fill CABLE TO THE PIsrATCH.l
London, June 1" Copv right. Vll Man
chester turned out to-elaj to see the Amcri
can athletes pertorm for the last time, and
the Bellev nc grounds w ere jammed to its ut
most capaurj The 20 000 spectators re iched
from the immense buck wall that mikes
the place look like a prison to the stout rail
ing which prevents people from crowding
onto the track. The m in igcment, profiting
by tho lc 'on that the lluddcrflield people
had got, elected two new stands, which
weie a counterpait of the bleachers
on the polo Grounds. These un
Mghtlv structures were ver. useful
hoeier, and served to give st inding room
to fullv 5,000 anxious spectators, at least a
fiff h of that number hanging on the sides
and backboards It was a stunning spec
trcle and the quaint dialect of the Lan
cashire people was amusing to all except
ing those to the manner born. The sports of
Cottonopolis were no niggards with their
applause Thev did not care whether it was
a Yankee or local talent that won the prizes
so long as the performances w ere good, and
when Mortimer Remington carried off tw o
first prizes and a second the people fairly
rose at him
A Wet Blanket Comes On.
Gary was somethiug of a disappointment.
Thousands hid traveled miles to see the
great American sprinter perform. Every
one had got into his head that the Xew Jer
p collegian would do bettci than even
time, md when the watch said that he had
done the slowest performance of the v isit,
murmurs of disappointment could be heard.
The crowd could not understand how it
was that Kemington could show even on
three dillerent occasions and vet be beaten
bv Carv bv two jards in the slow time of
10 2 -5 seconds
Vs a matter of fact the track was a poor
one, being lull of hills and ruts, while the
wind blew apaiiit the runner. Again Cary
was not at hi best audit is just possible
tint Kemington niieht hav e beaten his club
mate had he elected to run all the wav
through instead of easing up when he found
that he had second dace within his grap.
3Iethod in Ills Running.
There was method in this seeming foolish
ness, tor Kemington was entered in the first
Heat of the quarter mile handicap race,
which came innnediatelj after the special
sprint race Ilad Kemington run his best in
the 100 be nev er would hav e w on tho quar

been denriv ed of a splendid exhibition of
Tunning sitwas Gary got his first prize,
and Kemington added another to his long
list Like Cary, Kemmgtoi. passed when
asked tostart "in the eleventh heat ofthe
ISOvards handicap, for which he was set
on the one and one half jnrd mark. Cary
was scntch man m this event and was
Iilaced in the fourteenth heat, which was the
le'tone The enormous number of 101 en
tries w us in this event, and nearly all of
them toed their marks The first time that
Itcmmgton came out was m the scratch
quai ter mile run, w hlch he w on m a canter;
timeSi1. seionds Gary was entered in this
event, but did not start, but J . Roddv ran
and vas second to his clubniate.
Kemington Oat for Prizes
In the quarter mile handicap, Kemington
was scratch man to 51 athletes. These w ere
split up into four heats, Kemington winning
the lut in 52 3 5 seconds. It was in the final
heat of this race that the Manhattan cham
pion did such a grand performance. In the
Jirt furlong he appeared out of the race en
tirelj , but he picked his adv ersanes up very
rapidlj, and when he got among them they
liustled him badlv , one almost throw ing him
down w lule the others pocketed him. Two
yards from home it looked impossible for
lleiiilngton but he literallv jumped into
Miape and v on br three inches m 50 15 sec

THE PHILLIES' LUCK.
It Prevails in Boston as Well as in Tills

Bosto, July 18. To day's game was a hard
one to loe. "icho's pitched good ball, but
the home team piled up their errors in the
first three innings, while the Phillies made
flic runs. A great rally in the seventh by
the home team kept the result in doubt for
a time, but the lead of the visitors was too
large to be overcome. Attendance, 2,115.

Another Meeting to Be Held at Home
wood Next September.
FAST HORSES TO BE SECURED.
The
Management Certain This Can Be
Made a Racing City.
EAIXPDTSADAMTER ON OUTDOOR GAMES
Tho management of the Homewood track
are jubilant over the net results of the meet
ing last week. The weather w as propitious,
the track in good shape, one, lecord was
broken, and over and above all. the attend
ance was of such an encouraging character
that it w ould bo strange if the promoters did
not feci exceedingly joyful. Over 30,000 peo
ple to see four days' exhibition of racing is
something unprecedented In this vicinity,
and shows conclusively that square contests
will prove paying ventures.
That the promoters of the enterprise are
satisfied, is demonstrated by the fact they
are now arranging to havo a fall meeting at
which they expect to secnie the presence of
somo of the best horses on the American
turf. They are now in correspondence with
ow ners and drivers w itn that end in view.
The Grand Cirouit ends September. Im
mediately on its conclusion the Cleveland
meeting opens. They expect to have it prov e
a successful one, and Secretary McCracken
thinks he will havo no difficulty in getting
the horsemen to run ox er heio.
If his surmise is corect he wants to open
the fall meeting September 14, continuing
until tho 17th Inclusive This will give four
dajs' racing.
As the days by that time will be growing
shorter, it is his intention to havo three
races the first day, tw o the second, three the
thiid, and the remaining two on tho last
day. Among the interesting features which
he expects to offer will be a colt race for 3
j ear-olds. This, he anticipates, will bo a
pleasant div ersion for the patrons of the
tmf hereabouts, and he thinks it ought to
prove one of the most exciting events on tho
card.
In addition to this, special purses will be
hung up for records broken in the various
classes. These purses will bo of a sufllciont
ly large amount to induce the drivers to
make ov ery effort to push their animals. It
is also the intention to arrange, if possible,
for the presence of some of the crack fl ers,
w ho have not j et been seen in this city, but
whose lecoids and exploits are familiar to
lov ers of horseflesh.
Secretary McCracken says he sees no rea
son why a fall meeting should not provo
equally as suceessful as the summer one,
provided the w eather is as fovorable. "You
can 1 el v on it, the attractions to be offered
will all be first class," he said, "and we will
make every effort to merit the approval of
lov ers or the turf and its favorites. The
Pittsburg public hav e shown they appreciate
a good horse race by the manner in which
they turned out this week, and if wo can
secure the horses we evpect, I fail to seo why
they should not continue fovoring us with
their pationage."

JOE HA WORTH'S NEW PLAY,
And How He Happened to Get Just What
Ho Wanted.
Joseph Haworth came into town yester
day from Clev eland, looking as fresh and
xigorous as if he and work were strangers.
"Joe" Haworth, as his many friends delight
to call him, is not less popular here than
elsewhere, and the measure of the estima
tion in which he is held here is of greater
capacity than perhaps that very diffident
gentleman himself imagines. Speaking last
evening, of his new play for the coming
season, Mr. Haworth related how he came
by the "Leavenworth Case," by Anna
Katherine Green, a dramatization of the
novel of the name by that talented writer.
"I had run down from New York to New
.Brighton, ne saia, to spena a lew hours
with William Winter, and after a pleasant
chat returned home. The day but one fol
lowing I was called upon by Charles Rolf
Anna Katherine Green's husband whom I
had never before met.
"'I have a play to read to you,' he safd.
"I make it a point never to refuse to read
a play, for the reason that it may be some
thing that might suit me.
" 'What is it ?' I asked.
" ' "The Leavenworth Cae," ' he replied.
I had read the storv, and was instantly im
pressed with the idea of what a magnificent
play it would make.
" 'Bring it along, I said. He read it to
me, and I was delighted. I jumped at it,
and believ e I have one of the best plays of
the season."
BRAZIL AND MEXICO.
Both Kepublics Preparing for Exhibits In
the World's Fair.
Washington:, July 18 The latest ad
vices from Braiil received by the Latin
American Department, show that grcit in
terest is being taken in the Chicago Exposi
tion. Captain Alexander Ro'dgers, the
Special Commissioner, writes from the
State of Minasgcreas detailing his visits to
various pa-ts of the Republic, with uni
formly fav orable results Mr. La Page, a Bel
gian who took three medals at Pans in 1889
for woods and other natural products, Cap
tain Rodgers savs; is already collecting for
an exhibit at Chicago, and promises to do
better than he did at Pari. Carlos Marena
will send a fine collection of stones and
present them to some museum at the close
of the Exposition. The Government has
taken measures to have printed in all the
papers of Brazil not only the classification
of the Exposition, but also of the Latin
American department.
A dispatch from St. Louis savs: H. C.
Payne, 11 resident ofthe City of Mexico and
a Commercial Commissioner for the World's
Fair in the Republic of Mexico, is tempora
rily in this city. He says he has been
working up an interest in the Fair in
Mexico; 'that he has received cordial re
sponses from all sources, nnd that the Mexi
can exhibit will be a surprise to this coun
try in its magnitude and variety.
DENT IS IH THE COUNTY JAIL.
Similar Institutions in Two Other States
Are Waiting for Him.
"W. J. Dent, who got a 300 check on a
detunct Ohio bank cashed at one of the
Pittsburg banks on Friday, was given a
hearing x esterday before Squire Gripp and
held for court in 51,000 bail. Besides
this little anair he has been
leading a gay life elsewhere. In
the answers to Inspector McAleese's
telegrams it was learned that he is wanted
at Dayton, O., for forgery. At Parkers
burg he passed a bogus check on the pro
prietor of the Benncrhorset Hotel. He is
engaged to marry a society leader in
Steubenville. In West Virginia he is
wanted for assaulting two men who are still
in a critical condition, and he is also ac
cused of killing a negro in that btatc. He
was nnvillL' his attentions tn several iirnmi-
nent Pittsburg ladies, and was-going to Chi
cago for the purpose of meeting another.
Yesterday morning he asked to see Mrs.
Pride, of Penn avenue. That lady stated
that Dent is connected with all the prom
inent families with which he claims rela
tionship. He is a nephew of Judge John J.
Jackson, of the United States District
Court of West Virginia. He is also a
nephew of exGovernor Jackson, of West
Virginia, and Judge Monroe Jackson, of
the State Court, who was the Democratic
Congressman elected from the 1'ourth dis
trict in West Virginia, over whose election
there was such a contest in the last Con
gress. Sofar he has not secured hail.
To Cashier Stovey, of the Anchor Bank,
belongs the glory of Dent's capture in Pitts
burg. When he looked over the checks
Thursday ev ening he at once discovered that
this particular one was drawn on a defunct
bank and then notified the police.
PUN AT AN AUCTION.
A Lot of Unclaimed Packages Sold by the
Adams Express Company.
There were some 300 packages, the accu
mulation of the past year, auctioned off to
the highest bidder at the Allegheny office of
the Adams Express Company esterday.
The customary nondescript variety of arti
cles were brought to light by a large crowd
of persons whose judgment was only
surpassed by their avarice. Bundles
of all shapes and sizes vere
eagerly purchased for a fen dimes,
and hardly a bid ran more than a dollar.
The usual laughable incidents occurred,
such as the purchase by a young man of a
lady's garment made tempting by the sight
of an end of embroidery sticking out of the
package. He evidently thought a roll of
embroidery for 40 cents was a bargain, but
the apparel attached to' it was hardly to his
liking, for, as he opened the bun
dle, his face assumed a fiery hue.
Xothing loath, he bid on another
bundle, which was knocked down to him
for another 40 cents. He got ev en on this,
probably, for the package contained a
trimmed lot, valued by experts at 512.
A little boy inv ested 10 cents and got a
basket of eggs, some two dozen that had
long since become but hollow mockeries and
dried up. He seemed satisfied and took
consolation that the basket was worth the
money. Coal miners' picks, chisels and
hunks of iron and ore were in the lot sold,
the bulk ofthe articles being 'of no earthly
use to the purchasers.
THE ITATA AND THE CHARLESTON.

A FOOL'S FEAT AGAM.
Photographer Dixon Toys "With Death
Over the Gorge at Niagara.
HE CROSSES ON A SLENDER ROPE.
It Was Not Properly Guyed and. Sagged
Twenty Feet in the Middle.
HIS TRICKS BETWEEN SKY AND WATEE
Buitalo, July 18 The nervy Toronto
photographer, A. J. Dixon, gavejin unpar
alleled exhibition of gamencs at Suspen
sion Bridge at 4 o'clock yesterdav afternoon,
by w alking on a cable stretched across the
gorge, above the Whirlpool Rapids. The
cable, sev en-eighfhs of an inch thick, was
700 feet in length, and Dixon accomplished
the feat of walking its entire length from,
the Canadian to the American side in just
15) minutes, this time including four stops,
during which he performed a number of haz
ardous antics.
The cable used yesterday was the same
one used by Dixon last summer, when he
crossed the gorge at a point midway be
tween the cantilev er and suspension bridges,
but it was not nearly so well guyed yester
day, and sagged fully 20 feet in the middle.
The heat, too, was intense, and the terrific
roaring ofthe rapids also tended to increase
the peril of the daring man. He was pre
vented, first by trickery and then by en
treaty, from re-crossing the river.
The Whirlpool Rapids Park enjoyed a
great boom, for one end of the cable
terminated at this point. The admission
fee to this place was 25 cents, and fully
2,000 persons paid this price very willingly.
Less advantageous places along the river
were fenced in and the owners reaped a sil
ver harvest. The suspension bridge was
crowded, and proved to be a very good place
of observation. The Canadian side was
swarming with men, women and children,
and the crowd numbered fully 10,000 persons.
His Wife Was Hysterical.
Punctuality is one of Dixon's strong
points and shortly before 4 o'clock he ap
peared on the Canadian side. He was ac
companied by his daughter, Etta, 15 years
old, who had a large bundle of photog aphs
of her father and disposed of them like hot
cakes. On the American side Dixon's wifo
and second daughter, Miss Ella, aged 13
years, were acting very nervously in Whirl
pool Park. When Dixon appeared ready
to start on his trip, Mrs. Dixon became
semi-hysterical and was soothed by sympa
thetic women present. It was a very try
ing ordeal for her, but after it was all over
and her husband was the lion of the day
Mrs". Dixon was the proudest woman in the
great crowd.
Promptly at 4 o'clock Dixon took his bal
ancing pole three sections of two-inch gas
pipe, about 20 feet in length and waving
his cap to the people on the American side,
started out on the cable. He was gayly
costumed and looked quite attractive. Dixon
is a man of fine physique, swarthy in ap
pearance, with a dark mustache. His tights
were nesn-coiored, ornamented with heavy
garters of black and gold fringe. "His girdle
was gorgeous with a combination of red and
gold on a ground of black, and around his
neck was a similar "work of art." A jaunty
military cap set off his picturesque garb to
perfection.
Antics In the Jaws of Death.
When out from the palisade about 50
feet Dixon calmly reassured his almost
breathless friends and admirers that he was
"all right" by squatting on the wire. A
little farther out he sat down and put his
legs over the balance pole, and by pulling a
couple of strings long streamers of red,
w hite, and blue ribbons floated out from
either end of the pole. The crow d yelled its
approval and then the venturesome fellow
resumed his journey. When midway, over
he again rested and amused himself and the
crowd by a number of tricks.
At this point he tied his handkerchief to
the cable, intending to getyit on his way
back, but it floats in the same spot to-day.
The people on the American side, as the
hero of the occasion approached, were
warned" not to be demonstrative until he
reached terra firma, as aprilause might un
nerve him. The warning was heeded.
When Dixon lande'd on the flimsy platform
on this side of the great gorge he was most
enthusiastically received, and his balance
pole came near falling over the precipice
during the excitement. A tremendous
shout went up and w as re-echoed from across
the river, and a regular ' Chautauqua sa
lute" was given on the Canada side.
Tore His Hlbbons Up for lielics.
Dixon's friends made a mad dive for him,
lifting him bodily up in the air, and in this
manner he was borne on the shoulders of
several stalwart fellows to a refreshment
booth nearby. Another portion of the
crowd scrambled wildly for the ribbons at
tached to the balance pole, and the ribbons
were soon cut into a thousand pieces.
Dixon was roughly handled by the crowd,
everybody being anxious to shake .hands
with him. His little daughter Ella ran
thrsnigh the crowd crying "papa, papa,"
but came near being badly crushed, and was
led away to her mother.
To a reporter, who greeted Dixon just
after completing his risky walk, lie said:
"That was the hardest job ot my life. The
walk over the river last year was easy to
this one. The cable was not guyed prop
erly, and the river at this point is terrible.
I didn't dare to look down at the rapids.
I intend to walk over four or five times if I
can maKe suitaoie arrangements, nut
there is no money in this performance of
to-day."
Persuaded Xot to Cross Again.
During Dixon's sojourn with his friends
at the refreshment booth, an enterprising
museum man had seized the. balance-pole
carried bv Dixon and walked off with it.
The crowd yelled to Dixon not to re-cross
the river.
"Well, if you're satisfied, I am" answered
the wire-walker, "butl'm going to perform
a few tricks on both sides."
o "Xo, no," yelled Dixon's friends.
Dixon is a most impulsive man, and im
mediately jumped away from his friends
and ran in search of his pole. Of course he

A HEARTOESPONSE
Given to the Physicians of theEleotro
pathic Institute,
AT 507 PENN AVENUE.
Results Showing the Power of Elec
tricity, Scientifically Applied.
That the public appreciates the opportu
nity for scientific electrical treatment af
forded by the physicians of the Electro
path Ic Institute is shown by tho hearty and
immediate respouse to their printed state
ments, after they-adopted the method of ad
vertising in the newspapers, and. by the
throngs of patients w ho have called npon
them at 507 Penn avenue. Patients are cau
tioned against mistaking the namo or the
number. IT IS 507 PEKX ATENUK.
One lady who called and placed, herself
under treatment yesterday said:
"I have long known that the only chance
for recovery I had was in electrical treat
ment. Even my family doctor told me that,
bat I didn't know any one that I had confi
dence in togo to. Triends sent me here and
I am glad at last to find wheie scientific
electrical .treatment is siven by scientific
nhvslcians."
Enongh has been said regarding the stand
ing, qualifications, training, experience and
skill ofthe phvsicians.of the Electropathic
Institute at 507 Penn avenue. In future that
skill will be attested principally by there
suits described in these columns.
NO MORyIORPHINE.
Science Has Supplanted the Use of Chloral,
Bromides and Other Fatal Drugs.
In this anxious, hurrying age, to no class
of sufforers has ourmethod proved ofcreater
benefit than to those afflicted with sleepless
ness, hysteria and allied nervous affections.
While Chloral,Bromlde Morphine and other
drugs are carrying thousands of sufferers
from nervous troubles daily to tho mad
house or the grave, scientific electrical
treatment steps in to give all the relief and
rest that those drugs have ever given, leav
ing none of their baneful effects, ne cite the
following case:
I330MMA Patient a married lady 35 years
old. For two months no sleep visited her
w ithout the nightly administration of 100 to
120 grains of chloral. Lost in weight from
160 to 120 pounds. The night after the first
application patient had five hours of the
quietest and mosi. natural sleep. The gen
eral Improvement continued until patient
seomed in fairly good health and slept regu
larly and naturally.
RELIEVINGPAIN.
The Method in Severe Cases of Rheumatism
Where Some Muscles Are Powerless.
In its earliest application in medicine and
surgery electricity has been used more fre
quently for Rhoumatism and Paralj sis than
any other disease, for the reason, perhaps,
that these diseases are often obstinate to
ordinary methods. A good opportunity to
see Its effects exists in cases where the
disease Is so severe as to render some mus
cles of tho body almost if not quite power
less. Rheumatic Eabaivsis Patient boy 12
years old. Unable to bring Jaws closer to
gether than one half an inch. Impossible
tarn the head from one side to the other
without moving the entire body. Tho mus
cles rigid, frequently contracting, causing
great pain. On the first application of mild
current often minutes' duration, it Allowed
patient to turn his head with freedom with
out pain, and to cIoe His mouth. Continued
treatment resulted in retaining tho im
provement and eventual recov ery.
WHAT IT ACCOMPLISHES
In Eczema and Allied Diseases ofthe Skin
ltesnlrs TelL
In diseases of tho skin our treatment ob
t lips the most rapid and brilliant results.
In nearly all cases of chronic forms on dif
ferent paits of the bodythoro is immediate
reliefer distressing pain and ultimate euro
aftera course of treatment, yehave had
patients declare that the distress was so
great they would be glad to have tho suffer
ing parr amputated, and after an applica
tion of 5 to 15 minutes n'ould go away entire
Iv relieved. The relief lasts several hours,
sometimes (lavs, the pams becoming less
and less until a cure is accomplished.
Ecvuia Patient " cars ot age had ecze
ma ot the scalp. The eruptions extended
over the entire portion of the Iliad covered
by the hair, and it persisted, 111 spite of
many external npplications.for nearlv three
months. The diseased part was covered by
thick scabs, the sou h) quite irritable, and
at night especially patient w as iiuuov ed by
the desire to scratch. After twovvecks.of
elect 1 izat ion the scabs began to drj up and
reel on, and the general health very much
improv ed. The improvement went on until
in two months scalp was entirely froe from
disease.
RAPIDJESULTS
In Cases of Goitre and Abnormal Swelling
(. ancl Dlsfigurments.
Rapid recoveries following electric treat
ments cases of" Goitre or abnormal swell
ing in the neck ofthe Thyroid gland near
Adam's apple shoAld merit the attention of
all those who aredisligured -by the disease.
Attention is called to the following case:
Exofthalmic Goitre Patient, a pimter,
three years ago observed slight swelling of
tho thyroid soon after considerable palpi
tation and later protrusion of tho eve ball.
When plaoed under treatment the gland en
larged to about the size, of the list of a 10-year-old
child. A. decrease In the swelling
observed ten days aftef the first treatment
and in two months the swelling almost en
tirely disappeared and patient improved in
general health.
HORRORS OFEPILEPSY.
Keller and Kescue Comes in Many Cases to
the Sufferer.
After having tried every known remedy
and a great variety of doctors many sufferers
have found rclier lrom our.treatmcnt. IVe
never had a case of epilepsy in which the
intervals between attacks were not greatly
lengthened and in a large proportion of
cases tho lesults are permanent and com
plete euros.
EriLErsY op Five Yeahs' Stan-ditc Patient
30 j earn of age. Had her first attickintho
night while sleeping. Was always more or
less hysterical. At first tho attacks occurred
once 111 seven weeks later once a month.
Had tukon bromide and chloral .-tneral
j ears before coming nnder our ran. During
the month previous had three attack. Was
exceedingly nerv ous and despondent and it
was evident if electricity did nothing ele is
would be of service as :i sedilion and tonic.
After three months patient was completely
cured and has not bad an attack since.
IS CANCERCURABLE?
Scientific Evidence That In Many Cases It
Can lie Cared.
In many cases of cancer, pronounced In
curable, electrization makes a complete and
radical cure. Some cases of the worst form,
when a cure is probably impossible, intelli
gent! directed currents have relieved in
stantly the pain and re-tored the patient to
comfort and approximate health. We cite
the following instance.
KrmiELiAi. Caxcli: Patient wife of a phy
sician, CO j ears old. Growth increasing fast
and patient had difficulty in walking about
the house. Mectnctreatmentn-lieved pain.
Regular applications during three moths re

cure was the result.
