Starter Caldwell Tries Twice to Shoot the Notorious “Sport.” James F. Caldwell, the “Prince of Start- ers,” as he is familiarly called, and Jere Dunn, who of late years has been running horses at Guttenburg, Gloucester and other winter tracks, had a “run-in” at the Hoff- man House, New York, about 9 o'clock last night, and it is the greatest wonder that one of the men was not shot. Some time ago Dunn made open charges that Caldwell purposely left his horse, Vil- lage Maid, at the post. Caldwell had a great habit in leaving all Dunn's horses at the post, and Dunn claimed this was done through malice. The men have been look- ing for each other. They have gone up and down Broadway searching for each other. Last night Caldwell was at the Hoffman House early. He was accompanied by Bob Drew, who is a trainer for Jack McAuliffe. | He was told that Dunn was in town, and he Started on the war path. He paid a visit to the other hotels in his search for the man who had libeled him. In the meantime, Jere, fresh from Jersey, ropped in at the St. James Hotel. “Cald- wells —— tor you with blood in his narked one of the loungers in the lobby. “is that so?” said Jere, inquiringly. “Well, let him come on.” But Jere did not wait for James, the hero of many a street and hotel fight, to come on.

The prince of start- ers, with an oath, and without any warn- ing, started for the owner of Village Maid. “Tl have your life,” said Caldwell, and he made a pags at Jere’s bewhiskered face. ‘The next moment he was lying on the mar- ble tiled floor of the big bar room. He made an effort to draw his gun, but Billy Ed- wards was on him in a second and frus- {t was certainly only in- | terference that prevented murder. The men | Were dragged away from each other. Dunn was taken to the Hoffman House. Caldwell got away from his friends, and with his hand tightened on the butt of his | revolver started in quest of Jere. He found him in the Hoffman House lobby.

He was then re- moved by force from the -hotel and sent home. ———__-e-+_____ BACKWOODs PIETY. iow a Country Preacher Rose Superior to the Temptations of Satan. From the New York Herald. She was from the country, but she didn't intend to take backwater on any- thing on that account if she could help it. Piety was the subject of discussion, and Sister Jane, who lived in a town that made some pretensions to being considered a city, had been expatiating on the immaculate righteousness of Parson Jenkins. Sister Belinda bided her time until her innings came round and then took the floor. “I don’t mind allowin’,” she said, “that Parson Jenkins is a powerful religious man, but when it comes to downright wrestlin’ with Satan, an’ resistin’ his wiles an’ temp- tations, why, I stands right up in meetin’ an’ says that our Parson Goodfriend can’t be beat by no man. He don't run a soup kitchen "cus we don’t have no use for sich things down our way, an’ he don’t go slummin’ ‘cus we ain’t got no slums, but he’s always ready for a tussle with the ad- versary, no matter how many snares an’ pitfalls he sets for his feet. “You know, he keeps a maple grove onto | his little lace, ai.” he sets a powerful store by ‘em, Well, it hadn't been very good sugarin’ weather at the time I'm speakin’ of. It had been frizzin’ considerable night times, but it hadn’t thawed out any day-| times, an’ the sap hadn’t had a good chance to run. But Parson Goodfriend wuz allers @ great hand for takin’ time by the fore- lock, so he got his holes bored an’ his spouts druv in an’ nis buckets set so as ter have everything ready to take advantage | ~ Bia right sort of weather when it came ng. “Well, he done that on a Wednesday, an’ trees of his never dripped a drop on Thursday, nor on Friday, nor on Saturday; but on Sunday the sun shone out powerful warm an’ everything was a thawin’. An’ when he went to look at his trees on Mon- day mornin’—‘cus, of course, he wouldn't let himself think of them even on a Sunday —he found that his sap troughs an’ buckets wuz just brimful. Then what do you think he done?” “Why, I suppose he did what any other man would have done,” replied Sister Jane. “He took the sap away to make maple su- gar out of it.” “Yes, that’s what Parson Jenkins would a-done, no doubt,” said Sister Melinda, tri- umphantly, “an’ it just proves what I'm tellin’ these facts for—there ain’t no more pious man livin’ than our Parson Good. friend. No, he didn’t shout for joy an’ take that sap away, but he just flopped down on his knees right then an’ there an’ he says— it wuz my own cousin what heard him—'‘Get thee behind me, Satan; you can’t tempt me with any Lord’s day sap.’ An’ then he riz up an’ he emptied every last drop of the stuff onto the ground, an’ next Sunday he preached the most convincin’ sermon I ever heard on the wiles of the wae one.” ——0 — ALL FOR A JUG OF WHISKY. An Indiana Farmer Shovels Fourteen Hundred B els of Wheat tn One Day. From the Chicago Herald. They have what they call a “Farmers’ Club” down at Decatur, Ind. It is com- pesed of about a dozen gentlemen, each one of whom owns a lot of land, but not one of whom has turned a foot of furrow in the last ten years. They are great story tellers, and after they have discussed all public questions and saved the country by decid- ing the tariff, firancial and othe> questions, they amuse each other by telling some inci- dent a past rather interesting life has pro- daveed. One day they were telling about the hard- est day's work. They like to talk of hard work, and encourage quite a rivalry in that sort of reminiscence. Henry Wilson told | how he had split a thousand rails in a day one time, and the next man Mr. Betticord related the incidents of a forty- mile march under a b-oiling July sun down | in Georgia. Jack Hammerly remembered having cradled seven and one-half acres of oats from sun to sun, and then it became T'll tell you I used to be a drinking man.” “Used to be?” interjected two or three. “Yes, used to be. I had a habit of taking a jug of liquor when I went home, as I) lived about seven miles from town. And I would slip the jug out of the wagon and bury it in a bir of wheat. My wife aiways had one drink in a bottle at the house— never more than one—and when I got ight dry she would let me have it. “But after I took to bringing the jug home she got suspicious. She couldn’t un- derstand how I could stay happy so long on her poor little singJe drink. So she watched me. One time I came home all tangled up, drove into the barn and hurri y jug into the granary, where I buried i the wheat bin. Then the hired man came and took care of the team and I went to the house. “After supper I got thirsty and my wife gave me that eve-lasting last drink from the bottle on the shelf. But it wasn’t enough, and along about 9 o'clock I went out to the barn and probed around for my jug. But I couldn't find it. I kept digging my hands down here and there, but it wasn't there. I kept hunting till they got) to calling me from the house and then I gave up and went to bed thirsty? “And Lord! what a thirst I had in the morning! = my jug. I had looked in the wrong bin. So I went out before breakfast and looked in the others. But I couldn't find it. After breakfast I went out again, my tongue thick and my throat dry, and made another search. But it was too well hid. So I got a scoop, locked the granary door and, wr gol! I shifted 1,400 bushels of wheat, trying to find that jug of whisky. And I didn't find it. That was the hardest day's work ever I done.” “Where had it gone?” asked Betticord. “Why, my wife had it in the cellar. But she wouldn't give me a sup of it.” “How many bushels of wheat?” asked Wilson. “Fourteen hundred bushels,” said Mc- Dougal “Well, I move that's the hardest day's work,” said Jack Hammeriy.

He knew Jabson well. In fact, he understood him. Jabson looked injured. “If I knew shouldn't be telling you the story,” he said, “I don't know which girl it was.” (Puff) “You see, it was twins.” Perkins looked more than faintly interest- ed. He quite woke up. “Go on,” he or- dered. “She was mighty pretty,” Jabson said, reflectively. “When I say ‘she,’ you are to understand that I mean the twins.

Just by what process the custom of berat- ing and brow-beating witnesses came to be established among lawyers is not known. Presumably it comes from the hope that working upon the indignation ofthe ness he can be made to lose his head, con- tradict himself and so lose the value of his testimony. The lawyer who first conceived this plan of cross-examination was a great man and a grand originator. He doubtless won many cases by its use. He deserves much credit for his sharpness, thousands of cheap imitators he | up in our courts are enough to | memory forever. Every crack-volced | ling of the law school that has his | chance at cross-examination ably pattern from the “powerful lawyers” | has seen in the same brutish game squeaks his abuse at his betters in ness chair.

Dickens told of an old lawyer who never failed to disconcert his victim | by a much simpler and infinitely less of- fensive method. is old lawyer took snuff. Jast as he was about to ask a vital ques- tion he would take a pinch very slowly ceremoniously. Then he would draw out an immense red handkerchief and it upon his hand. He would then put - 3 | question, screw up his eyes as if the en’ | irritated him and deliberately wait in an | expectant attitude, before blowing his nose, until the witness would answer.
