WHEN THE CAMELS WERE HERE

Queer Importation Once
Made at Port of
Galveston.
In 1853 a member of congress now for-
gotten, noting the great usefulness of the
camel to the French in Algiers and the
British in the Far East in their operations
against semi-civilized tribes, introduced a
bill appropriating $30,000 “for the purchase
and importation of camels with a view to
experiments looking to the use of that
animal as an aid to army transportation.”
■The object sought was a successful means
of transportation across the “great Amer-
ican desert,” from Northern Texas through
New Mexico, Arizona and California. Emi-
gration to California called for constant
movement of troops to and from Califor-
nia, and the long desert stretches, com-
bined with danger of attack by nomadic
tribes of Indians, made this journey one
of immense difficulty. Horses and mules
"gave out” easily., and it looked as if there
■were no solution of the transportation
problem until this unknown congressional
genius hit upon the camel. Congress
passed the bill.
The contract to supply the beasts was
awarded to Mrs. Watson of Baltimore, and
some 200 camels were purchased In Egypt
and shipped from Alexandria to Galveston,
where arrived on a small bark and
brig, and were landed at the old “Parson’s
Wharf” just east of what is now pier 21
!n 1857. The animals were accompanied by
a number of native drivers, and for a while
were kept in a large enclosure near the
present residence of Col. W. L. Moody on
Tremont street, then all vacant ground.
The beasts were quite a novelty and the
boys had fine times riding them until one
or two of them received vicious bites from
the “ships of the desert.” The camels
were then sent to ex-Gox. Lubbock’s
ranch near Houston, and were finally for-
warded to their destination at Camp Ver-
di in Western Texas.
Congress took great interest in the pro-
ject. Secretary Davis forwarded to the
senate an optimistic report which made a
volume of 300 pages, with illustrations.
The camels were to increase and multiply,
and regular caravans were to be establish-
ed between Texas and California, going
through the Staked Plains with as little
discomfort as a passenger train now runs
through the Bad Lands.
But there is a difference between the
Sahara and the great American desert.
The camel’s feet were soft pads., accustom-
ed to yielding sands. They were cut to rib-
bons on the rock-strewn mountain trails of
the west and in the lava scoria that was
mixed with the desert sands. One journey
was enough to show that camels were
a failure. They hobbled into camp a sorry
looking spectacle, and some of them had
to be shot to relieve them of their suffer-
ings. The abused army mule and the
ungainly Texas mustang were couriers of
light compared with the huge beasts that
were supposed to carry three days’ extra
supply of water in thejr superfluous tanks.
The army officers reluctantly descended
from their howdahs and mounted the dusty
mules. The camels ate as much as three
or four mules and the ration bills of the
army took on an alarming size. Finally
the camels were turned out on the cactus
deserts in Arizona and Southern Califor-
nia and left to shift for themselves.
As soon as the camels were freed from
their loads they found soft ground along
water holes and thrived. Their numbers
rapidly increased. Goldseekers on the way
to California had their pack animals stam-
peded by the yellow* humpbacked beasts,
and rifles began to pop. The camels took
to the wild parts of the desert and were
pursued by the Indians, who took as kindly
to a humpsteak as to the customary dish
of stewed coyote and fricasseed Gila mon-
sters. So the herds were exterminated.
Life in the woolly west was too strenuous
for the Oriental beasts. Occasionally a
camel is still to be seen in the yellow coun-
try stretching back from the Colorado riv-
er in western Arizona, but he humps him-
self whenever a Mojave or Chimehuevi
heaves in sight.

MONKEY IMITATES THE COOK.
It is a well known fact that the monkey
is possessed of more powers of imitation
than any other animal and many are the
stories told of the little fellows by their
keepers with the shows and Zoo gardens
where they find homes. Not long ago a
huge Baboon, Dina, a favored performer
with a traveling show, was taken from her
cage and fastened near the cook-house of
the show. The cook was busily engaged
in picking chickens for the noonday meal
and Dina was observed to watch the
chef with more than passing interest. Also
among the members of the troupe were
several game cocks used in an act with
the show, and when the tents were pitched
they roamed at will. As the men were
sitting down to dinner a chicken squawk-
ing in the menagerie tent attracted atten-
tion, and upon investigation Dina was
found busily engaged in picking the feath-
ers from one of the roosters. She had
caught the unfortunate chicken and with-
out the ceremony of removing his head
was rapidly preparing him for the pot.
Dina possesses a remarkable faculty of
imitation, and the fact has made her a
valuable member of the Floto Shows,
which exhibit here April 13-14.
CAPT. DELANEY DEAD
Chief Custom House Inspector
Passes Away After Long Illness.
MANY YEARS IN THE SERVICE
Rose By Degrees From Boatman to
Chief Inspector — An Efficient
Government Officer.
Capt. John Delaney, for a number of
years chief inspector and. boarding offi-
cer of the customs service, died at his
residence, 2102 avenue M, at 5 o’clock yes-
terday afternoon after a lingering illness.
The funeral will occur at 4 o’clock this
afternoon and the interment will take
place in the old Catholic cemetery. The
services will be conducted by Rev. James
M. Kirwin, rector of St. Mary’s cathedral.
Honorary pa.ll bearers! Frank L. Lee,
collector of customs; A. J. Rosenthal,
deputy collector; Thomas H. Sweeney,
harbor master; Charles Fowler of the
firm of Fowlei’ & McVitie, Joseph Clarke
of the firm of Wm. Parr & Co., J. H.
Hawley, agent of the International and
Great Northern railroad; Louis Gottheil
of the firm of Newson & Gottheil, a.nd W.
E. Evans, chief clerk in the custom house.
Active pall bearers: William B. Shear-
er, boarding officer customs service; Ben
C, Hill, deputy clerk United States cus-
tom house; Samuel A. Maverick, William
Selkirk, James B. Doxan and Louis Hube’e
of the customs service.
The flags on the custom house and on
the barge office were pla.ced at half mast
out of respect to the memory of the de-
ceased officer, and Capt. Jacob of the
British steamer Iran, wMch came into
port early in the mormng, placed his
colors at half mast immediately upon
learning of Capt. Delaney’s death.
John Delaney was born in New York
in 1844, and consequently was 59 years of
age at the time of his death. His early
education was received in the public
schools of his na.tive city, but when quite
a youth he shipped on a whaling vessel
and proceeded on a four years’ cruise on
the Pacific ocean. Returning to the states
at the commencement of the civil war he
entered the transport service of the United
States government. He came to Texas in
1865-1866 and for a, time worked as fireman
on a locomotive on the old Houston and
Texas Central railway. Coming to Gal-
veiston in 1866, he was in the employ of
Lieut. Garretson, the post quartermaster
at Galveston.
He entered the United States customs
service in 1870, being made captain of the
sailboat (the old sloop Florence) then, used
to board incoming foreign vessels in the
outer roadstead. He was afterward made
aapt'ain of the night watch, then day in-
spector, a.nd finally promoted to chief in-
spector and boarding officer, serving un-
der Collectors Patten, Pease, Shields,
Malloy, Finlay and Lee.
Capt. Delaney was among the many suf-
ferers by the hurricane visiting Galveston
on Sept. 8, 1900, when his w'fe and one
son were drowned, and all his prop-
erty, the accumulation of years, was de-
stroyed.- He underwent an experience
upon that occasion from which he never
fully recovered, and from that date his
health has been gradually failing.
He wa.s a man of fine character and
many noble trait® and as true to his
friends as the needle is to the pole. In
his death the government loses a valued
servant and the community a good citi-
zen.
MAINE’S BLUE LAW,
Even Confectionery -Sellers Can Not Dis-
pose of Wares on Sunday Hereafter.
Lewiston, Me., April 10.—Interest and in-
dignation are about divided here over the
action of Sheriff Cummings, who has un-
dertaken a, partial enforcement of the old
blue laws by compelling the confectionery
shop owners to shut up on Sunday.
These storekeepers are charging dis-
crimination and now threaten to serve
papers upon the sheriff in an action which
will force him to carry his crusade even
further and enforce to the very letter all
the famous old purity statutes.
This will mean, as is their purpose, that
business and labor of all kinds must cease
upon the 'Sabbath, and even the newsboys
will be driven from the streets and the
electric cars prevented from operating.

western railway company and three of the
Caledonian railway company ha.ve arrived
in Liverpool from the United States,
where they had been Inspecting the prin-
cipal railways and engineering works,
says the Tribune's London correspondent.
One of their number asserts that the
British railways ha.vk no thing to learn
from the Americans with regard to gen-

and that the British railways are far
ahead of the American- in safeguarding
the lives of their passengers.
RUSSIANS DISPOSSESS JAPANESE.
Pekin, April x0.—Advices received here

Only a few Russian troops were sent
there to dispossess the Japanese troops,
who had trespassed on a concesion of tim-
ber lands granted to a former Russian
financial agent in Corea.

g Senator Joe Blackburn Talks of His Father’s Famous Thor- g
J oughbreds and What They Could Do. |
“Race track devotees nowadays' want
quick action for their money,” said Sen-
ator Blackburn of Kentucky to the Wash-
ington Star this forenoon. “When I was a
young man the betting proposition was
subsidiary to the sport a,nd was in the
nature of side wagers between owners.
Now racing has grown to be a game
wherein every one is trying to get the
best of the bookmakers. I think every
one who loves the thoroughbred for what
he is and what he can do, regrets that he
has of late years become, to a large ex-
tent, a tool of the gamblers.
“I also think a ray of light, however, is
penetrating the clouds which hang over
racing when men like William C. Whit-
ney, August Belmont, S; ;S. Howland and
numerous others who might be men-
tioned become interested in it. It is not
the sordid end of it that these men seek,
but the glory of seeing their horses win.
And I ma.y add that the spirit thus mani-
fested was that which animated our
fathers and the rock on which they built.
“My father was among the first citizens
of Kentucky who bred, trained and1 raced
horses. Blackburn’s Whip, whose blood
ha.s- blended so kindly with trotters and
thoroughbreds, was his property. Boston,
sire of the immortal Lexington, died in
my father’s stable, and the great and1 un-
beaten Eclipse was in my father’s posses-
sion in the years 1837 and 1838. These
horses were the champions of their da.y
and the greatest horses of their genera-
tion; they -were not furlong sprinters, but
four-milers.
“It will hardly be believed in these days
of palatial stables that while these valua-
ble horses were in my father’s care they
occupied a very ordinary log stable
through which the winds whistled on win-
try nights and1 through which the snow
drifted on occasions. When Boston and
Eclipse were brought to Kentucky they
did not make the trip in palace cars, as
do the costly thoroughbreds of today;
walking was good enough for them and
it was by walking' every inch of the route
that they reached theii’ destination.
“Boston caught cold on the way to Ken-
tucky and went blind soon after his ar-
rival. I was a small lad at the time, and
used to visit Boston’s stable every morn-
ing to see him cared for and walked by
the colored groom. In the fall of 1849,
then 17 years old, he began to grow de-
crepit from the effect of severe racing and
duties in the stud, and frequently had to
be helped to rise, When on his feet he
seemed to be all right again and able to
take his morning exercise.
"Early one morning, in the year named,
I slipped out of the house and down to
Boston’s stable. The door was closed and
fastened within. I hammered on it and
clamored for admittance. The door was
cautiously opened far enough to admit the
passage of my body, when a black hand
seized me by the arm and dragged me
inside. I was no sooner in than the groom
was out and the door fastened. I took
the matter good naturedly until my eyes
became accustomed to the light, when I
saw something that curdled the blood in
my young veins. Boston was lying on his
side in a corner of his stall, lifeless, and
grea.t splashes of blood were on the wall.
In his dying struggle he had beaten his
head against the logs. I screamed lustily
for the groom, and, seeing he had carried
the joke far enough, he came to my res-
cue. My life has been in danger a. score
of times since on battlefields and else-
where, but I was never quite so badly
scared.
“I presume I am among the very few
men living who ever saw Boston. He was
the greatest race horse a.nd race horse
sire of his day, and his descendants are
even now racing at Bennings. He was
bred by the late eminent jurist, John
Wickham of Richmond, Va., foaled in 1833,
a,nd was got by Timoleon, by Sir Archy,
out of an own sister to Tuckahoe, by
Ball’s Florizel, a horse that during his
turf career was never touched by whip or
spur and was never beaten. The great-
great-granddam of Boston was never fully
traced. In his 2-year-old form, and while
he w*as unbroken, he was sold to Mr.
Nathaniel Rieves of Richmond, Va., for
$860.
“A peculiarity about him was tha.t he
could not be safely ridden with a spur.
In his’first race he bolted because his
r del’ used a spur on him, and was dis-
tanced. He was never again ridden with
a spur until ho ran against Fashion, in
his old age, and was beaten. In 1839 he be-
came the property of James Long of this
city for $12,000 and half the purse.
“Boston was a chestnut horse, with a
blaze in his face and white stockings be-
hind. He stood 15 hands, 3 inches under
the standard, but looked taller on account
of his prodigious size. He was a short-
limbed horse, with unusually short canon
bones. His eye, ear and nostril were fine,
but his head was not what you would can
pretty. His neck came out well from his
shoulders, the latter being oblique, broad
and muscular. His depth of chest was
immense and his throttle perfect.
“His back was the prodigy of strength
as well as his loins, so that 10 pounds
extra weight was not felt by him a,t the
end of a -hard day. The muscular de-
velopment of his arms and thighs was
almost unparalleled. He ran close to the
ground and was not a long strider. Usual-
ly he began a race without much show of
spirit, running the first two of three miles
with his head nearly on a level with his
back. When he began to get warm and
interested in the running his heai was
gradually elevated, and when he drew it
up he set at work in earnest. . Then you
saw a sure-enough race horse, for no
locomotive on four legs that tried was
ever able to go the pace w’ith him.
“Eclipse was also a, chestnut horse, and
was foaled ID years earlier than Boston,
or to be exact, in 1814. Eclipse was by
Duroc, by imported Diomed, the latter
being Boston’s great grandsire; dam, Mil-
ler’s DSmsel by Messenger, the great
great g-ra.ndsire of Hambletonian X,
founder of the Hambletonian family of
trotters. He was.bred by Gen. Nathaniel
Coles of Long Island, and his training
commenced as a 3-year-old.
“He had a star on his forehead and his
left hind foot was white some distance
above the ankle. In height he was about
15 hands 2 inches, but was built on a mas-
sive pattern. He was not a handsome
horse, probably due to his Messenger
blood through his dam. Duroc, his sire,
was an exceedingly handsome horse.
Eclipse’s action in front was heavy, and
he struck the ground heavy, dwelling a
little, but the style and regularity with
which he brought up his ha.unches and
the power with which they propelled him
forward overbalanced all criticisms of his
individuality and way of going.
“His temper was good and he required
a good deal of work, and in his running a
good deal of whipping. The account of his
grea.t race with Henry, which was virtual-
ly between the north and the south, still
thrills the blood of men w’ho have an
ounce of love for the thoroughbred in
their hearts. Henry won by a head in the
first heat, but Eclipse the race. It is es-
timated that 25,000 people witnessed the
race, and that over $200,000 in side bets
changed hands.
“While Eclipse was in my father’s
stable my father received one day an un-
expected visit from Henry Clay, who was
accompanied by several gentlemen from
Fayette and Woodford counties. They had
been fox hunting in the Immediate neigh-
borhood. Mr. Clay was a, connoisseur of
thoroughbreds and a breeder of them, and
was very anxious to see the horse that
had won worldwide fame on the turf.
“My father was peculiar, in that every
horse he owned or had cha.rg® of was a
trifle better than his predecessor. And as
he was a fluent talker and could describe
all the good points in a horse, Mr. Clay,
it appears, for the amusement of the
gathered company, decided to draw out
‘Uncle Ned,’ as my father wras called.
After Eclipse had been viewed and ad-
mired the guests adjourned to dinner. Mr.
Clay was in excellent spirits. While the
wine was being passed he raised his gla.ss
to his lips and proposed the health of my
father and the health of Eclipse, ‘the
greatest horse on the continent.’ My
father was not to be outdone. Filling his
glass and rising slowly from his seat and
bowing to Mr. Clay, he responded,
‘Eclipse is among horses, but Henry Clay
is among men.’ This display of repartee’
and gallantry put Mr. Clay on edge and
he scintilated as only ‘Gallant Henry of
the West’ could when he was a.t his best.
“Eclipse lived to be 33 years old and
died at the farm of .Tilson Yates, near
Shelbyville, Ky,
“The breeding problem is worthy of pro-
found study, for those who seek to solve
it enrich mankind. It is not and never
can become an exact science. I state this
as an abstract proposition without going
at this time into the whys and where-
fores-. I knew Mr. A. Keene Richards,
who attempted to- solve it by importing
Arabians, very well, indeed. He was an
excellent man, an enthusiast and deserved
a better laae than was his. As Senator
he bred his Arabians with the very best
blood that could be found in Kentucky.
“When his youngsters came on the turf
they were badly beaten. Turfmen who
disbelieved his theory, that the Arabian
could fertilize the blood of the modern
thoroughbred, allowed him, first, seven
pounds, andsthey were beaten. Then they
made the generous concession of 14
pounds—equal to a double distance, and
still they were beaten.
“Mr. Richards did not give up the fight.
Accompanied by the eminent animal
pa.inter, Troy, he turned his face once
more toward the Orient. He lived with
the Arabs in their tents. He ate and slept
with them, worshipped with them, and
dressed like them, and all for the purpose
of getting the best Arab horses to be
found among the descendants of Ishmael.
He studied and rode Arab horses until he
could judge of conformation, disposition
and type, a.nd he was especially careful to
purchase nothing that could not be traced
in an unbroken line to one of the mares
of the prophet. His later purchases
proved as great failures as his first.
“Now, as to the facts. Mr. Richards
did not comprehend, wha.t every success-
ful breeder must comprehend, that the
horse has a pyschical as well as a physi-
cal organization, and that these Arabs
had no inheritance of a, racing will. Hav-
ing it not themselves, how could they
transmit it to their progeny? It is as plain
as the nose on one’s face that you can not
make a good whistle from the tail of a
pig, nor can you gather grapes from
thistles, nor figs from thorns. Nature
works more intelligently. She never per-
forins miracles, but produces results
through natural laws.
“The supreme trial of the Arabian con-
sists in being mounted at midnight, and
carrying his master 100 miles across the
desert without food or wa.ter. In this
style of racing he could beat Hamburg,
Henry of Navarre, a Tenny or a Salvator.
The truth is, the Arabian has not been
subjected for 200 years or more to a
1 scientific course of training a.nd prepara-
te run one mile four miles, and

having no cultivation of will nor con-
sciousness of power to beat all others that
distance he miserably fails when brought
to a supreme test. «
“A single illustration of my proposition,,
for it is important to every man who
breeds either runners or trotters, and I
am done. In Abbeville district, Soutbi
Carolina, in the last century, there lived
a large breeder of thoroughbred horses
named Richard A. Rapley. He imported
a number of the most fashionably bred
stallions and mares that could be found in
Grea.t Britain. He was scrupulously care-
ful in all the crosses that he made, and
soon gathered about him a herd of pur®
bred animals that had never seen a rac®
course. He kept up this fancy through
several generations of horses. The atten-
tion of racing men was naturally turned
in time to this stud of pure bred animals,
and a number were selected and tried.
But notwithstanding their high lineage
and perfection of form they did not prove
to be race horses. The speed which they,
inherited from their ancestors had been!
lost through lack of usage. The conscious-
ness of speed and the will and ambition,
to win had died out.” ,
DAMAGE DECISION REVERSED. ■
Verdict of $46,000 for Death of PassengeB,
on N. Y. Central Thought Excessive.
New York, N. Y„ April 10.—The appellate-
division of the supreme court has handed
dowh a decision reversing the judgment of
the lower- court in the case of Christirife'
H. Hinsdale, as executrix of the will of
Edward C. Hinsdale, against the New",
York Central and Hudson River railroad.
The plaintiff obtained a verdict of $40,000
against the railroad for the death of Mr.
Hinsdale in the collision in the Park Ave-
nue tunnel on Jan. 8, 1902. The railroad
company admitted that the deceased’#
death was due to the neglect of its em-
ployes, but objected to the amount of the*
damages.
Mrs. Hinsdale sought to recover on thtf
basis of the fact that Mr. Hinsdale was
earning about $5000 a year, and that th#
“expectation of life” of a man at his age
was 19.50 years. The court declared that
this is not a fair basis of award. i

ney secretions began to set in. From then
ordinary Anglo-Saxon fails to describe th®
annoyance and suffering I endured. Th®
fearful pain through my body, loss of ap-
petite, loss of sleep, consequent loss of
energy, and finally an indication of com-
plete dissolution compelled me from sheejj
agony and pain to either lie on the flooi*
and scream or force me into spasms. On
such occasions my husband called in th®
physician, whose morphine ^treatment re-
lieved me temporarily. I "grew weaker
and thinner and ran down so physically;
that nothing was left but skin and bone.
All my friends, acquaintances and neigh-
bors knew about my critical condition, and
on one occasion I was reported dead and
my friends came to see my corpse. At last
the doctors attending me held a consulta-
tion and agreed that if I did not undengq
an operation I could not live. Prepara*
tions were made, a room selected at th®
city hospital, and they even went so far as
to bring the carriage to the door to carrj^,
me there. I don’t know why. but some-,
thing told me not to go, and I absolutely;
refused. Now I want the reader to grasp
every word of the following: A friend ef
ours, a Mr. McGaundm, knowing that my;
kidneys were the real cause of my trouble,
brought a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills to
the house and requested me to give theipi
a trial. I had taken so much medicin®
that I was more than discouraged and had
little if any faith in the preparation. How-
ever, I reasoned if they did me no good
they could not make me worse, so I bewail
the treatment. After the third dose I fell
something dart across me like a flash of
lightning, and from that moment I began:
to improve. The pain in my back and kid-
neys positively disappeared, and the kid-
ney secretions became free and natural.
At present I rest and sleep well, my ap-
petite is good, my weight had increased
from 118 to 155 pounds, and my flesh is firrrt
and solid. My friends actually marvel in
the change in my appearance. Words cart
not express my own feelings. I am not;
putting it too strongly when I say I hav<
been raised from the dead. I am satisfied
that had it not been for Doan’s Kidney
Pills taken when they were, I would hav®
been either lying in the Lake Wood ceme*
tery or an invalid for the balance of mjl
life I will be only too pleased to give!
minuter details of my case to any onel
calling on me, not. of course, out of idle!
curiosity, but if they teally have kidney^
complaint and want to know what cours®
to nursue to get relief. I procured Doan’a
Kidney Pills at J. J. Schott’s drug storfc’
on Market street.”
