dolo won the richest steeplechase in the
world last June at Auteuil, France, race
worth $27, 900 in all. has received cable
gram informing him of the victory of his
four-year-old gelding Voltaire in the 10000
francs Prix Kerym at Auteuil yesterday.
This is the fourth consecutive race won by
Voltaire, who is considered one of the best
four-year-olds in France. Mr.. Ffschoffs
stable Of racers is trained by Wallace Da-
Wis, an American. who accompanied Duke
& Wishard to England several years ago.
Juvenal Maxim, the horse that was chiefly
responsible for the death of Jockey Wen
rick, will be unable to race again. He was
only galloping when he stumbled over the
boy, but he broke bone In his foreleg,
which has necessitated his retirement. Ju-
venal Maxim is Haggin-bred colt. who
ran in Sydney Pagets colors two years
ago, only to be sold to Frank Farrell. In
Mr.. Farrelrs colors the colt ran several
disappointing races. being left at the post
upon one occasion at Jamaica when he was
particularly well backed. Last fall the colt
and all of Mr.. Farrelrs other horses that
raced during the season were sold at auc-

bar to his success here in the last two
years.

Hot Springs, was forced to cancel his en-
gagement to ride Nameok the other day
because of sudden illness: While ne was

the race worth about 5000 in all. Bel

False Pretenses Charged.

Lloyd A, Turner was arrested this morn
ing by Detectives Weldon and Tyser ana
held to answer a charge of false pretenses-
It is alleged that he purchased two revolv-
ers. rifle and other property at local
store and gave a worthless check for $135
in payment for them. He made the pur-
chases yesterday, but only took the revolv-
ers from the store with him. This morning
when the detectives heard of the trans

check and started an investigation. They
learned that Turner had tried to dispose
of the rifle at a pawnshop and arrested
him. He will be given a hearing In the
Police Court tomorrow.

The stage is narrow-the scenes not shift

fairly rung up-and holds only few actors,

THE ARMY MULE

Everybody has read of the army mule"
said an old army officer, but only the man
who went down to the front in the time of
knew him for the critter he was. AS
Sheridan and Early confronted each other
in the Shenandoah valley, a drove of mules
was forwarded from Washington Among
item was one which attracted attention by
his unusually long neck. 1t was the gem
eral opinion that nature started in to make
him giraffe, but changed her mind after
finishing his neck. 1t was a day or two
before any one discovered what the extra
two feet had been put into his neck for.
Then the beast got his bearings and sent
forth such brays as had never been heard
before. even about an army camp. He
could outbray anything on legs. He could
wake up more men with effort than
any score of mules could by braying for
an hour. After the third night of his ar
rival the teamster TO whose lot he fell was
ordered to take him two miles to the rear
but even then his tones reached the ears
of 10000 men, and his jaws had to be tied.
This mule differed from other mules,
not only In length of neck, but in having
feelings to be hurt When they cboked off
his bray they grieved and wounded him,
and he determined on revenge. After a day
he slipped his halter and made his way on
to neutral ground. The Videttes and pickets
on both sides tried to capture him, but ii
was no 60 On the second night of his
liberty, just after the cange of picketS,
the mule suddenly opened fire. against the
federal lines. He came down on the left
flank at a gallop, braying as he came, and
inside OF three minutes he had routed out
! 600 soldiers and got them into line In
the of the half-asleep men his brays
sounded like cheers, and our lines had
scarcely been formed when we began firing.
A minute later the confederates were under
arms and blazing away, believing it was
night attack, and it subsequently fig
ured out that at least 10000 bullets were
fired by both sides. Not one of them even
graZed that mule. Our fire halted him for
time, but, bracing up for the occasion, he
presently came charging into and over the
lines knocking men left and right and al
most starting a panic When he was finally
captured the soldiers demanded that he be
instantly wiped off the face of the earth,
but discipline prevailed and he was turned
over to the quartermaster and shipped back
from whence he came"

Wellington on Kisses.
From Titbits.

From Tftbits.
THE Military "reminiscences of a Retired
Colonel contains the following story relat-
ing how the Duke of Wellington overcame
a somewhat embarrassing difficulty.
The sentry on duty one day at the gate Of
Hampton Court palace many years ago was
asked the time by young lady, the
daughter of the widow of a distinguished
soldier who occupied apartments in the
palace She happened 10 be wearing
dainty apron, and. appearing to the soldier
to be a neat ladys rnaid, his reply TO her
question was. Half past kissing time, and
"a kiss.
The indignant young lady fed to report
the impertinence to her mother, who
promptly sent letter of complaint 20 the
colonel of the sentry's regiment. The colo
mel regretted the occurrence. and referred
the lady, half in jest and half in earnest,
to the commander-in-ehief To the highest
quarter, accordingly. she went for redress,
and received the following reply:
Field Marshal the Duke OF Wellington,
while regretting the occurrence OF which
Miss G. complains, begs to say that no
has searched the Army Regulations and tho
Articles of War and he can nowhere find
that kissing is punishable offense from
a military point of view. 1t is against
orders for a sentry 20 converse when on
duty; but in this instance 1t appears that
Miss O. opened the conversation, and
that the sentry. although he answered in
