Most people are probably of the opinion that the goat and the ostrich rank highest as omnivorous animals. It is not so gen- erally known, however, that a cow takes often very curious things into her stomach. ‘The United States Department of Agricul- | ture has given space, in its exhibit in the government building at the Chicago fair, to a collection of various objects which have been taken from the stomachs of cattle killed for beef at the Chicago stock yargs. Tee most amazing of these objects is the fron tooth of a huge western hay rake, such as is drawn by two horses upon the western prairies. This iron tooth is curved, and is four feet and eight inches long, by about a quarter of an inch thick. It was | taken from the stomach of a Texas steer, which was to all external appearances in the best of health when killed. From the stomach of another Texas steer was taken an iron bolt thirteen and one-half inches long by five-eights of an inch thick. Of the truth of the finding of these objects inside the animals in question there seems to be no doubt. The objects are on exhibition, accompanied by the names of the men who loan them. In a rather small cow were found objects 2s follows: One Masonic emblem, one dime, one copper cent, two watch rings, one fin- ger ring and a number of stones. In an- other cow's stomach were found one silver dollar, one silver watch chain, one brass hair pin, a door knob and seven nails or ieces of nails. MOne of the most curious features of this remarkable collection is a lot of twenty- three hair balls. These were all found in the stomach of a Texas cow which butchered at the stock yards here only short time ago. When she was killed the animal was in good health, but small. She Weighed, when dressed for beef, 350 pounds. These hair balls are each a perfectly solid hard circular maxs. The largest one is| five inches in diameter and the smallest about an inch and a half. The balls are hair comes off and adheres to the tongue. It is then swallowed, and once in the stomach, is rolied up and compressed into the globular mass described. Harvey. All invited.

The water has been in excellent condition every evening for weeks, and this with the pleasant temperature has caused re- newed activity among the boat houses. Just now the three boat clubs are par- ticularly interested in the annual Potomac river regatta, which is to come off on the afternoon of Saturday, September It Promises to be one of the most successful events of the sort ever held in this city. ‘The regatta committee, which is made up of three members from each club, have been busy making arrangements for this Great day, and judging by the amount of interest that is shown their efforts are pretty certain to be crowned with success. The committee consists of the following Columbia etic Club, Alex. Grant, chairman; S. W. Stinemetz and W. &,, Smith: Potomac Beat Club, Oscar P. Schmidt, secretary; Michael Quinn and J. Doyle; Analostan Boat Club, W. A. McKenne: 3 a Y —— Louis L. Perkins One of the most important matters that they have had to deal with is that of tun to defray the expenses of the regatta. The expenses are very considerable, some es are given, and. the visiting 4 via From other dities mart be well ans Inasmuch as this accession of men from out of town brings ‘a considerable amount of money heres the Fegatta committee are in hopes that they men Tecelve liberal assistance from busin: and others. ae 3 Seven Races. ‘There are to be seven races in the regatta, Junior singles, senior singles, four-oared sigs, junior four-oared shells for the Mason cup, senior four-oared shells for The Even- ing Star cup, junior eight-oared shells and intermediate eight-oared shells for the Washington Post cup. ‘All races will be rowed over the national course, one and a half miles, with one turn, excepting the eights, which will be one and a half miles straightaway. The rules of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen will gov- ern all races. A handsome gold medal will be given to each winning contestant, and in addition a handsome banner to the win- ning crews in fours and eights. ‘ashington, for the first time, will have an opportunity to see a mile and a half Face with @ turn. The course ts from the Analostan Boat House, three-quarters of a | mile down and back, so that it will be pos- sible to see both the beginning and en: the race from the same place. ‘The three cups which are to be contested for are very handsome mementoes, and have been fought for before on the Poto- mac, The Evening Star cup is an annual trophy and represents the champtonsh! of senior fours. The Washington Post an Mason cups are to become the property of the clubs winning them three consecutive times, ‘The commodious boat houses will be thrown n for the use of visiting oarsmen during the time of the regatta and a reception committee has been appointed to take care of their crews and boats, and special rates at hotels have been obtained for the visi- tors. Entries will be received up to and in- gluding, September 6 by Mr. Oscar P. Schmidt, secretary of the committee. ‘The Passaics of Newark, N. J., now hold ‘The Star and Post cups, and it'is thought that they will send crews over this year in an effort to retain the trophies. The Neptunes of Baltimore will send over senior four and a junior single, and it is thought that other clubs will also be repre- sented. Commodore George W. Statzell of the Schuylkill navy, has been appointed referee for the regatta. He is booming up an interest in the affair in Philadelphia and will probably bring over several crews with him. All the Crews Hard at Work. All the crews from the different local clubs are hard at work every evening train- ing hard for the races. On the river now may be seen three distinct styles of hand- ling the oars. The medium, or slow stroke of forty of the Columbias, the fast get- there style of the Analostans, and the slow Bob Cook stroke of the Potomacs. The Columbias are modeling their stroke on that taught by Courtney, which has prov; so successful with the crews from Cornell. The crews are practically all selected, though there may be a few minor changes made before the regatta. ‘The Columbia's senior four is made up of Kenyon, Johnson, Dewdney and Blount. This crew will also compose their gig crew. The Junior four 1s Mann, McGowan, Lewis and Burroughs. The junior eight will be made up of the latter four with Van Mater, Eaton, Wilson and McGee, with Fay us coxswain. Eugene Johnson’ will represent them in the senlor singles, They are being coached by Lieut. Andy Smith. The Analosten senior four is Perkins, Chandler, Fisher and Sterns. This wili aiso probably be their gig crew if they de- eide to start in that race. The junior eight consists of Howard, Perry, Ross, Long- street, Carmon, Ballantine, McCoy and Phillips. If they win the junior eight five men will be selected from this crew, and with the addition of Chandler, Perkins and Stearns, will compose the’ intermediate eight. if the Columblas win they will put thelr junior crew right in the intermedi- ates. ‘The Potomac junior four is composed of G. VonDachenhausen, Mack, A. Von Dach- enhausen and Maurice. The junior eight is Oliver, Johnson, Gaddis, Roulette, Nolan, Rohrer, ‘Spurgeon’ and Jones, with E. F Riggs as coxswain. The senior four wi also probably start, though this is not cer- tain. If it does it will consist of Dye Blair, Exner and Smithson. Smithson wili resent them in the senlor singles and Blatr in the juniors, It is thought that the juntor eight will be the prettiest and hardest fought battle of the day, as a great deal of interest is taken in this by all the local clubs, and each crew is out for blood. of —$—<—__ More Seats Needed in the Park: To the Editor of The Evening Star: I notice that the seats are gradually bein; removed from Mount Vernon Square, and understand that such is the case with other rks. I do not know why this Is. being lone, but I do know that it is working a aes hardship on those who are in tl Folng to these “breathing places’ for a Mttle rest and fresh air. I am sure that if the one who is responsible for this wrong would go ther@some evening and see tne poor, tired and worn-out people and children "to whom this park has been a refuge and relief from ‘the hot, homes in which they, if he has a drop of the “milk of human kindness” in his body—would order them back. Many of the children who frequ:nt this park come from 7th street, where they live over stores, with never a place to play and exercise themselves as children should. ‘They come with pale, sallow faces and thin bodies, the results of our artificial way cf living ‘and so-called “civilization,” and our government, or some heartless officer of it, would take away the seats where they might rest their tired bodies. The big chii- dren often come with gregt babies in’ their arms, now with no place to rest. Invalids, too, have made use of this park, but if there are no seats this pleasure must be denied them. As I was seeking a seat «which I did not find), in company with my mother, who is an invalid and goes in a chair, I met an old lady, upward of eighty years old, who has been in the habit of sitting in the park evenings for years, de- ploring the scarcity of seats and the ab- sence of a place to rest her weary old bones. The very object of these park defeated in the taking out of the sea hope The Star, with its accustomed zei the people, will take the matter up. CHAUNCEY R.

The Good Effects of the Encampment —A Brilliant Military Ball—A Mule in His Tent—Notes. Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP ALLISON NaILor, ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., August 25, 1898. Camp Allison Natlor presenved a rome- what different appearance today from that which met the gaze yesterday morning. The greater portion of the grounds are stil very wet, but as a small plot was dry this morning, guard mount was held within the inclosure. A beautiful exhibition of drilling took place. The inspection of the suns de- veloped the fact that though they got drenching wet in the storm, the boys had lost no time in cleaning them up and mak- ing them present their usual fine appear- ance. It was intended to take the command down on the beach this morning at 6 o'clock, immediately after roll call.and pass an hour or two going through the evolu- tions of ‘the extended onder. or skirmish drill. Owing to the high state of tne tide, it was found impossible to hold the drili there, so Maj. Ross, not to be outdone in having a drill, had the battalion drawn up near the hotel, and after issuig tyelve rounds of ammunition to each man, a mag- nificent exhibition of volley, company, and individual firing took place. Now that the encampment Is drawing to a close after some very eventful experien- ces, a general review of the week develops some very interesting facts in regard to military encampments. ‘That military camps are a success kas been shown by the rapid development that has taken place during the time when the Weather would admit the vse of. the frounds or the streets.

There was a grand full dress military ball at the Casino last evening in honor of the | visiting soldier boys that will not soon be forgotten by elther:the brass-buttoned war- riors from Washington or the fair ladles that were present in force from Atlantic City. At 8 o'clock the assembly sounded and the Light Infantry, attired in their white coats, with fatigue caps, and the War Depart: ment Guards, arrayed in the full dress uni- form of the National Guard, assembled 1n | front of the hotel and, headed by the band, “Twos right” was presently given and a} start was made for the Casino. Arriving at the scene of the evening's leasure a beautiful sight was presented. ‘he ball room, which was crowded with guests who had assembled to do homage to the soldiers, was profusely decorated with cut flowers, palms, ferns, silk stream- ers and bunting, and the scene was one of fairyland.

As the military entered the ball room the rchestra struck up the beautiful strains of ‘Our guests,” and complimentary remarks were heard on all sides on the soldierly and hardsome appearance of the boya, as they marched around the hall with gallant Col. Moore in command. After marching around in fours, regimental front was formed, ex- tending all the way round the hall, and when ranks were broken it took only a short time for the boys to find their way to the sides of the charming ladies in waiting. Some of the Gues Dancing began at nine o'clock and was kept up till quite late, everybody claiming that the evening had been passed in a charming manner.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP CECIL CLAY, HARPER'S FERRY, W. Va., Aug. 2, 1898. Today 1s the hottest in the experience of this camp, and the cloudless sky offers no Protection from the fierce rays. Were ‘t not for the breeze it would be unbearable. Yesterday evening a stiff wind sprang up suddenly and played on the flaps and files of the tents pretty lively for a few mo- ments, and as suddenly died away. It was probably a strong whiff from the damaging storms elsewhere. The shade of the mul- berry and locust trees is well patronized by the military, and the many hammocks never lack occupants. It is pretty hot for the Camp Clay war- riors, but they are making it still hotter for the numerous wild goats on the mountain sides. This morning several hunters be- longing to this camp started forth “to bring back the horns” of the festive billy goat. Others stood on the camp grounds and saw, or they thought they saw, the white goats on the roel They loaded their guns, raised the sights to infinity and fired. Mr. J. R. Imbrie of Washington, summering in the pretty cottage on the ciiff near camp, remarked that he was not at all alarmed about those goats. Private Halford and Drum Maj. Frazer are among those who claim a dead goat. The “bleak house” was well patronized last night. The many Washington friends of Private Costello would probably like to know what the “bleak house” is.

The strangers’ galleries of the house of commons were crowded early last even- ing to suffocation by persons eager to wit- ness the last scenes in the report stage of the home rule bill. The proceedings of the evening were dis- appointingly tame. Timothy Healy, anti- Parneliite, got the floor about 10 o'clock and talked until 11, merely to prevent Mr. Balfour, the unionist leader, from winding up the debate. William Johnston, an Ul- ster loyalist, tried to cut Mr. Healy sn: but without success. The house became restless and cries of “Divide” drowned Mr. Healy’s volce so It was impossible to hear a sentence during the last five min- utes of his speech. At ll o'clock the speaker began to put the eighteen government amendments standing in the name of John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland. Only two of the eighteen were challenged by the oppos' tion. In each division the government's majority was thirty-eight. When the last amendment was pronounced carried the liberals and Irish, who had shown only alight enthusiasm during the previous pro- ceedings, burst out with loud and repeat- ed cheers. The opposition remained silent. The speaker announced the third reading of the home rule bill for next Watnentey, e and without further demonstration house adjourned. The New York Police Believe in Active Policy. There were two sudden changes sade yesterday by the New York poifce in the matter of dealing with the so-called anarch- ists and with the striking longshoremen. ‘These changes were evidently ordered by Superintendent of Police Byrnes. ‘The first was the appearaace on South street of Police Inspector Williams, with three captains and a squad of reserves, all under orders to prevent rioting and to ar- rest any one attempting .o interfere with the men who have taken the places of the strikers. As a result everything was quiet along South street yesterday. The second change was a joint. move on the part of the police department and dis- trict attorney to secure the arrest of the men who have been endeavoring to stir the unemployed, by speech and «ction, up to From present indications it looks as if Emma Goldman, Lena Siegel, her compan- fon, and some of the male agitators who have been seeking to create trouble will find themselves behind prison bars in a very short time. Everything was very quiet in the camp of the so-called anarchists yesterday. soo FIGHTING IN MEXICO, Reports of Two Battle: ber Killed.

MARYLAND’S JUDGES. A Bitter Fight Being Waged Over the Vacant Seats. Wicomico County the Scene of War- fare—First Circuit Candidates— Gov. Brown’s Appointments. Correspondence of The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, August °3, 1693. The most complicated and interesting sit- uation in Maryland politics this year Is that in the first Judicial circuit, composed of Dorchester, Somerset, Worcester and Wi- comico counties. Under the judiciary svs- tem of Maryland there is a state court of appeals, consisting of a chief judge and seven associates, a supreme bench for hal- timore city, consisting of a chief judge and five associates, and seven circuit or county courts, embracing the twenty-three counties of the state. Each of these circuit courts has a chief judge and two associates, end the chief judges make up the state court of appeals, with the exception of cne judge, who comes at large from Baltimore city. Gov. Brown during the first vear of his administration had seven judges to appoint to fill vacancies caused by death and resig- nation. All of these appointm:nts were for unexpired terms, and the appointees are candidates for nomination and lection this year. Two of them are in the first circuit, Judge and ex-Congressman Henry Page of Somerset, who was appointed chief judge while a member of the last Congress to suc- ceed the late Judge Levin T. H. Irvinz, and Judge and ex-Gov. Henry Lioyd of Dor- Chester, appointed ‘associate judge to suc- ceed the late Judge Charles’ F. oldsbor- ough. In addition to these two candidates each of the other counties has one, Asso- clate Judge Charles F. Holland of Wicomico being a candidate for the chief judgeship against Judge Page, and Claytoa J. Pur- ell of Worcester a candidate ‘or associate judge against Judge Lioyd. ‘Thus there are ay candidates for three judgeshins, all of whom, unless there is some change before the convention meets, will stay in the fight until the last horn blows. Three of them, Page, Lloyd ani Holland, it is seen, are already on the bench. ‘The gonvention will be held at Ocean City on Wednesday, September 6, and as matters now stand it will meet with a deadlock. ‘There will be sixteen votes :n the conven- tion, four from each county. Page and Lloyd have made a combination in Somer- set and Dorchester, with eight ~otes, bound by the unit rule, while the eight votes of Worcester and Wicomico will go to Hol- land and Purnell, Both sides are playing for big stakes, and apart from politics there are rsonalities entering into the fight, which have engendered a great deal of bit- terness, and make it more difficult to fore- cast the result. Wicomico county is the disturbing ele- ment in the fight. It accepts this ae the opportunity to settle a number of old scores with Judge Page auc Gov. Brown, and is making open warfare upon bot’ of them. The casus bell against Judge Paxe are cer- tain alleged political shortcomings while member of Congress iu uc: giving Uv proper attention to the claims of Wicomico with regard to the dintributioa of patronage and because he did ast give the vote of Somerset to State or ‘oadvin of Wicomico in the conyeation which nomi- nated Page's successor in Congress atte: he had been appuintel to the bench. Th Wicomico claims, it had a right to expect, as it was by the vote of the Wicomico delegation that Page was nominated for Congress over Gibson in the memorable convention which shattered Senator Gib- son's hopes and when he never dreamed that the higber elevation to the Senate Was 80 soon to be within his . Had Page given bis county to Toadvin in the subsequent convention Wicomico claims that he would have gone to Congress in- stead of Robert F. Brattan. Wicomico County. For these reasons Wicomico people say they owe Page nothing. That they have aided him in his ambitions several times and when the opportunity came he failed to return it. These things, they say, are remembered now and there is no reason why Wicomico should give up its own can- didate and support Page. But it ts never- theless true that Holland would never have been interjected into this fight as a candi- date for caief juage and would have never aspired beyond tne associate judgeship, which he now holds, had it not been for a suddenly developed desire for revenge at one and the same time upon Judge Page and Governor Brown. The quarrel with Governor Brown is because of policies aud “ppointments unsatistactory to the county, which find their beginning shortly after his inauguration. When Governor Jack. son Went out of office his brother-in-law, J, Granville Rider of Wicomico, was one’ of the fish commissioners for Maryland by his (Jackson's) appointment. Jackson ex- pected that Governor Brown would retain him, but instead he appointed a Somerset county man, Sudler. Jackson, sore to the quick with the party leaders for being twice defeated in his senatorial aspirations, has nurtured this, along with his other Wrongs, either real or imaginary, and has waited an opportunity to strike back. In addition to this, after Governor Brown had vetoed the assessment bill passed by the last legislature Judge Holland made some severe strictures upon his action, which, in view of his own position on the bench and the position of the governor, and because of the further fact that the friends of Holland had unsuccessfully urged him for appointment by the gover- nor to fill out the unexpired term of Judge Irving, instead of Page, were generally commented upon. Brown in a brief but pointed newspaper interview made a re- tort that silenced Holland's criticisms, but shortly thereafter Holland’s friends brought him out as a candidate before the people in opposition to Page. Thus are the lines drawn and thus has the feeling in Wicom- ico been intensified against Governor Brown and his appointee, Judge Page. Worcester's Position. Worcester county is hardly to be blamed for her position. She has no score to settle, no debts to pay against anybody, but is simply, most naturally endeavoring to se- cure a resident judge. To attain this end the Worcester delegation is willing to make any combination that will help nominate Purnell. An alliance with Somerset or Dorchester being impossible, Worcester is forced to join forces with Wicomico. Wor- cester is isolated from the rest of the cir- cult, and cannot get a judge from one of the other counties, however urgent the ne- cessity, in less than two days. This fight has brought together again ex-Governor Jackson and State Senator John Walter Smith, who head the Wicomico and Worces- ter delegations respectively. Senator Siuith Was one of the most aealous supporters of Governor Jackson in his canvass for the governorship, but was compelled to go aginst him each time that he was a candi. date for the United States Senate, the first Ume his support going to the late Senator Wilson, who was from his own county. and the second time he was a candidate himself. It the Page-Lioyd combination wins the bench will remain as it is—Page, chief Judge; Lioyd and Holland.associates: and if the opposition is successful it will be Hol- land, cntet judge; Lioyd and Purnell, asso- ciates. It is certain that if the present bench is renominated there will be no re- publican opposition, while, on the other pand, any change by the ‘convention will insure republican nominations and a v ou ten id @ vigor- ‘The interests of Page and Lloyd are so thoroughly united that they must hold to- gether and both of them repudiate all over- tures or proposed combinations looking to- ward the advancement of élther one at the expense of the other. Judge Lloyd refuses to have anything to do with a proposed combination by Which he is to be made ehlef judge and Holland and Purnell as- sociates, and Judge Page's friends say that if he should be nominated and Lloyd de- feated by any treachery on the part of any one of Somersets’ delegates Judge Page will decline the nomination. There is No opposition in Wicomico to Judge Lioyd, except in so far as his success will inter. fere with Judge Holland's advancement. Thus with public sentiment divided, as it is in Wicomico, Holland's own county, and the county of ex-Governor Jackson, whose lead there has always been followed, with public sentiment all over the state support- ing them and with half of the votes in the convention absolutely sure, the inevitable result seems to be ultimately the renomina- tion of Judges Page and Lloyd.

A party consisting of Bi Biondi, Drs. W. Burns, Sousa and T. A. Burns went for a raid on a neighboring pear orchard. They were soon followed by Quarter- master Se-geant Biondi and others, who intended to act as white caps.

Reveille at 6 o'clock awakened all hands but one, who was not even aroused by the firing of the morning gun. But the mess call for breakfast was another story, and heard with much interest. After the first meal of the day the fol- lowing guard was mounted by Lieut. Griffiths, officer of the day: Sergt. Murray, sergeant of the guard; Corp. Jones, corporal of the guard; Privates Dyer, . Burne, Kreig and Jacobson. Instead of the morning mounted drill Capt. Forsberg ordered Gatling gun prac- tice. The guns were rapidly in po- sition on the ridge, pointing down river. A floating target, ofa = bar- rel, was buoyed 60 yards out. can- noheer sighted the gun for himself and fired ten rounds. The shooting was re- markably good, very few missing the tar- get. When towed in it was found to have been literally riddied. When the cannoneers had finished Forsberg thought it advisable that drivers also should be acquainted with the handling of the gun. and accordingly they in-turn went through the process of load, ing and firing, with remarkably good results. The same exercises were gone through this afternoon with a 1,000-yard range. ‘The mounted drill this afternoon was of @ most interesting nature, all movements being executed either at a trot or gallop.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. “I once answered an advertisement,” said Hugh Meadows, who is at the South- ern, “which offered, in return for a $i bill, to send an infallible remedy for the habit of leaving one's umbrella behind in offices, and more especially in vehicles. As a mon- ey maker that advertiser was a distinct genius, for in response to my application and in return for my dollar I re- ceived a printed slip about four inches by three in size, with a picture of a mah alighting from a hack with an open um- brella, which had got stuck fast in the door. Below the picture, which it war explained was purposely drawn out of perspective, were a few lines explaining that if a man would once impress the pict- ure on his mind he would think of it every Ume he left a vehicle or car, and would be prevented thereby from leaving his um- brella behind. 1 was in such a rage at being swindled, as 1 thought, that the in- cident and illustration both became photo- staphed in my mind's eye, and to do the advertiser justice that dollar has certainly saved me many dollars a year in umbrel- las.

The Race Yesterday of the Royal Dart Yacht Club. The regatta of the Royal Dart Yacht Club, of which O. H. Studdy ts commodore, took place yesterday. The course was in the English channel, starting from a mark boat off Dartmouth, and sailing to and around a mark boat in the channel. The course was sailed over four times, making @ total distance of forty miles. Among the contestants were the Calluna, Satanita and Navahoe. It was expected that the Britan- nia would take part in the race. She was all ready to do sv, but just before the start her captain received a telegram from the Prince of Wales, ordering her not to sail. It is conjectured that she was w because of the recent death of the Duxe of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who was an uncle of the Prince of Wales. ‘The yacht Satanita was the first to cross the line. She was followed almost imme- diately by the Calluna and Navahve, neith- er of which had any advantage ‘of the gther in getting away, except that the Navahoe was to the windward. Before the first round was finished the Calluna gave up and withdrew. The Satanita won the race.
