' -- AFTER THE STARTER A DEATHBED SCENE DESCRIBED BY LOUIS HARRISON. He Was Dying Race Track "Tout," and He Imagined He Had "a Copper Llne.i Cinch" to Piay on the Track That Day. and No Time to Lose. I have hesitated abont the following true story of a deathbed scene which occurred in this city. 1 had the description directly from the doctor in attendance. He has lately left New York to continue his profession else where, and 1 am constrained to tell the story as he described it, suppressing all names. The snow and sleet dashed through the death chitting atmosphere in wild ! waves. The wind mnanfiil among the telegraph wires. A solitary hackman, driven from his seat by the waning elements, had ensconced him j self inside his mournful looking vehicle and tapped upon the frost covered glass , to attract the attention of belated night ! owls. Winter in its - -w J4,kJW J CkJ V CIO apon ns. In a dingy looking house on Thirtieth street a young man weak and emaciated tossed restlessly upon a bed. He was a race track tout, and the great mental strain he had been subjected to for years in naming sure winners had left him an absolute wreck. His sunken cheeks, his eyes ablaze with fever and his corpselike pallor all denoted that he had but a few short hours to live. A professional nurse, with that cold, hos pital stretcher expression they all pos sess, sat in a corner of the darkened room and whiled away the time by figuring how the undertaker would man age to get the coffin around that narrow turn in the stairs. The doctor had been summoned, and when he rang the bell the tout waved his bony arms aloft and shrieked: "They're off I Tenny in a walk! Tenny gets all the money, and Salvator won't be one. two, six!" the tout's cixcn. He fell back on the bed exhausted as the doctor entered the room. The phy sician removed his greatcoat and the nurse shook the rain and snow from it. "Doctor, this is a dreadful night. 1 suppose you are wet through?" The tout regained consciousness and muttered: "The track will be heavy to morrow, and I've got a copper riveted, lead pipe, copyrighted, air tight cinch. Firenze in the mud she swims in it She can make the' pace so hot that the track will be dry before she does the first quarter." The doctor approached the bed, and touching the patient's pulse said. "How da you feel?" "Well, I'll tell you," he replied, "just how I feel about this. The Dwyers sta ble is next to ours, and they tell me everything. Phil told me this morning that Blackjack would wiu in a horrible canter. - You see, the party that owns him wants to make a hoglrilling, arid no oirj knows that he's out for the dust.'" Turning to the nurse the doctor in quired, "Have you notified his friends of his condition?" The tout started up and yelled: "Of course I have! I want to let Vin all in on the ground floor. Why, it's a little sure money. I saw him tried at daylight this morning. lit? made tii Ur.st quarter in 0:21 i. the second in 0:!J?. and the third was so fast that it broke my stop watch and loosened three of my teeth. How can he lose it? Why, it's just like tailing tn rough the roof ot a mint." The doctor looked very serious and said, "lie will be dead man hour." LOST BY-A DKKATIJ. "Oh. no, lu won't." the tout sneered. "There's not a deai 1 .one in the hunt. If any oi em were sun i u i.now u. i ueu 3'ou, Blackjack is full of Tabasco sauce. and he'll leave all them other plug.; at the post. Why shouldn't he? Do yon know his pedigree? Blackjack is out f Dark Lantern,, by BlaekweH's Island, and he's a born cracker." The doctor; felt his pulse again and sighed, "1 can do no move; 1 must be going." The tout caught his arm and. drawing his head down close to the pil low, whispered: "After the Blackjack race meet me in the paddock. If you .... iit - i win I've got to give titty Collars to tne trainer, twenty-five to the jockey and twenty to .the stable boys. I'll put what's left on the nest race, and if the horse wins, you're in on it. So meet me in the paddock and I'll cash your ticket." The doctor took the dying man's hand and said, "My poor boy, are you pre pared to meet the Great Judge?" The tout gasped, "J -don't want to meet the judge; the man I'm afW is the starter." The physician pressed his attenuated hand, and, as the moisture gathered in his sympathetic eyes, said. "Now turn your face to the Vail, my boy, and go to sleep." "I will," the tout muttered. "Ill get net to the rail, so that when 1 turn the corner they can't foul me. 'Here's a telegram 1 just received from the owner. There s fU to l on LiiacKjac. get it quick bef6re they cut it down.

And we denounce the McKinley tariff bill as upjust to the consumers of the country, and leading to the formation of the trusts combines and monopolies which have oppressed the people; and especially do we denounce the unnecessary and burdensome increase in the tax on cotton ties and on tin, so largely used by the poorer portion of the people. We likewise denounce the iniquitious Lodge Force bill, whose purpose is to establish a second period ot recon ptruction in the Southern States, to subvert the liberties of our people and inflame a new race antagonism and sectional animosities.

Relieving in the doctrine of "equal rights to all and special privi leges to none," we demand that tax ation, national or State, shall not be used to build up one interests or class at the expense of another.
