DO@KIas as - Printer.

Stephen A. Douglas, although not
recognized as such by the craft. was a
one time printer. The story of how he
and Long john Wentworth came to-
getheF on q printing proposition is still
Rf1Oat, but in such close quarters that
it is not often heard. Mr.. Wentworth
was printing The Democrat in Chicago
in 1888 and struggling to remove an
Indebtedness of about $3.OO0 Douglas
called on him one day and said that he
had some handbills that must be print
ed at once.
''All right" answered Mr., Went
worth, 'but the facilities OF this office
are limited. Do you want ten or hum
dred of these bills?"
The Little Giant" said he believed
200 or perhaps more would be needed.
"Very WE'LL" was the response. "You
will have to turn printer yourself il
you expect to get them today"
The bill was set up and placed on the
hand press. Then Douglas was given
special instructions how TO handle the
Ink roller. A big apron was put on
him, and he performed the menial
work of roller boy, linking the types.
while Mr.. Wentworth worked the

SUNDAYS Ball Game
\ Great Attendance.

If there is any one in the old pueblo
who missed the performance at Car
rillo's Gardens yesterday afternoon,
they must certainly be wishing that
they had spent little piece of coin in
the fun. Amy one who paid his last
twc-bits at the gate and sneaked into
thegrand stand on a friendship gag,
with the expectation of seeing a ball
game, was disappointed. 1t is safe to
say. however, that the majority of the
fans did not think about seeing or hav-
ing anything but fun, and it's dead
certainty that they were not disap-
pointed for a single minute.
The side-splitting started with a
parade headed by three vaqueros Of
the "has-been" type. Then followed
what the Elks have been booming and
boosting as a base ball team. The
real fans looked rather wistful as they
beheld bunch of broken-down sports
marching down tn epublic thorough
fare in silk hats and silk socks. The
guys along the street looked with icy
glare at the ice cream pants, the un-
shapely f1anks and the linen busters
doing the wishy- -washy act with the
breezes. Yet this is what the Elks
called a ball team. To tell the truth
without having to blink, they remind
ed a fellow of one of these money
making shows that come along with
the break of spring and go broke in
town and havetheir baggage attached
and go walking out with the spare
remnants divided.
Then followed a troupe of Turks clad
i'll clothes that would fit them five
years hence. They were all sizes and
shapes, but they looked as if they
weregoing to slaughter some Arme-
mans up the road some place. Yes,

GETTING AWAY FROM HOME
The Spirit of ReStIessness and the
Desire For Change.

| AAS spirit OF ReSTleSsnesS and the
Desire For Change.
Judging by a good deal of the con.
versation Of the present day, there are
large number CT people who have q
positive horror of home. This curious
revulsion of feeling is taken by many
persons as sign of social deteriora-
ton. For our own part we find it diff
cult to take it quite seriously or to see
in it anything more than a passing
Whim.
Nobody nowadays likes monotony.
Change is what people desirc-not per-
haps any great change, but lots of
small change; not necessarily for the
better, but for its own sake. Now,
there is great sameness about ones
own four walls, be they ever so hand
some. We all feel at times an overpow-
ering desire to look at something else.
We cannot change the patterns or the
pictures on them every day, and neither
hey nor the home furniture ever seems
to alter in expression.
Again, there is a terrible sameness
about ones own cook. Experience ena-
bles us to foretell the taste of every
thing at home, from the soup to the sa-
worry If we are rich and from the NUT
ton to the cheese if we are poor:
whereas if we dine at a restaurant
everything down to the salt is differ
ent, and the restaurant is refurnished
daily with new faces.

CRESCEUS' RECORD
STANDS 2:O24
Failed to Beat 1t by Seven Seconds on Savan-
nah Track

Cresceus, the worlds champion trot-
ting stallion, driven by his owner,
George Ketcham, gave an exhibition of
speed yesterday afternoon on the Sa.
vannah Driving Association track. The
events were witnessed by fully 1000
people.
While the exhibition did not result
in Cresceus breaking his record of
2:O2A, or even lowering the track
mark, it was interesting from the fact
that the spectators knew that the
greatest animal of his class was on the
track and they were satisfied.
The main reason why the record was
not lowered was the condition of the
track, and previous to the start Mr..
Ketcham announced at the stables that
the time would not be what it should
on that account. On the back stretch
near the half-mile post and again at
the three-quarter mark the track was
heavy and even sandy, owing to the
recent rains having damaged 1t in
these places by water which had not
thoroughly dried out. The horse had
Dceu lIdNSlllIS, lOOs anu not enough
time had interviewed between his arri-
val and the exhibition, for him to be
limbered out as he should.
The Famous TrOtter Himself.
Cresceus is a majestic animal, large.
of the clay-bank color with long light
silky name and as he raced around the
sun displayed the waving name to a
good advantage. The track had been
rolled as hard as possible next the pole
and out half way it's width. Opposite
the grandstand it was in apparently
good condition, though Mr.. Ketcham
said it was soggy and soft to what
the horse had been speeding on.
The crowd began to arrive as early
as O'Clock, and it was composed of
society and business people. By $3.50
o'clock, the starting time, the stand
was well filed and a large crowd lined
the fence and the outside of the track
The First Regiment Band furnished
music at intervals that interested the
audience when Creseus was on the
track.

THE COLoRs OF STARS.
They Differ In Tints as They Do I'm
Brightness.
From KnOWledge.

From Knowledge.
The wide differcNce which there is
between star and star as to brightness
is apparent on the very first glance
toward the heavens; it requires a
careful scrutiny to realize that they
differ also in their color. and in the
character of their shining The an
clients carried their discrimination of
the difference of the brightness of
stars so far as to recognize six mag
nitudes, but when it came to the ques-
ton of color, they hardly noted any
difference at all. The stars in general
were described as yellow, six only be-
ing recorded as fiery" OF these six
we should class five as being distinct
ly orange or red-Antares, Beteigense,
Aldebaran, Arcturus, and PuluX. The
sixth, Sinus, is to us an intensely
white star, and there have been many
discussions as to whether it has chang
ed its color in the last 1000 years, or
whether the description given of it
fiery reds due to some mistake in
the record, or whether the excessive
scintillation OF the star may account
for 1t. For as we see it now when
near the horizon, momentary flash
of vivid red flame shoots out from
time to time, due to the irregular dis
persion of its light in passing through
the tremulous atmosphere.
Assuming that the light of any star
Is partly white and partly colored, we
may divide the stars into classes, de-
pending entirely upon the depth of tint
which they show, and not uDon its
color. A fve-fold divisiono suggests
itself, something to the following eff
feet: % Pure white. (2) tinted, (5)
colored, "a fully colored, 90 deeply
colored. After the question of the
depth of tint which the stars show,
comes the question of the color of that
tint. For naked eye stars the more re-
frangible colors do not come into con-
sideration. The range is from orange
red up to yellowish green, or, possibly,
in a single instance-that of Beta Lib
rae-to green. Alpha Lyrae and possibly
one or two other stars, have distinct
blush tinge, but in general stars not
passed as white may be very well
scheduled under one of the five follow
ing heads: % red yellow, (2) orange,
80 orange yellow, "a dish orange, 90
yellowish green. In working upon star
colors with the naked eye it is impos-
sible to use any artificial standard of
color, but the wide field of view, and
the ease and rapidity with which the
attention can be turned from one part
of the heavens to the other, will much
more than make up for this deficiency.
The stars must be compared one with
another, the estimations of color must
be purely relative and the method will
be found much the most accurate pos
sible.

hitched to a sulkey and driven abreast
of him. Run as he would Mike" could
not get ahead and was beaten out at
the wire by neck. The drive was a
splendid one and many imagined that
the great stallion was going faster than
he actually was, and held their breaths
for the announcement OF the time.
The first quarter was covered in 1871
seconds; the half mile in 1:06A; the
three-quarters in 1891, and the mile
in 2:10A. This time is considered ex-
cellent from the fact that the horse
pulled a track wagon weighing forty
four pounds. and which is not nearly
as easy pulling as sulky.
The suIky Race.
After this exhibition a rest Of thirty
minutes was taken for rubbing down
and changing vehicles, after which the
horses again appeared for the sulky
drive. This race. like the first. was
paced by the runner, and the positions
were unchanged throughout the drive.
The first quarter was covered in 80
seconds: the half in LOS: the three
quarters in 1881, and the mile in 200.
The time keepers were Messrs. T. ].
Davis, w. F. Drummer and A. P.
Doyle.
This ended the performance, and
while the record was not lowered, the
crowd was satisfied, If for no other rea-
son, than that they had seen the great
est horse in the country.
Previous to starting the race many
people saw Cresceus at his stable, and
expressed their admiration of his beau
ty and gentleness.
Facts About the Horse.
Mr.. Ketcham answered many ques-
lions about the animal. among them,
that he is s years old, is gentle for a
stallion, but has peculiarities, one of
them being that no one but his reg
ular attendant can handle him. Any
other person attempting it would be
paved or bitten. He also said that
he had refused $500 for the horse
From here he will be taken direct to
the farm at Toledo. o., where he will
be kept for the winter. Pictures of
the horse were sold among the specta-
tors, and they went we'll. Kodacks
were on every hand, and many pic
lures were secured as mementoes of
the visit of the king of trotters.
