COST OF 2.MINUIE HORSE
G. g. K. Billings Has Paid More
Than 81 100000 to own Cham
pion Trotters.

70 reach the ideal spede in a trotting
horse, c. K. G. Billings, of Chicago, has
spent more than million dollars. The
Two minute trotter became fact only
after years of experiment and a lavish
expenditure which is without parallel in
the world OF harness-horse sport. It re-
quired a fortune to bring out the mare
that could reduce the mark for mile to
the figure that had been dreamed Of for a
quarter Of century.
Mr.. Billings Inherited from his father.
A. M Billings, not only love for har-
ness horses, but means to crafty it. He
did not set about to produce a horse that
could cover a mile in exactly two min
utes, but he aimed at the acme of speed.
In all of his purchases Mr.. Billings has
sought to get the horse that could show
it's heels to others in amateur contests
When he began to buy horses Mr.. Bill
ings did not rush into the market and
offer himself as an angel to some of the
shrewd dealers. He called expert horse
men to his side, asked their views on all
matters, and finally commissioned them
to act for him. He spent his money, but
he employed good judges Of horses to ad-
wise him.
Altho he has bought scores of horses,
MIR. Billings has probably owned less
number of failures than any other man
who ever dabbled, as he has, in the light
4 d
and was rightly advised to buy him, that
horse became his property. Money did
not stand in the way Of a, purchase All
the time he was bidding for the best the
market had to offer. He was not after
horses with records established close to
the coveted mark, but sought those that
gave the greatest promise. He steadily
refused to race his horses for money or
to patronize the betting ring. He could
afford to do it, and with Mr.. Billings back
of 1t amateur racing became in some re-
| spects as prominent as the professional
features of the sport.
Mr.. Billings did things handsomely. He
| already owned fast horses that had won
honor on the New York speedway, but he
secured Bumps who outfooted all rivals to
wagon. He bought Lucille and Little
| Boy and established more wagon records.
He conceived the idea that Memphis was
an ideal spot for wintering horses and
without the promise of single dollar in
| return he built a track and stables at
Memphis that cost $4,000
! Counting all the expense that has at
tended Mr.. Billings dealings with ahrness
| horses, it Is conservative to estimate that
he has spent 100000 in gratifying a de-
sire to own fast horses. There has been
no chance for him to get return on any
| investment, for the sole reason that he
| bought for pleasure and not for profit
| Probably the 200 trotter would have
been realized if Mr.. Billings had not ent-
cred the field for sport, but she might not
have come SO quickly. It was willing
ness to spend money freely to crafty a
| love of harness horses that led to the pur-
chase of Lou Dillon and finally to her REQ
ord breaking feat.

as.ss,s THOUSAND DEER
VIII Be Let Loose from Private Park
and Farmers Are
Stroudsburg, Pa, Correspondent New
York Herald.

~ y
Stroudsburg, Pa, Correspondent New
York Herald.
One thousand deer are to be liberated
from Buckwood park, owned by c. C.
Worthington of New York in a few days.
The animals have multiplied so rapidly
that they will starve unless many are set
at liberty. There are now over 1000 deer
in the park, which Is opposite Shawnee,
and they have cleaned up nearly all the
food to be had Food was so scarce last
winter that many deer died.
Superintendent Smith intends to let
down sections Of the fence inclosing the
park and SO let the animals roam out
whenever they choose. Many Of them are
likely to stray into Monroe.
Farmers residing near the park do not
favor the liberation, fearing that the deer
will do damage to their property, but
their freedom Is the only way out Of the
difficulty. I'VE either have to give the
deer their liberty or let them starve,' says
Smith.
Eleven years ago nineteen deer were
placed In the park, which covers thou
sands of acres, and since then about 100
have been killed by hunting parties.

COSTLY LONDON DIRT
Edmund q. Walton Writes That Real
Estate Is a Favorite
Speculation.
Building Is Going On Everywhere
And Raising Rents Are
the Rule.

London dirt forms the main topic Of cor
dependence in recent letters from Ed
mund G. Walton Of Minneapolis, who is
spending several weeks in England He
says that building Is going on In London
like Wildfire, rents are rising and real es-
tate is once again quite a favorite form of
speculation. IT hear it discussed on the
trains, talked Of around the hotels, and
one can, Of course, see it with ones eyes,
writes Mr.. Walton. If the effete east can
do a realty boom, why can't we get Into
t it?"
letter written month later contains
the following: There is actually and
really a real estate boom on here, more
building, more improvements and more
actual doings than the living Londoner has
ever seen. Being interested in quite a lot
of London property, 1 was struck at once
by the change. My agent even had
changed-an enthusiast instead of a barn
yard fowl, and advocated better papers,
brighter paint and a general cleaning up,
instead Of, as in years past, saying, oh,
let them go this year; they will rent all
right as they are The result is that the
clean and newly painted villa is getting an
increase Of rent and all the good tenants.
while Mr.. Stingy Landlord Is having 1t
hourly stuck into him and stuck Deep"
THE county council is giving much at
tention to the streets and London never
looked so clean--I mean not the parts seen
by the average tourist, but the suburban
parasitic Walton parks, so to speak, to
which have given much time"
|, One Of the most interesting paragraphs
refers to something new to American real
estate dealers: Another point in favor
Of real estate is the enormous pressure
being brought to bear on the renter to own
his own home. The county council will
buy any house for any man on application,
and sell it to him on instalments. This
| makes a market, for the seller gets his
cash, the buyer buys fro mhis own gov
eminent, thus becoming a voter, and the
government on it's side gains man nat
urally more interested in its success.
| son the stock exchange, where I once
worked, was amazed to hear several act
| ually complain that the building boom was
cutting deep into their profits and was
| largely responsible for the low price in
stocks Even consols are lower than at
any time since 1870, people really under
standing at last that if they put new
fronts into old buildings and tried to pol
ish up their streets, an income could be
secured away above the rate of interest
paid by government bonds.
Il am a city Of Minneapolis believer
| right down deep in, and the tide, has
| turned at last, Of that I am fully con-
vinced."

fEVERISH PREPARATION.
Work Of Preparation at the Vatican Is
Being Rushed

Rome, July 27.-The vatican re-.
sembles an anthlll so feverish is the
work of preparing the part of that
building set apart for the conclave.
Before 1870 conclaves we're held in
the quirinal palace, one long wing
of which WAS already without and
special preparation. But in the case
of the vatican apartments of three
or four rooms for each cardinal have
to be specially prepared and as there
are sixty four car llnals the amount
Of work involved is very great in
deed.
The Sistene chapel, as in tho case
Of the last conclave, will be used for
tho meetings of tho cardinals and
the bnlloting. There, after three
solemn funeral services which began
Tuesday, will be erected throne
for each cardinal. Over the thrones
will be baldacchinos, or canopies,
attached to the wall behind. The
moment the new pope is elected he
will lower his baldacchino as a
token of his new dignity, thus 81,
lently announced. The Paulin
chapel will be used for the celebra-
tion of high mass every morning of
the conclave, while in the Sala Du.
Gale will be movable affairs for the
masses to be celebrated every morn
ing by each cardinal.

LYNCHED A NEGRESS
Louisiana Mob Strings up Woman who
Poisoned White girl.

New Orleans, July 81. A Picayune
special from Shreveport, La, says:
News reached Shreveport today
that negress, Jennie Steer, who ad-
ministered poison in a glass of lemo.
made to Lizzie Dolan, from the effects
of which she died, was lynched by an
infuriated mob about sundown last
night. The lynching occurred on
the Beard plantation, near where tho
crime was conn ted.
Jennie Steer " q stubborn to the
last, denying her crime, but the proof
against her was direct and conclu-
sive.
1t is said the negress fled from the
Dolan house as soon as her crime was
known. She was found crouching in
hay loft. The negress Indignantly
denied the crime. She was taken to
the Dolan homestead and fully ident-
flied.
The mob then took her to a near
by tree, placoi rope around her
neck and ,gein asked her to confess
She was stubborn to the last, how
ever, and was strung up without max
ing any admissions.
While the body was dangling in
md air several bullets were fired in
to it by enraged citizens
The victim of poison was besuti
full young girl who was not known tc
have an enemy in tbo world. She
died in horrible agony, which accen
tuated the rage of the mob.

CAR LOAD OF LIQUOR SEIZED.
Information Is That Revenne Tax Was Not
Paid and Government Holds Stuff
Until Thorough Investigation
Can he Made.
Augusta Chronicle.

Augusta Chronicle.
Columbia, S. O., July 27.-Reve-
nue. officers here seized carload of
corn whiskey Saturday afternoon be-
lieved to have been assigned to a
local dealer. The seizure was made
on request of the collector of inter
nal revenue Of Georgia aud will be
held until an investigation now be-
ing made is completed.
The stuff passed through here
some time ago being consigned from
Spencer, N. O., to Savannah, Ga,
which is the way local dealers work,
making the shipment interstate and
safe from the hands of the consta-
bles. The constables, however, got
busy with the internal revenue office
in Georgia and when the car came
back Saturday the revenue office
here was requested blythe Georgia
Office to hold the car. The dealer
here finding the car watched 30
closely had it billed to Charlotte,
N. c., but the train was stopped at
Blanding street station and the car
seized. 1t contained 1855 kegs each
holding 4 7.8 gallons of corn whis-
key valued at about $50 gallon.
The revenue officers here will hold
it until the officers at Spencer, N. c.,
where the car originated, ascertain
whether the government tax is paid
or not and if not 1t will b. confis
Gated. If it has been paid the stuff
will be released, as the government
has nothing to do with the States
law. Meanwhile the constables will
not lose sight of the car as long ae
it is in this State and the local deal
or is simply out carload of whis
key.
Constable Cureton this morning
reported to Chief Hammett that he
had seized the distillery run by j. D
Stensell in Plckens county and about
500 gallons of whiskey. Stansel
WAS caught taking whiskey from the
government warehouse for illega
purposes and as the government
gauger violated the law in letting
him have it, he will be prosecuted
by the United States government.

WHO SHALL BE NEXT POPE 2
The Question Which AbSOrbs the Vatican
Just Now Almost all the Cardinals III
ROme-COrdlal Reception of
Cardinal Gibbons.

Rome, July 27.-Almost all the
Cardinals of the Conclave have now
arrived. Their time today was main
ly occupied with a long meeting of
the Congregation, which was notable
for the cordiality with which Cardi
nal Gibbons was received. After
the meeting the Cardinals received
numerous visits at their various resi-
dences. In we'll informed circles
Cardinal Angelo Di Pietro, prothono-
tary of the late Pope, is being talked
Of as compromise candidate, IN the
event that Cardinals Oreglia, Gotti
Rampolla or Serafno Vannutelli are
unable to secure the necessary votes.
Should d Pietro be elected Pope he
would, it is said, be the representa-.
tive of the Rampolla- Gottl faction
and yet would be fairly acceptable tc
all. Cardinal Michael Logue, Arch
bishop of Armagh, who, with the OK,
ception of Cardinal Gibbons, will be
the only English speaking Cardinal
in the Conclave, arrived today from
Ireland. He said he believed that
the successor to Leo would be quick
ly chosen. In his case perhaps the
hope is father to the thought, as he
said he did not look forward with q
great degree of pleasure to being
shut up in the Vatican dnring the
present hot weather.
Speaking of Cardinal Gibbons, the
Irish Cardinal paid him glowing
tribute, though, like all the prelate ee
here, he held out no hope that the
American Cardinal had the remotest
chance Of election
"Indeed," said Cardinal Logue,
81 think Cardinal Gibbons would be
a subject for COMMUNICATION if the Sc
lection should devolve upon him, for
no American would care to spend the
rest of his life confined within the
precincts Of the Vatican"
The Irish Cardinal expressed the
opinion that the question of sending
a note to the Powers protesting
against the treatment Of the Vatican
to The Italian Government should be
lost to the next Pope.
1t is now practically certain that
all the Cardinals will I've present at
tho Conclave except Cardinal Moran,
Archbishop Of Sydney, who will not
reach Rome in time, and Cardinal
Celesia, Archbishop of polermo, who
is too i'll to attend.

Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
Madison, Wis, July 27.-Senator
B. II. Tillman of South Carolina to-
night matched his keen wit and sar-
oasm against the legal mind and
western manners of Senator Burton
of Kansas.
Eight thousand people listened to
the debate on the negro problem and
Senator Tillman received the great
est favor.
Senator Tillman said the negro
owed all lthe progress he had made
to thy Southern people,; that the
north went to war to "free the mig
ger" first and "save the union later;'
that the Republican party played the
friend of the black man in order to
get black votes; that the great dis
turbing element in the problem was
that the people of the north, affect

and humanitarianism were attempt
ing to poke their "great long noses"
into the business Of the southern
people who we're equal to accomplish
ing the task.
Senator Burton agreed that the
negroes had grown more degraded
since the war, but said it WAS the
fault of the south, lack of schools
and the euchreing Of the negroes out
Of their constitutional rights of bal
lot.
Senator Tillman said the South
would take up arms rather than al
low the North to force an impossible
social or political equality between
the whites and negroes in the South
ern States.
Speaking of the recent lynching of
negroes in the South, Senator Till
