Glasses Of Mules.

From the National Stockmaa.
In DIR. Knights new work he gives
the following classification OF mules as
furnished by the largestdealers In Ten
nessee. Their idea uf a mine mule is
not correct for Pennsylvania c~olllerles.
They use small mules, IA to Is hands,
the majority below the latter height.
The sugar mules run In age from ;
10 8 years old and from 15l to Iei
hands high; they are fed from the time
they are colts until they are shipped
to Louisiana.
The mine mules are from 5 to 10
years old, and must have bone and good
foot and good body.
The dray mules are from 3 to 5 years
old, lsi to 1871 hands high, loo to.
400 pounds.
The cotton mules are from 3 70 5
years old, l3f to 15i hands.
The mules sold 70 the British gov
eminent must be from 5 to I2 years.
old, but must be sound and free from
blemishes.
Mules from Isl to let hands high
sell better in spring, summer and fan
for work In Tennessee.
The dealers begin TO buy cotton
mules In the fall and fatten them for
the southern market. which CON-
mences in October and continues until
March.
There are several advantages In
handling mules owe horses. You can
sell them readily at any age. They sell
at weaving, one year old, or at two.

In market order you can get his cash
value. You do not have 70 curry and
rub and educate 10 the different
saddle gaits and break him 70 barnes
before he Is ready for market. You
can often sell them In carload lots In
stead Of selling them IL retail, and b.
20 doing you get your money in balk

0 ELEcrRIO A
J. D 0rsar Writes to the Ledger
About Electric Lines in
General.

no the Editor Of The Ledger
MEXICO, June q. Since the last
artleIel Published in your paper cen
corning the proposed electric road
from Mexico TO Paris I have written
to numerous parties in illinois, Ohio.
Indiana Georgia, Texas and ether
states where electric railways have
been established out through farming
districts for the purpose OF obtaining
more definite information from per-
sons who live on the roads and can see
aud know OF their advantages or dis
advantages.
have shown these letters 10 some
OF our citizens, but In order that all
who are interested In this road may
have the benefit OF this INFORMATION /
herewith submit to you these letters
for publication. l have received about
thirty letters and know your space is
too limited to publish all, but any
and all letters received can be seen at
my ONCE. These letters are from
business men living on the line Of
these roads. / have obtained from
them the names Of farmers on these
roads and have also written to them
and win probably get replies by next
week.
Inquiries sent out were as to effect
on business Of towns, value Of farm
lands, and general effect OF electric
roads in the vicinity.
All information received thus far
establishes the fact that In each In
stance where an electric railway has
been established from one town to an
other business has been increased for
the merchants, value mas been added
to the farm and those subscribing for
the stock have secured a paying in
yestment.
Out Of Piqua, Ohio, one electric
road is running and two more now
almost completed through the country
TO adjoining towns.
Out OF Aurora, ILL.,, three are run
ming and two more building.
Out OF Springfield, Ohio, seven roads
run.
Quito Il Dayton, Ohio, eleven electric
roads run TO other towns.
From Sherman, Texas, inc road and
another building.
And this is the state Of facts exist
ing in all places where these roads are
established.
1t Is true some OF these roads re-
ferred 10 are in a more thickly inhab-
tied part Of our country. But these
states are not three times, nor five,
nor seven, nor eleven times more able
to support these roads.
In the matter Of obtaining freight
and obtaining money from other rail-
ways for delivering Il on their tracks
for a long haul We have the advantage
Of any Of these roads. In the matter
OF having no competition with steam
railroads or other lines We have the
advantage. In being able 10 make
the connection With the large city Of
st. Louis we have the decided advan-
tage.
The road from here to Paris will pay
and we must build it.

Electric lines are being rapidly built

one road and two more win soon be
running, almost completed. Every
town OF any consequence and every
county seat has or expects 10 have an
electric road. Have no inside infor-
nation, but my best information Is
that these roads are paying good div

CHARLES COCHRAN BARRED.
Jockeys Father Excuses Himself by Talk.
Ing Of John Madden.

WASHINGTON. Nov 2. The main topic
Of conversation at the track this afternoon
was the announcement that Charles Cochran.
father of Harry Cochran. the well-known
jockey had been ordered to keep away from
all tracks under the Jurisdiction of the Jockey
Club and as a result Cochran promises to
make some startling statements in regard
TO the way John + Madden handled " G.
Whitney's horses The news first leaked
out last night when a man happened to make
the remark that he had not seen the elder
Cochran at the track during this meeting
and Jockey Club Official. whose name il not
given out happened TO pass along and gave
a hint that Cochran had been barred by the
Jockey Club,
This morning Cochran was interviewed
by several reporters and he admit ed that
August Belmont. president OF the Jockey
Club, had Informed him on the closing day
AT Morris Park that he did not want him
about the tracks any more. In speaking
of the matter this morning Cochran said that
he was going to appear before the stewards
of the Jockey Club and ask for a hearing
and when he did appear before the stewards
he would tell them some things about John
Madden and his way OF handling the Whitney
horses ID aoGhah sfEs oha' MADDEN Dis.
horses when they did not have chance of
Winning and when they did have n chance
he would substitute Redeem or some other
He also said that Madden worked his son
almost TO pieces. as every morning he would
ma We him working from thirty to forty horse,
and the result was that when the boy came
to ride in the afternoon he was 80 tired that
he could not ride in his best form Cochran
in speaking of the bad race which Slipthrift
ran when he was ridden by his son. and the
good one he ran the next time out, when
handled by Rediern. said that Madden was
entirely TO blame Although Slpthrift in
all his races showed that he was front rum
ner Madden gave the boy waiting orders
to which young Cochran made the remark
that he would be beaten surely. and asked TO
he allowed to ride him IN front Madden
told him to do "a he ordered. to get off and
ride waiting race. just ms he told him CoCh-
ran rode exactly to orders and after running
half a mile Slipthrft died under n pull The
next time Slipthrift ran he won. and Madden
gave IL out that In his previou, race Cochran
did not ride ~ he had been told
The elder Cochran il known TO be very
bitter against Madden, and has been for
tho Jockey club will only give him a chance
he will tell them many things about Madden
He also says that several other horse, in the
TINT his son cot the worst OF everything
As Madden is one of the leading owners and
trainers on the turf. and rs W, G. Whitney
T. one of the leading men in the turf world
at the present time, there is every reason
TO believe that they will both ask Cochran
to come forth and state his cha Coch-
ran Gays he will make AFFIDAVIT 10 all that he
has said. and more besides
