w. H. Vreedenburgh, counsel for the
Monmouth Park Association, has filed in the
New Jersey supreme court the declaration
In the associations libel suit against the
New York Times and the New York
Tribune.
The suit is to recover 10000 damages and
Is based on an article published in the
papers named on the 18th OF August last
The article was signed by the executive
committee Of the Monmouth county citizens
league and called upon citizens of New
Jersey to agitate for the repeal of the gam
bling laws enacted last winter.
The article also called Monmouth Park a
'monstrous gambling hell" and added that
its present owners were notorious charac-
tiers, lone Of whom made his fortune out
OF the ignorant and foolish who were duped
by the Louisiana lottery"
Tracy Bronson. racing reporter of the
Times. and John 8. Mcdonald. racing re-
porter OF the Tribune, are charged with pro-
curing the publication Of the article. and
they are therefore made parties to the suit
In consequence of the article" SAYS the
declaration, "the associations business has
fallen off greatly
The defendants have a month in which to
make answer,

ne Has His Summer Sorrows as Well
as the Fat Man.
"Whew!" said the fat man as he mopped
the perspiration from his brow and crowded
the thin man againstthe side Of the seat of
| the open car mo one suffers like a fat
man in this weather"
"Indeed?" remarked the thin man sar-
castically, as he tried to get a little more
| room.
YES" continued the fat man, I'VE have
more troubles than any one in the summer
| time. haven't had a comfortable moment
today"
You haven'tr'
mo. 1 haven't. Do you think look COM
Portable now?"
mo. don't; but possibly you think that 1
am comfortable. A fat man always thinks
| he has the worst of II, but he isn't in 1t with
| a thin man. Do you suppose IL you had got
| this seat first any one would have come
along and squatted down beside you and
crowded you up against the rail? No, sir.
You'd have spread your anatomy over II
and held the whole seat until you got off,
But it's different with a thin man. He
walks three or four blocks, so as to be able
TO get good seat and gets 1t. A fat man
drops into the one behind him and a medi-
um-sized man into the one in front. Then
dioHs COMES anOtner Dig fellOW-One OF
those fat freaks who couldn't stand UP
without blocking the aisle or even the plat
FORM He looks along the car and spies the
thin man, and then he comes along and
plunks himself into the seat, and the thin
man IL crushed up against the sides and
heated by the great mass of hesh and prac-
tically isn't in II. He's in luck IL he doesn't
have some bones broken. Why don't you
pick out a man of your own size some
timer"
Look here sir. you're getting personal.
Do you mean to say that fat man has no
rights on a carr"
mo. sir. He has too ALFRED many for
the price he pays. They ought to have
scales on every street corner, and charge
for avoirdupois. Then a thin man would
have some chance"
The fat man was breathing SO hard that
every breath made the thin man groan as
ne was squeezed against the seat but the
latter was game. Finally the fat man blurt-
ed out:
I'm a bigger man than you are, but I
have half a mind to punch your head"
That's all right" retorted the thin man.
I'm smaller man than you are but I'm
quicker. and you'd never hit me but once"
What would you dor
I'D belt you In the stomach"
They glared at each other for a moment,
and then the fat man surrendered
"A thin man does have q pretty hard time
OF it, he said. It's these medium sized
fellows that have 1t easy"
They agreed on that, and trouble was
averted,

CHARGED WITH ROWDY CONDUCT.
Investigating Complaints Against
United States Soldiers.

A special from Kansas City, Kan, says:
In consequence of the killing OF j. R. Hill
of New Jersey by United States soldier
on the day Of the opening Of the Cherokee
Strip, and because of other outrages charged
to the troops, Col E. NJ. Hyde, special
agent of the War Department, arrived here
Friday night from Washington to investi-
gate. He began to take testimony Saturday
and most of it is very damaging to the &C
cused.
The Rev. ]. G. 4efton testified to rowdy-
ism on the part of the soldiers, and said
that one man, while drunk arrested him in
the city and was taking him to camp under
cover of revolver, when, by strategy, he
escaped.
VIM. Briefly saw the shooting of Hill. He
ran from the state line west of Chilocco and
so did HILL The crowd started on the run
because of the firing of two shots by the
soldiers. These shots were supposed to be
the signal. Hill was among the first.
The Rev. d. d. Delong was at the south
west corner Of Chilocco. There were thous-
ands ahead of Hill when he was shot. He
also testified to drunken conduct on the
part of the soldiers when in the city
G. w. Vaughn said he had bribed the
soldiers at the booth In order to get reg
istered without delay.

The Possibilities az shown by Diner-
ent Shoes.

The boot and shoe exhibit at the world's
fair leads one to view with alarm the pros
pective fate of the human pedals. says the
Minneapolis Tribune. The wild variety of
ingenious shapes exhibited in shoes discloses
the fact that the human foot in modern
| times has ceased to have a shape Of its
own. 1t is putty in the hands Of the ingen-
| ious artist. In short, the foot, as to shape
| and size, Is purely a shoemaker's product
| H. therefore. We want to know what the
root OF the future is to be we must study
the trend Of the cobblers art.
In spite OF the fearful variety Of shapes
and dimensions exhibited in the worlds
fair shoe exhibit there are certain tenden-
cies OF the shoemaking art that are clearly
marked and show progressive development.
Between the shoepack and plowshoe on the
one hand, and the patent leather ballroom
slipper on the other, there is a broad varia-
ton In the shape and dimensions which the
human root must assume and yet there are
one or two principles which apply more or
iess IN common to all Of the widely differ
enttated styles.
The one principle which stands out most
prominently in all the schools of the shoe
making art is this: that there is but one
recognized toe on the human foot. The
otner excrescences are not to be counte-
nanced or tolerated. The definition approved
by all shoe modistes Is that the human foot
is variable aggregation consisting Of four
parasitic heel the instep, the ball and the
great toe The latest and generally adopted
canon relative to the proper shape of the
front part Of the shoe is that It should con-
| sist OF straight line drawn from the outer
edge OF the ball of the foot to the tip Of the
great toe. 1t Is true there are many styles
OF SHOES that do not conform rigidly to the
canon, but the variations are permitted
simply on aesthetic grounds to secure vari-
ety. and not at all that not more than one
toe is recognized.
There Is said to be only one shoe in the
worios fair exhibit which distinctly recog-
nlzes and countenances five toes on the
human foot. and that is the wooden shoe
from Belgium. That shoe, which allots five
compartments of space to the toe family.
Is the exception which proves the rule
namely. that the great toe is the only au-
thorized projection on the portico Of the
pedal structure. A generation or two more
OF culture and heredity under the Draconian
laws imposed by the shoe artists will doubt
less see the human foot simplified and i'm
proved by the gradual elimination Of four
superf1uous, useless and inartistic frontal
projections.

POPULISTS TALK.
A Meeting mt Laurel Addressed by
Jerry simpson.

Jerry simpson.
Correspondence of The Evening Star
LAUREL, Md, October z, 1898.
The populists and independents of Prince
Georges county held their first meeting of
the campaign at Flester's Hall Saturday
night. John p. Duvall. lately a democrat
of some prominence. presided and intro
duced the speakers. Mr.. E. NJ. Burchard
of Hyattsville was the first to address the
audience, and he was followed by Mr. j.
H. Ralston, the candidate for the state
senate. Mr.. Ralston declared that the re-
publican party was dead and the demo-
cratic party dying, and that in five years
the populists would dominate the country.
The star speaker of the evening was Mr.
Jerry Simpson of Kansas, who held forth
for an hour. Mr.. Simpson is rather an in
teresting talker and intersperses his
speeches with quaint stories very much to
the point. He announced as the cardinal
principles of the populists-free coinage of
silver, government ownership control
OF railroads, telegraphs and telephones and
land values as the only basis Of taxation.
Quite large crowd, among which were
several ladies. was present and distributed
quite liberal applause when any good points
against the two existing parties were made.
After the meeting was over the visitors
were entertained by Mr. Jesse Smallwood,
candidate for the legislature on the popu-
list ticket.
