warm, and the track was as smooth as

The great stallion was accompanied
by a runner, but as there was no ap-
prehens10n that he would show such
.form the quarters were not timed.
;- Ne son will start against his, present
record Aug. 26, if the weather is good.
The track at Independence is kite-
shafied and is the fastesttrotting course
1n 6 world. ' Horsemen expect that
Nelson ~will trot over it in 2.09 or bet-
,ter before the end of September. His
owner, H. C. Nelson, drives the horse,
and as he weighs .180 pounds, or-thirty
pounds overweight, the stallion is great-
ly handicapped, and with Dobb, Gold-

champion, Nelson should show a sensa-
tlonal mile on the new-tangled track.

unnecessary and puts the household to
great Inconvemence. A thirty gallon
b011er, full of water, ”when the outside
water 13 shut ofi‘, will last an indefinite
length of tlme in the boiler, if- not
drawn out, as it will take a ver long
time for It tovboil awa . I have nown
.of one to be connecte with a range for
two months and with a hot fire in it
every day, and only a very small quan-
t1ty of water was consumed by evapora-
ration and steaming, and as there was
no pressure of water into the boiler,
the water d1d not run out of ’the open
faucet,_ as pressure was necessary to
force 1t through the pipe, up over the
top of the b011er, and thence dropping
down to the sink faucet. Anyone who
w111' follow this plan need have no
anxiety or trouble with their hot water
boflers when the water is shut off.”

“SHOEBOX” MILLER. i'
‘The Lover of General Mosby’s Daughter-3'2
. Is NotaBadMan.“ ' .. ~‘
PITTSBURG, Aug. "It—The,- history‘ Ot.‘
James M. Miller, the hero of the “shoebox”
scapade during his confinement , in the”
estern penitentiary, and his escape, and'
,return to that institution, where he served
out his time, and the Washington city love-
romance are well known. The unwritten
.history of the young man‘ is even more 're-‘
arkable than that. published; Colonel
core, his attorney, said: “Miller is not
: the name of the man who committedthe
Connor robbery; neither-is it the name of-
the man who served seven years in 'the
Twestern penitentiary for . the crime, and is
now a suitor for the hand of , General ng.
~by's daughter. The man known“ as ‘Shoe-
box’ Miller is the son Of enact the wealth-
iestbusiness men and financiers in New
York city. Miller is the namehe adopted
after his separation from his . wealthy
parents. The Story comes to me from his
$1? lips, and I have no doubt, it is true.
,en James M‘. Miller was yet a child his
father and mother separated. The child
was deserted by the father. His mother
(ged and he was thrown on the mercies of
t e'world. Since that time he‘has bornea.
bitter hatred for his father. That these
circumstances are true and that Miller's
father is yet a very prominent and'wealthy
New Yorker is all that I-know of the man’s
early history. ' ' .
“I have positive proof that Miller was in
Cleveland, 0., the night of the Connor
robbery, and he never' held one of the
stolen bonds. At Miller’s request I have
written a letter to Miss Mosby, his fiancee,
tellin her'the facts. The 'man who :com-
mitte the Connor crime confessed and
paid me the money to defend Miller. I
know he is an innocent man.” ~
Colonel Moore would not give‘the nam
of Miller’s parents. A cl'ew has:been.ob—.
tained, however, and will be investigated.
