VARIETIES OF MULES.
The Classification Depends Upon the
Work They Are to Do.

The Classification Depends Upon the
Work They Are to Do.
"The classification of Missouri's
great product, the mule, is the hardest
Of all live stock" said dealer to
Kansas City Star reporter.
ITO most people the animal is sim
ply mule, with a strong inclination to
emphasize his presence with a kick.
To most buyers he is good or bad, large
or small, smooth or rough, will prob
ably bring certain price on the mar
ket or will not be wanted at all.
Among dealers who supply the differ
ent demands he is classified according
to weight, bone, size, color, age, mouth,
teeth, broken or unbroken, length and
breadth and also in regard to the To-
cality of the buyer. In the first place,
green, unbroken mules are never want
ed. Once in awhile we receive few
and generally have to sell them at a
sacrifice The principal classes Of
mules known to the market are cotton
mules, lumber mules, railroad mules,
sugar mules, farm mules, levee mules,
city mules and miners. Miners are
classed as surface and pit mules.
Cotton mules are the commonest
kind in regard to number. Their build
makes little difference so long as they
are smooth. Lumber mules are the
largest, heavy boned, rugged grades,
1873 to 1852 hands or better. They are
used in the big lumber camps for log
ging and must have the weight for
good heavy pulling. Similar to the
lumber mule is the railroader. He
is used in grading, hauling and all
the work that is known in the construc-
ton of railroads. Sugar mules be-
long to the fancy class. They must be
smooth, built rangy, small head and
neck, small bones. Farm mules vary
in size, but are formed from the reject
ed ones of the foregoing classes.
"Levee mules, as the word implies,
are used near steamboats, and docks
for the heavy work. They are general
ly single workers and must be of the
rugged class. Their looks matter little
SO long as they are sound and fit for
hard work. A city mule includes the
small, light grade, such as you see on
delivery and transfer wagons. The
high prices in the last year have re-
1uced the number greatly.
'9rhe miners are the hardest class to
supply. They must be either a dark
bay or black in color. White and sor-
rel mules are never used. Where the
mines have long shafts, in the Penn
sylvania coal regions especially, they
say white mule resembles a ghost
and frightens the other mules beyond
control. The pitters must be long in
body, heavy boned and have good
weight
'sThe government buys all classes of
mules. but that is done according to
contract and prices hold wide range.
1t never buys low priced animal, and
1t is rigid in its examinations"

The Davidson Divorce Suit.

Mrs. Eliza c. Davidson, wife of former
Mayor Robert c. Davidson, of Baltimore,
whom she has sued for absolute divorce,
the bill naming Gertrude Schmidt as CO.
respondent, states that Gertrude Schmidt
is unknown to her.
s'The intimation has been made" said
Mrs. DAVIDSON, sthat have consented to
the use OF the name of Gertrude Schmidt
to shield Laura B. Noyes under the
promise of large alimony. I neither
wish nor intend to shield such woman.
Laura B. Noyes, formerly of Port De-
post, Md, and now of Black Hall. Conn,
is the correspondent, she being the woman
that Mr.. Davidson left Baltimore with
last May. They went to Montreal, and
from there to Val NORM, Canada, fifty
eight miles beyond, and boarded with E.
H. Durham. Mr.: Davidson himself told
me that he was not in Europe at all dur
ing the summer.
~ am well aware of the plan to substi-
tute the name of Gertrude Schmidt to
save Laura B. Noyes, and l am not going
to submit to it. Her name should be in
the bill as correspondent.
s'Mr. Davidson has contributed nothing
to my support since May 8. save one
check of SI37.5o The divorce proceed
ings appear to have caused surprise. in
view of my former announcement that 1
would not sue, but this second desertion
decided ME to take this step. I under
stand that Mr.. Davidson is now in New
York and has been seen frequently with
Laura Noyes."

WEDNESDAY, JUNE If, 1905.

To use the vernacular of the street, new congressman generally has hard sledding,' says our Washington correspondent. There is an old adage that new broom is expected to sweep clean, and while new congressman may not himself think he will be able to play the part of a new broom, as a rule his constituents do have that opin- ion of him. Henry c. Allen, new member from New Jersey, is just now experiencing the rought places on the toboggan. Last week he was in the city with his hands full of business at the departments, all ill the interest of his constituents. MT Allen gives ample evidence of energy and earnestness and will doubtless readily size up to his new duties and become a valuable ad- dition to the New Jersey delegation. He came into the house on the tidal wave which left New Jersey with but a single democratic member, succeed ing eX-Representative Hughes. The latter signalized his departure from the national halls of legislation by intro ducing resolution appropriating $1O,- GOO for the investigation of the venti- laton and sanitation of street and steam railway cars. which has been so warmly endorsed by boards of health thoroughout the country.

The result of the vote on the school bills in this city yesterday removes
 all doubt from the minds of those who
 were before in doubt as 10 whether Ihe teachers wanted these measures passed or not. It was q great victory for the
 opponents of the bills in general and
 Senator Finton Phelan in particular
 The opposition without any drumming up or caucusing, or any of the political methods that have been used by those favorable to the measure. actually out voted the packers of the bills. This was all the more pleasing to the oppou- ents of the bills because the most that expected was a good substantial vote against the schemes. The fate of the
 measures now lie in the hands of the legislators and it hardly seems pOssi- bic that they will saddle a lot of legs Iation on a community when it speaks as emphatically as it did yesterday. Now that the affair has been settled. at least in so far as the teachers of Water bury are concerned. it might be well for the board of education to see that such a disturber of the peace and hap piness at least of a great number.

President Roosevelt last week star tied the diplomatic world by his frank identical note to Russia and Japan in which he expressed. ill terms, regard ed as extraordinarily forcefu for the language of diplomacy, his urgent de sire that peace between the belligerents may be speedily accomplished. It is generally assumed that the president, as a result of his extensive communica- tions with both the Czar and the .,,.ka- do, conducted through the United States Ambassador to St Petersburg and the Japanese Minister to Washing ton, was assured that such an appeal would be welcomed by both nations. In fact no other hypothesis would ac- count for the publication of the precise language of the appeal. The presi dent feels that the time has come when in the interest of all mankind he must endeavor to see if it is not possible to bring to an end the terrible and la mentable conflict now being waged,' says the president and further along he says. "The president accordingly urges the Russian and Japanese governments not only for their own sakes, but in the interest of the whole civilized world, to open direct negotiations for peace
 
 with one another" While the note is not exceptionally emphatic for the president, it is remarked that in diplO- matte parlance the expression urge is particularly strong and would ordin- arily he replaced by such an expression as hopes for etc. The effort of the president to secure direct negotiations rather than further to act as intermedl- ary will prove d relief Io many who have watched the negotiations with no little anxiety fearing that Japan at least would look to the United States to insure good faith On the part of Rus sia, an insurance which the president would assuredly be powerless to give; especially without the sanction of con gress. If the belligerents act upon the presidents appeal there will undenia- bly, be added another triumph to the ad- ministration of Theodore Roosevelt.

There is TO better way of forgetting ones troubles thsn by attempting to relieve some one else who is in trouble. The more one thinks of his own troubles the more power over him those troubles gain. When he is turned away for . time from himself in the effort to help another, personal troubles may perish from lack of attention and sustenance. However hard our own case may be there is some one rear 10 us whose case is harder. In ministering to him. or in trying to give him comfort. ve are likely to tighten his burden and our own.
