TAMING VICIOUS HOUSES.
Professor Oscar Gleason Teaches the Wicked
Equine to Ileliave Himself.
A goodly contingent of the “horsey’'
world, accompanied somewhat by its wife,
was present at the Cosmopolitan Hall,
corner of Broadway and Forty'Second street,
last night to see Professor O. R. Gleason,
the horse tamer, tackle a “man eater.”
What seats in the hall were not filled by
members of the “horsey” world were
crowded with aspirants thereto.
For the sake of the uninitiated be it un
derstood that a “man eater" of the genus
equus is a horse who has a weakness for
biting specimens of the genus homo. Un
fortunately, Mr. Gleason’s pieceile resistance
was not in his usual trim last night. lie
had only bitten one drunken Irishman in
the past week. He waa therefore consid
ered unequal to the bisk of taking munchts
at the professor in public.
However, Mr. Gleason managed to pro
vide his oatrons with an excellent exhibi
tion of what nerve, skill and patience can
do with a vicious horse. There first ap
peared in the ring a bay gelding with a bad
reputation for kicking, about 15j hands
high and weighing 1,100 pounds. It did
not take long to show the public that Prof.
Gleason’s theory is correct. Never punish
a horse unless he knows what you are pun
ishing him for, he says. He carried out his
theory, ond in about half an hour the ani
mal’s hind legs had forgotten how to let
out and he was being drawn around with a
big drum beating near his head, fiags wav-

Intere.tlng Incident..
New y'ork Time*.
St. John's, N. F., October 12.—The offi.
eers of the Anchoria ami Sit Ambrose Shea,
the agent of the Anchor Line here, have
deoided to keep the passengers on board the
Bteamer until arrangements have been made
for sending them to their destination. Tho
accommodation on the Bhip is better than
on shore, and, the market being abundantly
supplied with meat, vegetables, fruit, eto.,
at lower prices than in England, they will
be tolerably well off during their stay. The
steamer Ethiopia leaves Glasgow to-day
with a shaft for the Anchoria, and will
probably arrive here ahont the 20th. Then
repaira will be effected ns expeditiously as
possible, and the ship will proceed to New
The story of tho disaster as told by the
officers of the Anchoria shows that the pas
sengers behaved very well, and at no time
during the long period of drifting on the
ocean was there anything line a panic. Tho
awain, and six men volnnteered to man her 1
nnd try to reach this harbor, and the next
day (Saturday! a volunteer crew of passen
gers, when the ship was off Cape St. Francis,
manned a boat to board a passing schooner.
The Incidents of the cruise of both these
boats has already been told, as also the find
ing of the steamer by the tugboat Favorite,
which took her in tow and brought her
safely to anchor at 6 o’clock yesterday
morning. The Miranda, which was dis
patched on Snnday with the chief officer of
the Anchoria on board to find and tow in |
the ship, returned to port yesterday morn
ing.- The Miranda missed the Anchoria by I
keeping too far to the south.
Henderson Brothers, of the Anohor Line I
agents, said yesterday that the coasting
steamer Miranda had been chartered to con-1
vey 200 of the Anchoria’s passengors to this
port if that number should eboose to oome
on teat vessel. The Ethiopia, of the I
Anchor Line, which was to sail from Oloa-1
row to-day, had orders to call at St. John's
for the remainder. The Ethiopia will bo I
due at St John's on Ootober 20tn, and will I
•ably reaoh here two days later. A spare 1
thrust shaft for the Anchoria wonld probe-1
bly ho shipped on the Ethiopia. The An
choria will have the shaft put in at St. I
John's, and will come on to this port nnder
her own steam.
STARTLING PHENOMENA.

ing in front of him and tin kettles attach- tilth and called at Moville, which port she
ed to his tail. I left the next day. The passage from this
The Professor had more trouble with a I time up to the day of the accident—the
block, who wa9 bad to bridle and knew how 22d—was a fairly enjoyable one for the
to balk. Mr. Gleason and the balker got
together in a corral fifteen feet square. The
Professor Bhowed wonderful agility in get
ting away from the horse's hind legs, but
eventually he conquered and the black fol
lowed him as a poodle wonld its mistress.
Again tha Professor showed bow nssfnt
presence of mind is in conjunction with
absence of body while he was mastering a
sixteen hand dark bay hotBe with splendid
fore-quatters belonging to a livery stable
keeper in Thirty-second street. The horse
was a kicker, a biter and a striker when he
entered tho ring. In a few minutes he had
forgotten these arts so far aa the Professor
was concerned. His trainer said he had
been badly managed. He certainly had
been well groomed, and as he stood in the
ring, mounted by Mr. Qieason, he showed
only a little weakness in his bind-quarters
to prevent his making a capital horse for
ndmg aoross a rough country.
After the taming was over a stable hand
showed off the "bucking" mustang Danger.
Danger is said to have come from Mexi-
eo. It must be from a very honest part
of Mexico, for Danger showed no signs of
a trend. His build is mnch more of the
cobby stylo of the English polo pony than
that of the fictitious mustang of Mayne
Reid or of reality. He bucked in true
Eastern style; tint is, he never got hia bit
in his teeth, his head almost between his
forelegs, nor did his rider appear to have
the longing provided by a good Western
bneker that the Almighty had not given
him a backbone. The entertainment closed
with the exhibition of a triok horse who did
not do mnch beyond showing that he was
very, very good, whereas he had been very,
inr bad—at least so Professor Gleason said.
The show, whioh commenced at 8 o'clock
in the evening, will continue at the Cos
mopolitan Hall for three weeks.

The preparations for the dedication of
the Bartholdi statne are progressing with
mnch success. General Htoue yesterday
said that Lieutenant Millis of the engi
neer corps was preparing the neceesapr
steam power, and the American Electric
Manufacturing Company the apparatus for
the electric light.
Edwards H. G -ff, president of the Elec
trie Company, stated that there wonld be
no delay, "The apparatus will be finished
and thoroughly tested at onr works by
Monday next," ho remarked. “It will
bo on Bedloo’s Island by October 20, and
we shall have a full week to prepare for
the first exhibition on October 28. The
thorough testa which we shall give the ap
paratus in onr works, and the week of time
we shall have to make the corrections at
the statue, will leave ns very little cxenae
for not having everything in working or
der; and I am confidant the first lighting
will not only be a success, but one of the
moat beautiful illuminations ever seen.”
It is probable that the first illumination
will be st the moment of the grand salute,
which is to be fired st the conclusion of the
inauguration ceremonies. It will be sunset
when these ceremonies are conoluded, and
the effect of the lighting of the immense
torch of 30,000 candle power, the many
lamps of 6,000 candle power each, and the
numerous incandescent lamps in tho dia
dem of the statue, will doubtless be meg-
nifient aa weU aa novel.
The representatives of the allied French
societies of New York and the neighboring
towns will meet to-night at 8 o clock at
their headquarters. No. 21 South Fifth
avenne. The object of the meeting is to
devise plans for appropriate ceremonies at
the dedication of Bartholdi’i Statne of Lib

JUSTICE FIELD TALKS.
Have we no Accurst* Llkeocsite of Wash-

New York Bun.
WasntNOTON, Ootober 10.—The Supreme
Court will meet to-morrow, bnt no decis
ions will be rendered and none need bo
expooted before tha beginning of tho next
week. When tbo conrt convenes it will
!w almost immediately adjourned and tho
JusUces will go in a body to tho YVhlto
Honso to pay their respects to the Presi
dent. This ceremony dates back n cen
tury, and is one of too few formalities of
tha past that is preserved ubtatafi tal
the formation of the government.
“It was the custom In older times," said
Justice Field to-day, "for the President,
heginuiug with George Washington, to visit
the capltol in state at the opening of the
sessions of Congress, and thoro to deliver
personally to the two bouses his nunual
message. The head* of departments mods
formal calls npon each other at the begin
ning of new ndminlstraUoni, and the
court then began its practice of
vislUng the President and the Vice-
President. AU these formalities have since
terminated, with the exception of tho visit
of the judiciary. Jefferson was, I believe,
the first President who did not visit tho
espitol at the beginning of the sessions of
Congress to present hia annual messages.
Jefferson could not make a public address
ol five minutes duration, and hu determin
ed to Bend in his message in writing by a
secretary. This wss done, and since bis
time no attempt hss been made to revive
the old custom. The heads of departments
alterwarda ceased their tormal calls.
"By the way," said the Judge, "it is*
matter of surprise to me that so much has
been published about the leading men of
this eonntry that is exaggerated snd often
times absolutely untrue. For example,
there sre a great many people who believe
that when Jefferson was inaugurated Presi
dent he mounted hie horse st the White
House, rode unattended tojthe espitol, tied
hia steed to the fence and deliver bis inau
gural address. As a matter of foot, Jeffer
son wss inaugurated in much tho sain*
style *s bis predecessors, lie wss driven
from the White Honse to the espitol, at
tended by musio end soldiers, snd deliver
ed his excellent inaugural to an audience of
goodly size.
"The boats and photographs which we
see of Washington,” continned the Judge,

Sbinasdoab, Pa., October 13.—Early
