NANCY HANKS COULDN'T DO IT.

Terrc Halite's Pride Failed to Lower Her Trot tins: Record. 2:0G the Best Time She Could Make on the Chicago Track Free-for-All Pace Won by Flying Jib. Ipelal to the InrtUnapolla Journal. Chicago. Sept. 12. Nancy Hanks did not lower Ler record of 2:04 in her flight against time at Washington Park to-day. Twenty thousand persons encouraged her as best they could, but too watch stopped at 2:00. The great crowd was attracted by Kanoy and all the applause and enthusiasm of the spectators was divided between the mighty maro and her trainer and driver, Badd Doble. The track was in excellent condition, but not at its best. The rain benefited the going which, because of the long drought, had become too hard. Charles Doble warmed np the mare, but I3udd took her in hand for the trial "Abe" Lincoln, the famous running companion of Nancy Hanks, was at her sido to set the pace. At the eecond ottempt she started away at a perfect gait, Doble holding her hard. She reached the quarter in SlU seconds, the same time in which she trotted the first fourth of her 2:04 mllo at Terra Haute. Pown the back stretch she maintained exactly the same speed. She reached the. half in 1:02. thns troing the second quarter in 81-t seconds. There Doble loosened the mare a bit, and as she turned her speed wad more clearly shown. Hut she was not covering ground so fast, for the third quarter was finished in 1:3m. In the stretch Doble allowed Nancy to speed at her fastest pace to the stand. There sho weakened, however, and she slackened perceptibly. Doble applied the whip, but it was useless, fine finished the final quarter in 314 seconds, and the mile in 2:06, a new record for the track. Next to Naney Hanks Flying Jib was the hero of the day, for he won the 8.5,000 World's Fair pacing stake, free for all. in straight heats, the fastest time being 2:07. For the first lime in his career Hal Pointer was distanced. The latter pushed Salisbury's horse to the half in the first heat, and. breaking, "was brought to a walk. Ho could not make no tho lost ground. Hal Pointer was favorite at 8100 to 855 for Flying Jib, 8'25 for Manager, $25 for Prima Donna and $11 for the field. Splann was winner t-ith Peep o' Day in the 2:45 trotting class, and Kratz captured the 2:30 class in straight heats.

Attached to the iron horse was tho privateonrof E. F. iirooks, superintendent of the Maryland division, in which were seated thut gentleman and several supervisors ami truininaitters. The car was equipped with a. speed indicator which, between this city and Baltimore, recorded a speed of sixty miles an hour. Not until after Perryville was passed did tho big innchine give evidence of ittt possibilities. Between thai point and Wilmington she fairly ilew over the rails, and for a distance of twenty miles ran at a rate of muety miles an hour. Then Alio" closed the tbrottlo and put en tho airbrakes, but it was only after three miles had been gone over that she was brought to a standstill. No. 2-5 is one of three engines destined to revolutionize the passenger tratlio ot the Pennsylvania system. They were recently built at the company's shops at Juniata. Pu. They are known among railroad men as Class P. and are expected to develop a speed of one hundred mile an hour.

THE BRECKIfjRIDGE SCANDAL Miss Hoyt Talks About the Colonel

and Miss Pollard. Tho Couple Boarded at the Same JIou3e In Lexington The Breach of Promise Suit. Lexington. Ky., Sept, 12. It is now said by pereons iu a position to know some thing of tho intentions of Col. W. C. P. Breokinridge that in his cross petition iu tho famous Breckinridgo-Pollard ecduotion and breach of promise suit he will deny that Miss Pollard can lay her downfall nt his door; that be is in no way responsible for her undesirable career; that he had nothing to do with her until he knew her charaoter was not good. Some upon with weeks ago a reporter called Mrs. Kotchum. the lady whom Miss Pollard boarded most of her time while in Lexington, but that lady had gone to Chicago, and he could not see her. To-day, however, ho found her at home, and wiis aocorded an interview with Miss Hoyt. an elderly maiden lady, living with Mrs. Ketchnm, who bad charge of Mi as Pol lard during her stay at the Ketchnm house. Miss Pollard applied to Mrs. Ketchum for board, stating that she had come to Lex ington to attend Sayre Institute. She was given a room, aud always paid her board promptly, having the money on hand on each pay day. The girl was then about seventeen years old, and said that she bad been attending school in Cincinnati, bat that she had completed her stndios and bad now concluded to take a course at the Lexington institute. She had been at the house some months when Colonel Breckinridge applied for a room., He said be was tired staying at the hotel.' and that he had a very important case in court, aud that be would take his meals oat in town. The room was furnishsd. Colonel Breckinridgs had been at the bouse at regular intervals for nearly a week before he met, as far as Mrs. Hoyt knew, the ' young lady in question. However, it happened that the Colonel took dinner at the house one day and Mips Pollard was at the table. Colonel Brockinridge took his scat, speaking to all as he entered tho room, and hence the formality of an introduction to Miss Pollard was neglected. To all appearances they were strangers, except it a

peemed that they had possibly been introduced at some previous occasion, aud were :herefore aejuaintocl. They conversed as strangers, and neither showed signs that were noticed of having any acquaintance beyond this. After Miss Pollard had been at Mrs. Kotchum's six or eight months the report ciuiio from Cincinnati tbnt she had gone out driving with Colonel I5reckinride in a closed carriage behind two line horses, and remained atvay frm school all night. She was told of this and asked for an explanation. Miss 1'ollard made light of the report, nnd said thut heT uncle, a Mr. Oliver, whom shi said resembled Colonel Breckinridge very much, had called on her to uo with him to a certain institute in Cincinnati, whero he had a child whose parentage was not known to the public. So more wos thought abont the matter, and not until the publication of her petition was tho Ketchnm household reminded of what sho had told them concerning the escapade. James ltodes paid Miss Pollard's tuition at Sayre Institute, and called as frequently as he wns permitted to eeo her at Mrs. Ketchum's. IS ho would no; permit him to stay louger than 0 o'clock when he would call, and always entertained him in tha parlor with tho members of the fumilv present. She hated Podes and called him "an old fool." She got a position whilo at Mrs. Ketohum's at the Gazette oljice. ufter which she notified Korfes that sho would not receive his attentions any longer. About this time she had the oonfnlenco of her landlady and was charged no board. Colonel Preckinriilge occupied his room at Mrs. Ketchum's some three or four weeks, and during the time no one of the family suspected that any undue relations existed between tjo Colonel and the young woman. The mtnrmation comes from a close friend of Colonel Hreckinridge that he will return to Lexington within the next week and give each a statement to the Ashland Democracy as will clear him of the charges preferred against him by Miss Madelino PolUrd. Through tho same channel the reporter states that he learns that Colonel Breckinridge will propose to prove that Mi Pollard confessed to him that sho had been ruined by James L'odes, who, at that time, was defraying tho expenses of her schooling, and avowed her intentiou of leading the life which she has pursued. Friends of Colonel Urockinridge here are continent that ho oan clar himself ot the existing soandal, and signifv a willingness to allow him to do si before pledging their support to any other aspirant for Congress from this district.

THE CONFEDERATE VETERANS. What the Southern States Are Doing; for Them. 2ew Orlcsns Plcsrune. Some detail of the provision made by the Southern States for their poor and disabled veterans will be interesting. It is not generally known that all tho Confederate States either grant pensions to or have homes for confederate soldiers. The-total number of pensioners and inmates of homes iu all these StatesAlabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina. South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia is 27,055, and the amount paid annnally iu pensions and the maintenance of homes is about l,12t;,7.C There are also confederate homes in Maryland and Missouri with 270 inmates, which were maintained last year at a total cost for the two States ot S-1.000. This sum included improvements made duriug the year. The regulations and methods vary so materially in the different States that it has been found impossible, properly, to classify the payments. Georgia heads the list of single States, having paid last year 8 14"j,(C0 to 7.400 pensioners. Of this sum, J165.000 was paid to 3.2G0 veterans and S-V'O.OCO to 4,200 widows. The State has a soldiers' home, situated on a tract of 111) acres of laud, which was built by private subscription at a cost of $12,000; but it remains closed for lack of funds, Alabama comes next to Georgia, with 4,1)55 pensioners, who rcoeived Inst year $133,124.32. It has no soldiers' home. North Carolina has 4.747 pensioners, who received $103,000. It has a soldiers' ' home, with lifty inmates, and the cost of its maintenance this year has been so far $10,000. Virginia has ;t,450 pensioners and Days 205; and 181 inmates of soldiers' homes are supported at an expenditure of $15.20. South Carolina has 2,24'j pensioners, who reeeive $50,000, bnt has no soldiers' home. Mississippi has 2,000 pensioners, who receivo 502,400. and has no soldiers' home. Arkansas has 787 pensioners, receiving &31.S75, and maintains twenty inmates of a homo, costing $10.00 at a yearly expenditure of $2,500. Florida has 374 pensioners, who received $o7,?41. It has a home which cost $10,000, and on which $2,500 was expended last year, but it is now opened. Louisiana has no pensioners, but it has 50 inmates of a homo unon whioh last year $5,000 was expended. Tennessee has 570 pensioners, receiving til,b75, and 108 inmates of a home costing 832, COO, were main-

tamed last year at an expense of 7,500. Texas has no pensioners, but it maintains lob inmates of a home at a cost of $57,5. The Maryland Home has eighty-four inmates, and the Missouri Iionra seventy-two. Each home cost the State concerned S12.C00 lust year. The first cost of the Maryland Home is not given; that of tho Missouri Homo is $A'XK). Thus we have a total of 27,211 confederate pensioners and inmates of homes, including Maryland and Missouri, and a total payment to confederatopeusioners and for confederate homes last year, including Maryland and Missouri, of $1,150,V3'. GOVEUNOIt MATTHEWS'S EXT DUTY. Suggestion to Itld the State of the floral Dynamiters. Minneapolis Tribune. Goorgo Moss, of ProoKlyn. Ind., lost his saloon by dynamite placed where it would do the most harm by indignant citizens. Feeling th-t his hnsiness enterprise was not appreciated in Brooklyn he removed to V overly. Haviug settled his saloon nicely in ono end of a building adapted to the purposd and his family in the other end ot the same edifice, he retired to rest with visions of a lively trade on the ensuing day. Short ly after midnight there came a crash, the building split In twain along the line of tho ridge pole nnd Mr. Moss was burled violently through oue window, while his wife took au equally sudden and involuntary flight through another. Certain citizens of Waverly had deemed that they did not need a saloon and dynamito was tho medium through which they spoke to Mr. Moss. Now a saloon is not always an institution to be de-aired in a neighborhood, and Mr. Moss may have been an espocially undesirable neighbor, bnt the people who placed dynamite undr his place of business and the sleeping quarters of his family took a lawless and murderous course nevertheless, and were no better than assassins. Saloons are bad enough, but the lowest saloon nnd the most vicious saloon keeper are less harmful to a community than a spirit of bloodthirsty lawlessness in the guise ot reform. The people are responsible for the laws, and should abide by them until they can bettrr them. Mob law aud whitecaDpery never yet advanced ihe cause of reform a sinulo step. Governor Matthews has wiped out the disgrace at Poby: he should now tafco vigorous measures to stamu out that greater evil, tho riotous spirit of wbite-cappery that is abroad in Indiana to a more alarming extent than any whero else in the country.

OUR TEA AND COFFEE.

American Taste for These Temperance Beverages Calculated to a Nicety. New York Sun. It is doubtful whether there are a dozen persons in the United States who are aware of the actual quantity of tea and coifee that is consumed in the country during a twelve month, or what proportion is consumed on au average by each one of ns. As tea drinkers we are not a success, and, judcing by statistics, it is very evident that we have not arrived at the oge of "old women," whom fables and parables are regarded as the extremists among tea bibbers. But when it comes to cofieo we can hold our own, both collectively and individually. To ascertain the exact quantity of tea and coUee that passes into the cup that cheers it is necessary to delve into the statistics compiled by the Treasury Dspaitxuent, and tbehguresof rive years past will answer our purpose. These give the net quantity of tea and of cotl'ee imported here during each tiscal year and the average quantity per capita of our population, as follows: Tea in Pound.-f-Coffcc in lounds.s Set rr Imports. Capita. 408.5G2.775 &rl;13'J,l0 9.1G 41)0.101,00 7.S3 511,041.450 7.00 ti:3,7Cy,O50 0.54 Per Capita. 1.40 1.2 S 1.33 1.1I9 2.37 Imports. 18SS.8'U44,.,jt7 lSS0.7y.10-.VJ53 1800.83,404,1150' lS91.82t3(J5,'J.4 1692.8.010,741 These are big figures. Taking the averages of tbeao live years, we hnd that we have consumed each year a total of &.000,000 pounds of tea and of 518.00o.o0O pounds of coilee as a nation. Put. coming down to Our individual helves, we lind that each ono of ns consumes one and one-third pounds of tea and eight and one-quarter pounds of coilee annually, or a total of more than nine and one-half pounds of temperance beverages in its solid form. If we were to add the wicht of the water that transforms this nine and one-half pounds of solids into its liquid form, the aggregate would be appalling. Just think of the number of cups of tea that can be made from a few pinches of the leaves, increase this in your imagination to a pound of tea, and then try to apply it to S3.000.1O3 of poacdsoftea. Bnt psrhapsitis best not. Our asylums are already crowded. While it takes a long stretch of imagination to roslize our individual consumption of one andone-third pouudsof tea. we shall almost consider ourselves Mnnchaqseus if we begin to apply the same methods to a oousumption of eight and one-fourth pounds of colTeo eaoh during tho course of a year. This amounts to more than two and one-half ounces of coffee for every man, woman and child in the country dnrlug eaoh and every week, and if we omit the infants aud young children and those who do not drink much conee, either from choice or from Jack of means, then we must acknowledge that we aro doing our share toward supplying a market for the prodaots of our mors southern neighbors, as well as maintaining a good reputation for temperance. What does it all cost nsf Here again the statistics are useful. The aggregate value of our last year's imports of bo,tlO,74l pounds of tea was 814,1(37,411. an average import price of 10 cents per pound for tea. The aggregate value of last year's imports of 0,7C'J.05G pounds of coffee was Sl.SS7,720. an average import price of 0 cents per pound for coffee. We each spend nearly S2 a year for colice, but only 21 cents per annum for our tea. Evidently cotiee is the favorite American drink. It is statistically proven. There is another point that is of direct Interest to ub as individuals. This is the import price of tea and cotiee as compared with the retail price. The latter touches our pockett. hence its appeal. The price that we have to pay for a pound of ten averages very much higher than the retail cost of coUee, yet the value of tea laid down in ISew York averages only 1G cents, as compared with 20 cents for coilee. We know that there is very Iittlo tea for sale in any retail store for 85 cents por pound, aud that is cf very poor quality, composed mostly of stalka and being of a strong and bitter flavor. Good tea sells at 75cunts;a dollar, and more per pound, prices that the masses cannot afford, which leave a profit of several hundred percent, to bo divided between the importers and the wholesale aud retail trade. There is evidently good money to be made in tho tea business, and it is not so eurpnsiug that retail tea dealers can giveaway cheap oups uud saucers, bars of soap and chromos to teu bibbers. iii the cace of cotleo, however, there is a much smaller margin of profit to the tra-e. If we put the average retail price of cotleo at 0 cents per pound, then there is only a margin of 50 per cent, protit to he divided among those vho handle it. Perhaps there Is a monopoly in the tea trade which believes in large pro tits without much trouble rather thau big sales and smaller profits. Perhaps the inertia of the Eastern bungalow comes with the tea and permeates our local tea princes. But the colleo dealers make the most money in the end. because their angreaate ot sales is so very much larizer that the smaller-per-pound prolits gr6w beyond the fewer, princely profits of Oolong. This tea and coUee trade becomes the more interesting the deeper we delve into It. Eaoh sin gives increasing and better flavor. We have already shown that the value of our imported tea ana cotiee was large, &1 40,000.000-last year, bnt there is no duty oollecltfdxon either, unless, perhaps, on a little of the cotiee. This, however, will not be tho case for long. The national treasury is . confronted with increasing expenditures and decreasing revenues, arid something has to be done to make both ends meet. That is easily settled. The present Congress is iu Democratic control, and tho Democratic platform of lbi)z pit-dues its party to establish a tariff lor revenue only. Here is tho very opportunity to add to our depleted revenue. Tho committee on wars and means is already at work upon the subject. A tariff for revenue means an equalization of our customs duties, an average of 20 per cent., for instance," upon everything that we import from abroad. Let ns apply it to tea and oollee. Thus: Tariff at 30 1892. Import value. Tea $14.1C7.4ll Coffee 15,37,720 per cent 91.250,223 aGioJibTotal tariff for revenuo $41.SCt,63U licre id the very thing. Just what the country needs, an increase of 41,bCC,5o9 m its revenuo from two commodities in daily ne that now escape all tho imposts of tho custom bouse. Under the tanlt tor raveuuo to which the couutry is pledged both oiir tea and coilee must pay their quantum of revenue. 1 hey have been imported free of duty hitherto for the benelit of the few. They must now contribute to the revenue for the benelit of the many. Our 50 cent tea will in tho future cost CO cents, and our ft) cent coilee will cost 40ceuts, but the Democratic platform of a tarin for revenue only mast be car ried out in its entirety. It is what the peo ple voted for: what they demanded. Let thero be no backsliding iu the cause of;temperance. j hero is already an added est, a more piquant navor to our liohea una our Java. It is the flavor of the performance of the public duty, a tarih for revenue only llavor. , . Anna Miller's Slater. Last night, at S o'clock, a sister of Anna Miller, the young girl enticed away from her borne in New Albany, called at the po lice station and inquired for Anna, bhe' said she had come to take her away. Two young men accompanied her, one of whom gave bis name Kuhnrod. Anna was allowed to leave with her sister, who it was thought was com petent to take care of her. .Mrc Buchanan, the police matron, was not present at tho time, and when she returned she er preyed dissatisfaction that Anna was taken away. Mr. Buchanan believes that Anna ouunt not to be allowed to havo accompaniod her. The sister made snch a strong plea for tho eustodv of Anna that she could not very well be refused. It is now forcd that the young men aroompanvmg Miss Miller aro partners with tho young man who lirst enticed Anna away from home. Juice CUlin Insane.
