GOLD IN HORSES TEETH.
Valuable EQuines Are Placed in the
Hands of Dentists for Careful
Treatment.

The latest animal to receive the seri-
Gus attention of the dentist is the
horse. Already quite a number of val
liable animals, such as racing and trot-
ting horses. have had their damaged
molars attended to and when they
smile display glittering gold teeth
An operation in horse dentistry is
interesting to witness, says the New
York Press. No man has had more ex-
perience in this unique profession
than DR.. Maher, who has attended to
over go cases during the last two
years. Let US follow the proceedings
in the case of racing mare that re-
Gently arrived at the doctors office to
be operated upon. She was put in box
stall, and in the passageway outside
her door two groOms quickly placed a
table with dental Instruments
dazzling array of nickel-plated
tools.
The dentist in a white coat APP
peared. He took up one of the instru-
ments. 1t had an ebony handle and
four bars of nickel, working on a
ratchet, which crossed one another so
as to form hollow square that grew,
by the turning of screw, little or
big.
''This is a speculum, said Che dem

1t fitted upon the animals back teeth
and held her mouth wide open, af,
fording a good view of all that lay
within. A groom took hold of the
speculum's handle with one band and
of the mares tongue with the other,
and the dentist examined the damaged
teeth. =
ga splinter must me1off here" he
said, and he took up an instrument
two feet long, scissors-shaped, and
with cutting edges that were sawlike.
This was a cutter, and on being applied
to the tooth it snapped off the splinter
as though it had been chalk.
Among the silver glitter of the dem
tai instruments on the table, an exec
trio battery buzzed. The surgeon fixed
to one of its wires drill, and Instant

drill began to revolve with the cur

a humming sound il dug its way
through the torn enamel, making it in
a moment quite regular and smooth.
The dentist cleansed the tooth thor

metal he pounded tight into the cavity
and added more and more to it, mold.

HOW NOT TO CHARM Kim.

She rallied at the man who had wooed her,
because
He was not such man as another man
was;
She scolded him over the teacups and
when
The market went wrong she scolded again:
She complained when he smoked, it was
sinful, she said
She complained when he took up his paper
and read;
Each day she complained that his love
had grown cold,
And she sighed to be loved as he loved her
of old;
She envied her nedghbors, and murmured:
''Ah met
Her husband still loves her! How happy
I'd be
To be loved as she is, to be cherished
alas!
How our idols are broken, how soon the
dreams pass!'
Her neighbor so blessed and so cherished,
had praise
She showed that she thought him exalted
and wise;
She flattered him fondly; she watched with
glad eyes
To see him approaching, to greet him at
night:
She brought his cigar and she gave him a
light:
When he made mistake, as the wisest may
do,
1t was never his fault, that she told him
she knew.
She was satisfied just as he was; she would
not
Have him changed by the very least little
or jot,
And through days that were fair and
through days that were gray
She loved and was loved and went sing
ing away.
There is nothing more sure, more absolute
than
That no woman can scold love into man.

he was going to take care of her when
he was a man. Even after he lefs he
had once written home that he was
"goin' to git some money laid by pref
ty soon." All through these three
years she had written regularly and
lovingly, and though he had answered
only briefly and at long intervals, her
faith in him had not for an instant wav-
cred. Even now he had letter in his
pocket, received three days before, and
not yet opened.
Down here in the depth of the hold,
alone, with everything he had knQwn
about to be left behind, his heart had
suddenly grown tender and sore. It
might be years before he would see
the gentle old face again, and at the
thought his fingers reached for the
letter and drew it out softly and ten
Derry. But it was already dark in the
hold, and he could not see.
For a moment he stroked it re-
morsefully, then he pusked the
case aside and CROPPED his way out
among the boxes and bales. He
would seek the hatchway or some
place where there was light enough
to read the letter. He must find out
what the old mother had to say.
For an hour there had been the
final sounds of departure overhead,
but he had not noticed. AS he went
forward, however, he was conscious
of peculiar sensation of rising and
falling, which told him that the ship
was under way.
The hatchway was not closed, but
even then it would have been too
dark but for a light somewhere
above, which sent a dull shaft into
the hold. In this he opened the let
ter and read:
Dear Sammy: I'm down with the rheu-
MATES, and the doctor says twill be a
long time fore I'm out The Majors are
good, but they can't leave their own work
an do mine. I'm feared, Sammy, if you
don't come, the farm will have to be sold.
Tain't worth much, but / can't look out
for it any more. But don't feel bad, dear
boy, if you can't come. It's only rheu-
MATES I've got. Ever your lovin' mother"
The young man choked; there was
an unmistakable sob. In a moment
he had clambered up the hatchway.
A few passengers were standing near
the rail or lounging about, but no
officers were in sight. 1t was nearly
dark.
Slipping back to the stern of the
vessel, which was almost deserted,
the young man glanced about warily.
The wharves were a mile away and
were shadowy outlines, but he did
not mind that, for he was strong
swimmer and bold one. What he
feared was a Illustration of the plan
which had suddenly formed in his
mind.
No one was watching him, however,
and presently grasping a rope he
swung himself over the side, and
from the end of the rope he dropped
into the water.
Two hours later he drew himself
up on one of the wharves, nearly ex-
hausted, but with a look on his face
that had not been there for years.
"Now for home" he said, aloud;
straight for home" Then. he disap-
peared in the shadow of the great
warehouses.-N. Y Times.

THE RICHMOND STRIKE.

Feur of the seven men who were ar
rested in Fulton Wednesday as conspira-
tors in the attack on a car of the Passen-
ger and Power Company were discharged,
and the other three were sent on to the
grand jury at Richmond yesterday
At the headquarters of the street car
strikers Yesterday a striker named Parks
gave notice that he was going back to
work. Four more strikers applied at the
company's Office yesterday for their old
positions and were assigned for duty.
These are among the oldest and most re-
liable Of the former employees. 1t was
stated at the company's office that eight
or nine men in Petersburg had asked yes
terday for reinstatement.
Sheriff Simon Solomon, of Henrico,
answered to the charge of malieasance
and misfeasance in the Henrico County
Court yesterday. Judge Sims, of Louisa,
sat in the case. This case was set for
July 81.
There were only two incidents of disor-
der Thursday night that were OF serious
nature. A Lakeside car was derailed by
an obstruction placed on the track on the
Barton Heights end Of the First street
viaduct. Near Twenly-fith andQ streets
two pistol shots were fred at an lakewood
car, but the bullets went wild.
Charges were preferred yesterday by
Capt J. G. Farrar, of the Danville COM
pany, against Quartermaster Sergeant
Howard Weeks, of Capt. Farrar's COM
pany. The allegations involve conduct
preiudicial to good order and military
discipline. The charges spring out OF
a petition by Weeks calling for the resig-
nation Of Capt. Farrar.
Company G, Newport News Light In
fantry, which has been on strike duty in
Richmond for some time, left for home
last night. The men will be under or
ders until July "a.
+ A dispatch from Richmond says the
street-car strike is wearing itself out
and seems on the verge of collapse.
Four more strikers have returned to
their positions, and it is said that many
others will do so. One man who broach-
ed the subject at the meeting of the
strikers yesterday was told to 60 back if
he wanted to, as theunion would be glad
to be rid of such as he Eleven strikers
have returned 10 work for the company.
The strikers have not received any strike

ton and have gone fourweeks with little
or no money. Many Of them have

when he was Sc years old, Rudisil made
some utterances which involved himself

termination: ~ have talked too
much; I'll never speak another word as
long as / liye." This resolution be
rigidly adhered to and even on his death
bed remained as mute asa dumb animal.
During his long period OF silence
Rudisil made known his wants by means
of sign language and responded to all
questions by nodding or shaking his
head. He was an attentive listener to
the conversation of Others and frequently
laughed at anything funny that was said
or anything of ludicrous nature that
he witnessed.

The Yachts.

Morris Cove, Conn, July 1S.-A
long thrash of SO miles to windward,
from Morris Cove to New London, con-
fronts the three cup racers Reliance,
Constitution, and Columbia today, in
the second days run OF the cruise of the
New York Yacht Club. Constitutions
clever showing yesterday, when she de-
feated Reliance by over minute on
time allowance, gives clear indications
that the Belmont boat is at last in form
and able to prove to her admirers that
she can give the Reliance hard tussle.
The regatta committee sent the smaller
classes away at $50 and at ten o'clock
the preparatory gun was fired. I'm
mediatcly all three shippers sent up
small reaching jibs in stops and stood
away to the westward of the line. The
warning gun at 1910 found Constitu-
ton crossing Reliance's bow and
heading still farther to the west
ward. Barr had tried to plant
Reliance on Constitutions weather
quarter, but Rhodes laid his ship
off and went further to the west
ward. For time it looked as if Con-
stitution was in danger of being handi-
capped, but Rhodes had timed his craft
to the second and went over the line
with the handicap gun. Reliance stand
ing toward the line found the Columbia
bearing down upon her, but was unable
to prevent Mr.. Morgan from hauling his
wind and laying his boat down squarely
on the new boats weather. Despite tie
disadvantage of being back-winded, Re-
lance worked out from under Columbia's
lee, and stood across the line with her
wind free, and several seconds ahead of
Columbia. AS seen from the shore the
yachts crossed as follows; Reliance
10:15:09; Columbia, 10:15:28; Constitu-
ton, 10:17:00. All three yachts broke
out their small reaching jibs just
before crossing and picking up little
better breeze they moved along with a
fair list, the wind blowing over their
starboard quarters. Constitution, as in
yesterdays race, showed ghostlike form,
and within five minutes after crossing
the line had lee position under Column,
bia and then rapidly pulled away from
the old boat. As tho yachts worked out
to the eastward in the dense haze Re-
lance was leading with Constitution
second, holding the new boatin the light |
wind, and Columbia third, falling be-
hind,
The yachts finished as follows: Re
lance, 1884; Constitution, 1:42:06, |

BEAVERS IN MEsHEs OF LAW.

A bench warrant was issued by Judge
Thomas, in the United States Circuit
Court in Brooklyn, yesterday, for the ar
rest of George w. Beavers, former chief
of the division Of salaries and allowances
of the PostOfice Department, on an in
dictment found by the federal grand
jury, which charges him with accepting
a bride OF $40. 1t is understood that
payments to Beavers were traced back to
the purchase by the government of the
Brandt Dent Cash Registering Machine
Company. The postoffice inspectors
found that Beavers had large account
in the Nassau Trust Company, of Brook
Ign, and are said to have discovered
that checks deposited there had been
given by ex-Congressman briggs. The
warrant has net yet been served, and
it was rumored that Mr.. Beavers could
not be found. 1t was stated that he
would have until Monday to present
himself, and that an arrangement had
been made with his attorneys to enter
a plea for him at that hime.
u. 5. Judge Edward q. Thomas
in Brooklyn yesterday listened to an ar
gument by counsel on afidavits in sup
port Of demurrer to four indictments
found by the federal grand jury for June
against George f. Miller, as New York
agent of the Brandt Dent Automatic
Cashier Company, of Watertown, Wis,
for the procurement ola contract and
the payment of moneys thereon with
former Congressman Edmund Fl. briggs,
Of Brooklyn, who was indicted at the
same time for his part in automatic
cashier transactions between Miller and
the United States Postoffice Department.
Judge Thomas directed that briefs be
submitted on both sides by September l.
Counsel for Miller contended that at the
time of the procurement OF the contract
briggs had not been sworn in as a menu
Der OF Congress, but was member-elect.
Judge Thomas said: at ought to be
made reasonably clear whether mem
Der of Congress-elect is to be considered
a member Of Congress.

CAPTURED with the Plumber.

New York, July 1S.-Mrs. Grace
Taylor, wife of Edward Taylor, a well
known bookmaker, was the complainant
in court today, against three young men
whom she accused oftrying to rob her Of
jewelry valued at s45, 900. Mrs. Taylor
says she quarrelled with her husband
last night and left the house, going to a
saloon on Sixth avenue. There she met
three men and drank freely with them.
Early this morning, she started for home
and her three companions volunteered to
act as her escort. Mrs. Taylor says that
as they were passing along Sixth avenue,
the men snatched bag from her which
contained her jewelry. They ran but her
screams attracted a policeman, who cap
tured the entireparty. He also recover
ed the jewelry which the thieves had
thrown away when they were being Pur-
sued.
