HE WINS IN A WALK
Col. H. V. Horton, Racing Promoter,
Makes a Clean GETAWAY in the
Early Hours OF Morning.
BOARDS TRAIN AT DAVENPORT
Number of Creditors in the City to
Whom He Forgets to Pay
Farewell Call.

Col. H. V. Horton, father of the Rock
Island Jockey club. did not have his
rolled oats in Rock Island this morn
ing.
The colonel, who was a guest at the
Harper house, called cab AT o'clock
this morning, and with his wife and
little daughter. and their baggage, was
driven to the Rock Island depot on
the other side of the river. There are
two trains that pass within a half
hour of each other. one in each direc-
ton, but which one the colonel and
his family boarded has not been
learned.
Leaves Some Rcmcmb runccS.
There are a number of persons in
the city to whom the colonel is obligat
ed financially. At the Harper house
there is an unpaid board bill of $23.
The colonel's credit was excellent all
over the city. He appeared to have
an abundance of the soft, and settled
forthwith in most instances when he
made the contracts personally.
The running meeting at the Ninth
street track was to have continued nine
days. There had been three days of
racing. Yesterday afternoon there
were 1900 people at the track, but
they were not treated right by the man
agement. and they manifested their
displeasure in no uncertain tones. The
action of the spectators undoubtedly
| had much TO do with determining the
colonel that it would be more profit
| able to him to shorten the meeting.
One of the men who had 4 horse en-
| tered yesterday charged that the dc
/ lay was caused purpOsely to prevent
| the running of the last scheduled
event, Horton saving himself about
| $3.50 by the operation.
Horses shipped Last Night.
\ number of the horses were ship
| ped from the ely last night. some OF
the owners seemingly having an ad,
vance tip that there was not to be
any more racing. About a dozen
horses remained at the track today.
Harry Kelly, secretary to Col. Hor
ton, could not be located today, either
and the impression among the horse
man was that he had gone with the
colonel Horton represented himself
here as the president of the Southern
Interstate Racing circuit He said
his home was in the national capital.

LEAVES A BARBER CHAIR
TO PERFORM MARRIAGE
Rev. T w. Grafton Leaves Stream of
Lather in His Wake-Just to Ac-
commodate Couple of Lovers.

Rev. T. W. Grafton, formerly pastor
of Christian Memorial chruch in this
city, now is located at Anderson, Ind.
He has charge of the Anderson Chris
tan church, and, aside from endearing
himself to the members of the congre-
cation, has built up wide reputation
for the encouraging manner in which
he handles the youthful seekers after
the marriage rite.
All embarrassment disappears when
the couple appear in the presence of
Rev. Grafton. He never fails to make
the young folk, or old ones, for that
matter, feel perfectly at home, once
they come before him. This blushing
and stumbling business is one of the
chief obstacles that the young couple
have to contend with. Consequently
they come from all the towns sur
rounding Anderson and hunt up Rev
Grafton. The other day he dropped
into a barber shop in his home city
70 get a shave Charles Julian and
Miss Lennie Bratton, from Elmwood
were across the street in the court
house having a license tC marry writ
ten out for them by the county clerk
Julian asked the clerk where Rev
Grafton lived. The clerk had just seen
the minister walk in the barber shop
So he went to the telephone and TOLD
the barber that the minister was want
ed at his office without delay
Mr.. Grafton supposed something
more important than marriage wa:
on tap. and he waved aside the soaI
frosting from his face, and paddleC
across the street, leaving a stream o
lather, and buttOning his collar while
on the run. A crowd gathered, think
ing that the minister was chasing A.;
thief. The clerk informed Mr.. ORATOR
that a pair of his friends from the
country were waiting for him at tn,
parsonage. The barber was asked t.
save the shave. and another coupl,
was made happy.

BIG CROWD AT THE PICNIC
Boats and Street Cars Combined
Can't Handle the Labor Business.

1t was long after midnight before
the last Labor day picnickers was
carried away from Grand Isle. The
boats and street cars combined could
not handle the crowd, which probably
was the largest that has ever gather
ed on the island.
The Davenport & Suburban cars
were run as far as the dam. where the
passengers left on the ties for the isl
and. 1t was the intention of the com
pany to run the cars to the island
itself, but the failure of special work
and help to arrive rendered the effort
futile.
Arriving at the island those in search
of a pleasant manner of spending the
afternoon were met with various kinds
of amusement provided by the commit
tee having the affair in charge. Dane
ing was much in evidence.
Over on the diamond two teams
made up of miscellaneous stars
wandered through three d-eary in
nings, but as the score was known
to no one, not even the players them
selves, it could not be ascertained.
a 100-yard dash was run off during
Rufus King. Harry AIdrich. Thomas
Wynn. and c. J. Wright of Moline;
Ben FIegle and c. Wagner. of Dav-
export. The event was won by c. J.
Wright. OF Moline. with Aldrich, also
of Moline. second. They were award
ed prizes of So and 50 respectively.
The promoters of the celebration
are congratulating themselves at the
order maintained during the afternoon.
Said a prominent member of the com
mittee:
They told US that we could't have
the celebration without AT least half
a dozen fights, but we showed them
that we could"
From ten to twelve stalwart police
men were on duty and every one Of a
quarrelsOme disposition was promptly
suppressed. a young woman started 2
rough house during the afternoon. and
threw beer glass at a young man,
which he was successful in lodging.

A Day With Judge Parker.

1t seems a small thing to write about
a mans private habits, yet they throw
some light upon his character, and, in
the case of this farmer chief judge
who has shrunk so long from public
notice, description of his ordinary
day is suggestive of his type. Nothing
in the life of a candidate for president
is unimportant
He rises usually at half past 6
o'clock in the morning, takes his cold
plunge, shaveS and dresses himself in
thirty minutes. His riding dress is
brown corduroy jacket and breeches,
cloth cap and leather leggings. After
taking Il cup of coffee without sugar
he is ready for his ride.
Then he mounts his big bay saddle
horse and rides at Il hard trot for an
hour over the country roads. The
whole region is full of historical in
terest, and the judge knows every
house and story. Now and then an
early rising farmer sees him riding at
full gallOp, talking to his horse and
sometimes throwing up his arms in
sheer excess of animal spirits.
After his daily ride. which he takes,
whether in Albany or at Esopus, re-
gardless of the season. lie dresses for
business and eats a hearty breakfast,
usually of fruit, oatmeal porridge, beef
steak or sausageS or bacon and eggs,
with buckwheat cakes, maple sirup,
hot corn bread and two cups of coffee.
When breakfast is over he goes to
court for consultation, if he is in Al
bany, or works on his opinions, if he is

for an honorable ahd wise way to save
the institution and its dcpositors. He
got Il number of tic old trustees to
assist him.
His scheme was a new one in New
York state The idea was TO ask the
equity court to substitute in place Of
the temporary receiver twenty-five
prominent citizens to act as trustees.
The judge worked day and night urg-
ing the strongest men in the county
to his aid in saving the bank. He
got presidents and cashiers of banks
and other business men enlisted. Ev-
erything else was thrown aside until
the twenty-five trustees were secured.
Fortunately for the institution,
Charles VI. Preston, the state supeTin-
tendent of banking, who lived at
Kingston, gave Judge Parker's bold
plan his official support. The legal
battle was before Justice Fursman in
the special term Of the supreme court
at Troy 1t resulted in a decree sub
stituting the twenty-five trustees for
the temporary receiver and scaling
down the amount due to each deposltor
to his pro rata share of the assets. The
court also enjoined the depositors from
drawing out more than % per cent of
their deposits till further judicial or
doris wore made

urerS desk, WIN nushn% eyes he faced
fiinging Il roll of money down. he cried:
Come on! We are ready TO pay
Come on! DO you think we would
waste our time on Il broken bank"
Instantly the panic ceased. Judge
Parker had saved the day. The depOs-
itors departed, and only II per cent OF
them drew out their money. That
saved the Ulster County Savings insti-
tuition, which has since worked out OF
it's difficulties.
The general term of the supreme
court and the court of appeals both
sound in law. The judge never rested
till the thieying treasurer and assistant
treasurer were sent to the state prison,
where they both died.
After awhile Judge Parker was ask
ed TO become president of the bank.
He declared that he would only accept
the position on condition that the sal
airy should be abolished. This was
agreed TO, and lie was elected presi-
dent. He did not retire until the de-
posts of the bank were several hun
dred thousand dollars greater than
they were before it's doors were closed.
The rescue of this savings bank and
its depositors is the achievement Of
which Judge Parker is proudest. Ii is
the most stirring incident OF his pri-
vate life.
