toned In the legislative insurance
inquiry. That Geo. w. Perkins
would be indicted had become a
foregone conclusion, but that the
former member of President Cleve-
lands cabinet would share the same
fate was not dreamed of in the
financial district.
The friends Of Fairchild say that
he Is very sensitive man and that
the indictment will be the worst
shock OF his life.
Fairchild is GA years of age. He
inherited large fortune from his
father and for years has been
known as man of large wealth.
He was once well known as a cor
poration lawyer OF late years he
has devoted himself to banking bus
mess. He is president Of the New
York Security & Trust Co. He Is
an officer in several charity asso-
Citations and many clubs. During
the first Cleveland administration
he was secretary of the treasury.

1t goes without saying that when
John w. Gates or Dave Johnson
"cut loose" these days, they do
something in the plunging line.
In their days the late G. w. Smith
(Pittsburg PhiD and M. F. Dryer
made. some sensational wagers, and
won and lost fortunes on the turf
Riley Grammar, Steve L'Homme
dieu, Joe Yeager, Sol Lichenstein
and others of the present day
plungers also cut a wide swath oc-
casionally.
But to j. B. Haggin and Marcus
DAILY are accredited the most sensa.
tional wagers and biggest coups in
the history of the betting ring.
Mr.. Haggin won the biggest bet
of his career as a plunger when
Ben Ali won the Kentucky derby.
At that time Col. M. Lewis Clark,
president of the Louisville Jockey
club, was participating in his fam
Gus quarrel with the Western Book
makers association, and it was
lucky for the layers that their
states were not up at Douglas park
the day Ben Ali won.
AS Blue Wing. Free Knight and
other starters had quite a following,
Mr.. Haggin cleaned up more than
100000, winning everything in the
pool box. Had the bookmakers done
business that day every bankroll in
the ring would have been shot to
pieces, for Mr.. Haggin had given
orders to his agents ito never stop
betting"
Haggin never knew what a mar
row escape he had, for he did not
know that both his trainer and

was in the Futurity. The future
books were skinned terribly by the
Western horses victory. There was
good price, too, on the day of the
race, and all because a compare
lively unknown rider, Jockey Tu-
berville, had the leg. Days agents

the last quarter.
No one man since the victory of
Ogden ever made such tremen-

How completely is our system
isolated in space The nearest
known star-our systems nearest
neighbor-is 275,V00 times as far
away as the sun. On the small
scale Of our sketch, which reduces
93,000,000 miles to half an inch, on
this same reduced scale, the near
est star, Alpha Centauri, would be
more than two miles away. The
next nearest star, No. 81, 1855 in La
lande's catalogue. would be more
than three miles in another direc-
ton; and so on. The furthest star
visible in our telescopes would be
several thousand miles away, on
this miniature scale The actual
distances in space may be obtained
by multiplying these figures by the
number of half inches in 100000
miles.
All the stars-including our own
star-are in motion. Speeds of
every size between 80 and 60 miles
per second are quite common, yet
how remote and almost impossible
are the chances for collision be-
tween two celestial bodies.

THE SPOKANE.

A representative gathering OF
musicians and music lovers of this
city last night heard Nine. Schu-
mann-Heink's rendition of classic
program. Except for those who un-
derstood German the pleasure of
the concert was confined to the
music alone, as but one number,
''The Lord Is Mindful of His own
was sung in English. AS con-
tralto soloist Nine. Schumann-
Heink is master of her art and
both she and her acompanist, Miss
Helen Schaul, were literally en-
cored. Miss Schaul played three
solos that were we'll received.
A rather distracting feature of
the concert was the battered and
dingy scenery that enclosed the
stage. 1t was rendered all the more
disreputable looking in comparison
with the rich costumes of the sing
er and her companion. The scenery
effect was about the same as that
conveyed by small town opera
house.
Mrs. William ]. Bryan was the
guest of Mrs. George Turner at a
box party for the evening. Mrs.
Bryan's appearance aroused a
slight murmur of applause when
the audience became certain of her
identity.

1ect is to supply water, by exchange
for use in the Greeley and Loveland
ditch. which waters the country be
tween Greeley and Loveland, and ii
possible to supply other canals simi
larly situated above the level IF the
lake.
Boyd's like is four miles long and a
