DAM. AT THE STATE FAIR
CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH HE WILL
GIVE EXHIBITION.
Owner VIII BE Paid According to
~Speed-Must Pace in 2:O4 or
Gets Nothing.

The conditions under which Dan r. is
to pace an exhibition mile at the State fair
next Wednesday afternoon will. the State
Board of Agriculture feels sure. make an
honest effort certain. The owner of Dan,
NJ. u. Rudy, of Yorktown, Ind, is to be
paid for the exhibition according to the re-
suits the PAGER obtains. Dan r. has a rec
ord of 2:01%. His owner is to be paid a
certain sum if the horse equals this record.
If Float jolly drives Dan r. at a faster
clip than his record, Rudy will get a still
larger sum for the exhibition. The con-
tract between Rudy and the State Board
reads that if Dan R.. does not 60 a mile in
at least between 2:O3 and 2:O4 Rudy is TO
get nothing for the exhibition.
In former years a feature that has been
on the fair programme has been a parade
of cattle and horses before the grand
stand at the race track. but owners of prize
stock have been slow in carrying out their
part of 1t. President John l.. Thompson is
going to insist next week that the owners
make this one of the fair attractions. The
days for the parades have not been fixed,
but they will probably occur early in the
afternoon on Wednesday and Thursday.
There will be a parade of horses on one
afternoon and the cattle will be seen the
next.
The fair grounds were alive with industry
yesterday. and will be until thesexposition
is ready to open next Monday. Exhibits
by the carload have been shunted on the
switches OF the Monon and Lake Erie &
Western railroads on both sides of the
grounds, and wagons loaded with machinery
have been going from freight depots down
in the city. TIL barns are beginning to fill
up with show horses, fancy cattle and other
live stock, and farmers are shipping in
quantities of products to compete for blue
ribbons in the agricultural classes.

CHANGE IN PoPE's DOMINION.
Is Not Now Head of Majority of
ChristendOm.

Talcott Williams, in Review of Reviews.
The Pope is no longer, as was even Leo
when crowned. the accepted head OF a ma
jority of ChristendOm. His flock OF 30
600, 600 is outnumbered by the total of Greek
and Protestant, 2i6. 600. Even In Europe,
16O. coo. 600 look to him. and 100000 to di-
vided shepherds. When Plus TX was crowned
his flock in Europe was 125.0oo,00 and
those without his fold in European lands
but $4,000. 900. When Plus VII took his
troubled seat a century ago. the proper
ton was nearly four TO one. 1t was nearly
eight to one when an Albani. XII,
by the great bull, Unigenitus. began mod
ern ultramontanlsm. In two hundred years
this assertion of the power of the Pope has
seen him pass from the head of all but
a ninth of Christendom TO the head OF less
than half. In another century, Protest
antism alone will equal Roman Catholicism
But the Roman Pontiff remains for 2 all
these changes, which have seen the great
growth of modern population flow i'm Greek
and Protestant channels, the august head
of a majestic communion in whose many
chapeled shrines all lands and all men wor-
shin. To no man on earth do so many of
earth's souls turn for comfort, compassion,
and consolation, and no blessing is more

-FOUR COPS IN THE WATER.
The Man Whose Boat They Had Raid
ed Fished Them Out.
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
Four Salem police officers-Carr, Healey.
Doyle and Moynahan-served a search war
rant on Moses Priest in his fishing yacht
Wilhelmina off Salem Willows about 3
O'Clock Sunday morning. They. did not ind
any contraband liquors. A few minutes
later Mr.. Priest had occasion to search the
briny deep for four police officers.
Some days ago a report was made TO the
park commissioners that two kegs of beer
were lying on a wharf at the WILLOWS,
against the rules. They were addressed 10
Priest. Sunday a search warrant was pro-
cured to search Priests boat Tor liquor.
These four policemen stole down 10 the VIII
lows in the early hours of the morning TO
serve that warrant. They got hold OF a
little dinky boat about big enough Tor Two
ordinary men. In that they rowed out to
the yacht. There they searched for the
beer, but found nothing. Naturally Priest
was not delighted To get up and move about
in his shirt at 3 o'clock in the morning.
Having searched the boat. the police
started TO row ashore. a wild wind was
blowing. and the waves were Shaping
around lively. Every minute water came
over the side of the frail boat. Finally
some one moved too much TO one side, and
over went the boat. splitting the four po-
licemen into the deep water. Ii was deep
enough for drowning purposes. The night
was dark. and the two lanterns went TO
the bottom of the sea.
The police called Justify for help. The
only person whom they aroused was Mr..
Priest himself. He jumped into his boat i'm
his shirt and drawers and rowed TO the
scene OF the StIuSsle, ana one py Ole ne
pulled the policemen out and landed them
at the Willows wharf. Ii was really n
narrow escape. They were cold, chilled
| through. when they got out, and had 10 go
uptown to- Salem before getting to warmth
and dry clothes. Naturally, they were pro-
fuse i'm their thanks. since Mr.. Priest, whom
they had troubled so much, should so soon
act the part OF the good Samaritan. They
had searched his boat for liquor. and he
searched the bottom of the sea for them.
He was more successful than they were.

THE M'COOK SPIRIT.

New York Tribune.

NC" IOih AtipuhS.
A characteristic story of General Arson
G.. McCook, revealing the spirit of the
famous Fighting McCooks,' is told by his
nephew, p. j. McCook, of the local law
the tradition of his family in the present
generation by service in Porto Rico in the
Spanish war. The story, as Mr.. McCook
tells it, is as follows:
MY uncle used 10 delight in INVITING his
brother Henry. a Philadelphia clergyman,
witt the charge of obstinacy. He was for
ever aliuding to this trait, and used TO tell
a boyhood story to prove the obstinacy of
the clerical brother. When they were both
boys they were one day playing Indian in
the backyard of their old home, and the
ing a Ratchet, which was the single toma-
hawk of their tribe. One day when they
were hurting this Ratchet at an unoffend-
ing post the general proposed that they
should take two shots apiece and the one
that made the best score should order the
other to go down into the dark cellar and
fetch out some apples, a terrible n igno-
minious forfeit. They agreed and went at
the Ratchet throwing. The general lost at
the game, and his brother instantly ordered
that he fetch the apples.
" i sham. said the general. I'm going
TO take another shot
mo, you're not said his brother; we
agreed to two, and two are all there are
going to be-
to be three. and, anyway, L am the oldest,
declared the general.
You'll see if you are declared the
brother, and running to the post he put
both arms about it and deiantly faced his
brother.
Get out of the wayi' shouted the
future general, whirling the Ratchet around
his head.
You don't dare!' sneered the boy at the
post.
I'm going to count three, and at three
the hatchet goes came the answer, and
without more ado the future hero of Stone
River began to count. At the third count
he hurled the Ratchet. 1t flashed across
the yard, but the brother. still c~linging TO
the post. turned his head aside, the Ratchet
grazed his temple, cutting il slightly in
passing and dropped beyond. Clapping his
handkerchief OF his bleeding forehead, the
defiant youngster shouted scornfully:
"'You didn't make me get out of the
way, and my won't you catch ii nowr
THAT was my uncle's customary story
when he called his brother obstinate"

consequences of exposure are rather
serious.
A case in point occurred about a year

ness. One of the buyers, who had not
been long in the firms employment, fell IN
love with the governors daughter. she
reciprocated his affection, her father smiled
on the affair, and the course OF love seemed
TO be flowing quite smoothly.
Just before the intended announcement
of a formal engagement was made. now
ever, the proceedings were suddenly nip
ped in the bud.
A new assistant, in consequence of a
quarrel with the love-sick buyer. who was
his superior in the same department. made
some revelations concerning his CHEERS hlrt-

they had both lived.
AS a direct result OF inquiries made into

ordered his daughter TO at once break of

the walls of an old brick mansion on the
eastern side Of the square where I had
elected TO sit.
1t was my first afternoon in the square
when a hand organ began 10 grind forth its
turgid strains before the brick house. L
looked and listened. expecting with each
moment that some one would issue from the
house OF doom and driNe the dinmaker
away. Instead. a bright black man, EVIL
IDENTIFY n butler, came and stood on the
porch. An hour went by before the roper
tory was exhausted; then the black man
gave the organ man a dollar, and the music
and the man went quietly their ways.
II should think il would disturb your
MASTER / said to the black guardian OF the
porch.
He likes it." he replied. "The organ
comes by his orders. The doctor says Il does
him more good than the medicine.
For a full week i attended these con-
certs i'm the square. Then came a day when
the hand organ did not appear. / looked at
my watch; / was surprised. the concert was
ten minutes overdue. What should delay
him? Surely that easy dollar had its
charmst
Then, as though ia answer to my ques-
ton, my eye caught a black ffutter at the
door. 1t was a knot Of Grape. The ear that
had listened was dulled; the audience had
departed; Blaine. secretary OF state, was
dead.
