The Kings Racehorses.

From the London Chronicle.
Much interest will be taken in the forth
coming book, THE Kings Racehorses," for
though several OF our sovereigns have taken
active interest in the promotion Of horse
racing, but few have run horses In their
own names. To James is given the credit
Of having placed English horse racing on
a firm basis: great interest was created
when Queen Anne kept and ran horses in
her own name and presented plates for the
winners Of races. The first three Georges
did little to further the sport, though
George III gave 1t some encouragement as
a national pastime. 1t was in the fourth
year Of his reign the never-beaten Eclipse
was foaled. horse whose deeds did SO
much to encourage horse breeding in this
country. George " outstripped all his
royal predecessors in his love Of the turf
and very largely contributed to rendering
Ascot and Goodwood fashionable.
William Nv had naturally no taste for
ming Of the horses after his brothers death,
partly that the nominations should not be-
come void, and partly in order not TO dis
courage a pastime Of such interest to his
subjects. But his personal interest and
knowledge may be judged by the answer
pearance of the royal stud in the name of
William ~ the trainer had an audience,
and humbly requested of his majesty what
horses it was the royal pleasure should be
sent down. His majesty, after a few mo-
ments' consideration, replied: Send the
win" In October 1897, the royal stud was
sold, and no member of the royal house
owned race horses until the Prince of
Wales, now Edward VII, bought few.

A NEW GLASS ENAMEL.
Elaborate Decorative Work by an En-
glish Artist.
From the Pail Mall Gazette

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The name of Mr.. Holiday, the well-known
glass painter, requires no Introduction to
those who are interested in this particular
branch of decorative art. visit, how
ever. to this gentleman's studio in Hamp
stead. where his recently invented and now
perfected process of glass enameling is be-
ing carried forward, proved a perfect reve-
lation: the value, in fact, of MI Holidays
process IN its adaptability to decoration on
a far larger scale than has ever yet been
attempted in enamel work cannot be too
highly estimated.
The term recently invented may per-
haps convey a wrong impression, for Mr..
Holiday informed the writer that the idea
had originated in his mind long since
namely, that enamel somewhat similar to
Limoges" raised and adapted to deco
rative work on large and more
elaborate scale, was by no means beyond
the range of artistic possibilities. Thus
gradually, and, after combating many tech
nfCal difficulties. success has now crowned
the artists enterprise. Indeed, Judging by
the results to be seen at Oak Tree House
Studio, they must, If anything, far out
strip the highest hopes originally entertain
ed of the process, thus abundantly recon-
pensing al the care, anxiety and labor
spent in the attainment.
Among the specimens now in process OF
completion we would especially mention
panels) destined for Holy Trinity, Edin-
bureh the subject chosen being the Cru
cffixi6n. The figures (about three-quarter
life size) are executed with both power and
dignity. while fine sense Of artistic bal
ance pervades the design Itself. Note the
wonderfully effective treatment Of the sky
and the city of Jerusalem in the distance,
which serves to throw into prominent re-
lief the central figures grouped about the
cross. This background is indicated Simply
by a few grandly sweeping lines on the
horiZon-not one too many, yet together
serving to gre the effect of complete twi-
light landscape. But the peculiar char
acteristc of Mr.. Holidays unique work is
Its nodded surface. and the hitherto IN
dreamt Of possibilities conveyed by means
Of this slight modelling beneath its coating
of brilliant enamel The actual ground
work was shown us to be plaster, while
the modelling is overlaid with thin coat

serves TO give an additional glow and
warmth to the piece as a whole.

BEASTS SLAIN BY WHOLESALE.
Arizona Ranchers Corral and Shoot
DepredatorS,

From the Chicago Sunday Chronicle.
For several months past the mountain
lions, bears and wolves that abound in some
parts of Arizona have been playing sad
havoc with the stock Of the ranch of Colin
Campbell in Cochise county. With 10000
cattle on the range, the heavy losses in
calves and yearlings by the ravages Of the
wild animals have cut down the dividends
Of the stock company which owns the range.
Charley" Montgomery, famous all over
Arizona as a hunter and who was chief Of
scouts under General Crook during the
trouble with the Apaches, was engaged to
exterminate the animals which have been
raiding the herds. Montgomery engaged 100
men Of the Pima tribe and held a big round
up Of the 'varmints.'
Early in the morning his Indians and a
score Of cowboys surrounded district five
miles square in the foothills of the Chirica-
hua range and gradually closed in toward
the center, with 200 dogs in the rodeo. As
they reached the center of the circle cata-
mounts, black BEARS coyotes and an occa-
slonal grizzly bear tried to break through
the line, but were met by a shower Of bull
let's. Dozens Of animals persisted in the at
ly cornered in a box canyon, while red
skins and cowpunchers picked them off
from the rocks above.
There were scores Of close conflicts with
the enraged and frightened brutes and in
one melee four Indians were fearfully man.

finished the bear. One Of the reds, Antonio
Hermo, former chief Of the tribe received
fatal wounds from the claws of big fellow
The dogs closed In on the victims and dog

was complete. The final count showed nine
teen dead mountain lions Ave grizzlies, two
lynxes and over 100 coyotes-doubtless the
biggest roundup Of wild animals that has
ever occurred in Arizona.

Admiral Cervera Neglected.
From the Denver Times.


Bellamy Storer, United States minister to
Spain, who Is spending a few days Of his
leave of absence in Denver, said in the
course Of an interview: Poor old Cervera
is living in obscurity and comparative pow
erty now. No Spanish minister would dare
to give him any post now, since he received
evidences OF the good will of the American
people. He gets no pay while not on duty
and can get no assignment"
There are few more pathetic figures In
modern history than poor old Cervera."
That he went out Of Santiago under orders
from Spain's political representative in
Cuba, and that he knew he faced almost GER
tain death, together with the destruction Of
his feet, there is no shadow Of doubt. But
that frightful chance he took as a good
sailor would take 1t, and after one-sided
battle, which was unparalleled for destruct-
iveness, he was finally rescued in the very
nick Of time, still dignified, still courageous
and still every inch the man despite expert
ences that would have appalled, the stoutest
heart.
It was no wonder that the Americar-peo-
pie rose as one man to do honor to such q
brave foe 1t was q mingiing Of respect and
admiration which a brave people must al
ways feel for bravery wherever shown, and
for defeat, bitter and overwhelming, yet
brave with dignity and self-respect. No
man deserves to stand higher In the annals
Of Spanish heroes than CerveE14 Some day
even Spanish historians viii doSA him Justice
but we fear It will be after he e dead.

A Story on the Kaiser.
Berlin Correspondence London Sketch.

Berlin Correspondence London Sketch.
An amusing story is going the rounds In
artistic circles In Berlin about the German
emperor. A certain portrait painter had
executed remarkably good portrait of his
little son. representing the latter as sitting
on his mothers lap. very much the same as
the child in the painting by Rubens. Every
one admired the portrait immensely; not so
the little boy, however. who was leased SO
much by his schoolfeliows for being painted
with nothing on" that the poor Rite chap
came crying to his father, and besought
him, with many sobs, to ''any way. paint a
shirt on to him." The painter was so
tickled at this that he told the story to the
emperor one day while his majesty was
paying visit to his studio. The kaiser was
extremely amused, and when giving in
structions before leaving about portrait
Of himself which he desired the painter to
execute for him. added. with laugh, but

night at his boarding place. No. 1416 Corco-
ran street, after a short illness of typhoid
fever On his arrival in this city last FRI
day it was noticed that he was Ill, and upon
his expressing the determination to visit the
Capitol Wednesday Of this week he was re-
monstrated with, but the advice rendered
was not followed. He returned from this
visit completely prostrated, and was COM
PEELED to take to his bed. His condition
gradually became worse rpntfl yesterday
morning it was decided. to call in some of
his friends of this city. The sick man was
able to think of but one. Mr.: u. H. Hester

latter hurried to the bedside Of his sick
friend, who was by that time just able to
recognize him, and unable to converse.
Upon the advice of the attending physi-
clan, DR.. j. II. Lee, a telegram was sent to
the sick mans family notifying them of his
serious Illness. A second telegram was sent
later urgently requesting that some one
come Immediately to this city. In the
meantime Mr. Hester went in search of
other friends of the sick man, returning to
the house but a few minutes after Mr..
Litchmans death Mr.. F. b. Litchman, the

TRACK IN GOOD SHAPE

CHICAGO, June 21.-An of the twelve
horses which are carded to start today in
the fifteenth American Derby at the Wash
ington Park Club track are said to be in
good condition, and ii is doubtful IL there
will be many Withdrawals, though the
owner Of Prowl may decide that the track
is not slow enough to give his colt the
chance which it was thought he would
have in deep going.
At present the prospects are for ideal
weather, and it is believed the famous
south side course will have dried up so
much that by the time of the race4 o clock
the going will be fairly good, IL not al
most fast. This will enhance the chances
of Heno, the favorite, and of the favorite
horses generally, and will initiate against
the outsiders.
The city is filling up with visitors. and
there is every chance of a record breaking
attendance this afternoon. Secretary How
ard is counting on an attendance of $1,000
people, and would not be surprised If ii is
In excess of that number.
The latest betting on the event an
nounced this morning at an uptown hotel is
as follows:

1t is announced that either J. Matthews
or Otis will have the mount on Prowl, If
the latter starts, instead of DAVIDSON. as
was announced last night; while Coburn
will ride Aladdin. The latter has come in
for a strong play by some of the smart
bettors since early last night. Some of
these wise men say Aladdin will win on
either a good or a heavy track.
The racing stables were astir at an early
hour this morning and everywhere there
was an air of something important going
to happen. More than half of the Derby
horses had passed the night at the track
and these were given light exercise on the
inner track, none being allowed on the reg
ular track, on which the harrows were
busy. The going on the inner track was
soft and sticky from the recent rains, but
trainers expressed a general opinion that If
no rains fall the race track will have dried
out enough to be not more than two sec
onds slow, which will leave little hope for
those horses whose chances are thought
to rest on their mud running qualities.
