day otherw ise devoted to presentation
o f routine testim ony. Assistant D is
tric t A ttorn ey Heney started the dis
pute by charging that Earl Rogers, an
attorney fo r the defense, had been
sm ilin g at certain members o f the jury.
There was an angry response from
John T. B arrett, o f the defense, who
declared that the prosecution had un
necessarily prolonged the trial by the
introduction o f triv ia l matters.
The subject o f the ju rors’ smiles was
about to be dismissed, when John J.
B arrett reopened the issue by sayin g:
“ I do not think we should be lec
tured by the d istrict attorney into a
state o f
seriousness regarding this
case. The prosecution has spent weeks
in a presentation o f m atter that is r i
diculous, tr iv ia l and ludicrous, attem pt
ing by the length o f tim e devoted to
th eir presentation to make the jury
think them worthy o f cons;deration.”
F or
these remarks
B arrett was
sternly reprimanded by Judge Lawlor,
who told the attorney that i f he made
another such reference he would send
him to ja il.
“ I f the court intends to punish me ”
B arrett answered, “ then what abcut
this man s ittin g over here, who has re
peatedly been perm itted to insult the
court, the ju ry and the attorneys?”
Heney at once took up the fra y and
shouted:
“ These are the ebullitions o f a man
who was appointed to office by the
crookedest m ayor the c ity ever had,
Eugene E. S ch m itz.”
“ W hy, you ’ ve been m ixed up in more
crooked work than any man in this
courtroom ,” said B arrett.
“ Mr. Heney has never insulted the
court,"thundered Judge Law lor sternly.
“ He has certain temperamental qual
ities which I have observed and made
allowance for.
He was stricken down
in this court w h ile engaged in the per
formance o f his duty, and resumed his
a c tiv itie s at an early date. Mr. Heney
is laboring under embarassments which
should appeal to the humanity o f any
individual. T h at circumstance appeals
to the court i f it does not appeal to
counsel on the other sid e.”

It is Monday afternoon.
The usual
critwd of refuse humanity clustera round
the door of the great turf exchange. Ex-
pugilists, low publicans, noblemen's but
lers that were traders on men’s weak
nesses
or
lust— greasy, brass-chained,
shovel-hatted,
brazen-throated,
hrazen-
browed— with wolfish greed of gain stamp
ed more or I pss on their features— the
hungry, gold-seeking mob oscillate round
that low doorway. The turfite's temple
never shuts; the fell war between backers
and layers never ceases. Eager murmurs
are heard midst that rulture-faced crowd.
“ He went very bad in the market this
morning.” "T e ll me they offered threes,
at the clubs.”
“ What’s wrong with
him?” “ What against The Saint?” and
similar hurried interrogatories fall on the
cnr. Now a brougham, now a well-ap
pointed cab, whose driver throws the reins
from his lavender-kidded hands to the
next tiger ; now the hansoms of ordinary-
life drop their respective occupants at
the small doorway.
The Subscription Room Is fu ll; round
the big circular desks mueh paying and
receiving is going on. The sofas round
ihe room are crowded with loungers ; the
tessellated pavement is trod by a fluctuat
ing mnss, who ebb and flow to different
points as some one or two large specula
tors vociferate the odds, or cease to do so.
It is the settling day after the broken
week at Newmarket, and sinister rumors
are rife about the first favorite for the
Tw o Thousand. He has stood at five to
two Mr a long while, but report says
that three to one has been laid and of
fered, to any amount of money, at the rac
ing clubs this morning.
Half-past four— fatal hour for many a
favorite at Tattersall's, the adjustment of
last week's accounts—-is over, and the
ring has time to turn its attention to
forthcoming events.
“ Three to one against Coriander for the
Guineas,” is vociferated in more than one
quarter. Nothing positive seems known
about the horse; but a panic has set in,
and hackers stand aloof from a wager
that yesterday they would have jumped
at. Some fpw adventurous men take the
increased odds to a little, but speedily
repent as they find the disposition to lay
that price rapidly increasing.
At this juncture I ’ earman, attired in
deep mourning, entered the Subscription
Room. It was but a few days since hia
father's funeral, and, to do him justice,
he would not have been there had not a
friend telegraphed to him early in the day
the onslaught that was being made on
Coriander. Business must be attended to,
he argued, whether racing or otherwise,
and knowing his horse to be perfectly
well, he ran up at once to town to stop
this demonstration against it.
Foremost nmong the opponents of ihe
favorite was a big, corpulent north coun
tryman, who enjoyed the reputation of
by no means throwing his money away.
In turf parlance, when he persistently bet
against a horse, “ he knew something.”
“ Here’s 1,000 to 300 against Corian
d er!” vociferated Mr. Plyart, for the sec
ond or third time.
“ Put it down to me,” said Pearra&n,
quietly.
“ Yes, sir. W ill you take it twice?"
Pearman nodded.
The bookmaker pencilled It into his
note book. The crowd, attracted by the
fact of Coriander's owner coming to the
rescue, had surged round them; but no
sooner had Mr. Plyart completed his
memorandum, than he
reiterated his
hoarse war cry of "Here's 1,000 to 300
against Coriander!” n shout in which he
was immediately joined by two or three
other large speculators.
"Put it down again, Plyart," said Pear
man. grim ly: and now, inspired with con
fidence by the way in whirl) his owner
had supported him, several backers in
vested on the favorite.
For a little, it seemed as if Coriander
would rally in the market; but the layers
of odds far exceeded the backers; and
finally came forth Mr. Plyart'» ominous
shout of “ 4,000 to 1.000 against the favor
ite for ‘The Guineas !’ “
“ I ’ll take th a t!” cried Pearman, though
his astonishment knew no bounds; and,
the bookmaker noted it, he remarked,
with a sneer, "Y ou ’ll find my horse bad
to get out of on the Tw o Thousand day.
1 don’t think vou will hedge, except at a
loss."
“ Perhaps so, sir— perhaps s o ; but I'll
bet you an even hundred he don’t start.”
"D one! and I ’ll make it .5,000, if you
like.”
'N o ; you might start him on three legs.
I won't risk more than a hundred on his
not starting : but here's 4,000 to 1,000 he
don't win, once more."
Sam Pearman shook his head, and, at
11 events for once in his life, walked out
cf Tattersall's thoroughly puzzled.
Ha
knew his horse to be perfectly well, he
had ->■ vn him that morning. As far as he
had tried him, he had never tried a three-
year-old .better. What were these ring
meD going on?
They make great mistakes at times,
these members of the magic circle. Their
brethren of the Stock Exchange occasion
ally get the worst of it also; but, as a
rule, either backers or shareholders are
justified in feeling alarm at a persistent
assault on what their money may be ¡n-
vcst«d in. The decline of the favorite for
a b!g race In the market is hardly so dis
astrous to the world in general as bank
shares dropping twenty per cent below
premium. Before Pearman left London
the next day. he was aware, from various
sources, that Coriander's status in tha
letting waa «till further shaken, and that
as much aa five to one had been offered
arninat the crack of forty-eight hoars ago.
He thought of it all the way home, and
frit mors utterly bewildered than he had
ever done before In the whole of hie t0rf
experieu«*.
Could Sam Pearman have been pretest
at a conference held In Silky Dallison'»
root's, beuveen that astute gentleman and
Grenville Rose, though he would have
been stilt a long way from enlightened on
[lie subject, yet h«' would have learned a
good deal. It was the Friday night before
Pint eventful Monday. Grenville had re
turned from Glinn the day previous. A
mouldy old parchment lay on the table
between them; it had apparently been
consulted and thrown aside.
“ Rumford says the deed is perfectly
good, and Mr. Denison is quite certain
there hat been no enfranchisement. That-«
the case, tiren, isn’t it?"
Rose nodded, and Mr. Dallison for a
few ’ minutes puffed meditatively at hit
cigar.
“ IN ell," he continued, “ the law part I
leave to you. 1 presume that is all rigb*.
Uumford’a opinion is quite good enough
to go on, and old Denison, you say, waa
quite clear there has never been an en
franchisement.
Odd there should not
have been; but no doubt Pearman de
funct was quite unaware of the existence
of our friend here;" and Dallison jerk
ed his head in the direction of the parch
ment "H e wasn’t the man to leave such
a blot in his game if he knew it. Though
for the matter of that It was no blot
so long as he lived.
Now, look here,
I must trust to you for the legal work
ing of this affair; the racing part I can
manage. W e’ ve got Sam Pearman in a
regular hole, and, better still, he doesn't
know it. I can make probably a good
bit of money out of this, both for you and
myself, without any risk whatever; but
ulterior events must decide that.
Mr,
Denison, at all events, must make a good
b it; but without hurting his interests, in
fact rather furthering them, you and I
might pick up some five thousand pounds
apiece. Do you understand?”
“ Not In the least," replied Grenville.
"W ell, there's not much necessity you
should. Leave that to me; but you must
work the legal machinery as I direct.
Can you put It in motion by Wednesday
or Thursday?”
"L e t’s say Thursday, certain," rejoin
ed Rose.
“ Very good, that will do; but don’ t
let’s have any mistakes about it.”
“ All right,” nodded the other.
“ I ’ll
guarantee that, and go down myself.”
’’Good. You told me the stake you were
playing for, to start with, and as you
are in real earnest about winning a wife,
I think one may trust you. I shall com
mence operations at once. I'll see Plyart
the bookmaker to-morrow, and put the
first part of the program in his hands.
We're going, you and I, to lay about a
couple of thousand each against Cori
ander ; and Pm going to give him free
license to do as much as he likes for him'
self.”

It Is remarkable how memory exag
gerates the events of our youth. For
this reason elderly people have always
Insisted and probably always will In
sist that the winters.now are weak and
colorless compared to those of fifty
years ago, when the snow fell on
Thanksgiving day and lasted till the
first of March and “ the ponds were
solid Ice to the bottom" and the sound
was frozen from shore to shore. As
there are no records to prove their as
sertions, they are positive of their
facts, and respect for nge and a dispo
sition to believe that the present is
rather a commonplace period compared
with past centuries, prevent younger
people from contradicting them.
As far back as accurate records haw
lieen kept the climate of the northern
hemisphere bus not changed, the Hart
ford (Conn.) Times says. From 1872
to 1907 the mean average winter tem
perature of the city of New Y’ ork has
ranged from 40.7 degrees In 1890 to
26.4 In 1904. There have been cold win
ters and comparatively warm winters,
but the average of the first three years
of the period is precisely the same as
that of the last three— 31 degrees.
The cold winters are sprinkled In at
ramlom, and do not become more nu
merous or severe ns time goes on.
They nre evidently due to local and
temporary causes, probnbly to the di
rection and force of the winds or the
shifting of the currents of the ocean,
which Inst, indeed, are affected by the
winds. For twenty-four years, from
1854 to 1878, the mean winter tempera
ture of eight of our principal c'ties
was almost exactly the same as that
of the next twenty-four years. The later
period gives an average only .015 of a
«legree higher, a gain too small to be
beyond the possibility of error. It would
seem. then, that our winters are not
growing colder.
This Is what might be expected from
the fact that the northern hemisphere
receives the same amount of heat from
the sun every year, because its average
distance Is the same. I f the sun Is
cooling down the rate Is so slow that
many thousand years must pass before
the loss of heat from the great life-
giving sources Is perceptible. As a rule
the great changes in the physical uni
verse are very rlelibernte. and. like the
tides, move first In one direction and
then back. NVe know that the arctic
regions once enjoyed a temperate cli
mate, and that Connecticut was once
covered with att ice-sheet like Green
land. Astronomers and geologists are
divided as to how many millions of
years ago these climatic changes took
place. The orbit of the earth is ellip
tic, so that we are now some three
million miles nearer the sun In winter
than we are In summer. The precession
of the equinoxes will bring It about in
time that the earth Is farther from the
sun In winter Ilian In summer. As our
planet moves faster the nearer It Is to
the sun. the result will Is* short, hot
summers and long, eold winters. The
amount of heat received by the earth
in a year will be the same, but the
effect will be very different, for there
will not be time enough to melt the
winter Ice, which will slowly gain until
we hare another glacial age In the
northern hemisphere. At the same time
the antarctic continent will be freed
from its Ice cap by the long summer,
and become the seat of civilization. Our
climate will change In a million or so
years, but at present Is fairly stable on
the average.___________________
