State Fair Speed Events.

The Missouri Grand Circuit, offeri, 9
$50, 900 on speed events, is the largest
lacipg circuit in the world, except the
Eastern Grand Circuit. 1t will furnish
twelve weeks Of continuous racing
over the best tracks west of the Mis-
sissippi river, and with members that
have earned a reputation for fair
treatment and prompt payment of
premiums. These favorable condi-
lions, together with the liberal purses
offered, will encourage patronage from
the best horse men and secure entries
of the speediest turf performers.
The Missouri State Fair is a men,
Der of this circuit, and with her excel
lent mile track, modern barns, each
supplied with water, and other coa-
%veniences, should give the best race
meeting ever held in Missouri. No
bookmaking or poolselling will be per-
mitted on the State Fair grounds.
Racing events are clean contests of
speed and endurance. The State Fair
management opens these purses with a
view of improving the great American
road horse, and for the entertainment
of visitors. but under rules enforced
by an efficient police, prohibits all dis
c~reditable features.
The high character Of turf per-
formers entered with the Stae Fair,
aud the splendid track, assures the
breaking of track records, unsurpassed
entertainment for visitors, and a week
of royal sport for the admlrer of the
horse, and those who enjoy speed
contests.

interesting. The Republican policy OF

ton But, by sly references to our
opportunities in the Orient and 10 the
convenience of the islands as a depar'
ture point for our Chinese diplomacy,

Auguste, Paul and Armand Sabatier.

The identity of the author Of IRE
ligions of Authority. " Auguste Sabatier
has caused quite as much discussion
among people interested in theology as
the doctrines advanced in the book
itself. This arises from the fact that
there are three Sabatlers prominent in
the religious life of France today.
Auguste Sabatier, the author of the
present work, was, at the time Of his
death, three years ago, dean of the
Protestant Faculty Of Theology IN the
University OF Paris. A second SabatleT,
Paul Sabatier, Is the author of a
church history and the we~ll-known
book on st. Francis of Assist. A third
Sabatier is Armand, who Is the dean
of the scientific school in The Univer-
slty of Montpelier. The three are no
relation whatever 10 each other.

MESSENGER BOYS SUICIDE.
Took Carbolic Acid in Presence of
 Thousands.

New York, April 1.-Two tragedies. which occurred within half an hour of each other at Broadway and Thrty-fourth Streets, caused much excitement among persons viewing the scenes on the most frequented corner of New York.
 On the sidewalk before the abandoned Broadway Tabernacle youth was mo- ticeu pacing back and forth weeping Gu rious crowds stopped to gaze at the young man. Nho, however, spoxe to none For nearly half an hour he walked in front Of the old church, and then. In plain view of hundreds. suddenly drew vial o5 carbolic acid from his pocket. drank the contents and fell in convulsions. He was carried into a drug store but could not be saved He was identified as a mes senger who had been thrown out of work and apparently had eaten nothing in two days.

THE IRON MARKET.
Little Promise of Resumption of Ac-
 tivifv in Pig

tivity in Pig.
 Cleveland, O., April 7.-The Iron Trade Review. discussing market conditions in its current issue, says:
 The uncertainty concerning the exact outcome of the present negotiations be- tween producers of Lake Superior Is car ried over to next week, the New York meeting having been postponed to April F. The developments of the past month have not been such as to promise any change in the attitude of the merchant ore firms, and in this connection 1t is in- timated by large producing and consum- ing interests that if there Is no associa- ton this year none need be expected in following years. Meantime, further long time ore contracts are negotiating, which will make the market price of Lake Su- perior ore from year to year less of a factur in the iron industry than ever.
 Pig iron is firm at the moment but with little promise of an early resumption of the active buying of March. h Bessemer purchase of 10000 tons by the Steel Cor. poration at $13S5 delivered at Cleveland and Lorraine Is the feature. This trans action, in connection with the heavy out put of all corporation steel works, is thought to point to the taking of the 45.- GOO tons of iron for May delivery. covered by the corporation's option expiring April IV oteeI-naklnS DIE iron as I0unury Iron is still being consumed in excess of cur rent make.

 Washington, April "A communication from Secretary Hay, forwarded to the House today calls attention to the fact that the United States Minister to Hayti also is accredited as Charge d'Affaires to 6anto Domingo. Tt Is the Presidents opinion" said Secretary Hay that it is not for the good of the public service that these two offices should be longer combined. but that 1t Is of great import ancs that they should be separated and an Independent officer accredited to each country"
 The Secretary adds that the commercial and property interests of United States citizens In Haytl and Santo Domingo are large and important and 1t is impossible. he says fin the turbulent conditions that almost constantly exist in the one or other country. and often in both at the same time, for one officer to give these interests that protection which 1t is the duty of this government to afford"
 It Is accordingly recommended that 7- 800 be appropriated for the Minister to Hayti and 5000 for minister resident and consul general to Santo Domingo.
