tut: new turf queen.
The press of the country ia now filled
with talk of Nancy Hanks, the new
queen of the turf. The story of her
mile done i.ti 2:07, ImB circled the
planet, and whenever a horse-ljver is
found lie has forgotten the stirring con
flict "between capital and labor, the
change of Englands ministry and the
preliminary agitation of an -American
political campaign, and read of the
beautiful mare that trotted 5,280 feet in
one second less time than that distance
had ever been trotted before.
It was not so very long ago, in 1828,
that a bet of $2,000 was made and lost
that no horse could trot a mile in three
minutes. Second by second the time
was lowered until quarter-seconds
counted in records. ' Finally Maud S.
in Cleveland trotted around the mile
track in 2:08'. Although Sunol a few
months ago in California beat that rec
ord bv half a second, horsemen did not
regard it as strictly the record for a mile,
as Sunol trotted on a kite-shaped track.
But Nancy Hanks in Chicago has
broken the record on'tlicelliptical track.
Her flight was followed by. 20,000 . Chi
cago eyes, and 10,000 Chicago voices did
her honor when she flashed beneath the
wire two minutes and seven ...and one.-,
quarter seconds after the start.
Nancy Hanks, Budd Doble and the
"pneumatic sulky made the grand com
bination, and Chicago Ect the pace for
the rest of the world.
The venerable mother of Mr. White
law Reid lives on the old Reid home
stead, near Springfield, O. She is a
woman of striking appearance tall,
. white-haii ed and well preserved for her
advanced age, for she is within a few
months of 8i). When a correspondent
called on her recently she . was dressed
neatly; but with great plainness, in
gown of black and white striped calico.
with an old-fashioned cap of white lace
on her bead. Mrs. Roid's meinorv for
the events of her younger years is excel
lent, and she tells quaintly of her son's
departure for college. "When White-
law went away to school," she said, "he
had a hard time to get along. One day
I packed up for him a crock of butter, a
loaf of bread, a sack of meal and a
boiled ham. I wrote to him to get some
buttermilk to mix with the meal and
make some cakes. He wrote me back
that it was the best meal he had eaten
for along time."
Dtepatchea today indicate the near
approach of tho cholera, it having
reached London from Hamburg, and
expected from tho same source at New
York within a short tiwo. The. first
warnings of the London Lancet are now
regarded with more significance, and
that paper now takes the ground that
it is the duty of the hour to prepare for
the invasion, as if its coming were as
sured. For this reason the Lancet od
vises the immediate opening of training
schools for cholera nurses. Unless this
training is begun at once, it says, we
are likely to find ourselves in the grasp
of the epidemic without a staff of nurses
capable of attending the eick. The pa
per declares that ordinary nurses can
not deal properly with cholera patients,
A special training is required. In giv
ing its reasons for predicting the en
trance of the disease into England,, the
Lancent argues that tho rapidity with
which the infection has traveled, by the
aid of German railways carrying Rus
sian emigrants to the North sea, has
brought as face to face with a type of
the disease having all the virulence of
the Asiatic form.
New York papers say all precedents
of previous cholera epidemics point to a
greater danger to the United States the
year following an outbreak in Europe
than in the same year, but the sanitary
officials of the United States express the
opinion that the advances made in the
sanitation and the methods of disinfec
tion, and the increased knowledge ac
quired of the germs of the malignant
disease since the last serious cholera
visitation, will enable them to break the
precedents and ward off an epidemic al
together. In our southern ports, nota
bly at Charleston, the summer quaran
tine, which is always strictly enforced.
is in operation. One extra precaution
has been taken ; the quarantine station
has been provided.- with the Hoel sys
tem of steam sanitation and disinfec
tion, and is very complete.
All vessels arriving hereafter from
these ports will be detained at all quar
antine stations of the south Atlantic
ports. No vessel J9 .expected ft SMI
Francisco from any affected port before
the middle of December.
There are 63,000,000" people in the
United States, and 62,000,000 of them
would like to see Corbett Whip Sullivan
at. New Orleans on thaTth. Tho Boston
brute is tolerated only- because he is
champion. . Whatever admiration" he
exacts is due to his physical superiority
over all other men. Destroy that enpe
riority and interest will cease in his
movements and intentions.- 8ullivan
seems to realize this. He comprehends
that this ia a crisis in his unique career,
and that the country in general, and his
enemies in particular, would rejoice to
see .him downed. . He is, therefore,
amenable to the discipline of his train
ers, and is doing everything that can be
done to place himself in fine condition
for the contest. . This conviction, cou
pled with his dogged determination and
wonderful powers . of endurance, will
cause him to fight dosperately for con
tinued supremacy. Much as he likes
money, and great as are his needs in
that respect, he will fight for the belt
rather than the purse.
In sporting circles John L. rules the
favorite, although Corbett has a great
deal of moneyed backing; generally at
odds of $70 to $100. Corbet's backers
do not pretend to eay that their mm is
the pugilistic prodigy that Sullivan has
been. They merely claim that Mr. Sul
livan is njt the man he once was. a con
viction that is snared also by built van's
friends ; and that the time has arrived
for him to be downed and Corbett is the
man to do the work. Unless Corbett
should give Sullivan a knock-out blow he
would have to beat him into slow in
sensibility before the Bostonian would
give up. If he should succeed, however,
in displacing the champion, the downfall
of the latter would bo sure and epeedy.
Grief, rago and various excesses would
make short work of him.
A San Fiu ii cisco dispatch says there
are but two ships that, by any probable
chance, could bring to San Francisco
any germs of cholora. These are the
British ship Jessomcne, which ' sailed
from Antwerp August 19th, and may be
expected to arrive ia December, and tho
British ship City of Athens, which
sailed from Antwerp August 13th, and
will probably arrive about the middle of
December. Strict precautions will be
taken on the arrival of these ships by
the port sanitary authorities to destroy
all dirty clothing, bedding or inerchan
dise suspected of containing cholera
.germs, so that the city may not become
affected. -
Eye experts insist that people who
wish to preserve their eyesight will do
well to confine their reading as far as
possible to round, fat-faced type, and to
avoid that which is . tall and thin., It
was the shape of the type of the tiny
edition of Dante produced at the French
exposition almost aa much as its minute
nesa which blinded some of the persons
engaged in correcting the sheets. An
other important point is to avoid too
wide a column, or the. eye is strained.
The only way to neutralize the tendency
to such strain is to turn the head from
side to side after the manner of short
sighted-people. The width of a column
of reading matter ought not to exceed
at the outside two inches, because that
is about the natural range of the eye
when the bead is kept motionless.
Here is a little gem of real Jackaonian
democracy', uttered by Mr. Jackson him
self: . "We have been too long subjwt
to the policy of -British merchants. It
is time we should become a little Amer
icanized ; 'and ; instead ; of foeding : the
paupers and laborers of England, feed
our own, or else in a short time (by
continuing our present policy) we shall
be renderd paupers ourselves." The
'present policy" alluded to was a
riurclv revenue tariff. Mr. Jackson'?
!Tiow8 are particularly commended to
those democrats who are prating about
Jacksonian democracy in one breath and
calling for a revenue tariff in the next.

Joe Pulitzer, of the New York World
has given $10,000 to greaee the demo
cratic machine in the- western and
northwestern states. Somo democratic
enthusiasts from the latter section have
been persuading eastern folk that Min
nesota and the two Dakotas, with Wis
consin and Michigan, can be carried for
Cleveland and free trade. "Fools and
their money are soon parted," as the old
proverb eays. -

by the labor organizations of the citv

It is stated that oil in quantities has
been found at a railroad camp on' the
Lewis and Clarke river, on the Astoria
and Portland railroad. If this proves
true, the development of that section
will be rapid. Surface indications point
to a great oil basin in the Flathead
country, and an attempt will be made to
prove its existence in paying quantities
.' Popular sympathy always goes out to
the man who strikes against long hours
and small; pay, but the moment that
' man becomes a rioter, public opinion
suddenly concludes that he was prob
ably paid all he was worth and the long
hours served admirably to keep him out
of mischief.
Emma Godman, the anarchist, used
to live in Philadelphia, and it is related
that once when the house cat captured
sparrow she nearly fainted at the
eigljt. She rescued the bird, tenderly
nursed it back to life, and when it died
some time afterward she buried it with
tears in the back yard. In view of this
exhibition of tenderness of heart on tho
part of the "anarchist queen" it would
be interesting to know whether ehe
would jump on a chair at Bight of a
mouse.
Mr. Harrison's letter of acceptance
will probably be given to the public to

The Douglas County Democrat states
that there is every indication that the
land, along the Columbia now held in
abeyance because of alleged errors in
the survey may be thrown open to set
tlement soon. The matter is now under
consideration by the treasury depart
ment. This tract comprises some of the
finest fruit lands in that section.
Miss Phoebe Callan, a Philadelphia
belle, is a scintillating exception to her
sex, which is said to never tip the
waiter. A dispenser of edibles at Eock
away beach has just received $10,000
from Miss Callan for pulling her out of
the water when she had the cramps.
Reports from St. Petersburg show an
other upward jump in the number of
new cholera cases in Russia. There
were yesterday 6,822 new cases, an . in
crease of 700 over tho previous day,
Tho deaths were 2,977, an increase of
230. In St.. Petersburg alone there were
103 new cases and 24 deaths.

Mr. Burke desires to bet $3,000 that he
will be elected governor of Idaho. Don't
do it. Better stick to the old tigor; the
odds are better.
Home rule, with the 5th clause, as
furnished to the press, is like the play
of "Hamlet" with Hamlet left out of it.
