Newspaper Page TextTHE CORVALIJS GAZETTE, FRIDAY. JUNE 13, 1890. A REMARKABLE FRIENDSHIP. Cxlstlng Between the Famous Trotter Barns and Ills Dog Companion. No sketch of Rarus would bo com plete without some mention of hi9 re markable friendship for a dog, says a writer in the Atlantic Monthly. When the horse was in California a fireman .gave to Splan a wiry-haired Scotch ter rier pup, who was then two months old and weighed when full-grown only two pounds. Splan in turn gave the pup to Dave, the groom of Rarus, with the caution not to let the horse hurt him, for on several occasions Raru3 had 'bitten dogs that ventured into his stall. .But to this terrier, who is described a3 possessing "almost human intelli gence," the trotter took a great fancy, which the dog fully returned. They became fast and inseparable friends. "Not only," said Mr. bplan, "were they extremely foud of each other, but 1hey showed their affection plainly as did ever a man for a woman. We never took any pains to teach the dog mnything about the horse. Everything he knew came to him by his own pa tience. From the time I took him to the stable a pup until I sold Rarus they "were never separated an hour. We -once left the dog in the stall while we took the horse to the blacksmith shop, jind when we came back we found he had made havoc with everything there was in there trying to get out, while the horse, during the entire journey, was uneasy, restless, and in general acted as badly as the dog did. Dave remarked that he thought we had bet ter keep the horse and dog together after that. When Rarus went to the track for exercise or to trot a race the log would follow Dave around and sit by the gate at his side watching Rarus with as much interest as Dave did. When the horse returned to the stable After a heat and was unchecked, the dog would walk up and climb up on his forward legs and kiss him, the horse always bending his head down to re ceive the caress. In the stable, after work was over, Jim and the ahorse would often frolic like two boys, If the horse lay down Jim would elimb on his back, and in that way soon learned to ride him, and whenever I led Rarus out to show him to the pub lic Jim invariably knew what it meant, ud it enhanced the value of the per formance by the manner in which he would get on the horse's back. On tlie-e occasions the horse was shnwn the halter, and Jimmy, who learned to distinguish these events from those in which the sulkv was used, would fol low Dave and Rarus out on the quarter-stretch, and then, when the halt was made in front of the grand stand, Dave would stoop down and in a iiasli Jimmy would jump on his back, run up to his shoulder, from there leap on the horse's back, and there he would stand, his head high in the air and his tail out stiff behind, barking furiously at the people." When Rarus was sold to Mr. Bonner, Splan sent Jimmy with the horse, rightly judging that it would be cruel to separate tiiem. Rut in Mr. Bonner's stable there was a bull terrier in charge, and one day when, for some real or fancied affront, the small dog attacked the larger one, the latter took Jimmy, by the neck and was fast killing him, but Rarus heard his outcries, and per ceiving that his little friend was .in danger and distress, pulled back on the halter till it broke, rushed cut , of bis stall and would have made short work of the bull terrier had he uot been restrained by the grooms. ''?,:':'-" A Napoleon In His Way.. V A wel'-known mad doctor has Just died at Vienna. He had a large prac tice, a great reputation, and a curious, indeed a unique, experience. Napoleon was the great kingmaker of the cen tury. Prof. Lecdesdorf was the great kingdothroner. No one medical man has had so large an experience. When in 1876 Sultan Mourad V. was to be de posed and Abdul Aziz set up on the throne the professor was sent for to Constantinople, examined his royal pa tient, and promptly declared him mad. There was no appeal from the decision. Later on, when Louis II. of Bavaria was getting unusually eecentric, his Ministers did not dare take any steps. They sent to Vienna for the professor, who seems to have had no difficulty in pronouncing him mad, and the members felt their responsibility at au end. Sometimes he would be sent for to St Petersburg. The Romanoff family had failings. And the professor had to give his verdict. On all these occasions he got great fees. It was easy work. No doctor, not even a mad doctor, could doubt the insanity of the patients Pall Mall Gazelle. Tbe Match Is Off. A certain well-known New Yorker, who has to hustle for his bread and molasses, this summer fell in love with a girl, and ever since August has been on the eve of proposing to her. His income is $2,500 a year, but he wanted to be certain that be could pay all the expenses before rushing into the fray. He estimated that the rent and run ning expenses of a suburban residence would cost $1,800 a year. He allowed $350 a year for his personal expenses, and thought the girl could get along on a like sum. To be sure, he didn't ex pect to save any money while living at this rate, ' but like other young men had abounding faith in a special provi dence which would cause a long-forgotten uncle or other relative to die some time and leave him a fortune. So he asked an intimate friend of his lady-love how much the latter spent on her wardrobe during the year. The friend said: "Why, she told me only day before yesterday that her clothes cost $1,600 a year, but she did think he could get along on $1,500." The engagement has not yet been an oouuead. jV. T.

WhenTTnited States Senator Wol cot, of Colorado, was in Chicago, he was, like every other distinguished vis itor, taken to "the Auditoriums He saw everything from foundation to coe stone. and was then escorted to Mr. Peck's office, to tell the latter what he thought of it all. Wolcott is as full of fun as a goose is full of grease. After expatiating in most glowing terms upon the wonders of the great building, and speaking of the projectors and builders in terms which brought a'mod est blush to President Peck's face, the senator closed his encomiums with a story. "When I lived in New York some years ago," said he, "there was elected to the state senate a coarse, il literate fellow from the Hudson River districts named Morrissey. It wasn't John Morrissey, of course, but another. Morrissey was a rich liquor dealer, who wore loud clothes, costly jewelry and a blazing diamond. Ue was an Irish man and a jolly sort .of chap, but with a very dense" intellect. . Like many others of his kind, he was fond of big words, and affected always the lan guage of culture without knowing its use or its meaning. One time the sen ator came down to New York with some committee or other and stayed at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Everything was new to him. He stared about a good deal, but was too shrewd not to attempt to conceal his curiosity. One morning the senator was missed. He had been seen but a moment before. So it was not thought that he had left the hotel. Search was made every where, but without success. Finally one of the committee found the sena tor on the top floor of the hotel wan dering aimlessly- about. 'Why, Mor rissey. what in the world are you doing awaj" up here,' exclaimed his friend. The senator drew himself- up with a 'What's-that-to-you air.1 and after a pause said with dignity,. 'Sure I've been spending an hour in these cusp'udois, wandering pro and con!"r 'fAnd," continued Mr.' Wolcott, "as wondered 'pro and con' through the 'cuspudors' of the Auditorium I thought of poor Morrissey and what a treat it would have been to hiin to take the same journey. Chicago Herald. Savca liy the Governor. In one of the Indiana prisons is a convict who is serving a life sentence i for the commission of one of the most I horrible of crimes, says the Indianapo lis Aeias. It has been said that no man is so bad that he has not friends. The friends of this man from the be ginning of his sentence have never ceased to work for his pardon. Influ ential citizens and public officials have been induced to write personal letters to all the governors who have held office since the term of confinement be gan. Petition after petition has been prepared and hundreds of signatures secured. It is related that at one time a gov ernor was almost persuaded to pardon the man. The sentiment in his fovor seemed fairly overwhelming. As a last precaution he sent for his private sec retary to talk over the whole case with the prisoner himself. The prisoner told his story forcibly, but so glibly as to indicate that he had carefully prepared it ami committed it to memory. As his recital closed he drew a photograph of a beautiful young woman from his pocket. " "The first thing I shall do when I am released will be to marry this girl," he said. - .' ' "Who is she?" asked the visitor. "She is Miss M ," he replied, "and is the daughter of one of the rich est and prondeot families in the city of . She will hiarry ine the minute I am set free." :' "How do you happen to know her?" "Oh, that's all right. She visited the prison one time and I got acquaint ed with her. She fell in love with me at iirst sight. Don't worry about me. I'm solid with her." The secretary looked at the Dhoto- graph again. The face shown there was uehcate and reuued, and every line in dicated the confiding trustfulness of innoceut girlhood. He looked at the prisoner. Evil and sin was stamped upon every feature. When the secre tary made report to the governor he told the story of the photograph.- The chief executive pondered over it awhile, then, bringing his list down upon the desk with a force that set all its light furniture to rattling, he said: "The photograph settles it. That sweet girl and the happiness of her home and friends must not be subject ed to ruin and misery by any act of mine. The prisoner must serve his time." A New Jersey Accommodation Train. The days of old in which knights were bold have passed, but fortunately the successors to some of these old , coves are occasionally to be met with, ! even in t ,se degenerate times, borne little tiir since a pretty little German town girl sat in a bob-tail car, and op posite her was a young man who made many apparent attempts to begin a flirtation. Next to the young lady was an awkward looking youth, brawny and tall, who evidently lived on a farm in New Jersey. He observed the og ling of the man across the car for some minutes, while hi3 face assumed an ex pression of great disgust. Turning to the young lady he stammered: "Don't you want that fule to stop?" The young lady said she did. The Jerseyman arose, and without further ado grasped the flirtatious youth by the neck with one hand, yankad the bell strap with the other, opened the door, jammed the prisoner through it, and as he went out administered a parting kick. Then the farmer sat down again by the young lady, murmuring: "S-s-s-sorry I d-d-didn't her a c-cage 'n' a chain I'd eer liked ter t-t-t-take it h-home fer a p-pet. Philadelphia Press. ,- Man's Mental Superiority. Mrs. Hayseed (on a crowded New York thoroughfare) Sakes alive! How air we goin' to git acrost the street?

On July 7, 8 and 9 there will be jTi5eeflng.of ho little importance t$ bqocal horticulturists and no legs to our average citizen who lakes pride in our city's growth and that $f the country. The State Hortiouftgjral Society and the State Board of Horticulture will for the first time hold meetings outside of Portlapd. No little responsibility lests with our people in regard to this mat ter. It behooves us to make an effort to entertain the members and friends of these organizations in a manner that shall be highly creditable to our community. Though horticulture in its various phases is not a strong feature fo our industries locally, "it is one that is worthy of more and better attention than we are giving it. This coming meeting will be at tended by live horticulturists from all parts of the state, and the questions diycussed ' will be such as are of present interest to all persons growing fruit. That the attendance from a distance will be good there is no doubt. Now, if our people will just turn out and give the speakers and visitors a generous reception all will carry away with them a favorable im pression of our ci'y and vicinity that may be of no small sig nificance in our future welfare.

Cared by Cuticura. ly disease (psoriasis) Hist broke out on my Irft cheek, spreading across my nose, and almost covering my face. It ran into my eyes, and the physician was afraid I would lose my eyesight altogether. It spread all over my head, aud mv hair ail f:ll out, until I was entirely bald-headed; it then broke out on my arms and shoulders, until my arms were just one sore. It cov ered my entire body, my fac head and shoulders being the worst. The white scabs fell constantly from my head shoulders, and arm; the skin would th.cken aud be red and very itchy, and would crack and bleed if scratched. After spending many hun dreds of dollars, L was pronounced incur able. I heard of the Cuticura Kbmbdies, and aftf-r using two bottles Ccticcka liK solvent, I could see a change; aud after I hail taken four bottles, I was almost cured; and when I had used six bottles of Cuticura Kksolvent and one box of Cuticura,' and on cake of Cuticura Soap, I was cored of the dreadful disease from, which I had suffered for five years. I thought the, dis ease would leave a very deep scar, but the Uutiouka Kkmedies cured it without auy scars. I cannot express with a pen what I suffered before using the Cuticura Remr niES.
