NORTHERN SEASON ENDS

This week sees the end of horse racing

The campaign is dying game, for the
meeting now I'm progress i'm Dover is far

faster than at any time this season and
nearer To form If the sport holds up 10
the standard this week the meeting will
long be remembered
OF the 10 races decided last week only
two were won In straight heats. and OF
the many horses who captured heats,
only four escaped without new records.
John VI was better than at any other
time this season and won tho fastest race

track. the time being 2:o52a, 2:05l. and
2:01. The black horse acted more like his

Electricity says that the Brooklyn
bridge is now reaching a period in its
history when the paramount question
OF danger overrides all other considera-
lions, and the structure must be re-
built to insure public confidence and
safety. Its rate Of deterioration has
been S1,oO0,O00 year, which the engi-
neering experts have attributed to
overstrain and electrolysis. Overstrain
perhaps was to have been expected Of
the only direct connecting link be-
tween the two great cities, but electrol-
ysis as a cause Of destruction of so no
bic a structure represents a certain
knowing heedlessness ON the part of
trolley companies. whose experiences
should have called for some provision
on their part against such disastrous
consequences. The journal thinks that
better means ought to be taken to pre-
vent similar destruction of the new
bridge farther up the river.

Some interesting statistics have been
compiled showing how trinlng articles

600 pennies for gum. the sum being
$1,000 The pins used by officials and
employees of the SAINTS Fe system last
year weighed 1000 pounds. To keep
the depos and Offices clean $1,000

Whatever writing King Edward
finds 1t necessary to do himself Is done
In quick. hurried style of penman-
ship, which in itself is a suggestion
of the quantity Of work he has to per-
form. The king is most particular that
all his letters and papers shall be ar
ranged and fled according to an ex-
cellent system which is largely his own
invention. and he never keeps any of
them after the necessity for doing so
has ceased. 1t Is an instance Of his
majesty's reluctance to accumulate
rubbish" as well AS his strict regard
for secrecy that every morning the
contents Of large waste paper basket
are taken charge Of by his private sec

RockefeIlcr's Millions.

A Wall street banker Is credited with
the statement that the fortune of John
ID. Rockefeller In few years will
amount to S1,0000O0.00O. There are
many estimates current of Mr.. Rookie
feller's wealth. estimates hanging all
the way from $400.000.O 900 to 5000. 0O0,-
600, but the Wall street authority adds
that all estimates of the Rockefeller
fortune have been too low. Years ago
Mr.. Gladstone was one of the guests at
q dinner In England where the Oldest
member OF the Vanderbilt family was
also present. Somebody whispered to
the English premier that the rich
American had $100,O00.O00, and Mr..
Gladstone commented after looking Gu
riously at Mr.. Vanderbilt, Then ]

The government of the republic OF NJ
caragua has sent experts from the capi
tai TO examine a remarkable and dead
ly tree that was recently discovered on
the hacienda of Sonora Maria Gastea-

has been given the name Of arbol del

cry was made throulL the disappear
ance of son Of Sonora Gasteazoro
Several days later the body of the boy
and the carcass of the pony he was
riding were found under the tree In a
remote part OF the hacienda Ii was
noticed that sickly sweet odor ema-
mated from the tree. and those who re-
moved the body S the boy became
suddenly dizzy while under its branch
es. Closer examination of the boys
body disclosed the fact that several
blood vessels had burst, and later the
same condition was disclosed by an ex-
animation of the remains of the pony.
Under the tree were the bones OF goats,

Is supposed that thszb boy, coming upon
the heap Of bones, stopped to investi-
gate and that both boy and pony were
oyerpowered by the deadly fumes from
the tree.
Since that time the tree has been ex-
amined to limited extent by persons
on the hacienda, and It's deadly opera
ton has been noted. Along the branch
es of the tree are small valvelike pro
jections, open at the ends. 1t is be-
lieved that the poisonous fumes issue
from these valves. A bird lighting on a
branch Of the tree is caught and held
fast. and within fe3 minutes the
blood vessels of its body burst News
OF the discovery of the tree has spread

said that similar trees have been dis
covered In Portugal and Korea.
