Summaries Other Fair Notes.
pll to the Scrnntnn Tribune.
Dallas, Pa., Oct. 4. An attendance of
nearly 7,000 persons broke nil previous
records at the fair grounds hero today.
The day was raw and cold nnd red
nofts and blue tips were tlic rule
among the spectator!'.
It required ton heats to decide the
two harness events, The first race,
the 2.18 event, was captured otter live
heats by Tinker, owned by It. G. Nor
ton ot Scranton, and second money
was secured by liny Tosky, owned by
A. J. Schnell of Scrnnton.
The second race, for road horses
owned In Luzerne county, was won by
Dan 31.. an ungainly looking but fast
gelding owned by Frank Mulderlg of
Black Haven, Pa. This race also took
live heats to decide, the first three go
Ing lo three different animals.
The port was marred to a great ex
tent by long delays at the post, each
beat being scored for a number of
times. The starting, also, was poor,
there being but one really good vend
off during the afternoon.
It was after sundown when the
races wore over. There wore unrea
sonable delays which should bo done
away with if the management expects
to attract crowds to their meetings
heieaftot.
The fair will be continued tomorrow.
There will be a parade of all the live
stock at 11 o'clock n. in. In the after
noon two races will bo decided. The
first Is for the 2. -IS class for a puree of
$150 and the other a frpp for all with
a purse of WOO.
Many Vehicles.
Kvcry foot of hitching room was tak
en up around the fences and rails
around the course. The crowds all
had a touch of the holiday spirit about
them and many lunching parties were
scattered around In the dry and sun
ny spots. Kvcryoiic sought the sun,
for it was chilling In the least bit of
shadow.
Although the grounds were in much
better shape than on Thursday as far
as mud was concerned, yet. walking
was decidedly bad, and the sticky con
ditions had given way In most spots to
a slippery and slimy substance. A
number of falls occurred on the
pianks that had been laid in the most
boggy places, for the boards were
coated with an oozy, dripping dampness
that was about as safe to step on
as tallow.
Merrill's conceit band ot Plymouth
discoursed popular melodies on a plat
form opposite the grand stand both
before and during the heats. This or
ganization helped to relieve the tedium
of waiting to a great extent.
A northwest wind, keen and search
ing, made things decidedly uncomfort
able for all who were without over
coals or wraps. The largo audiences
in the grand stand shivered and grew
blue when the sun disappeared behind
a cloud, which event happened too of
ten. The sky was piled full and bank
ed high with fleecy, cumulous clouds
and they were constantly veiling the
kindly glances of old Sol, who, when
he got a chance, made things pleasant
and smiled benlgnantly upon the mul
titudes. The chilling breeze blew down
the stretch into the nostrils of the
hor.-es as they catuc toward the fin
ishing line.
Track Was Fine..
The track was in prime condition
and the spectators indulged hopes that
there would be some fast time stepped
orr.
, The fakirs who have been on the
grounds for the past three days had
a number of additions to their ranks
today and the many fair-goers seemed
well supplied with change and dis
posed to part with it freely. Kvery
square rod of space back of the grand
etund had Its particular attraction ami
were aurroundod all through the day
with curious gazers.
During the progress of the races the
major part of the spectators viewed
them from the lawn Inside the track.
This spot was preferable to the shaded
stands for comfort's sake.
In the judges' stand William Moore
of Wilkcs-Rarre was the presiding
Eenius as starter. Associated with him
as judges were tf. 11. Catlln and Theo
dore Henshaw, and as timers .1. H.
Snyder and P. N. Shaw. Harry An
derson of Dallas was clerk of the
course.
The first race of the afternoon was
called at 2 o'clock. It was for trot
ters and pacers of tins 2.18 class. In
the few bets that were made I.ucy
Heyer, owned by .lames Cool, of
Wllkes-Barre, appeared to be the fav
orite. A number of Scranton horsemen
wen visible about tlie grounds nnd In
the stand. Considerable complaint
Mas made by the spectators because
the races were so late in getting start
ed. Most of those In attendance had
many miles to drive after the day's
sport wa over and If tho races had
been started an hour earlier It would
have given much satisfaction. Tho
results of tho races were:
First Race 2.18 Class.
First heat Although there were thir
teen entries for this race, there wero
but flvo starters. May Tosky, owned
by A. J. Schnell, of Scranton, got tho
pole, Tony Wilkes was second, Lucy
Hcyer third; Tinker, owned by 11. a,
Norton, ot Scranton, fourth, ami Mar
lon Wilkes trailing. After scoring five
nnieo uiu worn was given to a very
poor start, Marlon Wilkes being way
Dchluil and ore her feet. At tho quar
ter May Tosky was a length In front
3f Lucy lieycr, with Tinker third three
lengths back, At tho half, May held
her lead, but Tinker was closo up to
Lucy for second place. At six furllngs
May and Lucy and Tinker wore making
a. pretty race of it, and coming around
the turn for home It was an Inspiriting
struggle, Muy Tosky won the heat by
a. length, with Tinker second a neck In
front of Lucy Heyer, Time of heat.
Second heat After three trials tho
bunch was sent away to another poor
tart. Tony Wilkes being away behind
md Tinker off his feet. At tho quarter
May Tosky was first a neck In front of
Lucy Heyer, and Marlon Wilkes third,
three lengths away. At tho half Muy
Tosky was In front by u length, Lucy
Heyer second the sutne dlstunce from dcntlals
Marlon. 'At six furlongs May had six
lengths to spare over Lucy, who waB
but a neck ahead of Marlon Wilkes.
At tho mllo May Tosky came homo a
winner on a Jog, three lengths In front
of Lucy Heyer, who was at least that
much to tho good of Marlon Wilkes.
Time of heat, 2.2,'.
Third heat After a little preliminary
scoring the word was given. May Tos
ky got a bad send-off, being third In
line. At the quarter Tinker was a
length nhcad of Lucy Heyer, with May
Tosky third. At the half Tinker was
the Biitnc distance In front of Lucy,
with May Tosky unchanged. At six
furlongs Tinker was first, with May
Tosky second, nnd Lucy third, all
strung out. The finish was a good one,
Tinker, tinder tho whip, beating May
Tosky three lengths for the heat, with
Lucy Heyer a length behind the roan
mare from Scranton. Time, 2.24.
Fourth heat There was but one
score that proved futile. The second
time the field came down the word was
given. It was the worst of the numer
ous poor stnrts of tho afternoon.
Marlon Wilkes was off her feet nnd
half a dozen lengths behind the field,
while the others were not in line by
any means. At the quarter Tinker was
first, May Tosky second nnd Lucy
Heyer third, all strung out In single
file. At the half there was no change
In positions or in the distances. At six
furlongs Tinker was first by three
lengths, while May Tosky led Lucy by
two. The finish was again a spirited
one, all three leaders coming home
under punishment. Tinker won the
heat, a length ahead of Lucy Heyer,
who led the Scranton mare by only a
neck, getting the place ten feet from
tho who. Time of heat, 2.2.'..
Fifth heat After three trials they
were sent off to the best start or the
afternoon. At the llrst quarter Tinker
was three lengths ahead of Lucy
Heyer, who was then a neck In front
of May Tosky for second place. Lucy
broke right there and May captured
second place. At the half Tinker was
three lengths In front of May and Lucy
was third, on n break again. At the
six-furlong mark Tinker was going
easy and led by a good margin over
Tosky, with Lucy a poor third, and
tho remainder of tho Journey was fin
ished In this wise. Time of heat, 2.26',i.

Second Race Road Race.
First heat Four horses owned In
Luzerne county started In this race.
Irving P.. had the pole, Frank Coley
was second, Big Jim third and Dan M.
fourth. This horse was of a dirty
white color and had a sprawling stride
that gave him a clumsy appearance.
The heats were only half mile ones,
best three In rive. After scoring six
times the word was given to a good
start. The big buckskin horse started
right In from the jump to win the heat
and was five lengths In the lead before
the first furlong pole was reached. The
other three wero strung out at wide
intervals. At the quarter Dan M. was
away ahead. Big Jim being the closest
to him. The cream colored horse won
the half-mile heat in hollow fashion,
Pig Jim second, Irving B. third nnd
Frank Cooley fourth. Time of heat,
1.16.
Second heat There was a tedious de
lay due to the field not being properly
plnccd while scoring. At last the
starter got tired and gave the word.
Dan M., the pole horse, was a length
behind and was cut off at the time,
causing him to break badly. At the
quarter Frank Cooley was In the lead,
three lengths ahead of Irving B., with
Dan M. third. At the fifth furlong the
cream horse began to make up the
lost ground and caught and passed Ir
ving P.. a hundred feet from the wire.
Tho journey was too short, however,
and Frank Cooley won the heat by a
neck from Dan. Time of heat, l.lMi.
Third heat The start was a poor
one, Frank Cooley being behind. At
the turn Frank broke and Dan M. and
Irving B. went ahead. Dan led only
a little way, and at the quarter Irving
B. was In fiont, with Frank Cooley
second and Dan third, ten lengths
back. Coming Into the stretch the
cream horse came like a whirlwind,
but was pocketedi half way up nnd
could not get by the first two. Irving
B. won this heat by a neck, Frank
Cooley was second half a length to the
gooil or Dan M. Kach of tho three
heats bad been taken by a different
horse at this stage. Bets were freely
made that Dan would win the race.
Time for this' heat, l.iey.
Fourth heat After two scores there
was a long delay experienced by tho
shivering crowd, duo to Frank Cooley
being taken to the stable to have some
repairs made to his gearing. Then
there were more scores before the small
field got away. The start was the best
so far. Although Dan was the last to
go under the wire lie had passed all the
rest before the quarter was reached
and led Irving B. by half a length. Big
Jim was third, half a score of lengths
back. The half was finished on a jog
by the cream horse, three lengths In
front of Irving, with Jim n poor third.
Time, 1.10.
Fifth heat Aguin a poor stait. The
big cream horse set out the pace at
mice nnd was never headed, finishing
the heat as ho pleased. It was after
sunset when this heat was finished.

MURDERERS DESPISE CZOLGOSZ.
Condemned Men In Auburn Against
President's Assassin,
Ily Ku'lmho Wire from The Associated I'rcn.
Auburn, Oct. 4. Cssolfi-osz has begun
to read and obtains honks from tho
prison library, The assassin Is de.
splsed by the other occupants of tho
condemned cells, who consider them
selves in a higher class, Kgnor, who
killed Keeper Benedict, has obtained
a picture of McKlnley, which he lias
framed nnd draped In mourning. His
cell Is between Czolgosz's and the
death chumber, He lias planned to
hang the picture facing outward at
tho grating of tho cell door and to
duro the assassin to look at It us ho
goes past to death.
Warden Mead has given orders to

allowed that on May 2d the Brooklyn's supply ol
coal wan 9.12 tonai tlio Iowa', Tbi tons! tl,o
Texa, 403 tow, and (he Slatblclieail, 122 torn.
Tim lieutenant Mid that en May 21 the Brooklyn
had coal enough aboard to liae remained on
blockade duty oft Santiago lor twenty-five days,
and then to have returned to Key West; till
Maasachusetti enough to remain seventeen day,
nnd then go to Key Wcttj the Iowa enough for
eleven dava; the Texan, seven days, and tin
Matblchcad, one day. That tvnj, auumliitt that
they would have gone to the Yucatan Channel.
He alto frava an estimate of the length ot time
they could hate remained and gone to Oonalvcl
Channel, Capo Cruz, Mole St. Nicholas, Kingston,
Port Antonio, .lamatcii, Guantanamo Hay, tlm
lime of remaining on blockade being Increased
as the distance to the various point diminished.
The Coal Supply.
Sir. lla.Uier biought nut the Information rule
cernlng the time the coal on each of the xoeli
would have lasted on forced draught In eluding
the enemy's vessels, taking the amount of o.il
on each on May 20, nnd leaving siilMi'lent coal to
return to Key West. Mr. Hnjner lend the in
formation from Mr. Dyson' ladle showing that
the Iowa would have lonmmed 24:1 tons of coal
n day, the Texas 100 tons a day and the Marble
head seventy-seven tons. That ctlmni- would,
lie said, give the Itrookhn 2.3 day's ihae, re
turning by way of the Yucatan Channel, and 2,;l.'
days chase returning by the Windnaiu Passage:
the Iowa a chase of 1.2 days. The Texas would
have a chase of three-fourths of a day, and, re
turning by way of the Wlndwatd Passage, nine
tenths of a day. The Marldehead would hac a
ihac of two-tenths of a day by the Yucatan,
and foiu-lenths of a day by the Windward Pas
age. The table khowed that Ihe Massnchusettf could
not have steamed more than llftern knots an hour
nnd that in doing so she would have consumed
ISO tons per day. At this rate the could have
i-liacil the enemy for 1.H days, returning via
Yucatan Channel, or for two days returning lij
the Windwaid Passage.
The witness said, in reply lo iiiestlon, that Ills
vlatetnent contemplated aveiagc conditions of
weather and of the vessels.
"You have taken as a base for coaling a num
ber of ports," said Mr. n.iyuer. "You took
Connives, the Mole and Klng.-ton. Thove are
porta that have just been glten ou from which
lo make the calculation?"
"'Ihe.se ports were jnt mentioned to me here
today."
"You, of comic, know notbing about our right
lo coal in those ports?"
"I do not."
Commander Bodgers' Testimony.
Lieutenant Pyon was followed on Ihe stand by
Commander tnninnd P. lioilgers, who was exeeu
the officer of (be battleship Iowa (Inline the
summer of It-OS. 'Ihe commander testified that
the Iowa left Key West on .May 20 for C'ienfuegos,
to join the Flying Nwadion. Before leaving,
the commander, ns a lepiesentntivc of Captain
Ktans, bad a confciewe with Commander-in-Chief
Sampson, at hIikIi Captains Taylor and
Chadwitk were pic-nt. At that time he was told
by Admiral Sampon tli.it lie bad received In
founation fiom the deiiarlnient at Washington
1 lint the Spani.-tli Heel, under Ccncra, was prob
ably in the harbor In Santiago. Commander
Kogeis, however, bad no! been iiifniined of uti)
MLret code for communication with the Culian
imuieents near Cieiifueuos. lie bad taken dh
patches for Connnoilnie Schley. lie was not
tertain whether tbeie was more than one pack
age, but believed tlieie was. Due of the dis
patches, the witness thought, was that signed
by Secretary Long, dated Washington, 12..'!0
o'clock, May 20, beginning:
"The report of the SpanUh Heel being at San
tiago de Cuba might iry well be cotrect, so
the department stiongly advises that- y on hend
word immediately by the Iowa to Schley lo pio
ceed off Santiago with bis whole command, leav
ing one small vessel off Ciefuegos."
Captain Rogers was evaniined at length con
cerning the coaling of the Flying Squaihoii.
"Could you have coaled the low.i on Ihe allcr
noon of .May 2(iV" Mr. Manna anked.
"In the late nfleinoou, the time I speak of, the
weather being tine and smot.th, I think tbeie
would have been no trouble at all," replied the
witness.
"When Ihe tollier can deliver co.il can a
battleship like the Inna take it?"
"With a ship like the Iowa, with no broadside
guns, the danger in coaling at ca is entirely to
the inllier."
"Is there any more danger to a i oilier with a
battleship on either side?"
"Theic would be veiy gieil danger tn n col
lier in coaling battleships Willi a battleship on
cither side."
Captain Rndgeis iclateil two or thiee iiistamos
in which the ship-, of Ihe I'ljing Squadron were
denied for action mi sigii.il firnu the flagship

bardment or leconnoisance of the Ciistnhul Colon
on May ."1, In whiih Hie Iowa pailicipaled. He
said the ve.-sels were all in foiiuatioii and fol
lowing the flagship, which in thai instance was
the Ma-sachuetls. The range was lit fii-l giieu
at 7,1)00 y.uds for this engagement, but tlie shots
fell so far .short that the range was increased In
11,000 yaids. These latter shots fell Into the
channel in whiiii the Colon lay. Some of tbcni
must have fallen within .VX) yards of the Spani-h
i-hlp.

vessels in (lie squadron had tiled at her. He
I mild say jy whether Ihe fleet was fuilher out
In the day than at night, or vhe ei-a. He

Captain Itodgcis had louibnleil his testimony
in iliief when Ihe louil adjourned for lumhcoii.
t the opening of the afternoon -rtsior Captain
Itodgcis was recalled lo the ktauil. lie said, in
reply tn iuo-tions, that he was Ihe senior member
uf Hie naval boaid of simry appointed by Ad
iiiii.il Sampson lo exainlnu the wiecked Spanish
es.sels.
Tlie puiposc of that line of examination was
lo loins' out the wllncss' knowledge lomeining
the effect of tlie Riooklyn's gunnery in the battle
on Santiago, .Inly It. Captain Dodgers said lli.it
tlie llmcklvn was Ihe only vessel Hut fhrd Inl

Tlie wllncss nkn said, lie knew that tlie Rionh
lli had eight-Inch guns, hut Mr. Itnyncr said
tho admiial's computation was not intended to
cniT that feutuie. His only puiprue was to
make the showing for tive-inih guns, tlie'e being
unmistakably Hie llrnoklvn's,
Cioss-examincd on tlie ili-palilies lairtrd by
tlie Iowa, Captain Rndgris was asked if the
"Dear Schley" letter, dated at Key West, Mav
20, ISIS, wiillcn by Admiral Sampson, in wlihii
Ihe statement was made that "I am of opinion
that our hot chance of sum- In capturing the
enemy' ships will he lo hold Cienfuegos and
Havana," was. included in these dispatches. The
witness leplled that lie had no knowledge wlial
the envelope contained.
Bayner Reads Letter,
While the examination on tliii point was in
ptogieM Mr, Rayner read the letter, Including tho
following extract :
"If later it -hould develop (hat those vrv-els
aie at Santiago, we could then aseiulile oft that
port the (hiu be.t suited for the purpose and
completely blockade it, Until we, then, leci-ive
more pmitite infoiiiiajlou we shall inntinue tn
hold Havana and Santiago."
Mr. Itajner rcmaikrd that lie uppocd It would
be conceded that tlie word "Sinliago'' as given
abote was a mistake, ami that it should le.
"Clcnfuegos." Captain l.emly leplled lli.it he
would make no kuch lonccs-lon uud u lilt fol
lowed between couimel concerning the acciiraej
of government publications. It ilo.-ed with uu
understanding Hut the otlginal document iliouhl
t Nppllrd lomoriow.
Id reply lo a question by Mr, ta)iier as to
tho condition of the weather from May 21 lo 20,
Captain liodgers replied t
"1 do not recollect the event of the night nf
May 21th. My recollection Is that on the Inorn
luff anil throughout tlio day of the 2311. the wind
was! frcli from n direction generally nlitad. Our
courso wai generally Foulliautward. The tea do
iend, entirely upon the aire of tlie ship. It was.
what 1 should call n moderate ne.1. I recollect
tlie. wind continued fresh that evening. Next
morning we must hao got nrouml the Capt!
beaded eastward. Tlio weather had moderated
considerably nnd on tho later nttcrnoon tho
weather was, 1 tliould t.iy, line, with n mooth
tea,"
"How were the sea and wealher for small ships
llkfl the Vixen and l.'nglci"
"I should tjiy on Thursday the wealher for
smalt ships would have been cousldcied frrsli nnd
certainly my recollection of seeing the Magic on
that day was that she. was miking what you
might call 'heavy weather.' I should say on
that occasion the sea vviu wlmt one llnds In that
neighborhood when there Is n fresh wind."
The court asked n number of questions of
Captain liodgers, among others being one aa to
whether tlie Brooklyn and Texas: had been In dan.
ger of a collision on duly .'!. Tho wllnes re
plied that If there had been any such danger he
bad not seen the two ships at the time. Ho had
seen thetwo vessels early In the engagement,
but they were then about half a mile apart.
Later he was called below, and If there hid been
sucli danger It was at that lime.
Hodgson on the Stand.
At this point Captain Rodgrrs was excused and
.ludge Achocale bendy, alter stating that Lieu
tenant Commander Alhon C. Hodgson would be
the next witness, pending his nppo.irame, again
brought up the question ns to whether the word
"Santiago" had been substituted by mistake for
the word "Clenfuegos" in the letter written by
Admiral Sampson to Coniniotloio Schley on May
20th, beginning "Dear Schley," Captain l.emly
tnui;
"Tlie woiil was orlginallv 'Santiago' as it is
printed In the senate document. The dlilerencc
uppears to be u matter of punctuation, and in
the leller, as it appeals copied in Admiral Samp
son's copy book, It reads, 'Until we, then, re
ceive more post live Information we shall continue
lo hold Havana and Santiago,' whereas printed
ns nn nppendlx In Hear Admital Schley's letter
to the senate, It is, 'Until we, then, receive more
positive Infoimntion we shall continue to hold
Havana and Santiago.' And 'then,' in the letter
as pi luted refers back tn ollur matters lelatlng
to Santiago, nnd Hie punctuation would appear
in gie It the meaning or tlierefoie 'until we,
tlieiefore, leccive,' which Is not Intended, hut it
nie.iiis leally 'until we then,' after the m rlvnl of
Cervera nt Santiago, 'lecelve. fiutlier information,'
i to. The oilglnal, however, will still be forth
coming." The question as to whether the wonl In tlie
"Dear Schley" letter should lie Santiago nr Cien
fuegos again came up nn a i-t.itrment by .ludge
Advocate f.emly, who said be would continue tn
hold to the Santiago veislou. Mr. Rayner then
said if this was Hie case he would be compelled
lo summon Admiral Sampson, the author ot the
dispatch ns n witness.
Will Summon Sampson.
Tudirc Advocate I told you once before you can
summon nny one you please.
.Mr. llajncr Well, then, summon Admiral
Sampson.
Lieutenant Commander Allien C. Hods.son,
then took tlie stand, lie said that he had been
navigator of the Brooklyn dining Hie Spanish war
nnd was on the bridge nn the day of the battle
of duly :t. He detailed the particulars of that
engagement, telling how the Spaniards came out
and were attacked by the Ameiicun ships. He
said that when Commodoic- Sc hlev was told thev
were "coming for us," lie replied, "then n
for them." The helm was then put anort nnd
fiom that time when straight in Iowa id the
enemy, lie next heaid tlie coinmudoie s.n :
"Look out, Cook, they are going to ram you."
The captain leplled he would look out for thai.
lie then heard tlio commander sing out "hard
upml." nnd Captain Cook replied that tlie helm
was nport. Tho witness said if the ship went to
starboard she would ram the Texas. The com

JENNY LIND'S YOUTH.
SAW HER CHILD ELOPE.
Frantic Mother Gave Chnse, but Was
Powerless.
By l'xrluio Wire fiom Tl.c- AMoiintecl Press.
Vineland, N. .T Oct. 4, Willi her as
tonislied mother t-i-i-pnniinir in protest,
17-ycar-oId Ethol I'olhauius, one of the
prettiest school Kills in the town,
spraiiK into a carringi' and eloped with
Kloh-ird Leeds last niKlit. Tlio couple
wore actively pursued by men on bi
cycles, but nuinawd to f-vt away. To
day the i-iiTs father, Captain 11. T.
Polliainus, swore out ti warrant for
the arrest of Leeds on a elun-RO of
abduction, nnd lie declares that he will
spend every dollar he possesses to
brlupf the youiiK man to punishment.
Leeds Is a youm,' married man, with
one child, and Is very well known.
Mrs. Polhnniuri says she has wood
reason lo believe from the peculiar no
tions of her daiiKhtor that Leeds, who
Is said to be an amateur mesmerist,
exercised some sort of hypnotic power
over ihe jjlrl, When Mrs. Polliniiuis
became aware of the attaehiiiout be
tween her datiKhter and Leeds, she
kept a close watch on the nlr), but
tlio latter eluded her and met tlie man
clandestinely. Then tlio parents
locked their daiiKhtor In a room, but
the girl escaped by a second-story
window at ulKlit and met tho man.
Last nlBht I'Hhel dressed in her best
and stolo from the house, but the
watchful mother followed her about
the streets, and at leiiKih approached
her on the corner of Tilled and AVood
streets.
"Mamma," said lOlhel, "can you run
as fast as it horse?"
"AVhy, what do you mean, child?"
exclaimed the suipilsed mother, but,
hardly had lio spoken, when a team of
horsss attached to a biiKBy, In which
two men were sitting, dashed by.
"Klliel!" cried Leeds, as ho passed.
"Here 1 inn; come to uio!"
At the sound of his voice Mthel, said
her mother today, trembled, and then
ran in pursuit of tlio oarrlaKo. The
mother was dumbfounded, but recov
ering Iter presence of inlnd, ran as fast
as she rnuld after her duii-flitcr,
"She is my daiiKhtor," cried Mrs. Pol
liainus, frantically, "and I command
yrui not to take her away!"
Tho team, however, only slackned
speed enough to allow the Bill to catch
up to It, and then, without -toppinf,',
one of tho men, supported by the other,
leaned' far out over the wheels and
drew the ulrl into the vehicle upon
hit) lap. Then tho men whipped up
their lyirsea and sped away.

Polhamus, who, upon his return lioiiie,
had been lold of tho departure of Kthel,

and it is not definitely known in which
she was born. Iioth claim the honor,
but tho weight of evidence seems to
be in favor of the former, which Is on
a short street in the manufacturing
section of tlio city and mostly occu

the center of tlie business section.
A Mr. Liiidhal, who holds a position
In tlie Itoyal library here, has an In
teresting collection of letters and doc
uments relating to tlio early life of
Jenny Lind, lie has certified copies of
the record of her birth and christen
ing and the proceedings of the court,
which, when she was 14 years of age,
decided that her parents were unfit
persons to have charge of her, and ap
pointed the director of the opera houso

ber of autograph letters written when
she was a child and afterward when
she was a young woman in Paris
studying with Mine. Garcia,
One of them, written at the ago of
11, Is extremely interesting, for It re
veals the poverty or her family and
her thoughtfiilness In saving expenses
for her mother. She says that she
must have a new pair of shoes, for the
shoemaker has refused to repair her
old ones any longer and tells her
mother that she can buy a pair at
Drottnlughnlm, where she Is stopping

king's palace a little cheaper than she
can get them at .Stockholm. Tho let
