HOW DAN PATCH MADE
 THE PACING RECORD

cart had the usual strip of canvass as dust screen beneath the seat-this torm- ing the only possible feature that eoulu be called wind shield. After stepplns three heats. the last of which was @'l-74' Dan was ready for grand etfort. MT Me , Henry scored him once ana the seeon1 time down took the word. The pace was so perfect that Dams nose was never more than three feet from Hudson oaoh.i The quarter was passed in 2S secohus tue half was reached in 5S seconps' anu ct that point the spectators were prepaLlhs to greet new champion When Dan passed the third quarter In ETA the cheering began. for he was fairly fiyins' Down the stretch he came without a sign of tiring and at the long distance when. MT. McHenry called on him for the nrst time he sprinted like a deer. Hudson likewise took the cue and sent the runner forward under the whip, while Banta runner was also strung to the limit Dan was really the freshest horse of the trio as they whirled under the wire in l;o6l4. When they returned to the stand Dan ana Mac" were greeted as only southernefs can pay tribute to a popular idol. Dan turned his head to the stand Tn the old familiar way of his sire, and never did a horse appear more conscious of the ad- miration bestowed on him than did thls splendid brown champion.
 To realize how marvellous was the rat ing, it is only necessary to consider that every quarter was paced in 29 seconds ex- cepting the third. which was in 29A. The last eighth was Jagged and was caught in 1S94 seconds. a 1:50 gait. Dan was rigged as usual and pulled a 3O-pound Frazier sulky built specially for him.
 The one thing to be regretted In con- nection with the new champion is the announcement that he and MT. McHenry are apt to part company soon. Mac has recently bought some runners and it is said he will train them and race a stable of thoroughbreds next season.

The Horse Review, which is considered one of the best horse papers in the eoun- try. gives a good account of the race made by Dan Patch when he broke the worlds record lowering II to 1;oeA
 This great horse races here Friday afternoon against the worlds record for mile on half mile track, and if the weather is good it is expected that the horse will lower the present record, 2:0SA, by at least two seconds. The Horse Re- view account of the race at Memphis is as follows:
 When M. E. McHenry appeared on Thursday with Dan Patch for his trial against time the famous son of "old Joe" looked indeed every inch king. He is always horse of character and individ- uality but that day there was something about him that told in advance that he was about to set new record. His con- dition, as evidenced by his bodily appear ance, his payfulness and eheerfulness, was superb and MT. McHenry said just previous to the effort that at no time in the past two years had Dan been favored with such conditions for trial. When he paced to his record of 1:59 at Brighton Beach the track and day were both slow. Alter eXdmlnlnS the track here MT. Me Henry told Mir Howe that it had trifie too much surface for Dan and advised that scraper be used to cut about an inch off the top around at the pole Mir. Howe talked him out of 1t and as an ap- preciation of the tracks condition Mir McHenry presented MT. Howe with the whip he carried after the record mile.
 Scott Hudson drove the leading pace maker and right here let me say that no man ever rated a runner as he did. He drove every inch of the route at an even pace and every stride the runner made was timed like the beat of a watch. Lou Banta drove the other runner and he too did his work to perfection Hudson's

 Herran Without News.
 Washington. November 4.-Dr Ihomas Herran, the Colombian charge, as yet Is without official advice from the isthmus or Bogota concerning the revolution
 q do not believe the officials in Bogota have yet heard of the result" he said, flor as the government officials on the isthmus were arrested without warning, there is probably no person there to keep Bogota informed"
 The Colombian warship Bogota was bought by Dr. Herran in Seattle Wash, more than year ago and with an Amer ican officer in command was armed, equipped and sent down to the isthmian waters for use on the Pacific side. She is now commanded by a Colombian.
 The Cartagena at Colon is warship bought from the Sultan of Morocco.
 During the day telegram was received at the state department from the New York management of the Panama Rail- road company stating that the property of that company was in danger, and ask ing for protection. In addition. a mes sage came from the cable company in effect that there was no telegraphic com munication for points in Colom- bia, outside of Panama and Colon, by way of the isthmus
 There are at the stations named on the lowing numbers of marines:
 Norfolk, 200, League Island, 300, New York. 300; Washington, 800; Boston, 200. Portsmouth, N. H.. 100: Annapolis. 250 In case of emergency 800 or more of these could be spared for service on the isth- mus
 At Port Royal and Charleston only small attachments are stationed, just sufficient to meet the needs of those two stations
 The Colombian warship Bogota is a vessel of HOO tons displacement, carries a fairly heavy sheathing of armor, and a battery of one 14-pounder, six 6-pounders and two machine rapid fire guns
 The Cartagena a Colon is in every way superior boat to the Bogota.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
Secretary Wilson Submits His Annual
to the President.

Secretary Wilson Submits His Annual
to the President.
James Wilson, secretary of agricul.
ture, has submitted his annual report
to the president. In part he says:
Out Of their continued abundance
during the past year the farmers Of
the nation have contributed food and
raw materials for manufactures to hun
dreds of millions Of people in foreign
countries, besides sustaining S0,00O,0 900
at home.
Represented in value, the exports of
grain and grain products had about
two thirds Of the Importance of cotton
in the last fiscal year, the value of the
export being more than 1921 200, 900.
From 100000 acres of wheat, there
was surplus for foreign mouths
amounting to 114,000,000 bushels and
20,000,0OO barrels of flour, amounts
that together represent 204,000,0 900
bushels Of wheat. l4at
Third in Importance are the exports
of meats and meat products, with a
grand total of $17S,O00,000, to which
may be added $35 100000 for live ami
mails. Quantities that are beyond the
grasp Of the mind represent the ex-
ports Of meats and their products. The
pounds of beef were 3S5,000,000; Of
pork, 551 100000; Of lard, 491, 900, 900,
and of oleo oil, 126,000,000.
The foregoing figures, it should be
borne in mind, do not stand for the to-
tai production Of the farms, but for
the surplus production after the wants
of the people at home have been salts
fed.

COUNTRY'S CREDIT.
Bankers Say Our Debts Are Dimin.

Bankers Say Our Debts Are Dimin.
ishing.
A large portion of Wall street is
just now trying to figure out how large
a credit balance this country is piling
up abroad and how much gold we
may count on getting from other coun-
tries in the near future. This, of
course, has more or less of a bearing
on the amount of available funds for
business and speculative purposes.
For two years we were in reality
running behind because of our enor-
nous borrowings abroad, although we
actually had large trade balance in
our operations with other countries.
But bankers practically agree that we
have discharged all Of our indebted
ness created in Europe by syndicates
at one time estimated at upwards of
$4,000 900, OO0-and now we are rapid
ly piling up credit balance. 81
A factor that helped to rapidly wipe
out our credit in the past, up to re-
cent date, was the continued liquida-
ton of our securities by foreigners.
It lis now believed that the selling is
over. For a week Europe has been a
considerable buyer of our securities
and one foreign banker expressed the
opinion that after declines off and on
for year and a half in our stocks
Europe stood ready to take back
quite good many at the present low
level. He said that sentiment there
was much improved towardsall invest.
ments and he predicted a fair ,recov.
cry of our stock market, though not
anything approaching a boom.

'D0N|E HAS SQUARED up
BY A DIPLOMATIC STROKE HE
MAKES PEACE.
His Immediate Creditors Settled With
Others Give Reasonable Time
-Dowie Declared Zion Estate Was
Valued at Fourteen Million Dollars
Lace and Candy Factory Behind
With Orders. '@f

Chicago, Dec. by q stroke of
diplomacy John Alexander Dowie has
established harmony in Zion, its re-
ceivers and its creditors in and out
of court. He proposes to settle with
his immediate creditors, to arrange
with others on a reasonable time
basis and to end the receivership.
At a recent conference between the
attorneys representing the heaviest
creditors and Jacob Newman, attorney
for the receivers. Dowie showed the
lawyers a statement setting forth
lions assets and liabilities. He de-
clared he valued lions estate at $14,.
100000 above all liabilities. He ex.
hibited large orders for lace and
candy. He said neither the lace nor
the candy factory could supply its
orders. He showed an order for rs
carloads of candy from a Cincinnati
firm. He showed draft for $4,000
from a wealthy wellwisher and de.
clared he could draw for 100000
more on one of lions friends in Wis.
consin.
On this showing he offered to set.
tie all urgent claims in cash and to
put Zion on cash basis in all future
dealings with the world. With his
heaviest creditors out of the way, he
said, his debts demanding immediate
payment would not amount to more
than $4,000.
Mr.. Dowies presentation Of figures
and his offers of settlement were sat
isfactory to the attorneys. His plar
will be submitted to the receivers
their attorneys and the creditors at
torneys and, it is said, will be &C
cepted. In that event, the creditors
will join hands with Dowie in a plea
to Judge Kohlsaat to dismiss the
pending litigation and permit Dowit
freedom to gather funds and canoe
his obligations.

INSPIRATION FOR THE WRITING
~ - OF "BEN.HUR."
The Greatest Play Of the Century

suS ~ eosSSS Ttay OF tne century, q
Few people know that 1t was the
famous agnostic. Robert G. Ingersoll,
who caused the writing Of the novel
Ben Hur,"', the stage versien of which
has created an absolute sensation, not
only in this country, but In England
and Australia. 1t came about through
chance meeting of the two famous
men In a railroad journey. when Chris.
tianity became a subject of their talk.
General Wallace had always been a
man of strong religious inclination;
indeed, his splendid description Of the
appearance OF the Star of Bethlehem
to the wise men Of the desert had been
written before this chance acquaint.
The arguments and claims of the
great infidel. were too much for the
doughty general. His senses were
charmed with the eloQuence and poet
ical presentation Of the causes of ag.
Mysticism, but he was by no means
convinced of its truth. The discussion
made him deeply reflective and led
him to makea careful and exhaustive
study of the life of the Nazarine. The
result of this research and General
Wallace's answer to Ingersoll was
"Ben-Hur," work which has been
more widely read than any printed
volume save the sacred Book Of Scrip.

Brooksville,' Ky.-Judge James P.
Harbeson of the circuit court has rem
dered a decision in the case where
the Rev. Thomas Hackett, Catholic
priest, brought an injunction suit
against the school trustees of Brooks
vile asking that they and the teachers
in the public schools be restrained
from reading the Bible or offering
prayer in the schools, on the ground
that it was violation of the constitu-
ton. Judge Harbeson dismissed the
petition, at the. cost of the plaintiff,
and in unqualified terms says that the
bible is the foundation of all Chris
tian governments and he does not SEQ
where it is sectarian to read 1t In
schools. An appeal was asked for and
granted.
