ENGLISHMEN LOOK TO
AMERICAN BREEDERS
Indie cations Are That British Horse
men Soon VIII Come Across the
Pond to Strengthen Turf
Situation

NEW YORK, May 2S.-The influence
of the American horse on English rae
ing has never been so strong as TINS
year. With Rubio winning the Grand
National Norman III the two thous-
and guineas and Rhodora the one
thousand guineas, 1t appears not at
all improbable that instead of Amert-
cans looking to the "old country for
sires and dams with which to bring
their thoroughbreds to a high state of
perfection the situation may be re-
yersed and the English breeders Will
be coming across to this side for ma
terial to strengthen the English turf.
Some of the most conservative OF stu
dents of breeding are of the opinion
that England needs the sturdy Amer
lean types just as much as this coun-
try's breeds find 1t necessary occa-
sionally to go abroad for the proper
crosses for the native thoroughbred
blood of America.
Scientific breeding is making the
American horse a more sturdy and
speedy animal every year. Rubio was
sired and foaied in California; Norman
III is a product of August Belmont's
Nursery stud in Kentucky and Rho
doras dam is Rhoda B, a daughter of
Hanover.
The installation of Norman III as
fayorite for the Derby and of Rhodora
as the public choice for the equally
famous filly stakes, the Oaks, marks
tremendous concession on the part
of English bettors to necessity.
Kentucky horses have been making
name for themselves in French hur-
die races this season. William Duke,
the American trainer for William X.
Vanderbilt, on his last visit to this
country, picked UP several well-bred
horses around Lexington and took
them, back to Paris with him to be
trained for the so-called 'illegitimate"
game, They have been winning reg
ularly, although the details are lack

Special to The Herald.

SANTA ANA, May 2S.--Evidence in
the case of the People VS.. Charles
was all in at 4:30 this afternoon and
argument began at once. No new de-
velopments came to light during the
trial, and the same story was told by
each witness as was made of record at
the former trial. The defense at
tempted to get the testimony of DR.. H.

pert on the effects of opium on the
human mind, but the doctor could not
qualify to the satisfaction of the court
and was not allowed to testify. Dis.
trict Attorney Davis made the opening

JUMPED AT CONCLUSIONS.
A True Local Story With q Moral At
 tachcd to It.

An irate woman with corkscrew flee of the delivery department of one of New Haven's big stores recently and entered a complaint, saying that she had noticed certain driver of one of the companys delivery wagons driv- ing about on his rounds by young woman on the seat beside him. The woman wound up her complaint by saying, "As respectable woman, of @ high standard of morality, deemed 1t my duty to report the case"
 The young driver described by the woman was summoned to the office and questioned regarding the matter, Tt Is tre" said he; "but the young woman is my wife. She has been i'll of late, and her physician recommends outdoor air for her, so l at times take her with me on the wagon
 Said the manager: 'Young man, you take her as often as you like, and may 1t do her good"
 On Saturday the busybody who male the complaint went again to the office of the department store, renewing her complaint saying Since I was here last I have noticed a repetition of the offense informed you of That young man has again been carrying that young woman about with him on his wagon"
 Said the manager in reply: Madame, 1t is probable that you will not again be annoyed by the spectacle of that devoted young husband drivinGwith his sick wife. She is now in the hospital, where, after undergoing q serious oper- ation, she Is lowering between life and death. Good morning."

COMPULSORY VOTING Minister at Taft's Hot Springs Church Says It Is Not
 Enough to Cheer. MURRAY CRANE ARRIVES Millionaire Massachusetts Senator at Springs for Political Con-
 ference.

Hot Springs, Va, July b.--Mr. and Mrs William H. Taft, attended the morning service of St. Luke's Episco- pal church here today and heard Rev. John G. Scott, the rector, deliver a pa. triotic sermon, which he announced was his habit annually on the Sunday nearest the Fourth of July. Inciden- tally the rector declared that public men, professional men should have more and not less religion than for merly and also that the duty of citi- zens to vote should be absolutely necessary as their duty in the perform ance of jury duty.
 Senator Murray Crane, who arrived in the morning, and Frank B. Kellogg, who came here with MT. Taft, occupied across the aisle from MT. and Mrs. Taft. Mir. Crane had been invited to the springs for a conference on politi- cal matters, his first meeting with Mir. Taft since the action of the republican convention at Chicago being in the lit, tie church. MT. Taft promptly arose when he saw his invited guest, and taking a step across the aisle, shook hands with him and returned to his pew. Rev. MT. Scott chose his text from the eleventh psalm; If the foundation be destroyed, what can the riRhteous do?" He spoke of thA ser

KISSING IN HUNGERFORD.
Curious Old-Tlme Custom in an Eng
 fish Village.

The little town of Hungerford was yesterday the scene of the quaint cele- bration of Hocktide.
 The property of the manor, which comprises a valuable trout fishery, has lately come within the purview of the charity commissioners, who have es- abolished scheme for the future ad- mnistration by popular trustees but with the proviso that the holding of the manorial court. with Its pictur- esque and old-world customs, should be allowed to continue.
 Yesterdays functions began with a series of blasts on the historic horn, and then the tutti men, armed with staves set forth on their perambula- tions, their duty being to demand a penny from every male householder and a kiss from each lady who cross ed their path AS a rule the privilege Is granted with much good humor and husbands look on with equanimity.
 Meanwhile the Hocktide jury was sitting in solemn conclave, appointing the constable and coroner and other ancient officers whose duties are more or less obsolete. London Standard.

GARBAGE QUESTION
Ex- Sergeant Bradley Makes a Timely Comment on This
 Important Subject.

To the Editor of The Journal Courier:
 feel as though would like to say a word in regard to the garbage ques- ton. It seems to me it would be fol- ly to build an incneratng plant to
 burn the garbage. It is a fearful waste of money and a fearful waste of the best fertilizer that can be plac- ed on land. It wont be long if the gar. Dage Is destroyed before the land will f2el the effects and be barren the sane as in the case of our forest trees that have been wasted and destroyed by too careless use. All the garbage destroyed will tell some day on the people that buy vegetables, as the fer tilizer that should go back to the land will be burned up. Where is the fifty or sixty thousand dollars coming from every year that we must pay to de- stroy the country and the farmers very life2 Besides, look at the fuel it will take to consume it. Is not coal and wood high enough now? There are thousands of places within ten miles of our city where the garbage can be carted and plenty of people glad to get it Besides the finest pork is rais- . ed from garbage Cthere is never tuber- eulosis on the liver of hogs fed on gar
 bage; but hogs fed on grain in nine out of ten, singular as 1t may seem, are diseased on the liver), All the compet- ition that the trusts have are what few animals are fed on refuse of the cit- ies, For heavens sake take the money you would use to destroy the valuable garbage and pave our dirty streets that breed more disease ten times over than

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1908-05-13
SiI|R|R|0NJl, The! HANDCUFF QUEEN

Sirronje, who is known as the hand
cuff queen for the reason that with
apparent ease she slips handouts that
are fastened on her wrists by police
officers and deputy sheriffs, who are
supposed to be adopts in the art of so
manacling a prisoner that he cannot
escape from the shackles or handouts
is at the Bijou this week and deserves
some reference aside from the usually
formal notice that is supposed to be-
long to the vaudeville performer
through the arts of the press agent.
There is no question of Sirronje's
ability to escape from manacles, but
whether she slips them off or is able
to unlock them with the aid of a con-
cealed key is a question for the wit
ness of her performance to figure out
for himself. By far the most interest
ing of Sirronje's performances is her
escape from a sack, which has been
securely tied and sealed a trunk
which has also been locked, and en-
cased in an apparently innocent
square of sheeting, which is also tied
and sealed, and from handouts and
shackles, which have been adjusted
before she is put into the sack
This trick is done by few perform
ers on the stage and at public exhibit
tons and is always mystifying. In the
first place a square of sheeting is
placed on the floor of the stage. Then
a trunk is placed on the sheeting
opened, examined, sounded and seems

quite like other trunks. Sirronie is
then manacled and shackled by police
officers. The shackles an manacles
are to all appearances secure. Thus
securely trussed up, she is placed in
sack, which is tied and sealed at
the top. The sack is placed in the
trunk, which is locked, and in turn
wrapped up in the sheeting that was
laid on the floor. This is also gathered
up like a. bag, tied !! at the top and
sealed. That Sirronje is in the trunk
is evident from her response to rap
ping from the outside, for she raps
from within.
| The trunk is hidden for few min.
3utes in a velvet canopy. Then there
is a rustling inside the canopy, which
is thrown open, and she is discovered
sitting on the trunk. The bag inside
is apparently intact. So is the bag
about. the trunk The seals are UNI
broken. The handouts and shackles
are unlocked and found inside the
trunk after 1t is opened 80,
There is a trick in 1t, of course It
is not possible for matter to pass
through matter and leave no sign. No,
body gets out of bag that is sealed
and securely fastened, unless there is
another hole in the bag. Neither can
matter get out, of a trunk unless there
is hole in the trunk. But just how
the trick is done is the thing that in
terests you in spite of yourself; And
that is why the performance is always
entertaining. , ti =
