JOCKEY MILLER
 KILLED IN RACE
Occurred in Last Event at
 Brighton Beach
GOOD HORSE DESTROYED
Eighteen Unruly Horses Faced the Starter In the Last Race and the Accident Was Caused By
 Their Bad Behavior.

New York October 14.-A bad accident occurred during the running of the sixth race at Brighton Beach today which re- suited in the death of Jockey Frank Mil Ter. The race was for maiden 2-year-olds at furlongs, and eighteen unruly horses went to the post. The start was fair, but before the field had gone half a mile So- noma Bell, ridden by Firman, made an attempt to get up on the rail, and in doing so was shut off, stumbled and fell. Clitie, with Miller in the saddle was directly be- hind and stumbled over Sonoma Bell. Mil- Ter was thrown heavily and died in a few moments. An examination showed the print of a horses hoof on his chest. Fir man escaped injury.

PASSING OF Usage HEDGE.
Miles of Fences Have Disappeared
Since the Invention Of
Darbed Wire.

The Usage hedges which border thou
sands of Illinois farms are gradually
disappearing. This hedge, introduced
half century ago by Prof. j. y. Turner,
of jacksonville, became very popular,
and for many years was favorite
fence, not only with farmers, but with
lot owners in the smaller towns, and
with the railroad companies, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
The high price Of fence posts and
lumber made the Usage an economical
fence, also, and in spite of its faults
it gradually became extensively used.
1t held its own until wire fencing APP
peared. Then it became evident that
the Usage was doomed. Wire fencing
was more effective, was cheaper, took
up less room and required less care
The railroads began grubbng up their
hedges and substituting wire. The
farmers followed their lead, and where
there used to be miles OF hedge there
are only rods of it now.
The Usage Is still used for wind
breaks, but owing to the fact it is in
furious to vegetation near it is becom-
ing fixed idea ii will probably soonbe
abandoned entirely.

MOTORMAN'S EXPERIENCES.

"Peoplc who complain that the car
isn't stopped just right for them at
the crossing" said a motorman. &C
cordiug to the New York Sun, may
really have themselves to blame for
it. They don't give the conductor
notice and so the conductor can't tell
the motorman time enough ahead.
When he can the conductor gives the
motorman ample notice Of the street
at which he IL wanted to stop; he
may pull the strap for the next block
almost before the car has got fairly
well started from the last, but the
motorman likes ample notice.
"The rails may be slippery and it
may on some days require more

8 not even new. Cynics and satirists,
preachers and writer's have waged
var on social amenities all down the
ages, writes "A Countess" in the
London Outlook. We know how Dan
lei denounced the Babylonian court
and how Horace revealed the profit
gacy of Augustan Rome. Every lead
er of regenerating movement,
whether it be st. Bernard exhorting
to crusades, St. Francis teaching
Utopian poverty or John Knox
preaching reformation, has de-
nounced the easy morals and the cas-
Ter standard of the liberation OF cur
rent society. The reformers of every
age denounce their own contempor-
aries in accents Of varying degrees
of violence. Rosseau and Voltaire
poured out diatribes from different
points of view against the frivolous
society which was cut off so abruptly
by the guillotine, but their denuncia-
tions fell on deaf ears. Nobody"
said Talleyrand, could have any con-
ception of how pleasant society could
be who had not lived before the
French revolution" To reform those
who will not be reformed is difficult.
The grandmother of Ambrosine hold
ing a scented pocket handkerchief to
her nose to keep off the odor of the
crowd as she tripped to the guillotine
and Mary, Queen of Scots, yawning
in the face of Knox, exactly typify
the attitude of all ages toward the
Jeremiahs hammering at the portals
of society.

QUEER THINGS ABOUT SONGS.
Now Date Back to Time of
Crusades.

Martin Luther was not the first to OBJ
ject to letting the devil have all the
good tunes" The bishop of Ossory in
the fourteenth century used such tunes
as "Do, Do, Nightingale, Sing Full
Merry" in compiling book of hymns.
Mr.. L. c. Elson, in the International
Quarterly, states that the song of De-
borah and Barak in the Scriptures,
with its extemporlzation, It's clapping
of hands to mark the rhythm, it's al
formation of solo and chorus, would not
be unlike the singing at a camp meet
ing on southern plantation"
The drum major of military band
is a survival of the champion who
STROBE, twirling his sword, at the head
of an army in the old days, challenging
the champion of the other side to com
bat.
"We Won't Go Home Till Morning"
has a more interesting history than
any other song. TWAS first sung in the
Holy Land in honor of a French cru
solder named Mambron. The melody
was caught by the Saracens, anil Is
stillsunin the east. In France the name
"Mambron" was centuries afterwards
altered to "Malbrooke," derisively APP
piled to the duke of Marlborough. NAL
brooke he went to war"-the words fit
ted well enough. The further state
ment, true of the old crusader, hes
dead and buried" was applied In the
spirit of hope to the victor Of Blen-
helm.
"Du Maurier In "Trlby" makes great
use of "Malbrooke," as he does of "Ben
Bolt" Beethoven used the theme in
an orchestral score, "The Battle of VT
toria." In England the song is often
est fitted to the words, 'For He's a
Jolly Good Fellow"
Scottish folk songs are most difficult
TO initiate. Mendelssohn did it so sue
ccSsfully, however, that most people
who sing ooh, Vert Thou in the Could
Blast?" take it for an old native air.

Cattle I'm the West.

"More cattle are being raised in the
west than ever before. Ranches Of
thousands OF acres have been divided
into small farms, but each farmer
raises much more in the aggregate, :"
said Robert S. Faulkner, Of Kansas
City. at is true the big ranches of 20
years ago have disappeared, but these
lands are held in smaller parcels by
farmers who are largely engaged in
raising corn and feeding stock Where
there were formerly herds Of several
thousand cattle there are now many
small farmers who raise from 20 to 50
head ofcattle annually. The horse and
mule business has been on the boom
for several years, and that gave the i'm
preston that the cattle raising had
become side issue. During the Boer
war the British made the raising Of
horses and mules quite a profitable
business for US in the western states"

MEN INFERIOR TO CATS.
Several Points in which the Feline
Has the, Advantage Over the
Human Species.

There are several points in which
man is inferior to the cat. The cat,
for one thing, has no vermiform APP
pendix, and consequently never suf-
fers from appendicitis. furthermore,
while man has chosen to be noe
turnal as well as diurnal creature
he has only the diurnal vision;
whereas the cat, devoting cts days to
civilization and its nights to barbar-
ism," can see in the dark as well as
In the light, having a patent adjusta-
BILE eye, says the New York Mail and
Express.
She possesses nine lives and all of
them have to be taken in order to
get rid of the cat. If the red slayer
thinks he Stays he knows not well
the subtle ways in which this admir-
able certure passes, turns and brings
forward her successive entities for
obliteration. Drowned in the pond
she returns to the woodshed or the
kitchen door, requiring to be shot.
Shot, she comes back to be asphyx-
lated. Smothered by the fumes of
chloroform, she revives and calls for
prussic acid. She is n walking, liv-
ing, breathing, vociferating exempli-
tication of the principle of metemp-
svchosis. Her reincarnations in one
brief period outrival those to which
man is condemned by the Hindoo
theology in hundreds OF years and
her avatars outnumber Buddha's.
1t is no wonder that the Egyptians
worshiped the cat. She has been able
to get hold of some principle which
man, the boaster, who vaunteth him
self almost god, Is denied.
