TWO-MINUTE TROTTER

Lon Dillon Breaks the World’s Record at ReadviUe, Mass. This year is destined to remain memorable in the history of the horse. Not only has the running record been broken, bat the pacing record, thanks to the achievement of that nimble and 'willing animal Dan Patch, has been broken. Now comoß the news of a still more extraordinary performance in the announcement that at Readville, Mass., Lou Dillon trotted a mile in two minutes. Lou Dillon, owned by C. K. G. Billings of Chicago, is the new world’s trotting champion, having displaced the great Cresceus in her trial against time at Readville. So easily did the little mare perform her work that it is the universal opinion of harness-home men that Lou Dillon can beat the 2:00 mark and possibly she can come close to the harness record of 1:59 made by the pacer Dan Patch. No one who has paid even cursory attention to the development of the horse needs to be toid what this announcement means to the horse breeders of the world. For nearly a century the speed record for trotting horser. has been slowly lowered, each decade seeing a few seconds lopped off from the three-minute record, which was deemed fast at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Fifty years ago the fact that a speed of a mile in two and a half minutes was obtainable was accepted with surprise and elation. The extraordinary fame won by Maud E. in 1885 was due to the fact that she had reduced the trotting record below 2:10. For many years Maud S.’s record of-a mile in 2:08% represented the limit of speed obtainable by trotters, and from that time to this the possibility of evolving a horse which would cut the record to two minutes has been in the minds of horsemen throughout the world. While The Abbot and, later, Cresceus succeeded in cutting the record still further, it has remained for the fleet-footed Lou Dillon to take the honor of making the first two-minute record. The possibility of trotting a mile in two minutes is oo longer in divpnte. It is an accomplished fact. The only question now is whether some still speedier animal may not lop a few more seconds off the record an,d thus establish a new goal for the ambition of the horse fancier. The steady increase in the speed of trotters to be noted during the century in which the one-mile record was lowered by fiftynine seconds may not seem of much utilitarian importance at first glance, but the truth is that it has been accomplished by a general improvement in horses. The two-minute trotter stands as proof that stronger, sounder, swifter animals are harnessed to all manner of horse-drawn vehicles to-day than those that worked for man in pant generations.

WARM WEATHER HELPS CROPS.

Cor* Grow* Fast Everywhere, bat Rain la Now Needed In Places. The weather bureau’s weekly summary of crop conditions is as follows: While complaints f o!f cool nights during the early part of the week are reported from the States of the central Mississippi and Ohio valleys, temperature conditions throughout the country as a whole have been very favorable, the upper Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys, lake region and Rocky Mountain districts, the greater part of which has suffered from abnormally low temperature for several weeks, receiving morq than normal heat. Portions of the south Atlantic States experienced heavy rains, while the Ohio valley, the greater part of Texas and the Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast districts are suffering from drouth. On the whole the corn crop has' made favorable progress, especially over the central and westerrf portions of the com belt, the most decided advance being reported from Nebraska and Kansas. In the upper Ohio valley com is suffering seriously for rain, which is also ueedrtl in portions of Illinois and Missouri and much of the crop in lowa will suffer unless rain falls soon. The reports indicate that early com will be safe from froat by Sept. 15 to Oct. 1 and late com from Oct. 1 to 15. Considerable spring wheat remains to be cut in North Dakota, but harvesting is practically finished elsewhere in the spring wheat region, and thrashing is in progress. In southern Minnesota much grain in shock is damp. In South Dakota, Xebraeka and Kansas the weather has been highly favorable for stacking and thrashing. Harvesting is nearly finished in Oregon and advancing rapidly in Washington the grain being of superior quality. i Cotton has suffered materially from heavy rain* and lack of sunshine over a large part of the central and eastern districts of the cotton region. The plant, however, is generally well fruited throughout the belt. A little picking has been done throughout the southern portions of the belt, but this work is not yet general. The condition of tobacco in Tenuescee is exceptionally fayqrable and a fair crop is promised in Kentucky. A fair to good crop is being cut in Maryland and Virginia. Reports indicate a general decline in the condition of apples, except in the southern portion of middle Atlantic States, where the outlook continues favorable.

TAFT TO SUCCEED ROOT.

Present Governor of the Philippines Acccp s Portfolio of War. The resignation of Secretary of War Elihu Root will go into effect about Jan. 1, and Judge William H. Taft, the pres-

GEN. L. E. WRIGHT.

Wright of Memphis, President Roosevelt authorized the announcement that the post had been offered to Gen. Wright, and that he had accepted it. Gen. Wright is a lifelong Democrat. Both the President and Secretary Root regard Gen. Wright as a nvan of proved executive ability, his services as a member of the Philippine commission having been of a distinguished character. Gov. William Howard Taft, who will succeed Elihu Root as Secretary of War on Jan. 1 next, has already had a brilliant career, and though only 4G years of age has held the highest appointive offices. He was born in Cincinnati in 1857, was educated at Yale, studied law in his home city and held a number of minor legal appointments until 1890. when he was made Solicitor General of the United Stated by President Harrison. Two years later he was appointed United States circuit judge. In 1900 President McKinley appointed him a member of the Philippine commission, and n year later he was made civil governor, a position lie still holds. Secretary Root, uuder date of Aug. 19, presented iiis resignation formally to the President, and it was accepted by the President with the understanding that Mr. Root would continue ne Secretary of War at least uutiL Jnn. 1.

DOOM ALL BULGARIANS.

Turks Plan to Accomplish Their Total Extirpation. . According to n Sofia telegram the Turkish repressive measures in Macedonia have reached the utmost limits of barbarism and it is evident that it is the intention to accomplish by degrees the total extirpation of the Bulgarian population. Within the last few days, ways a correspondent, twelve more Christian villages have been handed over to fire and sword and the women, children and the aged have been massacred indiscriminately. Convoys of prisoners dispatched to Monastir have been murdered by their escorts on the way. A private letter from a foreign resideu{ in Monastir says even the local are disgusted and meditate assassinating the Qpnsute in order to awaken Europefip )nterv?i>tiofi. Tlfe insurgents af§ doubtless takizg a terrible Revenge and are executing the revolutionary program to the letter. The reported concentration of large Turkish forces in the Adrianopie district at Mus-tafa-Pasha, Klzylagneh and other points on the Bulgarian frontier is regarded with much apprehension in Sofiia, as it is well known that in case of war an invasion would occur from this direction. According to reports from Constantinople a rumor was current that war had already been declared against Bulgaria. It was proved to be unfounded, but the state of popular feeling is said to be such that no other fcdue is regarded as possible. It is further stated that although the Russian squadron was withdraws from Inada it continues to cruise near the Bosporus. The insurgents in the Debr district are said to be destroying the villages and murdering their inhabitants.

ent Governor of the Philippines will succeed him as Secretary of War. Gen. Luke E. Wright, the present vice-gov-ernor of the island, will be made governor. The statement that these changes will be made is officially authorized. Regarding the appointment of Gen.

EVER LOOKS FOR TROUBLE.

Mm with • Chip «■ Hl* IhsaUsr X* to Be Commiserated. The really unhappy man; .whose unhappiness Is his own fault, la the one who lg forever carrying “a chip upon his shoulder.” Perhaps his happiness is his unhappiness, for when he is not engaged In a personal altercation he is brooding over some fancied alight and awaiting a favorable opportunity to give vent to his wrath. The man with the chip on his shoulder Is easily recognized and bis nociety by wise people is carefully avoided. He can go nowhere without trouble following in bis wake. If he attends a theater he is either annoyed by the usher or some one In the audience or at the man In the box office for not having told him a aeat bought long before be appeared at the window. He la the bane of the car conductor, end on the railroad train he succeeds in embroiling himself In a row with tha brakeman, conductor, Pullman car porter and the passengers. Each flying cinder from the locomotive is aimed especially at-his eyes, and he succeeds in stirring up the spirit of mutiny in the hearts of the travelers. There are some women similarly constituted who manage to be in trouble from the moment their eyes open In the morning until they close them in sleep. These people are Indeed to be pitied. If, Indeed, they are not cordially hated. This quarrelsome habit of mind can be so fostered that, the petuleney grows to be a malignant disease and leads sometimes to the insane asylum. Parents who notice in their children this fretful, quarreling disposition can easily find, a remedy. They may not agree to the measure—simply a good, sound thrashing. Every one has heard of the story of the child who was continually whimpering and quarreling. In despair the mother cried: “Are you sick? What do you want?” Gravely the child answered: “l think, mamma, I want a whipping.” ' She received the whipping and there was a marked improvement in her temper.—San Frtindsco Post

The Question Answered.

Bstill Springs, Tenn., Aug. 24. Many questions are being asked of Mr. C. D. Holt of this place in regard to his wonderful recovery. For over*two years he has been down with his back. He was so very bad that he could not even lace his shoes, and from this condition he suddenly appeared well and strong as ever. It Is no wonder therefore that his friends ara asking him “How did you do It?” He tells them all: "Dodd’s Kidney Pills did it,” and adds: “This remedy Is a genuine good medicine and one that I can heartily recommend ta everybody. “Everyone around here knows how very bad I was. I was so weak In my back that I couldn’t do anything that needed stooping or bending over, and three boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills made me as yon see, as well as ever I was.” “They certainly had a wonderful effect on my case.”

How Plants Remain Upright.

If a flower pot is laid on its side the •talk of the plant growing in it ually curves upward until it resumes the vertical position. This is called geotropic curvature, and the question is by what means the plant is stimulated to change its direction of growth. One theory avers that movable starch grains in the plant cells fall to the lower side as the position is changed, and by their pressure influence the mechanism of growth. Recently Francis Darwin, in England, has succeeded in accelerating the tendency of a plant to curve upward when placed horizontally by subjecting it to the vibrations of a tuning fork. He thinks the shock of the vibrations affects the* movements of the starch grains. Chronic bachelors declare that a man won’t be roped in unless lie’s unstrung.

NERVES CURED ON THE SEA.

Work That Hal pa tha Sufferer on Board tha Basalt Craiaar. For nervous people or people who suffer from nervous dyspepsia or exhaustion there Is no other kind of life which compares with that aboard the •mall cruiser, where the sufferer must do some of the work about deck. But there must be real work, not just lending a hand on a line here and there. Many things are to be borne in mind by the amateur sailor when he decides to live for a time aboard a vessel as “owner and master.” First of all, he must be philosophical. He must uot take a birdlike life too seriously. Accidents and maritime dangers, such as storms and collisions, must be looked out for, but not made into a nightmare to worry him. He must c&rry away gear and perhaps a stick or two now and then without getting on his nerves. There is little danger In bad weather If he usee ordinary judgment in shortening sail and he must remember that only lunatics or worse carry much sail in heavy squalls. His craft, will be quite uucapslzable under the conditions She was designed to undergo. If he wishes to have a Graft that will carry all sail in a black squall or a topsail in a gala he should get ashore and join the rocking chair fleet There he may indulge In problems of metacenbrlc height to his heart’s content without danger to himself or companions. Neither shonld he be toe particular in regard to his personal habits. He should board tha craft with the spirit he had when he went on his first picnic and be ready to live in plain style. This warning will be appreciated after an expensive steward brings him in his first meal or two. Canned goods need not be served aboard yachts cruising In the waters along the coast. He Is a poor steward who cannot furnish fresh beef, chops and steaks, to say nothing of all kinds of fish, at a moderate expense. Then, wit£ rice, macaroni, hominy and some of the numerous prepared foods, he will have a necessary variety without opening his tins, they should be reserved for necessity when the market has failed. With proper stowing a vast amount of good food may, be taken aboard and kept out of sight, yet always easy of access.—Boston Jouranl.
