MT nin? Q i LUVfio A A SOCIETY WOMAN S STRAND FATUATION FOR A FAMOUS < Ik* Writes NIBS l.o. r Lrllr Brohea Hearted Krra- ' :ER An.l I* ' Are *> Thi* U the itory of th . iy and the a wealthy husband, .ajjd the horse is a celebrated pacer/ with a racing record of ill j. the fiafjst stallion in New York State. On hep ptrt then exist* a strange and powerfal infatuation for this beautiful animal, which ha* expressed itself in many endearing manifestations, and ha* even sjone to the) length of a love-letter written by th* lady and addressed to th* hone at hu liable. The lady who loves th* hone and who has told of her love in a nmarkabla inter* view with a reporter is Mrs. Eugene E. Smith, of Syracuse. The hone is a noble stallion, now in Rochester, and known to th* turf a* Vite lo. Mr*. Smith's affection for Vitello ha* been exhibited in many extravagant way*. She has followed him repeatedly to race- trark*. visited him at hi* stable, braided hi* hair, and was so genuinely heart-broken at the separation that the stablemen, not usually an over-sympathetic lot, shed hon- est tear*. THE ROMANCE BEOC7I. " It is a most remarkable story," said Charle* S. Upton, th* millionaire lamp manufacturer and present owner of Vitello "Five years ago, when I conceived the plan of getting together a high-class lot of pacers and trotters for breeding and c paign purposes. I went to Syracuse, which u a great horse centre, and there I heard that Eugene Smith, whom I knew well, had a veiy handsome young horse by Legal Tender, jr., dam Ruahville Maid, which he might sell. " i wa* at hi* drug store one evening when Mrs. Smith drove up with the horse. She bad her two children in the rig. The hone was certainly the handsomest animal I had ever seen. Mn. Smith herself had broken the horse to harness, made a great pet of him about the city. He wa* very gentle, and had been taught a lot of tricks. I thought that he wa* a circus bone, and gave up any idea of buying, but later through the advice of Jack Peek, offeree Smith $1,000 and a good roadster for Vitello. He wanted to make a payment on hi* house at the time, and accepted my offer. " At the time he said something abou his wife being likely to take the loss of the hone very hard, bnt 1 supposed he nferrec only to a passing fancy. I shipped th. hone to Rochester. Had I known that . was about to break the heart of a woman and to cause years of trouble for her woul<i never have offered a dollar for thi hone. THE LOVEU9 IV THE STABLE. 41 It was about this time that Mrs. Smith, knowing that she would never again own the horse, determined to see a* much of him as possible. She visited the stable a Rochester, and during the next summer, when Vitello *as on the circuit, she appear ed at the tracks, and was never so happy as when in his presence. She would pel and fondle him, the stable boys tell me. braid his h*ir, and talk to him as if he wer a human being. And they tell me that he seemed just as fond of her a* she was of him. " I met her several times at racetracks. She would come to me and say, 'Our Vitello will win to-day. I have braided his mane and had a long talk with him. I am his maaoot.' " During the pact summer Vitello ran out We*' at Cleveland, Detroit and other places and we lost signt of Mn. Smith. After the season closed she wrote a letter to the horse, addressed Vitello, oar* Upton's Stables, Rochester,' in which she promised to visit him. The boys up ar. the stable expect to have her drop in any day." A reporter want to Rochester and *aw Vitello at Mr. Upton'* bneding stable. He i* a beautiful creature with a coat the ex- act hue of a high-cla** sealskin sacque. Th* stable boys are very proud of him and never tire telling of his exploit*. But Mn Smith's infatuation for him i* something they cannot comprehend. "I just can't stand it to see them together," said ona of the boy* to the reporter. "They meet like a couple of human beings that h&* been separated for years. I don't know which is the gladdest, him or her. Once when she wa* here she sat right down on the Htraw and he lay down beside her, just as- gentle a* a lamb, and laid hi* head in her lap while she combed and braided his mane, talking to him all the tune a* if he wen a baby, I tell you what, gentlemen, I just up and cried when 1 saw them, and I wasn't the only one who cried. " Why, ever since that visit Vitello seem* to be on the lookout for her return If he hean a woman'* step or voice in the barn, he just trembles all over, and whin- nies, ami runs np to the ban of his stall and look* out, and when he see* it Un't her, he bow* his disappointment so plain that any one could see it. I believe that if Mn. Smith had the handling and driving of Vitello, that is, it such a thing were pos- sible for a woman to do, that he would go in two minutes for her, or die on the track." VITELLO'S BILLET- DO ex. The love letter which Mrs. Smith wrote to Vitello, addressed in care of Manager Fred Upton read as follow* : Syracuse, April 29, 1S94. My Darling: I shall leave here 7.-':. Wednesday morning, Watt Shore ioad,and hope to see you once again. I think of my beautiful darling so often and look at your picture do/ens of times a day, and always long for my beauty, but I know my darling Vitello will never forget me. Would you like some iug*r, darling ? A kia* for yon right on your velvet nose, and love, love a* ever. Mr/./v The Smith residence in Syracuse is located at No. 133 South Avenue, which i* one of the broadest and handsomest of f yraooae's famous shaded boulevards. It is a handsome house set back from the Mn. Smith talk* unreservedly about i'itello and was sxtremaly glad to oa '.he reporter, especially as he had just come rom the Rochester Stable. She inquired earnestly for news of her favorite ana aaid: Veil oa*M front dear Vie!!*? Yon have seen th dear old darling ' How is the dear old beauty ? Step right into th* parlor. Any one is welcome who can tell me about the dear old fellow. That is a subject that I will never grow tired of talking about. And now tell me," she wsnt on rapturously, "how is tne darling ? Isn't he grand? And he i* just as good and gentle a* he i* handsome. Did you ever in your life see a handiomer bora* ? [ envy you your good fortune, for I hav* not seen him sine* late in the spring. He Ho wa* here in Syracuse, and whan he went away te fill hi* Western engagement* you can't imagine how badly 1 felt. It waa just s* if some one of th* family were going away, perhaps never to return. I know that 1 had a good cry, and I felt a sad feeling at my heart for days. 'Do you knew that sometimes I just feel that I cannot stand it another day without going to s*e th* darling, and I am on th* point of taking th* train and running over to Rochester and speaking to deer old Don I (till called him Don. Don Juan was hi* first name, but we found that there was another hone registered by thst name, so we changed it to Vitello; out I generally call him Don, or darling. Why, he knows me as well a* any of my family, and when he hean my voice he i* almost tickled to death. He whinnies with delight and trembles all over, and rub* hi* dear old face up against mine, and I know he me* to talk. "On* day I vuitad Mr. Upton's barn at Rochester. It is a great, long place. Don was in a box-stall about midway of th* barn. I stopped to speak to Mr. Fred Upton, the stable manager. He did not remember me, and I said: 'Why, don't yonncolUct Mrs. Smith? 1 I had not spoken louder than I am talking to you, but th* dear old hone beard me, and it wa* the first time I had been near him for eight months. I heard him whinnying, and an instant later he stuck hi* dear old head over the stall ioor and called me just as [plainly as a horse could talk. I fairly new down the barn to meet him. Ha was as pleased a* I was, and he showed hu delight in every way that a horse can. VITEI.L'Vs CHRISTMAS PBE3E.1T. " I shall see the dear old fellow before Christmas. I hav* been working on a Christmas present for him for a long time, and I hav* almost ruined my *y*s over it, so that I had to quit, but I must finiah it omehow. " Mrs. Smith crossed the room and from the top of the piano took a long strip of plum-colored cloth upon which had been embroidered a wreath of flowers and the incomplete name of Vitello. This, Mrs. Smith explained, wai to be a cover for th* footboard, fit for a king of th* turf. The footboard i* a background, generally under glass, on which are displayed the quarter- I boots and other trappings used in races, I together with shoes or plates worn in a hone's most celebrated race*. Th* needle- work was most elaborate. " Vitello came to as when he was a year old,'' Mn. Smith also said. " I thought him the handsomest none I had ever set eyes upon, and I loved him from the first. He seemed to take to me, too. 1 always did like hones, and, if I do say it myaelf, there i* no belter driver of my sex m the Slate. I practically broke Vitello, and I Irove him all over Syracuse up to the day that my husband sold him to Mr. Upton " When the darling wa* sold I infrared greatly. I begged my husband to let everything else go and keep Vitello. I did not know then that it wa* a bad stroke of business to part with such a promising horse. Time has proved, however, that such was tho case, and Mr. Upton, to-day would be foolish to lake $>0,000 for him. Hi* best work is yet to be done. When I heard of hi* pacing five neat* at Fleetwood Park, all better than 2.09, 1 fairly shouted for joy, so glad wa* 1 to hear of what a great hone my pet bad become. " Again, when 1 heard of him going in 2.08 at Cleveland this fall, I was just wild with delight, and in my joy then wa* no ngnt that we had lost th* u*h value of this gnat horss. I am not so sslfish as that. I would rather that Vitello would become king of the turf and I never see him again than that he should be restored to me and end hi* career. BRAIDING HIS HAIR. "I wrote him a letter onoe," said Mr* Miuth, with a merry laugh, "but 1 did not get to see him a* I had promised. Never shall I forget th* day, here on th* .Syracuse track that he won a race in three heats. after he had broken hi* foot, and in th* fastest company of th* day. He mn*t hav* the heart of a lion to do that. I wa* hi* mascot that day, for 1 had gon* M hi* stall and braided blue ribbon* into his mane. You should see the dear fellow hold down his head a* gentle as a lamb while I braid- ed his mane and talked to him. "My husband does not look at a hone as I do. He only consider* them for trtieir blood and market value. Re, too, regrets that we ever cold Vitello, but it is because he misjudged his value and took $1,000 and an inferior horse for one of the great hones of the century. I have given up all hope of ever again owning my pet, I think that the least Mr. Upton could do would be to give me one of Vitello's eolt*. ' Mr. Charles Upton said that he would certainly * that Mrs. Smith was present- ed with a Vitello colt, although '.hey an high-priced and considered most promis- ing. HER HOUSE rOR Til* HORSE. Mn. Smith wa* asked about her havin) offered Mr. Upton 96,000 for the hone. She said that it wa* so. " It was after he had begun hi* wonderful career," she *aid, " that, filled with regnt tor hi* loss, and believing that he was destined to great work, 1 did say I would sell the house which is in my name, and giv* him th* proceed*, which would be about H..000 for the hone. Mr. Upton I do not believe took me seriously at least, he says he did not, and he refuted the offer . Mrs. Smith i* a lady of oultun and high connection, moving in the best society of Syracuse. She has two children. Her husband is a popular business man, well known in turf circle* a* a horse owner and breeder. He was formerly Treasurer of the Central New York Hone Breeders' Associa- tion.

Wl.en the atern and courageous succes- sor of the murdered President came to the Elysee, it wa* supposed that he would maintain a little better style than tha Carnot*, who wen relatively poor, had been able to do. But neither the friends nor the enemies of that wing of the Republican party to which M. Casimir-Perier belongs wen pn- pared for th* magnificence of the equipage in which he made hi* appearance at the Autumnal Grand Prix, at Longchampe, the other day. The superb eight-epiinged landau, dark blue in color, boa;-hapl, lined with oo*tliest satin, and with th* letters " R. F."

They openly accused the Presi- dent of imitating the luxury of the fallen Empire and began scornfully to point out .many resemblances between the " carriage of Casimir- Perier " and that of Napoleon III. And when the announcement was mad* that th* laudau wa* one which had belonged to the Imperial stables, and had often been used by Napoleon III. the IXDIG NATION KNKW NO BOI'MDS. Th* jealous critics who are so busy instituting comparisons between M. Oa*i- mir-Perivr's equipages and those of the Second Empin have evidently forgotten how great the luxury wa* under the regime of the " Brummagem ' Emperor. If there wa* any one picture at hi* court in which Napoleon III. took especial pride, and which he watched and supervised constantly, it was his stable. He had a veritable passion for fin* horses and car- riages. His long residence in England had Bad* him an excellent judge of horseflesh, and he wa* an accomplished cavalier. Clumsy and ungraceful in fact, he looked imposing on horseback, and nothing pleased him so much a* to show himself off before the people at a nvisw in the Boi* on a spirited borte. At no time since the reign of Louis XIV. had so much money been expended on ths tables of the sovereign as under Napoleon III. (Jen. Fleury, who was in charge lavished money on Napoleon's equine fancies, and the stable fund was one of the heaviest items in the imperial budget. It was not only the number and the beauty of th* hones, but the vast array of carriage* harness and liveries and the little army ol coachman, hostlers, postillions and footmen which astonished the visitor. Tbe president occupant of the Elysee has not one horse to Napoleon III.'* three. Tiir BMPKROR'S STABLES wen on the Quai d'Orsay, where the fin* mansion bearing the number 911 wa* in habited by Count Dtvtliier Regnault de Saint Jean d'Angely. chief groom to the Emperor, and by Uaron de Pierre*, th* Empress's chief gioom. The driven, hostlen and other employees had their families in suited in the immense buildings; and the plunder ana waste so characteristic of the Second Empire went on day and night recklessly and cheerfully. There were so many "state coachman that is, men capable of driving team* of ight horse*, with th* hnge rumbling coaches used on ceremonial days that when all th* sovereigns of th* Continent cam* up to the Kxpoaition of 1867 there were two coachmen apiece for them. The Emperor and Ktnpress usually went out in a great carriage suspended lightly on sight springs. The bodies and the wheels of these vehicle* were painted in green, with vermillion gilding. The im penal crown and monogram interlaced wen on the panel*. Two footmin in green and gold livery stood on a little platform behind, ready to jump down and lower the steps, which were folded back into the green leather- lined interior. THE POHTILIOSS of the imperial days were dressed in white breeches and boots of stiff leather, tunica of green velvet, each having three rows of golden buttons, and cords and fringe* of gold: cap* with bands of gold and capes richly embroidered. These postilion*, all bnys between fifteen and sixteen years old, underwent a training which enabled them to drive with marvel lous skill. It i* a curious fact that whenever th* Emperor and Emprats went out together their carriage was always followed by another exactly like it, even to the small est detail. This i* supposed to have been a prudential measure, and in case carriage No. 1 had broken down it certainly woulii hav* been handy to have the second near by. THE "IMPERIAL POST" alone probably cost more than M. and Mm*. Casimir-Perier expend for their own ac- count and that of the nation on their stable* very year. Whenever the court moved from one palace to another, or whenever it was resident outside of Paris, this old-f**hioned post to and from th* capital was kept up exactly as in the times before railroad* were invented. One hundred and fifty of the very best post hone* were devoted to thi* service, and all th* po*itilions were riohly dremed in jockey caps, with powdered wig*, green leather breeches and tunic* embroidered in gold. When the "Third Republic" goes in for extravagance of that kind th* Radi- icals may rage to their hearts' content. Th* Emperor Napoleon III. wa* vary fond of driving himself in a phaeton. But toward* the close of his reign it became dangerous for him to go out without an escort which would hav* looked absurd if accompanying The Empress hai a vehicle which she called her "wall-colored carriage." It was a huge landau, brown in color, and lined With gray English cloth. When she order- ed tan carriage it was well understood that she wa* going "incognito," upon a round of charitable visit*. It is said that the first criticisms of the President's unwonted splendor were caused by a departure from the accustomed eti- quette 10 the tribunes at th race- track the other day. Both in going out and coming home tnere was more of the stale which surrounds a king's progress than ha* been uuu.l in France under the Republic. Th* wive* of the Cabmot members follow- ed Mme. C'asimir-Perier like a kind of suite to her oarriags after the races, while other ladies were kept at a distance. Hence rage and some spiteful remarks. The question of "Canmir's carriage" may yet come before the Chamber ol Deputies. Her Answer to the Bishop. The late Metropolitan of Canada, the venerable Bishop Medley, nrver wearied of telling the expeiiences of his early yean of service. In those days the roads were in a very primitive condition and the country sparsely populated, rendering the journey from one backwoods settlement to another an unpleasant no: to say danger ous undertaking. The Bishop, however, made periodical visits to the most outlyiug parishes of his diooeee in all seasons, and in the most in- clement weather. On one occasion, a violent storm being in progress, be was compelled to halt for tne night at a log cabin by the roadside. A rough but hearty welcome was aooord- ed. him by the inhabitant*, to whom he i unknown. The man of the house at once busied himself with th* care of the lorses, while the woman set about the )reparation of the evening meal. As the iiishop sat comfortably by the fire, his first thoughts were of his mission to that lonely neighborhood. ' My good woman," raid he. " an then any Episcopalians in this vicinity?" " I hardly know.sir,*' she replied, hesitat- ngly: " the men did kill something under he barn yesterday, but whether it wa* one of them thing* or not I cannot say or certain." Visiting- Niagara Falls. Speculation u often heard as to the num- ber of visitors to Niagara tall*. Some ight is thrown on the subject by th* return* of the electric road running along the Canadian bank tram Queenstown to 'hippewa, through Victoria Park. It appears that the travel for the seaaon up to November reached about 467,000 pas- sengers. Thu road skirls the river all th* way within a few feet of the edge ot the oluff, and is operated by the water power of the great Hone Shoe r'all, th* genera- tots being driven by turbines which receive water through a canal just above the fall and discharg) under the veil of tu milling foam and spray. Th* plant is of 3UO horse- power. It wa* th* tint large utilizttion of th* energy of Niagara, and it is now proposed to parallel the road with another in the United Stales which shall have the peculiar attractiveness of running out on brackets at the foot of the cliff, and will thus put ihe lourist right over the boiling avesof th* \\hirlpool Rapid*. If 100.- 000 horse-power is taken from Niagara for all classes of work, it is estimated that th* withdrawal of the water from it* natural channxl will make a difference of but I or i inches in ths thick green sheet falling over the Horseshoe.

If to these are added th* large number of abandoned claims, many of which, if reopened, would yield important returns even greater in some case* than those now in course of development the total would reach, ac- cording to our chief informant," incredible figures," while new mines an being dis- covered day by day. Tbe total amount invested in the silver mine* of Mexico i* rough tly estimated at 100,UOO,000, of which not more than one- eighth i* American capital, while only an amount equal to one-third of the latter, 01 ltf,.~>00,OUO, is British capital The annua yield of Mexican silver and gold collectively a set down at about S,AOC,000.

Meant for The Minister. A popular minister in Fifeshin, in the good old times, used at Christmas to be inundated with hampers filled with good things. On one occasion an enormous turkey was sent to him by the thoughtful kindness of a neighboring farmer ; but a* the minuter'* family had already provided for the Christina* dinner, the bird wa* sent to the market and sold. A passer-by, seeing this fine specimen of poultry, said, " What a splendid turkey ! Just the thing for the minuter'* Christmas dinner !" To th* minister it wa* again sent. The provident wife s*nt it again to the mar Hot, and sold it again for a haodsom* sum. Another friend, similarly (truck with the splendid proportions of the turkey, pur- chased it, and sent it to the minister. The good woman, not wishing to fly in th* fao* of Providence, laid at last : " It I* clear that the Lord mean* a* to hav* thi* turkey," and with the approba- tion of th* family, it formed part of the Christmas dinner.

Tbe modern world n deoiiledly skeptic- al, an.t ID trie case of cure* by advertised medicines, it is sometime* remarked that they occur at long distances. Roamtly. however, the Trioune wa* told that a Winnipeg gentleman had paased through an experience a* remarkable ai any of ihote publuhexl, and inquiry into the mat- ter rsvealed the fact that eeveral promm- ent citizens ot Winnipeg had been greatly benefited by the UM of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. One of theee citizen* n Mr. W. A. Charlesworth, the well known con- tractor, who during hi* residence in Winnipeg ha* added to the beauty and wealth of the Prairie Capital by erect- ing some of its finest and most substan- tial building*. Naturally what Mr. i harleworth would say as to the meriU of a medical preparation would be read with interest by the many citizens who have met him in buuneaa and socially, and a Tribune reporter Wai detailed to get from him soinr particular* in the matter. Mr. Charleeworth was seen at his beautiful and oozy home on William street, a few days since, and while unwilling to attract publicity, yet, for the benefit of those suffering as he once wss he consented to Hive a simple statement of his case. About thirteen yean ago, while living in the southern part of Illinois, near Cairo, he had, severs,! attaoki of malarial fever an.t ague, which left his blood poor and thin, and so deranged his system that for about ten years after he was a sufferer from chronic indigestion. He came north after residing there for some years in order to try ana shake off the effect* ol the malaria, bnt without much success. He has not had. while in the north, another real attack of ague, but every season he has had incipient attack*, which were only warded off by the prompt use of quinine. Bilious fever also threatened in the same way. He also suffered severely from indigestion. Determining to make a decided effort to get rid of his complica- tion of disorder* he began in the fall of 1891 to use Dr. Williams' Pink PilU, the advertisement* of which he had read in the newspaper*. Mr. Charlaeworth began to use the pill* in October, and for the first month scarcely felt any improvement. However, from that time on improvement was rapid and the effect marvellous. I he cold of the winter of 1H9I-2. a* will be re- membered, wa* intense, and yet so great was the toning np of the system and the enrichment of the blood, that he scarcely felt the cold at all that winter. His indi- gestion wa* removed, and *ince that time he has not had another attack of malaria fever He continued taking the pills up to about the middle of January. In closing his interview Mr. Oharlseworth said "However, do not rely upon my authority alone, bnt see Mr. Fairchild, who mi used the pals." The Mr. Fairchild, itis needles* tj say. is Mr. r'ilrchilil, the largest dealer in veh- icle* and farm machinery in western Can- ada. Mr. Kairohild'i name is too well known to readers of the Triliune to need any further introduction. He was also seen and fully continue*! what Mr. Charlee- wonh said. Some time ago Mr. Fairchild suffered from nervous prostration brought on by overwork, and suffered also from a dull pain in the back of the head. After spending sum* time at s famous Chicago sanitarium he was advised to take some- thing to build np hn blood, the doctor*) mentioning Pink Pills in their list of thing* advised. At first he took a fluid prepara- atioo, bnt a* he found this unhandy to take with him as he travelled, he decided to try Pink Pill*, a* Mr. Charlesworth had very strongly recommended them. He found great benefit from their use and con- tinued taking them until reetoredto health. He has no hesitation in recommending them as a great builder up and purifier of the blood.
