such a line of action and ultimately
Ford returned to the policy adopted by
Sbrnell's followers and now honestly ad

The witness said that he, himself, was

it was an immoral and unmanly stylo of

was n reasonable cbm o»of success. The

POINTS ABOUT HEAD AND NECK.
The head should be set upon tho neck
at an tnelo of about ono hundred
degrees, if at a smaller angle, or a
greater, the hone does not carry it well.
A high crest is almost objectionable, and
*so Is a ewe neck—that is, a straight heck-
inclining upward, but tho latter b the
less evil of tho two. The neck should
be strong and muscular, to sustain the
weight of the head. In racing the neck
tires first. It should not bo too long,
and the hand should fool it Arm and
substantial under tho mane, which
should be thin and silky, while tho tail
must be strong and thick.
"Thin mane, thick tail, broad but
tocks, tender hide" is tho rule. The first
two and the last two are most important
requisites in a thoroughbred. 1 could
name a very expensive 2-year-old now
in training which will never be a great
horse, because he b deficient in tho
third of these requirements. The neck
should merge gradually into the shoulder,
showing no very marked junction, and
its length should appear rather above
than below.
The general line of the leg should fall
straight to tho ground, and tho toe and
tho point of the shoulder should bo in
tho same perpendicular or nearly so.
Standing in front cf the colt, the out
line, from tho wither to the bottom of
the chest should appear like a flattened
oval, smaller at tho withers, and narrow
compared with that of a horse used for
any other purpose but racing. If the
chest b too wide the forelegs will be
wide apart and the space between the
legs too great. Thb is the greeted fault
a Horae Intended for racing ran have.
I have seldom seen suen a horse
that coi 11 race at all and never one that
could *tay. The space between the fore
legs should be small and the feet close
together, an inch cr two apart. The
chest should be deep. A deep aud nar
row chest is capable of greater expansion
in response to the action of the lungs
than a round one. The elbow should
neither bo turned in nor turned out, for
in the former case it comes in contact
with the ril s and impedes the action of
the limb, and in the latter the feet are
turned in. a very serious fault and one
which invariably diminishes the hone's

WHY A SAN FRANCISCO UNDERTAKER

San Francisco, July 8.—Ono of the
oldest undertakers In Saa Francisco,
formerly a member of t’.ieilrmof Cowen,

reporter that he would not exchange oc

Continuing, the undertaker said:

Dr. Theodore A. Wadsworth of No. 159
West Thirty-fourth street, yesterday re
ceived the fdgnol'and formal order of the
courts giving him an nloolute divorce
from his wife, Elizabeth G. Wadsworth.
Dr. Wadsworth is a well-known man
and possessed of means. llU wife was

haps, 35 years of nge, and quoting the
language of William P. Buir, counsel
for the doctor, “of charming manners,

Given, even this day, decent wearing ap
parel, and freed from vicious habits, she
might be an adornment to a home. Her
downfall is due to opium. Sho is an
opium-user of tho worst kind,"
The story of the trouble which led to
the suit for the divorce is told in the
legal papers filedand tlio testimony taken
before lteferee Langbein is as follows:
On May 5, 1875, the couple wore married
in the City of Brooklyn. Her maiden
name was Wilbur, and she lived in From-
ington, Masjq, where her father was a
wealthy shipowner. At the age of 1G
years sno was married to a man named
Edmunds, who died shortly after. This
fact, liowovcr, Mr. Burr-ays was uut dis
covered until long afterward. The
doctor and his. wife lived liappily for
three years, when ho made the discovery
that she was addicted to the iu»o of opi
um. Dreading publicity, ho remained
with her for two ycarsvudcavoringto re
form her. They moved iu the first circle
of Brooklyn society, and were welcome
wherever thoy went. Hence tho doctor's
aversion to creating scandal by leaving
her. Finding, however, that she btill
persisted iu tho use of the drug, ho diu
within uyon/lio would again live with
hor. Ho ga* © her the house in which
they lived and tho furniture in it.

not long before she began to squander
the money. Boon she sold the house and

fiend. All tills time she was writing the
doctor that she wai earnestly trying to
shake olf the opium liable In one letter
she said:
••I ask ten thousand times that you

would certainly feel that L : had done

Cameron’s Pawrcr,
From ths New York Hrrald.
In the whole of 3Ir. Cameron's Career
there is nothing so striking as the power
be wielded as a political leader or party
manager. In Pennsylvania politics it
wa* the mi{ht of a dynasty. It placed
the son in tlio sora'orial seat of the
father. It was felt also in national af-
affaln. It ha* hardly a parallel in Amer
ican politic* save tbq ;x>wer once

Many of the best known young men,
