The usual Sunday ciowil assembled at the
Charles Street park yesterday afternoon to
two tlio last game of the season on the Oinatia
grounds with Willie Traffic'a prolilbltlonlsta.
Jamlcaoil started In to pitch for the Kourkes ,
but soon developed that ho waa about aa
effective aa a G-ycar-old boy , and was
yanked out and Papa 13111 took a turn , Jnmle-
aon taking Fear's place on right In order
that he might lie called back to the box If
Pa failed to turn the trick. This he did In
the most picturesque manner , for with the
three runs they had made off of the big
blonde In this Inning , the prohibitionists
made it an ven dozen oft of Papa , and
Lookabaugh was hunted up. given a uni
form and told to pitch the game out , Flourko
going to right and Jamleson to the stable.
In the following fhe Innings they only hit
Lookabaugh safely seven times , and scored
but four more runs , showing that If they
had hud him In at the beginning they would
have ron the came.

THE HUMAN
An Ohio Illior Hoy's ItpiuirLablo Muslcul
Tuleiit
At Pomeroy , O. , when one slta on EUtn-
mer evenings , perchance In front of one ot
the leading hostelrlcs , he commands a
sweeping -view of the Ohio river , both up
and down stream. Often strangers enjoying
the charms ot the situation arc surprised
to hear the staccato notes , apparently of a
steam calliope on some distant packet. They
learn , however , that the calliope's notes are
those of a human voice , tuo miles doun the
river.
John J. Curtla has won the local sobriquet
ot the "human call lore , " He Is about 18
> ears of age , and a > ery manly looking
youth , of great breadth of shoulders and ca
paclty ot lung. Down at the factory of
evenings ho Isont to give strange vocal
exhibitions to his fellons and the nelgtibor-
ll R country at large. Mounted on a pile of
pig Iron , he braces himself , takes a long
breath , and then from an aval-shaped mouth
emits , without any apparent effort , tones
that for strength and far-reaching quality
his auditors declare they have never heard
the equal On clear nights this voice can
be heard for o\cr two miles. With a ready
ear for music younff Curtis "plays , " or
rather shouts , many of the popular airs of
the day , and Is looked upon as a great cele
brity In hla section
The Vint tyiuiMithntlc strike.
In a termon recently the Rev. William
Barton of Boston said that a sympathetic
strike reminded him of the old woman who
nas ana bitto persuade her pig to Jump over
the stile. So she commanded the dog to
bite the pig. When the dog refused she
commanded the stick to beat the dog. Then ,
as refusal followed refusal , she ordered tlio
lire to burn the stick , and the water to
quench the nV . and the ox to drink
the water , and the butcher to kill tlie
ox. and the rope to hang the
butcher , and the rat to gnaw the rope , and
the cat to catch the rat. Here , by reason
of ( be old'tlroo animosity ot the cat against
( he rat , she succeeded. The cat began to
catch the rat. and the rat to save Its life
began to gnaw the rope , and the rope to ea
cape destruction began to hang the butcher ,
and the butcher to save his neck began to
kill the ox , and the ox began to drink the
water , and the water to qtnch the fire , and
the Ore to burn the stick , and } he stick to
beat the dog. Thereupon the dog proceeded
to bite the pig , and the pig lumped over the
Etile , and lot ) old woman went on her way
rejoicing. That waj the first cympatnetlc

Dut'ts ' nnil Gompenmtion of Chaplains in
the Army acd Navj.
EASY LIFE POSITIONS ON LAND AND SEA
A Flout Simp Sltith Sought Tor nnd Liber
ally Itcuurdcd No Ilcrr jr TilnU Mir
Cnill Ions trltlclmnfi by llcnroiu
' 1 niching nnd Trenching ,
Congressman Springer hns found an easy
berth for hla son In nn army chaplaincy.
There Is as much pressure for places of this
sort as for any of the tnlnor oDIces In the
gift of the president. Great numbers of cler
gymen , eajs the Wa&lilngton correspondent
of the Globe-Democrat , are nlwajs anxious to
got an opportunity to serve Uncle Sam pro
fessionally. To that end some of them give
up rich nnd prospering polishes , though why
Is a mjstery. Apparently the almost unl
versal appetite for place-hunting seizes them.
The United States army has thirty-four
chaplains , stationed at forts all over the
country. Seven of them nre Baptists , nine
are Episcopalians , eleven nro Methodists ,
two are Presbyterians , ono la a Congrega-
tlonallst , one Is a Lutheran , ono Is a Chris
tian , and two nro Catholic priests. The
question of denomination cuts no figure In
this blanch of the service. Appointments
arc always made by favor and -without any
regard whatev r for the religious demands
of soldiers and officers. Pour of the chap
lains referred to nre regimental chaplains ,
attached to the four colored regiments , two
of Infantry and two of cavnlry. Three of
thesj men are negroes.
The pay of a newly commissioned army
chaplain Is $1,350 a year , to which 10 per
cent Is added for each five years of service
He has always the
relative rank of a captain -
tain of Infantry. After retirement lie re
ceives three-fourths of the pay of that rank.
No age limit restricts appointments. A
clergjman may enter the service at the ace
of C3 years and 11 months , retiring a few
days later with the ranK and pay of a cap
tain. It will be seen that n chaplain Is
actually much better off than a line officer ,
Inasmuch as he does not have to go through
long years of service for slow promotion.
Uko a captain , he Is entltlid to commodi
ous quarters at government expense , co"m-
prising five rooms.
NOT OBLIGED TO FIGHT.
A chaplain In the army Is not obliged to
fight under any circumstances. Ho hns no
arms. His uniform Is a plain black frock
coat buttoned to the neck with nine black
h ? "i8' , U ls Preserved that the buttons
shall bo In front ; to button the garment up
b-hlnd would not be consistent with the
regulation. . This , with a black hat , serves
for both undress and full dress. The chaplain -
lain has
charge uf religious matters In gen
eral nt the post where he Is stationed. He
enters In a book all marriages , baptisms
and funeials nt which he officiates. This
book h a part of the records of the post ,
and Is regularly Inspected. In addition , he
superintends the Instruction of enlisted men
anu children at the post. He Is a school
tcachci as well as a clergyman.
It Is quite a , likely as not that the re-
llgloui views of the army people at the post
will not coincide with those of the chaplain
In matters of detail governed by sectarian
prejudice. His assignment to duty has no
reference to that consideration. At a post
where Presbyterian sentiment prevails a
J : ? Priest may be on duty. However
nobody who does not wish to do so Is obliged
to attend divine service. Even the com
mon soldiers and sailors of the United States
con not be subjected to compulsion In this
legird. Before the war pious commanding
officers at certain forts compelled all non-
chuich going soldiers to spend an hour or
more every Sunday In listening lo the read
ing of the regulations and articles of war
This was In effect a punishment , and It
has been done away with. Similarly , Ad
miral Godon used to force sailors who did
not attend divine service to toe a plank for
awhile.
An act of congress passed In 1838 created
the office of "post chaplain and schoolmas
ter. The appointee was neither enlisted
nor commissioned. The pay attached to the
position was raised from time to time until
It reached $100 a month , to which .rations
were added In 1SG7 congress made the
chaplains commissioned officers , and cave
them relative rank as captains. They are
obliged to pass only a physical examina
tion , but It Is required that they shall be
icgnlurly ordained clergymen In good stand
ing In their denominations. Young W. n.
Springer , the congressman's son , wns or
dained ns a Methodist minister two months
ago. He Is 25 years old. For some time
past he has been clerk of his father's com
mittee on banking and currency In the
house at $6 a day.
THE NAVY PAUSON'S SNAP.
An appointment as chaplain In the United
States navy Is oven more desirable than In
the nrmy. la IB likewise a life position ,
equally a slmcurc. and much better paid
The naval clergyman during his first five
years or service gets $2,500 per annum while
at sen , $2,000 on shore duty , and $1,600 on
leave. After five years he receives $2,800
at sea , $2,300 ashore , and $1,800 on leave.
There is no further advance of salary. On
being retired he draws for the rest of his
life 75 per cent of his sea pay of $2,800 a
year. It will easily be seen that these
places nre among the most desirable in the
gift of the government. There are twenty
chaplains in the navy now. According to
law- , the four oldt. . in the service have rela
tive rank as captains , the next seven rank
as commanders , the next seven as lieuten
ant commanders or lieutenants , while the
lest have no rank ,
The duties of a chaplain at sea nre by no
means arduous. He must perform divine
service on the ship at such times as the
captain may prescribe ; also , he may be de
tailed to duty on board of a vessel which
has no regular chaplain , or at a naval hos
pital or shore station. He Is permitted to
conduct services according to the methods
recognl/ed as proper by the church. At the
same time , he must afford all facilities to
other clergymen who may be allowed by the
captain to visit tlio ship for the purpose of
preaching or giving religious Instruction. If
a Hebrew rabbi comes aboard with that ob
ject In view , he must be welcomed.
The chaplain may fo m Sunday school
classes on board ship , vv.lh the captain's ap
proval. He must not push his religious In
struction where It Is not wanted , but he may
proselytize privately as much as he likes.
He Is required to visit ( he sick frequently.
Under the direction ol the commanding officer
ho supervises the teaching ol boys and sucli
of the sailor men as desire to learn reading ,
wrl'lng ' , arithmetic and geography. He must
report to the captain at the end of each week
what has been taught and the progress made
by each pupil. On shore stations he
has often nothing to do. llcv. Mr , Henry
B. Hlbben , lately deceased , waa on duty for
a long time at the Washington navy yard.
Having nothing else to occupy himself with ,
ho wns Instructed by the commandant to
write a history of the yard. The -volume ,
which contains much interesting matter , will
soon be published by congress.

lain might be called upon by the commanding
officer to pass ammunition or even to help in
handling a gun. However , his duty would
ordinarily be to aid tliewounded. . While
performing divine service he wears the vest
ments of his church. At other times he is
clad In B uniform of black with shoulder
straps' having crosses an part of their design.
There are two Catholic priests In the navy.
Tlie Bailers are largely Catholic , many of
them being Irish , French and Italians. But
no attention whatever is paid to such matters
) n the appointment of chaplains or their as
signments to duty. It Is required that a can
didate for ono of these positions shall not be
under 21 yeara of age or over 35. The ex
amination Is physical only.
A MESSMATE NOT ALWAYS WELCOME.
A chaplain on board chip takes his meals
with the ward room mess. He may say
grace before meat , If the officer who hap
pens to be caterer does not object. It Is
unfortunately a fact that chaplains as n
rule are not -very popular In the navy. It
U eailly understood that a clergyman fimH
himself In rather an anomalous position
among a lot of young officer * In the -ward
room. Some of them are apt to bt more or
leas ribald , and there. Is much of the merrl-
mcnl In which a mjalatyr of tlie Ron pel can
not -well Join Ort the ; other han < 1. to sit
apart and look EolMrjY.ls not desirable A
chaplain has been Hfowii to spoil all the lun
of a miss , objecting lo smoking , and so
causing the wllhrtrajntl of that prlvllcgd
from the ward roonij by the captain. On
the other hand , thtrr < are good fellows In
this branch of the'service who take things
as they nnd them , anil take ns Hrg * a part
I' amusements on board and ashore as Is
pjinltlcdto them bV the cloth they wear.
Ihc percentage of Catholics among sillors
In the United States navy Is gro-Uni ; rap
idly less on account , ct this policy which now
prevails of enlisting /Mucrlcn.ns , In preference
to foreluiitTB. A visitor on one of our war
ships Is astonished to , hear strange languages
spoken by a majority df the blue jackets on
board. Down nt Old Point Comfort the
other day one Norwegian seamin belonging
to the Mlantonomoh was heard to remark
to one of his mates :
"I saw him yump Into the yolly boat ,
Ynsus , what a yinnpl"
Orthodoxy cuts no figure In the chap
laincy business. No chaplain In the nnvy
or army has ever been tried for heresy.
There would seam to be no coed reason
why women should not serve capably as army
chaplains , but they are not possible In the
navy. No woman Is allowed on board of
a sea-go I HI ; ship of war , except as n visitor.
When Farragut visited Guropa on the
Wabash after the close of Hie rebellion , he
could not take Mrs , Farragu { with him.
She was obliged to cross the ocean on a
mall steamer.
A chaplain may be dismissed from the
nrmy or navy like any other officer. Even
the president of the United States , how
ever , can not deprive him ot Ills commis
sion without a court-martial As might be
Imagined , Uncle Sam's chaplains have
rarely got Into trouble. One of them was
permitted to resign a few years ago on ac
count of Immorality , which the secretary of
war thought It undesirable to advcitlse by
holding an open court and publishing the
facts In general orders for the edification of
the entire service.
CHAPLAINS OF CONGKESS
Congress cmplojs two chaplains. Each of
them receives $900 a year , which Is fairly
good pay for n short dally prayer during ses
sions The chaplain of the house ot repre
sentatives is Edward 13. Bagby. His pre
decessor In that position , William II. Mil-
burn , Is now chaplain of tlio senate. He Is
blind , llev. Mr. Mllburn may be considered
the most distinguished chaplain in the gov
ernment service. He Is certainly the most
famous. Though the place of chaplain of the
house Is in politics , he kept It through
changes of control In that body , partly on ac
count of sympathy with his physical aflllctlon.
Objection was sometimes made to his mlnls-
tra'ion on the ground that his prayers occa
sionally had a political basts , which was con
sidered hardly fair.
ISepresentntlves and senators in congress
who are clergymen arc Invited now and then
to offer prayer , relieving the regular chap
lain ot that duty. Senator Kyle and Dr.
Everett are examples , Any clerical relative
of a senator or representative who may hap
pen to be In Washington at any time Is opt
to be Invited to officiate , as a matter of com
pliment , The father of Mr. Dolllver did so
only recently.
It has been frequen'ly proposed that chap
lains In the army and navy should be done
away with. U Is charged that they are of no
practical use and that their places are sine
cures which would be best abolished. How
ever , the weight of public opinion seems' to
Incline to the conclusldn that the twin serv
ices are rather godless any way , and are
none the worse for a little religious supcr-
vlslon.
CAPITOt fcRANKS.
Oncci OotiliiBos Unit f.iiltur In tlio Corridor
uf the IllRf JUill.llnu.
There Is a certain s.pcles of mankind In
Washington , eays Jlip Post , that Is as closely
intertwined with the jlolngs at the capltol
as certain creepers With the forest oak. They
thrive o > 'v ' in the atmosphere of the big
bulldlngj Uey are fouifd nowhere cUe. No
body knows iuw they eke out an existence ,
and npbody p tlfularly cares They are ,
there day In and dayrout , osclllattng between
the house and senate doors like ra shuttle
cock. "
The typical genius of the corridor , the
waiter at the lobby doors , supports gravely
the dignity of a departed gentility , wears a
well biushed coat , white vest and sometimes
natty overgalters that bear a remote re
semblance In color to his faded trousers ,
and cover a pair of polished shoes. His
whole bearing Is one of elegant neglect , a
semi-artistic or literary nlr , marked by the
luster ot his Intelligent eyes , the confusion of
his hair , ihe delicacy of his hands , the care
less tying of his cravat. He talks cntranc-
Ingly , with a dash of levity , of cynicism ,
in his conversation. One Is never sure
whether he Is serious or quizzing. Evidently
he Is a man who waa patted en the back In
his youth with a prediction , and was side
tracked somewhere In the mighty steeple
chase , and has never been able to get right.
His levity sounds like the mockery of shat
tered hopes. Pride deters him from ac
knowledging his own mistakes. The whole
ruck of humanity has tramped past him and
left him standing by the wayside In cynical
solitude , a miserable jester casting his jibes
after the rushing multitude.
Ho thinks he Is n great man unrecognized ,
unappreciated. Soma day , he fancies , for
tune will hand him over an opportunity on a
silver plate and send him speeding to hla
goal with a benevolent slap on the back.
Then , he thinks , lie will show the world
what a mistake It has made In not drawing
him out of his obscurity long ago.
If you talk with him five minutes you de
tect the crank that moves the machinery of
his existence. His mind U a beehive of
fantastic visions , of startling , kaleidoscopic
enterprises and misdirected alms. He Is
simply a large picture book for Juveniles
done In cardinal colors ,
HE SAW A GHOST.
Looked Like Ono to the Knglncrr and He
Stopped tlio Tnilii.
Mapleton. on the sea beach road to Coney
Island , X. Y , , has a ghost. The ghost was
first noticed by a train load of excursion
ists returning at midnight on Thursday after
a day's jollity at Coney Island The train
had just reached the spot where Miss Baring
committed suicide on Monday morning when
the spirit appeared. Superintendent Loske of
the Sea Beach road , who was riding In the
cab of the engine , first noticed U. He
called Engineer Mallon's attention to It , and
the train was quickly brought to a standstill.
In the language of Superintendent Lasko , "It
was tall and shadowy like. It had the ap
pearance of s substance gradually melting
Into a filmy white rtothing , and seemed to be
covered with a long white filmy veil. Two
seconds after I S TT l ( , " said Mr. Laske , "It
began moving ove'r toward the railroad track.
It moved slowly , Having Us long , draped
arms. I could md/Mstlnctly , as we approached
preached near , that ft motioned to us , ges
ticulating as one .would do trying to stop a
train. Engineer Maljon then saw It. He be
gan to blow his thistle with a succession cf
sharp toqts and put on brakes. The thing
did not get out 'tit.tJTe . way , though It was
careful to avoid Oie neadllght , and the train
was brought to a 'standstill. Just as the
train stopped the tiling glided off the track
nnd skimmed along toward the woods , all
the time gesticulating as if motioning some
one to follow. " tn fii

NKW YORK , Alig , -Henry Clews , head
of the banking house of Henry Clews A. Co. ,
writes of the situation In Wall Ml eel :
' The past week has ufToided u fair speci
men of the sort of effects the end of tariff
suspense has In store for Wull street. The
feeling Is that of universal relief from a
universal obstruction. The v\ay hns been
opened to a resumption of tiadc nnd enter
prise In every direction , and In ull Interebts
there Is a disposition to resume upcratlons
on something approaching a normal ncalc.
Thiiro nrc no longer nny great feius , nor
any reasons for timidity , overhanging the
miulcets. In every branch of trade Blocks
of merchandise arc In n starved condition ;
and the reasons which have tor llftocii
months cnu cd buvers to pursue- policy of
haiul-to-muuth supply ntu dlsappeailng. As
a rule , prices of merchandise aie unprece-
dcntly law. so that if the purchasing abil
ity of conmuiKra has been lessened , that
difficulty Is oiTbct by u prupoitlonate ic-
ductlon In the costs of living- and In the
amount of outjajs at large Cicdlts , ns n
rule , arc In a bound and wholesome condi
tion , so that the merchant who ilc'slies 10
enlarge his stock nnd eMend his tinde can
have UH > needful tlmu facilities , and at ex
ceptionally low ratts of Interest.
'These conditions ceitalnly lay the basis
for a sound anil healthy icvlvnl of business.
There Is In the Intrinsic state of affairs
little to suggest misgivings ns to thc > future ;
thete IM , on the contnuy , much calculated
to establish confidence In a continuous ,
steady , stable and conservative course of
ti.ide. The count ! y Inn luirned some seri
ous lessons , and therefore Ii disposed to be
sober , but It Is also veiy hungry for more
trade and better piolltH , and Is thciofuic
disposed to turn to active account i-verv
chance for Improving both. Kor the last
four jears the peiciptlon of n coming
change in our tat Iff policy has had n niou1
repressing effect upon enterprise than Is
generally supposed , and thu fact that that
change hus come nt last , with little prot-
peut of its being much disturbed for tome
\eara to come , piepnres the wnv for many
lone postponed undertakings. The fact of
the common cheapness of materials and or
the quite general reduction of vvngeii has n
very direct tendency to Invite revival In
certain Important branches of trade , es
pecially those connected with building ,
machine plant , public Improvements nnd
railroads. How far the reduced scale ot
prices and the exemption of law materials
from duty .rsy enable us to Increase our
export trade remains to be seen ; In the
meantime , however. It is n hopefully hlgnlll-
cant fact that last year's reduction in
values wns attended by an Increase In out
exports of 138,000,000 , as compared with the
year 1802-3
"The lecovery that now seems to bo pet
ting In is something broider than a icvlval
from the effects of last je.ir's panic. That
crisis , though immediately Incident to tin-
great silver fright , embraced ale the effects
of the deeper derangements that set In with
the great Barings pusptnslon , nnd of which
that failure was but a sjmptom. Those de
rangements wore laigely In the nature of
over-production , over-speculation , ovcr-tiad-
Injr , nnd were vvoihl wide In their Influence ,
and their effects still continue In the pci-
ststcnt depression of tiado In every Euro
pean nation If the lecovory fiom these
four sears ot reaction first makes its ap
pearance In the United Stutos , It Is nothing
more than might be expected fiotn the
greater resiliency of our resomccs , nml
from the fact that-we have been less In
timately connected with the disturbing
causes than have other countries It Is rea
sonable to hope , however , that lec very on
this side the Atlantic will tend to stlmuHte
improvement on the other hide ; and thus It
may quite possibly linppn Hint the foreign
markets , both commerclnl and financial ,
will respond to the Impiovlng tendency in
our own
"The foregoing arc the sort of conditions
"lind prospect1) ) that nro looming tip to the
vision of Wall stieet observer' , nnd It can
not be questioned that they are producing
a very decided impression upcn the con
fidence and expectations of Investors and
hpeculntlve operators. The 'bears' have
retired Into their lairs , nnd buying hns ex
tended b > yond the Industtlal stocks to which
it has been so largely conllncd. and has be
come general on the railroad list. Prom
the number of now bujcis that are appear
ing It seems likely that the recovery may
nm Into a considerable and sustained ad
vance in pi ices , even be ) end tint which hns
been already realised. There Is n lanrc
amount of Idle funds Ij Ing around in all di
rections , for which the owners have not yet
found permanent souices of employment ,
and this capital Is now comlns into the
market for transient investment In secur
ities -which arc considered good for n. rise.
This is a solid pource of support for the
new tendencv ; and it seems likely to be
continued for pome time , the more HO he-
cause the interest obtainable in other wnys
still continues unsatisfactory. Under these
circumstances , we cannot hesitate to com
mend the market lo our friends ns one fa
vorable for buying on all pronounced reac

LONDON.Aug. 2 . The fact that the stock
of gold and the reserve again touched
record figures In the returns of the Hank
of England' counteracted the tendency to
dimness In the money market exhibited last
week and the rates are made at tlielr lowest
point. The silver market fluctuated accord
ingly , as It was thoiiRlit the chances of war
In the cast would create a demand. Amer
ican holders took full advantage ot this
speculative rise. The Stock exchange mar
ket continued strong , considering the hmall
business of the holiday season The strength
of American railway securities helped to
support the other speculative markets. Tlie
bad weather affected home railway secur
ities less than mlKht have been expected ,
while prices In all the other departments
reached a higher level with a , likelihood of
steady Improvement. German consols were
In great request for Investment. There
were sharp changes In Mexicans , which ,

Germany on rumors of a contem
plated reduction In the Interests.
With the exception of Lake Shore ,
which advanced 0 per cent , the rise
In American secuil.les was less marked th n
It was last week , owing to considerable

This race was for the 2 25 class * IIO BS and

That horse IMmllco , who stands ns the only
horse which has beaten Azote ( his season , has
quite a record on the turf nnd is one of the
most valuable ot the campaigners. He came
right out of the stud In June , tills year , nnd
beat such speedy nags as Lord Clinton and
Itylaud T , and since then has been cirrlng
oft good money In nil events In wlilch he
has Ijecn nominated. I'mnllco wns bred by

In 1S90 , when f > vcars old , hs was started in

with a record of 2 16 % During the season
of 18U1-9J IMmllco wai Kept for stock pur

Gentry captured the flrst two hents In 2.07'i
each , in game finishes , while Online nnd Re

In the final heat Gentry captured the purse
in 2OSl,4 and Onllno managed to wrest third
money from Reflector. Hal Flradcn wns .in
easy second In all three heats , but the flrst
two heats took nil his strength and he could
not finish btrong.
Robert J took the wind out of Joe Patch-
en's sails In their $5,000 match race at
Washington park Trlday nfteinoon , and for
tlie first time the big pacer was unqualifiedly
beaten to a standstill and could not make
a good pace maker for Robert In the suc
ceeding heats. It was a race and the three
heats were paced In the average time of
200 , the fastest consecutive- heats ever
paced on any track. These horses have been
rivals all this ) car nnd both have been
looked upon ns horses able to break Mascot's
record of 2 01 before the close of this season.
The owners of these horses have striven to
beat each other , and finally they ngieed tea
a matched race between the animals for
$2,500 a side. The horses were in fine fix
fo- fast driving and when their drivers got
the word both animals seemed to realize the
Importance of winning. Llko two well ad
justed machines the speedy sldew heelers
set off at a tremendous stride and went to
th" > half , ncck rnd ncck. In 1:02. : The crowd
thought that the world's record would bo
smashed as the animals passed the three-
quarters post In a 2.03 gall , but the pace
had been too rapid for Joe I'atchen and as
he sloped up it was seen that Robert J as
good as had the race won. The first heat
was recorded In 2 05 , and Robert went under
the wire under a strong pull. The other
two heats were paced In 2'06'/4 each , making
the time for the three miles 0:18. : As Robert
J never was crowded in this race , horsemen
are beginning to Inquire how fast he really
can go a mile. Those who witnessed him
beat Joe Patchen predict that ho will beat
2,04 before the close of the season ,

Senator Cameron , who Is BO serious and.
unapproachable at almost all times In public *
Is one of the gajest of men In the private-
circle of his ovui choosing , and Ills house , ac
cording to a correspondent , has been the-
scene of some of the liveliest poker playing In ,
Washington. Ho Is also one of the sena
torial circles which meets at a private hotel
there and plajs a stiff game two or-
three times a week. One or two of the men ,
In this /aine / are too poor to play poker.
Butler of South Carolina , who Is Just now-
making a lively fight against Tillman In the
hope of succeeding himself , Is one of these-
poor poker plajcis poor In more senses than.
one. Vest of Missouri , who Is one of the ,
liveliest of the boys when on a senatorial
spree and one of the most crabbed and dis
agreeable of men at all other times , is an
other of 4he poker crowd. Vest lived for
many jears In a little frame cottage on Capitol
tel Hill , with the sergeant-at-arms of the.
senate , and he was so poor that he said he
could not afford to keep house here. But
Vest could afford to play J50 limit and lose.
Cameron has always had more money than.
he could spend. Of course , ho could not
give money to his fr'eiids. ' Vest and Butler :
nut , wlln his knowledge of the stack market
( secjnd only to that of Senator Quay ) ho-
could give them points ofalue and put
them Into deals which he knew would b
profitable. The result was to make good.
the money these men had lost at poker ami
to keep them In the game. And as Vest la
a good storyteller nnd Butler always a Jovial
companion , Mr. Cameron found his reward :
lu their society.

"One of the strangest species of anlmat
life J ever came In contact with , " said Prof.
E C. Sawyer of Philadelphia to the Globe-
Democrat at the Southerly last evening , "ia
the horned toad , which Is quite common la
Arizona and New Mexico. These animals.
are somewhat larger than the uiminon toada.
which Infest our lawns and gardens , and are
found In large numbers on the sandy plalna
of the southwest , They are strange looklnc
little creatures , and their name Is derived
from the fact that three projections like
horns stick straight out from the top of
their heads. The most curious feature about
these toads Is the habit they have of appar
ently spurting blood from their eye-s when ,
disturbed. An old hunter who had lived la
that locality all his life told me that It was
not really blood that these creatures spurted
forth , but a liquid resembling It , and that It
caino from llttlo orifices just above and be
hind the e > es. He also told mo that thla
liquid had a stupefying effect upou ou
covered with It. "
