important meeting last night and
transacted much business In the

building in exchange place and can be
seen from almost every part of the
city. 1t stands almost twelve feet in

hundreds of electric lights. 1t will
be one of the greatest advertising
schemes that was ever conceived.
everything is progressing smoothly
and the success of the fair is now as
sured. Yesterday orders came pouring
in from several cities for hundreds
more of books and the printers have
been ordered to get their presses going
for double the amount expected. Sew
eral more new attractions were added
to the list yesterday and the coming
bazaar of the Ellzs will go down in
history as one of the greatest that has
ever been held in this state.

Records Are Broken on the Memphis
Track.
Memphis, Tenn, Oct 30.-Two more
worlds records were reduced and an
other tied at yesterdays meeting of

The first special event was the attempt
of Direct Hal and Prince Direct to

by the veteran Geers, and when the
time, 2:051a. was hung out the crowd
was paced in O:325a the half in 1:O4
and the three-quarter pole was passed
in 1 :3415
Onward Silver next appeared to beat
his previous two-mile trotting record
of 4:2S11a. Driven by Hudson, the
horse made a gallant effort but only
could tie his mark.
The bay stallion Nervola was sent
against 4:2514, the pacing record for
stations at two miles. Dean handled
his horse well and at the end full
second was Clipped off the old figures.
Prince Alert failed to beat the GELD
ing's pacing record of 2:OOA, finishing
the mile in 2:O1a.
Sir Albert S was a hot fayorita FOR
the Emerald handicap for 2:O9 PAGERS.
He gave way to Carl Wilkes after the
first heat, the latter horse winning
ha1dilv.
Chain Shot beat The Abbot in the
free-for-all trot, while Hugh Wynne

Professor Dwyer and Jesse Foley Are

Jim Parr. the English wrestler, has
clinched two important matches. The
first will be with M. j. Dwyer on No
vember Z, at the Olympic club, Buff
falo, and the other with Butch
Saar, at the same club, on December
IL.
Professor Dwyer won the great
wrestling bout from j. G. Comstock
last night in the Meadow street Opera
house, New Haven, after being thrown
twice. The articles called for a match
of one hour. Comstock to throw Dwyer
four times in the sixty minutes, or
lose the match. The wrestling was
good all the way through, and the
work of both knights of the mat was
literally applauded. Comstock had
the advantage in weight by about 20
pounds. Comstock threw DWyer in
eighteen minutes, and after a rest of
ten minutes followed this up with an
other fall in seventeen minutes. In
the third period Dwyer managed to
get Comstock's head between his legs
and by catching hold of Comstock' S
leg finally forced the giant to the floor
winning the match. Jesse Foley of
this city, in the preliminary remained
the half hour with Jacob Smith. the
Flying Dutchman." The latter was
to throw Foley twice in thirty minutes
but failed
Billy Edwards of Harlem had an
other chance against John Piening al
Miners Bowery theater last night in q
fifteen minute bout, under Graeco-
Roman style. Edwards acquitted him
self surprisingly well, but was forced
to bite the dust after thirteen minutes

"A curious case of dissertation of a
grave by a superstitious population is
reported from the district of Regatta,
in Bosnia. A peasant living ina village
called Hrenovicza committed suicide
by hanging himself. Shortly afterward
"a severe drought set in, which threat
ened to destroy the crops. The peas
ants held council and, connecting the
drought with the mans suicide, re-
solved to open the grave and pour wa
ter on the corpse, in order that this
might bring the longed-for rain. Their
intentions were carried out, and the
grave was then filled again, after pray

did not come, and the villagers who had

what is the ~va.ue?" asked an ex-
press agent in a Broadway office of a
keen-eyed, sharp-nosed customer who
had handed him a. package to be sent
to a western city. Theman addressed
did not answer at once, says the New
York Herald, but glanced at d printed
card on the wall that read: always
state the value of your shipment"
IF l state the value will your com
pany pay me that mount in case the
package is lost?" asked the man in
his turn.
Certainly not, unless that is proved
to be its value" answered the agent.
IF state the value, can | prove a
greater valae if it is lost?"
you will have to ask a lawyerthat
question: replied the agent.
THAT isn't necessary, for / happen
to know the law" said the shipper.
Your company is trying to establish
an unfair rule, because it works only
one way. You are right when you say
that my statement cannot bind you. for
in case of loss you can prove the value;
but my statement would bind me. for
the court would say l was 'estopped'
by my declaration as to the value.
IF a shipper should undervalue his
shipment, thinking that thereby he
would reduce the charges, he would
have to stand by his statement, and
your notice is calculated to make him
do that very thing. You can mark
my shipment NO value stated and
then if we meet in the courts it will be
on an equal footing"

Renelit Of ENerciAe.

Next to bodily cleanliness. exercise
may be reckoned as the greatest aid
to beauty. In fact, exercise is almost
necessary to cleanliness, for it is a
great incentive to p~erspiration, which
is natures way of throwing the i'm
purities of the body to the surface of
the skin, from whence they are then
removed by the use of water. Open
air exercise should be taken every day,
but according to strength. One should
return home after walking, riding or
cycling with a sense of being pleas
ahtly fatigued, but without any feeling
of exhaustion. Exercise should be
taken regularly, and, If possible, dumb
bells should be used night and morn
ing. The corset should not be worn
while exercising with dumb-bells.
Skipping is an excellent exercise for
the figure. and IT is one of which our
grandmothers were fond. 1t is usual
with children to throw the rope for
ward when skipping. but it is far bet
ter to throw it backward. for it ex-
pands the chest much better.-Detroit

A Lost Idol.

The papers say that a New York
lawyer is suing a steamship company
for $4,000 damages for the loss of an
Egyptian idol which he shipped to
New York from Palermo. Times have
changed since the hymn writer sang
of the dearest idol | have known.
where'er that idol be-" and pleaded
to be relieved of it. Here's a man who
wants his idol back-a pretty dear one
at that. Better for him to be content
with his damages. The average col
lector's attitude toward a good old
Egyptian god must be almost too wor-
shipful to be encouraged in a Christian
country. The hymn writer's senti-
ment was safer.-Harper's Weekly.

THE POWER OF WATER.
In Certain Conditions One Pint Will
Burst n Strong Cask as Quick
ly as GunpOwder.

A single pint of water will burst a
strongly-built iron-hooped oaken cask
as quickly as though a dozen pounds
of gunpowder were exploded within
it. 1t is a well-known law of physics
that the pressure exerted by liquids
increases in proportion to their depth.
Suppose, therefore, that we have a
strong cask filled with water and
standing on end. The slaves of this
cask may be made to burst apart by
adding a very small quantity of wa
ter to what is already in the cask.
As the cask is already full, some
way of adding the water must be de-
vised. To do this a hole is bored in
the end or head of the cask, and a
long tube of small diameter is insert
ed upright. At the upper end of the
tube is a small funnel, into which wa
ter is poured until the tube becomes
full, and when that point is reached
the cask will burst.
This seems almost incredible, but it
is only a demonstration of the law
that has been cited. When the water
is poured into the tube it unites with
the water in the cask and the depth
of the water is several times as
great as it was in the cask alone. The
fact that there is only a small guam
tity of water in the tube makes no
difference, for it is now all one body,
and its depth is gagged from the top
of the tube to the bottom of the
cask.
As a matter of fact, this experi-
ment is only an artificial reproduce
ton of what we know takes place in
nature. Some of her greatest convul-
sions are caused by this very process.
Suppose, for example, that there is
a great mass of rock, under which
there is a cavity filed with water
that has no outlet. Suppose, more
over, that there is a crack extend
ing from the surface of the ground
through this mass of rock to the wa
terrified cavity underneath,-Chicago
Inter Ocean.
