The general is 70 years old, but he
shows no sign of breaking down. It
is not an uncommon thing for him to
keep six secretaries busy taking let
tiers for an unbroken stretch of eight
or ten hours.
1t was while debating to a secretary
that Gen. Booth got his idea of the
present. name of the movement OF
which heais the head. Atfirst he called
1t the Christian Mission. One day, as
he was debating circular aon' the

Never in the history of theiAmerican
turfahas the gambling fever possessed
the habitues of the race tracks so COM
pletely as it has this season, says spe-
-cials4rom New York. Fortunes have on
several occasions changed hands in less
than a minute and half. Men who
started in the season with small bets
became Intoxicated with early gains
enthusiastically developed into plung-
ers Of the first water.
Such IS G. Lansgddonn, Who began with
small amount early in the season, and
is now $4,000 richer. OF the old school
of plungers, men who have fought the
bookmakers for years, John A. Drake
is easily first in point OF winning, !. for he
hasssecured 100000 from the ring dur
ing kthe short space of four months.
John w. Gates, brakes friend, is third
on the list. Senator p. II. McCarren
leads all the eastern plungers with
$200Qo0 to his credit.
DEAke heads the list of winning
plun8ers. From the time his colt
Wyeth won the American Derby ut
Chicago he has had but few big losses
in bets. His worst meeting financially
wassat Saratoga. At the Spa fortune
sidetracked him for time, and he lost
a large 900, well.in-
formed bookmakers say. His horses
were allsoutsof form and lost repeated

ever they appeared to have the slight

At the Sheepshead Bay meeting
Drake more than made up for his Sara
toga losses. He cleaned ups$1 Sc, 600 on

swear through telephone. Now, it is
usual. when man feels disposed to
make thewire warm with blasphemous
expressions, to just hang up the re-

tt is understood that the senator is
the principal sponsor of MIR. Thomp.
son in his diplomatic aspiration. The
compensation of the post to which he
is appointed is $4,000 per annum. and
while in recent years it has not been
the scene ofany particular diplomatic
episodes. it is believed that. owing to
the pending dispute between Brazil,
Bolivia and Peru over the territory Of
Acre, and the necessity in the near
future of a Encouragement Of tariff
between Brazil and the
United States. Mr.. Thompson's post
will offer considerable opportunities
for personal distinction.

Dead Man Found.

The body of an unknown man was
found in the river at Marvel. His
shoes and stockings were found on
the river bank. An examination of
the body by Coroner Rounsvell re-
veals the fact that his neck was
broken. and there was no, water in
the body, which would indicate that
he was dead before being placed in
the water. He was not bloated or
decomposed, and appeared to have
been in the water but short time.
There was nothing on his person by
which to identify him. He was about
six feet in height and weighed about
$50 pounds.
