In France carriers wagons make
weekly and scmiweekly trips to the
cities from towns thirty and even Six
ty miles distant. The tires Of these ve-
hicles are usually wider than in Amer
lea. Three or four inches is the av-
erage width. and there is law forbid
ding tires to be too narrow. One horse
generally pulls what would be consid-
cred good load for two in America.
and the only limit to the load is reach
cd when there Is no space or corner
left to stow any more burden. Not
only do they load down the roofs of
their wagons but also hang huge bun
dies upon the sides, and beneath the
cart, between the wheels. swing as
many big baskets and boxes as they
can stow in. The cart being loaded,
the good man and his wife and one or
two others climb in; then crack! crack!
goes the everlasting whip in a success
sion of rifelke reports, and "Cocotte"
trots away with her gigantic load as
merrily as you please.

pressing his convictions concerning

personal remark:
our friend, Charles Suhric discharged his
Altoona barber last saturday for drunken
ness and general looscness about the mouth.
\ drunken and mouthy chin-scraper is an
intolerable nuisance and Mr.. Suhrie de

his man. The discharged barber was Il good
workman, but he was ''Smarty' and

The town is well rid of him, and Mr.. Suhric

Baptism of Bells.

Bells were solcInnly baptized like
children, a custom which is still ex-
tant in the Roman church. This Is
probably not primitive practice and
cannot be traced further back than the
reign of Charlemagne. 1t is first dis
tinctly mentioned in the time of Pope
John Nil. (9SS). when he gave his
own name to the great bell of the Lat
eran church. Slcidan gives an account
of the ceremonial to be observed: First
Of all the bells must be SO hung that
the bishop may he able to walk round
them. When he has cllHnted few
psalms in a low voice. he lninglcs WA
gently sprinkling the bell with the mix
ture both inside and out. Then he
wipes it clean and with holy oil de-
scribcs on it the figure of the cross.
praying the while that when the bell is
swung up and sounded faith and char
snnrcs of the devil hail. lightning,
winds. stOrms-nlay be rendered vain
and all unreasonable weather be sof-
tened. After he has wiped off that
cross of oil from the rim lie forms sew
en- other crosses on it. but only one Of
them within. The bell is censed. more
psalms are sung and prayers are put
up for it's welfare. After this feasts
and banquctings are celebrated just as
at wedding" - Gentleman's Maga-

Chancellor Marlin, in the Pulaski chancery
court at Little Rock, Ark. has issued orders
to both factions in the suit of the Memphis
Base Ball Park Association against the
southern League, the result OF which is
that Memphis Will play st. Vrain or Frank
Will not file new suits nor prosecute old
ones against the association or any of its
members. and will not attach gate re-
ceipts OF clubs playing at Memphis. The
league Will not make any attempt to eXpel
Memphis from the association. All re-
ceipts at Memphis will be held by the
league until Chancellor Marlin gives a
final decision, which will be the latter part
of next week.
Contrast the National Leagues position.
with its ranks divided into factions no
matter how unequally, with the American
Leagues united strength. Add to that the
way the public Is standing behind the
younger league and pouring its dollars into
Its treasury every day where the old league
is drawing dimes, and it does not appear
that the Brushites have any cause for feel
Ing "chipper" over the outlook The addi-
ton of the wealthy Cincinnati syndicate to
the old league gives 1t a better financial
standing, but Garry Hermann and his as
Soclates are not going to follow Brush
biindly, and what money they put into the
game win be for the Cincinnati club, and
not to crush the American League.
In spite of the way the warning base ball
magnates are trying to crowd into the mid
die Of the stage in midseason, the magnfi-
cent race which the American League
teams are having for the pennant of 1902
holds the attention of the fans, as the at

Not in many years has there been a fight
which promised a hotter finish than the
present one. If the four leading teams to-
day could be imagined to be thoroughbreds
in a race a blanket would cover them all

over six weeks away, and in that time
many things may develop, but if the con-
testants can all keep up the terrific pace 1t

at the sale of the Clarence III. Mackay
horses on Tuesday last, upset all calcula-
tions by winning the $4,000 United States
Hotel stakes from a ffrst-class field at
Saratoga Saturday afternoon.
Skillful was maiden UP to the time Of
his victory. and so little was his chance
considered that he was at 20 to 1 in the
betting. His owner had a good-sized bet
on the colt, winning $4,000 in wagers in
addition to the purse. .-.-
The field numbered thirteen. Athel, on
the strength of very fast track, was fa-
vorite for the race. with Chapel, second
choice and the western, filly, Judith Camp
bell, and Aceful ana MaAnic, an added
starter all well played. Judith Campbell
followed by Skillful and Athel, cut out the
running, with the Othsrs two lengths away.
This was the order to- the strength, where
Judith Campbell feH back beaten, and
Charles ElwOod Joined the slead ders.
A driving finish ensued, with Skillful just
lasting long enough to wins by head from
Athel, who was an openglength In front of
Charles Elwood. Athe] pulled up lame.
Aceful was thrown into the fence soon after
the start and was pulled up. White Chapel
