Ivlouuis PAUK , N. Y. , August 3l.--Thirty
thousand persons wcro present to-day to
witness the close of a very successful race
meeting. All interest centered in the great
White- Plains handicap for two-year-olds.
El Rin Roy was for the second time to battle
with some crack youngsters. The starter
dropped" his Hag on one of the prettiest
starts imaginable. Every horse was in mo
tion. W. G. Morris had a slight advantage.
Ruporta was second , St. Carlo third , and
the others so closol.v , bunched that it was
Impossible to Dick them out. Whan they
cumo in sight at the bond of the hill they
were stretched across the track like a troop
of cavalry. Ruperta was the leader , fol
lowed by Cnyuga , Juno 'Day and .El Rio Key.
The latter appeared to bo badly pocketed.
The leaders bore over until it appeared
as if he would be shut off. With a
, Winch ell got him clear and in a couple
of jumps ho was in front. Then ho becan to
take thjngs easy. Suddenly Ruperta came
with a rush that made the backers of the
favorite quiver. She was gaining at every
stride. In fact , for a moment she was ahead.
But U'incholl was equal to the occasion , and
with onUcutof Ins whip the gallant chestnut
was iiKiiin in front and bnil milled another to
his unbroken list ot victories. Ruperta was
but n head behind , four lengths from St.
Carlo. The time was I : ! 1 , ono si-fond better
than thq'record. Lcichton was fourth. The
distance'of the race wai three-quarters of a
mile. Summary of other races :

INDIAN I.JkND fllAimS.
The Indian ofllco hero is Just now engaged
In looking Into some land frauds which are
hardly of the same character as those xvhleh
Mr. Sparks xvas so particular In pointing out
during his administration of the land olllcc.
A very peculiar caso.is the Immediate cause
of the Indian ofllco's inquiry. It seems that
some txvo years ago R. L. Leathern-cod xvas
appointed agent for the eastern band of the
Cherokees , located in xvcstorn northern Car
olina. I.ast July Mr. Leathorgood's services
were dispensed xvith by the department and
he xvas succeeded by. n Cherokee. This
noxv agent reports that jLoathcrgood immedi
ately after his dismissal from the service
entered upon and took up ISO acres of land
xvithin the Indian 'reservation. Less than ,
txvovcok8 ufter his entry lie had by some
means unexulained , secured a patent for the' ,
lands irom-tho staUo. Since that time there ,
liavo been n croat many entries of Indian ,
land by xvhites on this < resor\ration , and the'
Indian ofllco is anxious to knoxv by xvhat
right the state assuuios the responsibility of
disposing of Indian-lands without any con
sultation xvhatovorKxvith < the federal authori

TUB HUMOBIST OF THE HOUSE.
Congressman Aif6n'"df Mississippi is the
Tunny man of the house. Congressman
Dave Henderson 'of Joxva , a candidate for
the speakcrship , is'of n' rather serious turn
of mind. Allen 14 ' & rod-hot bourbon demo
crat ; Henderson Is 'a 'red-hot stalxvart , un
compromising republican. These two men
are the most intimate personal friends.
Allen fought in the confederate nrmy as a
private , and says ho is > the only man south
of Aluson's and Dixon's line xvho is willing
to acknowledge that ho xvas anything less
than v. colonel. Henderson , xvho xvas born
in Scotland , commanded one of the Iowa
regiments in the Held , and left u portion of
liis loft , leg there.
The other day Allen xvont to Hendcrsoa
and oxpiessed a fear thut a carpet-banger
republican xvould be appointed to his local' '
[ lostofllcu. Henderson said that First As
sistant Postmaster General Ulnrhson xvas an
Ultimate- friend of his ana thut ho xvould suo'
that no foreigners were introduced into
ollieial position in Allen's toxvn. Allen and
Henderson xvont doxvn to the postonico de
partment und had an interview xvith Clark-
son. Allen sail that ho xvould not object to
the appointment of any republican In the
toxvn to the postofllco , but ho did not want a
man outside of ills congressional district
; ivon the place. ( Jlarkson smiled and said
[ hat ha xvould try to find a republican in
Allen's toxvn. Allen loft satisfied. The ap
pointment xvas made to-day , und the name
ivas that of a clergyman xvho hails from
Doxva. Mr. Clarkson took pains to ascertain
after Mr. Allen's visit that there xvas not a
single republican in Mr. Allen's toxvn.
THE I'UESIDKNT XVEAU8 THE O. A. H. IIUTTON.
Some of the veterans xvho served on the
union sldo In the war , are commenting over
the fact that President Harrison Invariably
xvcars the grand army button on the loft
lapel of hi * coat. So many public man xvho
xvoro ofllcers are we.iring the button of the
Loyal Lct'ion , and practically discarding
that of the Grand Army ; that this notion of
the mcHldcnt has caused commendation
from those xvho served in the ranks. In the
senate and house of representatives the
Loyal Legion button on the republican side
lira about us thick as blackberries m July.
The Grand Army insignia is not so generally
xvorn. Some of the representatives nro very
obtrusive in their display of military decora
tions , xvhilo others equally entitled to xvear
them do not avail themselves of their privilege -
ego in this respect. Since tno Harrison ad
ministration came in there has been a
marked increase in the number of Grand
Army buttons displayed by thn clerks xvho ,
served in the xvur und uro holding positions
in the several departments. During the
Cleveland administration it xvas a rare thing
tosee one of these buttons on the coat of a
clerk. 'Iho mania for xx-earlng badges has
broken out outside of the Grand Army und
Loyal Legion members since March 4.
Every school boy and school girl xvho has
xvon a med.il for superiority in studies
shoxv them upon thn slit-litest
provocation. There are quito u number of
\Vnshingtonians xvho have received decora
tions from foreign governments. Thosojjen-
tlomcn uro content to'wour them only upon
publio occasions.cir 'tho ' custom still
prevails at the oRlblal receptions next win tor ,
the cast room of the white house xvill look
something like tho'window of a modern

Half a mile cast of Elmhurst the train had to

The night was very".foggy , nnd txvo dan

At any rateho , and his flrnman , xvhoso names

The lloaHon Given By Belle Priest
Kor Atlcniptlne Huloldo.
Another immo has been added to the list
of attempted suicides. This time it is Miss
13ello Priest , of 40TJ < North Seventeenth
street , who tried to shufllo off thU mortal
coil via the morphine route. She swallowed
about ton grains of the drug yesterday after
noon , but the sl/o of the dose saved her life.
A physician was called , who administered an
emotla und.soon had his patient safely on the
return from the river Styx.
The cause of nil this commotion la a most
unfortunate state of affairs. Miss Priest
keeps roomers and boarders at the above
number , and tick * mother is in the same
usiuess at 405 } on the same street. Tlio
bono of contention is a younger sister of
Miss Priest , who prefers to live with liar
sister , much against the will of the elder
lady. The llttlo irlrl has , on many occas
ions , been the victim of her mother's
wrath , nnd yesterday was no exception
to the usual rulo. A severe whipping was
administered , but not without a strong pro
test from tbo older sister. Hot words fol
lowed , the exact substance of which no ono
knows , but it Is understood that among other
tilings the old lady repeated remarks which
uho had tnado at various other times , reflect
ing severely upon her elder daughter's re
spectability.- any rate , Mrs. Priest sal
lied forth to the pollco court and tried to got
n warrant lor her daughter's arrest on the
charge of keeping a house of ill-fame. She
was not able to make any positlvo state
ments and the warrant was refused.
Tbo neighbors are of the opinion that Mrs.
Priest 1s slightly demented , and Btato that
there Is no ground for her statements reflect
ing on her daughter's Character.
Mrs. Priest was scon and stated that she
had coma hero from Bhonandoab , la. , about
four weeks ago , and had at once commenced
taking roomers. Bho made a number of
statements regarding her daughter , and the
people who are rooming with her daughter
who are all married people , by tbo way , but
It was evident from her conversation ana
general manner that she Is not responsible
for what she gays.

Grand Marshal Clarkson mot nil the sub-
mnrshals of the Merchants' parade at the
Mlllard hotel last night.
Mr. Klorstoail moved that so much ni par-
tains to the procession on wheels should
move In single Hie.
This brought forth considerable discussion.
Mr. Garnoau said that lastyoar It had taken
two hours for the procoiuon to pass n given
point , and ho thought this was too long.
Mr. Klorstoaa's motion finally prevailed.
Major Clarkson rend n protest from the
Omahn typographical union ngntnst allowing
MOSSM. Gibson. Miller ft Richardson's non
union mon appearing In lino.
The union said that they would turn out
225 uniformed men if their protest was recog
nized. They did not object to the firm
making n display of tholrown manufactures ,
such ns books , pamphlets , etc. , but they did
not dcsiro to see "scabs" In lino.
It wns sugccsiedthat it a committee should
call upon Messrs. Gibson , Miller & Richard
son , they would probably agree to the de
mands of tbo compositors.
Mr. Easjon said lie was In favor of allow
ing all unions to enter the parndo , There
wcro none in line last voar and ho could not
BOO why there should bo in this year , but
they might come if they so desired. Someone -
ono naid that he thought there had been
union men In the parade last year.
"No , " suiu Mr. Easson , "there wcro not.
Thor.o were on the Fourth of July , when wo
allowed 'nlgeov' bricklayers nnd everybody
else In , but there were none allowed in the
Merchants' week parade. Tills parade is
gotten up for the benefit of the merchants of
Omaha , and I do not think It Is the place of
any union to attempt to dictate to the mer
chants In regard to whom they shall have in
lino. "
The matter was discussed pro and con , but
it was evident that the general feeling was
against the union. The matter wns finally
loft to the committee on press and publish
ing houses to settle the host way they can.
Mr. Kiorstcad reported that ho
had secure a rate of (90 from
the Union Pacific for a train
of ten coaches to carry people from the city
to South Omaha on Thursday. The people
down there , he said , were Intending to pre
pare sumo llttlo entertainment for visitors ,
nnd would servo n very elegant lunch nt that
time. Ho also said that tbo Union Pacific
had desired to give the train free , out it was
against their rules. It had boon suggested
to him that all that was necessary to cover
this was for a member of the finance commit
tee to call upon tlio officers of the road and
this would bo made good.
The question arose as to the means of
kooolng n rabble from capturing the train.
It is the intention to run this train for the
benefit of the merdhants from the country.
It was decided that 1,000 tickets bo printed
and clvon to the drummers' coinmitto to dis
tribute to tholr customers among country
merchants. The mcotzug then adjourned ,
