Doubtless this broad assertion 'will ex. cite the envy of every loyal Ken. tnckian, -whose heart and toul instinctively- claim that there is only one Blua Grass region, and it is severely in the South. This spear-shaped product has made fa mous and will perpetuate the name of Ken- tucKy as a stock growing fatate, it being considered the world over unapproachable in that line.

Early to mature, early to decay covers the idea. Captain Sam Brown's River Farm. For some years Captain Sam Brown, the well-known millionaire coal magnate, has evidenced a strong love for highly bred horses, and in, satisfying his hobby a great cable of jumpers has been gathered to gether, headed by the noted equine trio, Richmond, Troubadour and Masterpiece. Cufitain Brown owns a number of farms in different parts of the country, and this one, wnich comprises over 500 acres, is known as "The Kiver Farm." It is situ sted on the Fayette county side of the wind ing Mononeah'ela, one mile and ahalf above ihe town of Brownsville, and a more pictur esque spot is not down on a map. The view from the summit of "Isaiah's Knob" can nrver be forgotten. The river can be seen in the distance, winding its course through a sandwich of hills, flowing on to its mother old ocean. Xestled down deep in the valley is the quiet old town of Brownsville, which - - View Loofong Toward the Uner. is found to exist for no other reason on earth than to be called the birthplace of Blaine. As the eye covers the landscape up the river, the edge of Captain Brown's farm is seen almost a mile away, and in every meadow grazing upon the succulent blue grass are horses, mares, colts and fillies, the progeny of eauine families, which, probably saw first light in Arabia. A Flctaresqnn Cascade of Crystal. Looking directly below yonr feet, a ma3, leaping cascade rushes over the moFs-stain-ed rocks. It is as clean as grandpa's Sun day spectacles, being led from a proliBc spring under two big locust trees near the house of the tarm overseer. The water flows through the fields to the river, and supplies all the stock. From the road above the big barns, the meadows rise and fall in grace ful undulations until the river is reached. Stables, sheds, paddocks, sprint: house, a steam feed mill where all the horse food is ground, boiled and prepared add to the Principal JSarn, S50 Feet Long. general aspect of the institution, all of which, represents an outlay of a small fostuie.. t Captain Brown happened up at his farm upon my arrival, and through his character istic hospitality and personal efforts the Pleasure of the visit was greatlv enhanced, t was a treat to walk by his side "and hear him talk about his stock to Isaiah "Williams, the trusted trainer and jockey of the breed ing farm. This interesting character wore the Ten Broeck colors and rode many a winning mount on the veteran "William Cot trell's svnlt ones away back in the '70's. He is a walking encyclopedia on the subject of thoroughbred horses and their pedigrees. It was most surprising to witness the sa gacity of the beautiful runners wfcen the Captain would approach them. They knew his voice and he also knew them, calling each by its respective name. The Steeds' Star Chambers. Bichmond, that beautiful eire of many s uccessfnl turf celebrities, occupies the star chamber in the elegantly equipped barn. These parlor stalls are models of comfort Each one is 18 by 20 feet, while the walls, floor and furniture are ot the best material money can purchase. Further on down the line, Troubadour, the swift son of Lisbon, poked his valuable head through the door in answer to a call from his owner. Every turfite remembers the great suburban of 1886 when the retT and blue colors of the Brown stable were carried to the front by Troubadour with Fitzpatrick up. Bine "Wing kept the Btable before the public by winning several big stakes. That was a memorable year for this insti tution. The horses started in 110 races, winning 34, and ran second in 21 of them. Away over in a roomy paddock the neigh of Masterpiece il heard upon the approach of the visitors. The sturdy son of Imported Blue Mantle had been rolling in the soft Richmond. soil, and Captain Brown facetiously re marked that he was a great mud horse. Masterpiece- is one of the few imported Blue Mantles and his general makeup moves me to use the sentiment by Barry Cornwall, which is quits apropos: Gamarra is a dainty steed. Strong, black, and of a noble breed. Full or Are and full of bone, "With all bis line or fathers known) Fine his nose, bis nostrils thin, But blown abroad by tbe pride within! Bis mane is like a river flowing And his oves like embers glowing In tbe darkness of tbe night. And bis pace as swift as light. Aside from these three, which are con sidered the leaders on the farm, Too Quick was considered a rood, trame horse, bnt as his name implies he used his heels with bad efiect, and he was relegated to Captain Brown's Southern farm. There are dozens and dozens of youngsters coming np, all of them being the get of one of the above named horses. Kicking; Colts Cutting Up Capers. About 50 brood mares are grazing quietly over the place, while their oolts or fillies are kicking up their heels at a passing steamboat within a safe distance ot their proud mothers. Among some of the well known mares which have attained notoriety on the stretches are Katie A, by Hyder Ali; Sunbeam, by Hindoo, a great racer) Sunlight, Not Much, Enkonia, Matinee, and other noted ones. A lot of high-strung 2-year-olds has recently been shipped to Memphis to take par) in some of the stake races there. Included in the bunch are Parapet, Bob Seed, Hesperia, Vida, Gala tea, Maggie Colden, Perhaps and After noon. Of the Kiver Farm as a breeding center Captain Brown said: "I think there is no better climate than right here. Of course the Kentucky farms cannot be excelled, but when you can get the same results at home, it is useless to go away, isn't it? I have long contended that the famous Blue Grass could be cultivated upon these river farms. My assertion has proved true, as there is not a blade of any other kind on the meadow lots. My colored man, who has full charge of the stables, is a native of Masterpiece. the South, and he assures me that the gross thrives as well here as on the Kentucky meadows. I am so eminently satisfied wiih the result that preparations will be shortly made to move all of my stock from the Memphis and Mobile farms to this place. A Quarter-Mile Track Under Roof. "Already orders have been given to the builders to' construct a large half-mile track near the present small one, and beside" several new and spacious barns. I will have a quarter-mile track under roof, to be used in winter and sloppy weather. The yearlings on the place will be put. into training about June 1, and it would do your heart good to witness the high kick ing; Carmencita is nowhere. After being broken they will be shipped directly to the Southern and Eastern tracks where entries have been made for them." The full stable, when complete, will eom pnselCO thoroughbreds, and Captain Brown is perfectly sanguine of his new idea of Northern breeding and training. It is cer tainly a commendable innovation which again demonstrates that "Western Pennsyl vania possesses natural resources for more industries than those founded on iron, -coal, Troubadour. coke and oil. All that is needed is nerve and enterprise. Captain Sam Brown, assisted by his worthy lieutenants, David Johnson and B. F. Cuppetts, superintendents of his breed ing farm up the river, has accomplished this, and in doing so he is justly proud. Ltma KalKE, SPECIAL EPK MONDAY. Bargains In Our Well-Lighted Basement P. C. C.

Thieves Are hut Seldom Seen in tbe Money Center of New Tork. CAPITALISTS CAEEI TERI LITTLE COIN fCOBEESrOXDEKCI Or TBE DISPATCH. J NBW Yobs, April 80. The sight of money is comparatively rare in "Wall" street. The business il wholly done by checks. There are two reason for this: One is facility and the bther is safety. If money were used not only the brokers but the banks would have to treble their forces of clerks. A check for flOO.000 or 11,000,000, or in fact any amount and million-dollar checks are not at all uncommon can be bandied in a couple of seconds, while to count out $1,000, 000 in bills as the denominations average would take half a day of hard work. Then again, If money were used "Wall street would be a thieves' paradise. A wall around the great financial center would not keep them out. Ther would scale it or tunnel it The entire police force of New York could not repress the stealing. As it is, onlyjtwo of Superintendent Byrnes' de fectives are kept in the "street," and their presence is little more than precautionary. The principal occupation of the policemen on the regular beats is to disperse gather ings which block the wdy and to pilot peo ple over the crossings. ' "When he was chief of the detective force Superintendent Byrnes established a rule that no professional "crook" must be seen below Fulton street, wntcn is six oioces from "Wall street. In police parlance that is known as the "dead line." It a thief known to either the detectives or the police men is seen in "Wall street he is told to "get," and he invariably "gets." Little Chance for Thieving There. There is little dishonesty in "Wall street because there is little opportunity for it All'checks are drawn "to order" and they cannot be used by others than the ones for whom they are intended, unless forgery is resorted to. A lost check is of no more value to the finder than a piece of blank paper. It is the practice of most brokerage and banking houses to draw checks to the order of their cashiers and they in turn make them payable to the order of the payees. Thus a treble precaution is provided for checks require three names to make them good. For another thing the cashiers do not have direct access to the firms' bank accounts. No money, beyond what might be designated as "current cash," reaches the cashiers' hands. Checks prepared for deposit are likewise valueless. On the back of them is stamped "For deposit in the Blank Bank to the credit of," and here the name of the firm appears. They would not be reoeived by any other bank, nor for any other account than the one specified. Scores of messen ger boys are seen every day. In "Wall street carrying bank books, from between the leaves of which protrude checks aggregat ing hundreds of thousands of dollars. The boys know how worthless the checks would be" to them, and so does everybody else familiar with the methods of the "street" Guards Placed on the Tin Boxes. Every day at the close of business the brokers pack in tin boxes or stiff leather cases tbe stocxs ana Donas wnicn iney are "carrying" in their offices, either "on mar- ?;in" for customers or as "collateral" for oans, and take them to the safe deposit van H fnr necuTfi keenincr over cieht These receptacles are carefully guarded to and from the yaults by clerks. The stocks and registered bonds stand in the names of con cerns and individuals, and could not be negotiated by others. Coupon bonds, how ever, are good in anybody s hands, and if stolen they could not be recovered from an innocent holder, Although their identity might be determined by the numbers on them. The chief reason for the protection of the brokers' boxes is the trouble that would be caused If one should be taken. The com panies that issued the securities, except the coupon bdnds, would furnish new ones but would require bonds of indemnity. "When the banks make deposits they do not pay over the actual money. II the borrowers have accounts with them they place the amounts to their credit Other wise they issue cashiers' checks which can be deposited in the banks where the bor rowers have accounts. The banks settle among themselves daily. The "differ ences"are determined at the Clearing House and cashiers' checks are sent to the banks to which balances are due. The actual money used in "Wall street, putting the bus iness of brokers with that of the banks, does not exceed 1 per cent of the total trans actions. Capitalists Use but Little Cash. The great capitalists of "Wall street, in their personal expenditures, do not use money. They employ checks for the same reason as the brokers. In the defrayal of their household expenses even they use checks. It is the custom of most of them to allow their butlers so much a month for the maintenance of their establishments. The butlers, figuratively speaking, board them. The. millionaires, too, are as methodical in their personal as in their business aflairs. They keep strict account ot what they draw for their expenses and what they pay out Mr. Gould carries his cash in an old-fashioned wallet in an inside pocket Says at a time pass without his opening the wallet Bussell Sage carries his cash in a long lrellow envelope which renoses in the in- 1 -. ------ . - -jr. . ... .. . side pocket ot his coat with the money is a strip of paper npon which he jots down in his small and neat chirography his out lays. Nobody is more exact than Mr. Sage and his punctiliousness is shown in his personal matters quite as much as in his business dealings. Oollis P. Huntington Is particularly "an "old-tashioned" man. He carries a big wallet, but tbe receptacles in it are stuffed with papers. One space is enough for the money that he needs tor his individual expendituies. Less gold in pro portion to the money used is seen in "Wall street than almost anywhere else. HOWAED IEVTNG SMITH. MtW ADV-KKTMUM IISI'IS. SPOONS GIVEN AWAY.
