BELMONT DECLARES AGAINST
WESTERN JOCKEY CLUB
Latter's Edict of Outlawing for
Horses. Owners and Jockeys Does

Horses, Owners and Jockeys Does
Not Hold in the East.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20.--In one trenchant
sentence August Belmont. the New
York fnancier and head of the great
controlling turf body of this country.
gave the turf world as much to think
about to-day as he did the civic trans
portation bodies with his speech on
Chicagos traction system last night.
He said:
"As for the 'so-called' outlaw horses,
owners. trainers and Jockeys. such as
were condemned in the West last year
for racing at Union Park, st. Louis,
by the Western Jockey Club, they
shall never be denied the privileges of
courses under our jurisdiction"
a great deal Of terror, inspired by the
western Jockey Clubs ponderous edict
of outlawry, is taken away by the
Knowledge that, except in cases of
fraud, any Western owner may race in
the East

Wanted To Get Out And Walk.

Every troubled passenger on ship
has probably heartily sympathized
with the little girls wish to stop
and get out.
During the tedious passage of a
steamer from New-London to Block
Island, when the water was un-
usually rough, all the women pas
sengers, and most of the men, suf-
fered the qualms of seasickness.
Among the members of one fam
lily was an uncommonly sprightly
little miss of three summers. Lit
tie Lizzie was frequently interrog-
ated by the suffering ones about
her: Don't you feel sick?" each
time stoutly answering: No.
Finally this questioning ceased,
but after a time those who observ-
Cd her saw by her Subdued manner
and slight pallor that old Neptune
was about TO exact his tribute. Not
word of complaint, but greater
loss of color. and some little signs
of discomfort, until finally rising
and turning, not without a show
of intantile dignity, to her solic-
itous parents, she lisped.
/ dess wei dit out and walk
nowl"
The Frustrated ones about the
women's cabin and all the men on
the deck forgot all their sorrows in
hearty bursts of laughter at this
token of capitulation.

One of the Lucky Ones.

Corpus Christi Caller.
Mr.. Allen Johnson was surprised
with a check for one hundred
dollars a few days ago that natural
ly made him feel very good, the
money coming from the Woolson
Spice Company, of Toledo, Ohio,
to Mr.. Johnson as one of the guess
ers at the total vote of the last
National election. There were a
large number of prizes offered, the
highest being 81, 500, ranging from
that down to s.. Mr.. Johnson was
number 10, in other words, there
were only IS. that came nearer
than he to guessing the total vote,
and there were thousands of guess.

PervcrSity OF Juries.

In Missouri there is a Judge
well-known throughout the State
for his long winded charges to the
jury.
In this connection Congressman
Champ Clark tells of a trial at the
conclusion of which this Judge,
with more than his usual tedious
ness, explained to the jury his
ideas of the merits of the case. SO
apparent was it, observed the
Judge, what verdict should be rem
dered, that il would be surprising
if the jury should leave the box.
Nevertheless the jury did leave
the box, and were out for some
hours. As the time dragged on,
the Judge grew impatient, so he
sent an inquiry as to the cause of
the difficulty; whereupon il was
ascertained that one of the jurors
was holding out. The entire jury
then was summoned before the
Judge, who administered a severe
rebuke to the recalcitrant member.
Your honor, INTERCEPTED the
unhappy man, when he at last got
an opportunity to interpose a word
in the lengthy harangue of the
judge, . may / have one word9"
Just one, sir" responded the
irate Judge. What have you to
sayp"
= Only this, your honor, quietly
replied the 'hold-out" that I'm
the only one on your side.
