LIVELY SPORT AT MONMOUTH PARK Beveral Sensational Finishes and the Talent Badly Done Up—Some Good Driving at Town City—What Program omises £ This inclnerating dog-day weather has no torrors for the Gentlemau's Roadster cluo. Its semi-moathly matinee came off at the fair grounds course yesterday afternoon in the prosence of a fuir crowd of spectators, many of whom wore ladios, I'io grandstand was moderately well filled, but the quarter-stretch was conspicuous only for the absengo of tho customary assemblage of gay equipages that have horetofore graced its lovel sward. Quits @ rember of turnoats, howevor, did put inan apposrance befors the program reached an end. Those who lovo to witness the per- formances of man’s noblest friénd, the horse, would rather do so from under the umbra- geous shadows ofgerandstand or shade tree, and profer to tako no risks in a two hours broil under Old Sol's fierce rays. The mem- bers of the club, however, are made of tho hurdiest material, and raie or shino they aro always on hand. Tho hot days of midsum- mer have no effect on them, other than to seemingly increase their enthusiasm and spur them on to greater efforts than ever. The Seventh Ward band furnished the music. T'he first event on the afternoon’s curd was the 2:40 trot, with tbe following entries: Charlio 8., b, ., William Snyder; Folly M., b. m., C. E. Morrill; Kittie Bird, br. m., H.

Experfence of an Travelor Who Ventared Too Near 1t. I was commissioned by the Belgian government, writes k. Kilsworth Carey in the Honolula Advertiser, to find & cortain_rare wandering plant that was believed to grow on the higher slopes of Maunn Kea, a large extinet voleano situ- ated on the northern part of Hawail, I had a station built.on one of the wooded slopes of the mountain, far away from any other habitation. My only com panion was a native who had lived al his life on this part of the islund. About twice a month he would visit the sea- coast to obtain needful supplies for our comp. This native, who said that his ancestors were **big chiefs,”” whose bones lay secretly buried in caves on the mountain side, was vesy old, although he could climb canons and scale lava cliffs with wonderful azility. During one of my botanizing excurs sions I passed by the mouth of a_narrow canon or gorge, and I asked Pili, the ola native. if he had ever explored the same. Pili suddenly became interested in his pipe and didn’t know anything about the guich, and dia not understand what I said. This was rather strange in Pili, for natives generally know every ock and tree in the section where they live, and I knew Pili was lying when he saia he did not understand me. So, naturally, T determined to examin into the mysterious ravine, Some time after this | was walking with Pili down a gentle slope when I saw a number of bones. Pili stopped. He walked back afew rodsand sat down ona stump. Not a word would he say. I began ex- amining the bones and for two hours or more puzzled my brain over a problem as I had never done before. What I found was this: A circular area of about 100 yards in diametar, thickly cov- ered withthe bleached remains of birds, animals and human- beings. These ghastly relics were scattered among the shrubs and grass, the larger bones near the center;in fact, I found that the bones became g radually smaller as I approached the periphery of this ular boneyard. In the center of the circle was a wel! like opening in the ground, from which emanated a. siml-~= ing odor. No vegnts*i,u ygrew within fifty fest UTUnis cavity, How came this koie with its horrible stench? How came these bones here? How came they to ba arranged about the central open- ing? These questions continually pre- sonted themselves, but they remained unanswerable, A deep mystery seemed to hang over the spot. It was growing dark. I heard Pili calling and burried to him. He pointed in terrar, to thoe center of the bone-covered area. A shadow was thrown on_the scene by a rising bank of clouds. ButIdeclare that I suw rising from the pit a visible vapor, a column of visible fog or smoke or gas that was luminous. Spellbound, 1 gazed at_the spectral column. Near the ground it had the appearance of a phosphorescent flume and gradually be- came fainter as it ascended. Youg im- agination will have to picture the un- eurthly phenomenon. Pili pulled nt my arm, und in silence we left the spot, and we did not loiter by the wayside. As I was looking for a simple plant, and not blood-curdling manifesta- s, I was inclined to break camp and leave. But by morning my nerves were in better order, and I went back to the scene of my evening’s adventure. 1 could find no clew to the mystery, and the mutter gradually went out of my mind as I prosecuted my labors, But I had occasion after a time to visit u spot near where I had seen the canon about which Pili was so appar- ently ignorant. One evening I made known my intention to Pili to return to the place and to explore the gorge. “When?" said Pili. “In the morning,” 1 replied. Without a wora the old native arose from his mat on the floor and departed. Heo was gone all night. He returned by sunrise, bearing on his shoulders a bun- dle. When we reached the canon he stopped and un ed his load. Isawa stone idol. curious in_shape; he placed it on the ground, and then took a small pig from his bundle. Making a fire, he sprinkled something in the flames, mut- toved strange sounds and made symbols in the air with his fingers. The animal offering was placed before the idol, After he had completed his strange rites he said that [ mignt unever come back, but ho had done what he could to_preserve my life. He would wait until the goi down of the sun, and then, if I did not come back, he would wail for me as did his father, long, long ago, when a son fell in battle. Then he sut down, cov- ered up his head, and was silent. All this made me feel uncomfortable. The natives of the Hawaiian Islands are supposed to be Christianized, but in the time of danger or trouble many often turn to the discarded gods of their fathers, I knew Pili believed great dunger awaited anyone who ascended the ravine, But T went, I had gone about a mile when overthe tops of the tree ferns 1 saw a waving mass of sea grecu folinge undulating in the wind. The object looked like a huge bupch of thick leaved seaweed, and the peculiar motion of the same arrested my attention. I was over 800 feet away from the curious object, and hurried to obtain a closer vie wall of fern-covered lava ubout ten feet high stopped my course, Climbing up 80 that I could just see over the edwe, [ suw an ok ject such as the eye of civilized man never before beheld. Imagine a bunch of seaweed about twolve fee! high; the edge of ench piece lined with fiue streamers, which radiated in all directions and trembled like fine wire spirals; the whole objeet moving like the fringes of a sea unemono, I was wearing a heavy felt hat with a wide brim and I pushed 1t back from my forcbead to get a better view, As'[ moved my arm the strange object ceased quivering and every vibrating antenna or streasmer pointed directly at me. Just then wy foot slipped from n&'uu(nl rock on whicn I was’ standing and 1 fell, but not before somethiuy cleaved the air with a horrible hissing noise and struck on my hat ¢rown. 1 felt the force of the blow us I fell and knew no m for & time. I regained consciousnoss after & short time and lay In a partisl stupor. The wall above me was stripped. of its verdure, and [ saw a long, sinewy, suake-like object wnmxn‘k wbuug and curling on the rocks. It had missed its prey and a low, angry hum filled the alr, ANOTHER BABYERM SCANDAL o100 Iasd Rhockipg Disolosures M{A§ by the Select- men of Hartford, Conn.

Her Dostor Son Seem to Havk M¥en Making & Big Living Of} af the Iiles g0l Boske es: 0 Hartrorn, Conn.,, Aug. 6.—Disclosures that will create a sensation throughout New Eogland were brought forth when Select- man Fowler made a raport to the board of selectmen of this town of his 1nvestigation nto certain baby farms alleged to exist in Hartford and vicinity. He has found fivo baby farms in existence in Hartford, West Hartford and Bloomteld, which have chil- dren from othor towns and outside the state, placed there by Mrs. Virginia T. Smith, the missionary of the city mission, & charitable organization iu this city. + At one farm. in the city uwenty-thtee chil- dren have been sent by Mrs. Smith up to June. ANldavits were: presented by the women running the ‘‘farms,” claiming to be Ignorant of the law and throwing the re- sponsibility upon the city missionary for not reportingthe cases as required by law. No record > sases has been kept. They are mostly illegitimate childcen. Mrs. mith has &2 por week each child for their board, and her son, Dr. O. C. Smith, 8 city phys- cian, attended them whan {ll. Faots are wiven, showing that some of the children have hoon adopted by persons ng from $13 vo $40 each to Mrs, Smith. @ report goes to show that the ‘farms” have been run in the interest of Mra. Smith, who has received young girls from various parts of the state and ims_placed them there auring continement and has re- ceived pay from them or their betrayers and placed the babies all under the promise of the strictest secrecy. The practice has pre- vailed about eight years and probably 800 to 400 babies have been received at these farms by Mrs, Smith. Mr. owler’s reports, which are very spec- ific, cover nearly thirly typewritten pages and state among other things the attempts of members of Mrs. Smith’s family to induce a reporter of a city paper to suppress certain facts he had unearthea. The selectmen unanimously accepted the report and author- ized the publication of 500 copies, The affair croates a great sensation in Hartfoed. The entire business has been-conducted in violu- tion of the state laws, which requires the fullest publicity in cases where young chil- dren aro boarded out. — e PRIVATE I4MS' PUNISHMENT. Captaln Hunt has a Few Words to Say About That Affwir. Nasnua, N. H.,, Aug. 6.—The Evening Taiegraph prints a letter from Captain Al- fred E. Hunt, commanding Battery .E. at Homestead, in reply to a recent editorial in the paper charging thut the punishment of Private ITams was unjustitiedly bratal, etc. Captain Hunt says: | - *Private Iams was ot tqrtured by Colonel Streator, as the suspensiol by the thumbs did not throw the whole weight of his body on those members. After five minutes s pension, he asked for &, 1ha=swn gEEaoanY, was characteristic of/his @ntire conduct in camp, and, also, ali thyough his service in the guard. He purposely swallowed some of the tobacco to make himsell sick, according to his own self-confessed stdtement aftewards. He was lot down tront thé'ridge vole of the tent after twenty midates! suspension, suf- fering from nausea oouastmned by his having swallowed thz tohacoo. [Juring the entiro evening and night after;thys pusishment, the man treated tho mattgr jocosely, and made no complaints of having suffered. Tne follow- ing morning the onéhalf of 'bis head was shaved, tho only real€orporal punishment the man enaured, and of which he complaiued while in camp. By orglers of the general in commund of the divfon he‘was discharged from the guara for the Rood of the service. His uniform, belonging to the siate, was stripped off of him, and cheap, coarse, but clean new clothing placed on him. He was then drummed out of camp to the tune of the ‘Rogue’s March,” in the presence of the en- tire brigade drawn up in line.” Rioters Arrestod.

Deteative Will Smith received a shot fu the back and Deputy Sheriff Witty in the neck. In some manner the officers got a clew that Chris Evans and John Sontag were the robbers, and yesterday started after them. When thev reached Evans’ place a few miles out of town, Evans and Sontag opeued fire on them, wounding two. Tue desperadoes then fled. Witty was brought into town. ‘The news of the shooting caused great ex- citement here and immediately officers and citizens, armed with _riflos, started for the | scene. At 4 p.m. news reached hero that the robbers were seen northeast of Visalia, driv- ing rapidly, with the officers only half a mile bebind. : Georgo Sontag, brothor of John Sontag, was arrested here vesterday and 1s now in jail. Evans bas lived in this community a long time and 1s about 40 years old. Sontag, his_companion, came from. Minnesota, and has been here siuce 1857, Both men have i hitherto borne good reputations. Evans was in town last night and said he had just re- turned from the mountams, where he haa been mining.

Goiran presents in Har- per’s Magazine an instructive sketch of military service in Italy. The law of conscription makes every able-bodied Italian liable to military service from the ageof 20to3). There are, conse- quently, nineteen classes to foed the army. The men on the conscription iists found fit for service are enrolled, and divided by lotinto three distinct catego- ries, fivst, second, third. he first cate- gory contingent is determined annually by law. The men in excess of the first category contingent are assigned to the second category: those who find them- selves in such family circumstances as are stated by the luw of conscription are passed into the third. In determining these circumstances the legisiator has conciliated the needs of the military de- fenco of the state with the other inter- esis of civil society and the principles of humunity. In this respect, of the laws consgription of all the great states of Kurope, the [talian is the most lib~ eral. The former, in fact, extends the period of liability to military service to twenty-five years, and restrict the cases of exemption within the narrowost Limits. Another feature of the Italian law is this: It allows all conscripts wishing to finish their studies to postpone military service till the age of twenty-five, and grants clergymen the right to serve in the sanitary department. This period of active service in the army i8 of three years for the first cate- gory mon, if théy are in the infantry, Every and only subjected to some months’ mil- itary training, The furlough classes of the first cate- gory being sufficient to put the perma- nentarmy on a war footing, and the four classes of the active militin being sufficient to complete the cadres of the same militia, the second categories are really complementary troops serving to replace casualtios in‘the field army. Tho men of the third category are not in peace timo called to service, except for a fow weeks’ training. All the third category classes concur with the six older classes of the first and second cate- gories to form the local militin. ‘L'nis is very numerous, and although its mo- chavical worth is of very littlo im« portance, except in that portion of it which is formed of first eategory mon, it can, nevertheless, in cuse of pro- tracted war, be used for garrison ser- vice and the maintonance of publio peace, thereby affording means of res sistance to the last extremity, Attt VENUS IN PANTS. How the Owner of & fleautifal Statue Ap. pensed the “Unco Guld, " There is o statue nestling ina protty garden at-Bath Boach, Long Island, and surrounding it are flower beds, and over- head the branchesof several stately eims interlace to form a beautaful conopy for a great artistic production, The back. ground is superb. The pretty green of the landscape shows the rounded and beautiful lines of the fair Grecian god- dess, Aphrodite, she who was ‘‘born in the fosm of the sea,” and thousands have admired her as she stood mute and silent on a marble pedestal facing the main_drive of the town. Now the trouble is that Bath Beach folks did not know. that Aphodite 1is another name - for Venus, and two weeks ago when soveral of the ultra- fashionable residents found out, that it was Venus that was disporting her charms before the public, they de- nounced the deception snd said that not only was it Venus, but she was even un- adorned. The question soon became the leading topic of conversation. A prominent woman suffragist managed vhe campaign for the women with greate .-l](ill.um'urfl!ng to the New York Recorder, than Anthony Comstock ever used in his work. She earried the day and venus, who had been varading as Aphrodite, was threatened with expul- sion. Matters veacied a crisis on Mon- day evening. A stormy session occurred on the lawn of the Kathleen villa,owned by Mrs. Halloway, wheroe the statue is situated. The battle waged for and against, but the anti-Venuses carried the { day. artillery or engineer corps, and of foue if they ‘are in the cavalry. = Sublisuten- ants must serve five years. After three years spent with the col- ors, tho great mass of the first category are sent home on an unlimited furlough, remaining, however, liable to service for s1x years, at the expiration of which they pass for a term of four years to the active militia, and thén for six years to the local militia. The second category ave, in peace time, liable to service in one of tho sev- eral arms during a period of nine years in the permanent army, another of four years in the active militia, and a third one of six years in the local militia; but they are considered as on a furlough, The bright sun of Wednesday morn- ing scintillated over the roofs of the pretty cottages at Bath Beach,and grad- ually, us the shadows grew shorter and shorter, and the summer girl was ready to hie herself to the beach with her bathing costume tightly inclosed within the inside clasp of her pocketbook, the rays of light fell full on the goddess. Her eyes were drooping and her head hung as if she were lingering on the breast of either Paris, Pygmalion or Adonis. A loud ery from the summer girl attracted fifty persons to the spot, and lo! the dispute was settled. Venus was not unadorned. In fact, she was much adorned, tor, girdled about her hips, and extending down so as not to show even the daintiest bit of her ankle, was a pair of “pants’—a pair of man’s “*pants.” The residents of Bath Beach who were interviewed saia that at no time did Venus have on a pair of suspenders. LR T SHORT BUT GREAT. Big Brainy Men but Lacking in Inches. Gentleman’s Magazine: Confucius was a man of middle height. We should have vpreferred him short. But one must not rob a man of his inches to fit a theory. Socrates was stumpy, also St. Paul and Alexander the Grent, great only as a warrior. In stature both he and his far more intellectual father, Philip of Macedon,scarce reached middle hoight. In this regard we may rank them with the famous Spartan general, Agesilaus; with Atilla, the ‘‘scourge of God”’—broad-shouldered, thick set, sinewy, short; with Theodoric IL., king of the Goths, of whom Cassiodorus writes: ‘‘He is rather short than tall, somewhat stout; with shapely limbs alike lithe and strong.” Aetius, t00, commander— in-chief of the Roman troops, and prop of the tottering Roman empire in the days of Valentinian, was a man of low stature, therein resembling Timour the “Tartar, solf-described s & “*puny, lame, decrepit little wight, though lora of Asia and terror to the world;”’ also the great Conde and his pigmy contempor- avy, Marshal Luxembourg, nicknamed ““The Little” by those who admired him for making Louis XIV Louis the Great, whi, by the by. less his high heeled shoes and towering wig, dwindles to about five feet six. Auteven thus pared down tothe inches nature gave him he was a ginnt compared with Sir Francis, Drake and with Admiral Keppel—*Lits tle Keppel,” as every sailor in the floet fondly dubbed him from pure love and admiration. Whereby a tale, if but to breuk the jog trot of this catalogue. When, then, Keppel—a commodore at 24—was sent to demand an apology from the dey of Algiers for an insult to the British flag, he took so high a tone that the dey exclnimed agninst the Inso- lence of the British king for charging a “beardless boy” with such u message to him.
