To the Editor of Tin : BKI : : The charges
ngaitut Dr. McN'aughton pubhshrd in the
Sunday Issue of THE BKE nro of the most
vnfTJC nnd lllnny character. The people cer
tainly expected , after such a storm of threats
ami threatened charges , that when the end

produce some good reason for their i > osHlon
In this conflict. The article is not deserving
of the name of phargcs , and to ma it scorns
notblnir but an expression of the personal
whims of Members Well ? and Schocntgen.
Seven years of successful supervision of our
schools and his repeated unanimous ro-cloc-
tion plainly shows that the charge ol incoinpe-
teacy is simply a ridiculous pretext for his
illsc'harKC. There is no doubt Unit Dr. Mc-
Naugnton Is ready to refute the charges , but
can they be impartially tried under existing
circumstances I
What would you think , Mr. Editor , of sub
mitting any of your Interests to a juiy , two of
whom bad already prejudged you and arohlr-
ItiB lawyers , not only to prosecute you , but to
persecute you I A few days npo there was a
card of Wright & Ualdwln In the Nonpareil
wherein they expressly state that they are
employed by Wells and ShocntKon. Is this
fnl r piny I What must the fair minded people

threadbare. I do not behove It will RO down

Thlt old pnmo jilaycil with striken , bluffers

thing in their conduct which indicates a

they protest their anxiety to servo the people
and advance the interest's ' of the schools , they
at the snmo time indulge in practices -which
would be condemned even In men who make
no pretensions to blgh-nilndcd fairness.
What sincerity cau there bo hi tbe charges ?
The signers did not prepare those charges
and some of tliem did not oven read the
charges. Tlio.v were framed by Wells and
Scliocntgcn and their attorneys , and then at
once carried to the newspapers for publica
tion.

"There Is a pi-eat deal of misapprehension
In the inlnds of the general public concerning'
the objects of the farmers' "
congress , remarked -
marked Ohio ICaox , ono of the ofllccrs of the
association , to Tin : BIE. "The general belief
seems to bo that it is an annual gathering of
the farmers from all over the country , nnd
every state In the union , to discuss the best
means of carrying on their business. People
who attended the late session of the congress
hero went to hear the discussions with this
Idea , and were very much surprised to hear
nothing at all about turnips and potatoes , fat
stock and silos , but a great deal about national
questions of legislation. Many of them earao
away romancing that the convention WAS
nothing moro than a political orgunlmtlon ,
and they expressed ttieir disgust with n
regular French shrug of the shoulders.
"Tho farmers' national congress is neither
a political organization nor a gathering of
farmers to discuss farm matters. The dis
cussion of agricultural problems Is altogether
foreign from the Intents and purposes of tlio
organization , as would also bu the case with
the discussion of the fitness of anv candidate
for any ofllco , state or national. I'ho objects
of tbo association are to procure legislation
favorable to the agricultural Interests of the
country and to benefit tlio farmer by protect
ing his interests through national legislation.
The congress cannot take any cognizance of
state or national ixilltics , but its functions are
definitely doiincdaiiil limited to securing the
passage of such laws as will promote the In
terests of the fanners and defeating'those
that are opposed to his Interests. It has done
a great work in this line , and has exerted a
great Influence on national legislation. The
defeat of the Blnlr educational bill is one of
Its victories , and thoroare many others more
Important. It lias no politics , and will not
tolerate a politician working for place und
power. "

Yesterday morning , at the First Preshy-
'terlan ' church , Hov. Dr. Phelps preached a
very Interesting sermon on the subject or old
ago , its beauty , usefulness and blessedness.
Ho-took for bis text Proverbs xvi. , 31 ; "Tlio
hoary hcnu Is n crown if It be found In the way
of righteousness. " The speaker said that the
snow whlto or silvery hair Is hero taken ns 10n
tepresentutlvo of old ago. The way of
righteousness means faith nnd a Godly llfo.
The nid'iiilng of the passage Is that a Chris
tian lifo Is a crown of old ago , a crown of
glory.
Too darlt a view of old ago prevails.
Younger people , and men nnd women oven hi I
middle life , seem to dread to grow old. This
is unnatural and wrong. Old ago is likened
to winter many times. I think it ought not
to booxt-ept lu this simple-characteristic
the whitened head is similar to snow
frost. 1 read recently an article that perhaps
tended to induce mo to select this
as a subject. Some
ono writing
Intoned ago to the Lapland winter where
there was no summer and where all was cold
and dark and dreary. That man didn't know
what ho was talking about. Old ago is not
cold , not sunless , not dark , not dreadful.
I would speak tlrst of the beauty , second of
the usefulness and third of tbo blessedness
peculiar to old npo. There is a beauty pecu
liar to every period ofll To. In infancy the
little dimpled lingers , the face without a line ,
the rippling laughter and the artless caprices
of the little tilings. Who is not attracted tote
a baby I The child from two years up to
clghtor tea the new words , new ways and
new Ideas every thing changing from day to
day in the development of the powers ot'tuo
body , inhid anil character ; bow beautiful I
la youth , too , the further de
velopment of form , of mind , of
human nature and spiritual character
how beautiful and Interesting t In iiiuldlo
llfo every flash of the oyc , every movonientof
the features , every gesture indicating charac
ter how Interesting n study. And then old
ago has Its peculiar beauty. It Is not the
bt-auty of the Infant , nor of the child nor of
the youth , nor of the middle ago. 1U beauty
Isot peculiar to Itself , but it surpasses all the
others , for it is a crown of glory if it bo
found In the \vayo of righteousness. Who is
PC dear to the aced man as the aged wife , or
tcV the aged woman as her aged husband ?
Who to the son or daughter Is the most beau
tiful of the earth I The mother Is. or the
father. Old ago Is Hko unto the Almond
tree with its ripe white blossoms. It is like
unto the ripened grain In the field ,
Itft is like the tree bending under Its luscious
fruit that Is rlpo ; it Is Hko the vine hanging
with rich clusters , ripe nnd sweet ; the gray
head Is tlio dawn of huavon , the crown of
glory. | Even n second childhood la beautiful
if there bo n second childhood but bo rare-
ful how you call an old man a child , or In his
dotage. ( Wo nro very apt to bo critical of old
ago. > Dr. Samuel Johnson said that if a boy
should coino Into your house nnd remain
awhile \ and then when ho was ready to go
forget where ho left his hat , nothing would
bo thought of It and you would pay no atten
tion ! to it ; but If an old man should be guilty
ol such an act , people woiild sny "ho is fall
in ; his old ago is getting the better of him. "
But he has only done what ttioyotith did.
But oven if they do develop Into a second
childhood , what Is more beautiful ? When
the renowned Dr. Kaott was lying on the
bed which proved to bu his death bed nothing
sc soothed and rested him as for Ills wife to
scsl
slnt ; to him the same song that bis mother
bad sang to him In the cradle ,
"Hunli my child , llo still and slumber ,
Holy angles guard thy bed , "
and no prayer was sweeter to him than "Now
I lay mo. "
Life was filled with visions of his mother
who hud beentlead for many years. Jesus
says : 'Unless you become like little children
siC cannot cuter into the kingdom of
heaven. " Why then point the ilngor of con
tempt at old uge , and say "second childhood , "
when there Is a beauty , a huaveiillncss
and a holiness about that which
you call "second childhood. "
Secondly , the usefulness of old age. God
has some use for old people or would not hnvo
snared l them to grow old. There are different
views ns to how many years it takes to con
stitute old ago.
stdi It is the old men of the generation who are
doing tbo work. Point the linger of scurn at
them and you nro pointing it at Cod almost.
"There < Is a dead line at llfty" some say. It
Is a silly saying1. Men are never better fitted
tcni fill responsible positions than after they
are fifty. They have studied from observa
tion , books , men , God and duty.Vtio \ are
better lilted than they ? God never forsakes
the old , Moses was eighty years old
when ho beheld the burning bush
nt the beginning of his leadership of
the children of Israel , and ono hundred and
twenty years old when God buried him nnd
tbo limits of human lifo were then the sumo
1Uu now , as shown by the ninetieth psalm ,
"three score years and ten. " Paul wrote
these epistles Unit are richest In what ho
called his "aged life. " John of 1'atniosvns
from ninety to ono hundred years of nge ,
doing his work at tlio city of Ephesus.
Casur : was ilfty years old before ho over sawn
a military camp. Sir William Herschel , to
whoso works Is attributed more of the knowl
edge that underlies the science of astronomy
than those of any other man , did that work
itu his Inter llfu. Ho was learning the solar
mid siderenl systems of the heavens at
eiglitx--two ! ; Demosthenes became theorutor
ov the world because an old man met him
while ho was dejected and despondent on ac
count ( of his failure , add gave him counsel :
Franklin was llfty when ho commenced
the study of philosophy ; Socrates began
learning to piny musical instruments when ho
was extremely old ; Gladstone , the grand old
man , of England , everybody knows h old ;
D'Isracli ' was tin old man ; Bismarck Isold ;
Emperor William was old ; Thlcrs of the
French republic was eighty-two when ho laid
down his lifo work ; John ( Juincy Adams was
llfty-six when ho oetrun his life's work , even
after having berved as a representative ,
United States senator , having been upon the
supreme bench and having served four years
us president ; John Wesley , at eighty-two ,
said : " 1 hove not had the sense of weariness
for eleven years. " I could name them by the
hundred 1 names that have become famous in
old lifo.
I tarn , thirdly , to the blessedness of old
ago. I do not ignore the fnct that it has Its
suffering 1C and trinls , but what period
of lifo has not ? Old ago h < w not
n whit moro thun any other period. It has
its I infirmities r.nu loneliness , iw cessation
from 1t 1 active wovk ; it has many another thing
that other people think are dreadful , but they
don't seem so dreadful when you como into
them. With Paul they can say : "I glory la
my infirmities ; when I am weak , then am I
strong , ' Old age is blessed in Its memories ;
tntj events of the past lifo nro surrounded
with u glow of light and beauty. You can
raakij old ago bcuutlful. Ljtyour lifo be
such that when you look back upon It you
will have nothing in your owa conduct to ro-
gret. Does the old man or woman feel dis
tressed because the memory is failing ?
It Is not ; the body , the instru
ment of tlio memory , is dull ;
but the mind is there ; you cannot blight It.
It will never bo dull. You cannot take out
of your memory u.single day ; the incidents
of the memory nro held now as by u coil
spring , but nt lost the power of the memory
will assert Itself ; it will crowd to the front ,
und everything you have ever known will
pass before you ; nothing can drop out of
your memory except that which is unworthy
to bo remembered , and that Jesus Christ
washed out with his blood. Then there nro
tbo blessings of rest such rest us you have
never hud on earth , now near at hand ; an
ticipations of homo such a homo as
earth never gave you. You uro looking
forward to the place which IIo says ilo
lias prepared and made ready for you , to take
up the work again which you have dropped
hero , to go on for evermore. Your Savlourls
comiiif to take you ; you will see Him ; you
will see God ; you will see friends who have
gone before ; you have been dim of vision , but
you will ace again perfectly. You will sco
the city with gates of pearl , streets of gold ;
scrnplmns and choruhims with harps and
crowns ; you will see the saints , the re
formers , the apostles , the prophets , the
patriarchs ; you will s > oe Adam and Kve. and
angels , who would not bo glud to DO released
from the imprisonment of this lifo with such
a prospect in store ; you will not see through
a glass darkly , but face to face. * * Poncedo
Leon sought in the Floridas for the fountain
of perpetual youth ; no wonder ho sought It.
It is said that an eminent ! physician has dis
covered th elixir of llfo which Is to bo intro
duced Into the system by hypjdermlo injec
tion for the purpose of prolonging llfo. 1'or-
hnps ho has found it , I think that the pro
cess of indefinitely nrolonging lifo will bo
discovered. God will direct somebody to that
which shall bo the nullification ns it were of
the scuds of disease within us. that wo may
live on und on , so that to fulfill the scripture
a child shall die nt ono hundred years and
still bo a child. But whether this bo true or
not the Christian religion has done moro for
old ngo than nnythtng else. It wipes away
the tears from aged eyes and 1111s thorn with
Its glory. It is the setting sun that shed * Its
glory over the skies nnd gilds .the mountain
crests and floods the valleys , the setting sun
pressing westward and then it la the rising
sun und for you It will rise In Immortal
glory. Let men say what they please , re
ligion transforms your hoary head into a
crown of glory.

A representative of tha Cleveland bridge
company will spend the greater portion of
this week in the city of Omaha working the
scheme to build a pontoon bridge between
the city and Cut-Off islaud. Ho will come
authorized by his company to enter Into
negotiations for the work and to close the
deal as quickly as it can bo completed. IIo
will also bo prepared to give bonds to finish
the bridge ready for trufllo within sixty days
froui the duto of signing tbo contracts. Ho
will have conferences with the men most In
terested and will lay the matter before the
council.
Ono of the plans proposed is to have the
city vote bonds to pay for tae work , aiid to
arrange If possible , to divert nil the taxes
realized from the 'property on the Island to
redemption of thoTmtuls. If this can bo done
the bridge cnn bo. ft u lit wlthbut rest to the
city. The saloons : on the Island nnd other
sources of revenue will afford enough
money to pav nil the expenses
if mainlalnlng gpbTI governnient on the
Island , nnd the taxw derived from real estate
and personal properly will amount to enough
in two or thrco years to pav for tlio bridge.
The city's ' bonds could bollontcd ut once and
made redeemable in rive years nnd the money
rcnllzed could bo used In paying for the work ,
and by the time the bonds matured the Island
taxes would provito | a fund thnt would bo
more than sufllclent to redeem them. The
only thing iti the way for the successful car
rying out of such n scheme is the question of
legality , whether or not the city has the right
to use all the taxes for ono purpose. The
plnn is considered feasible by nil who have
considered it , and It is regarded us tno best
means of solving the problems that the
rapidly Increasing Importnnco of the Island
present. It will not be long until school
Eiouscs will be required In the new territory ,
anil if n free bridge Is built the pupils c.m at
tend the schools on the bottoms on this side
of the river.
There are sover.il enterprising and pro
gressive eitl/cns at work on the scheme , and
when ills fully matured It will bo presented
to the council. Tlio Cleveland man will pro
bably bo before the council at Its next meet
ing.

annoyances annoy. On the other hand ,
take the oxerueiatingly prim miss who is

iiK ' 12,000 .Seals From Siberia.
Thu steamer jifarluck , belonging-
Alaska Commercial company , arrived in
San Francisco recently from the far
north , bringing the largo catch of 42,000
seals from the Siberian coast. There
ore 20,000 more to come from that coast ,
making the entire season's catch of the
Siberian coast 02,000 seals , which is
more than throe times what the now
North American commercial company
bus secured , says a dispatch to
the Now York Tribune. Tlio Alaska
cormwiny , while it hold the scaling
privilege for the Pribyloy islands , ig
nored the Siberian coast scaling privi-
loges.which it received twenty years ago.
Now it purposes to develop the latter
fishery If it can secure another lease.
The present lease expires this year , and
the Alaska company is building- schoolhouses -
houses along the Siborliin coap't to com
mend itself to the Russian government
and thus got the valuable franchises.
Six of tlio crow of tlio twenty of the
poaching scaling schooner 0. H. White
wore brought to this city by the Kar-
luck from Siberia. While in the Ilus-
sian waters eighteen mou from the
White , threu la a boat , wore sent out
boal-huntlng. Afoffuiimoup and they
lost track of the schooner. After rowing
about for two days two boats reached
Copper Island and mirrondorod to the
Russian olllcials. Nothing was seen or
hoard of the other men and it is feared
they wore lost.
\ Girl's Composition on a Caterpillar.
Now York World : The caterpillar is
n cruling thing and hears all over its
back and fannie found ono down her back
and it inado mo crall Hko everything
birds oat caturpillars and give thorn to
their children to cat. I don't see how
they can eat them , they are such horrid
things , they look so ollly , and I feel 1
don't know how. Cultorplllius climb
trees , the other day I saw a big , big cat-
terpillar and ho was so horrid that I
took a Htlck and Ulld him with it nnd
threw itawiiy to let thoswlll man take
it homo period caterpillars have 1,000
or more logs ho may not have KO many ,
and ho may have uioro the big ones have
more than the little I goss that bat I
don't know.
Caterpillar * eat flies and other insects
such as ants , inihcatos and others Hko
that. Also they oat loaves , plum loaves
and in short nil kinds and some ilowors ,
too. Some have baby caterpillars ; in
short all of thorn. Caterpillars drink
water , in short anything they can got.
Caterpillars , I cafinot say much more
about caterpillars , but ono good reel is ,
never throw a caterpillar ataman or
anybody for It gives them btioh a fright.
I Imvii told you nil they cat , drink , how

pillar can climb , jou cannot. Ma boBomo
of you can , I eaik't , but most of the things
that a caterpillar can do wo cannot , and
most of the things that wo can do they
cannot. '
Toiuinlii fflfsna Sentinels.
Dogs as auxiliaries of the sontlnol are
coming to the front , says thu London
Standard. It appears that a kind lias
been discovered in Tonquln which has
been converted into a vigilant and fero
cious sentinel. It is tall and powerfully
built. The way it is trained may bo ex
pected to elicit the protests of that
Animals' Guardian of which wo an
nounced the other day the forthcoming
issue. Whoa these dogs are wanted for
military service they are tied up and na
tives are engaged to heat and otherwise
ill use them. The French soldier's duty
on the other hand , IB to feed and | iet
thorn. If , then , at night , they are fastened -
toned to asontrvbox they naturally give
the alarm dlreofly an Ammmito or Ton-
qiilnoln approached. They oun distin
guish the native from tlio European 'iy '
the scent though either should llo con
cealed. About this method of training
there Booms to be a good deal of unneces
sary and cruel ingenuity , Our Kngllsh
dog-fanoiors would probably bo willing to
undertake the training of sentinel doga
on terms much easier for the dogs thorn-
selves.
HOW JOCKEYS ARE TRAINED ,
Methods in TJso for Reducing the Weight of
Rider ? .
"HARD SWEATING" AND ITS FINAL RESULT
Some of tlio Host Known Jooltoys and
the Amount of Klcsli They Will Pull
Off iluforo They nro In I'ropcr
Form Tor a Itaec.
I have boon very much Interested in
the methods of training adopted by men
who are engaged in athletic sports and
callings of various sorts. Many curious
facts have come under my notice in a
fjln
rambling way , but I doubt if anything Is
oltl more interest to n casual man than
the manner in which jockeys reduce
their weight in order to ride at the num
tlVI < of pounds proscribed for them on tlio
race-tracks , writes Blakely Hall In
Frank Leslie's. Any man -who has fre
quented the Russian baths in Now York
has doubtless observed at times tlio
small , attenuated , and sometimes skinny
figures that recline- the holest corners
ot the Turkish room , or soak with mel
ancholy determination on tlio hottest
slab of the steam room. They take no
notice of their surroundings , but it is
to ( be noted that the bath attendants
treat them with elaborate and almost ab
surd respect. Once in a while a bather
comes In who sits oil at a distance and
gazes with an almost idolatrous affection
at ono of the skinny little men or boys.
This particular bather is in all proba
bility a racing man , and ho feels the
keen admiration which all raco-goors
entertain for a successful jockey. Wo
pay ' the jockeys well enough In America
tttl insure a bolter lot of youngsters thim
the turf boasts today. The boys have
not , us a rule , a justatrl proper notion
of what they ewe to the public or to
snort , and so much lee o and criminal
riding is tolerated , particularly on what
are known as the winter tracks , that
the boys have grown , careless in some
Instances nnd criminal in others. There
is ono quality , however , which I admire
in all of them , and that is their tre
mendous persovorcnco and pluck. I
htivo knowna jockey to go into a Russian
bath In tlio morning after taking a par
ticularly rigorous course of medicine ,
undergo the most trying ex pei'lonco
with the extreme heat of the ostib : lish-
mont until ho hud lost four or live pounds
by what is technically , and perhaps ac
curately , known in this system of train
ing as "hard sweating , " and then go
out and put on a suit of thick flannels , a
heavy cardigan jacket , and an overcoat ,
and walk and run ton miles in the blaz
ing sun. The medicine would have been
enough to weaken any ordinary man
and take the pluck out of him , but the
jockey would undergo the whole of this
exhausting regime and show up at the
trauk to ride at 2 or 3 o'clock in the
afternoon , weighing seven or eight
pounds less than in the morning. Ho
mig ht bo pallid and almost too weak to
sit in the saddle , but ho had got down
to the proper weight , and that was re
ward enough for him. When it is con
sidered that those boys are merely skin
and bones to begin with , it can be soon
what a tremendous strain on the consti
tution it is to work oil'so much weight.
I remember one instance when Garri
son , who is , I think , in the opinion of
most race-goers , the most intelligent ,
plucky , nnd wido-awako jockey in the
countrv , took off eight pounds in twelve
hours fn a Kussian bath , from 0 in the
evening until 0 the following morning. I
have never heard of any authenticated
instance of another jockey taking oft as
much as this. I have not gone Into the
subject extensively , but , as I said at the
outset , it has always beoa of a good deal
of interest to mo , and I have watched
the jockeys carefully. Anybody who
thinks that it is an easy matter for an
athlete who is trained down to the last
ounce in weight to take oir
eight additional pounds in twelve
hours should try it. There are very few
men , oven among those who are carry
ing from twenty to llfty pounds of super
fluous flush , who can reduce themselves
more than a pound or a pound and a half
during a long bath. Garrison is a slight
and slenderly-built man , and as ho al
ways keeps himself in condition summer
and winter , ho does not easily run to
llesh , so that ho does not experience the
resistance that many crack riders do in
taking down his weight.
MeLaughlin , for a long time Gar
rison's rival , and a jockey who did much
to build up the fortunes of the famous
Dwyer stables , has had to yield to in
creasing weight. Ho is what traiijors
speak of us ono of the "hardest re-
dueors" in the world , and it is almost
impossible for him to keep anywhere
near his racing weight. The oll'oct ol
this was to practically drive him out ol
the saddle at the very time when his
career promised to bo the brightest on
the American turf. A jockey who can
ride as McLaughltn and Garrison have
done is sure of an income of any
where from $15,000 to $30,000 a
year. Most of thu jockeys rise to success
from the positionof ignorant stable boys.
It can bo easily understood that there
are many Inducements to keep wol
within tlio racing weight. McLaughlin
goes | into a Russian bath and takes the
most extreme treatment in the hottest
rooms for three or four hours. By this
lie manages to got oil perhaps throe
pounds. Then ho is rubbed , scrubbed ,
and put through an oxtraordidary mas
sngo treatment , bosldo wearing ' 'sweat
ors" every day and doing an enormous
amount of oxo'rciso. With all this ho
cannot keep down to n good figure.
"It is just as natural for some men to
bo fat , " an old trainer of McLaughlin
remarked once fn my hearing , "as it is
for some to bo short or call. If nature
wills it that way there's no use of Iryin
to run agin it. "
Little Bergen does not have muni
trouble in reducing his weight , us ho
has seldom been above 112 pounds. Ho
runs all the way down to 100 pounds and
ho easily reduces himself four or llvo
pounds , as the occasion warrants , by
going Into the hot room of the bath
curling up In a corner and simply lyltijj
there while the prcsplrntion rolls oil'of
him. Once In a while ho uncurls him
self , goes to the plunge and rulw his
head with ice-water , then returns to his
former position and stays there pluekilj
until ho is down to the proper weight.
Tamil is another easy reducer. Ho
usually takes the hot-room for two
hours , then swims around in
the plunge for a long while , and re
turns for another hour in the intense
hoat. If this Is not enough ho puts on
a sweater at the track and plods around
inthodiibt hour after hour , until ho Is
lit to ride at the weight sot out for him
on the card. Jockeys like Tamil , Ber
gen , nnd say Grace , whoso weight is
about one hundred and ten pounds , are
not so much worried by the phantom of
disaster known as too much weight as
the broad-shouldered and big-honed
boys. Many jockeys of the latter build
are sure , steady , cleup-headod boys , with
plenty of pluck and strength and the
other qunliflentioiiB that go to make
up a successful jockey ; hut they
have to undergo such extraor
dinary tortures to keep down ton weight
which will not place a crack horse at a
disadvantage in a race , that they get
nervous , irritable , and lose their skill.
Tlio difference between a perfectly
licalthv and robust man 'and a man who
lias reduced himself by internal and ex
ternal means until ho is BO nervous and
weak that ho cannot hold himself up. Is
a wide ono. A strong dose o/ / brand v before -
fore tlio nice commences may pull to-
Bother a few of the falling encrgiiv , but
It docs not give the rlclor the cool judg
ment and thorough balance which comes
of perfect health. That is ono reason
why Homo of the boys who are naturally
small and thin have u big advantage on
the season's mounts over much 'more
clever jockeys who are handicapped by
big frames or a disposition to grow stout.
There seems to boa great difference ,
too , In the abilities which jockeys show
toward reducing themselves , An hour
in steam heat with ono man will take on *
a pound while It will not reduce the
weight of another tlireo ounces. They
tell mo that Spollimin was one of the
readiest reducers that over vent tnton
bath , lie \vus \ known on ono occasion to
taku oil' seven poundj in four hours. His
weight in summer was usually 10 ! !
pounds , while ho usually rodent 111
pounds. It is Raid that Spulhnan on 0110
occasion , having to ride at a lightweight
nt short notice reduced his weight In
ono night from 111 pounds ) to
101 pounds in a little IOHH than
five hours. IIo was always the
source of moro or loss alarm to the at
tendants of the bath , for they could
never tollo.xactly how ho was getting on.
lie would walk into the hottest corner
of the steam-room , wrap n wet towel
around his head , < uirl up In achnlr with
his head resting on his folded arms and
his legs crossed , and sit like a Sphinx
for hours. Once in a while ono of the
the attendants who know him well
would go and speak to him , but the boy
would not answer a word or rniso his
head , They wore always afraid ho hud
fainted from exhaustion or had suc
cumbed to an accelerated action of tlio
heart , but they were afraid to disturb
him. After sitting two or threu
hours in this position ho would
uncurl himself. drift to tlio
outer room and drink a bottle of ice-cold
beer. Then ho would resume hisforiner
position and remain there with the
thermometer ut 100 or 170 degrees of
heat , and thu norsniratlon dripping oil
of him steadily , when ho finally got
out of the bath and hadbeen thoroughly
well rubbed , he was invariably ligh't
enough to rido. Snollnmn died about
two years ago on Sixth avenue. It was
at first thought that ho had been robbed
and murdered , but the coroner decided
that ho had fallen and hit his head
ngalnst ono of the pillars of the elevated
railroad , causing concussion of brain
which resulted In his death.
Jockeys are very careful to take off no
moro than is absolutely necessary. For
instance , if they weigh 112 pounds and
have to ride at 110 , they take oil exactly
two pounds and not another ounce. The
moro they reduce themselves the weaker
It makes them , and they never punish
themselves unnecessarily. They are of
course always careful in tlio matter of
diet , and most of them keep in training
in winter as well as in summer. They af
fect the Turkish rooms particularly. In
the first room the tompsraturo is usually
153 ! ° ; in the second it hovers about
100 ° dry heat , and in the Kussian , or
vapor room , the temperature is usually
1115 ° , which equals , it is said , about
175 ° dry heat. Tlio rigorous
training which thoboysundorgoin these
baths rather disposes of tlio theory , I
think , that Turkish baths cause heart
disease. If they bad any such effect as
that , all the jockeys would bo killed ofT
in a week at the begining of the racing
season. At ono of tlio largest baths in
Now York , which was started in 18(51 ( ,
there have bcon only two deaths from
heart diboaso in twenty-nine years , and
the bath has an average of 00,000bathers
a year. This hardly shows that the
heart is alToctcd by the
Russian or Turkish baths. On
account of objections made by the other-
bathers , the colored jockeys are not
allowed in any of the public baths of
Now York. Some time ago ono of the
proprietors of a hath hero issued tickets
to n prominent colored jockey , and two
or three of the tickets wore used by the
boy , but the opposition and indignation
on the part of the other bathers com
pelled the manager to keep the young
jockey out. IIo made a great row about
it , and there was flnully u compromise
on a money basis.
Sucked Gas anil lli : < l.
Henry Mersman , a lifo prisoner con
fined for murder in the Ohio htate
prison , committed suicide in his cell in
a peculinrlarly ingenious manner. Tak
ing the pages of a newspaper , ho rolled
them into tubes , and telescoping them
together made a long pipe , one end ot
which ho slipped over a gas jot , ana
taking the other end into his mouth lay
and sucked the gas into his lungs , death
resulting in 11 few minutes.
