"A number of Wisconsin fairs have
this year reduced expenses by cutting
out professional horse racing entirely
and others like the fair at Blooming
ton, Will have but one harness race
and one running race each day. These
breaks in the usual continuity of
racing dates causes the horses to
become widely scattered and difficult
to obtain by those societies that put
on a more complete racing program.
More than 100 horses were entered
in the speed department at Boscobel
last week, it being among the earliest,
if not the first fair in the state, and
all the horses in this section of tie
county assembled there for their first
official tryout of the season.
Many of the horses that were
entered there will be at Mineral Point
this week, but their future dates are
highly problematical. The officers of
the Grant County Fair Society think
the prospects are very good for a fair
field of good steppers ar the fair to be
held in Lancaster Sept. -, IA and 10.

HOW TO SLEEP COOL

From the New York Times.
 Police Commissioner Waldo received from Joseph Evans of g Malta road. Marsh lane, Bootle, Liverpool, who de- scribed himself as "only a workingman, a recipe for kepeing cool in hot weather. Evans was prompted to send 1t after read ing of the hot wave here. This is his ad- vice:
 For a narrow bed get piece of wood about the thickness of a broom handle that will reach from the head to the foot, about 12 inches above a person lying in bed Then get a newspaper and gum or sew the sheets together so that they will reach down the sides of the bed and over the wood. Then place a sheet for blankets over the paper. That is all that is wanted. Leave a space of aboue IS inches clear from the head of the bed. and the person lying under 1t will find nice, cool current of air passing through.
 For a full-sized bed the only differ ence Is that it requires two pieces of wood or a cord drawn tight about IS inches from each side.
 The commissioner may try this, he says, if warm spell should hit the town again, and let Evans know how it works.

MARK TwAIN,s START

East Liverpool, O.-Capt. Abner Martin the oldest Ohio Mississippi riverman in the Ohio valley, celebrated his 9lst birth day anniversary yesterday. It was he who taught Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain all the author ever knew about steamboat when both were working on the liver packet Pennsylvania. T told Sam he never would make a hit as steamboat man." said Captain Martin yesterday, and he didn't. He was too witty, even when on a pilot house deck.
 Captain Martin said that few people knew how Clemens got into the lecture business. "When the war broke out he said. sam enlisted in the Confederate army, spent a few months there and then. deserting. went to the Fijo Islands, where lie remained until after the war Return ing home dead broke, Sam wrote and de- llvered his first lecture in Sacramento, Cal.
 "He made deal with an opera house manager then who had advised against his going on the stage. Sam got out his own dodgers and on them he had print ed. Doors open at 7:30 o'clock; trouble starts at s. He spent all night writing his first lecture He was still at it at sum- up. The house was packed and Sam cleared over $l000 that night, and he got the opera house for nothing

Postal Banks in Big Cities

New York, Chicago, Boston and St. Louis are to have postal banks. They will begin to receive deposits on Au- gust 4. Over one thousand banks have been established in second-class postoffices, and now the plan is to be extended to the first-class offices.
 Birmingham is betwixt and be- tween and this town will simply have to wait until the Postmaster General gets round to it. It is doing very well without a postal bank and it can afford to wait upon MT. Hitchcock s conversion. There are many cities in this country and all cannot be given postal banks in a jiffy.
 Jefferson county already has two and when one is established in Bir- mingham the system will be pretty well started in this big county-a county that is outranked in the south by Orleans parish alone. No doubt in time the postal banks will have many depositors, although they will pay on accounts but per cent inter est. The rate is low but the security Is the very best.

THE PANHANDLER'S PARADISE

William lnglis, in Harpers Weekly.
 If 1t is art to conceal art, then the flop per" is the most consummate artist in mendicancy. His finished product appears to be fortuitous. As a matter of fact. 1t is all studied out with scrupulous care Neither Booth nor Irving ever devoted more pains, or insight. or imagination. to the portrayal of Hamlet than good Hopper bestows upon the proper press entation of his tragedy. In the first place. he must be minus a leg or two. This. of course, is not art but the result of a conflict with natures crude forces. It is a curious fact that out of some 5000 "foppers histories investigated by Mir. Forbes. more than 90 per cent of the men lost their legs in accidents on trains upon which they were riding as tramps. Be- fore losing legs, then, the beggar has been accustomed to shun work and to get his bread by whining. After the acci- dent the hobo, if he Is an artist, turns "fopper.'--that Is. one who Hops down upon the pavement, a spectacle of mute helplessness. with empty and receptive hat at his side. Note, the hat is always empty, for the sight or jingle of coins might scare off intending contributors.

THE PASSING OF THE PETTICOAT

in laying the blame upon woman. the members of the cotton association had scarcely congratulated themselves upon their good fortune in having the per plexlty solved for them at length, when another and more chivalrous knight en- tered the lists and the worthy presidents explanation was not suffered to go un- challenged. This new champion was no other than the doughty knight of the Columbia State, who has been known to roise his goodly lance on so many fields and so seldom to be unhorsed. He flung his. defiance as follows:
 But woman is not to he blamed alone Tor this revolution that mperils the spin ming business. Some time ago we made bold to mention the curtaiment of mems unmentionables. Whereas formerly the legs descended to a point below the ankle, enere to be snugly tucked in and over ldpped by five inches of sock, now they end abruptly at point one-halI inch south of the kneecap. This subtle attack by the men on the textile industry ante dated the accommodation of the petti- coat. the ostracism of the sleeves, the cutting dead of the braids and trimmings and the revision upward and sidewise of the skirt by the women. In word there is reason to believe that woman took her cue, as usual, from mere man who, though more original, suffers from a vision blind ed by beam when emphasizing the mote of the sweeter half of humanity"
 Thus the lance of the champion of nas-
 Let ..;l less, the lists needing to be opened afresh and-the end is not yet. A new order may be the outcome, its members filled with enthusiasm for the petticoat from plume to spur, answering to the Order of the Garter across the sea.

From the Excelsior Springs Call.
 Probably the most sensational and the most uncalled for incident in the theatri- cal history of Excelsior Springs occurred last night when Mrs. W. E. Culhane of Culhane's Comedians, appearing at the Airdome, informed the audience in no very mild terms that they were all "brainless idiots, numskulls, ignor- amuses," and applied other choice de- scriptve terms to those who had gone to the playhouse to see "The Lure of the City" The company had up to that time been pleasing audiences and such an oc- currenee is to be regretted. An un- bridled exhibition of temper is at any time unpleasant, but was in this case en- tirely inexcusable.
 It was in the midst of an exciting scene in the second act that Mrs. Culhane tensely ejaculated, "I am still your hus- hand" Git should have been wife) and a wave of laughter passed over the house. Excelsior Springs audiences are generally very courteous and there was quiet in moment, it being naturally expected that the scene would go on without further in terruption But it was then the tirade started and the great wonder was that the entire audience did not leave In the face of such insulting remarks It was here again, however, that the crowd showed it's culture, listening in amaze ment to a string of talk, the like Of which has never been heard from stage here. and when the other players were permitted to resume the play, they re- ceived the attention that had previously been given. even greeting Mrs. Culhane's final return to the stage with only slight laugh

Alabama Republicans

The New York Tribune is unkind
 hen it speaks of Alabama republi-
 ms. Editor Reid is, it is true, also
 .mbassador Reid, who is a part of
 le administration, and yet his paper
 not inclined to show great respect
 Alabama republicans
 "The republican politicians" it said
 scently, "in Alabama are girding neir loins for the only kind of con- est in, which they shine-that for he control of the delegation which is go to republican national con- ention. If they should give half as iuch time to fighting the common nemy as they give to fighting mong themselves there might be ome appreciable evidence now and hen that an opposition party existed n Alabama. And later it said, Tt would be we'll for the Alabama re- ,ublicans to drop factionalism and ny to build up a single united or yanization. Such an organization ould go to a national convention con- ident of being treated there with en- ire respect"
 The Tribune is not complimentary. It fails to see, however, the real sit nation A strong republican party would be regarded as calamity in this state. A party just large enough to fill the offices with small reserve in the background of men who want no offices, however much they may desire privilege or two, is the ideal republican patty in this state, and re- rublicans want no greater numbers. The Tribune simply does not under. stand the situation. It is asking for something that no one wants in this state, least of all the republicans.

Death of John ". Tomlinson

The unexpected death of Col. John w. Tomlinson following an operation for appendicitis takes away warm hearted, popular citizen who was ever ready to serve his community and his state. He was one of the most highly esteemed and successful members of the Alabama bar. All though his practice was extensive he was never too busy to answer call to public duty, and in his eagerness to be of service to the people he often made great sacrifices of time and money. Colonel Tomlinson was firm believer in the capacity and integrity of William Jennings Bryan, and throughout three presidential cam paigns was one of the Nebraskan's intimate advisers. At the time of his death he was a member of the demo- cratic national committee.
 But Colonel Tomlinson's public &C., tivities were not confined to politics. He felt a lively interest in business affairs and was recognized as one of this city's upbuilders. He was an ardent friend of the public school system and was serving as a member of Birmingham's Board of Education. His engaging personality made him a valued comrade and favorite in so- ciety.
 Gut off in middle life when there were apparently twenty years of ac- tive work before him renders the loss that Alabama has sustained all the greater. A patriotic citizen has fall en and his death will be widely lamented.
