GREAT DAY FOR THE TALENT Knowing Ones Land Four Winners at llio Union Park Session , * MOLLIE PENNY'S ' TWO NICE JOURNEYS Blio Win n Cottplo of Sprint * In Oooil Tlmo from llnnl Cciinpotlttirn I.ntonlii Iln nil Off Diiy Sport nt Other Tracks. WAS BUT little fiddling at the post yesterday. Starter JIatch was at his beat , which la speaking volumes In his behalf , when It comes to sending oft a bunch of frac tious jumpers. Ills work was even an Improvement on that of the Initial day , inasmuch as two breakaways was the limit for any ono ovent. In the first tlirco races the horses all getaway away evenly , and In the two last there ware but two call-backs In each , So far Colonel Hatch has executed his trying duties with on eclat that would turn your Howes and your Pettlngllls green with envy. Again , the day was perfect , the track fast , the crowd largo and enthusiastic and the run ning out of sight. There wasn't a lazy race on the whole card. Kach was full ot snap and ginger , and the lads rode as If for their lives. They were all purse races , and owners and jockeys were out for all the stuff there was In them. The betting was good , and the pencllers correspondingly happy. Considering the limited time backers have had to acquire knowledge of form , the talented cohorts suc ceeded marvelously .well , four favorites going safely through , and ono well backed second landing first. Tlio eager speculators ac cepted ovcryhtlng that came their way , and It Is safe to say several bank rolls have been badly crippled In the two days furore. Much Interest centered In the opening event , five furlongs , for 3-ycar-olds and up wards that have not won moro than one race since May 1. Weight , 110 pounds. 1,11- llo Loclilel was the fancy ot the talent , and , with Jones up , started favorite. Hardly ten minutes elapsed from the sounding of the pdst bugle when the field was under way , Hatch dropping the flag as the horses came abreast of his pedestal on a lino. Idle Ioy ! got away In front , and moving from the outside to the rail In the dash to the six teenth pole , made the running , with Ed- mend Connolly hanging at his throat latch .nearly all the way. Lllllo Loclilel and Coun- " ell Plal were hotly In their rear , and both quickly moved In the van , Idle Boy , how ever , as quickly regaining second as ho had lost third , Connolly dropping back next to last , Down tlio stretch they came like oqulnp tornadoes , the Lily and the Day both fighting hard under whip and spur. Loclilel showed first , and under Jones' vigorous rid ing drew steadily away , winning , used up a bit , by a halfa length , Idle Hey second , Council Plat third. MOLLIE MADE A NICE HUN. The second race , half a mile , went to J. J. Ryan's bird of a little marc , Molllo Penny , after a thrilling tight to the winning post with Sam Jones , condition telling on the old selling plater at the end , and dc- cldlng"tho chase by a head In Miss Penny's favor. Uoss' big roan gelding , Dick Tiger , is also deserving of a word of credit In this struggle , for It Is an open question whether ho did not have a show for first mone.y * himself. Coming down to the wire , and no further than seventy-five yards away , he was next to the rail , but a scant head or two behind the leaders , Pinny and Jones , and coming good and strong. Right hero Avery jerked Jones ever almost against Molllo , who swerved , and the Tiger had to bo pulled or go Into .the fence. After the contest Judge Leper called the jockey Into the stand and Informed him that on a repe tition ot that sort of work ho would leave the park , and ho wouldn't have to bs coaxed , either. Molllo Penny's race was a credlt- nblo ono , however , and she ought to morj than pay her way this year. In the six furlongs , owners' handicap for all ages , the big son of Long Taw took his flrst money at Union Park. Starting fa- vorlto at 1 to 3 , ho bulged to tlio front In the flrst few strides , and won about as he pleased , though through Berger's pulling him up a trifle previous the rnco looked as If Ocorgo Mullet , n well worn vet from JonCs * "stable , had glvsn lit in considerable of an argument. Maple Leaf was close up for third , but Ashen ( Imp. ) , a well backed second end , was a bad last. Five ran In the fourth race , four and one- SERIES 4. The Book of the Builders HISTORY OF THE. .

Molllo broke In front and went an , Jock Kodgers warmly' after liar , and Karl third , with IHick Walker coming' f/ist. / On the turn McKnlRht attempted a rush with Penny , nnd tried to shake off the whole lot behind him , and led Into the stretch by nearly two lengths. Hero Neal piled both lash and ntllleto to the big bay gelding and took after tha Ryan mare , catching her a hundred yards from home. From there on It was a horse rnco ncod for sore ryes , and while Mollla won It WAS by reason of her almost supernatural effort , nnd the tremendous en ergy of her wlso jock. Iluck Walker man aged to slinlte third out of the muts , but fully three lengths away from Rodgers. A quartet only answered the call to the post for the last race , flve and n halt fur longs. The flag fell with Mike. Flynn and Marmadukc In front , Doley Drown next and Henry II bringing up the rear. Mike and Marmaduko held their places until rounding the flrst turn , when Doley Urown and Henry R both moved up , Doley taking the lead Into the stretch. From there she drew away and won handily by two lengths , Henry R and Marmadukc fighting It out for second place , which Henry secured by a neck.

Tulont , Misses It nn All but Ono of the Flvo Jtuthor Ordinary Kvontn. CINCINNATI , May 25. The second day of Latbnla's spring meeting had no Inter esting feature. It was an off day , with no stake , races on the card , and about 2,000 people "came out to speculate on the re sults. The twenty-six books did a fair business and came out ahead. It was a poor day for favorites , only one winning , Myrtle In the last race at prohibitive odas. One second choice , one third choice and two outsiders romped home with the money. The track had dried out surprisingly , but was still lumpy and slow. Results : First race , six furlongs : Jaclnta (5 ( to 1) ) won , Adah Ij (15 ( to 1) second , Macadage (4 ( to 1) ) third.

Today's oard af. the fair grounds was not particularly InterestIng - Ing , and as a consequence the attendance was small , the greater attractions of to morrow's events having some effect , no doubt. The speculation today was rather light , but of what there was the talent had the best , throe favorites and one well backed second choice landing the money.

"Well , I should say s ? , but wo don't make a business of buying on account of the risks wo would have to run , I have had girls come to mo and offer to sell their hair as It was on their heads. No , they don't got good prices $1.CO to $2.GO being as much as I over gave. 1 know of one case , however , where a well known society woman took a fancy to the hair ct a young lady ( iho met accidentally , and she paid llio highest price I have over known for a head of hair. The young lady In quottlou had a luxur.ant growth af golden brown hair , and QUO day shn was approached by this lady , who was compelled to use false hair , who Bald to her : 'Mlsh - - , If at any tlmo you de- Mro to part with ycur hair , you can find a customer In inc.

WILMINGTON , Del. , May 25. H. D. Mar tin of Minneapolis , a member of the execu tive board of the Knights of Labor , who was arrested on a charge of malicious libel the other day In Scranton , Is In the city. The facts leading up to the arrest are thus stated by Mr. Martin. Just after the election of the general officers last November , ex-Gen eral Master Workman I'owdorly wrote to General Master Workman Sovereign saying ho had sent certain property of the order to the general ofilce , enumerating the same , and concluded by saying that , with the ex ception of the lettera bearing the seals cf district , state and local assemblies now in his ofilce , there was no other property of the older In his possession. This at the time was considered satisfactory. Later I'ow- deily and Mr , A. W. Wright brought suit against the order for money alleged to be due them. At the recent meeting of the general executive board In Chicago it was decided that It was time that Powderly turned over everything belonging to the. order. It was also decided that It was time that the "secret work" of the "philosophers stone , " which Powdorly received from Uriah Stephens , should be given to Sovereign and Hayes. Both Sovereign and Hayes had re ceived letters from members of HIP order who had earned the honor nnd wished It con ferred upon them. A notice had been Issued to organizers that the general master workman would confer the tltlo upon those who did certain work. Hayes was In structed to ask Powderly to send him this 'secret work and did so. Powderly replied with an unqualified refusal. The general executive board , through Hayes , then ordered Powderly to restore the property within n specified time under penalty of standing ex pelled. This is what led to the trouble be tween Martin and Powderly. Further ar rests on both sides are expected , tis Powderly Is determined to remain In the older as long as ho has an Inch of fighting ground left and the new ofllclal seems equally determined to finish him. I/EAN BUT NOT HUNGRY. The Itlsmnrcldiin .Mot hod of Koilurliig Many stout people- have drawn comfort from the treatment of Prof. Schwcnlnger , the famous physician of Prince Bismarck. He has reduced many a "puffy" cheek and brought smiles of satisfaction to many a Jolly face. At the request of friends and physicians ho recently wrote nn artlclo on his "anti-fat cure , " which gives in concise terms the main facts about his treatment. After recommending daily massage and bathing the professor says : "As to the kind of massage to be used In the case of stout persons , It may be said In Konornl that tlio harder the massage of the fatty parts the bettor the effects. Thu pain often felt In the beginning of such a treatment will disappear an a rule In a few days , and what was a dis comfort becomes later a pleasure. As to diet , the principal nourishment should bo meat of any kind , hot or cold , and fat or Iran fish , oystera , cavlaro , lobsters , crabs , sausages , eggs , cheese , etc. Next to be recommended are broad , white or brown ; fruit , preserves , spinach , asparagus , c.ib- bagcs , sauerkraut , cucumbers and green salads.

STRONGEST AGREEMENT EVER FRAMED lly for ItntM Now Henln on Onn nnd HuMitit lln Allglity ( 'uri-ful AVlinl lln DOP.I During Tliuno llitril Tlmet. CHICAOO , May 25. Tlicro ta but one opinion on the agreement of western presi dents for the maintenance of freight rates , It Is universally conceded that to all appear ances It Is the strongest railroad agreement over drafted. Its one clement of strength Is that the presidents themselves are the only ofllclals who can reduce rates. If any line Indulges In rate cutting the entire responsi bility must be borne by Us president , for nothing Is more certain than that no subordi nate oinclnl will now manipulate rates with out direct orders so to do , Under present conditions of traffic and railroad finances , no president can stand the responsibility of demoralizing rates. All boards of directors are fully aroused to the necessity of their roads earning every cent possible , and any of them would bo moro than apt to demand the resignation of a pres ident who allowed rates to bo cut on his line. Eastern financial institutions arc deeply Interested In the welfare of western roads , and In the end are able to dlctatu the policy ot nine-tenths of the lines. Those Interests are now unanimously In f.ivor of strictly maintained rates , and their pursu strings would scarcely bo unloosed to help out a road which got Itself Into dinicultlcs by rate cutting. Some of the presidents go so far as to say their form of agreement Is the one which must ultimately bo adopted as the best method of maintaining rates. One man for each line assumes the cntlro re sponsibility for the maintenance of rates. With easy times and abundant earnings the plan would undoubtedly develop weak spots. Under present circumstances the agreement Is believed to be stronger than any pool. Not one president believes the agreement will be broken until trafllc a- sumes Its old proportions. It Is only necessary , however , for the presidents to re main In line to preserve the present situa tion indefinitely. No rate agreement ever formed will bo as closely watched. is i'i.i.vsii : > .

Ileafford of the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul arrived In Omaha from the west yester day , accompanied by Mrs. Ileafford. They went east last night. Speaking of the emigrant situation which has Dtlrred the railroad world as no other railroad proposition for a decade , the well known passenger director of the Milwaukee said : "It Is a blessed relief to know that the Third ward business , as It Is called In railroad parlance , has been llnally settled. The proposition last made by the Union Pacific Is eminently fair , yielding somewhat of the California business to other lines , but retaining control of the Colorado business. It was a good natural fight all the way through , all the roads making mutual conces sions. The last proposition of the Union Pacific contemplated taking one-third of the business , dividing up the other two-thirds between the various roads. The agree ment becomes effective Juno 1 , 1S94 , and everybody hopes it will bo lasting. "As to the railroad situation generally It looks exceedingly blue. There U little erne no business being done and I cannot sec any signs of a betterment , but wo have to keep our courage up and Jolly ourselves with tlio belief that better times are coming.

The engineer crowded air on his brakes , but the calf disappeared beneath llio cowcatcher. Everybody looked for veal cutlets , but as tha locomotive slowed up and stopped the calf calmly stosd up under th * Lo lor between tlio driving wheels. The cow heard the bleat of alarm and caught sight of her calf. She tin- hesitatingly attacked the big Iron horse and vainly endeavored to horn It off the track , bawling angrily the while. A newsboy , after a great deal of maneuvering , managed to push the calf botwron the driving wheels and the cow and calf moved leisurely oft as though nothing had happened. A Tin In Flirt.

The admiral and his wife were coming from California , when a woman occupying a seat In front of them on the ear opened a win dow. Admiral Farrngut was III , and the strong draught of wind which blew directly upon him chilled him. Mrs. Furrngut asked the woman courteously If she would not kindly close the window , as Itvas annoy ing to her husband , Thu woman snapped out : "No , I won't clohe the window , I don't care If It does unnoy him. I am not going to smother for him. " Admiral Fnrra- gut thus caught a severe cold , which .10- uulted In his death.
