SERVANT, NOT MASTER.
The Starter Should Be Controlled
= by the Judges.

The Starter Should Be Controlled
by the Judges.
1t has been suggested in some of the
public prints that the starter at trotting
races should occupy stand on the track
opposite the stand assigned to the regu-
larry appointed judges. This plan was
tried at the breeders meeting at Chicago
in August, and it did not give the high
eSl satisfaction. Under the present
rules the starter has no authority except
that delegated to him by the judges.
TO place him where the judges cannot
communicate with him and have very
little control over him, is to stretch au-
thOrity and magnify his Importance.
The judges have power TO assess fines and
impose other penalties for disobedience
in scoring, and complete surrender of
this power to rattle-headed starter
was never contemplated by the rules.
The dignity of the stand cannot De pre-
served unless the starter is made the
servant instead of the master of the
judges. First change the law before
you give him separate stand. Usually
he is man of crotchets and prejuGiceS
and will bear watching. The judges
stand should be on the outer circle of
the track. This gives a better COM
mand of the horses and makes it easier
to convey official information to the
occupants of the grand stand. Steps
should be built so that one judge would
stand on the finish line directly above
the other judge, and the starter could
stand Oh the lowest step viii. e trying to
get the horses Off evenly, and retire 10
the rear as soon as the word was given.
In such position he would be under
the immediate eve of his superiors and
all OF his acts would be subject to in
slant approval or reyersi0n.

She Killed a Ground Hog.

A lady living in Westbrook, Me-, saw
black woodchuck prowling around her
garden and field several times within a
few weeks. Not being fond of wood
cilucks in general and black ones in
particular, she engaged a young fellow
to slaughter the animal. AS is
usual in such cases, when the
woodchuck was here the boy was not,
and the lady could do nothing but attack
the animal herself. She took bat, and
stealing up behind the ground hog when
he was busy thinking about his sins or
something else, laid him out with one
blow and killed him with the next.
This, says the Portland Press, makes
one more occupation, heretofore monep-
olized by men, that is now open to
Womankind.

NIGHTMARE OF THE TURF.
The Ringer Should Be Punished
Wherever Caught.

The Ringer Should Be Punished
Wherever Caught.
The ringer is the nightmare of the
trotting turf. and the despair of the
trotting associations. Plans and de
vices without end have been discussed
and formulated looking to his eXtirpa-
ton; yet never. probably. i'm the history
of the trotting turf did the ubiquitous
ringer flourish as in the season now
drawing to close. 1t would seem that
such turf legislation could, and if it
could it certainly should. be adopted as
would effectually stop fast performers
maSQuerading in slow classes under diff
ferent aliases. Somebody has said that
when man starts out to ring" horse
he starts out to steal. and the IAN
guage, strong and clean-cut as 1t
no offense against the trotting interest
more deSpicabie than ringing. 1t ranks
in the track department with manufact-
uring pedigrees in the breeding depart
ment of the trottingIhorse business.
Theoretically, the rules of the trotting
associations are very good. but the very
fact that SO much ringing is carried on
shows that in practice they are defect
i've. We hear of many cases of ringing
being detected, says the Horseman. but
undoubtedly five pirates escape detec-
tion to every one that is caught. The
rules of the American association
are on their face strict, and it would be
supposed ample to prevent the evil.
They provide that the residence and
postOffice address of the nominator must
be given, and that if he is unknown to
the officers of the track he must eStab-
lsh his identity, and penalties are pro-
yided to punish misrepresentation OH
these points. But the trouble is that
the smaller tracks in their zeal for ell
tries do not enforce these rules in
their spirit. The great deSideratum
with the small track is to
secure entries, and it John Jones, from
Smithville, Ind, comes along with his
horse aud his 10 per cent in cash, the
average secretary Will not ask Mr..
Jones any pointed questions. The same
spirit generally animates all the officials,
including the judges, on race day. 80
that unless some horse owner detects
the ringer. there is little danger of his
being interfered with; ana when the
ringer is caught, it is generally after
the harm is done, and, as rule. all he
is required TO do is to pay back what he
''won." and he is free again TO go out
on the tracks as good man as any. The
breeder who enters young horse in
race, and is beaten by some old stager,
finds no consolation i'm the fact that the
buccaneer is compelled to return the
money. The breeder values victory for
itself more than for the money it brings,
and the sting of defeat is not softened
by the after developments. There can
be no doubt that the practice of allow
ing money consideration 10 condone
the offense is merely putting a premium
on ringing. There should be no COM
promise with fraud.

Utility Gowns.

Edinburgh diagonal suitings are much
liked for utility gowns; also PiccadilIy
wools in shot effects, combined with the
same goods in checks or stripes. Upon
the new CarmeIite cloths for walking
and visiting costumes are woven some
very beautiful borderingS that closely
initiate elaborate silk enbroideries. A
pattern in rich velvet has gold and
russet bordering, which. though woven
in the fabric, has hand wrought effect.
The design represents fine rose vines
interviewer with small maUve and gold
thistle blossoms. A marine-blue Eng
liSh cloth gown has black band border
ing the skirt. and on this are laid many
rows OF gold braid. The seamless
bodice has loops of the braid run round
it with excellent effect. The sleeves
are of black cloth.

day. His father, Gideon Draper Sr.,
died on the same day of the same month

WASHINGTON. Oct. l9.-Nothing but
good weather is needed to insure eight
days of good sport at the fall meeting of
the Washington Jockey club, at Ben
nings, which opens Tuesday. the 2lst.
About 200 horses have already arrived,
representing the best stables in the
country. There will be little surplus
stock on the ground, as all the horses
are here to race. The club has az
ranged good programme of five or six
races each day, with Steeplechase
every other day. Massilon, of Blunt's
stable. became lame at his work yeSter-
day, and very probably will not bs
started at this meeting.

g And yet in spite of this sage counsel
the majors mind was not at peace. Still
the vision haunted his rest; still in his
dreams he saw the dark pier and heard
sthe sullen plash of the water, and still
sthe same whisper he could not under
stand. There were times when he al
most made up his mind to cancel the re-
mainder of his leave and return to
India, in the hopes that the active life
with his regiment might clear away the
haunting fancies from his brain, and yet
when it came to the point he could not
make up his mind to leave the land
where the girl, who he believed had
been fouily murdered, slnmbered in her
grave. One day when he was almost
wearied out with his self-tormentings,
it suddenly flashed across his mind that
a friend of his had written him to say
that he had sent tiger. which had
grown too large for pet, to the Zoolog-
ical gardens, and begged him to 60 and
see MOtee, for so the animal was called,
for old acquaintance sake.

mediately taking them some feet from

of them, ''for heavens sake, take care! I!

A cOntemptuOus smile passed over the

he then raised the lid of a deal box,
which had been placed upon the table,
and in another instant the fiat head and
dark, shining body of a cobra. some
three feet in length, appeared above the
edge. The reptile, like the rest of the
creatures, seemed excited and uneasy,
but made no attempt to strike its fangs
into the hand which the doctor drew
softly down its back.
"Gently, gently, mybeautiful Bhoot,"
murmured the doctor. speaking in the
soft accents of the Hindustani language
with which Manvers was perfectly con-

LATEST Washington advlCes received at
Las Cruces concerning the Selden canal
are to the effect that the entire matter as
to the right of way across the Fort Selden
reservation and the reservation itself has
been turned over to the interior depart
ment, and work on the canal on the res
ervation has ceased. However, it is I'M
derstood that the canal company will com
mence work on the lands just below the
Fort Selden reservation, and on the Dona
Ana grant, through which the company
has already secured the right of way.
The canal ought to be constructed by all
means it will prove of great benefit to the
entire Mesllla valley, bring great deal OF
waste land under ditch, increase the
amount of cutivable land and make the
water supply for the valley more certain
and abundant. When the manifold adj
vantages of this enterprise are fully un-
derstood at Washington there is scarcely
any doubt but that the right of way will
be granted through the military reserve.
In the mean time the company shows its
faith and pluck in resuming construction
work just south of the reservation.

1T MUST 90 ON,

There is every reason to be encouraged
over the outlook for developing artesian
water here. The experimental work now
in progress has proven enough already to
cause the adjacent valley lands to be
sought after, having encountered five
veins of water either one Of which shows
sufficient hydrostatic pressure to force
the precious fluid to within 100 feet OF
the surface. This OF itself means that ere
long that region will be dotted with wind
mills; but Santa Fe citizens should not
falteY even if this 900 foot experiment
fails to secure a perfect artesian we'll
As the New MEXICAN under
stands it, the contractor has yet to
60 $50 feet further to complete his
contract, and it is believed flow will be
had before that depth is attained; but
should this prove not to be the case, the
work must not be allowed to stop. Hay
ing gone thus far, citizens must see to it
that at least 800 feet further should be
subjected to the test. Artesian water
means entirely too much for this city and
region to allow the present enterprise 10

NOTWITHSTANDING the TACT New Mexico
has been trampled under foot for years
she is gradually coming to the front !;
although she has received but little recog-
altion from the government she is day by
day climbing the heights. New Mexico
is an empire within herself, both in ex-
tent and in national resources, and these
alone are bound to attract capital and I'M
migration some time, but the longer We
remain outside of statehood the longer it
will take to accomplish the desired result.

JUST as was predicted in these columns
Delegate Joseph's congressional scheo
bill has served to give the county at large
. false idea OF affairs in New Mexico
Some weeks ago Senator Edmunds fell
called upon to ask congress to enact 8
very rigid school law for Utah the effect
of which is to take the management Of
public school affairs there out of the
hands of the Mormonns. Following
closely upon the heels of this comes Mr.
Joseph's bill concerning New Mexico,
and as a consequence New Mexicos enc
mics are making haste to class us in the
same category with Utah. The result
isn't at all pleasant to contemplate.
