This Is a very trying season of the yea

day , and all of them do not enjoy tha
season of rest. As an exchange says , the
wlso farmer knows that during tprlng's
work and plowing tlmo , his teams wll
run down rapidly unless they have extra
and care , the latter Is qulto as Important
as the former. It costa tnoro to restore
run-down animals than to keep them in
jood condition , while a toara well fed and

and barley , mixed with aomo corn , shonld
constitute the grain food for farm or car-
iago horses , especially In warm weather.
Every ono familiar with the tough spirit

Iho Proposed New Institution at
Washington to uottun on a.
Grand Scale.
Tbo acopa of the Catholic University
to bo founded in Washington ia surprls-
ini as it becomes known. The instltn-
tion 17111 ba called the Amorlcin Univer
sity. Its profeaaora will bo sought in
Europe , and none but men of world-wide
reputation will ba ottered chain. Bishop
Ireland , who has had principal charge
thus far of the preliminary work of selecting -
ing a alto and drawing np the charter
which will ba asked of congress next
winter , says that in the choice of the
faculty the matter of religion will have
no part. There will be a thoolrglcil
school , over which It la rnmored Bishop
Spauldlng of Peoria will preside. There
will also bo schools for law. medi
cine , science , history , philosophy , and all
the rare and far advanced branches of
instruction known rather to instructions
on the continent than to the few that
wo call nniverilliea in America. The
men who will occupy chaiis In thrse
nchools will bo eolccted without regard to
ration , and wo may see a faculty so
conglomerated that oven Bob Ingersoll ,
If ho had the brains and systematic cnl
tnro of a scholar , wonld not deem out of
of place. The site choeou Is the old
Mlddloton estate , east of the Soldiers'
Ucnio , and a part of that beauti
ful rolling plateau which is Wash
ington's largest and neat beautiful
park. It contains fifty-eleven acres. Near
It is a pretty llttlo station on the Metro
politan branch of the Baltimore & Po
tomac railroad , The general elope faces
the Bladembnrg turnpike , which , by a
iloaaant dtlvo of two miles pist Glen-
rood cemetery and Edgwood , the old
jbaso estate , takes ono Into town. The
niilding will begin early next year. The
irst structure will not bo the largest ,
but will cost $150,000. , Each ttudent
will be provided with a suite of rooms
fully furnished , and there will bo a club
jomniona on the grounds , where the beat
board may bo had. No student will be
admitted to the medical or law school
except on a diploma from another school
of accredited standing. The work in.
tended In science , especially in chemistry ,
engineering and abstruse mathematics ,
will bo abreast with that done In the
leading Gorman universities. The en
dowment now in sight la nearly $1,000-
000. The founders will not bo content
with a support insufficient to produce an
Income of from ? 300,000 to $500,000 a
year , which Is the aggregate out-go for
njr nno of the leading universities of
England and Germany , The sihrlcs of
the professors will tango from $5,000 to
$10,000 , , and there will go with them the
board and lodgings for such no may d o-
sire to take up residence In the univer
sity buildings , Early In the coming fall
a committee will bo sent to Europe ,
charged with the duty of Inviting schol

Died Fighting.
City of Mexico Two llepublicj.
A wild ttory comes in from Perlban ,
Mlchoacan. Three well-mounted and
well-armed men stopped at an inn to
p&oa the night. The woman who kept
the place advieed the authorities that
three suspicions men bad called at her
houce. The protident of the city coun
cil tnd the judge , with a few citizens ,
went to the house to ice the suiplclona
characters. But the three men locked
themselves In tholr room and refused to
bo interviewed. A crowd of citlzjua
collected , but nhon they appeared they
were greeted with a volley from the thro
men. An assault was then made on thi
room , and the prisoners , breaking out o
the door , fought their way through th
crowd , using their revolvers and dagger *
The crowd followed closely after the fa
glllvos and many shots were exchanged
Finally ono of the follows dropped

ired on his pursuers , A. tocond fell
'ow steps farther on , fighting bird. The
third , sheltering himself behind a rock ,
made It hot for his purauors , and though
often wounded , fought on with scarcely
enough strength to draw h's ' rifle to hla
honldor. Called on to surrender , ho
mly ropllod with a ballot , which relieved
ho president cf his hat. The crowd
losed in around him as the death mlsl
was passing over his oyes. Still ho tried

came with her mother to Amhcrat , where
ho lived with her unolo. Prof. Tyler , of
Amhorat college. In 1870 in company

ays later , gave a glowing account of the
woddlng , which was a most elaborate ono.
'wo marriage ceremonies were per-
ormod , the first by a Raman Catholic
irleat , and the second by Rector Allen ,
f the Episcopal church. The brldo was
; iven away by the Hon. Lucius Bolt-
rood , and Mrs. Bottwood officiated as
irldesmaid. After the wedding the
> rldogroom famished his friends with a
hoico collation of cake , wlno , and cigars
t the Amherst house. After the mar-
lago the count and his wife traveled
.hrough . the country , living in the best
tylo , his wife furnishing the money to

epoated in sover.il European citiea. The
sount scattered money Hko a princo. By
its testimony in court the other day it
was proven that ho had spent some $50- ,
00 from his wife's estate , besides $150-
00 advanced by his mother-in-law. Ho
was _ at ono tlmo engaged in a money-
risking schamo known aa the "Rook

American railroads. For two or throe
ears the Now York Central and the
'ennsylvouia Central have each run a
Dcciol through fast train known as the
Chicago Limited , " which made the trip
n shorter tlmo than wan over before
mo nil. Tbo Pennsylvania line recently
mocked elf an hour and a half of the
lorlod previously allot'cd , and the Now
rork Central baa now followed suit ,
loreafter , therefore , one baa his choice
jotweon two trains , which start at 0 and
:50 : a. m. , and promlao to roach Chicago
t the same hour the following morning ,
From Now York to Chicago by the
'ennajlvanta route is a distance of 012
miles , by the Now York Central 080
niles. Ostensibly these trains cover the
( stance In exactly 24 honraaj the hands
n the clock should occupy the tame po-
Ition when the traveller reaches Chicago
s when ho loft New York the previous
morning Really , the space of time ia
wenty-fivo hours , as the train lo&vos
lero by "Eastern tlmo , " and arrive In
Chicago by "Central time. " which is
ixty mlnutoa slower. Tbo average
peed by the Pennsylvania line it thus
liuoat precisely 36 miles per hour ,
while by the moro northern route it is
t ) 1 5 milea. This latter speed la the
ilt'hobt over attempted for a long dls-
anco In the United States , and is conao-
uontly an achievement which commands
otlce.
Ono only gets an adequate Idea of the
real progress which onr railroads have
uade In the matter of speed during the
ast dozen or fifteen yaara by stumbling
over eomo old traveler/ guide , and com-
taring the tlmo tables then In vogue with
ho present oehodulea. Such a contraut
a worth making for a few of the moro
mportaot routes. In 1870 the fastest
r&ln frrm Now York to Philadelphia
consumed three hours and fifteen min
utes , and oven then left one of the out
skirts of the town ; 1885 the ninety miles
tro covered In a couple of hours , and the
.rdvolor la landed In the heart of Phila
delphia , Fifteen years ago the ahorteai
time between Now York and Boston was
eight hours aud twenty mitmtea ; now the
trip is made In but aix hours , la 1870 it
took at the lea& eight hours and forty
minutes to go from New York to Wash
ington ; alx hours and five minutes now
anffico. Fifteen years ago St. Lculs wa
forty s'x ' hours from Now York , and No' '
Orleans o'ghty-iir boors nway ; notr I
requires only thirty-four hours to rtaor
St. Lotm , and but fifty hours tor th
trip to New Orleans ,
Thoio comparisons are sufficient to
Illustrate the extent of the progress
which baa been for the moat cart so grad
ual that its importance is not easily ap
preciated except by anch a contrast. Im
provements in roadbed , the abolition of
; rado crossings , and better rolling stock
mvo been the chief agencies in bringing
ibout the change. The cutting down of
inio has bean accompanied by other im
; rovomcnt , which ndd no lets to the
omfort of the traveler. The cm nowa
days ran moro smoothly than formerly ,
and the marked diminution in jolting la n
very decided Belief In a long journey , A
batter system of ballasting the tracks has
bom accomplished toward securing the
admission of fresh air Into a car without
bringing In a cloud of smoke and chidora ,
The comfort with which a thouaatd miles
can bo travoriod on snch a train n.1 the
"Chicago limited , " with oaaily tunning
parlor and sleeping ens ami excellent
meals served after a chilizad fashion in a
dining oar , was hardly dreamed of fifteen
years n o. Even the rallroid catiug
housa of hateful memory at lust shows
algns of getting out of Itj old dytpep
tlo ruts. The experienced traveler reports
ports each year a largo number of places
whore tolerable and even good meals are
to bo procured , whllo a few alas ! too
few rallroid companies are making thla
branch of tholr service worthy of high
praise. Some enterprising companies
are also building stations which , so far
from being an oilonco to the eye , oven
have claims to beauty. Nothing coald
well bo raoro depressing than the average
depot of a generation ago ; now there are
nt least a few lines on which the stations
ind the grounds about them ate grateful
to the weary traveler.
But , after all , a beginning only has yet
joen madoi The fastest trains are yet
; oo slow. It still takes inach longer
ban it should to pass between Now York
ind Boston. By the shortest route the
distance is bat 213 miles , aud the tlmo
jonsumed ought to bo nearer four hours
; han six will bo oouio day , wo do not
ionbt. Almost ao much should be said
regarding the 228 mlloa between Now
i'ork and Washington. Creditable aa Is
; ho now schedule of the western roads ,
; wonty-four , or r lhor twenty-five ,
lours are still too many for a distance of
ess. than a thousand miles. A man ought
; o bo able ta spon 1 the whole forenoon ,
at least , in Now York , acd still reach
Chicago by the opouiug of business
lours the next morning. The high
est rate of speed required to meet those
ienunds wonld not equal that already
reaohad by many trains in Great Britain.
Dho Great Northern express from Loa-
3on to Manchester requires but four
loura and fifteen minutes , although the
listance M 203 ralloj , or nearly aa great
11 that between Now York and Boston ;
ffhllo the slowast exproasaa over thla
English road travel moro rapidly than
he quickest trains to Boston. The fastest
rain between London and Glasgow
: overs the 440 miles in 10 hears and 20
nlnntos , or at an average speed of 42t
nlles per hour , at a rate which if main"
alnod between Now York and Chicago
Tonld cat off between throe and four
lours from even the now schedule.
The fact fs the American public is just
nvaken'ng ' to a sense of the improve-
nonts possible In travelling by rail. As
imo becomes constantly worth more
noney , the demand for faster trains will
ncreaoo , while , as the rawness of
lational youth wears off , the utility of
> eauty in the accessories of travel will
locome moro manifest. Encouraging as
s the progress that ban been made in the
ast fifteen years , it will be strange if the
lext fifteen years do not bring still
.rcater changes. The traveler in 1000
vlll doubtless look back upon his prode-
ossor o 1885 with as mnch pity as the
atter to-day bestows upon him of 1870.
A. wissrEHN MAN AT DINNEK.
low Bo Succeeded in Getting the
"Walters to Wait on Him.
Thoao who had not "tipped" the wait-
irs received but tardy attention. It
hanced that ono of this claa ? , a big ,
) road-shouldered fellow , with huge
rhlakors , a regular bsaso-profundo voice ,
ouuh clothing , aud a head of hair like a
jnfl'ilo's frontlet , swaggering In , and
vlth a free and Independent air , took an
moccnpled seat at the dinner table.
It chanced that there figured upon the
jill ot faro that day roast bear moat ,
vhloh was served as a sort of rarity , and
ust M the newcomer sat down , some was
n dared by n i arty of three gentlemen
jpposito , who wera prompily served.
"Say , waiter , " said tbo newcomer ,
'bring me nome 'er that b'ar meal. "
"Yessir , " said the white jacketed at-
ondant , who left , but gave nouttber
iced to the order.
The western man s t qaiolly In his
) lace for five minute ; , the chairs on
Ither s'do ' of him having botn im-
nedlatoly turned up lest come guest
qnally objectionable to the head waiter
night get In at that point. Aftnr sitting
ivo minutes he grabbed hold of a waiter
vho was passing behind him.
' Say , have you got any b'ar meat for
linnet ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"Well , bring mo some , end quick , too ,
or I'm bungrler'n a hound. "
Away wont the waller , bat ho didn't
eturo , and the color began to mount in-
o the face of the backwoodsman. Heave
; ave a third order , which was treated
vlth the eamo sublime contempt. Pa-
lenco could no farther go ; ho seized
lold of the heavy dining plates that were
aid on cither side of him , and daahed
> no alter the other down violently upon
he tiblo with aoraah that smashed theme
, o pieces , brought the head waiter and
, wo or three others to him in an Instant ,
tnd started some of hia immediate nolgh-
Dors to tholr feet In alarm ,
"Look hayr , " said the caueo of this
vlarm , seizing the head waiter by the
irm , " kin I got waited on In this hyar
ictol and hot what I kin pay for ? "
"Certainly , sir ; yes , air , " said the
icad waiter , squirming Ineffectually In
ho gratp of the big left hand of the
westerner that heli him In an iron grip.
"Wall , then , do you see that ? " slapping
down a $10 gold piece with his light hand
acd then throwing back Iho uppjr part
of bis coat , from one inside pcckot of
which protraded a revolver and from the
other the handle of a huge 1 > jwlo knife ,
"thar's rny money and hero's my weap
ons ; ef you don't have a plate o' that b'ar '
meat hero in two minutes I'll rub come
of yon out. "
Released from his grip , the head waiter
retired and in a moment more a plate of
the desired delicacy wan placed before
hlir.
"Gentlemen , I apologize for Inter
rupting your dinner , bat I bad to do
authin ta get waited on by these iuforna"
niggbra. Won't jou take a drink will
me ? "
It was tbonght best to humor him ,
