willing to Strengthen the Team.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Sporting Life writes:
Before the team left Washington for
New York 1 had long talk with Treas
urer Wagner and Manager Schmelz about
the makeup of the senatorial aggregation.
l was bewailing the fact that the team
was weak in the pitchers box and off-color
at the short stop position. Mr.. Wagner
spoke up, saying: L am going to make the
same statement to you that l did to Man.
ager Schmelz Just before you came in. If
you can point out to the satisfaction of Mr..
Schmelz any one of a half dozen men who
are better ball players than those under
contract to the club now we will get them
If 1t Is possible. i realize that we might go
to work and sign some new material and
thereby make a grand bluff to indicate to
the Washington patrons that we are doing
everything we know how to strengthen the
team. But before We sign anybody We want
to be sure that 1t is the sort of material
which will help to win games"

A MODEL RACE TRACK
Transformation Scene Takes Place at
Alexander Island.
Vowel shaped Track and New Build
fngs-Racing TO Commence Soon
l,-N 7- Horses on Hand.

A few weeks ago Alexander Island, at the
Virginia end of the Long bridge, was
waste of marsh and lowland. Today there
stands upon it one Of the most perfectly
appointed race tracks in this country.
The track in question is that of the
Grange Camp Association of Northern Vir-
ginia. a racing organization composed of
the Jones brothers. Thos. Darden and other
well-known local racing men. The grounds
Of the association, comprising a hundred
acres or so. begin at a point within a short
distance Of Jackson City. and run along
and back of the river front for mile or so.
The race track is shaped like the figure 6,
the oval part being a six-furlong course,
while a straightaway shute of five fur
longs forms the stem part of the figure. BY
such an arranged track races of four and
five turlongs can be made straightaway
while in races over six furlongs and not ex-
ceeding a mile and three furongs the
horses will twice pass the grand stand
The track is wide. If not wider than
any other in this country, being 50 feet I'm
width in the stretch and on the turns while
IT Is 20 feet in width on the back stretch
1t is almost perfectly level. the turns are
nnely thrown up, and the foundation is hard
and solid. The soil is a sandy loan. A
deep, wide drain runs parallel with the in
Der rail the entire length of the shute and
oval course, perfectly draining the whole
course. The wisdom of such an arrange
ment is best shown by the fact that despite
the unusually heavy rains of the past few
days, The track was this morning perfectly
dry throughout its entire length. In fact.
the track Is not only as safe and as dry
as human ingenuity could make it. but il
WIZ also prove to be one OF the fastest in
America. especially SO in races of from
four 10 five fUrlongs. To the great ajority
away races will be as novel as they are in
tereytfng.

Everything New.

OF course, everything on the track is
brand new. but every feature about II evil
dences the fact that it is right up to date.
The grand stand faces about northeast. and
from it the grandest view of Washington
and the surrounding country obtainable is
had. Looking across the broad Potomac,
the eye glances first upon hill-perched st.
Ehzabeth's, and then, sweeping northward
and westward, from the glistening, gilded
dome of the Library building to the stately
mansion at Arlington, a picture of noble
beauty and grandeur is beheld. The stand
will seat about 1000 people. and from it
simply perfect view of the track is had. 1t
is reached by two great broad flights of
steps. In the rear is a prettily furnished
lddies' room, with every convenience. Be
meath is the betting ring. bar and lunch
arranged telegraph office The grand stand
runs. parallel with the track, SO that the
confusing angle is removed.
The judges stand, neat, roomy. glass-in-
closed one, is but slightly raised thereby
removing all danger of losing sight of the
outside horse or horses. The timers will
also md place in the judges stand. A
sheltered paddock, 60 by 100 feet. stands
just to left of the grand stand, adjoiling
the secretarys Office and weighing room.
Between them and the paddock is the
Jockeys room, containing twenty-one con-
veniently arranged lockers. A few hundred

TO be used in case of fire or for sprinking

The stables hold 800 horses. They are all
occupied, and more will be built

WOULD TAX CHURCHES.

DR.. Peters Strongly Advocates That
Theory IN a sermon-Gives Bis BeR-
sons Corpo-nted Religious Wealth a
Menace TO Public Welfare.
NEW YORK, March 13.--Numerous
reasons were given By Rev. n. c. Peters
in his sermon at the BlOOmingdale
Reformed church why church pro-
perty should be taxed. lie said in part;
The census of 1890 has reported the al
legged value OF church edifces, the lots
on which they stand, and their furnish
ings as $3.50, 6S7, LOG. This does not in
clude the value OF parsonages, colleges,
orDhanages, land, etc, Of which the
various churches hold probably S1OO,
600, 600 more. General Grant, 10 his
famous message to Congress in 1879,
was probably not far from right when
he said: In 1900, without a check, 1t
is safe to say this property will reach a
sum exceeding $4,000, GOO, 600.
The census Of 1890 shows that the
Catholic estimate OF the value OF their
church edifces alone is Sis, 542, 300.
This does not include schools, converts,
real estate, or mercantile property, so
called church property. very care
full student OF the Catholic church I'D
this country says she has now $3.50,
OOO. 600 worth of property. Without
taxation conGscation will be Inevitable
Let Americans take warning by the
fact that corporated religious wealth
became at one time so great in England
and in France, Italy, Spain, and South
Germany that IL crippled their re-
sources, paralyzed industries, and pro-
duced ambitions which were only ale
waited by wholesale cOniscation.
Mexico and many Of the South Amer
lean republics had to seize the property
of the church. Four-fiths Of the Pro-
testant clergy and the Protestant peo-
pie are in favor Of the taxation OF all
church property. and the other NTH
will be as soon as IL gets information on
the matter.
BENJAMIN franklin said: when re-
ligion is good IL will support itself, and
when it canuot support itself and God
does not care to support il, so It's pro-
fessors are obliged to call for help from
the civil power, am apprehensiye that

President Garfield said: Tho di-
vorce between church and state ought
to be absolute. Ifyou exempt property
OF any church organization you impose
n tax on the whole community. with
so much poverty aud want in the com
munity, our magnificent church edifces,
massive buildings for alleged charitable
purposes on our most valuable sites are
a burlesque on both religion and chart
tv. Tax churches and modest build
ings will be erected where they are
most needed, instead OF building one
great structure in a fashionable quar-
ter. Exemption from taxation is vir-

trary TO our constitution"
