Special Award from the worlds Fair.

Special Award from the Worlds Fair.
Mrs. Jennie E. Hicks, of this city, has re-
ceived from the Worlds Columbian Exposi-
tion special award, in the form OF diploma
of honorable mention, for her fine painting of
the United States Capitol. which was loaned
to the United States Government to form
part OF the Government exhibit. The picture
was not entered for an award, therefore none
was expected. Mrs. Hicks was one of the
fortunate ones, receiving diploma for hav-
ing by her skill as an artist assisted in an i'm
portant way in the production and perfection
OF the United States Government exhibit.
Mrs. Hicks larger painting of the Capitol has
recently been hung in the House of Repre-
sentatives, and has been much praised for its
merits. Mrs. Hicks enjoys the distinction of
being the only artist who has painted the
Capitol as whole. the great labor involved
in such an undertaking doubtless having de-
TERED others from attempting such task.

Valuable Book for Members of Congress

4 NAluaDlG bOOk lot MEMBERS OF congress
The board of trade has prepared pamphlet
setting forth the relations existing between
the District of Columbia and the general gov
eminent. The object of the publication is ex-
planned in a preface, as follows:
1T seems 10 be understood by some, at least,
that the citizens of the District pay no taxes:
DO nothing for themselves or for the support
ofthe United States government, and, as stated
by former member, ARE merely set of
paupers, supported by the general govern
ment'
1T is TO correct such misrepresentation that
this statement of facts all based on official
records-has been prepared, and it is sin
cerely hoped that members will carefully ex-
anime the same in order that they may act
with full knowledge of the facts.
'lnasmuch as Congress has seen flt to con-
stitute itself the town council for the District
and has deprived the citizens of any voice in
the management of their own local affairs.
tie least its members can honestly do is to
inform themselves so as to act intelligently on
District affairs
The pamphlet contains great deal of very
valuable information. and every member of
Congress should obtain a copy and master its
contents.

GOOD THINGS WENT WRONG
-Four FaVOrites Badly Beaten at the
Alexander Island Track.
THE COURSE A SEA OF MUD
Secretary Tompkins Celebrated His Birthday
by Winning Races with Gallatin and
Grand Prix-Lakeview Couldn't Run in
the Mud-John P Disappointment

The talent returned their hard-earned
money Of Monday to the bookmakers yester-
dsy. four first choices going the way so many
Of them have gone during the past few weeks.
Grand Prix was the only successful favorite
TO catch the judges eye first, he winning the
closing event handily. But before this race
was called most of the plungers had
their pockets empted. Grand Prix's stable
companion. Gallstin, captured the fourth
race from the odds on choice. Marguerite.
BY winning these two races Secretary G. r.
Tompkins was made the happiest man on the
track. and he had occasion TO be pleased over
his good luck. as it was the anniversary of his
birth.
The weather was again unpleasant, but the
attendance was surprisingly good. The track
resembled a sea OF mud Lakeyiew, on the
strength OF his previous easy victories, was
backed down from even money to z TO 10 in
the opening event. The best he could do
was to finish second to Prince John, whom
Harry Lewis rode in mastery style. The
next odds on favorite TO 60 down was His
Grace, PickawRy, 3 to l shot. beating him
by half length. The two-year-old race pro-
duced good betting, three-iourths OF the Ten
youngsters being well supported. The ''tip'
was John p. on his Providence form, but in
the race he ran last most OF the way and
finished next to last. The winner turned up
in Amsterdam. who was quoted at 40 10 l.
Though Gallatin beat Marguerite cleverly
at the finish in the fourth race, 1t appeared rs
if Johnson took matters rather easy on Mar
guerite when seeing Gallatin closing mp.
Ridden with more vigor the mare might
have forced Gallatin TO stretch his neck at
thefnish. Summaries:

The Tenth of September in business
Circles.

Merchants who were Intercepted a
month ago in regard to the business
prospects set the date Of the fall open
ing at about September 10. The result
has fully justified their expectations.
The wholesale trade has opened with
a good volume OF business and con-
slderably earlier than last year. Col
lections are repbrted much better than
they were a year ago. Much new ter
ritory has been opened TO Fort Worth
trade by the leading firms of the city
who have been pushing out into new
fields.
The retail business continues to i'm
prove and a heavy trade Is expected
before the season Is over. The move
ment OF grain has increased consldera-
bly, within the past week and cotton
is beginning 10 move freely.
Among other encouraging indications
is the fact that better class of goods
IS being demanded In the grocery line
and goods which were considered too
much OF luxury to meet with ready
sale a year ago are now being much
sought after
