| gers to peril Although I admit the de-
parture of steamboats, behind the sched-
ule occasions complaint and possibly
loss in traffic, l cannot believe that a
schedule preserved at the cost of col
lision helps the company or stimulates
travel. But 1 do observe a growth of
recklessness In people that is most amaz-
ing. There have been many accidents
this season, but the grand horror is still
in reserve.
Gold Heels, the winner of the Suburb

Brighton, is now hailed the greatest
colt in America. He is a hardy little
fellow and has wonderful recuperative
power l strolled over to the stables
from the Brighton Beach Hotel the
morning after the race and found him
in fine fettle after his nights rest, not
the least bit tired. Matt Allen is his
trainer. and he is proud of his colt as
though it were a beloved son. Enthusi-
astic. of course. Allen Is a quiet man
with long experience as a trainer, but
he fairly gllshes over this youngster Is
it not strange how good luck or bad luck
hits a horseman? Take William c.
Whitney, for instance. He owns a long
string In America. Some Of them have
cost fortune. When he wants a colt
no price stops the purchase; and vet his
entries this season have won nothing
to speak of. 1t is not generally known
that he once owed Gold Heels. This
little fellow was a 2-year-old and was
not able to carry heavy weights. At
the wedding out sale he was sold. Sam
Hildreth. who trained for Mr.. Whitney
early In 1900 bought him. Dave Sloane
bought him. Gold Heels won enough
money with him to buy a home as a we'd
1f.,sr Co.. 1, to ,,.fl
bought him from Sloane for General Nc
Lewee and Jim Mrady for $500. In two
years Gold Heels won fifteen times and
was placed eighteen times.

Matt Allen is now an Eastern trainer.
At one time he was in charge of the
fine string of thoroughbreds owned by
the late Senator George F. Hearst.
Among the string was the famous Tour
nament and Gorge. Subsequently he was
engaged to handle the thoroughbreds
purchased by Frank Ehret, the son of
George Ehret, the brewer. Ehret did
not remain more than two years on the
turf, but during that time Allen develop
ed the speed of Yorkvile Belle, Don
Alonzo, San Juan and several other fast
horses. The quality of the horses was
such that when they were sold at public
auction they brought nearly $4,000.
There has been a good deal of amuse-
ment in turf circles caused by the win
nings of Harry Payne Whitney. who is
the owner of one horse Irish Lad"

WAY DOWN IN ALABAM'.

Down at Birmingham, Alabama,
last Friday night, Booker Il. Wash
ington had just concluded an adj
dress to a large crowd of colored
people at the Shiloh Baptist church,
when a couple of darkeys got into a
tight over an unoccupied seat, and
some one shouted, "fghtp The
crowd mistook the cry for "firel"
and then ensued the most cowardly
and idiotic scramble for the door
way to escape from what they
thought was a burning building.
Women and children were knocked
down and trampled to death. Some
of the ministers present mounted
the rostrum and shouted to the
crowd to "keep quiet" but the
panic stricken flock of sheep still
thought the cry was ''frer' and
struggled harder than ever to get to
the door. Many tainted and were
suffocated in the crowd. Steps
about fifteen feet high led down to
the door through narrow hall, and
this was piled full of the first ones
to reach the place, while the others
tramped over them and a lot were
suffocated and tramped to death by
the two thousand fools who we're in
the building, and many escaped the
Crying pan only to get into the

SCOTT BoLYARD KILLS HIhssLr WITH
SCOT CUE.
Sad Event Occurred At Home Of c. q.
Howell Near Ridgedale- iDespon.
dency the Cause.

From the Morgantown Dominion;
News reached here today OF the death
OF Scott Boiyard. aged az years by suicide
trict near Ridgedaie.
About two o'clock Monday sfternoon
the young man remarked to Miss Price the
girl who Is employed at Mr.. HowelI's thai
he was going to kill himself. She laughed
at him and said II was not likely. But he
took down a brecch loading shot sur
loaded with No. "a shot and went out to
ward the stable. Mr.. and Mrs. Howell
were away from home. Mrs. Howell beins
here on visit TO her father Rev. r. w
ireland on Sunnyside. Old Mrs. Howell
and the girl who works there were the
only persons at home besides young Boil
yard.
In short while the ladies heard the
report OF gun. and looking toward the sta.
Bile. saw an object lying near il. but did not
think seriously Of Boiyard's statement that
he would kill himself Soon after Mr.. Ed
Griffith who often works for Howell. had
also heard the report OF the gun and came
over to the house. They all then went &c
the stable and found the dead body OF Boil
yard. with the gun lying across IL.
The sight was a CHASTITY one. He had
placed the shot gun to his throat and
pushed off the trigger with stick. The
charge had almost torn OFF his head and
killed him Instantly.
An inquest was held Monday night and
the verdict was that he had met death by
suicide. The remains were Inferred at
Goshen cemetery Tuesday.
Scott Bolyard had come from Preston
county and had been working for Mr. How.
ell tor the past six months. He had been
afflicted from boyhood with some spinal or
muscular disease. and was crippled to
some extent. but his mind had seemed
clear. However he would have attacks of
dependency, when he would refuse
to talk to anyone. Upon one or two
occasions he had contemplated suicide.
Once he took the gun and went out two
miles from his home to take his life. When
he got to the place. his heart failed, or the
conditions were not favorable and the
fatal step was not taken.
The affiiction OF the young man inter
fered with his walking so he was compelled
to move with jerky gait aud Il seems that
he grew respondent and gloomy over his
condition. and what he supposed to be his
lack OF friends. II seems he had no real
home but the relatives nearest him live in
Preston county.

"While the people may be more

procity and the amending of the
constitution to permit federal SUPER
vision of the trusts" said a promi-
nent Democrat yesterday, "the
question which vitality concerns
them is, going to be done in regard
to the coal striker Cuba is a long
way off but the winter is almost
here and we have no coal in our
cellars and there is no prospect of
getting any without paying a small
fortune for il. 1t is already pre-
dicted that an immediate ending of
the strike would not be followed by
reasonable prices for coal before
the first of January and if that
proves true what is to become of
the much vaunted prosperity. The
people will have to curtail on all
expenditures in order to keep their
homes comfortable. When the
large majority of the people are
forced, from any reason, to econo-
mize, it means hard times, and,
unless / am very much mistaken,
the hard times will be felt before
the. elections and with disastrous
effect on Republican success. l do
not know the remedy for the present
situation in Pennsylvania, but / do
know that all Republican legisla-
ton makes for the rich and at the
expense of the poor. 1t serves to

that fact and will vote the Demo-
