VERY FAST TIME
NEW WORLD'S RECORD MADE BY
THE HORSE DILLON.
GOOD CONDITIONS FOR RACE
Defore a Large Crowd the Fleet-Foot-ed
Animal Clips Over Two Seconds
From Best Time Gcit So Smooth
as to Deceive All Spectators.
READVILLE, Mass. Before a great
crowd of spectators at Readvllle on
Monday, and with track and weather
conditions perfect, Lou Dillon trotted
a mile In two minutes, a new world's
record. So that no breeze might In
terfere, Millard Sanders, driver of the
great mare, brought out the daughter
of Sidney Dillon for the attempt early
in the day.
For pacemakers there were two run
ning horses hitched to road carts,
Peggy from Paris, driven by "Doc"
Tanner, and Carrie Nation, driven by
Scott McCox.
v The first score was fruitless, Lou
Dillon making a break just before
reaching the wire. On the second at
tempt, however, the word was given,
Starting Judge Walker rang his bell,
but Tanner nodded or him to say "go"
and turning to Sanders, called to hi I:
to come along.
Tanner kept Peggy from Paris di
rectly In front of the peerless chest
nut trotter while McCoy lay at her
wheel. In this way the trio went to
'the quarter pole in thirty and one
quarter seconds. With never a skip
Lou Dillon went so smooth-gaited
down the back stretch as to lead
those not timing the mile to believe
that her speed was not alarmingly
fast.
The half was clicked off in 1:00.
Around the turn to the three-quarters
pole the clip quickened, the third
quarter being in 30 seconds, mak
ing that mark of her journey in 1:31.
Faster and faster came Tanner with
the runner and right with him trot
ted the handsome California-bred
mare. Sanders was sitting perfectly
still, but McCoy was crying aloud to
his runner to cheer on Lou Dillon.
To the amazement of all the quarter
was driven in twenty-nine seconds,
thus making the mile in the wonder
ful time of two minutes.
When Sanders jagged the mare back
to the wire, those who had witnessed
the performance leaped to their feet
and sent forth cheer after cheer. Lou
Dillon apparently was as fresh as
though she had only been out for a
jogging exercise. Sanders said he ful
iy believed that before the season
closes he will drive the mare in 1:59
or better.
SANTA ROSA, Cal. Lou Dillon
was bred and raised on the Santa
Rosa stock farm. It is said that when
a colt Lou Dillon was offered for sale
for $150, with no takers. She is by
Sidney Dillon, out of Lou Milton, both
local animals.

sadors of the powers have again drawn

of massacres at Salonica, and have
demanded the adoption of immediate
and effective measures for the pro
tection of the foreign consulates and
the subjects of the various powers.
Letters received here from Uskub

RELIANCE AHEAD
AGAIN SHOWS ITS HEELS TO LIP
TON'S CH ALLENGR.
THE BRITISH BOAT IMPROVES
Belief of Many Experts is that the
Cup is Safe As Pretty and Hard
Fought Contest as Ever Sailed Off
Sandy Hook.
Reliance Start. 11:00:36; finish.
2:15:30; elapsed time, 3:14:54; cor
rected time, 3:14:54.
Shamrock III Start, 11:02:10; fin
ish. 2:20:10; elapsed time, 3:18:10;
corrected time. 3:16:13.
Reliance wins over time allowance
of 1:19.
NEW YORK In a glorious whole
sale breeze, over a triangular course,
ten miles to the leg. the fleet-footed
cup defender, Reliance, again showed
its heels to Sir Thomas Lipton's chal
lenger, taking the second race of the
cup series of 1903 by the narrow mar
gin of one minute and nineteen sec
onds. It was as pretty and as hard
fought a contest as has ever been
sailed off Sandy Hook, and had the
wind not fallen during the last ten
minutes the record for the course,
3:12:15, made by Columbia two years
ago in its memorable race against
Shamrock II, would have been broken.
As it was Reliance sailed the thirty
miles within two minutes and thirty
nine seconds of the record, which
speaks wonders for its speed in the
wind that was blowing. Reliance's
victory, narrow as it was, would have
been even smaller had not Captain
Wringe, the skipper of the British
boat, bungled the start, sending his
craft over the line nineteen seconds
after the last gun and handicapping
it to that extent. At every point of
sailing the defender's superiority was
demonstrated. It gained one minute
and fifty-one seconds in windward
work, forty seconds on the run to
the second mark and forty-five sec
onds on the close reach for home.
Based on the magnificent showing
It has made in the two races already
sailed, it is the belief of many ex
perts that the cup is safe and that it
will take something better than Fife's
latest creation to get it.
An assemblage of excursion vessels
almost as large as that of last Satur
day poured down through the Narrows
and out into the broad Atlantic Tues
day to witness the vanishing glory of
the challenger.
Russian Demands Presented.
CONSTANTINOPLE The Russian
demands on Turkey, growing out of thc
recent murder of the Russian consul
at Monastir, M. RostkovsKi, were for
mally presented at the Yildiz palace
yesterday. Notwithstanding the warn
ing which Russia addressed to the Bul
garian government it is generally be
lieved here that the Russian naval
demonstration in Turkish waters will
dangerously encourage the Macedoni
ans, who, it is asserted, will interpret
Russia's action as being the first step
towards intervention in their behalf.
Breaks Globe Trotting Record.
SEATTLE, Wash. James Willis
Sayre, the globe trotter, reached Se
attle at 4:15 Wednesday afternoon. At
5 o'clock Mr. Say.re had been gone
from Seattle exactly fifty-four days,
eight hours and fifty-five minutes. The
best previous record, made by Charles
Cecil Fitzmorris, was sixty days, thir
teen hours and twenty-nine minutes.
Thus Mr. Sayre has broken the record
more than six days.
Longest Fence in the World.
Helena. Mont. The fence about the
Fort Belknap reservation, which is
forty miles long and sixty miles wide,
has been finished. It probably is the
longest fence in the world and has
taken years in building. The plan is
to protect the flocks and herds of the
Groventres and Assiniboines from in
trusion, as well as to keep them from
straying.
Veteran Actor Buried.
CLEVELAND, O. The funeral of
the late veteran actor, John A. Ells
ler, who died suddenly in New York
last Friday, was held here Tuesday.
The services were conducted by Dean
Williams of Trinity Protestant Epis
copal cathedral and the Holy Rod
commandery of Masons. Floral trib
utes from the Actors- club of New
York and from individual players
were received. The interment was in
Lake View cemetery .
Senator Hanna is III.
CLEVELAND, O. Senator M. A.
Hanna, who has but recently returned
from a several weeks' vacation, was
taken so ill at his office Tuesday as
to require the services of a physician.
The physician stated after an exam
ination that Mr. Hanna was suffering
from stomach trouble, and advised
his immediate relaxation of business
and retirement to his home. Senator
Hanna immediately left for his
home.
The Socialists Are Divded.
BERLIN. The socialists are enti
tled to have appointed from their
party one of the three vice presidents
of the reichstag on account of their
Increased representation, and the
other parties appear willing to con
cede this. The socialist leaders dffer
as to whether they ought to accept
the office, because it would limit their
complete freedom of obstruction and
opposition. Herr Bebel takes this
view.
TURKS SLAY WOMEN.
Wholesale Massacre Reported from
Twenty Villages.
SALONICA. European Turkey. An
insurgent movement Is afoot In the
vilnyet of Salonica. It is feared that
it threatens Vodena, forty-six miles
from here, Salonica and other towns.
Well Informed persons here share in
the general disquietude. Large bands
are reported to have been organized
by Bulgarians, who, it is expected, at
a given signal, will resort to general
Incendiarism. The Turkish popula
tion is resolved, should great disturb
ances occur, to exterminate all the
Bulgarians in this city. Consequent
ly, a number of Bulgarian residents
are leaving Salonica.
VIENNA. The Neue Freie Presse's
Constantinople correspondent tele
graphs that a band of Bulgarians has
attacked the Turkish town of Urgas,
south of Iniada, on the east coast of
Turkey, and has blown up the gov
ernment buldings with dynamite. It
is reported that 200, persons were
killed.
STRENGTHENS CHAMBERLAIN.
Death of Salisbury Contributes to Tar
. iff Policy.
PARIS The death of Lord Salis
bury made considerable impression
here. Although the late statesman
had retired from politics, the feeling
prevails here that his disappearance
will contribute to strengthen the po
sition of Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain, which circumstance is not
thought likely to promate friend
ship between the two countries.
The ability, prudence and moderation
of the former premier are frankly
recognized, though some of his sar
castic utterances are recalled. It is
acknowledged that while he firmly up
held Great Britain's interests, at the
same time he always strove to pre
vent a rupture with France, and It is
admitted that the Fashoda incident
would have been far more dangerous

CREAT MAN GONE
DEATH WINS THE STRUGGLE AT
HATFIELD HOUSE.
LORD SALISBURY IS NO MORE
End Comes Peacefully to Former
British. Premier Unconscious to
the Last Members of Family Gath
ered at Hatfield House.
LONDON. Lord Salisbury died
peaceully at 9:05 Saturday night.
During the past forty-eight hours the?
end was seen to be inevitable, tho
great frame of England's ex-premlcr
being sustained only by the constant
use of oxygen, which at last becarat
ineffectual.
The village of Hatfield, which still
retains many features of the feudal
period, was filled with anxious resi
dents awaiting ine news of bis lord
ship's demise. The great Hatfield
house, hidden behind the screen of
pine trees, was lighted at. every win
dow, and gave no sign of the ap
proaching fatality. Groups of watch
era clustered under the Elzabethan
arch and of the lodge gates anxious
ly questioning each latest passer
from Hatfield house.
Finally the news came, when a hat
less servant rushed down the grav
eled roadway saying aa he passed,
"He has gone," and then disappeared
in the church. Soon thereafter the
bell from the tower above tolled slow
ly and the villagers at the street cor
ners uncovered in acknowledgement
of the massing of their neighbor and
friend, England's great statesman.
Viscount Cranborne, who now as
sumes the title of marquis of Salis-i
bury, immediately notified King Ed
ward and Queen Alexandra, the
Prince and Princess of Wales and
others, including Lord Edward Cecil,
the soldier son of Lord Salisbury,
who is now In Egypt, and whose was
the only child of the marquis absent
from the deathbed. Soon messages
of condolence began coming in and
the little telegraph office at Hatfield
was swamped with unprecedented
busness.
The death of Lord Salisbury oc
curred on the fifteenth anniversary
of his entry into a public life as a
member of the house of commons for
Stamford.
When death became imminent the
attending physician summoned the
waiting members of the family, who
gathered at the bedside and took fare
well of the dying man, who, however,
was unconscious of their presence.
It is understood that Lord Salis
bury recently expressed a wish to be
buried beside his wife at Hatfield.
A proposal will undoubtedly be made
to bury him at Westminster abiey
but this will be declined by the rela
tives in accordance with his lord
ship's wishes.
THE BEST BOAT WINS.
First Blood for American Reliance in
International Contest.
NEW YORK In a splendid twelve
to fifteen knot breeze, over a wind
ward and leeward course of thirty
miles, the gallant sloop Reliance Sat
urday beat Shamrock III In command
ing style bv exactly nine minutes ac
tual time, or seven minutes and three
seconds, cfter deducting the one min
ute and fiftv-seven seconds which the
defender concedes to Sir Thomas Lip
ton's third challenger on account of
Reliance's larger sailing plan as at
present measured.
It was a royal water fight for the
ancient trophy which carries with it
the yachting supremacy of the world,
and by a strange coincidence the first
victory in the cup series of 1903 oc
curred on the fifty-second anniversary
of the day on which the old schooner
America captured it in her famous
race around the Isle of Wight. Re
liance beat the British boat three min
utes and twenty-four seconds in the
thresh to windward and five minutes
and thirty-six seconds in the run down
the wind.
More Rioting in Crotia.
VIENNA A fresh outbreak of riot
ing has occurred In Crotia. At Za

bration of the birthday of Emperor
Francis Joseph today, 1,000 peasants

a Hungarian banner. The rioters were
resisted by the gendarmerie, who shot
three men and wounded many others.
At Komesina the peasants pillaged
stores and killed two persons.

perience at a recent visit, to Boston.
He say some boys trotting down Tre
mont street and keeping close togeth

Chug! Chug!" and another occasion
ally said "Toot!" The bishop asked
what they were doing, ar.d was in
formed they were playing "automo
bile." The one saying "chug" was
the engine, the one saying "toot" the
chauffeur, and the one saying nothing
was a friend taking a ride. The ant?
moved on, and the bishop noticed a
fourth boy running along about fifty
feet behind the others, and asked him

President Ixiubet, in calling on the
Duke of Cambridge, held converse
with a prince who remembers the
days of Louis XVIII and Charles X,

the ruling factor in France. More
over, the Duke of Cambridge fought
alongside the French troops in tho

GOT TO
Have Sharp Brains Nowadays or Drop
Back.
The man of to-day no matter what
his calling, needs a sharp brain and
to get this he needs food that not only
gives muscle and strength Lut brain
and nerve power as well.
A carpenter and builder of Mar
luette, Mkh., who is energetic and
wants to advance in his business,
read an article about food in a re
ligious paper and in speaking of bis
experience he said: "Up to three
rear ago I bad not been able to study
cr use my thinking powers to any ex
tent. There was something lacking
and I krow now that it was due to
the fact that my food was not rebuild
ing my brain.
"About this time I began the vtm
of the condensed food Grape-Nuts and
the result has been I can think and
plan with some success. It has not
only rebuilt my brain until it Is
stronger and surer and more ac
tive, but my muscles are also harder
and more firm where they used fc
be loose and soft and my stomach
is now In perfect condition. I can
ndure more than twice the amount
of fatigue and my nights' rest always
completely restores me. In other
words I am enjoying life, and I at
tribute it to the fact that I have found
a perfect food." Name given by Po
