WHENCE THE PACER’S GAITP
It Was Known 200 Years Ago, but
Its Origin Is a Mystery.
From the Kentucky Stock Farm.
Many col umus have been written re
specting the origin of the pacer without
any elucidation of the problem. When
and whence he came remains an inscruta
ble mystery. Traditions lead somewhat
to tlie conclusion that he came from
France, but traditions are uot facts. 'lhe
Narragansett pacers were known in
Rhode island, but the most energetic re
search has failed to show any trace of
the period of their importation. One
thing is certain, they were there in 1867,
and this expiodes the theory that Gov.
Robinson introduced them. That func
tionary was not born in 1693. Con
cerning the Narragansett pacers, Capt.
John Hall, of pine-tree shilling fame, one
of the original purchasers of the Peta
quauscuL tract, or Narragansett, from
the, Indians, wrote in 1677:
“] have often thought if we, the part
ners ol Point Judith Neck, did fence with
a good stone wall at the north end thereof,
that no kind of horses might get thereon,
and also what other parts thereof west
ernly were needful, and procure a very
good breed of large and fair mares and
horses, and that no mongrel breed might
come among them, we might have a very
choice breed for coach horses, some for
1]..- saddle and some for draught, and in
a few years might draw off considerable
numbers and ship them for Barbadoes,
Nevis or such parts of the Indies where
they would vend.”
I he Narragansett is the ideal saddle
horse, and lie has maintained his [ire • rai
neiice for more than two centuries. Alice
Morse Earle, in a very entertaining ar
ticle on "Travel in Now England in Olden
Times,” speaks thus of the Narragansett
pacer;
••Whatever the means may liavo been,
and whoever employed the means that
tended lot-lie establishment of a distinct
breed of horses, the result was
: Nionevkient. By the early year of theoigh-
I.VUUI t entury the Narragansett pacers
were known turoughout me colonies as a
1 desirable breed of saddle norses. It is
| sal ,i that the progenitor, or most impor
'tant fire of this race was imported from
i Audluasi" bvGovernor Kobinson. Another
tradition is Unit this horse, while
i swimming off the cons' oi Spain, was
picked up by a Narragansett sloop and
I I,roughl la America Ju the year 1711
| Rip Van Dam, a prominent >UI-
I /..(j of New 'i ork and at a later date
, i|„. ~„v i,- the state, wrote to
i .lUnithau D* kerson. an early nitty or of
Paul >eljmi.T, 1 very iimus.ug account of
I his ownership of a Nanw.ius'ti pacer.
I Tin horse wu ■ shipped unm Rhode island
THE MORNING NEWS : MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1893.
in a sloop, from which he managed to i
jump overboard, swim ashore and return i
home. He was, however, again placed |
aboard ship and arrived in New York j
after a fourteen days’ passage, naturally !
reduced in flesh and si irits. From New
York he was sent to Philadelphia by post
—that is, ridden by the post rider. The
horse cost i‘32 and his freight cost 50
shillings. He was said to be‘no beauty,
though so high-priced, save in his legs. ”
While quite interesting, the above is
simply fiction and leaves the origin of the
pacer and his importation into Rhode
Island as far off as ever. Continuing, the
same writer says:
“The Rev. Mr. Thatcher of Barnstable
wrote in 1690 of teaching his mare to am
ble by cross-spanning and again by tram
meling. Logs of wood were placed across
a road at certain intervals to induce a
pacing gait. As late as the your 1770 men
in Ipswich followed the profession of
pace-trainer; but I doubt whether any
other breed could ever acquire the peoiliar
gait of the Narragansetts, of which Isaac
Hazard thus wrote;
“ 'My father described the motion of
this horse as different from others in that
its baekbnne moved through the air in a
straight line, without inclining the rider
from side to side, as does a rocker or
pacer of the present day.’ ”
It is possible that the pacer was brought
from France, and it is possible also, as
Mr. Wallace says, that he was taken
from Rhode Island. Prom this colony
many pacers were sent to the West In
dies, where they found a ready market.
One farmer sent annually a hundred
pacers to Cuba, and agents were sent to
Narragansett from Cuba with orders to
buy pacers, especially full-blooded mares,
at any price.
FLESH-EATING SNAKES.
Snake-Fighter Adams Makes an
Astonishing Discovery.
From the Philadelphia Press.
John Adams, who lives- down in the
Neck, and whose dog disappeared after a
terrific battle with a host of horned
tailed snakes over a week ago, is incon
solable. He found the skeleton of the
animal in the marsh and he has sworn to
be revenged upon the whole snake family.
Incidentally he made some new discover
ies.
Since Friday a week ago, Adams has
devoted his spare time to looking for his
dog. He had an idea that the canine was
only frightened and would find his way
home when he got hungry. But a whole
week passed and nothing was seen or
heard of the dog.
Adams determined to learn his pet’s
fate, and donning a pair of long rubber
boots he sallied forth early Saturday
morning. He brought down a few birds
with his gun, but he did it more out of
habit than anything else. He heard the
whistling made by several Hocks of ducks
as they sailed southward over the
marshes, but he was not looking for
ducks. He went to the place where he
had the battle with the horn-tailed snakes,
and much to his surprise the hollow log
in which the snakes had lived was miss
ing.
On a patch of grass left here by the re
ceeding tine Adams saw something that
nearly scared him out of seven years
growth. He could distinguish the bones
of an animal. All round the knoll was a
moving, seething mass of snakes. They
seemed to be double-ended and scurried
back and forth as if they had important
business to carry out and were anxious to
get through as soon as possible.
THEY ESCAPE HIS CLUTCHES.
Adams was spellbound. He remem
bered his experience with the horn-tailed
snakes and thought he might gain a re
ward from Superintendent Brown of the
Zoo for one of the snakes. He had neg
lected to reload his gun after shooting the
reed birds. His face wore a grim smile
of exultation until he reached to his belt
to get a cartridge. Then his expression
changed and he said words which some
of the newspapers use dashes, asterisks
and exclamation marks to express. His
cartridge belt had been lost while he was
struggling through- the morass.
He could not shoot any of the snakes
so he went at them with his feet and gun
atocK. The more lie tried to * kill them
the more tired he became and after a half
hour’s hard work he was obliged to rest
on a log that stuck out of the swamp
nearby without even a snake to his
credit. He watched the snakes for nearly
an hour. He says they averaged eighteen
inches in length and resembled the com
mon water moccasin, so plentiful in the
southern swamps. Unlike the moccasin,
however, they have two heads, or at least
have the power of propelling, themselves
backward or forward as they desire, just
like the common earth worn. Adams says
that around the necks of the largest
snakes were rings of crimson that faded
away to a light blue as the sun shone on
them.
A SAD RECOGNITION.
The snakes cleaned the bones of the
animal in an hour. Adams doubled on
his trail and finally found his cartridges.
When he returned to capture some of the
snakes not a reptile was in sight. He was
disappointed, for he had twenty-eight
cartridges, and could have slaughtered a
thousand reptiles. But his disappoint
ment gave away to rage when he examined
the bones on the little knoll. He recog
nized the remains of his faithful egg
sucking, chicken-stealing, stumpy-tailed
dog who had met an untimely fate at the
tails of the horn-tailed snakes. Adams
identified the bones by the stumpy tail
and the missing molars on the right side
of the dog’s jaw.
Adams thinks that his dog went back
to renew the fight with the horn-tailed
snakes, and that, weak from the loss of
blood in the first encounter and outnum
bered by the enemy, he met his death
like a hero. Adams says he will secure a
basket of the double-ended snakes if it
takes him a year.
The World's Fair.
Take it all in all the world is fair. That is,
its judgments are prettv generally just. No
doubt it has formed many incorrect conclu
sions from the time the caravels of Columbus
appeared oft the shores of San Salvador to
the present year of celebration, but there are
instances of its fairness which can be cited
unquestioned. It has. after comparative tests,
given its reward to* Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters for efficacy in cases of mala
rial, rheumatic and kidney disorder, dys
pepsia. liver complaint, constipation, ner
vousness and debility. Among "positive
facts, without any doubt" this ver
dict deserves a prominent place. The expe
rience of a generation justices, and the con
current testimony of hosts of eminent physi
c.aus bear out Its truth. Give the bitters a
fair trial aad verify it.—ad.

GERMANY’S BUDGET.
The Fight Over the Financial Pro
posals to Bea Lively One.
(Copyright, 1893, by the United Press.)
Berlin, Oct. 15.—Semi-oflk ial news
papers say that the financial proposals of
the government will be laid before the
Reichstag when the deputies reassemble
on Nov. 20. These proposals are said to
be such as will command money for tho
army bill. Alter they shall have been
passed the deputies will be expected to
consider reforms which the emperor
has long had at heart. It is only just to
say that assurance in future success is
really entertained in government circles,
although every week brings an increase
of power to the agrarians, clericals and
radicals, who form the opposition.
RALLYING AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.
The associations of tobacco manufac
turers, wine growers and wine merchants
are holding meeting after meeting to pro
test against the impending tax and are
subscribing funds to sustain the popular
will, and cause ferment against
the government. Conservative or
gans like the Kreuz Zeitung,
predict the fall of Chancellor von Caprivi
to be inevitable, while the national lib
eral dailies admit that the fate of the
taxation bill is doubtful. The strength
of the government, ultimately, will rest
only on the possibility of the opposition not
agreeing on any financial policy whatever.
The army bill, having become a law,
the deputies must find the supplies and
say where the revenue can be found un
der the sources suggested in Dr. Miquel’s
scheme. No alternative plan has been even
hinted at and it will baffle the opposition
leaders to conceive anything equally dis
criminative or popularly effective.
The chances, therefore, are that after a
protracted struggle with minor conces
sions, the government will carry tho
financial measures substantially unal
tered,
THE EMPEROR ON A HUNT.
The emperor and empress passed last
week at the shooting lodge at Hubert
Usstock, about two hours by train from
Berlin.
Gen. Yon Kalternbe, war minister, Dr.
Dosse. minister of public worship, and Dr.
Miquel have gone to see the emperor,
but neither the chancellor nor the foreign
minister, Herr Yon Marchell, has been
summoned to him. The inference is that
foreign affairs are quiet.
THE TOULON PETES.
The outburst of French chauvinism,
during the Toulon reception, has been
ignored here as empty noise. The gov
ernment undoubtedly has some informa
tion, which enables it to treat the Toulon
fetes with contemptuous indifference.
The foreign office maintains silence as
to the reported new entente between
France and Russia. The correspondent
of the United Press has received from the
best sources information which enables
him to say that the conviction in the
highest quarters here is that Russia pre
fers to revive closer relations with Ger
many rather than to risk an alliance
with France.
DETROIT’S BIG BLAZE.
One Man Burned to Death—The Mone
tary Loss $300,000.
Detroit, Mich., Oct. 15.—One of the
most disastrous fires which has raged in
Detroit for many years broke out last
night at 11:30 o’clock on Chaplain street,
a whole block of business buildings on
that street between Brush and Beaubien
being completely swept away, and Har
monie hall, the scene of many political
conventions, being burned to the ground.
The fact that the great conflagration
started in a paint factory (that of Boy-
Qell Bros.) and that a fierce wind fanned
the flames and gave them every chance
of spreading, accounts for the magnitude
of the disaster and explains why the fire
men could not successfully battle with
the flames.
At 12o’cloek naptha stored 'in the Boy
dell building exploded, blowing out the,
front wall of the ruine3 structure, the
falling debris narrowly missing the as
sembled crowd of firemen and curiosity
seekers.
The principal concerns who suffered
| estimate their losses as follows: Har-
I tnonie Hall Association, loss, 182,000,
insurance, $;t24,000; Boydell Bros.,
paint factory, loss, $125,000, insurance,
$66,000; Globe Tobacco Works, loss, $75,-
000, insurance, $25,000; Eagle Paper Box
Company, loss, SIS,(XX), insurance. SIO,OOO.
The body of George Bohylein, who lost
his life in the ruins of Harmonic hali, was
recovered to-day. Several minor losses
run the aggregate up to $3000,000.
FLAMES ON A RACE TRACK.
The Fleetwood Fuck Stables Burned,
With Two Valuable Horses.
New York, Oct. 15.—A lighted match,
dropped by a careless stable boy, started
a fire in the Fleetwood Park stables to
day. Fowler's stables, on each side of
“Wall street,” were totally destroyed.
Bruce King, a valuable 2-year-old staliion,
and Jeannette, also a 2-year-old, were
burned to death. They were valued at
$15,000.
A thoroughbred, and very valuable
black stallion, was slightly burned about
the head and nock.
The fire spread to the stables owned
by J. B. Gibbs and they were partly de
stroyed. They contained twenty-four
horses, but all got out without injury.
Sixty stalls, valued at S2OO each, were
destroyed
MISTAKE OF THE SENATE.
American Securities Depressed in
England.
London, Oct. 16,3a. m.—The Times says
that the collapse of the effort to carry
the repeal bill, has again depressed
American securities, and that it is impos
sible to expect confidence to be restored
while the currency of the country is ex
posed to the working of the Sherman act.
The Times adds: “If public opinion in
America had not passed too quickly from
a pessimist to a sanguine phase, last
week's scenes in the Senate would prob
ably have never occur:- :d.” The Times
then expresses the fear that no mere
diminution in the amount of silver pur
chases will replace American credit on a
secure basis.
A NEW CHURCH JIONSECRATED.
High Dignitaries of the Catholic

New York, Oct. 15.—With the most im

crated to-day. It was the occasion of one
of tho largesijgatherings of high dignita
ries of the church that has ever come
together, including Archbishop Satolli,
the apostolic delegate, who bestowed the
benediction of the Pope.

DEACON MAY BE RECONCILED.
Rumors That He and His Wife Will
Soon Be Living Together Again.
New York, Oct. 15.—1f reports from
good social circles are to be believed,
Mrs. Edward Parker Deacon and her
husband are to become reconciled before
many days have elapsed. Mrs. Deacon
arrived from Europe some three weeks
ago. She stayed in this city but a few
days and went to Newport, where she
remained incognito for ten days. At tho
expiration of that time she went to
Orange, N. J., where she has since re
sided with friends. A reporter called at
tho house to-day and asked to see Mrs.
Deacon. The lady positively refused to
be soen to answer a question as to her
intentions.
MOST’S WIFE HAS SMALLPOX.

Riverside Hospital.
New York, Oct. 15.—. Johann Most, the
red-whiskered, fiery-eved editor of the

ject of attention from the municipal
authorities to-day. His wife, Lizzie, an
auburn-haired Hungarian of 33, had been
ill for several days and to-day the physi
cian in attendance upon her diagnosed
the case as smallpox. Mrs. Most was re
moved to the Riverside hospital.

he killed himself with the same weapon.

NOW MARKED OBSOLETE.
Words That Have Gone Out of Popu
lar Use.
From tho Philadelphia Times.
Words, like dogs and bonnets, have
their day, and when that day is past they
seem to be laid on the shelf like old
fashioned pieces of china, to be regarded
only as curiosities. The dictionary that
still keeps them in remembrance, but
marks them with the fatal “obs” (obso
lete), represents the closet shelf where
the old china is still tolerated, not for its
use or beauty, but because of its very an
tiquity. Even the presence of these
words in the dictionary does not argue
that they are known outside of it. For
only a few weeks ago an article describ
ing the old piece of embroidery known as
a sampler, the word “accend,” in the
motto, worked upon the sampler, was cor
rected by the printer to “accent.” “May
heaven accend thy words with power.”
Less than a hundred years ago accend
meant to kindle, to set on fire. Now it is
marked obsolete in the dictionary and no
new word has come to replace it. There
seems no more reason for it to be laid on
the shelf than for that little old-fash
ioned cream pitcher with its quaint r orrn
and indescribable de< oration of green
lines and purple dots that represent no
vine and flower known to botany, to be
set upon ray chimney place. It has not
outlived its usefulness just because it is
old. There are other words the diction
ary marss obsolete that are current in
old-fashioned country puces, such as out
lander, a foreigner, which, like its neigh
bor, outlandish, lias taken a meaning
slightly uncomplimentary. Aroynt. or
aroint, meaning stand back, or get be
hind, is still used by the milkmaid in
speaking to tlte cow that will not stand
in her place to be milked. “Coutrist
that fellow"' one boy says to another
who teases him. and the dictionary says
it means to make sad, but that it is obso
lete.
We should not ascribe any departure
from what we are used to either in gram
mar or pronunciation, or meaning of
words, to the ignorance or stupidity ol
the speaker It may not be bad. but only
antiquated English. Such as ourn for
ours, umbril for umbrella, afeard for
afraid, rk for risen, to ax for ask, outon
for put out or extinguish, even “put them
things away” for those things. However,
these expressions have had their day, and
are no longer good English, as they do not
conform to the present use and custom
that must be the standard in speaking
and writing. The same may bo said of
certain ways of pronouncing words now
used only by uneducated and all old-fash
ioned people.
It is easy to prove that those are not
mispronunciations, but only an old pro
nunciation retained by the people after
the educated classes had given it up. Dr.
Johnson gave the accent to the first sylla
ble in academy, like melancholy, and par
simony, with Shakespeare as his authori
ty, and Walker praises those “who
grieved to see the compound depart so
far from the sound of the simple,” with
“heroic fortitude,” have opposed the mul
titude by pronouncing the first of the
word knowledge as it is in the word to
know. He says the “pulpit and bar have
for years given a sanction to this pronun
ciation, but the Senate und tho stage hold
out inflexibly against it, and the nation
at large seems insensible to the improve
ment.” They continue even in our day
to pronounce as in the ludicrous rhyme:
Among the mighty men of knowledge
That are professors In Gresham College.
The lexicographers maybe were a little
too easy with the “nation at large” and
perhaps that was why they seemed “in
sensible to the improvement."
In southern Pennsylvania, where many
examples of metonomy have been ob
served cucumber is often replaced by the
general name of pickle, as the thrifty
gardener, anticipating the briny fate that
awaits it, designates tho vine and its
fruit.
Lantern, Dr. Johnson says, is by mistake
often written lanthorn, because tranpa
rent cases for candles were generally
made of horn and those who did not know
the derivation of the word from the Latin
lanterna we e satisfied that this was tho
true etymology. The wicker-basket-cov
ered glass jars, used by European peas
ants and sailors, were by them called
“Dame Jeanncrs.” Anglicized into demi
john and known to the colored servants
on an old southern home as the “Jimmy
John.”
Archaic is another word that in com
mon use has lost its classic pedigree, and
has degenerated into “arkey,” denoting
something very old-fashioned, with an
imaginary reference to Noah s ark. Words
spelt one way and pronounced another by
some people who are what some people
would call “heavy,” are wreck, pro
nounced wrack, which gives us “wrack
and ruin;” weapon, which they turn into
weepon, and wound, which they rhyme
with sound, following the old lexicogra
pher, who tells us “wound, woond, is a
capricious novelty,”
Another of this class of words is chap,
in some localities still pronounced chop.
Walker says the etymology of this word
will not suffer us to write it chop; and
universal usage will not permit us to
pronounce it chap. So it must be classed
among tho incorrigible words, the pro
nunciation and orthography of which
must ever be at variance. On the other
hand, the Irish are reproved by the
same authority in the year 1815. for pro
nouncing palm, balm and psalm, as if
spelled pawn, bawn and psawn, and now,
with a little less breath, that is the ac
cepted way in England and permissible in
America.
But will the day ever come when a col
lu; s i will mean, as it does in some places,
any large or remarkable kind of gather
ing, even a funeral! It is probably a cor
ruption of collision, for in the same neigh
borhood two wagons running into each
other would be called a collusion. Here,
also, they say, instead of "lighting a
lamp,” “making a candle," and anything
that burns easily is “combustions."
But tho same prophecy was once made
in regard to "clever” and “fun,” neither
of which could now be spared from the
language.

HERDS OF WILD REINDEER.
Found in a Northwestern Country
Where Sixty Degrees Below is Com
mon.
From the Chicago Herald.
A remarkable story is told by Rev. E.
C. Wallis, a missionary of the Episcopal
church, who arrived in San Francisco re
cently from the Porcupine river, in the
British possessions, Just over the line of
Alaska, on the edge of tho Rocky moun
tains. It is mainly about the intense
cold, tho immense herds of reindeer and
the sublime magnificence of tho aurora
borealis, llr. Wallis has been seven
years in the wilds of the Porcupine river,
and for the past eighteen months his wife
has been with him assisting in teaching
the Indians. It does not appear to be
? generally known that there are vast
lords of reindeer in that part of tho
country. Ur. Sheldon Jackson, superin
tendent of education for Alaska, and
Captain Healy, of the Bear, have for a
couple ot years been importing reindeer
from Siberia, and this is the reason for
the supposed scarcity throughout that
region, but the scarcity appears to be
toward the southern, southwestern and
northern coasts In the far interior
there are myriads of them.
“They are remarkably numerous every
where about my mission near the mouth
of the Porcupine river,” said the
reverend gentleman. “Back toward the
mountains from my house I have seen
great bands of them, and almost every
where I looked l could see them. This
summer when the ice broke up on the
river I remember seeing six or seven of
them on a cake of ice floating down, and
I saw many others floating on the ice.
For much of the time I have lived at the
mission I have subsisted almost exclu
sively on reindeer meat. It is very good,
and I may say it is about the only kind of
meat you don’t got tired of. 1 think It is
bettor, all things considered, than beef,
and that you can eat it longer without its
palling on you. It is a venison more than
anything else. The Indians eat it
almost exclusively, and they are big
and strong. Some of them are six feet in
bight, and the average is about five feet
ten inches. They are genuine North
American Indians, and not the Aleuts,
Eskimos, or a mixture of the two. I keep
au Indian hunter and he supplies me with
all tho reindeer meat I want. He also
brings in grouse, ducks, bear and other
game as i need it. I have learned to shoot
pretty well myself, as white men do in
that region, or anywhere contiguous to it.
The ducks and grouse, like the reindeer,
are remarkably good eating. It is fear
fully cold there. Last winter the ther
mometer was for a week at a time down
to 61°, and I have seen It go even consid
erably lower. At no time in the winter,
nor during other winters that 1 have been
there, was it higher than 40°. This cold
is excruciating. We lived in a solid log
house, a good warm one, but many a
time I have wakened in the night
aud found the blankets, which were kept
well up under the nose, frozen into a cake
of ice. Sometimes the intense cold cakes
the blankets for a long distance down.
Meats and everything froze, aud you
would throw them anywhere without
thinking. The worst experience was try
ing to make bread. The yeast would
freeze in spite of you, oftentimes even
when the greatest care was exercised. If
you stepped out everything was so still
and so intensely cold you could hoar your
self breathe. It had a rustling sound. I
discovered a queer thing about the cold,
and it was this: Below 40 degrees you
didn't notice it any more than 40. It
might go to 00, or even more, but it made
so little difference that you didn’t notice
it It was all practically the same to
yon.” ____________
