short time ago she started out in Toledo TO
deliver some OF the gifts. She drove a
rather sober-looking animal, who pursued
the tenor of his way calmly and deigneo
to glance neither at passers-by, flying mo-
tor carriages nor gasoline engines. When
she made her first call Miss Rachel. VINO
felt a bit disappointed that her steed proved
so unattractive. called attention 70 him.
What do you think Of the new horse papa
has given me-" she asked OF the relative
10 whom she had brought a gift.
"Umph, he isn't much Of a beauty. re-
sponded the relative, %glancing carelessly at
the horse.
NO" responded the little maid. demure-
~, he isn't much of a beauty, but he's a
good gOer." Then the relative took an
other look at the animal. and then she
gasped: why you are not driving Cres-
ceuS2'
"Oh. yes | am" returned Miss Rachel
laughingly. and she gathered up the reins
and was out of hearing before the friend
could get her breath. And so the triumphal
tour continued until a dozen or more calls
were made, and the drive was notable Tor
the reason that she is the only little girl IN
the world who has ever driven or probably
ever will drive the worlds champion ana

Jenries Replies to Fitnsimmons.

NEW YORK, April 19.-Robert Fftzsim-
mons to-day received the following tele-
gram, dated Los Angeles. Cal, from Jim
Jeffries, in reply to his message of Thurs
day last:
Your telegram received, and / sincerely
trust you are in earnest and that you mean
business. Without wasting words, you
make a big mistake in not accepting the
Los Angeles offer, as everything was fair
and just 10 you. Your acknowledgements
that a contest is impossible in the East is
only a repetition of my action toward their
bid. Your actions toward the California
bids led me TO believe you were trying to
avoid a meeting. We pledged mutually TO
agree to the best bid on a certain date. and
at that time the East had not been heard
from and you refused TO accept anything
here. l don't want to dictate anything,
but want mutual financial interests, and
will therefore communicate with clubs in
California. which will doubtless insist on
deciding what is the best date, and we
must agree on something. You deposit
$500 now with the Examiner. l will do
likewise. / am sincere in all L have done,
and sorry you have not realized the same"

Avery, Bard Palmer and John Riley.
If Nancy Hanks's great son, Admiral
Dewey, 2:14h. trains sound he will be seen

They will be under the special care of
Scott Mccoy, who will get them ready for
some fast miles to Sulky, with the view
of not only reducing their present records,
but all records for %trotters and PAGERS.
On form Little Boy looks to have the best
chance to succeed. Lucille, however, has
a chance. She has as much speed as any
trotter tha lives. and a seasons prepara-
ton such as Mccoy will give her is liable
TO land her very near the record for mares.

PRIYArE Pension RILLS.

The present session of congress prom
vate pension bills, showing that public
criticism in this matter has very little
influence at Washington. One day last
week the house of representatives passed
ia private pension bills in thirty-nine
minutes, or at the rate Of almost five d
minute, which is certainly very lively
work. OF course there could be nc real
consideration Of these bills by the house.
The speed Mt which it worked made crit.
icism or objection next to impossible,
had any n desired to indulge in either.
But it is very rarely that a private pen
sion bill encounters objection. There
seems to be a common understanding
that these measures are not to be inter
fered with. A couple of years ago a SEN
ator, we think It was Mr.. Gallinger of
New Hampshire, called attention to the
carelessness shown by congressman gen.
orally in regard to private pension bills
and the haste with which they were
passed and urged that they should be
given more consideration, but his sug.
gestion was not needed.
Perhaps no reform In this matter is tc
be expected, yet no harm will be done
in occasionally reminding congressman
that this method of taking money out OF
the public treasury ought to be con.
Quoted a little more carefully than is the
rule. Undoubtedly some of the private
pension bills are meritorious, but this
should be fully established in every case
