land secured i tier last run on a wild
throw to first by Andrews. With the

From the fifth to the fatal last Inning
both teams played like clockwork and

a two-bagger. Johnson made a sacrifice

- HIGH-PRICED HORSES.
NEW YORK. Aug. 7. It looks es II
there will be some pretty spirited bidding
for Clarence Mackay's colt Mexican be
fore hepasseS into other hands, Already
330,000 has been offered and cabled- to
Mr. Mackay. Charles Hill, the trainer,
would not say whence the bid cams,, but
he did say that he thought H. P. Whit
ney, Colonel McLewee and Mr. Drake
would make offers for Mexican.
In a letter-from John Madden, who is
now In Saratoga, he says tnat Mexican
should bring $40,000 without question, as
he is engaged in every stake of impor
tance In this country for the next two
years, and ia also nominated for the
English Derby, ""There never was a colt
better engaged than Mexican," is the
concluding sentence of Madden's letter.
It is probable that all Mr. Mackay's
horses not sold at private sale will be
put up at auction In the Saratoga pad
dock about August 12, which will give
new purchasers an opportunity to enter
them in the fall stakes on the Ideal
tracks which closes on August 15.
OUT FOR THE SEASON.
NEW YORK, Aug. 7. If Veterinary
Surgeon Sheppard's latest diagnosis of
Gold Heel's injury proves to be correct,

the case, said: "The Injury was at first
believed to be a fracture of the sheaf ofl
the tendon, butj It now appears that the
horse only struck himself. 1
YANKEE BROKE DOWN.
NEW YORK, Aug. 7. Racegoers, no
doubt, will be sorry to learn that Yan

DIXON TO RETIRE.
NEW YORK. Aug. 7. It was reported
on good authority that George Dixon In
tends to retire from the ring within the
next six months. Dixon is In England,
having gone there about two weeks ago.
He went to the other side with a backer
in search of matches with any of the
foreign or American feather-weights who
are now In Europe.
On his return, which it is expected will
be the latter part of September, he will
go to Cleveland and settle In that city.
The Black Bass. Athletic Club, an organ
ization of Cleveland, has engaged the
former feather-weight champion as Its
boxing Instructor, succeeding Harry
Lemon, who has been engaged as Joe
Gans' sparring partner.
Dixon has been doing some fighting
lately, but his form Has deteriorated. He
is still exceptionally clever, and in' tha
estimation pf good judges of the ring
ought to make a capital instructor.

NATURAL BORN FIQHTER.
The Mirror of Life, a Canadian sport
ing authority, says. In discussing? the
Fltzslmmons-Jeffries contest:
"Bub Fitzslmmons is what you might

"Roh'fl father. JamM Fit anlmmona. of
Mi-lston. Cornwall -Encland. was constd-t
erfd the best man In a country fumous
for fighters and wrestlers.
"James Fitssimmons was a Cornish po
llceman and was ever ready to tackle
any of his countrymen who gave him the
slightest provocation or inducement to
fight, v
"Bob Fitzslmmons Is not the only one
of the family who is a nghber. Bob had
tnree orotners, wniiam, jairet ana Ar

William was a marine in the Royal
Navy, while Palret and Arthur, like the
ex-world's champion, were blacksmiths,
Juiret somewhat resembled his brother
Bob In features and in height.
'Jalret Fitzslmmons Was at one time
a boxer and held quite a record, and at
night when his work was done used to
spar with his -brother Bob,
"Eventually the ex-world's champion.

entered for a competition at Jem Mace's
show in Australia, which he won."

considerably short of that polled two
viaftra npn Tutlnnnl iHauna hflva Tint
fI(fured ,n i&mpsiign and the regult
of the election will offer no criterion of
the political sentiments of the country
in general. The Republicans have placed
a state ticket in nomination and hope
to make a good showing, particularly in
regard to the vote for Judges of the Su
preme Court of Chancery Appeals.
Besides the judicial ticket Tennessee
elects this year a new Governor and Rail
road' Commissioner. The Democratic
candidates for these two offices, and
whose success is assured, are James B.
Frazier for Governor and J. N. Mo Ken -
zle for Railroad Commissioner. Of
more general interest than the election
of state officer are the Congressional
contests, there being spirited fights In
several of the districts.

The directors of the Manufacturers'
Association met Tuesday night in the of
fice of Secretary Mclsaacs and discussed

Notesjm Recent Science.
Professor John Milne, the English sci
entist, sums up the cause of the earth
quakes of Mont Pelee and the Soufriere
with the Idea that some huge and wide
spread rearrangement has taken place, in
a big terrestial fold, the ridge whereof Is
represented by the affected islands. Iti
this area disturbances of the crust are
common. Earthquakes are indications of
the land movements which persist in
the relgon, while the volcanic outbreaks
represent what Professor Milne aptly
terms a relief of pressure along the fold
ings created by the movements. He as
sumes that a very considerable alteration
has thus occurred in the shape of tha
ridge, the visible portion of which ia.
known as the Lesser Antilles.- The ridge
is steeper dn Its west side than on the
eaft, so that soundings taken off Martin
ique show depths of 1200 fathoms at a
distance of five or six miles. On the
other side these depths are not met with
even fifty miles distant From the con
sideration of the - steepness Professor
Milne Is of the opinion that earthquakes
would be naturally expected to occur
along the western bonder of the fold and
volcanoes along? the ridge itself, and this
is practically what has been JUUBtrated
by the recent catastrophe "

His Last Dollar.
Maj, Gen. John Gibbons thus describes
his, meeting with Gen.': Fitzhugh Lee, at
the McLean House, Appomatox County,
Virginia, in April, 1865,; at the time of the
Confederate surrender: "Going to the
door, I found Gen. Flti Lee seated on
his horse and looking, as 1 thought,
somewhat uneasy. He had been a cadet
under me at West Point, and I had not
seen him for years. As I looked at him a
vision of the past came up before me
and I could think only of a little rollick
ing fellow, dressed in cadet gray,- Whose
Jolly songs and gay spirits wer the life
of his class. My salutation ' of 'Hello,
Fitz! Get off and come In,' seemed to
put him at his ease, at once and brought
him to his feet. He came Into the house
and told me his story. Before leaving.
with a grim humor, he took from his
pocket a 85 Confederate note, and writing
jacross Its face. 'For. Mrs. Gibbon, with
the compliments of Fit x Lee, be said:
Send that to your wife and tell her it's

GOMPERS AND GEER
Charles; Mickle7 Tells Good 0n
. About Them Shook Hands.
Charles Mickiey, president of the Fed
erated Trades Council, tells of a very
amusing incident which he witnessed at
the" recent labor meeting hejd at Salem
and thinks that it would be a good sub
ject for a cartoonist to investigate.
Qovernor-Geer was chairman of tnc
meeting and at Its conclusion expresseu
a desire to shake hands with each of the
labor leaders and have a personal -talk
with them. Accordingly he was intro
duced . to President Gompers. Now
Gompers is a very corpulent man, but
short of statue, 'standing? not over five
feet and four Inches high. Geer, on
the contrary, is thin, but is about six
and a half feet -tall..
As, they stood shaking 'hands and ex
changing compliments, Mr. Mickiey says
that the great contrast in their general
makevbp presented one of the most comi
cal scenes he ever witnessed, and a sup
pressed smile went around the circle of
onlookers. .
Gompers . had to raise his hand for
above him to reach the extended palm or
the Governor, while hia head was thrown
back on his broad hsoulders In order
that he might meet the full gaze of
Geer's beaming countenance.
. "I would liked to have had a snap-shot
of them," said Mickiey. "It was a
scene that will always jemember."
UPflOLDS GEN. SMITH.
An altogether different view of Gen
eral Jacob Smith's order "to kill and
burn" is taken by an olu Civil War and
Spanish-American War veteran. 'J n ol
lowtng ia an interview with him on the
subject:
'"A good soldier makes no plea for him
self, and in my opinion General Jacob
Smith was unfortunate. Mr. Roosevelt
has retired him: that is sufficient. But
there are times in warfare where Bet. ,
rigid rules cannot be either efficacious or
advantageous.
"Sir Herbert Kitchener,- now England's
latest hero, accepted the glve-or-take-no-quarter
proposition handed him by
the dervishes. He accepted it because ne
had to protect the Red Cross men who
would receive a bullet in the back from
ii dying man while handling water to a
fallen foe. The difference between the
two cases Is hot so "great as an ununl
formed citizen might think. But Lord
Kitchener conquered the Soudan because
he had a free hand and an empty scab
bard, and Lord Roberts marched to Pre
toria because he declined to be inter
fered with 'in his plans. , Yet -again,
Kitchener was at the front and the war
news reported . 'Kitchener, 'diplomats
statesman, soldier and victor.'
"Those who know the treachery of the
men with whom General Smith had to
deal with give him their sympathy. Mr.
Roosevelt could do nothing under the
circumstances. The fine old man who
admitted the "burn and take no pris
oners" order, and who took the whole
blame on his own shoulders, refused.
even on his arrival in his own coun
try, to bo Interviewed, and simply and
silently bowed to his President's con
damnation.' He has not stooped to give
the details of bis reasons. It is un
fortunate . that the President himself
could not have had a confidential talk
with the retired General. (Most true
patriots will be disposed to think not too
harshly of a man who was exasperated
by the murderous deeds of Bemi-savages
deeds which emptied many American
homes and caused millions of tears."
Lyman Gage's Humble Start.
There was in our town a small bank,
and this institution had always - pos
sessed a fascination for my youthful
mind. I used to watch the merchants
going in with bags of gold and bundles
of 'greenbacks In. their hands. I knew
that the bank had some connection with
the Government, and, being greatly im
pressed with its dignified appearance and
the actions ot its officers. I was seized
with a desire to work within its walla,
When I applied for a position, I learned
that there 1 was no likelihood of a va
cancy occurring in the near future; so
when I was offered a place In a local
stationery shop at a salary of a hundred
dollars a year, I accepted wlfh alacrity.
The- wages 'were small, indeed, but in
this shop I was privileged to become ac
quainted with general literature, and
spent many an hour with the great au
thors. So the months with the stationer
were not without profit. After a time
there was a rival bank established in the
town, and I was offered the position of
"messenger and general , assistant, "at
the same old salary of a .hundred dollars
a year. I didn't hesitate, but left the
store to enter the bank, and so began my
career In the financial world. My duties
as "general assistant" were many and
varied. I was janitor, first of all, and
attended to the heating of the building.
I made many trips every day ' to the
cellar for coal, and I used to think the
officials most extravagant when they in
sisted on a fire when the days were com
paratively warm. I was obliged to keep
the front sidewalk clear of dirt in the
summer and of snow in the winter, and
had to sweep the floor of the banking
room daily, and dust the desks and fur
niture frequently. Success for August.
A Little Secret.
A dressmaker told me a secret the other
day that should prove of value to the
dainty .summer girl. It was all about the
making of the little slips that are worn
under the thin waists.
" ."You know," said she, "that one can
buy white Swiss embroidery very cheap
ly. Well, I get the wide kind, that Is the
kind that has about eight Inches of holes
and scrolls end Is white muslin on top.
By paying 40 cents a yard Irget embroid

MONKEYS WORK
Pfck
Nets .Wore Skillfully Than
Human Beings.
Brazilian nut-growers will soon be us
ing hundreds of monkeys as laborers on
their plantations.
- The' experUnent was tried by a promi
nent planter two years ago, and now he
has a well -trained band of 50 of the mis
chievous little animals, who do more
work In the -gathering of nuts and do it
more thoroughly than men.
This planter recently told of his cus
cess. Incidentally claiming for the mon
key a much higher ordeer of intelligence
than that of any other: animal.
"At one time, he said, "I used to em
ploy a large, staff of natives to climb the
trees and pick the nuta, but. one day 1
noticed a couple of monkeys swinging
themselves from tree to tree, picking nuts
tyid throwing them on the ground. The
ideif struck me that If X could manage to
train some of these animals to pick the
nuts' and throw them into baskets placed
under the trees I should save myself
something considerable in wages every
menth. ' '
"I followed out this idea, and In a few
months I possessed a small staff of
monkers who got through their work
4nnr than wlrA an nulcklv a, mv hu
man pickers and with nrjch less waste of
t'rr.e. All hat was necessary was to
hi.ve a man to look after the animals
v.hile they,-worked, "and, finding them
oxtraordlnarlly-fond of music, these meti
sing and 'play while they are watching
the progress of the picking. The monkeys
I f-nd will work much better; .if they aro
humored In this reespct. , '
"As I say, I have now four dozen of
thesu Queer workmen on my estate.
"The monkeys are treated very welt
indeed, I can assure you,' for I am a firm
believer In kindness to animals. Thoy
will do more by kind treatment than by
ur.y ampunt of severity. It Is very sel
dom that the monkeys have to be pun
ished, and then I always perform the
task myself, never leaving it to the
native foreman. Thus, knowing that
any misconduct Is Invariably followed by
retribution, the members' fit my curious
staff -.are very careful in their behavior.
s'l am adding slowly to my dumb em
ployes, but I have to do this with great
care. When my plantation is visited by
a band of wild monkeys a temporary de-
