WHY GERALDINE LOST.
Some Inside History About an Eastern
Race Course.

Some Inside History About an Eastern
Race Course.
The defeat of Geraldine, the speedy
daughter of Grinstead, the Santa Anita
stallion, in the memorable Toboggan
Slide handicap, is matter of turf his
tory. Very few are aware, however,
that the Los Angeles county mare lost
the race by fluke. A writer in the
New York Sun Says:
In the opinion OF every unprejudiced
person, this angle lost the rich Tobog-
gan Slide hadicap two years ago to the
famous California Splinter Geraldine.
Andy Mccarthy took the extreme out
side with Porter Ashes daughter of
Grinstead, and appeared to have the
race at his mercy fifty yards from the
wire. Geraldine did not slacken her
pace any, but Hamilton chung to the
inner rail with Mr.. Belmont's Fides,
and that bit of strategy won one of the
richest races of the year for the nursery
stud. Mr.. Norris was extremely slow
in admitting that there was an angle,
but the fact that the course is being al
tered is the best proof that he has
changed his mind. Before the angle
was removed the horse on the rail had a
great advantage. Now there will be no
room for fault6nding, and an owner will
be content and accept defeat with good
grace.

HELLO! SANTA CLAUS.
HERE'S A CHANCE FOR you TO DO
SOME GOOD.
A Heart-Sick Woman and Her Four Little
Ones in Want at the Arcade Depot.
Her Pitiful story.

A typical case OF woman's devotion in
the face of the most trying circumstances
came to HERALD reporters notice yes
terday at the Arcade depot.
A Mrs. Thompson and four children,
ranging in age from about IS years down,
have been in the waiting room OF the
depot since Sunday afternoon. The
woman ia friendless, moneyless, and
haunted by fear that the man who once
swore to love, honor, cherish and pro-
tect her, will suddenly swoop down and
steal away her children.
Her story as told to the reporter is as
follows:
81 came here from Cheney, Washing
ton. A friend told me that I could prob
ably get work here in the orchards or in
some family. l had money enough to
get here, but l have only dollar or go
left. | went to an employment agency,
but did not get much help there; they
told me my children would be a draw
back; no one would want to hire a
woman who has four children. 1t was
in the hope of keeping my children that
| came here. l was forced to leave my
husband, and he has been trying to get
my boys and my little girl away
from me ever since. l had no
money and he is man OF
considerable influence, and no lawyer
would help me because I could not pay.
l thought could come here and get
work, and keep my children with me
where they would be safe. 1 have
brothers in Iowa, and I think they
would help me if they knew what trou-
BILE was in. thought that perhaps
after awhile l could get school. l used
to teach about twelve years ago."
The poor woman has spent most of
the time in tears. Her children are
bright, handsome little ones, not old
enough to be capable OF realizing their
situation. The unfortunate woman's
hands are scanned and worn with toll,
and altogether her case is most pitiable.
Here is splendid opportunity for some
good Santa Claus to give a sick-at-heart
woman, and four little ones, the mer-
rect kind of Christmas. The depot
attaches have helped the unfortunates,
and it is now surely someone else's turn.

 NEW ORLEANS, May 7.-The report of the grand jury, is of course, the general topic of conversation here and is approved by all classes of good citizens.
 The Italian Consul here, Signor Corte, says that he is very much displeased with the report. He furnished much iu- formation to the jury, he says, which was ignored, evidently, as there is noth- ing in the report to indicate that it was used. MT. Corte adds that his oath of secrecy prevents him from telling what he testified before the grand jury.
 The Consel says that he will imlnedi- ately transmit the report in full to his home government, and he fears that seri- ous COT .iications between Italy and the United States will be the ultimate result.

 ANYTHING that sets the blood in act i've misunderstanding bucksaw-- will break up a cold.
 GEN. LEW WALLACE says that a poul- tice Of mustard and garlic applied to the soles of the feet will cure rheuma- tism in one night.
 WHEN cold water is craved (although cold water really interferes with diges- tionl, it should be boiled and filtered, and cooled in bottles on ice. FoR stiff neck, sore throat, pains in the chest, good remedy is to rub some oil or vaseline into the skin, then cover with apiece of cotton wadding, the shiny side outward, and wear till the dis comfort is gone.
 PROF. CHARLES RICHET states in the Progress Medical that fifteen grains of sulphate of quinine, administered two hours, or four hours at the most, before embarlSing, will completely free even sensitive subjects from the horrors of seasickness.

 SEATTLE, Wash, May 7.-President Har- rison and party arrived here by boat. Elliott Bay was crowded with vessels of every description when the steamer City of Seattle, with the party aboard, arrived. The reception by the Seattle committee aboard the steamer was without formal ity, save few remarks by Mayor White, to which the President briefly responded.
 The President was rendered q reception at the Exposition Building at Portland. The crowd numbered over 10000 people and was enthusiastic. The President made long speech. Postmaster General Wanamaker and Secretary Rusk spoke briefly. The ladies of the party were rendered reception by the ladies of the city.
 The President and party left for Puget Sound at l a m. and entered the State of Washington in a driving rain storm, which greatly interfered with the ar engagements for his reception at various stations along the road. At Tacoma the train was met by the Governor of the State, the Mayor of Tacoma and a com mittee of citizens. The line of march was handsomely and appropriately deco rated. Addresses of welcome were made by Governor Perry and the mayor of the city, to which the President responded briefly.
