AN UNFORTUNATE THROW.

Many people who were at the Gran
ite City T'rotting Park Thursday and
saw the -for-all, wondered what
made the The Maid" break on
the last heat when near the finish as
the mare had trotted very evenly be-
fore. The secret is now out. Some
one threw q stone at her as well as a
large stick and made her break. This
act was seen and has been reported to
the management. And what is more
the stick and stone have been picked
up and are in the possession of Messrs.
Rugg < Campbell.
A, is we'll known many people had
money up on j. Z. Bailey's horse, "E
E. Knott to win the race and the
first money. He had already won the
drst two heats but had lost the next
two 50 that this was the final decid-
ing heat. The race had shown very
plainly that the Montpelier horse was
not the equal Of the mare. Something
must be done to throw the heat out
and thus give "E. E. Knott" another
chance to win heat. So the mare
was made to ''bre TX" in the home
stretch in hopes that the judges would
either order the heat run over or give
the race to ''E. E. Knott"
AS viewed from the press stand the
heat was very fair one. 1.-The Maid
took the lead and held it so that the
best that Sunderlin could do with "E
E. Knott was to keep him in the rear
of the mare. As the two horses came
into the home stretch the mare was
trotting well IN the lead and very
evenly. In her rear was the gelding
with Sunderlin lashing the air with
his whip in an endeavor to make the
mare break badly and at the same
time urge his horse to still greater
speed. Some sixty yards from the tin-
ish the mare was seen to 60 into the
air all at once as if struck suddenly,
and had crossed the line before she
could be brought to her feet again.
Although only about 200 feet from
the finish and with the mare acting
badly the very best Sunderlin could
do was to land "E. E. Knott" second
by about half length behind "The
Maid" Had the mare not broken as
she did she wonld have landed a win
ner by two or more lengths Who the
parties are that threw the stone it is
not stated, but it is probable that
some action will be taken against
them. 1t was very deSpicatle liece
of business and one that every true
friend of hoLest sport Will condemn

MUST HAVE LICENSE

Boston, July l.-Atty. Gen. Knowl-
ton has rendered an opinion to the in
surance department upon request re-
garding whether clerks employed by
licensed brokers must be licensed to
solicit or broker insurance.
In his opinion the attorney general
says that the certificate Of broker is
personal to the license, and that,
therefore, he may not delegate his
authority,to an unlicensed person even
though he be his clerk A man under
the pretenSe Of being a clerk cannot
lawfully be solicitor or broker Of in
surance. excepting so far as such work
is under the immediate direction Of
his employer, and is incidentally a
part Of his work as clerk
This expression OF opinion was in-
yited by the insurance department on
account Of the recent decision OF a
Judge ia Fall River vino held Nthat
Commissioner Cutting was wrong in
his Interpretation Of the laws on this
point. The attorney general COM
pletely sustains the attitude assumed
by the insurance department.

The Most Remarkable Situa.
tion Ever Known

Ithaca, N. Y, July S.-All Ithaca
is suffering from frog pest after the
recent heavy rains. The frogs ap-
peared in great numbers. The ground
in the vicinity Of Renwick Park is
covered with them.
A train which left for Auburn late
last night had difficulty in working it's
way through the myriads which ap-
peared on the track, which became SO
slippery from the ones killed that the
wheels would not take hold Of the
rails. Traffic on branch Of the Ith-
aca Street Railway running on Stew.
art avenue. has been impeded and
Thousand; Of the frogs appeared in
the vacant lots south Of the Fiske Nc
Graw man sion.
The little animals have invaded
houses and destroyed many of the
gardens of the residents of the lower
part OF the city. 1t isiditticu!t to pro-
ceed on the walks in that vicinity.
1t is thought that the frogs came
down during the heavy rain Yesterday.
Another explanation is that they have
come from the SwampS east Of Rem
wick. AS result OF the wet season
many OF the pools are left in that
vicinity atfording opportunities for
the breeding Of tadpoles.

A GOOD INVESTMENT

For once western investment has
come out well for the people who put
their money into it. The case in
question is that Of the Calumet Land
& improvement Co., whose stock is
now held at top figure. An agent
Tor this company came here three
years ago and opening an office in the
Bol' 'ter building began to interest
people in bis company. But the
Spanish American war broke out and
that stopped all business for the time.
This company owned lot Of land
on the lake front OF Chicago near the
mouth OF the Calumet river.
Much OF the land was marshy and was
therefore considered of very little
value. In fact one man said that if
the people wanted to buy that kind OF
land they could find plenty OF it here
right at home.
This land was situated at Indanna
small town in the state OF Indianna
but within the corporate bounds Of
the city Of Chicago. Lately some
eastern capitalists among whom are J.
I. Morgan and j. d. Rockefeller, are
to build large steel plant there,
claimed to be the biggest in the
world. To do this they will drain the
msrshes and will dredge the Calumet
river so that the largest ocean steam
ships which sail for Europe from the
port OF Chicago can load at the large
wharves which they will build there.
This has given the place great
boom anG all land in the vicinity is
held at top figures so the holdings Of
this company. which are among the
best, are rated at very high figures.
There is not much Of this stock held
in this city but what there is cannot
be bought at anywhere near its origi-
nal cost.

An Outside Interest.

Women, above all, need fad. 1t
saves them an infinite amount of time
spent in idle ways. The woman whose
hobby is ferns is going to find it more
to her liking to go hunting for them
and to watch their dainty develop
ment than she is to waste her hours
in idle gossip, or her time, eyesight,
and nerves in some of the kinds of
work that the woman without a fad
adopts. Woman's outlook is often so
circumscribed that fad is positive
blessing to her and keeps her fro "a
narrowing to the dimensions of her
own rooftree alone. In one of the
smallest towns in Maine, twenty years
ago, lived a woman who was an inval-
id. The doctor reused her interest in
minerals. She gained her health and
she also gained wide reputation for
her knowledge of minerals, and all
with no more outfit at starting than a
desire to be well once more, and to
distract her hours of p ain. Equal OPP
portunities lie in the path of everyone.
Most persons walk around them and
are the richer therefor in health and
Zest in living.

HOUSEHOLD.
LEAKS IN THE HOUSEHOLD.

A list of mistakes likely to be made
by inexperienced cooks and house
keepers, furnished by the Sanitary
Home, contains no end of useful hints.
Here it is:
In cooking meats the water is
thrown away without removing the
grease, or the grease from the drip
ping pan is thrown away.
Scraps of meat are thrown away.
Cold potatoes are left to sour and
spoil.
Dried fruits are not looked after and
become dry and wormy.
Vinegar and sauce are left standing
in tin.
Apples are left to decay for want of
sorting over.
The tea canister and coffee box are
left open.
when they could be used in making
good soups.
Sugar, tea, coffee and rice are care
lessly spilled in handling.
Soap is left to dissolve and waste in
water.
Dish towels are used for dish cloths,
napkins for dish towels and towels for
holders.
Brooms and mops are not hung up.
More coal is burnt than necessary
by not closing hampers when the fire
is not used.
Lights are left burning when not in
use.
Tin dishes are not properly cleaned
and dried.
Good new brooms are used to scrub
kitchen floors.
Silver spoons are used in scraping
kettles.
Mustard is left to spoil in the cruise.
Vinegar is left to stand in tin vessels
until they become corroded and
spoiled.
Pork spoils for want of salt and beef
because the brine needs scalding.
Pickles become spoiled by the leak
ing out or evaporation of the vinegar.
Cheese is allowed to mold or be
nibbled by mice.
Woodenware is left unscaIded and /
left to warp and crack.
These may seem small leaks but in |
the aggregate the loss is considerable. |

Whistle Again.

George, George, mind; your hat
will be blown off if you lean so far out
of the window" exclaimed a fond
father to his little son, who was trav-
cling with him in railway carriage.
Quickly snatching the hat from the
head of the refractory youngster,
papa hid it behind his back.
"There, now, the hat has gone!" he
cried, pretending to be angry. And
George Immediately set up a howl.
After time the father remarked:
"Come be quiet; if whistle your
hat will come back again.
Then he whistled and replaced the
hat on the boys head. "There, it's
back again, you see." Afterward,
while papa was talking to mamma. a
small, shrill voice was heard saying:
"Papa, papa, I've thrown my hat
out of the window! Whistle again,
will you?"-American Boy.

A Dealers Complaint.

A Boston liquor dealer recently
made the following complaint, which
contains great deal of encourage
ment for people that do not happen to
be liquor dealers: "To begin WITH"
he said, "there is the multiplication of
saloons, but of even more moment in
my mind is the fact that the younger
generation is not drinking as the old
did IN the past. No matter how good
socially men were, they thought moth
ing of setting in for drinking bouts at
tables or at the bar. Now the aver
age man, if he drinks at all, either has
it at bis house, bought in bulk, SO that
the retailer is out, or else he drops in
for drink in hurry. It hurts my
business. &c. e. World.
