THE LOCAL RACE TRACKS

NEW YORK, Sept. 3o.-J. ]. Grant,
superintendent of James B. Haggin's
recently abandoned Rancho del Paso
stud in California, has been appointed
superintendent of the San Francisco
tracks under the management of
Thomas II. Williams.
Grant is in the East just now, but
he will shortly start West to enter
upon his new duties. He never has
had a chance to show what he could
do in the way of. keeping race tracks
in condition, but he has long had a
reputation among horsemen of being
famous handler of yearlings.

POSSIBILITIES OF
THE NEW MAGIC
Wireless Telegraphy Almost
Daily Develops a New
Use - Recent Examples

Almost daily wireless telegraphy''
develops new utility, and 1t is evident
that as yet we are only at the begin
ming of the revolution 1t is going to
work in human affairs by its extension
of the possibilities of communication.
Formerly the ship alone on the ocean
was alone indeed, and practically out Of
touch with the rest of the world unless
she happened to sight another vessel
and even then the chances were that
the other vessel could give her no news
OF any kind. That is all changed now.
Our cruisers receive and obey orders
while far out at sea as conveniently as
If they Were in port at the end of q
telegraph line, and for an ocean liner
to be IN constant communication with
one shore or another has ceased to be
matter of comment.
A novelty, in it's way, was the expert
ence of the boy who slowed away" on
the Panama steamer Advance and re-
mained concealed so long that he felt
sure of at least seeing the Isthmus.
But the Advance. having the modern
equipment, simply called to steamer
OF the same line going the other way.
transferred to it the Improbable pass
enger before his voyage was half COM
pleted. and so sent him home again at
a considerable reduction of expense to
the company. In that case the trans
fer was compelled, but one could be
made Just as easily II the passenger
Were willing, as he might be If he had
received news from home that made
MS presence there desirable.
And there are possibilities in regard
to escaping prisoners or fugitive GRIM
inals that loom large. Hitherto such
persons have been safe when once at
sea, at least till they reached the port
OF destination and could be headed off
by the cable but now a ship can be
asked at. any stage of her voyage IL
sne mas certain man aboard, and In
case of necessity she could often send
MIN back without giving him any op-
portunity to comp1icate Justice by in
yoking the extradition laws of some
unoDllglng country Very delicate
questions might thus be raised, but the
general effect should be good.-New

street, who was declared by his nhy-
sicians to be dying of consumption.
To the surprise of his family and
friends, Mr.. Davis got out of bed,
dressed himself, walked downstairs and
ate hearty dinner.
Several months ago Mr.. Davis was
taken seriously Ill. Physicians told his
family there was no hope of recovery.
He grew worse and on Washington's
birthday lapsed into unconsciousness.
A brother of Mr.. Davis, who is a
member Of the praying band, obtained
permission for the band to come and
pray with him. When the doctors were
called to see Mr.. Davis after his recov-
cry they were dumfounded.
"My recovery is a miracle" said Mr..
Davis, "and I am changed man. 1
will devote the rest of my life to thank
ing God for hearing the prayers of my
friends"

etery bury him close to his father.

sition of his personal effects.

Cortland Myers, pastor of the First

If he had money he could close every

The money for expenses will be fur

fight.
"Poolrooms are being operated in this
city in violation of the law" said Dr.
Myers to Third Deputy Police Comr1l,-

police court recently. 1T is foolish to
say they can't be suppressed. Why,

one of them in six months, if had the
money"
"I am authorized to grant you the
necessary money" said Mr.. Mathot.
''I agree, then, to close the poolrooms
in six months" replied DR.. Myers.

missioner Bingham, enclosing list of
fifty alleged poolrooms in the city. Dr..

SEEK TO MAKE PORK OF PET
Village, Church and Family Aroused
Against Beast He Feeds at
His Table
snecia1 to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ZION'S HOPE, Ark, April 29.-The
people of this village are just about
tired of Adlai Ruggles and his pet pig
and a half dozen of our leading ctti-
zens have Clipped in to hire a lawyer
and see If Ruggles cannot be forced to
make pork of it. Mrs Ruggles is with
them heart and soul, because she
has been subjected to a series of annoy
ances by her husband for the last
twenty years and she is worn out by
his vagaries.
Adlai has passion for pets. He has
had snakes crawling over the furniture,
jackdaws stealing the spoons and tame
bears nosing into the ice box, but the
pet pig caps the climax. This Is the
fifth porker he has raised by hands
and kept in the household just as any
one else would keep a dog. His wife
could stand having the pig fed at the
table, and seated in front of the melo-
deon by her husband. who insisted that
the beast enjoyed the strains of "In the
Sweet BY and Bye" but she drew the
line when Adlai took the pig to bed
with him and deprived her of the COW
ering to keep his pet warm. She de-
clares it's nose was cold, notwithstand-
ing the covers.
The public protest came three weeks
ago, WHeH Auldl LOOK Inei pig TO church.
He had craftily concealed it in a
gunny bag which was supposed to con-
tain potatoes for the minister and
placed it in the pew alongside of him.
Ii so happened that the preachers SER
mon dealt with the parable of the swine
possessed of evil spirits, which were
driven into the sea. He said the evil
spirits meant evil thoughts in the
hearts of men, and was making a most
beautiful address when Adlai's pig got
loose and ran up the center aisle,
squealing as If it had been stuck with
g knife. Deacon Popham was so scan
dalized that he chased the pig UP to the
pulpit and in his efforts to seize 1t fell
heavily and barked his nose.
Sister Susan Smidwax threw hymn
book at it and struck Deacon Hollups
in the left eye, closing it completely.
Then the entire congregation of sixty
persons joined in the pursuit and
chased the poor little creature, which
was squealing in terror. up and down
the aisles until finally 1t was captured
in a wide mouthed Japanese vase in
the vestry. Adlai has been read out of
the church, and the lawyer says he is
going to make things unpleasant for
him.
