Chicago, Feb. 24.-Clarence S. OAR
row has refused to run for mayor OF
Chicago. He so informed delegation
of trade unionists at late hour last
evening. The announcement came as a
surprise to politicians, all of whom for
some days had been calculating on his

Were:
'.That Mr.. Mitchell Mr.. Gompers and
other national labor leaders had advised
against it.
for mayor in Chicago representing
organized labor.
ssThat he felt he could better advance
the cause of Immediate municipal own
ership as a member of the legislature

"That he did not wish to use the
work he had done for the miner in

litical advancement for himself.
'That If he were elected mayor he
could not, as an honest official, under
existing laws fulfill the expectations OF

lLL.BRED CHILDREN.
Miss Floretta vinins Complains Of the
Children Of the Rich.

Miss Floretta Vinins Complains of the
Children Of the Rich.
Boston, Mass, Feb. 24.-Miss Floretta
Vining, a well-known club woman and
general censor of morals, has started a
new crusade. Her last theme was thas
of the evil of intemperance among wom-
en-, and that went the country over.
Now she complains of the ill-breeding
and poor manners of the children of the
rich and well-to-do, and her caustic
criticism based upon visits to the first
families of this and other states, will
be read by them with becoming humili-
ty.
According to Miss Vining. the modern
child is a mighty poor specimen. She
hurls imprecations against the coming
race, calling them I'll bred and with
out manners. She wants change made
in the present method of dealing with
children and wants thrashing handed
out literally.
children are ruined in these days by
kindness, thinks Miss Vining, and soft
ened by the lack of good whipping oc-
casionally. The vice of extravagance
among chilrhen also is growing, and
also the fault of avarice, which impels
the children constantly to tease their
parents for money.
The mothers come in for criticism
from Miss Vining, and she bewails the
fact that the mothers leave the care and
teaching of children to servant girls,
with the result that the children ac-
quire shockingly ill-bred manners.

600, Taken by Detectives.
Chicago. Feb. 24.-Seven of the besi
race horses of L. j. Arnold & Co.'s sta
bic, valued at $4,000, were seized in
Chicago yesterday by detectives who
followed them thru the streets on the
run and arrived at the Chicago & Alton
depot just as they were being loaded in
to an express car. The horses were ta-
ken to Wright's livery, 145 Michigan
avenue, where they will be held by Al
derman Milton j. Foreman, received for
the Arnold company in Illinois.
The men in charge of the string made
every effort to evade Receiver Foreman.
The animals arrived in Chicago over
the Northwestern railroad Sunday eve
ming, coming direct from Ingleside track
! in California.
Tom Kiley, trainer for Arnold, the
turfman, was in charge of the horses.
The animals were blanketed and their
heads covered with hoods to disguise
them from any one who might recog-
nze them as having been at the Chi
cago race tracks last summer. AS an
additional disguise false tails, reaching
almost to the ground, were fastened to
the under sides of the blankets.
Kiley went to Wright's livery. but
was unable to secure accommodations
for the seven horses. Wright housed
three of them there, and four We're ta-
ken to Winship & Prices livery stable,

name, and remarked:
Those are clean looking horses.
Probably fast ones, too.
"Oh, those are dray horses" Kiley re-
piled.
An hour later a man who gave his
name as William Cummings appeared
at the stable and said he was the owner
of the horses quartered there by kiley.
The hostler again remarked about there
being fine looking animals, and sug-
gested that they must be running hors-
eS.
mo, you are wrong" Cummings said.
"They are trotting horses. A batch of
skates, at that"
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon an
order was given the rubbers in charge
of the race horses to leave the stables,
the blankets and hoods we're again
placed on them, and they were hurried
south in Michigan avenue, no word OF
their destination being left with the liv-
erymen.
Ten minutes after the horses were
taken away United States deputy
marshal, accompanied by fifteen detec-
tives from the Mooney & Boland agen-
cy, appeared. They were told of the
route taken by the men and horses, ana
a systematic search for the seven AMI
mails was undertaken.
Several of the detectives went with
all possible speed to the union depot eX-
press sheds, and there they found the
horses just entering an express car.
The deputy marshal was summoned,
and he took charge of the horses and
returned them to Wright's livery.
When the horses were unblanketed
they were identified as Mary McCaffer-
ty, Bessie Mccarthy, Ethlene, Irene
Lindsay, Felix Bard, Wolfram and Will
Shelly. Several of these animals were
the most speedy appearing at the local
tracks last season. The seven are esti-
mated to be worth $4,000.
