houses-the Saratoga Club, the Chicago Club, the Manhattan Club, and tho United States Club. There are two or three others, but they cut no figure. The big money has been stalxed at these four houses, and-all but one of them has made money.
 Play has been light all summer at the United States Club. and for that reason its profits have been of the kind with which gamblers find fault, But as for the rest, Richard A. Canfield, of the Saratoga Club; James Kennedy c'Big Jim" his friends call him). of the Chicago Club, and Westcott and Tom Jolly of the Man hattan, will be richer by many thousands of dollars when they get back to New York than when they came here early in the summer.
 been the high play at the Saratoga Club. Nowhere In the world (this statement Is made on the authority of those who know the worlds great gambling houses and the business they dol has there ever been seen such high play as has been at the Saratoga Club this season. A little over $1, 900, 900 has been won and lost there in a little less than four weeks, and a fair estimate of{7he. net profits ito the house, including st9nisht's play, is S1S,OOO. As Mir CapdeFfS hSs no partner, he has to make nel division of the net profits.

 That which is considered high play by gamblers of Canfeld's measure Is that in which player stands to lose from N0.OOO to s15, 900 on the turn of a card at the faro table or the turn of the wheel at roulette. There have been many such players at the Saratoga Club this summer, but, strange as 1t may seem to some persons, they have not been professional gamblers. They have been lawyers or brokers CT merchants-in short, men of affairs, who gamble more during the time they spend in Saratoga than during all the rest of the year.
 Another strange turn which fortune mas taken at the Saratoga Club Is illustrated by the fact that with two exceptions the

THE VANDERBILT HOGS WIN.

From the New York World.
 Buffalo-The swine show developed an interesting contest Wednesday, the two judges in the Berkshire class being una ble to agree. One of them supported the merits of George W. Vanderbilt's hogs from North Carolina, and the other claimed that the Cox hogs from On tario were superior. A referee was ap- pointed. After an hours fruitless con troversy he resigned. w A. Alexander was then selected as referee. He decided in favor of the Vanderbilt hogs in the six months, one year and two-year-old classes, and gave Cox first In the class for boars under six months and the four classes for sows

Bessemer's Isolation,

Although four rural delivery routes radiate from the Bessemer postoffice, yet Bessemer itself Is not served, and it promises to be the only part of the county that will not be benefited by free delivery. Says the Bessemer Weekly:
 Birmingham is already supplied with carriers, and the installation of the new system will be outside of those limits. We supposed that the establishment of the rural delivery in this county meant the delivery of the mail to the public, not now receiving such service. We could hardly conceive that our people. central or suburban. would by any rul- ing or course of the post office depart

DICKENS IN CAMP.

By Bret Harte. Above the pines the moon was slowly
 drifting,
 The river sang below; The dim Sierras, far beyond, uplifting Their minarets of snow. The roaring campfire, with rude humor. The ruddy tints of health s On haggard face and form that droop'd
 and tainted.
 In the fierce race for wealth; Till one arose, and from his packs scant
 treasure hoarded volume drew, And cards were dropp'd from hands of
 listless leisure To hear the tale anew: And then. while round them shadows
 gather'd faster And as the firelight fell, He read aloud the book wherein the
 Master
 Had writ of Little Nell" Perhaps twas boyish fancy-for the
 reader
 Was youngest of them all- But, as he read, from clustering pine and
 cedar
 A silence seem'd to fall; The fir trees, gathering closer in the
 shadows,
 Listn'd in every spray. While the whole camp, with 'Nelp' on
 English meadows, Wanderd and lost their way. And so in mountain solitudes-o ertakeu As by some spell divine Their cares dropp'd from them like the
 needles shaken From out the gusty pine. Lost Is that camp, and wasted all it's frel And he who wrought that spell?- An. towering pine and stately Kentish
 spire,
 Ye have one tale to tell Lost is that camp! but let its fragrant
 story
 Blend with the breath that thrills With hop-vines' incense all the pensive
 glory .e That fills the Kentish hills And on the grave where English oak and
 holly
 And laurel leaves entwine, Deem 1t not all a too presumptuous folly This spray of Western pine!

Coffee county's Second Horror.

Ths second Conee County lynching displayed a wholly superfuous say, agery, for the negro had been shot dead before his body was burned. The act of burning, which has suddenly become very popular, did not hurt the negro at all, for the vital spark had fled, but it served to brutalize all who participated in or witnessed it. A limit to this savagery must soon be found, or else the reputation of this section in the eyes of the world will soon be beyond repair.
 The folly of such acts is shown in Coffee County. Less than a month ago negro was burned for commit ting a similar crime. He was burned by or at least before hundreds of the farmers of the county. The nature and story of the burning were known to all in Coffee County black or white and yet here is another case almost exactly parallel. Does not this go to show, as all other evidence does, that lynching even of the burning -at-the stake sort, does not lessen crime As some one has said, crime cannot be prevented by committing another crime. Only the law promptly and fully enforced can co that, and the sooner every county in the State learns this lesson the better for all ol us--the better fin particular for the reputation of the State as whole.

TALKS TO LloNEss IN GERMAN

New York Cor. Chicago Tribune.
 German Mary" the largest lioness in the Central Park menagerie, has been puzzling the keepers. who have been won- dering why she does not obey commands given to her In English. The animal was brought here seven years ago from Ger many, where she had spent nearly fifteen years with a circus.
 Bill" Snyder, who has charge of Ger man Mary" Is the only keeper who can make the animal mind him. He gives all commands to her in German. When she hears that language she bricks up her ears and wags her tail, but when any thing is said to her in English she appar- ently pays no heed.

Ratification is Next in Order.

There was no horseplay when the convention adjourned-none of the scenes that ordinarily accompany an adjournment of the Legislature; but there was much deep feeling, and all united in singing God Be With You Till We Meet Again" The closing scenes were orderly, and the members of the convention all felt a parting that is never to be renewed in this world, and all felt, too, that they had wrought we'll and manfully for the State. Throughout the long sessions of the convention there had been a remarkable degree of dignity andscon- sideration for eacn other, and the final hours were a fitting conclusion of the entire work President Knox and all the other members of the convention deserve well of the State, and as they go home they may be sure that the work of their hands and brains will be
 
 accepted, and that they themselves will not be forgotten.
 The action of the State Democratic executive Committee may be consid- cred part of the work of the con- vention. It met immediately after the adjournment of it, resolving "to aid in every legitimate way the ratifica- tion" of the New instrument, but leav- ing every man in the State free to vote as he pleases. oscar W. Under wood was chosen by unanimous vote chairman of the campaign committee, and a campaign of education is to be begun at once. Mr. Underwood Is an experienced campaigner, popular in all parts of the State, and he and his thirteen associates will push the work with intelligence and thoroughness un- til every voter in the State under stands the great issue.
 Governor Jelks has, it is stated, de- cided to postpone the election until about November 15. This is a wise deteymination, for every intervening day will add to the number who favor ratification. The New will speak for itself, II time be given in which to bring it to the people. The superiority of the New Over the Old is so great in so many particulars, The Age-Her- aid hopes that all possible time will be granted for its study, and that such study will be facilitated by printing the two in parallel columns in neat pamphlet for general circulation.

The Sentiment of All.

EDITOR ExAMINER:-It is with
profound sorrow and grief unutter-
able that the whole civilized world
ls bowed in tears and sorrow and
prayers for the speedy recovery of
our beloved president who was SO
recently stricken down by an assas-
SIMS bullet at the Pan-American Ex-
position at Buffalo, n. Y. With
tiendish ingenuity and devilish ~
tent, with hand swathed in the EN-
blem of purity eonceallng deadly
weapon, with hand ontstretched rs
if to grasp the hand of the president
IN friendly intercourse, and in the
presence of thousands of his admir-
crs, the fiend incarnate sent the mes
senger of death into the vitals of
the president and for a time it was
thought that the wounds would
prove fatal. III the name of God
what protection can be offered to
any government official under such
conditions?
1t would seem that the people of
this great country had already risen
IN their might to devise means to
exterminate this nest Of vipers, who
have established themselves in many
localities of this land Of liberty, for
the purpose of crime and assassin
alton.
Our public servants have been
resting supinely on their oars, SO to
speak, and allowed this country to
become breeding ground for the
commission of just such tragedies
as was perpetrated on the life Of
our president few days ago in
Buffalo. New York. When the
news reached the west, that an at
tempt had been made to assassinate
our beloved president, every head
was bowed in grief and sorrow and
thousands of study men and
women, who never prayed before,
offered up silent prayers to the III
visible God, that his life might be
spared TO carry out the.work thai
Destiny had placed upon him. Il
one thousand western men had beer
lined up next day after the at
tempted assassination and asked
all you that would take the presi
dents place and chances Of life
step forward; every last man woulc
have offered up the precious rem
l.ant of bis life, to save the chic
magistrate of our great nation, t.
finish the greatest work that ha
l'een assigned to any president
since the immortal Lincoln.

The Potato CrOp,

A short time ago the experiment sta
tion at Burlington sent out word that
the potato blight and rot threatened tc
do serious damage in Vermont this fall
Later reports from the same source say
that the fears of trouble were all realized
and that there has been in fact a consid-
cradle amount of loss already to potato
growers.
The rot follows the late blight and
comes from the same cause. Those who
have late blight in their fields, therefore,
are bound to have rot; and in all such
cases special care ought to be taken in
sorting and storing the potatoes for
winter.
The experiment station still insists
that proper spraying, backed up by
proper cultivation, will protect the pc
tato from these diseases. Continued ex-
periments and practical field tests cover
ing a period OF ten years, or more, have
proved this beyond the possibility of
doubt. Even now in the latter part of
September, when most potato vines
are dead, and many fields of potatoes
already dug, the experiment station po-
tato fields are as green and growing as
any time in July or August; and the po'
tato expert claims that they are making
potatoes now at the rate of 25 to 80
bushels week for every acre.
o Wouldn't it pay potato growers to
look into that matter?
