THE WHISPERS.
How Abseonding Bookmakers Are
 Treated In England.

How Abscondins Bookmakers Are
 Treated In England.
 One thing that deters people from wagering large sums at the tracks of England is the comparative frequency with which the bookie there departs with the stakes. Iris is a rascalit. almost unknown at an American course, and in the very exceptional cases when it does happen the turf as- sociation always makes good all losses.
 But if the cry of "welsher" goes up on an English track, prepare for trou- ble. Battle. murder and sudden death generally follow. As everybody knows a gambling debt is illegitimate, so the mob's only recourse is to take its moneys worth out of the unfortu- nate mans person. They knock him off his box. tear his clothes to pieces, beat, kick and trample on him, and unless he is rescued in time by the po- lice they are apt to finish him alto gether. The authorities are on the alert to prevent such things, and as soon as there is a sign of trouble the terror stricken hookmaker Is sur rounded by group of "bobbies," who fight their way through the dense mass and escort him beyond the reach of the fury of the mob.-From "The Peo- pie and the Ponies," by c. F. Peters, in Bohemian.

At Sea on Maskat,

A funny scene occurred many years ago in congress. A present of Ara bian horses, a sword, etc. arrived from the imam of Maskat for President Adams. A western member with some heat moved that the gift should be sent back. with a letter from con- gress informing the ruler of Maskat that the president of the United States was no king. but the servant of the people. and was not permitted to give or receive presents
 Another member rose. Such a let ter. Mir. Speaker" he said. ''can easily be written. But where is it to be sent7 Where is Maskat?'
 There was no response. Apparently not a member of the house was pre- pared to answer, nor could Maskat then be found in any atlas published in this country. It was found at last on a German map. A civil answer was returned. and the geographers made haste to insert Maskat in the next edition of their maps.

DEATH BED MARRIAGE
A Wealthy Glove Manufacturer Died Three or Four Hours
 After the Ceremony.

New York, Sept. 1S.-To have been a nurse and bride and widow all within a few hours, is the unusual experience of Mrs Alfred Adler of this city. MT Adler was wealthy Broadway glove manufacturer. He was taken with typhoid fever on his way back from trip through Yel- lowstone park with his fiancee, who was Miss Johanna M. D. Hartung, of this city, and party of friends. On his being taken to Mt Sinai hospital Miss Hartung, to whom he had been engaged eight years, became his nurse. He succumbed to the dis ease, but before his death he and Miss Hartung were married. The we'd ding took place at 630 o'clock in the morning and he expired at 10 o'clock. For three nights previous to his death Miss Hartung did not leave his bedside

GET THIN CRAZE
Loudoner Denounced Il at a Recent Meeting of Sanitary
 Inspectors Association.

London, Sept. 1s.-Sir James Cr!chton- Browne, in delivering the presidential address at the annual meeting of the sanitary inspectors association at Llandudno, referred to the English meat supply and urged the abolition of private slaughter houses and the providing of abba toirs and a central office for meat in- spection. The people no longer would find prize Christmas fat beef absolutely filled with generalized tu- berculosis." He added: .-
 If Chicago has its jungle, London has its dismal swamp" :.
 In another part of his address the eminent physician denounced what he described as the prevalent craze for getting thin.
 On all hands, he said, the cry is that we east too much. So fierce in some quarters is the propaganda ot dietetic asceticism that in dread oI being suspected of gluttony people only indulge thei rhealthy appetite in secret.
 This craze, Sir James declared,wa producing a debility which sufferers therefrom were seeking to combat by indulgence in alcohol and narcotics.

Late Grass Crop Heavy.

The after grass never was better at this season, but you don't hear word about it from our neighbors in the rural districts. When the weather was dry and the meadows brown and bare, farmers stopped their teams at every turn of the road to talk about it, but now they drive right along and if one mentions any, thing about this they give an evasive answer. They are afraid that people will demand reduction of the ad- vance in the price of milk and prefer not to discuss the question. This is the way prices crawl upward and once they take jump they rarely come back to where they started from. There is no reason why milk should be over five cents a quart in Waterbury, but of course if the pro ducers can get morefor it so much the better for themselves. There may have been some excuse for putting up the price when there was no grass, but now that the cows are to their ears in clover people ought to get a few tickets more for a dollar.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
Whence 1t Comes and Whither It Goes
 No One Knows.

Whence 1t Comes and Whither 1t Goes
 No One Knows.
 The solar system is we'll enough when picturesquely expounded. but when the solar system becomes a mere atom travelling some 400,000,000 of miles per annum toward some incon- ceivable goal, and when millions of similar systems have to be contem- plated. all pursuing some similar course, the lay imagination is com pletely ba11ed.
 Nor is it easy to believe that the most eager astronomer is not sometimes perplexed and dismayed by the vistas opened up before him. For everything he learns merely opens up vaster prob lens. and when he has extended his vision to stars from which light would take 2,000 years to reach this earth he is no nearer finality than the child who thinks the sky but spectacle of revolving lights.
 We are told that the heavens as we see them are occupied by two great streams of stars moving in opposite directions That suggests at least two centers of revolution at some unimagi- nable distance and adds to our aching embarrassment. We ask. Whence? W'hither? And with all our science there is no answer.-London Times.
