The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1902-06-21
From the Washington Post.


Every one who has lived in the West OF
Southwest is more or less familiar with the
freakish tendency of large body or herd
of cattle to become frightened and STAN
pede, often upon apparently slight provo
cation. 1t is also well known by ''cow
punchers' that when herd has once
started on its mad flight it is as irresistible
and dangerous as Kansas cyclone. In
this connection, Col. William p Blount,
of the Indian Territory, now in Washing
ton for the purpose of promoting the cause
of single Statehood for that Territory and
Oklahoma, is authority for the following
description of what was in all probability
the biggest and most disastrous stampede
of Texas steers ever recorded.
In the early summer of 1889, F.,ld
Col. Blount, II was employed with ioz-
en- or more cow punchers from the Ter
ritory and Western Kansas by the Wilson
Brothers, who We're noted Teyas cattle
men, to assist in driving upward Of 30, 600
head of the big Texas steers from the
rendezvous in Northern Texas across the
Indian Territory to the vicinity of Dodge
City, Kansas The pace at which we were
obliged to travel was quite slow, as mat
ter of course, for the reason that we allowed
the cattle to Craze along the entire route,
and from eight to ten miles were fair
day journey. This immense herd was
being taken up to Kansas to pasture and
otherwise fatten for the Eastern markets.
sWe had been on our northward Jour
ney for about two and a half or three
weeks, perhaps, and had crossed into the
Indian Territory some seventy five miles,
when one evening, just before dark, we
encamped near small stream of water on
sort of rolling prairie, where there was
an abundance of grass In the distance
to the west about eight or ten miles could
be seen the shadowy outlines of a low line
of hills; and between our camp and these
hills, about three miles distant, was one
of those canons peculiar to that region, and
which was not visible until one approached
within a half mile of it, and even then no
adequate idea could be obtained of the
width or depth All of the members of
our party knew of its existence and locali
ty. and for this reason we had given it, as
we thought, a sufficiently wide birth.
This canon at the point nearest to our
camp that night was fully $50 feet deep
and from 80 to 60 feet wide, and its walls
were nearly perpendicular. Its direction
in that locality was nearly north and south
During the entire afternoon the air had
been hot and 'muggy, with not suspic-
ion of breeze. The sky was overcast with
low hanging, foglike clouds, which in the
distance appeared to touch the earth. As
darkness came on, the cattle ceased feed
ing, and all lay down as quietly and con-
tentedly as 50 many milch cows, and ev-
erything bade fair for quiet night. The
animals appeared to feel the oppressive
heat quite as much as we did. | had

his successor. It is said that General
Young, who was recently appointed
president of the War College, is more
than likely to succeed General Miles
as, it is claimed, at the present time
he Is actually the military advisor of
Secretary Root on all military points.
However, should General Young be
appointed, as is generally believed, he
will hold the office only until January
8, 1904, when his term of service ex-
pires and he will be retired under the
age limitation. 1t is, therefore, in his
possible successor hat the greatest in
terest is manifested. Among army
officers, General Corbin is considered
the most likely candidate to succeed
General Young. General Corbin is al
ready a favorite with the President
and Secretary Root, but he will doubt
less meet with strong competition
from General Chafee who will also be
a candidate. A. B. MERRIOTT.

the school all over the county to be
present and consider this one question
at the next general meeting. Two
schools have already been consolidated
recently by the vote of the people. At
Providence, Randolph County, men
left their ripe wheat uncut to attend
the educational rally and hear this
subject discussed. One farmer ex-
pressed the situation when he said:
NEARLY every man here represents an
uncut wheatfeld, but we value good
educational advantages at this time
than the saving of wheat. We
are deeply in earnest on the question"
Over 100 school committeeman alone,
in Wilson county, attended the educa-
tional conference June 81, to consider
this question. The women of Hickory
have taken up this matter and are
arousing deep and lasting interest in
this question.
THE EFFECT OF CONSOLIDATION.
One County Superintendent says:
"The residents of the school districts
which have been consolidated would
raise a strong protest if an attempt
were made to go back to the old small
school system. Pupils from every
part of the district enjoy a long school
term. The mingling of the pupils has
had a deepening and broadening infu-
ence upon their minds, and there have
come into these districts highly edu-
Gated teachers, whose influence has
been far greater than ever came from
the contracted district, the dilapidated
school building, and the short term of
service"

A Touch of Fashion.

Little, old-fashioned silk tassels are used in variety of ways. Two or three will dangle from the points of broad, flat collar. They will cut as a finish for the long reyers, which start from, a narrow point at the waist-line. and then broaden out as they near the shoulders. They are seen on the position backs of number of coats. Even the belt-buckle can boast tas- sel this season, and the pearl cabo- chon, so fashionable ill millinery, oft en show tassel center. An unusual belt, which fastens with 8 tassel buckle, is made of changeable gold and-green braid. The buckle consists of two large corals set in rims of Ro- man gilt. This is the gilt that has a green finish, and the tassels of gold thread have the same greenish hue. Belts of braided satin ribbon are also in vogue. They fasten with jew e1, art nouveau or cameo, buckle, and Sometimes have short ribbon-ends, tipped with ribbon rose.-Woman's s Home Companion.

HOW TO BE HEALTHY.
Simple Exercises That Can Be Prnc- diced in Ones Own Room with
 Good Effect

Two baths, say the newest health authorities, should be taken every morning, for. no less important than the tub bath for the body is the air bath for the lungs. Perhaps you have never taken an air bath and mistak- enly fancy that it may be necessary to turn yourself inside out to accom- plish it. On the contrary, the direc- tions are extremely simple, says the Boston Record. You need no appara- tus, and it takes but moments time and very little effort. Every night the lungs become filled up with impure air and more or less poisonous gases. A person may go all day without rid ding his lungs of these impurities. Therefore it is as important to bathe the lungs every day as the body. Few people know how to breathe correct ly. The lungs are not filled by mere ly expanding the upper portion of the chest and raising the shoulders. The entire front of the chest should be forced out as one inhales.
 There are U number of exercises for expanding the chest which you can practice in your own room as well as in a gymnasium. "A doorway will serve as we'll as the most complicated gym nasium apparatus. Anarrow doorway is preferred. Stand directly under the frame aud place the hands flat on the door casing, the tips of the fingers coming at the height of the shoulders. Walk through the door without re- moving the hands until you are arms length away. This draws back the shoulders and brings the important chest muscles into play. Try this for 15 minutes every night and morning. It will help to wake you up when you rise and will help you get to sleep quickly when yo go to bed.

George Bone has joined the Milwan- lzee team and is again playing under the management of Hugh Duffy. Lu- chia is catching for the same team. :.
 The Mattatucks defeated the Snap pers of Cole street Saturday by score of IS to IT. The game was very close. The battery for the Mat tatucks was Thomas Cronin, pitcher, and John Bauby, catcher The Mat tatucks wish to challenge any nine under the age of Il years.
 The directors of the New London club have said that they would not pay the fine of $25 imposed by the league pe- cause Manager Shea would not allow Umpire Pfeninger to enter the park. They thought they had carried the bluH far enough last night, for at meeting of the directors it was voted to pay the fine The action of Shea was in dorsed and one of the directors said that if they could get rid of Pfeninger for S25 the money would be well ex- pended. If the club had refused to pay the fine it would have lost $500 forfeit money.
 The reports concerning Dan Murphy $ sale to the Philadelphia Americans seems to be fully verified by the later news that the agreement for the sale has been completed and that Murphy is to go to the Phillies after July 4. Dan was loyal to Manager Davenport, absolutely refusing to take any definite step without the sanction of his man. ager. NIr Davenport realized that while the loss to his team would be great. yet there was no use in trying to hold Murphy back, or depriving him from getting a big salary. Then, too, the Phillies were anxious to get him now, while had Murphy been held to the end of the season the sale might have been made, but che price would not have been so favorable.

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
McGoverns Backers Will Have Plenty
 pf Money to Bet.

Now that the promoters of the Mc- Govern -Corbett battle have secured the necessary permit to pull off the match there is nothing for the boxers to do but to prepare for the contest. Corbett is keeping himself in shape by taking on fight now and then, but he is care ful not to overdo it, and has all of his battles limited to ten rounds.
 McGovern is taking things easy just now, but he is hard worker once he opens up his training camp, and the rest he is taking at the present time will do him much more good than harm. He is q constant attendant at the races every day, and this keeps him outdoors most of the time. Both fight CTS have many admirers who have con fidence in their fayorite, and there is no doul sbut that the next battle will be a recyfd one from a betting stand point The Corbett people believe that they will have an easy thing of it, and have already begun to place a few small wagers on the contest. Me- Govern and his followers have thous- ands to put up when the proper time arrives, and altogether there will be an immense sum hanging in the bal ance when these little fellows enter the ring next October.

KRAMER AND HURLEY.
The Professional and the Amateur
 Clean the Board at VaiIsburg.

Newark, N. J., June 9-Marcus Hurley made the field look like thirty cents yesterday in the two amateur events at the regular Sunday after noon bicycle race meet at Vailsburg. In both races he sid past everybody like streak of greased lightning. fin- lshlhg away in the van. Repeated demonstrations are making it clear that the best of his fellow amateurs have no chance with Hurley and it IS beginning to be suspected that the best of the s'pros'' may find them selves i'll the same boat when he set ties down in the harness as q Drofes- sional. Such wonderful exhibitions of speed have never been given at Vailsburg before by an amateur.
 As i'll the amateur events the first prizes ill the two professional races fell prey to one man. Frank Kramer Kramer's star is shining brighter and brighter. thanks to the. magnificent generaiship of his team mate. Floyd MacFarland. Yesterday many in the crowd of 1000 persons at the track wondered what would be the result if Kramer and Hurley tried a whirl to- gether. Opinions differed.
 Mcfarland landed second prize in the five mile pro" half a wheel be- hind Kramer, who led . bunch of more than half a dozen. On the last lap Johnny Fisher jumped away from the other riders and looked winner until Kramer and Mcfarland moved him down. Fisher finished fourth.
 Kramer won the half mile profes sional by q wheel length. Eddie Bald, who was expected to do great things, got tired after he had ridden two miles in the. five mile pro- event and dropped out.
 A bowling wind made record break ing impossible.
 An added feature yesterday was a suit race between two teams-Forest and Ferguson of Brooklyn and r,chlee and Glasson of Newark The New arkers won: distance. 3% miles; time, 8 minutes 56 seconds.

MULLINGss MANAGER OBJECTS
Says Turnbull Team Had Ringers and
 Were Defeated Honestly.


 Were Defeated Honestly.
 To Editor of EveHing Democrat:
 Dear Sir: In Saturdays issue Of your paper there appears an item 70 the effect that the defeat of the Turn, bull Co.'S base ball team at the hands of the Mullings aggregation was due to the decisions rendered by umpire Rielly. Kindly let me say that It was surprise to me and to many who Wlt- messed the game to learn that the Turn bull players feel that they could have beaten us with any other man occupy ing the position held by Mir Reilly, and I am loath to believe that the state ment came from any member or the Turnbull team, for I feel that the play CTS of the Turnbull Go have too much of the blood which goes to constitute good sports than to try and shift the responsibility of defeat at the hands or superior players upon the shoulders or an honest umpire. However, we are willing to play them again any time game can be arranged. but will insist that they confine themselves to players from the store and not substitute ringers and let the umpire De any disinterested man agreed upon by cap tainS of both teams, providing there is something at stake. namely, sup per for the players Of both teams, the losing team to settle for same.

Arthur Duffey, the great sprinter, made an attempt to lower the sixty yard record of 2-5 seconds in a spec ial race at the games of the New York day. He was virtually shot off the mark, and broke the tape ill 6 2-5 sec onds, equalling the record. His com petitors were G. H. Hoffman and ". E., Kaufman.
 He then decided to try for the old record of Lon Myers for fifty yards in 57a seconds, he had the same pacemak- CTS, and ran the distance in 3-5 sec onds.

 in Fielding Is Second with .274.
 New Haven, June 9.--While the bulk of the attention has been centered upon the two leading teams in the Connect icut Base Ball league since the season opened, watching with interest their neck-and-neck race for position, the scramble of the clubs below has rather been overlooked. Yet the continually changing positions and the very nar- TOW. margin of difference in their standing shows that the race among the six lower clubs has been and is considerably tighter. The Connecticut league to-day enjoys the distinction of holding place second to none only to the American league in the closenesS of it's race No other professional league playing in this section of the country shows so well punched clubs. The difference between the first and last clubs in the American league is 224 points; in the Connecticut league the difference is .22S points; in the Eastern league BAG; and in the Ma tfonal league .450 points. Between third and eighth place in this circuit, the difference is even more remark able, only TOT points separating New Haven from Meriden. Another not able fact is that the close of every week of the season has shown two or more clubs tied for position.
 Unless some of the teams fall off in play. this week the results are promis- ing for a still further cut down for the leadsre Norwich has seven games to play, including a double header at Hart ford today five of the games being away from home. Springfield is sched- uled for only five games, but may, em- ploy it's open date to play off post poned game with Waterbury. Spring field will meet four of the clubs that have been winning from the Connor- ties quite freely, which may offset the advantage supposed to be gained by playing on the home grounds
 The batting averages of the teams below first place show an advance in Keeping with their run of victories. Norwich, Springfield and Waterbury fairly held to their previous ratings; Neriden gained 15, Hartford 10 and New Haven points. Bridgeport lost ,. and New London 6 poi1ts. Tn fielding Waterbury wrested first place from Springfield by advancing 3 points while Springfield fell off a point. T.liG.eport gained 2, Norsv;ra Il. aud New Haven points. Losses were shown by Meridenfof points, by Hart ford and New London of 4 points each The averages are =:
