Scotland and Horss Racirp.

Scotland has been famous for It's horses from the most ancient days When Agrlcola defeated the Caledo- nlans at the battle of the Gramplaus. A. D. S4, the Celtic enemy, as Tacitus relates, were exceptionally strong ia cavalry and charioteers. Successive, kings of Scotland did much to improvs its native breed of horses, and i'll this connection it is not to be forgotten that the first Scottish king of Eng. land. James l.. did more to improve the race horses in our island than was ever done before him or has ever been done by any individual since. James l. was the real author of horse racing as 1t has since been known il England He 1t was who first esta blished resu, lar courses. and during his reign there came into being the code of regula- t1ons that led up to the modern laws of the turf Nobody denies that horsa racing has done much for the breed of British horses. 1t was d gift fror ScOtiai,d-I.ondon Answers.

A Very Restful aae%

Adolf Menzel, the German artist. at one time engaged on a mural deco ration. He had rigged up scaffoldins in his studio. on which his model was requested to stand For two long hours the poor poseur stood up aiof, in most fatfguing posture. Menze in the meantime worked at his sketch. needless of the fact that his model was growing tired.
 At length the mode! found it neces sary to speak. "Herr professor" said he, "how about recess?"
 Menzel apologized profusely for hi. forgetfulness. ''Certain!y, certainly, my dear sir" said be- Come down and rest yourself btt.''
 The model had clatnbercd from the scaffo!diug to the ladder. which lee down from it to the studio floor.
 Stop" cried the artist suddenly. That pose is fine! Don't move a mus. clev'
 And once more the model was forced into strained rigidity. while the enthu. stastlc draftsman set about sketchinr him.
 At the end of half an hour Manzei looked up from his work. There said he; 'that will do nicely! Get back on the scaffold We have had OUT rest. Let us get back to work again ''
 What the model said Is left to the readers imagination.

DEAD IN DYER HOME.

William Hart, g negro, employed as
a butler by Richard n. Dyer, of So
Prospect street, East Orange, was
found dead in bed at $40 o'clock this
morning in his room on the second

When Sergeant Hun went to the

rangement, which was used to throw
u heat as well as light. When turned
on, however, the. light was dimmed and
the gas leaked out into the room
Mary Walsh, the maid, called to Hart
at $40 o'clock, and when she opened
the hall door observed a strong odor
of gas. Mr.. Dyer went to the room
and found the man in bed. and opened
a window. DIR. M. Herbert Simmons,
deputy county physician, was called,
and said death had been accidental.
The wife Of the dead man lives at 22s

TOWN AS zELAYA
PLANS TO FIGHT
Continued from First Paee.)

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3.-The IT, s
transport Prairie, which went aground
IN the Delaware river thirty-fve miles
south of this city last night while en-
route to Central America with ZOO ma
rlnes on board, is still fast in the mud
ana the prospect is that the vessel will
remain there until the next him +;da
ms afternoon. The transport is lying
easy IN soft mud and has thus far sus-
tanned no damage. There is little Wind
and the river, which is quite wide at
that point, is smooth. A determined
effort was made to Loaf the Prairie az
nigh tide early today, out the three
tugs tnat pulled her were unable to
move the vessel an inch.
Inc Prairie was in charge of + T,
Tucker, a Delaware river pilot. and
was going down the river under almost
full headway when she struck. The
heavily loaded vessel hit the mud north
OF Pea Patch Island, and is in fnIl
view of Fort Mott, on the New Jersey
SIDE of the river; Fort Dupont, on the
delaware side, n of Delaware CITY.
Rear Admiral Kinmball and CAPTAIN
Kellogg, of the Prairie. lost no time in
notifying the Philadelphia navy ward
of the mishap. Assistance was asked
for, and Rear Admiral Harris. COM
mandant of the navy yard, sent the
government tug Modoc down the river
n at once engaged the Red Star line
tugs Newcastle and Sommers N. Smith,
both powerful craft, TO help the Modoc.
All preparations We're made to pull the
Prairft out of her bed of mud at food
time. at 4 o'clock. The tugs began
pulling on the big ship before the Hood
tide, however, and continued to do so
until the tide had fallen considerably
The failure OF the tugs to free the YES
sci was q great disappointment TO Ad-
kmiral Kimball and Captain Kellogg, as
they had confidently believed the
Prairie would be foated on the morn
ing tide.
News of the unsuccessful efforts of
the tugs was sent to the navy yard by
wireless, and the government tug Sa-
moset and four lighters were started
for Pea Patch Island before daylight.
1t Is expected that Admiral Kiinball
will have most of the marines taken
off and some of the cargo lightered.
The marines probably will be landed
a. the two forts. The commanding Of
ficers of the forts are alert regarding
the situation and eager to help the
Prairie. With the ship considerably
1ightened the officers aboard feel al
nest sure that the transport will fioat
on the food tide this afternoon.

room. Since removing to Overlook
the clerical force had not had time to
straighten out the records. DR.. Dill
said he intended to have the records
removed to vaults and placed in proper
order.
After three hours of examination,
Freebooter Ward offered a resolution
an expert bookkeeper or indexer
be hired to make a complete COM
pilation of the records from 1877 to
date. This resolution was by
Director Ougheltree n unanimously
adopted by the committee, who gave
Director Ougheltree authority to hire
someone to do the work and to get 1t
started at the earliest possible
The work will necessitate the over
hauling of some 5000 records, M 1t is
estimated will take a month or six
weeks to complete.
DIR. Dill said he had no means of
knowing how it happened that a mis-
AXE had been made in the address of
Mrs. Mayow, which was on the books
as rs Washington street, Newark, nor
could he explain how a patient in the
hospital as. many years as Mrs. Bauer
had been was carried ON the books
under the name of Bowers" He was
inclined to think that the mistake had
occurred in making up new records at
som time in the past.
Asked about the letter Of protest
Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott had sent to
the Board of F~reeholders, complaining
that DIR. Dill was hindering rather than
helping him in the skeleton mystery
case, the latter said:
II cannot understand Mr.. Motifs let
ter. 1 certainly did everything / could
TO help him. l was handicapped, as l
didn't know anything Of value myself.
1 did everything in my power to assist
the grand jury"
There also seemed to be a difference
of opinion between DIR. Dill and the
committee as to whether the skeleton
was that of a patient or not The COM
mittee all seemed to think it was, while
DIR. Dill would o admit it was. He
said a fair presumption was that the
body was that of a patient, but in the
absence of any record of a person miss
ing within the last ten years, the time
set by experts as the probably length
of time the body was in the attic. he
did not see how it could be a patient.
