THE WHITE BuFFALo.

The disappearance of the stuffed white buffalo from the Kansas state house, presumably taken by the daughter of the man who left it there on exhibition sor so many years, will recall some queer experiences of to old buffalo hunt CTS on the western Kansas prairies. There was a tradition among the hunt CTS that some one had hung up reward of $1,OOO for the skin of a white buffalo. There were white buffaIos-albinos,
 such as are found at rare intervals in all the families in the animal kingdom but the number of those which exist ed in fact and those which existed pure ly in the imagination was in wonderful
 disproportion. Every buffalo hunter could tell stories oe having seen and pursued white buffalo. Many a hunter has been sent otn a wild goose chase by false reports of this character. In 1873, for instance. old Ben Garfield, who roamed the plains with his tall, gaunt wife for a companion, followed bunch of buffalo from the northern edge of what is now Oklahoma to the sand hills

one of the very greatest trotters of his time, was his next great performer, and since his day there never has been a year in which the family of Red Wilkes has not been prominent on the Grand Circuit tracks. His list of stand ard performers now reaches over 15O, and he has scores of sons and daughters in the producing list. When the breed ing farm of the late W. c. France was dispersed. Red Wilkes passed to the famous Cloverdell farm, near Philadel- phia, and when financial trouble result ed in his again being placed on the market. he was bought by the Glen Moor sarm. Glen Moor, N. A couple of years ago he was bought by the late N. c. Sayles, owner of the Mariposa farm, Woonsocket, R. l., and it was because of the death of MT. Sayles that he again was placed on the market. A large number of the choicely bred mares of Mariposa form were bred to him last season. and the fact that nearly all of them are safely in foal probably was re- sponsible for the good price he brought. His new owners. Powell Bros. of Shade land. Pa. have for many years been breeding trotters, and they have large collection Of well bred mares, from which one crop of foals by Red Wilkes will repay them many times what he cost them

CANADIAN HnRsEs

In Canada. where the trotter has al- ways had to take second place to the runner, the harness horse is rapidly growing in favor, and some of the best bred trotting and pacing stallions bred in the United States have found honors over there during the last few years. A year ago. when the annual Of trot- ters and pacers occurred in New York, the fastest stallion sold went to Can- atian buyer, that one being the pacing stallion Hal B., 2:o41s, by Hal Dillard During this winters sale another Can- adian breeder bought the famous trot- ter and sire. Ore Dilkes, 2:11, by Sable Wilkes. dam by Director. This hand some black horse is probably the great est sire ever taken to Canada, although several other neritorious sires were taken there before having made a repu- tation in the stud. Ore Wilkes has sired a lot of good race horses. including the great three-year-old Ally, Mary Gage, that broke a record of 2:16ts this season, and Navidad, 2:11A, another season, winner out this year, and he will be a valuable addition to Canada's trotting horse breeding interests.

PETER THE GREAT GOES TO KEN
 TUCKY.

Kentucky has made another draft on the north for sire. Peter the Great, 2:07A, being the last northern bred stall lion to find a home at one of the big breeding establishments in the Blue Grass state. Peter the Great has none oe the blood of either of the two most fashionable families--the Wilkes or the Electioneer. He was sired by Pilot Medium, the crippled, but wonderful son of Happy Medium and his dam was by Grand Sentinel. son of Sentinel, the own brother of Volunteer. In his new home, Patchen Wilkes farm, however, there are plenty of Wilkes mares, and his opportunities in the stud will be excel lent. He. himself, was a good race horse. and his blood lines have been made more fashionable during the last season by Lou Dillon, 1:5S1a, whose ped igree has both Happy Medium and Vol unteer blod in it, but it is hardly likely that he would have been bought to head @ great Kentucky trotting nur- sery had it not been for the fact that his daughter, Sadie Mac, 2:111s, showed herself to be one of the greatest three year-old trotters ever seen.

he may choose to adopt without regard to the wishes Of the state. It is ruled that the state can prescribe the condi- tions upon which it will permit public work to be performed. The policy of such legislation may be challenged, but with this consideration the courts have no concern. The responsibility for the effects and tendencies Of such legisla- tion lies wholly with the lawmaking power. Legislative enactments must be enforced by the courts unless they are plainly and culpably beyond all ques- ton in violation of the fundamental law of the constitution"
 The query at once arises whether the legislature can regulate the length Of the working day in private work. This issue did not arise in the Kansas case. Justice Harlan remarked that it IS question of large import" but de- clined to consider it. The federal su- preme court has, however, sustained the Utah law fixing an eight-hour day for miners employed underground.- delphia Public Ledger.

EIGHT HOUR DAY IN PUBLIC
 WORK

The decision of the federal supreme court in sustaining the Kansas statute enacted in 1891. providing that eight hours shall constitute a days work for persons employed by the state, and imposing a penalty on contractors for public work who exact more than eight hours labor in day from employees, finally settles 8 question of constitu- tional law which has been decided diff ferently by the New York court of ap- peals. Governor Bates of Massachu- setts recently vetoed bill by the last legislature containing essentially the same provision as the Kansas enact- ment, on the ground that it violates the state constitution and the four teenth amendment of the federal consti- tuition prohibiting any state from deny- ing to any person within it's jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws and de- priving him of his property without due process of law.
 The Kansas measure was attacked on this ground. The federal supreme court holds that it is not part of of the liberty of any contractor that he be allowed to do public work in any way

HERBERT SPENCER IN AMERICA.

HERBERT SPENCER IN AMERICA.
 This interviewer's attempts were dis agreeable: persistence in proffered hos pitality on the part of new acquaint- anees was annoying: but what drove him nearly Frantic was the desire of people, ill some places manifested, to look at him as they would look at a fine animal at the agricultural fair. The continuation Of this outrage was reach ed, regret to say, in my native state at Burlington. Vt., the home of Minis ter Phelps and Senator. Edmunds. His arrival having been announced in the daily paper, quite a number of people called to pay their respects, and a little demonstration in his honor was threat ened. MT. Spencer. however, tired and ill, had gone to his room, leaving orders that he could see no one and must not be disturbed. The people would not be appeased. and to his great horror a party of them went to his door, knocked and when it was opened, told him that they had come to see him and see him they would. His travelling companion demonstrated, but they were many and Mir. Spencer had no gun. They took their look and departed, but of conver- sation they had none. You may force a horse to the water. but you cannot make him drink. ss..
 No wonder that, after this, MT. Spen- cer came to entertain a fear respecting the perInanency Of our institutions, and to remark concerning our people: The American has not, think, a sufficiently .cuiclr sense of his own claims, and, at the same time. as necessary conse- quence, not a sufficiently quick sense of the claims of others-for the two traits are organieally related. I observe that you tolerate various small interferences and dictations wwhich Englishnlen are prone to resist. I am told that the Eng fish are remarked on for their tendency to grumble in such cases; and have no doubt it is true."a ..... .......= Do you think 1t worth whiie.' asks the interviewer, for people to make
 themselves disagreeable by resenting every trifling aggression? We Ameri- cans think it involves too much loss of time and temper, and doesn't pay.'
 Exactly" replies MT. Spencer; that | is what I mean by character. It is this Ieasy-going readiness to permit small trespasses, because it would be trouble some or profitiess, or unpopular to re- sist. which leads to the habit of acqui- essence in wrong and the decay of free institutions.

IMERINO.

The showing made by the central New York stallion, Imerino, 2:2O, in the classes for trotting stallions during the recent national horse show at Madison Square Garden was very pleasing to the many breeders throughout the state who own colts and Allies by that llorse Imerino was sired by Allerton, 2:O91s out of Cyprus, 2:22A, the greatest pro- ducing the daughter Of Strathmore; horsemen who saw him in the garden ring conceded that he was about the finest individual specimen of trotting stallion seen in that ring since the days when Manbrino King, King Rene and Don Corsack battled for the blue rib- bon. If the trotting horse breeders throughout the country could be induc- ed to take their oldtime interest in show ring contests. lot of stallions could now be shown that would gain a lot of new friends for the rtotting bred horse

os Nebraska. thinking to kill a big white bull. After three weeks of patient stalking Canfield did kill the bull. only to find that he was covered with coat Of Whitewash. which gave him the ap- pearance of being white in fact.
 An explanation of this phenomenon would not be needed by people familiar with the natural lime beds Of western Kansas. The habit of the buffalo is to roll in every pool of water or hole of mud which he comes to. The well known buffalo waIlow'' still to be seen over the great plains. was the product of this habit. Canheld's buffalo had sim- ply been rolling in a bed of the native lime, which coated his hide when dried in thes un, with a kind of plaster. And no doubt these lime holes could account for many of the while buffalo so often reported by hunters. Kansas City Jour- nal.

RED WILKES CHANGES OWNERS
 AGAIN

A record was probably established last
 week when Red Wilkes was sold under the hammer for $770. This famous son of George Wilkes will be thirty years old next spring, an age at which most stallions have long since passed the stage of usefulness. No other Iivinng stallion has taken such a prominent part in building up the trotting breed oe horses as has Red Wilkes. He was bred in Kentucky, and as a sire he first came into favor when his son, Phil Thompson, trotted to the then world s record of PISA. Prince Wilkes, 2:14%,

DOUBLE TEAM RECORD.

It is a singular fact that The Monk, 2:051S, and Equity. 2:12M, the trotters that paced the trotting record for double teams in 2:0S the other day, were both discarded from Village Farm racing stables because they were supposed to be not sound enough to make them of value as race horses. Just now both geldings are in the finest form. Equity can doubtless trot a mile in 2:07 in sin gle harness and Ed Geers recently as- serted that if MT. Billings would give The Monk chance to go a mile to sulky for a record he would trot in 2:04 or better.

A COMING WnNDER.

Ed Geers expects to duplicate his great campaign of 1898 with Billy Buck, 2:07k. next season with one of a pair of green trotters he is now drilling at Memphis. One of these is a gelding called Alexander, sired by a horse en- tirely unknown to fame, but out of a mare by George Wilkes. This gelding's S history is much the same as was that Of Billy Buck up to the time he came into Geers' possession. Geers has driy- en him a mile in 2:10 and half in 1:03,
 which is quite bit. faster than Billy Buck had trotted year ago. The other green one the former Village Farm trainer is working on is a gelding by Sidney Dillon, the sire of Lou Dillon. He was never trained a particle until a little over a year ago, when Willard Sanders took him in hand and before shipping him east tlast spring to be sold he drove him a mile in 2:15A. A Detroit man bought him and kept him in moderate training during the last season and in the fall the horse trotted a mile in 2:11, after which his owner made arrangements with Geers to take him to prepare for next seasons cam paign. Milard Sanders has asserted that this horse would have trotted in 2:05 this season had he been campaign ed by good man and that he is not far out of the way in his reasoning is shown by the fact that the gelding re- gently trotted half in 1:01ss. With two such fast green trotters in his stables MT. Geers can well afford to think he will be able to pull down some of next seasons big early closing events for green trotters.

been said that fashion follows speed, and in Peter the Greats case, this seems to have been borne out. His own great speed and his demonstrated abili- ty to transmit it to his progeny have caused his lack of ultra-fashionable in- heritance to be overlooked and have se- cured sor him a place in the stud at one of the greatest breeding establish ments in the country.
 A YOUNG STALLION OF PROMISE.
 The veteran horseman Monroe Sails bury will leave New York for California in few days with two carloads of trot- ters and pacers, most of which are owned by James Butler, owner of East View sarm, the home of Direct, 2:O51a, which horse is the sire Of the greater part of the horses in the establishment. Mir. Salisbury will fit these horses for next seasons Grand Circuit campaign during the winter. For trainer he has engaged Charles deRyder, who this sea- son trained the Patchen Wilkes farm horses. Mir. Salisbury's stable made an excellent campaign this year and last hcSh IHG 4dSlSSL bLOANSA HI NAAS SNA@'eSS Monte Carlo, 2:0714, was sold to Bray ton Ives. the New York banker. for $20,000. The horse was bought last spring by Messrs. Salisbury and Butler, for, a price that must have made the in- vestment most profitable one. Since he has been in California he has told his friends that he expects his stallion Kinney Lou, 2:07sl, to race to a record os 2:04 or better before next fall. The son of Mckinney was one Of the big money winners of the year, in spite of the fact that he was sick for three or Sour weeks during the latter part of the season. Doble says he has driven Kinney Lou quarter faster than he ever rode the same distance behind any other trotter. and as Doble drove Nancy Hanks quarters in 291S seconds the stallion must have shown his trainer phenomenal speed. Before coming east Kinney Lou will make a short stud sea- son in California and some of the choic- est matrons in that state will be mated with him. .14.. ....... .

THE PERPLExTTTEs OF A PRO-
 PHET,

Apparently "Elijah'' Dowie now has something on his mind besides. the shortcomings Of New York clergymen and reporters. Just now it seems to be New York creditors, and some others. The New York invasion was a disas- trous failure, and Dowie frankly admits it. The splurge cost the Zion treasury something like 5$2s0, 900, and the net re- suit was to bring the prophet and his mission into such disrepute that even some of the Zionists seem to have had their eyes opened to their folly, for it is now announced that for the first time in the history of the experiment de- poSitors in the Zion bank must give the legal notice before withdrawing their accounts.
 This can only mean that certain of the faithful are harboring quite serious, if sacrilegious, doubts as to the banks and DoWie's ability to make good" This distrust must arise in. part from the admitted failure in New York and in part from the report that Dowie is to make a pilgrimage to Australia, whither his wife has already preceded him. It is we'll understood in Zion that when this Elijah takes such a journey he does not leave it to ravens and sea- gulls to determine how he shall be fed or wherewithal he shall be clothed.
 But the deficiency due to the New York venture must be made up and certain travelling expenses provided for. And Dowie knows how to do it.. He has ordered all Zionists outside that city's limits to sell their property and move into town, and has served notice on the faithful everywhere to step up to the captains office and set tie, Will the response be as general as heretofore? Is the bank notice incident to be taken to mean that the confi- der1ce of considerable portion of his followers has been shaken? Is there, after all, limit to human credulity?-- Cleveland Plain Dealer.

BLACK HAL.

The pacer Black Hal, by Star Hal, 206N. will be in w. L. Snow's stable next season. This pacer started out green last spring on the half-mi1e tracks and won nearly every one of his races. taking a record of 2:15A. He is said to be very high class pacer, and Mr. Snow will name him in a lot of the early closing purses. Snow will also campaign Star Hal, 2:O6h, again next season and expects him to be a good winner in his class. which means that he is regarded as goon enough to pace in 2:0S or better.
