Order to Pass Botrns Checks.
\cw York, Aug. I#—The arrest of
jj'raee D. Baker, alias a dozen other
names, at South Vineland, N. J., Tues
liav. on a charge of forgery, is an im
portant one, and will probably put a stop
to his operations for a while The pris
ca<r s right name is Kobert E. Hawey. J
gome time in the eighties. he
[ s said to have served a
term of imprisonment in the California
state prison, after which he went to
Montana and from there to Topeka. Kan.,
Vhere, under the name of Kobert H. Al
exander. he claimed to be engaged by the
publishing bouse of Hand. McNally ,V Cos.
of Chicago. Here he connected himself
w jil, the order of Good Templars,
Young Men's Christian Association
an j other religious and charitable
organizations, and. it is said,
married the daughter of a very respecta
ble family. His criminal o|>erations ex
tended over several western states, nota

prisonment. After his release he contin
ued his criminal career, committing
forgeries in Elmira, Cleveland, Chicago
and several other places.
now he Worked his game.
He usually prepared for his forgeries
by entering into correspondence with
s unt minister or oftieer of some religious
organization in the city where he. pre
ssed to operate. Ho then followed up
this correspondence with a visit. He is
well versed in the ritual of the
order of Good Templars, under
stands the Bible thoroughly, is well
aci|uainted with Christian Endeavor
work, conversant with books and authors,
and the apparent sincerity of his ad
dresses and prayers at religious meetings
always brought him hosts of friends,
fiout whom he soon picked out some ouo
to introduce him to the bank he proposed
to swindle. Ho then deposited a small
amount, and for a short time
kept a running bank account and
dually deposited a forged draft against
which he would draw and then disappear.
The prisoner is wanted by the police
throughout the United States and already
requisitions are being prepared for him
in several states, including Maryland and
Massachusetts.
SPECULATION IN SUGAR.
The Report of the Senate Committee
Looked for To-day.
Washington. Aug. I.—lt is probable
that the select committee of the Senate
appointed to investigate the doings of the
sugar trust in connection with the forma
tion of the tariff bill, will make its report
to the Senate to-morrow. The committee
was in executive session to-day consider
ing the question of a report, and the pub
lication of the testimony taken
on the latest phase of the
case the alleged charges against
Senator Camden charging him
with having speculated in sugar cer
tificates. It is understood to night that
upon this part of the investigation the
committee will be quito unanimous and
that they will at least suggest that Mr.
Camden has conducted his business
affairs in this matter in such a way that
there was some ground for the newspaper
publications.
Upon the other matters at issue, the
part the sugar trust played in the whole
business, there will ho a divergence of
views, and the republicans w ill take the
ground that the trust probably exerted
ati undue influence in the foundation of
the sugar schedule, and had some power
ful friends at court when the sugar ques
tion came up for consideration.
The printed testimony, which will be
given out with the report, contains little
of general interest that has not been pub
lished heretofore.

RUNS OF THE RACERS.
The Talent Disappointed by the Fa
vorites at Brighton Beach.
Race Track. Brighton Beach, Aug. 1.
The regular crowd was on hand to-day,
and the taient felt sure they would have
no trouble in picking the winners, as the
blue pencil had done some effective work,
but to their sorrow favorite after favorite
finished second, or third, or even in the
* fa *thful plunged heavily on
K ildeer tn the first race. as though it were
all over, except the shouting. Jodan had
a few friends, too, and the race resulted
in one of tho prettiest finishes of tho
meeting.
The talent fared no better In the sec
ond race. Their selection was Black
Hawk. He made a bid for victory, but
the moment he found himself pinched by
Golden Valley, a ten to one shot, he gave
up iguominiously.
VV hat promised to be a grand featureof
the day’ was the handicap race. On ac
count of the scratching tho race was
practically a foregone conclusion. Sirocco
led from flag fall to finish, and won driv
ing by a length. Hugh Penny ran second
nil the way and Panway finished in tho
ruck without having been in the hunt.
The other horses that carried off honors
to-day were King Gold, a b to 1 shot, in
the third event, George Dixon, in tlie
fifth, and St. Anthony' in the sixth.

AT SARATOGA.
Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. I.—Ono solitary
favorite got past the judges’ stand first
to-day. That was in tho fifth race, when
VVah Jim kept faith with his followers.
Tho other races were chiefly remarkable
for upsets.
The attendance to-day was good,
although there seems to be considerable
grumbling at tho hour at which the races
begin. The track was dry and fast.
The talent were in hard luck from the
very outset to-day. Banquet, who had
been looked upon as the surest kind
of thing in the first race, was badly
pocketed in the stretch, and failing to
get out, was beaten by both Merry Mon
arch and Kel El Santa Anita. Gen. Hur
lingham, who-had been made second choice
failed to be placed.
Galilee was installed favorite in the
second, largely owing to a tip given out
early in the day by Doc Street Galilee,
however, came in next to lust, Iveuti
gerna getting the larger portion of the
money, with Ducat in second place.
In the third Tom Skidmore, whose run
ning at Brighton Beach was of a high
caliber, was made second choice in the
ring to Clementine, but he won handily
by a length and a half from the latter,
who beat Liselg three and a half lengths
for the place. Roundelay got the best of
a poor send off, beating the flag a couple
of lengths, and with this advantage
managed to win from Campaniiia.
The fifth, five furlongs, was Walt Jim’s
race and he won it from post to finish.
Luster was second throughout.
The sixth was over the hurdles, and
Japouica. at 10 to 1, led all the way. Mar
cus was second. Prize fell before the
race was half over, but the accident was
not serious.

HIS LAST CIGAR.
The Captain of a Steamer Falla Over
board While Smoking and Is Drowned.
Baltimore, Aug. I.—Capt. James AV.
Graham of tho Johnston 'line steamer
Cultnere was drowned at an early hour
this morning in the lower Patapsco river.
He left the bridge at 10:40 o'clock and in
structed Chief Officer AViiliam Tate and
Pilot Sh innock to send to his room and
call him when the Culmere entered the
Craighill channel. This was the last
time he was seen alive. About
2:30 o’clock the Culmere passed into
the channel, and the officers ou
the bridge sent below for Capt. Graham.
The report came back that he could not
be found. All bands were summoned on
deck and the steamer was searchod thor
oughly, but the master was not on board.
Exactly how he weut overboard is a mat
ter of conjecture among the crew, but the
general opinion is that lie was sitting on
the rail enjoying a smoke and lost his
balance.”
A Card From Solicitor Thomas.
Atlanta, Ga., July 31.—Editor Morning
News: My attention has just been called
to the following dispatch from Atlanta to
your paper of the 19th of June last. Tho
reason why I did not see it is, I do not
take your paper. The same dispatch ap
peared in the Macon E\-ening News and
Augusta Herald of tho same date, to both
of which papers I wrote a card denying it
and giving the true facts iu the case.
The card is as follows:
“Atlanta, Ga , June 19. Yesterday's
issue of the Journal contained some stric
tures on the city court which wore not
relished by the officers of that body. This
morning Alex Bealer, a Journal reporter,
was talking over tho matter with Solic
itor Lewis Thomas, in the latter's office.
“The argument grew hot and the He was
passed, whereupon Mr. Bealer knocked
the solicitor down and mounted him. The
journalist did not allow the lawyer to get
up until ho had yelled for the jiolice aud
finally apologized for the remark.”
i desire to say that the above dispatch
is absolutely false. The facts are these:
Several days ago the Journal contained
what purported to be an interview with
a sergeant of police of the city, which in
terview contained lauguage reflecting on
the court of which I am solicitor. As
soon as I read it I saw the sergeant
and asked him if be used any such
language about the court to the Journal
reporter. He said he did not and gave me
a written denial of such language, which
was published in the Journal of June 19.
I immediately went to the Journal office,
and found out that tlie name of the re
porter was Alex Bealer. I immediately
set out to hunt him, and finally found
him on the saute floor of my office, i
asked him in my office, and when we got
in I showed him the piece in the Journal,
and told him of tho officer’s denial, when
he intimated that the language was true.
As soon as he said this I told him that he
had lied on me and the court, and at the
same time I struck him two blows in the
face, when we clinched. We fought for
several minutes, when the fight was
ended by his leaving the office. There
was no one present. No one ever heard
or saw the fight. So one can
readily see from whom such
a dispatch emanated. There has been no
account of the difficulty in the Journal or
Constitution, and only a very meager re
port of the affair in the Commercial,
which is entirely different from that sent
out of Atlanta. If Bealer triumphed so
mightily, why did he not report it to his
own paper and the Constitution? Why
attempt to assassinate my reputation by
sending an untrue statement of the affair
to other papers, where, perhaps, I would
never see it’ It was only by accident that
I found out on yesterday, through a friend,
that such a dispatch was sent to your
paper. By publishing this letter from me
you will bring me iu due obligations.
Lewis W. Thomas,
CALVE’S LOVER.
The Fiery Singer Is as Passionate as
Santuzza.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Emma Calve is again at home across
Atlantic and “at home” to Emma Calve,
the great singing actress, is to bask in
the love of Henri Cain, a promising young
painter of Paris, who, although he is not
the only one, he is at least the last one
that Emma has favored with her adora
tions. She met Cain a short time before
her trip to America, and immediately be
came infatuated with him. He is not a
remarkable young man, but is talented
and ready witted. He has exhibited in
the New and Old Salons with no marked
success, but his libretto for Massenet’s
“La Navarraise,” the 50-minute opera,
which Calve is now singing with much
success in London, is clever.
While the fair singer had New York
at her feet, last winter, and all the chap
pies went wild over her Santuzza, Calve
did not forget her Henri, but, if the New
York Recorder is to be believed, sent
phonographic messages to him by each
steamer. But Henri was fickle, and it is
said that the devotion was nearly all on
her side, as the following story will bear
witness:
A friend of Catve’s was suddenly in
vaded in iter apartments one afternoon a
year ago by the singer, who strode up
and down lilfe a crazy creature. In agi
tated accents, between sobs, she told her
friend hor story. “Look!” she oxclaimed.
“Volla!” and she tore open her dress in
front. “See, he struck me and called mo
vile names. I will kill him. The breast,
oh, the breast!” Then her friend pacified
her und i- was decided that she should
separate from him then and there.
But about 5 o’clock sbe began to pace
the apartment like a caged hvena.
Finally, after being questioned, she hurst
out in an uncontrollable access of an
guish: -“But it is nearly 6 o’clock. M.v
God, he will find no lights, no fire, when
he comes home! I can stand it no longer.
M.v poor boy, he will be all alone!” And
then she rushed away from her friends,
huried herself into a fiacre, drove homo,
and, bursting into her apartment, she pre
ci pita ted herself at his feet, crying aloud:
"b orgive mo, beat me, kill me, if you
will, but do not send me away again.”
This story has brought to the memory
of those who knew her history several
other like events. Among the first lovo
opisodes of her life was that with Mas
cagni. which happened some years ago.
He was a poor, but promising, young
composer, with good recommendations,
but no patronage. She toofc him uuder
her wing, but nt this time Sonzogno, the
great music publisher, came on the scene
ant] was dazzled by her wonderful eyes.
But Mascaxni was in the way. Son
zogno was a Milanese publisher of great i
wealth, and the rest was easy.
The prize, a bit of bait, was offered for
the best one-aet opera by the wily Sou
zoguo, Mascagni was ready. His “Cav
alieria Kusticana” was finished with sus
picious celerity.
However, to make a short story very
long, tho opera was finished, and won
tho prize, and was produced, and Calve
got the part of her life. But it was fol
lowed by a severance of all ties with Mas
cagni, while Sonzogno installed her in a
villa, and her fame soon began to spread.
But Calve was fickle. When sbe went
up to Baris she was a lyric candle, about
which furiously novered many sitiged
masculine moths. She kept her bead,
however, and mighty was the lucre she
raked in while on high shone the sun of
popular favor. She is not a great singer,
nor vet a great actress, but sbo is a rare
combination a singing actress. Svn
zegnu forced her nightly to study Duse
and her -methods. Cairo followed her
about from place to place, and appropri
ated and assimilated her manner,

There w< re what might be called twenty
three rainy days during the month.
While the rainfall was away above the

July is 82°. Last month it was 79°. Tlie
highest that mercury went was 94°. The
total deficiency in temperature for the

slight excess of 13° for tho year so far.
The mean temperature for July for tlie
last twenty-four years, taken from the
weather bureau records, is as follows:

NO WORK ON THE TRUCK FARMS.
The Rains Have Brought Everything
to a Standstill.
The heavy rains Rave almost efltirely
shut off work on the truck farms. The
ground is completely saturated with
Avater, but strange to say, the summer
crops, such as corn, sugar cane, sweet
potatoes, hay, etc., arc standing it remark
ably well, presumably on account of tho
very cool weather prevailing lor this sea
son of the year.
Whatever of small seeds were planted
are a total loss, but fortunately very lit
tle if any of the fall crop, Irish potatoes,
beans, cabbage, turnips, beets, etc., has
been planted yet.
Should the rain hold up now so as to
; give the ground a couple of weeks to dry
1 off and harden up by Aug. 15,- the farm
ers will still have time to put in the fall
crop.

turn to Its mother. Judge Parker decided
in a novel manner. He had the child
stationed in the center of the room, and
then the mother and father were placed
on either side. At a signal the child was
told to go to the one she loved bt at Moth
mother and father stretched out their
arms toward the child and called to her
in endearing terms. The girl hesitated a
moment and then ran to her mother, who
nearly fainted with Joy. Chestnut left
tho court room Judge Parker then is
sued an absolute divorce to Mrs Chest
nut. und ordered tho child delivered to
its mother, subject to the orders of the
court.

TO INVESTIGATE IT.
A Charge That a Well-known Dentist
is Practicing Without a License.
A well-known dentist, the vice presi
d nt of the Georgia Dental Association,
went to tho office of the solicitor general
yesterday and made the charge tin * Dr.
,(. B Kswson, Jr., is practicing without a
license from the slate examining board,
which, under the law of 188 ft, is required
of all dentists whether they are in
structed in Georgia colleges or
others. This law, however, when passed
excepted all the dentists who have been
practicing in the stnte since 187a, and it
is understood that I)r. Rawson’s claim is
that he falls within that provision. The
complainant in the case, however states
that Dr. Kswson has been twice before
the examining board and has failed both
times. Ho says he will take the matter
before the grand Jury of the city court
to-morrow.
