2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1895. PLEADED FOR RELIEF, Delegates Asked for More Money for Methodist Ministers. REDUCTIONS WERE MADE Continuation of Appropriations by the Conference of the Mil- lion-Dollar Fund. WORKIN THENORTH AND SOUTH Mere Pittances Paid to Some of the Missionary Laborers in Sev- eral States. DENVER, Coro., Nov. 15.—The second day of the Methodist Missionary Confer- ence was devoted to a continuation of the appropriation of 45 per cent of the million- dollar fund among the conferences of the United States Representatives of the differ- ent sections of the country pleaded for re- lief, for exceptions from the 7 per cent re- duction of the sums set aside last year and for a lesser cut, but arguments and pleadings for the poor ministers working on mere pittances were met by the inexor- able condition that the reduction must be made. The delegates generally took the cut stoically and laughed at the pleadings of others, but occasionally the righteous in- dignation of some of the ministers, and even Bishops, could not be subdued, and some sharp talks were heard on the floor. Because of the drought of last year, Ne- braska fared better than any other section, getting an increase of allowance. Wyo- ming was made happy by getting no cut. The white-church movement of this church organization in the South ob- tained no comfort. Many members of this conference stated frankly that they had little sympathy with the movement, as the M. E. church South was covering that field well enough. The work among the colored people was more favorably con- sidered. In the afternoon the Bishops and dele- gates were lunched at University Park, where the Methodist Colleze has estab- lished itself amid beautiful surroundings, Bishop Warren and wife, who reside there, giving the luncheon. After refreshments the conference resumed work in the chapel on the college campus, and in the evening were shown through the observatory. Bishops Goodsell and Leonard addressed a public meeting at Trinity Church in the evening upon missionary subjects. §1Bishop Goodsell occupied the chair to- day. Dr. Wilding of the Columbia River Conference spoke forcibly in favor of a liberal appropriation for the Pacific North- west. He had been in the South in early day nd thought then that no section in the United States could ever need greater m nary work, but since going to the Northwest his mind has changed. He asked that the appropriations for Colum- bia, Oregon and Puget Sound be left as last year and that $500 special be given the Nez Perce Indian reservation. Dr. Hunt called attention to the fact that a few years ago this conference had been given an increase of 30 per cent. The Columbia River Conference was given an appropriation of $6045. Dr. Goucher by an effective plea secured a special additional snum of $500 for the ) Perce Indian reser- vation. Oregon got $2790 ana Puget Sound $5580. Dr. Huntington for Nebraska made a most eloquert plea, showing tbe terrible hardships there because of crop failures. His motion that the approvriation be in- creased from $2255 last year to $3000, with $850 available at once, was seconded by a dozen voices. Bishop Newman gave figures which showed that some of the preachers in Nebraska received as little as $201 for the year for the support of their families. Mr. French, for forty years a member of the board, wanted to know what other money besides missionary aid the preach- ers have received, and Bishop Fitzgerald showed that the salaries ranged from $228 to $404 per year. The appropriatiogp was placed at $3000, with $850 available at once. Northern Nebraska was given $6200, with §1200 available =at once. Northwest Nebraska got $4000, with $500 available at once. West Nebraska was increased from $7500 to $3000, with $1500 available at once. Wyoming escaped the cut. In spite of the pleadings of Dr. Scott, Texas stood the usual cut, Fort Worth being excepted. Bishop Mallalieu spoke for a liberal ap- propriation for the Blue Ridge conference, and told of a preacher who had converted 100 peovle in three weeks, and did not have clothes fit to be seen in pubiic. “But clothes or no clothes,” the Bishop con- tinued, *‘he will go on converting.” Up in that country, the Bishop contended, the people were not converted by card or bap- tized by telegraph. They are all Christians when they join the church. He gave figures showing the salaries, less mission money, to be from $18 to $263 per year. The wives and children of the preachers had to work to keep the family. Bishop Foster said that the country was poor, the people were poor, the preachers were poor and the salaries were poor, so everything seemed to be harmonious. He was supported in his pcsition by Bishop Foss, who thought Bishop Mallalien had overstated the necessities. The 7 per cent cut was made. It was during this discussion that the feeling against missionary work among the whites of the South by the Northern wing cf Methodism cropped out. When a delegate asserted that there were seven counties in Kentucky without a Methodist church, another delegate cried out, “There ought not to be anv.” Bishop Foster in response to a statement made on the floor that the Methodist Episcopal church South was establishing churches in Colorado and the far Northwest wherever Southern peonle had gone, said, “We have a sus- picion that we can furnish them with enough gospel to save them if they are worth saving,”’ and he opposed following the people of the North into the South with missionary aid. He thought the money could be better used in aiding the colored people there. “Some of the min- isters we send to those white churches,” said he, “‘go to improve their health, their wealth and some their morals, and I hope they will be successful.” Bishop Goodsell did not look with pleas- ure upon two Methodist churchesstarving in one community just to satisfy the preju- dices of certain people, but he was forced to admit the conditions, and until the Lord should bring about a change he wanted the work to go on. It was useless { of the church to join the other, There were too many bitter memories surround- ing them, which time alone could soothe and soften. The attack upon the white-church move- ment brought forth an impassioned speech from Bishop Joyce. He was a little severe on people, who, as he said, went through the South in palace cars and went back North and wrote about the failure of the work in the South. It was different to visit the cabins of the Christiansand partake of the frugal fare set before them and to see the destitution in the interior. *With- draw your men from the field or support them,” he demanded. But not a Bouth- ern conference was spared the cut except- ing'St. John’s. in Florida, which receives $3200, or: account of the killing frosts of last winter. — ADDRESSED BY HARRISON. Presided at a Meeting in Behalf of Pres- byterian Foreign Missions. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 15.—A grand central meeting in behalf of the Presby- terian foreign missions was held to-night in Carnegie Music Hall." The fact that ex- President Harrison was to preside at the meeting drew an immense crowd to the hall. Ex-President Harrison was introduced to the ‘audience by the Rev. John R. Davies, who concluded his remarks, “Per- mit me to introduce to you 8 great and good man—Benjamin Harrison, ex-Presi- dent of the United States, who will pre- side over your meeting.” The applause that greeted the ex-Presi- dent when he arose was deafening. After expressing his appreciation of the honor conferred upon him in asking him to pre- side over the meeting he said: “The Pres- byterian church hasbeen greatly, perhaps unduly, celebrated for its power of resist- ance. It has kept the command to ‘stand fast’ very well. It has stood fast for love and for liberty the world round. It has stood fast for education. It has been in the United States the pioneer of educa- tion. It has stood for the bighestscholar- ships, but it has equally stood against taat pseudo altitudinous philosophy that from study of God one finds that there is no God, and that from a study of his word one finds that he has given us no word. (Applause). And it still stands for the essential doctrine of the inspired word.” Ezx-President Harrison then introduced Rev. Dr. R. R. Booth, who offered the prayer. Rev. Dr. John Hall read a passage from the Scriptures, after which the chair- man introduced ex-Secretary of State John W. Foster, who delivered an ad- An address was also made by the A Clark, D.D., president of the United Societies of Christian Endeavor. MURDERED BYDETECTNES Members of a Chicago Agency to Be Prosecuted for Killing Frank White. The Police Say It Will Be Easy to Prove That the Shooting Was Not Accidental. CHICAGO, ILn., Nov. 15.—The killing of Frank White, brother of Clarence, & criminal well known to the local police, by operatives of a detective agency, is likely to result in a trial for murder. The Coro- ner to-day held Operative Edward J. Dix to answer before the Grand Jury without bail. Half an hour after the agtion of the Coroner the city police invaded the de- tective agency and arrested the other five operatives who took partinthe shooting of White. It is now settled beyond question that larence White, the man whom the oper- atives claimed they had killed while try- ing to serve a warrant, was in the buggy with his dead brother at the time of the killing. The police say it will be easy to prove the shooting was not accidental, be cause it is known that no shots were fired at any time by the brothers, and the dead man received two fatal wounds from differ- ent directions. With the exception of one man, every representative of the detective agency was arrested to-night, including Superinten- dent Charles McDonald. Late this even- ing city detectives succeeded in locatiug Clarence White, the man whom the Berry agency operatives supposed they were kill- ing when theéy fired four shots in the body of his brother. Clarence White says that neither he nor his brother was armed, and that no shots were fired from the buggy. S NATIONAL GRANGE. THE Additional Resolutions Indorsing David Zubin’s Proposition. WORCESTER, Mass., Nov. 15.—At to- day’s meeting of the National Grange ad- dresses were made by Hugh Craig of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce; A. R. Smith of Bates, Me.; E.P. Curtis of Worcester, and Captain Candage of Boston. This afternoon the National Grange col ferred the seventh degree in Mechanics Hall upon a class of nearly 2000 members. At a conference of representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, Boards of Trade, and delegates of the Farmers’ National Congress and other commercial organiza- tions from various sections of the Union, and delegates of the National Grange at Worcester, resolutions were adopted call- ing upon Congress to equalize the protec- tive system by extending to the agricul- tural staples and American shippfng in the foreign trade that just measure of pro- tection to which they are entitled so long as protection is the controlling and public policy of the nation, and recommending the “Lubin proposition for the protection of American agriculture and shipping in the foreign trade.” Lu ST BISHOP BONACUM SUSTAINED. How the Appeal of Suspended Priests Was Rejected. OMAHA, Nesr., Nov. 15.—Bishop Bonacum has issued a letter to correct alleged misrepresentations touching his relations with Fathers Murphy and Fitz- gerald. He says that on October 2 the priests were suspended, and themngon ap- pealed to Satolli. The appeal was decided as follows: Reverend and. Dear Sir: Although your letter does not_deserve an answer, couched as it is, in reprehensible and unbecomi: language, which shows that you are utterly devoid of all sense of reverence and respect for your lawful superior, nevertheless for your information I will say thate person who is adjudged con- tumacious cannot, according to ecclesiastical law, aveil himself of the remedy of an appeal. S g CRAZE FOR SPECULATION, Mining Stocks Will Be Listed Daily in Denver. DENVER, Covo., Nov. 15.—The Denver Real Estate and Stock Exchange to-day decided to list mining stocks and establish a daily call. On Monday the Denver Mining Exchange will hold two daily calls. These movements are made because of tne sudden rising of mining stock speculation. Colorado Springs hasthree such exchanges and Cripple Creek and Pueblo one each. A business man, not a broker, received by wire to-day from New York a request to buy 500 shares of every dividend-paying mining company in the State. The craze WHERE IS SCHLATTER Great Speculation Over the Disappearance of the Healer. RUSH FOR THE RELICS. Pieces of a,Fence Taken Away, to Be Preserved as Sou- venirs. THE ANTICS OF THE CREDULOUS. Friends Accept the Departure as An- other Manifestation in the Ex. Cobbler’s Career. DENVER, Coro., Nov. 15.—The retreat of Francis Schlatter, the healer, has been well covered. It would seem that where he is so well known he could not move far without being discovered, but this man is not like ordinary men. He has suffered privations in Arizona deserts so severe that a few days of fasting in the Colorado hills during comparatively mild weather is no bardship. Besides, he is so respected by the general public that were he to request seclusion and privacy he would be granted it without question. Hence be may be at Rooney’s ranch, near the Garden of the Angels at Morrison; or he may be quietly resting nearer the city. The railroad conductor running between Denver and Golden is the only individual to positively assert having seen Schlatter after he left the Fox residence. Schlatter’s warm friends have accepted his departure as only another manifesta- tion in his remarkable career, though they disagree as to the purport of his farewell message. Whether he meant to say that his earthly mission was ended or that his Denver mission only was closed they can- not decide. He may appear unexpectedly in Chicago or some remote hamlet, or he may never again be seen. If he has been conscious that he has been playing a part all these months he haschosen a happy way to end the farce. Few take this view; many think him crazy, but many more be- lieve he has left Denver to again begin his healing elsewhere. All day long the curious stood about the Fox house, talking of the man and relat- ing incidents and stories of cures. Many came to sound his praises, others to get a souvenir in the shape of a bit from the fence where he stood during the fifty-eight days of his missionary work. Mr. Fox was finally compelled to dig up the fence post for fear it would be stolen and cut into bits to be sold by fakirs. Some per- sons wanted to stand in the same place where Schlatter haa stood and many laid their handkerchiefs there, believing it would give them the healing power. The postmaster now holds the daily mail, numbering several thousand letters, awaiting Schlatter’s orders. The Federal officials will drop the case against the handkerchief fakirs. Of the remarkable cures performed by Schlatter stories continue to multiply. Scientific men may be able to account for these upon the evidence presented, but to the common people the apparent facts are enough to convince them, and they hail this man as genuine in all his claims. Detective Burlew started for Golden at 11 o’clock to-night in a team and Sheriff Kelly will join him to search Rooney’s ranch for Schlatter. They have no war- rants. Sheriff Kelly of Golden late to-night telegravhed the police here that Schlatter had been seen at noon to-day at Rooney’s ranch. That official has no proof of this, however, beyond the fact that a man told him so. FOR GREATER That Will Be the Most Important Matter Before the Legislature. NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov. 15.—“Greater New York” will be taken up by the Legis- lature at its first and most important busi- ness meeting in hand when the Legisla- ture meets after January 1 next. A com- mittee will be appointed representing both houses of the Legislature in the first days of the session and the committee will be instructed to co-operate with the “Greater New York” Commission to prepare a char- ter for the consolidation of New York, Brooklyn and other suburbs and report gack to the Legislature® within ninety ays. The legislative committee and the com- mission will be non-partisan in the sense that it will contain strong representatives from the commercial and tax-payin terests of both cities and_ leaders'of both parties. It is proposed to have the charter of the new metropolis of 4,000,000 people perfected by the legislative committee and the special commission already existing by April next, and to haye it passed by the Legislature. An enabling act will be all that is needed then to make consolida- tion a fact. The date of the birthday of “Greater New York” cannot be fixed untikthe char- ter is perfected, but it may be as early as January 1, 1897. A BRADLEX AT ATLANTA. YORK. Kentucky’s Governor - Elect Made a Happy Little Speech. ATLANTA, GA., Nov. 15.—Governor- elect Bradley of Kentucky is quite a lion in Atlanta. He came down with the Louisville Board' of Trade party to attend Blue Grass day exercises at the exposition to-morrow. Colonel Bradley was present at the Massachusetts exercises to-day and was called upon for a speech. He was taken by surprise. Responding he said: “Kentucky is a great liberty-loving com- monwealth. I love the South just as well as any Georfihn can, and we ‘will ride to our stirrups in blood before we will let the flag of the Union be torn ifrom its resting place. The old line of Mason and Dixon, if_such a line ever did exist, has been wiped away. Let us forever obliterate its every trace to-day. There is no North, no South. Itisa great liberty-loving people and we are the same and inseparable.’’ Colonel Bradley was loudly applauded. e CONDITION OF MEXICAN CATTLE. Commissioners Ready to Report That They Found No Disecase. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 15.--The Live- stock Sanitary Commission of Kansas has completed its investigation of Mexican cattle. J. W. Moore and J. I. Brown, two members of the board, arrived at the Kansas City stockyards yesterday after a ten days’ journey through old Mexico to the states. of Chihuahua and Sonora.

T A TO RESTORE THE RESERVE. The Treasury Department Communicates With the Bankers. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 15—It is rumored that the Treasury Department has communicated with the New York bankers with a view to making an arrange- ment for ihe restoration of the zold re- serve. The proposition is that when the reserve falls to $75,000,000 the banks shall furnish $25,000,000 in gold, for which they] will ‘receive 4 per cent bonds ona 3 per cent. basis. ’{he idea is regarded with favor by the banks, as they would rather supply gold than experience another tinan- cial disturbance. Thomas B. Reed, who is slated for Speaker of the House of Representatives, has spent some time 1n New York recently discussing currency questions with bank- ers. He, it is said, has intimated that he will oppose the proposed retirement of the greenbacks by an issue of bonds. He found that the bankers as a rule objected to the wiping out of the greenbacks if there is to be no other form ol money to take their place. While the treasury state- ment shows $346,000,000 of greenbacks out- standing, experts estimate that amount in actual circulation is less than $300,000,000. STl WIPED OUT BY FIRE. Ridmiig The Town of Lamora, Nebr., Has Been Very Unfortunate. SEWARD, Nepr., Nov. 15.—The little town of Lamora, seven miles west of Seward, was practically wiped out by fire, which started between 1 and 2 o’clock this morning. Among the better buildings burned were the State Bank, diy-goods store, meat market and billinrd-Lall and two vacant buildings, the only business buildings leit standing being the postofiice and hardware-store. No estimate of the losses is made and the insurance is light. A fire two years ago destroyed half the town and this fire nearly finishes the work of destruction. INSPIRED BY A SPIRIT Peculiar Defense of a Woman Who Mailed Threatening Letters. Charges That Dr. Poulson Was Poi- soned Caused the Arrest of Mrs. Lizzie Barton. COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iows, Nov. 15.— AMrs. Lizzie Barton is now in the County Jail awaiting action of the Federal Grand Jury on the charge of sending unmailable matter through the mails. Mrs. Lizzie Barton, alias Lizzie Carter, dawned upon the scene on the day of Dr. P. W. Poulson’s funeral at St. Paul’s Church. She at that time announced her belief that the doctor did not die from heart disease as the Coroner found, but that he was poisoned. Not a minute since that time has she been idle. She has run across the continent from Council Bluffs to Los Angeles, where Mrs. Poulson has been living since the death of her husband. Mrs. W. A. Mynster’s name is_signed to the information in the office of the clerk of the Pederal court upon which Mrs.Barton was arrested vesterday by Deputy United States Marshal Hillwig. "Mrs. Mynster is a sister of Mr. Poulson, having married her present husband after the doctor's deatn. Some little time ago Mrs. Barton addressed a letter to Mrs. Mynsterin which she made some wholesale denunciations of Mrs. Poulson.: Mrs. Mynster therenpon t0ok measures to silence her for a time by having her arrested. Mrs. Barton was un- able to give bonds and she was sent to the County Jail. While she was before the United States Commissioner she dis- claimed any responsibility for any of the letters she had !penned, claiming that Dr. Poulson’s spirit bad inspired her, and must therefore be amenable to the courtsif anything he said was wrong. She ad- mitted, however, that she had done the writing. e LIBERIA A GOOUD PLACE. Encouraging Reporis From Negro Col- . onists Sent There. PHILADELPHIA, Pai., Nov. 15.—The Pennsyivania Colonization Society held an adjourned annual meeting yester- day. It was a more than usually inter- esting meeting, for the reason that two letters of importance were read, one from United States Minister Heard, at Liberia, and the other from the secretary of tho International Mikration Society of Alabama. y Last March the society chartered the steamer Horsa and sent from Alabama a colony of 200 colored people to the repub- lic of Liberia. The letter from the secre- tary told of the safe arrival of the immi- rants and of their character. United tates Minister Heard.1n writing to the American Colonization Society, from whom his letter was received by the Pennsylva- nia society, referred to the arrival of the 200 colored people and to their happy con- dition. All but three remained in ]beeria. thoroughly contented with their new sur- roundings. Minister Heard states that all the peonle coming there have to do is to clear off the brush from the land allotted them, plant is soon gathered. Says Mr. Heard; *“The land allotted them' is more productive than any in the United States. A garden of cassaya, potatoes, cabbage and eddoes can be planted and will yield in four and six months. Palm oil can be had daily for a song.”” i CANNOT FIND THE THIEVES. Reward Offered for the Arrest of the Ex- preas Robbers. COLORADO SPRINGS, Coro., Nov. 15.— The Wells-Fargo Express Company has offered a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the two men who held up and robbed their night agent afew days ago of $20,000. Beyond a rather vague and indefinite description of the robbers the officers are as much mystified as ever. The express company have engaged some of the most expert thiel-takers in the coun- try on the -case, but their work thus iar has proven fruitless. s SRS Wedded at Savannah. SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 15.—Thomas Je_fiersou Randolph. of Norfolk, Va., aud Miss Laura Lester, daughter of Congress- man R. E. Lester of this city, were mar- ried last night at St. John's E iscopal Church. The wedding was a brilliant social event. The church was filled with friends of the two families. The church decorations were simple but elegant, consisting of palms and white cbrysantbemums. The groom belongs to the Randolph family of Albemarle County, Va., and is a descend- ant of Thomas Jefferson. hee Acquitted of Murder. WICHITA, Kans, Nov. 15.—M. M. Duncan, ex-Mayor of King Fisher, Okla- homa, who has been on trial at that place for fourteen days for the murder of M.sr Alice Glahan, was acquitted to-night. Mrs. Glahan's death resuited from a crim- inal ggemtion, in which it was charged that the ex-Mayor assisted. Duncan was said to have been the cause of the woman’s downfall. _The verdict of not guilty was received witn cheers. sl s SO0 “ General’? Dupree Hanged.

Y., Nov. 15.—The horse show drew the biggest crowd of the week to the Madison-square Garden to-night. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborotigh were again present. From 15,000 to 16,000 persons were estimated . to be present. - In the boxes and arena seats were the wealth and fashion of the metropolis and social swells from other cities. Gowning was not quite as gorgeous as on Wednesday night, but was safficiently gay to make the scene one long to be remembered. Nearly the same people sat in the front-row boxes as on former nights, and as big a crowd— indeed, larger than ever—surged past the boxes and gazed at their occupants. In the afternoon the best of the four-in- year. He will leave for San Antonio Sun- day to sien Fitzsimmons for a fight at Juarez with Maher or Corbett. SAN JOSE ROAD RACE.

C., Nov. 15.—In- dian education and the improvement of present facilities for the instruction of the Indians 1s the subject discussed by Wil- liam Harmon, Superintendent of Indian Schools, in his annual report, which is just made public. He states that he has received expressions of hearty co-opera- tion from the State Superintendents of California, Oregon, Washington and other States having a large Indian population, looking to improving the methods of edu- cating the Indian youth. He believes that the time is not far distant when it will be ?osaible to transfer’the edncation of the ndians to the State authorities. The dif- ficulties which children who have been at hand classes for road teams were judged, 'W. Seward Webb winning, and the junior championship for hackney stallions was awarded F. C. Stevens of Attica, N. Y., winning with Langdon Performer. Frank D. Beard fairly won the attention and admiration of the boxes and the ap- plause of the whole house for the masterly manner in which he handled his dashing team in class 74 for the special prize offered by certain members of the Coaching Club. R. F. Carman drove W. Seward Webb’s magnificent team. Mr. Miller handled the ribbons of J. Dickman Brown's Spuy- ten Duyvil, red and black coach. W. A. Elkins showed a well-matched team of bays to a handsome canary and black coach. But ihe honors for display of coaches and appointments did riot rest with any of the foregoing. Handsome as were their turnouts, they did not compare for showy magnificence with the equippage and ap- pointments of John A. Logan Jr. of Youngstown, Ohio, and the redoubtable “‘Fatty” Bates of the New York Coach and Cab Company. The honors were fairly easy betweén the two. Bates’ gorgeous canary and yellow coach “Defiance,” with:'the groom re- splendent in a red coaching coat of *‘Ye Olden Time,” and’ the:great man himself in the latest thing in the way of hats, was a sight to behold. But Donnelly and. Logan’s coach had a hat that took the shine out of “Fatty’s,” and the Oriole coach that plies between Youngstown and Bass Lake, Ohio, was just as handsome as the ‘‘Defiance,” al- though Logan’s groom was mnot quite as gorgeous as “‘Fatty’s” henchman, so things were ‘‘even up.”’ The judges took some time to decide be- tween Dr. Webb’s team and that of Frank D. Beard, but tinally awarded the prize 1o the former. Mr. Beard’s team outdrove school encounter on their return to the squalor of Indian life as seen on the reser- vations is discussed by him and the sug- gestion put forth that the agent should establish homes for them and exert every effort to prevent them from returning to their old mode of life. Mr. Harmon favors in some instances specitic Indian schools, particularly in communities where objec- tion is made to the mixing of Indian and white pupils. COLONTS A COMING Bound for California, the Land of Sunshine and Plenty. Happy Excursionists Who Settle in the Golden State and Raise Fruit. CHICAGO, ILL., Nov. 15.—A small army of colonists started for Southern California yesterday afternoon. More than - 1000 optimistic persons gathered . at the- sta- tion to say good-by. . Everybody waved his hat or bandkerchief and cheered as if he were at a football game. The train-con- sisted of eight sleeping-cars, two dining- | cars and a couple of bagguge-cars, One hundred and sixty-five persons were aboard. Kvery ear was bedecked like a triumphal car. The engine was gay with flags. Long banners were stretched on the sides of the train with sentences for the enlightenment of people along the line of the Alton road: “We are bound for Cal- fornia, the land of sunshine and plenty.” Others explained who the excursionists were and told where they went and why. the others and was the most dashing, but Mr. Carman drove the best-matched four and the more even goers. A parade of prize-winners opened up the show in the evening. All classes were represented, from the ponderous Percheron to the tiny Shetland. The handsome junior champion, Lander Performer, was the pride of the hackney stallions and held his head high with his well-won honors. ON THE E.ASTE"BN TRACKS.
