! New York, Sept. 24.-The sensation Of
the season In harness horse circles, aside
from Lou Dillon's two-minute mile, was
Prince Alert's feat yesterday in reducing
the mark for PAGERS to 1857 on the Empire
City track.
Prince Alert had not been seriously re-
garded as candidate for championship
honors, for, altho his previous mark was
! very close to Dan Patch's record, it was
thought that he had practically reached
MS limit. is an axiom among horse
men rhat the closer q horse gets
to the record, the more difficult becomes
the task Of clipping off each fraction Of
| second. When Prince Alert recently re-
duced the worlds half mile track record
Of 2:04, held by Dan Patch, to 2:037z. it
was conceded that he had a. chance, tho
not big chance, Of getting below the
two minute mark
The time of 1:57, therefore, came like
lightning out Of clear sky.
The weather and track were perfect and
the wind, which was high early in the
day, subs1ded so that all conditions were
favorable
Mart Demarest trainer and driver Of
Prince Alert on account Of overweight,
decided to let John Currie drive, while

An exchange admonishes woman to

He is dead; yet will his work live
after him. Several hundred years
ago some individual whose name Fate
has since frowned upon invented
basque pattern. To this very day in
the rural districts, may be seen its
likeness on feminine busts. What
manner of forgetfulness, then, snail
cause our minds to wander from the
man who originated the complete
tissue pattern in the latest style for
10 cents?" Between the two patterns
there is a social chasm as bottomless
as a Dante could conceive, and yet
the parallel of constancy to each may
be appropriately drawn. The tissue
pattern develops furbe!ows and
founces wonderful even to the cos

OF all the eccentric weddings the
following is about the limit. Elek
Bijda is a Hungarian who had turned
burglar. Miss Rosie Schwartz is
German who had turned boarding
house keeper. One night when Miss
Rosie went to her room for the night
she found Elek under the bed. Inn
mediately there was a hubbub, board
ers scurried about, policemen came,
and the unfortunate burglar was ar
rested. The next morning in police
court Miss Rosie looked at the burglar
two or three times and found that he
was handsome. She knew that he
was bold or he would not have invad-
ed her home. She also knew that he
was dashing. He had proved that when
he tried to get away after the alasm
had been raised So. instead of prose
cutting him, she decided to marry him.
There is a scarcity of detail to show
just how this change in sentiment
came about, but the marriage license
proves that it did When the prose
cutting attorney suggested that he
ought to send out for rice, the magls-
trate thought that there was no need
for this, but he did his part by having
one of the policemen who arrested
the burglar act as his best man at the
ceremony.

pleted Journey of 500 miles to marry
a man she never had seen before. She
had never been 20 miles from home
before she undertook this trip and she
was fifty years old at the time, at that.
Malinda lived down in Indiana and
she became lonesome for some one.
At the age of fifty she began to think
she had lived alone long enough. In
order to temp Cupid. some time ago
she put a nicely worded notice in
matrimonial paper. 1t pays to adver-

heart was j. r. Wampler, prosperous
farmer living near Big Rapids, Mich.
An exchange of loving letters soon
eliminated in an engagement. II was
not convenient for him to come to
her. so it was arranged for Miss Ma
linda to go to Michigan. and after they
had seen each other, If both parties
were pleased, marriage should follow.

she wrote her friends here that on
Friday she and Mr. Wampler were
married, and had gone to housekeep

Malinda had never been fifty miles

New Idea In Physiology.

It is possible that the school child
may be quite as readily fatigued by
inspiring the waste products of his fel.
lows as by his own, and that the bust
ness man is more liable than the agri-
cultural laborer to become run down,
not so much because he works harder
or more monotonously and therefore
personally manufactures more waste
products, but because his tissues are
more liable to become saturated with
the waste products of himself and 9th

phere in which he works. Excessive

VITALITY OF BURNS FAME.

1t is One of the Great Facts of Our
Literature.
THE inquest" on Robert Burns was
concluded long ago, but from time &c
time'the findings are reviewed by crit
ical writer's, as in a recent symposium,
says Golfers. A curious result thus
chances. From every such inquisition
the poet energies the more radiant and
triumphal-the critics are lost in tina
splendor they have evoked. II is ono
thing to make literature; it is another
and quite different thing to write abou;
literature and the makers thereof. This
is truism. and yet the distinction is
often confused, especially by the writ
ers of criticism. Burns has survived
several generations of critics, many
of whom made a vain bid for remem
brance by their praise or dispraise Of
him. The vitality of his fame is one
of the great facts of our literature
