Last ymr the . “hisliington Park
Club of Chicago secured the four pac-
ing kings, Star Pointer, John It. Gen-
try, Joe Pate-hen and Robert J., and
gave a one day's meeting at Washing-
ton Park. Star I‘ointer and J 09 Patch-
en paced a great race, while Gentry
went to beat the high wheel sull-zy
record, and Rob-xrt J. tried to lower
his mark of 2.01 1-2. Nearly twenty
thousand persons paid admission to
the track, and they gave. the pacing
kings a royal welcome. But when
Marion Mills, a beautiful buy more.
came on the. truck without harness or
drimr and paced :1 mile alone, in about
2.10, she fairly set the big crowd wild.
Men shout-ed themselves hoarse and
women stood on chairs .in the excite-
ment of the moment to way.» their
handkerchies as the knowing animal,
after passing the wire, stopped, turn-
ed and jogged back to where her train-
er stood. She was clearly the popular
favorite that day. although the fast—
est four pacers in the world weres‘her
rivals. A few days before her appear-
ance at \Vashington Park Marion Mills
had paced a mile at Decatur in 2.04%.
which is the best time on record for
“gni'deless wonders.”
”Do you know how the ‘guideless
wonders" originated?” said a western
horseman to :1 reporter. "\Vell. I can
tell you. There was a man in a little
country town out in Iowa who owned
a rattle-headed pacer a few years ago.
This pacer was fast, but he could
never win a race on account of his
acting, so the owner gave. it up and
turned him out on the infield of his
half mile track. When the other
horses were being trained and driven
on the track the pacer on the infield
would sometimes square away on the.
path he had worn next the rail, and
would try to beat the horses .in bar-
ness dowu the straight side of the
course. One day it occurred to the
owner to take him out on the track
and see if he could do the trick therp.
So they rigged him out in hopples und
put an overdraw check on him and
tried the experiment. It Sll(chI.'d9£l

body in the village had heard about
the horse that would race without a
driver, and half the population turned
out‘vto see the second trial. Of course
they were scattered out around the
track more or less. and they helped
to make him go by shouting as he
passed them. Within a Wee.. that
pacer was the talk of the town and
the country for miles around. The
seer -t:1ry of the Lounty fair heard
about him and paid the owner $20 to
take his horse to the show and exhibit
him in the fall of that year. ' It got
into the papers and the man who own-
ed the. horse got sevnrnl thousand dol-
lars by exhibiting him the. next year."
Sheep without \Vool.
The principal kind of meat consum-
ed by the people of Arabia, both na—
tive and foreign. is the mutton of the
sonmli. or black-head sheep, and. no
matter by whom eaten. all pronounce
it the best mutton ever tasted. This
sheep, as its name indicates. is from
the Somali country. on the African
coast. These sheep have no wool. but
short, fine hair. similar to that of a
dog. The most jmculinr thing about
them is that. they have a large lump
of pure fut growing right at the root
of the tail. and this fat varies in size
and weight according to the condition
of the sheep. A medium sized lump of
this fat weghs about four pounds.
Such a sheep. which weighs from thir-
ty-five to forty pounds. is sold at from
four to five rupees (85 cents to $1.05).
The skins. when sun dried, are ex—
ported, and large quantities of them
go every year to the New York market,
where they are known as "mocha
skins,” but, like the “mocha coffee”
of commerce, this is merely a term
and nothing else. In 1897 these skins
were imported into New York to the
value. of $628,226.~‘New York Press.
Robin Boosts Discovered.
For many years naturalists like Au-
dubon and Wilson studied and wrote
of this bird before it was known that
there were “robin roosts” as well- as
pigeon roosts. Only within the last
few years was the fact brought out
that a bird more familiarly known
than the passenger pigeon followed
this mode of spending the night, al—
though it adopted Spring instead of fall
for massing by hundreds in :1. high,
sheltered wood for a night’s protection
from cold, or because it is the period
before pairing time. or for some other
reason at present beyond men’s ken.
With what stealth must this well
known and much observed bird have
found its way in such «numbers to the
same patch of timber night after night
in the early months of the year, ac-
cording to locality, coming from all di-
rections so swiftly that a secreted ob—
server could not count, keeping up a
chatter that could be heard for a
30.118 distance, 11%?“ the last bird,

NAVAL ACTIVITY AT NORFOLK.
1 Largo Shipment of Ammunitiom- to Dow-
. ey’s Fleet.
Norfolk, Va, Nov. 15.——The largest
shipment of ammunition made from
the government magazine since the
peace protocol was signed was made
yesterday, when a train of the South-
ern Railroad left with 25,000 shells of
the six—pound size for Mare Island
navy yard, San Francisco.
From an official source it is learned
that the shells are intended for Rear
Admiral Dewey’s fleet at Manila.
Night and day work is now going on
on the gunboat Princeton, in pursuance
of an order of the navy department to
have her ready for sea as quickly as
possible. .
The Princeton is to join Rear Admi—
ral Schley’s eastern squadron, now
forming in Hampton Roads.
Work is also being pushed on the
monitors Puritan and Terror so that
they may be-available for service at
short notice. .
The repairs to the San Francisco
may keep her here a year if no emer-
gency arises.
Dingley Says “No Revision."
Washington, Nov. 15.—The Washing-
ton Post says that the war tax will not.
be abolished ,at the coming short ses-
sion of Congress and that there will be
no revision of the tariff whatever. It
bases this announcement upon the pos-
ltive statement made by Chairman
Dingley of the ways and means com-
mittee, who, in an interview, said:
“The government-will need for some
time all the revenue produced by the
war taxes. During the month of Octo-
ber the war expenditures exceeded the
war revenue by‘5=-some $14,000,000, and
this month they will be $10,000,000 in
excess. This being the case, there will
be no change this fiscal year. The war
revenue act will continue in force and
unchanged ,except, perhaps, in a few
minor administrative features, for at
least a year longer.
“It is hardly necessary to add,” con-
tinued Mr. Dingley, “that there will be
no revision of the tariff, although I
have seen some statement to the effect
that such a revision is contemplated.”
(‘roker’s Western Visit.
Chicago. Nov. 15.—Richard Croker,
the great Tammany leader, is here. In
an interview last evening he said:
“My visit to Chicago has nothing to
do with politics. I am going to the
springs at West Baden, Indiana, for
rest and to try another cure for dys—
pepsia. While I am in Chicago I shall
call on some of the boys who came to
New York to help elect Van Wyek
mayor. There is a friendly feeling be-
tween Mayor Harrison and myself, yOu
know, and I shall see him to—morrow.
But there will be no politics in it. I
want to say that any stories about my
coming out here to form a political deal
with yOUr mayor are wrong, all wrong.
I am seeking rest and health, nothing
more.” ’
Glass Factories Start Up.
