Hur.tbourne Got continentar

NEW YORK, Nov. 16 - The Cont mental handicap, run at the track of the Metropolitan Jockey club, proved a fitting windup to the New York season of 1903, the most successful epoch known in the history of the American turf. Upon Hurstbourne devolved the honor of winning this last stake, and, appropriately enough, he was strong public choice, though he was not suf- fered to win unchallenged since Sheriff Bell gave him the most determined kind of an argument and came within a heed of upsetting good thing.

Colorado Miners, strike still On.

Colorado Miners Strike still On.
 LOUISVILLE, Colo, Nov. 16.-The official count of the votes cast by the miners of the northern coal district re verses the decision and defeats the proposition for a settlement of the strike. The subdistrict board met here and canvassed the vote. They an nounced that the proposition was de- feated, and there would be no work to- day, but refused to make public the vote. It has leaked out that there was a majority of six votes in favor of re- jecting the proposition. The mistake occurred in the counting of the votes at the various unions, and it took but few votes to change the decision.

O'NEILL'S BULLETIN,

several people have asked me why l don't trade real estate the way sev- eral of the other men do in town and be what they call thoroughly up to date. l will tell you why don't. Real estate is a good deal like horses. You never heard Of horse trade where the other fellow didn't get stuck, It is the same thing about real estate. No matter how shreWd the two men who want to trade are, one of them is going to be 'leettle'' the shrewder. But about nine out of every ten who come to me are not well acquainted with property values, and if they do make a trade they do 1t on the recommends ton Of the real estate man or some one else who doesn't know as much about real estate as they do. As conse quence they get their buttons trimmed off. There is no such thing as getting value for value in a real estate trade. Perhaps this may be the reason why real estate men as a rule want to trade and are very anxious to. But I have very straight laced lotions as to the way a real estate business should be conducted, and trading proposition Is not a welcome visitor in my office.
