AN AGED STRONG MAN
Seventy!two Year Old Peddler Of
Salem Displays Wonderful
Amount Of Vitality.

License Commissioner e. J. Sweeney, of
Salem. Mass. has offered a handsome
purse as a prize to any man In the com
monwealth over 60 years Of age who Will
defeat James Hennessey, recently aged ",
the pack peddler of Mason Hill, in a mile
foot race. Hennessey recently issued a
challenge to any Salem Splinter over 40
years old, and at the North street rink
he defeated Ed Pond, a sandwich man,
aged 50, who had accepted the challenge.
Hennessey comes Of a family that is
famous in the annals of Salem for feats
Of physical prowess. His nephew, young
Jim Hennessey, is regarded by many as
Salem's strongest man in all-around phys
fcal development. For man OF his years
the veteran peddler is surprisingly strong
and supple. He can take one end of a razor
blade in each hand. jump over it and then
jump back again without losing his hold.
Not long ago he walked the rail- on
the Boston & Maine tracks, on wager,
from Grove street to the depot in Peabody
and back. In this entire distance, over
bridges and trestles, he did not once lose
his balance and step from the rail. The
entire population of Mason Hill followed
the old man and applauded the remarkable
performance.
Even this feat was surpassed one morn
ing, when the old peddler, with his satchel
on his back, running beside the track,
raced with the electric car from Salem to
Peabody. Hennessey beat the car over
the course by nearly 10 yards.
Commissioner Sweeney thinks Hennes-
sey could defeat any man In the state
over IS years old in a mile go-as-you-
please race, and he is confident that the
champion 'vet' will easily vanquish all
Corners with the 12-year handicap.

NO MORE HEAT RACES
Memphis Trotting Association Takes
a Most Radical step-May Be
! the Entering Wedge. -
Horsemen Are Loud in Praises of
Cresceus' Great Work in
Two-Mile Trial,

One Of the most radical actions in the
annals Of American harness racing was
taken by the Memphis Trotting associa-
ton when 1t decided to discard heat races
at all future meetings given by the as
ISOLATION. Announcement to this effect
was made by Secretary Murray Howe at
the close Of the recent Memphis meeting.
The nature of this change is apparent
from the fact alone that heat races have
been the rule for more than century in
the United States, the home Of the har-
ness horse. The surprise caused by Sec
rotary Howe's announcement was only
equaled by the JOY of supporters Of the
single heat or dash theory. The cause as
signed can easily be guessed by any one
familiar with harness racing. 1t is the
laying up Of heats. the great cause Of
trouble at all harness meets for years.
Laying up Of heats is a disease to which
drivers have been subject for decades, and
no patent medicine has yet been discov-
cred which has proven an effectual rem
edy.

DEGENERACY OF THE TURF
London Sporting Times Bewails the
Disappearance Of High Glass
Thoroughbred Horses.

The London Sporting Times, otherwise
known among the 'fawncy' as the Pink
'Un," bewails the degeneracy Of the Eng
lish turf in no uncertain terms. Says the
critic: a=.~s ...sg. + ..t*'
1.-THE raison d'etre Of horse racing is
the Improvement Of the breed of the
English Thoroughbred That at least
is the supposed object Of our national
sport, the turf. s.sH H." I,s1r- z
"That our present racing system does
not minister to this object Is plainly
shown by the fact Of our having at the
present time so few good race horses.
1T Is the duty. then. Of turf writer's
who realize the danger of the position to
point this out, and the writer is one who
honestly believes that with our enormous
annual supply Of foals from the army Of
brood mares now at the stud we ought
to have not one, but fully dozen or
more such horses as William the Third
every year. -
Compare such Derby fields as we had
in the sixties-Thormanby and Blair
Athors years. to-wit, with an absolute
troop Of high-class animals running
with our one-horse affairs Of to-day. Or
take the mares of that period, Achieve
ment, Formosa, File de PAir, Queen
Bertha and others of similar type, and
then read down the list of Oaks winners
in the last decade, the nlneties, with but
one of really high class in the lot-La
Fleche.
AN equally Indifferent sample, or even
worse, may be found in our present han
dicap horses, as compared with those Of
the same period. Take Wallace, Tim
Whittier, Adventurer Ely, Asteroid, YES
pasian, Lecturer, Scottish Chief, Rosicru-
clan, julius and hundreds of others, as
against the lot we have just seen con-
tend in our greatest long distance handi-
cap-and remember we now breed more
than double the number Of thoroughbred
horses to those given US at that period

HOW BIG FISH FEED
When the Surge Breaks Up tho Bottom
They Find a Feast.

When the Surge Breaks Up the Bottom
They Find a Feast.
From Big Game Of the Atlantic Surf, In
November Outing. =
When a northeast storm sets the sea to
growing and breaks the long ground
swells into choppy, jumping waves, the
big fish come in. Wherever the surge
breaks up the bottom, they nose and
,delve. The working sea exposes for them
the delicacies Of the season-flashing sand
cells that snap themselves about like tenn
pered springs of polished STEEL translucent
spearing with each side marked with a.
broad silver band that remains pure and
shining long after the fish has decom-
posed; red, green and purple sand and rock
crabs. and many varieties of marine
worms.
The striped bass and drums root for
these with their noses, scraping along the
bottom like hogs; the bluefish and the
squeteague dart to and fro, sometimes
throwing themselves almost on the beach
to snap up the small fish that are helpless
in the undertow. =

YACHTING

In the Shamrock III. will be embodied some
radical departures in the matter Of yacht con-
struction which have not appeared in any pre-
vious challengers. +. e : ~~E --s.-
These changes are said to be due to an acct
dental discovery made during the trials of the
Shamrock + and the Shamrock H., which con-
vinced Designer Watson that there had been a
fundamental error in the construction of all the
recent challengers. ... Y
This discovery was made too late to admit
of the remodeling of the Shamrock H., but
when its nature was explained to Sir Thomas
Lipton it had great weight in deciding him to
try for the Americas cup third time
Both Designers Fife and Watson are convinced
that they posses solid data upon which they
will be able to build yacht superior to any cup
racer.
They are certain that they have evolved an
idea which affects the whole theory Of the propul
sion of sailing yachts.

PETERSON QUITS FARGO
North Dakota Billiard Player Signs Con

tract With Jevne.
Fargo billiardists are regretting the de-
parture Of Charles c. Peterson, the crack
player of that city. Peterson has signed
as team mate for Lloyd Jevne. He will
represent Fargo in the coming northwest
ern tournament and after short exhibit
lions in Cincinnati and st. Louis he will
Join Jevne at the academy at New Or
leans. Jevne made a trip over the north
west last summer and tried out the crack
players. He was so favorably impressed
with Peterson at the time that he en-
deavored to make a contract with him,
but did not succeed until recently. Jevne
predicts brilliant future for Peterson as
soon as the Fargoan gets little more ex-
perience in fast company. Peterson has
been at Fargo a year or so and before his
arrival had won the championship OF
Florida and Wisconsin.

will not hold good. A mans religion,
is his own individual affair, and does
not concern his fellow man. But this
is not true of his politics, for if he uses
his vote to fasten system Of industrial
slavery upon his fellows, they have a
right to object and they are at least
justified in interfering to the extent
that his action affects their interests.
To have it's true power, the labor
movement must be class conscious. I'm
til it is 50, the Trade Unions will be
among the bulwarks Of capitalism and
wage-slavery. While the members
strike against the consequences OF the
system, they steadily vote to perpetrate
the system and some of their leaders
encourage them to adhere to, and de-
part from, the ancient methods, which;
applied to present conditions are mark
ed with increasing impotency and are
necessarily resulting in disappointment
and failure.

of Labor once.
Is an 4bLe Orator and a
Careful Student of Up'
t0zd0te Economic O Ques,
fi07S.

Those who will attend the Labor Day
dcnics at Fond du Lac Monday will be
treated to a speech on the labor ques-
tion. The orator of the day Is Mr..
Louis NASH one Of the most prominent
men in state labor circles. Mr.. Nash is
a member of the Retail Clerks Union,
and was at one time president Of the
Minnesota State Federation of Labor.
In the early days Of the labor move
ment when men Of action were needed
to inaugurate the movement in the
state Mr.. Nash came to the front, and
has maintained a position of respect
ever since. It is largely due to his
untiring efforts that. the stores of the
Twin Cities were induced to abandon
the old habit of keeping open every
evening in the week. In state legisla-
tive matters he has taken an active
part, and during the time when there
was a strong sentiment for legislation
controlling department stores, he was
elected secretary of the Retail Mer-
chants association of St. Paul.
He Is careful and progressive
thinker, and is an orator of known
reputation in labor circles. Our per-
sonal acquaintance with Mr.. Nash
dates back to the early days of the
State Federation. We can voucher for
him, and do not hesitate to advise every
person interested in the labor move
ment to be sure and hear him at Fond

tional conventions Of labor oreaniza-
tions recently held at Denver in ADOPT
ing a working class political program,
has created widespread interest in ev-
cry part of the country. The reaction
ary element predict for the new policy
speedy and complete failure. So certain
are they of this that they do not hesi-
tate to misrepresent the action of the
conventions and bear false testimony
against those who took part in them
A number of misleading statements
have appeared in the papers, and others
are quietly circulated to bring the per-
sonnel of the conventions into disre-
pute, and this is engaged in by those
who lack the courage to openly charge
and face the men who led the move
ment which culminted in new depar-
ture, which promises to rernould the en-
tire labor movement of the country,
and bring it up-to-date in all it's econ
omic and political equipment.
The two men who led and inspired
the conventions were Edward Boyce,
president Of the Western Federation of
Miners, and Daniel Mcdonald, presi-
dent of the Western, now the American
mously reelected upon that issue and
holds his position by practically the
unanimous confidence Of the members
of his great and growing organization.
Edward Boyce retired from official life,
honored by every true man and only
hated by those who found him staunch
and incorruptible. and utterly incapable
of being swerved from his duty to his
fellowmen. The name Of this man will
be honorably written in the history of
trades unionism, as he has already
written it in the deeds Of duty that live
forever. -;
I need not, at this time, repeat the
terms of the essential change which
has taken place in the Western labor
movement. It is all. summed up in this
single statement: that it has adopted

Another grievance Is whatssis Known
as the docking system. A ton of coal
as the miner is paid for it Is not a ton
that the consumer gets; that is to say,
when the consumer purchases a ton
Of coal he receives 2,240 pounds, a
legal ton; in Duluth it is but 1000
pounds; when the railroad companies
transport coal to market they receive
tariff on 2,240 pounds, a legal ton, but
when the miner is being paid for his
labor, he is required to produce and
load from 2,74o to $3.50 pounds, legal
ton; and it is against this fragrant
injustice that the anthracite mine
workers so vigorously and Justly pro-
test. The operators say, Of course.
that the excess weight is required to
compensate them for impurities and
refuse matter that is loaded with the
coal and can not be marketed; but If
their statement be true, why is it
necessary to continue system of dock
ing, by which, at times. they arbi-
trarily deduct from a miners earnings
from 10 to Is per cent of the total as
a penalty for loading impurities for
which they have already penalized
him in excess weight?
