TALES OF THE TURF
Tbe Race Between Tenny and Lon S'-
erect i-ostponed.
Morris Park, N. Y., July 29.—This ws
tbe day originally sot for the match race
between Tenny and Longstreet and it was
fully expected tiiat one of the largest crowds
of the season would be v>reient to witness
the struggle. But the rain came down in
torrents tnis morning and someone spread
broadcast a report that tne races had been
postponed. The track olllcials rectified this
mistake at once, but the mischief bad al
ready been done and iustead of the surging
trowd that had been expected, a beggarly
teo or three thousand persons were present.
THE RACE POSTPONED.
In ore souse it was well that this was so,
for the track was heavy and holding, and
it was decided to postpone the match until
next Saturday. The Monmouth officials were
very much put cut and have offered a re
ward of 15-0 for any infor
mation leading to the detection of
the person who sent out the
report cf a postponement and J. A. Morris,
intimated that h 6 would sue the telegraph
ticker companies for giving it publicity.
Notwithstanding the bad condition of the
track some good racing was witnessed. The
events were as follows:

AT BRIGHTON BEACH.
Brighton Beach, N. Y., July 29.—The
track was in very bad condition to-day,
which necessitated a lot of scratching. Four
favorites and second choice got money and
the talent was nappy. On account of the
declaring off tho match between Kingston
and Tilda Blackburn the first race was
divided and run as the first and fifth races.
Owing to the wretched condition of the
track the match nun uneed between Kiug
sten and Tuily Blackburn was postponed
until Monday, Aug. 3, when, the weather
permitting, the race will be decided.

A search light for railway purposes was
tested recently oy the electrician of the Jer
sey Central railroad. Oua Huntington light
of o.JOO candle power was mounted on the
switch signal bridge, twenty feet above the
track. It is said that when turned on a
station building one-third of a mile away,
even the outline of the bricks could be dis
tinctly seen; when turned on tne track the
ties oould be seen in front of the same sta
tion. Colors were plainly distinguished at
a half mile distance. At 1.50 U feet it would
enable an engineer to tell the position of
switches. The reflector was parabolic like
tnose of locomotive headlights, aud was
silver-plate-1 aud highly burnished.
The Savannah, Florida aud Western

had been previously announced, but it has
been definitely decided to discontinue it. A
Sunday accommodation train will be run
between \\ ay cross aud Savannah here
after, leaving Waycross at 4 o’clock a. m.
and reaching Savannah at 10 o'clock a. in.,
and leaving Savannah at,6:7!0 o’clock u. m.,
reaching Waycross at 10:30 p. m. Tbe local
service will be done by the freight traius
during the week, and passenger cars will be
attached to two of the regular freight trains
between Waycross and Savannah.
Vermont claims the distinction of the in
vention of the first electric motor. A black
smith of Brandon, uamed Thomas Daven
port, had a model of an electric motor in
successful operation in 1835, by which he
ran a small engine on a oircular track. He
secured a patent on his invention and ex
hibited his model in several cities. lie suo
ceoded in forming a company, with head
quarters in New York, for the manufacture
of engines under his patents, and work was
actually begun, but tbe company became
emban a.sed through the dishonesty of an
agent. Davenport (lied before he could se
cure new capital t) carry out his idea. His
model was purchased by the Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute at Trov, N. Y., where
it was kept as a curiosity until the destruc
uon of the institute buildings by lire in 1862.
An interesting exhibition of a working
locomotive model, supplied with an in
vention owned by the Ries Electric Trac
tion and Brake Company, was given
recently in Philadelphia. The purpose of
the invention is to increase the adhesion be
tween the wheels of steam locomotives and
the rails. The invention consists of a small
dynamo and an auxiliary engine placed
upon the locomotive in such a
way as to be easily operated, fur
nishing a current of small foroe, but
large quantity, which is made to pass
from o-e pole of the dynamo to one pair of
driving wheels, tbenoe along the rails to the
other pair of driving wheels, thence to the
pole of the dynamo, thus forming a travel
ing circuit, moving at all times with the
looomotive. By means of this current an
luc.pient weld Is caused between the wheels
and rails at the point of contact, and the
company claims that the slipping of wheels
will beontirely avoided. The working model
of the device shows an increase of 400 per
cent, in tbe hauling power of the loco
motive.
Glanders in Worth County.
Sumner, Ga. , July '39.—The state veter
nary surgeon. Dr. Lyons, was called upon
yesterday to go to Sycamore and Sumner
to look after some horses, supposed to be af
flicted with glanders. The result of his
visit was tbe killing of a very
valuable horse at Sycamore, the property
of a hotel man. The visit to Sumner re
sulted in putting to death a fine mule, the
property of J. H. Pate, who lives at Mid
way, between Sumner and Ty-Ty. All but
one mule of Mr. Pate’s stock is thus
affected.
MIKACLES OF ST. ANNS.
A Great Gathering of the Holt and
Lame at Quebec.
From the Philadelphia Hecnrd.
Quebec. Juiy 26. —Thousands of pious
pilgrims from all parts of tbe continent
participated to-day in the celebration of the
festival of La Bonne St. Anne, mother of
the Virgin Mary, at the famed miracle
working shrine of St. Anne Beaupre,
twenty-two miles below Quebec, on the
north shore of the St. Lawrence river.
Cardinal Tascherlau was present with
the purple and scarlet-clad diguitarios of
his household. The rich statue of the saiut
holding the infant Virgin Mary in her arms,
which stands before the oliaucel, wore the
massive gold crown, set with precious
stones, and valued at $56,000, that Pope
Leo gent out for it some two years ago.
Six o'clock mass was celebrated by Cardi
dinal Tascherlau. At 7 o’clock there was
another mass, celebrated by Rev. Father
Hughes of Fall River, with Father Curran
of Soranton, as deacon, and Father Bren
nan of Philadelphia as sub deacon, the
Rev. Dr. Foley of Halifax acting as mas
ter of ceremonies. Later came tbe grand
mass.
Just prior to this there was a grand sol
emn translation of anew relio of the
saint, obtained from the shrine from Car
cassion, France, by Cardinal Tasohcreau.
It is the bune of a complete finger from the
hand of St. Anne. The former relic of St.
Anne in possession of the church Is only a
portion of a finger joint, aud much smaller
than the new one.
Immediately after the mass and sermon
came the veneration of the new relic, the
priest presenting the reliquary containing
it to tbe lips of each communicant kneeling
at the sanctuary. Two French Canadians,
after communion and venerating the relic,
left their crutches in the church and de
clared themselves cured of their lameness.
Rosalie La Carte of Au Sable, Mich., said
that she was cured of inflammatory rheu
matism of tbe feet. Father Flynn, to-ilay’s
preacher at the shrine, related a yet more
remarkable case this afternoon that oc
curred here during tbe past week, and of
which he was an eye-witness. Mary Doran
of Detroit suffered severely from disease of
the hip joint. She insisted that St. Anne
could and would cure her. and her parish
priest urged upon the father in charge that,
if possible, bis parishioner must be cured.
He read the gospel over her at Father
Flynn’s desire and tbe latter laid the relic
over the location of the disease, which she
declares at that moment instantly left her.
Other miraculous cures are reported of
those who have communicated at the shrine
within a day or two. Americans are
among the number, including scores of
priests. Among the latter are Valentine of
Charles Seminary, Over brook. Pa.,
Tooniey of Philadelphia aud Long of Buf
falo.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1891.
THE BLVCS RSPUBLI J.
Langston Found the People Enlight
ened Beyond Expectations.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Hayti becomes every day a more impor
tant country to tha United States, writes
ex-Minister John S. Langston in a recent
contributions to the press. It is the greatest
colored republic in existence, aud it in
creases in importance as the negro race
grows in numbers, education aud power.
Tbe late political troubles iu the island have
forced it to ttie front, and the Importance
which it sustains to this country as forming
the key to the Isthmus of Panama makes it
one of the most interesting spots on the
western hemisphere. Whet-ier we shall own
a coaling station on the Mole San Nicolas,
our title to the Island Navassa and a num
ber of other important diplomatic problems
are wrapped up In it.
I mu surprised every day to find how
little the people of the United States know
about this colored republic. Port au Prince
is not the tumbled-down village it has been
described. Even the poorer buildings are
picturesque. The prevailing oolor is whito
with green blinds. The climate will stand
brighter colors than ours, and the buildings
are sometimes painted in hues which would
be out of place in an American city, but
which, under an equatorial sun, are in per
fect harmony. Few of the houses have glass
in the windows, and shutters and lattice
work take tho place of glass. Tho climate
is so mild that tires are only needed for
cooking, and the atmosphere is pure and
clear.
A VERY CULTURED PEOPLE.
I find that our people are usually sur
prised at the culture aud education of the
elite of this colored lepublic. The hotter
classes of the people are well educated.
Many of the leaders speak several lan
guages, and tbe common language used
among the educated classes Is French. They
have French newspapers, and yon may hear
at one of those receptions as good French
ns you will hear in a Parisian drawing
room. The lower classes speak Creole.
The population of Hayti is estimated at
from 500,000 to 800,000, aud these people
may be divided into three classes—tbe mili
tary or the political class, the merchant
class and tho farmers, the military class
live eff the government, and tho tendency
in Hayti, where the government is demo
cratic, is to lead the young men to politics,
and every young Hayti in is educated like
every American boy with the idea that he
may some day bo president. Tho law is
their stepping-stone to politics, and there
are more young lawyers than there is busi
ness. The merchant class includes every
body who trades or dickers. The third
class embraces the farmers and the extreme
poor engaged in cultivating the soil and
growing fruits. A market scene at the
capital brings out this class in all its glory,
and tha markets of Port au Prince are
worthy of notice.
SCENES IN THE MARKETS.
1 have seen 20,000 people engaged in sell
ing in this market. You can buy all kinds
of meats, and large quantities of beef, mut
ton and fish are sold. Hayti is especially
famous for its coffee, and this market is
filled with coffee sellers. Hundreds of men
and women oome to market with all their
goods on a little donkey no bigger than a
Newfoundland dog. Nothing is too little
for them to sell. One may bring three or
four eggs ten miles 1 1 market, and if you
asked bis price be wifi tell you they are
worth o cents apiece. A woman will carry
four beads of cabbage a number of tniies to
sell them, and, besides these peddlers, you
may see men with four-ox w agons packed
with fruit and vegetables. Hayti has its
own coinage, its silver aud its paper money.
Both are at a discount, and American silver
brings a premium.
Hayti is capable of producing enough
tropical fruits to supply the United States.
It has the finest of oranges, bananas and
pineapples, and were it cultivated according
to the principles of modern agriculture tbe
yield of the land would be enormous. Even
as it is it produces more than 70,000,000
pounds of coffee a year, and this is of tho
finest flavor. The coffee industry of the
island is increasing. Most of the coffee goes
to England. Cotton is produced in consider
able quantities, aud the woods of Hayti are
among the finest in the world. You will
nowhere find any better mahogany, and
logwood is more or less exported.
THE POSSIBILITIES IN TRADE.
Wo might have a large trade with Hayti
if wo wished. We already furnish all the
flour used iu the island, and not a pound of
cured ham, cured meat or cured fish goes
there from any other country than ours.
We send them soap and hardware, drugs
and medicines, and we have been lately
shipping a large quantity of cheap cottons.
Many of the anna usod in the late revolu
tion were of American make, and they have
even purchased some of their war vessels in
this country.
Tbe government of the whole island shows
an extraordinary union of church and state.
Catholicism prevails throughout San Do
mingo as well, and on both sides of the
island the men and women are very devout
Catholics. The constitutions of both coun
tries are modeled on that of the United
States, but there is a concordat established
by the cnurch under which are the clergy
and teachers of the various parishes. The
government pays all the espouses connected
with this concordat, and the clergy are
white. Tho bishop and archbishop are ordi
narily invited to atteud tbe national assem
bly, and they aid in all the great gather
ings of state, but, they taka no part in the
administration of the affairs of the govern
ment.
POWER OF THE MASONIC ORDER.
In connection with this is the carious
strength of the Masonic order iu Hayti. The
men seem to bn all Masons. If a man of
distinction is buried, tbe Masonic order
rer.dors the last eulogies at the tomb, aud
Mas mry runs throughout every branch of
society.
The church has been so strong at times
that it has attempted to dictate to the gov
ernment, and this was the case when I first
went to Hayti. Bairond-Canal was presi
dent of the republic, and he had nearly
closed his term of four years, whan through
a revolutionary movement Salomon came
into power. In the past it lias been custom
ary when a mau was made president for the
Masonic order to wait upon him and to ad
vise him that the order would be glad to in
stall him as its protector general. It was
given out that President Salomon had been
waited oa by such a committee and the
churoh concordant, feeling that the Masons
were growing very strong with the govern
ment, seut the archbishop to se Salomon
and to protest against his acceptance. The
archbishop raid:
COULDN’T FRIGHTEN SALOMON.
‘‘Mr. President, it is reported that a com
mittee from tho Masonic order has waited
upon you anti offered to make you a pro
tector general of the order. I here deem it
my du.y to advise you that the churoh may
have to consider the matter in case you ac
cept, and your excommunication may be
the result.”
There was nothing cowardly about Salo
mon, and be replied in significant tones:
"Mr. Archbishop, what would you think if
the government should take up your case
and excommunicate you?”
No more was ever said about the matter.
Salomon was one of the ablest ineu that
ever presided over Hayti. Ha had remark
able exeoutivo ability, and he was a man of
great natural talents.

HI3 THRONE IS A 810 OX WAGON.
Peculiar Performances of the Blac’x
King of Matibela-Land.
From the Sew York Tribune.
King Lobengula is really a fine specimen
of barbarian royalty. Ho is about 57 years j
old. of superb physical proportions, ami of j
dignified and courtly bearing. He never is j
•eoa in a passion, as so many savage chief |
tains are, but when either administering'
justice or meeting foreign envoys always
preserves a dignified comp.sure aud
calm, cool demeanor. lie is ex
tremely temperate, and altogether ab
sta ns from spirits; beer he drinks, but
when, as is not uncommon, trailers make
him a present of champagne, he always
gives it to his wives. His abstinence, how
ever, does not save him from gout, from
which he suffers greatly. He is a mau of
liberal and advanced ideas, aud pos*e>#ea no
small degree of statesmanship. His subjects
comprise a number of tribes, whom he gov
erns with rare skill, doing wonders to make
them ail one in mterests, language, customs,
and laws. His administration of justice
would do credit to a much more civilized
commonwealth. The great court consists of
Lobengula himself and six of hts chief ludu
nas. Cases ere brought from all parts of
the country, and are impartially tried and
decided. The Ibdunas act as counsel for the
parties, and take technical points with an
ingenuity which would do credit to a British
queen’s counsel, and discuss and d-bate the
cases with great eagerness. Indeed, in
many ways tne Matabela litigation is similar
to that of England-, for alumugh the ln
dunas fiercely urge the claims of a clien t
while the case lasts, their differences disap
pear the moment the king's decision is
given. During the pendency of a care,
however, tho indnoas keep religiously away
fronv the parties concerned and their
friends, but as Sumi as the case is over they
approacli the saecjssfnl or defeated party
as if there had been no dispute. The king
very prudently dra.vs his assess vis in turn
from various parts of the country, and does
not allow any'set of men from long habits
to become his masters or too experienced
advisers.
The king lives mostly In a big ox wagon.
Before he succeeded to the thr me he wore
European clothes, nod spent much of his
time traveling about the oouutry with an
English teamster. But since bis accession
he has resumed his native costume, and
makes his people do likewise. Htill he sticks
to his ox-wagon, for which he has given up
all his other residences. Thi -is m some
respects a great convenience to him, for it
gives him a traveling court and capital.
From time to time be moves
his headquarters, "inspan ning’ his oxen
and going ofjb without any warning. If
asked where ha is g dug he replies, ‘'Follow
my wheel tracks anil see.” This is proba
bly partly policy to prevent combinations
against him and partly early habit of imi
tation of his father, who did the same be
fore him. He has seventy-eight queeug, of
whom ten are royal aud the rest concu
bines, but by none of his royal wives has
the king any son, and it is probable that
when he dies there will be fighting between
the various sons of the other wives,
each being supported by the district
from which his mother came.
The wives are soittered over the oouu
try lu various krtals, and when a royal
progress takes place the queens do not go
with their lord, but await hiru at the kraal
'to which he is going. Gubulawayo, the
capital, may be taken as a specimen of a
large kraal. In the center is the king’s
wagon, and round it his wives’ huts, all oir
cular, built of mud bricks and roofed with
r66ds. Round the central cluster of huts Is
au open space of grass 490 yards wide, and
round this space are the habitstions of the
warriors—said to number 4,ooo—and thoir
families; beyond these, again, is the stock
ade, which is several miles in length.
Not long ago Lobengula sent a couple of
his ablest ministers on an ein 1 assy to Eng
land. He wanted, mfist of All to find out the
power and general character of the nation
with which he clearly saw, he would soon
have important dealings. The men brought
back to him a striking account of the land
they had visited. They told him that Lon
don was like the ocean; a ti.au might walk
and walk, and walk, aud yet never get to
tho end of tho houses. If Englishmen were
killed, they reported, for every drop
of blood iu their bodies another
would spring up to take their places.
But what most astonished them
was the telephone. They were placed a mile
apart aud talked together. Afterward they
declared that they could imagine such a
machine might talk English, but how it
could be taught to speak Kaffir language
they oould not understand. Lobengula was
much interested in their stories, hut did not
at first quite believe them. In order to
muke sure that they were willing to tell the
truth, therefore, ho kept them apart, in
solitary confinement, for a week or two.

HINT A UPON ECONOMY I 4 PAIN.
Women and the W-orld’e Fa’s* Ideas
About, fßaif-sacrifioa. :> it
From Harper's Barar. * *’
Mr. Howells says "we are all blinded, we
are all weakened, by a falsa ideal of self
sacrifice.” Even a onrsory glance at our
selves and those about us confirms the truth
of this statement. In tome way we have so
misinterpreted the Bible as to believo that
pure religion and uudetiled consists in
ignoring common sense. IVe do not dnre
trust our own judgment in the crises of
sorrow and disaster, and image that the
most painful course, by reason of its very
pain, is the one we ought to follow. Many
of our funeral customs, through a false idea
of what is due the dead, become barbaious
inflictions upon tne living. We are want
ing in feeling for those whom God has
taken, we believe, if we do not torture onr -
selves by overy sight and sound calculated
to increase our suffering. It is a remnant,
perhaps, of tbe savage idea that a grave
must be heaped with sacrifices.
There is such a thing as a luxury of woe
amounting to dissipation. It is quite as
selfish as any avoidance of paiu aud more
injurious to others. Children are dressed in
mourning garments, the significance of
which they cannot understand, and de
pressed by darkened windows and hysterical
outbursts of grief. Sometimes they grow to
hate the very name of the dsad, whom in
their ignorance they hold accountable for
the dreariness of their Jives.
Often entire families have been sacrificed
through a mistaken conoention of the rights
of one member. Blood is thicker than
water, the adage runs, and hence to the
black sheep are offered up all the fatlings
of the flock. Sentiment says we have no
right to deny the shelter of the home to the
prodigal, no matter how vile and impeni
tent he may be. We forget to ask where
the gain lies in allowing the son who has
wasted his substance in riotous living to
squander the inheritance of his brother.
Tbe vouug girl insists upon giving up the
man she loves and who loves her in order
that ho may marry someone he does not
care for. Three lives are thus ruined in
stead of a possible o::o.
The altars of philanthropy are wet with
the blood of women who have both grati
fied and sacrificed themselves in excessive
zeal in behalf of orphanages and reforma
tories. Their own children are left mother
less just at the time when they neel careful
training most. *
In cases of Illness there appears to bo an
idea that it is quite praiseworthy for those
caring for the invalid to wantonly overtax
their strength, and so expose themselves
that the logical consequence is an increase
oi suffering all around.
The question where does o ir duty to our
selves end and that to others begin is so sub
tle that It divides the joint and marrow.
To quote Mr. Howells again: "It is the
economy of pain that naturally suggests
itself and which would Insist upon itself if
we were not all perverted by traditions
which are the figments of tbe shallowest
sentimentality.”

Simmons Liver Regulator and be spry.— Ad
L-et’s reason together.
Here’s a firm, one of the
largest the world over; it
has grown, step by step,
through the years to great
ness—and it sells patent
medicines !—ugh !
“ That’s enough ! ”
Wait a little—
-1 his firm pays the news
papers good money (expen
sive work, this advertising!)
to tell the people that they
have faith in what they sell,
so much faith that if they
can't benefit or cure they
don't want your money.
Their guarantee is not in
definite and relative, but
definite and absolute —if the
medicine doesn t help, your
money is “on call A
Suppose every sick man
and every feeble woman
tried these medicines and
found them worthless, who'd
be the loser, you or they ?
The medicines are Dr.
Pierce’s “ Golden Medical
Discovery,” for blood dis
eases, and his “Favorite
Prescription,” for woman’s
peculiar ills. If they help
toward health, they cost $i
a bottle each! If they
don’t, they cost nothin# f
