His owner was a plain Long Island farmer, who had probably never been inside a racetrack or ridden a. three- minute gait in his life. His sire and dam were both owned and worked on ‘the farm, where Burns was foaled. ' Neither of them had any pretension to 'specd in any way above an ordinary ' road horse—neither one of them ever produced anything of note excepting Rarus, although both of them were mated in after years with animals of superior trotting, breeding, and action; yet the produce of such mating was never above the ordinary. With this evidence before us, we can easily believe that Rarus owed his greatness to nothing but his creator. In formation he was not what was con- sidered in his day a typical American trotting horse. He was sixteen hands high with a very light body for a horse of his size—the best of legs, a beautiful tail and carried it well; his head was plain but denoted great character and will power. In disposition he was a horse of great courage and bravery-— a good deal of temper, but absolutely controllable at all times. He was a horse with a robust constitution, was a great feeder, and what the English J OKN SPLAN. horsemen call “a good doer;” that is, he could take a great deal of work in training—a very important matter in a racehorse. In July, 1876, his owner, Mr. R. B. Conklin, placed him in my hands to train and drive him in his races for our mutual benefit—a contract which turned out very satisfactory to us both, as I won with him in stakes and purses over $100,000 and sold him at the end of his turf career for $36,000—the high- est price ever paid for a trotting geld- mg. His turf career while in my hands might be called a succession of vic‘ tories. In the four years that 'I had him we trotted him all over the coun- try, over all kinds of tracks, and made two trips to California. He started against all the best horses, and in all those busy years was never beaten but by four different horses. Goldsmith Maid, who was champion and had been for some time, with a record of 2:14, was the only horse that'ever beat him more than one race. The first three races he trotted against her she beat him, but from that time on he was always able to beat her and her best record, In his ownership he was one of the most fortunate horses I ever saw. Al- though his breeder, Mr. R. B. Conklin, was not a sportingman in any..sense of the word and had no practical knowl— edge in regard to a trotter, he had what might be called a great deal of old-fashioned “horse sense.” He real- ized the fact that Rarus was a great horse and gave him what he consid- ered the best opportunity to develop and show his greatness. He treated his horse and trainer with the great- est consideration and had the satisfac- tion of bringing his plans to a success- ful issue financially and otherwise. Mr. Conklin sold him to Mr. Robert Bon- ner. who is probably the best-known man in the world in connection with the American trotter, and to him more than any other man is due the credit of having placed the trotter in the front rank of all the} horse families in the country—John Splan, in Chicago inter-Ocean. Ill- Humor and Peovislmess. There is hope in every man who can yet believe in purity; but he whbse vice is so confirmed that he does not credit the existence of virtue, is irre- claimable. ' N0 disease of the mind can more fa- tally disable it from benevolence, the chief duty of’social beings, than ill- humour and peevishness; for though it; breaks not. in paroxysms of outrage, nor bursts into clamour, turbulence and bloodshed, it wears out happiness by slow corrosion, and small injuries incessantly repeated. It may be con- sidered as the canker of life, that des- troys its vigour, and checks its im- provement, that creeps on With hourly depredations, and-taints and vitiates .what it cannot consume.

CURRENT COMMENT. An American who recently' visited Birmingham, the great English iron é centre, found that .in constructing the 3 street trolley railroads Or that city the rails were made in Pittsburg, the cars in Philadelphia, the boilers in Erie, the engines in Milwaukee, and the general electric fittings in Schenectady. Philadelphia shows good taste in many matters, but her water supply is still so. foul as to force people to choose between typhoid fever and the “jim—jams.” A reform will no doubt be accomplished there some day, but that happy event,does not appear to be close at hand. ' A new French police idea is to pro- vide each member of the force with a piece of chalk. He is expected to mark his assailants with this when he gets in a row, and, being thus identified, they can be arrested later. The chalk cannot be snatched from him as easily as his club, nor can it be turned against the original owner with such terrible elfect, while the bearer oi chalk marks is entirely precluded from setting up the favorite plea that he was merely “an innocent bystander.” 0n the whole, the piece of‘chalk de- vice, while it has its disadvantages, is not half a bad idea. ‘ Because Americans have not become .a nation of total~abstainers, there are many persons inclined to believe that the temperance work of the last thirty or forty years has not accomplished much. Nevertheless figures can be produced to show that there has been a great decrease in the amount of drinking. In 1860 the annual yearly production of whisky was 2.86 gallons per capita, while to-day it is but .97 gallons. The temperance people should find much reason for encouragement in those figures and good cause to re- double efforts that have been so suc- cessful. Florida is now beseeching the Uni- ted States Fish Commissioners “to re— stock her rivers with alligators.” There was a time when the Floridians de- lighted in stufl‘ing credulous Northern visitors with stories of the ferocity of the alligator, who counted that day lost that he did not have a nice plump boy or girl for breakfast. If there was any foundation of truth in those tailes the people of the State" ought to rejoice at being rid of the dangerous saurians, but Florida has discovered that the dead alligator is commercially valu‘ able, while the live alligator attracts, instead [of repelling, Winter visitors. Under such circumstances it is willing to risk its sons and daughters if it can only have the ’gators back again. Glasgow, it seems, 'is not the only British city with enterprise enough to build itself out of nothing. The city of Bristol has appropriated $7,500,000 to build a dock at the mouth of the Avon capable of accommodating the largest vessels, and is also taking steps to secure a steamship line. Glasgow, it is said, has spent more than $100,— 000,000 in the improvements which have made it, from a hamlet on a creek, a magnificent city with a har- b‘or that ranks among the finest in the world. The point is that these. cities do work themselves, instead of wast- ing years of time and losing millions (of dollars worth of trade while waiting for the Government to do something for them. The free seeds which are being made ready for distribution among the fav- ored constituents of Congressmen have been stored in committee rooms at the Capitol, and their presence there has had the effect of inviting in an army of mice, equal in number to the rats that once ovcrran Hamelin town. The Capitol employes tire at their wits’ end to devise means of getting rid of the posts. but no really practical sugges- tions have yet been offered. There is just one really effective cure, and that rests with the Congressmen them- selves. All they need do is to abolish the extravagant free seed oureau and the mice will no longer find’the Capitol attractive. The light in the Maryland Legisla- ture over the bequest of EnochPratl was an interesting one from several points of view. Fifty years ago Moses Sheppard founded an institution and endowed it with a large sum, on con- dition‘ that it should be called “the Sheppard Asylum for the Insané.” When Enoch Pratt died he left $1,500,— 000 to the same institution, with the proviso that his name should be in- serted in the title, making it “the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Asylum for the Insane.” It was contended that this was derogatory to the memory of the founder, that it would invalidate the original foundations, and that it established a precedent which might lead to an unwieldly aggregation of names in the titles of elemosynary in- stitutions. The House of Delegates, however, having in view the material bcnclits to be secured, ignored all moral, legal and aesthetic objections and decided to comply with Mr. Pratt’s \HSllES. "Unless the law interferes to "z z-llid it. this was the best course it '0.

The disaster to the Maine in the hazy bor of Havana resulted in as great a loss to the crew of that vessel as ever occurred in the most serious sea fights in which the navy of the United States has been engaged in the pa st. It may, lowcver, prove to be only a forerunner of what is to, be expected of naval en gagclnents in the future, for the mod- ern 'hull, constructed of steel plates, when they come in contact with mod- ern projectile capable of such terrific damage as that which can be hurled from a thirteen-inch gun, have nothing like the resisting qualities of the old wooden frigate and three-decker man- of—war. Still, officers of the navy take pride in talking of what was accom- plished by their predecessors in the old days, and do not hesitate to say that in a square fight, when they know what they have to meet, they can maintain the reputation of the navy it. the past. ' The greatest of all naval victories during the war of 1812 Were not won on the high seas but on the fresh water lakes of Erie and Champlain. In the former battle for the first time in English history a British naval squadron struck its flag and surren- dered to the enemy at discretion. The two fleets were as nearly equal as it was possible to get them. Both had been built on the lakes after great difficulty during the year 1813.‘ The American fleet, commandedby Com. modore Oliver Hazard Perry, then twenty-seven years old, was comprised of nine vessels of 1,671 tons, with fifty- four guns, capable of throwing a broadside of 938 pounds of metal, 01 which 288 pounds could be fired at long range. The Lawrence named after the unfortunate commander of the Chesa‘ peake, was the flagship. It and the Niaraga were of 500 tons burden. The other seven vessels were of slight con- struction, without bulwarks, but armed with heavy long guns. The British commander was Captain Barclay, one of Nelson’s veterans, and he was perfectly confident of victory Perry moved out'of Put-in Bay on the morning of September 15, 1813, with his entire squadron. The fleets ap- proached each other at about 11 o’clock. The bugle Sounded from the British flagship and the men of the British line gave three cheers. The long guns of the Detriot opened on the Lawrence at a distance of a mile and a half. By noon the battle was on in earnest. In the duel which ensued be- tween the Detriot and the Lawrence the latter was reduced to a hulk. Perry took his flag, which bore as a motto Captain Lawrence’s “Don’t give up the ship,” manned a boat and was rowed through the smoke and the volleys of the enemy to the Niagara, and, hoisting his flag on that ship,'renewed the combat. Fortune now favored the American commander. The Queen Charlotte damaged in her sail gear, fell foul ol the Detroit. The Niagara poured vol- ley after volley into the entagled vcs sels, which the Kentucky riflemen it the rigging picked off every Britishel visible in either vessel. At 3 o’clock the British fleet surrendered. Perry sent a short account of the victory to the Secretary of the Navy, and then sent to General W. H. H. Harrison. commanding the land forces, the fa- mous lines: “We have met the enemy and they are ours.” Commander McDonough’s victory or Lake Champlain, won the following year, was almost 'as complete as Per- ry's. A British army advanced along the shores of the lake, accompanied by a squadron of sixteen vessels carrying ninety-five guns and about 1,000 men It was commanded by Captain George Downie. Commodore McDonough was anchored in Plattsburgh Bay With a squadron consisting of fourteen ves sols, carrying eighty-four guns anc‘ about 850 men. At sunrise or September 11, 1814, the British fleet came in sight, and by 8 o’clock the bat tie was on. Firing was begun by the The two principal vessels. the Confi ancc. Captain Downie’s flagship, and the Saratoga, McDonough’s fought a duel. lying about 300 yards apart. The first fire of the Confiance killed 01 wounded about fortymen on the Sara toga, nearly a fifth of her entire force The engagement became general. If an hour the whole starboard battery of the Saratoga was silenced. But Mc Donough had taken" the precaution tc lay kedgcs from her bows so that she could be winded. This being effected she was able to fight her other bat tery. The Confiance had suffered se- l-zillcd. After an attempt to perform the volution successfully carried out by the Saratoga, the Confiance, at the end of two hours and a half of hurt. fighting. struck her‘ flag. The I'Olllfilli, der of the fleet was either taken a, put to flight. The British loss was 200 exclusive of prisoners. The Alllcl-icnl lost 112 in killed and wounded.

San Francisco, 031., March ILA—The great t'ght between Clloynski and‘Shar: Key ‘45—.s ended last night by Siam-key :hroving Choynski over the ropes into :he spectators. The police then rushed 'n and forced Sharkey from the ring. At 9.40 the men entered the ring. Sheers greeted them as they made their way to their corners. Before anything could be done a. referee had to be chos- en. This caused a. wrangle in Sharkey’s :orncr, which lasted for several min- utes. Finally, after several men had seen refused, Dan Leary was accepted by both sides. Leary was not present, so after another squabble George Green (“Young Corbett”) was selected. Choynski entered the ring at 9.56, fol- lowed by Sharkey five minutes later. They were instructed by Referee Green and agreed not to hit in the clinch or breakaways. Time was called at 10.45. Round 1-Both men sparred cautious- ly. Sharkey led his left and landed lightly on the body. Tom led again'with “eff and missed. He stopped Joe’s right swing in return. Joe landed light on the face and received a left hook on jaw and straight right on body. Joe feinted with left and swung right, catching Sharkcy on mouth. Choynski landed a left swing, but took a. right on the body. None of the blows were ef- fective and honors were easy. Round 2——Sharkey misself left and right. Joe landed right on ribs. Shar- key missed vicious left swing for body. Choynski’s foot work was very clever, and he had a. little the better of the round. Round 3.—Sharkey led for body and missed. Joe laid a. stiff left on Tom’s nose. Sharkey responded with a. right and left on ribs. Tom landed again on the stomach and got a stiff left on the cheek. Sharkey landed a hard left on Ioe’s stomach. Sharkey seems very clever. Choynski went up and led right and left, but Sharkey kept away. The sailor had the best of the round. Round 4—Sharkey landed light left and missed right swing. Joe landed good right on body. Sharkey mixed it up and seemed to have the best of it. Round 5—Both sparred cautiously. Joe landed stiff left and in rally that hard on ribs. Choynski‘s blows seemed to lack steam and he was evidently weakening. The sailor rushed like a. tiger and put Joe on the ropes and re- sisted efforts of referee to make him break away. ‘ ' Round 6.—J0e landed straight left. Sharkey misses left swing. Both weak. Sharkey rushes Joe to ropes. Sharkey [lands straight left. Both sparring for 'wind. Joe lands stiff. right on body. iSharkey lands left and right, and Joe ‘goes down. He gets up slowly. Joe llands straight left. Neither man has ‘much steam, but Sharkey is the .stronger.‘ Round 7—Sharkey lands left on stom- Each and received ’a. stiff left jab on the gmouth. Both missed left swings. The ’sailor rushed Joe to the ropes and had , to be pulled away by the referee. Joe I landed two straight left jabs on the jaw land on the stomach. Sharkey rushed 5his man and landed ashort-arm right that sentJoe to the floor. Choynski seemed weak and his leads lacked steam, though most of his blows landed as Sharkey made no attempt to guard his face. Sharkey had the best of the round and looked like a winner when the gong sounded. Round 8—-Sharkey lands left for face. Joe lands lightly on body. Joe lands left swing on jaw, but too far back. Sharkey rushes Joe to ropes and hurls him into the audience. Referee declares fight draw. Sharkey very angry and remonstrates, but police put him out of ring. DUN’S WEEKLY REVIEW. Business Remains Good, Notwithstand- ing Our Complications with Spain. _ New York, March 12.—-R. G. Dun & Co.’s review of trade says the vote in the House, 311 to 0, and in the Senate without a. word of debate, 76 to 0, giving the President discretionary power to apply any part of $50,000,000 as he may think fit before next January to nation- al defense, is the most impressive dis- play of hearty unity and unflinching patriotism that has been made by this or, any other country for many years. That it will prevent hostilities is not certain, but the course of the markets proves that it is clearly thought proba- ble in other countries as in this. The able to starve into peauerulne’ss almost any government may not be able to re- strain a. mob in Madrid or Havana, but will strain every nerve to keep the peace if they can. It is most gratify- ing that no industry or branch of busi- ness shows any restriction or hin- drance, but some have been rapidly gaining for the past week or month. The railways are gaining, even while speculators are selling their stocks, and the demand for products of all the great industries is increasing. More gold is coming from Europe than is needed, $10,868,000 having been ordered during the past week, and money markets are nowhere alarmed or stringent, though reasonably more cautious. The country rests assured that its industries, ‘al- most all its business, the foreign de- ‘mand for its products, and‘practically all its resources, are beyond the reach of any foreign power, and that its hon— or and foreign interests are'ln safe hands. The greatest of all industries is send- ing grain forward as if there Were no limit .to the supply. Wheat declined 2 1-4 cents, but corn did not change dur- ing the week. Cotton declined an eighth, sales of fertilizers indicating less re- duction of acreage this year than was expected. Exports of principal prod- ucts in February were $61,634,091 in value, with increase over last year about 50 per cent. in breadstuffs, 25 per cent. in cotton and 25 per cent. in the aggregate. » .
