CLdPPED BY A SECOND.

Syracuse, N. Y, Sept. 10.-Maior
Delmar, driven by Alta p. Mcdonald,
in an attempt to beat the New York
state fair record of 2:041a, held by John
A. McKerron, Wednesday afternoon
trotted mile in, 2:01h. clipping
second from his own and the worlds
record for trotting geldings of 2:021s.
and three-quarters of second from
the record of Cresceus. The champion
gelding did the mile seemingly with
ease, and the horsemen who witnessed
the wonderful feat believe that Lou
Dillon's mark of 200 will be eQualed
by the mighty son of Delmar before
the season ends.
The first quarter was passed in 31A
seconds, comparatively slow time. The
half-mile pole was reached in 1:01N.
The third quarter was the fastest of
the four, Major Delmar covering it in
29% seconds. Then commenced the
struggle for the wire. Just 80 seconds
expired In that last splendid effort of a
gallant horse. The time for the mile
was 2:01k.
Lou Dillon (2:00) Is to start to a
high wheeled sulky to try to lower the
record of Maud S (2:0SA). This will
settle the question as to the speed of
the old-time champion. There are
many who claim that Maud s. was the
fastest trotter the world ever saw and
that to bike she would have beaten
the two-minute mark.

he was taken away. He was young
man about 80 years of age, unmarried,

where it will be held until word is

MRS. PULLMAN WAS SURPRISED
Widow Of the Late Car Magnate Gets
a Severe Jolt.

Widow Of the Late Car Masnate Gets
a Severe Jolt.
A well known Cambridge Mass
doctor, In the meeting of a society
held at his house a short time ago,
gave the following anecdote relative
to Mrs. George Pullman, widow of the
late car magnate. A friend or mine
(the name might have been Anderson
was Ill with shaking palsy. He was a
western man and had many peculiar
tiles. One was that when he went into
a place where 1t was warm he would
take off his jacket. He came to me
for advice. and referred him to a
New York specialist. He called upon
the doctor one day and, taking of his
coat, sat down in a chair.
Shortly afterwards two well dressed
ladies entered and both looked at
him in establishment. One was about
to leave. The other said that she
would send in her card and have the
man removed. They evidently thought
he was intoxicated. The doctor came
out in response to the card, with
smiling face. He bowed to Mrs. Pull
man and then to Mr.. Anderson. He
then introduced the latter to the great
lady.
When Mr.. Anderson caught the
name Pullman" he asked II she was
the wife of George Pullman. She an
swered affirmatively. He said: We'll,
! am glad to meet you. l remember
George when he used to work for
me for $3.50 a day

MAIL POUCH IS LOST
WHILE IN TRANSIT
Package Said to Have Contained $50,
600 in Checks, Drafts and Cash
May Have Been Stolen.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 16.-Indian-
ipolis postal officials are anxiously
seeking mail pouch which contains
$4,000 in checks, drafts and cash.
Robbery is suspected, but there is abb
.olutely no clew. If stolen the theft
vas consummated so cleverly that no
racks were left. The pouch was con-
signed to the Indianapolis, the Chicago
and to other Offices in the Northwest.
The sending Office was Louisville, al
:hough 6e letters originated in nine
owns alng the j., M. and L Railrad.
Letters to banks and trust companies
and to big firms in Indianapolis and
Chicago were in the pouch. While
here is strong belief that the pouch
has been stolen, postal authorities hes
tate to accept that view. They say
t is far more likely that the mail bag
was missent or misthrown.
One draft in the pouch is for ST.
700, said be firm Luisville bank to
1 Chicago correspondent. Other drafts
.un from $50 to 5000.

or course, every young mother
thinks her baby the center of the uni
verse. There have been several boy
babies born in the little town OF
A. during the past summer
This is not intended as a startling
piece of news, because their arrivals
have been duly and appropriately
chronicled, but 1t is only stated as the
basis of little joke.

boys at home. met in one of the large

chases about the same time. As they
were all leaving the place. within
speaking distance of each other, q
fresh young assistant, in an effort tc
be pleasant, fired the stereotyped
question at one of them, How is the
boy, to-day?"
In an instant four beaming faces
were turned towards him and -four
pleased voices answered in chorus,
"Oh. he's all right, thank you"
The assistant nearly tainted.
