Y. N. (. A. Relay Race

A race 1926 miles long was begun at 10 o'clock on Wednesday of last week and it was completed at 9:3S o'clock of last Tuesday morning. Sunday was, however, dies non in this race. The actual time consumed was 119 hours and 22 minutes, and the average speed of the boys who carried the silver tube was, therefore, just about SA miles an hour. The boys who carried the tube ranged from 12 to 21 years of age, and the record they have made is a cred itable one.
 A speed of SA miles an hour is the speed of gleaming limbs in a running race. No one can walk at that pace Even one-half of that rate of speed would be rapid walking. The boys re- leved each other every half mile, and a half-mile dash is not to a boy ex- haustive.
 The silver tube contained message from Mayor Mcclellan of New York to Mayor Busse of Chicago. The type written sheet was soiled when it was unrolled. It read as follows: To the City of Chicago:
 The city of New York sends greetings by the fleet runners of the Young Mems Christian association.
 This message is borne on foot without halt from the Atlantic to Lake Michigan, and the hundreds of boys who carry 1t gain no prize except the eonsciousness of having done their best.
 This tells the entire story. It was a feat in athletics, and the five hundred boys who took part in it are wide awake and they may form a society and hold annual meetings and tell their expert ences. They would thus become the Knights of the Silver Tube.

CinCinnati'S Peace Celebration

A movement has been started in Cincinnati to organize a popular cele- hration of the semi-centennial anniver- sary of peace between the north and the south. The year in which it is to be held is the year 1915, and at that time Cincinnati proposes to dedicate a southern peace monument while it which each southern state would have a building filled with the products, re- sources, handicraft and forms of amusement that are enjoyed at home. The fifteen state buildings will be the chief features of the exposition.
 Beyond all doubt the fiftieth anniver- sary of the restoration of peace should be celebrated, and Cincinnati on the border line in the middle west is the best place in which to hold it. The war was extended into Ohio by General Morgan, and no city is so central to the south, and to the north also, as Gin cinnati. It is very near the actual center of population in Indiana. Gin cinati is the true place for the holding of peace jubilee, and the year 1915 is the time, for peace was fully restored in 1865, and the armies were dis | banded.
 Alabama had no exhibit at Norfolk, but she can be depended upon to do her part in the proposed peace celebra- tion. The midwest is the south's re- cruiting ground when additional white farmers are needed, and they are re- ally needed continuously in Alabama, where only one-third of the soil is under cultivation. We cannot afford to stay away from the proposed peace exposition.

TENoRs AMUSING ADVENTURE.
he New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
 An amusing adventure of the well known Italian tenor, Lunardl, who has been sing ing in Bucharest, is reported by the Aus trian papers. The last night of his stay there he appeared as Othelio and was mo- ticeably nervous all the evening because he had to catch the midnight train for Budapest, where he was to sing the next night in the part of Samson. On account Of the short time at his command, he de- cided to drive Tn costume and makeup tc his hotel, and to change his clothes there Hence his troubles. Rushing from the theatre he nailed one cab after another but the driver refused to let this feroeous looking heavily armed Moor enter their carriages. Finally Lunardi in despair rushed back to his hotel on foot, folowe by q large crowd of interested persons. When he reached there, almost exhausted, there was no time to dress. He jumped into the hotel omnibus, which got him to the train just in time for him to get on it, but not in time for him to take with him so much as hand bag He was therefore compelled, on arrival at Budapest the next afternoon, to leave the train in his gorg eous clothes. There was an enormous crowd at the station, which greeted hiiG with cheers, and when he reached his hotel he found all the employees drawn up 10 receive him, with the manager at the head in the convention dress coat of cere- mony Some one in Bucharest, who had .,eard of his hurried departure had tele- graphed to the hotel that the sultan of Zanzibar would arrive by that particular train. The disappointment of the hote. employees on seeing that the sultan of Zanzibar was no other than their old friend Lunardi, is said to have been high " cOmical

Notifying the Candidates

On Tuesday next MT. Taft is to be informed at Cincinnati that he has be- come the nominee of the party for president, and Mir. Bryan will receive similar information from a notification committee at Lincoln on August 12.
 These formalities are gone through with every four years, and each time the victim fires off a wad of campaign stuff. MT Taft will answer his polit- ical enemies next Tuesday, and MT. Bryan will answer Taft on August 12. both speeches of acceptance will be too long to be read by the average citi- zen.
 Along in September each will write a letter of acceptance, and then the is sue will be considered joined, and the case will go to the people, before whom the spellbinders will declaim and tear the air. The day in Novem- Der will be the quietest and best day of the campaign.
 The real work will be formulated in the campaign headquarters of either party in Chicago, for both already see that the real contest is in the middle west. The west has no excess of love for the effete east, and it may be that the present campaign is the beginning of broad movement that will put the east on the retired list. The west and the south are getting ready to fill a place in this country that their prod ucts seem to have assigned them. The west and the south grow all the great products of the land, and it will be strange indeed if they do not rule the country that they support, maintain and make.

LlOydS Betting On the Election

The Lloyds Insurance Association of London is primarily conducted to do a marine insurance business, but it has long been in the habit of adding to marine risks all sorts of other risks. It issued policies against Queen Victo- ria's death in advance of the jubilee. Many were spending large sums in con nection with the jubilee, and they de- sired to be insured against loss. h. surance against business losses in case of King Edwards death when he placed himself in the hands of sur geons was also issued. The Lloyds managers also issue policies against the birth of twins, and now they have added to their lists insurance on the results of the American presidential election. That is to say, if man has at risk 5000 he pays Lloyds $1O0, and fin case of Bryans election-for so the scheme runs-the insured would re- ceive 5000, or $90O net.
 How much of this much-talked-of in surance business is campaign "hot air. and how much is reality is not exactly known But the chances are that not many bets of the Lloyds sort will be placed, even if the authorities do not step in to put an end to the new form of election betting. The entire thing has a campaign flavor and appearance, >>nd perhaps if it were traced and sift-
 xould be found that the plan had ,L red by political gamblers.

Hardwick,s Observations.

s. H. Hardwick of Washington, D. C., railway. was in Birmingham yesterday. He left in the afternoon for Montgomery and from that city will proceed home MT Hardwick was stationed here as passenger agent IS or 20 years ago and few men have watched the progress of Birmingham with keener interest or more prophetic eye than he.
 While I had passed through Birming- ham recently this is my first visit in two years" said MT. Hardwick. land the growth and improvement of the city greatly impress me. I am especially struck with the fine impression one gets of Birmingham in coming from the new station down into the business district. This city has made wonderful strides and is now one of the most generally talked about cities in the country. The splendid success of the Confederate re- Birmingham. One hears nothing but praise of the way the crowds were re- ceived and entertained"
 In speaking of the railroad business MT. Hardwick said that while traffic was not as abundant as he would like to see it, 1t was improving.
 ''In some sections of thes Southern rail- ways territory passenger traffic is very sCod indeed" he said, "and on the whole it is much better than we expected a few months ago 1t would be. The record breaking crops will test the carrying ca pacity of the railroads. I have never seen anything like the fruit crop and cotton and every other agricultural prod uct in the south is in excellent grow ing condition. I have been travelling through the southern states for two weeks and have found the people every where in good spirits in anticipation of q return of prosperity such as we had last year and the year before. Last summers passenger business beat all records but with the rapid development of the south we will probably see a new high record next summer"

THE PROFITABLE SADDLE.

From Harpers Weekly
 They were talking over the carelessness of well-to-do people who, by overlooking their small bills, frequently bring disaster upon the tradesmen who are trying to do business on a small capital
 Tt sometimes happens that these poor devils have two or three times the amount of their capital out in bills that if paid promptly would make their com- mercial ways path of roses,' said the economist. Little bills of 8, $4 and $5, not much in themselves, mount up high in the aggregate, and it sometimes hap pens that a seeming prosperity, through the failure of a lot of customers to pay their bills within a reasonable time, re- suits in ruin"
 And yet" said the reminiscencer, it sometimes works the other way. I heard story in England once of harness dealer who on entering his shop one afternoon. after absence of several hours, noticed that a rather handsome saddle that he had in stock had disp- pered. He made immediate inquiry Of his salesmen, and one of them informed him that he had sold it to a gentleman who had come to the shop with his trap, that the purchaser had thrown it into his wagon and driven off, after telling him to charge it. Fortunately, however, he had forgotten to ask the gentleman name, and all effort to identify him by description failed.
 Well" said the shopkeeper, who was ingenious man, there is only one thing left to be done We will charge the saddle up on all our outstanding ac- counts. Those who did not buy the sad dle will, of course, call our attention to our error. and the man who did take it, will, of course, pay
 This method was adopted and at the beginning of the next month the bills were sent out accordingly. Two weeks later the saddler approached his cash1 fer and asked if he had heard as yet about the matter. How about that miss ing saddle, Marcus?' he asked. We are doing very well, sir replied the cashier. Forty of our customers have paid for it, and only two have discovered the mis- take''

City Prisoners in Mines.

A news item relative to the citys hlr- ing convicts to the Sloss- Sheffield com rany, published this morning. seems to have created an erroneous impression said Mayor Ward yesterday 'The state ment that the city hires eonvicts to the Sloss company for $lO a month is true, but only those men who are uncontroIlable are sent to Flat Top, and were 1t neces- sary, the city would pay the Sloss com rany $lo month to keep them. There have been only seven city prisoners sent to the mines In the last four years.
 ''The filing of the contract in the pro- bate court is simply 9 requirement. of the municipal code However, an impression seems to have gained ground that the city is sending men to Flat Top to help the strike situation This impression is errone- ous. The city needs all of it's prisoners and will send only those who will not be controlled to the mines at Flat Top.v

STRANGE FISH HAS FOUR LEGS.

Fairbury Cor. Kansas City Times
 A great many guesses have been made by the residents of Fairbury as to the name of a couple of animals, or fish, whichever they may be, brought in by Gus Bitzer, Rock Island en- gineer, when he returned on his run from Bellville, han., recently
 In appearance the things resemble a channel catfish, being of the same color and shape, but they have four legs each, and each leg has foot with five toes. Immediately back of the head three growths appear on each of the animals. The strangers seem 10 get around every bit as well on dry land as they do in water.
 They have been on exhibition, and hundreds of persons have seen them, but no one has been found who ever had seen anything like them before Bitzer caught them in a pool of water near Bellville. He says there are many specimens in the Bellville neighbor- hood, but nobody there seems to know what they are. The animals appear to be vicious and snap at anything held near them.
