THE TROUBLES OF JONES.

Jones is in trouble. Under ordinary cir
cumstances a little adversely would be a
matter of no concern to Jones, but TO meet
with misfortune in the heyday of his
hopes, of his popularity and of his career,
was a new sensation to Jones; hence he IS
worried. Those who have read the previ-
Gus sketches outlining the peculiarities Of
Jones will remember that last week he had
just entered the inventors and discoveries
heaven. He had found a substitute for
Misunderstanding that would intoxicate,
but without the evil effects of liquor.
"Jones's Exhilarant'' was soon to take the
place of whisky, wine and beer, and drunk
enness, in the present sense of the word,
was TO be abolished. Visions of wealth,
fame and praise had led him to great ex-
pectations. The old English proverb.
Fortune knocks once at least at every
mans gate" was ringing in his ears: he
believed his "cnce" had come. In his
heaven of hopes he had forgotten that
other saw of the slip, cup and lip. He re-
members it now. No would-be p~hflanthro-
pist likes TO have discredit cast on mis-
good intentions, or be thwarted in his de-
sign to be a world-benefactor. Therefore
Jones is troubled.

FOUL WINTER RACING
1t Remains for Indiana to Follow
the Example of New Jersey.
How CorruptiOnists Secured Control OF
the Government in that State
How ROby Threatens.

A Journal reporter recently met in the
corridor of a local hotel a lover of the race
horse and Of legitimate racing. Speaking
of Roby, he said:
''Roby Is a disgrace to our State, and one
that should be speedily abolished. 1t is the
outcome of the closing of the tracks at
Gutenberg and Gloucester, which so long
Contaminated the air of New Jersey, and
finally went down under the force OF pub
lie opinion as expressed at the polls. Sure
ly the people of Indiana do not realize the
moral effect of Roby. No respectable own
er or trainer Is connected with II. The
horses that are run there belong TO that
class know as skates the races are prin-
cipally what are known as selling affairs.
and rarely is a horse entered TO sell at more
than 500, while the riders are mere stable
boys, and not infrequently 'touts.' Winter
racing has never been looked upon with
favor save by an exceptional class made up
of bookmakers and regulars The regulars
have largely made up the patronage, rein
forced by clerks from banks, stores and
offices. who, in the role of 'pikers,' have
largely helped 10 make good the
ers' sheet when hard hit by the regulars.
LAS a fair sample Of winter tracks take
Gutenberg. AS is well known, 1t Is To-
Gated way up on the stony hills north or
Jersey City. When the track was laid out
the wise people laughed and said, Just as
we'll put your money in a rat hole but
they little knew the calibre Of the men be-
hind it. The partnership which started
this venture and which was subsequently
known as the Hudson County Jockey Club,
was composed of but four people, one or
whom was then clerk Of Hudson county,
another was Fred Waulbaum, better
known as Dutch Fred who had
previously been known in the East as a
short card sharp. 1 do not recall the names
of the other partners, but do believe that
each of the partners in less than four
years had each made over S1,0Oo,co. In no
account have l ever known the sum to be
stated at less. Finally the board OF con-
troll accepted a rule that no horse run at
a winter track would be eligible TO start
at a regular track. and this rule was in
force for two or three years, and then
another dark spot on the Jersey soil. So
far as racing was concerned. 1t was worse
than Gutenberg, but IL fourished none the
less. and it's managers were Tor a time a
power in the politics of the State, SO much
so that a former starter at the track was
elected to the lower house of the Legs
principal owner OF the Gloucester track
sought TO be a boss after the style Of Nc
Kane, and TO him his h,rcnmen gave the
name OF Duke of Gloucester
ITO such an extent did the winter tracks
in New Jersey rule the state that finally
the public overthrow the whole thing at

DRESS
II They VIII Wear KnickerbOckers
the Men VIII Follow After.

Philadelphia Record.
Rev. Robert Collyer's church in New
York city has given a fresh proof Of it's
progressive tendencies I'm permitting Mrs.
Cheney Ward. one of the Increasing guild
OF dress reformers, to give a Sunday even
ing lecture under its auspices attired In the
somewhat daring costume which she COM
comprised a black jersey cloth sleeveless
garment cut low at the throat; a little
Jacket: an unlined silk skirt, and beneath
this a pair of knickerbockers.
The recent congress on the subject of
improved dress has left little opportunity
for the saying OF anything on this subject
that might be new, but some of Mrs.
Wards remarks have the merit of novelty,
such as her suggestion that dress should
reach the maximum of it's ends with the
minimum OF bulk and weight of goods. II
should be adapted to the occupation, and
should enhance and be conformed 10 the
person, and not the person to the dress"
Nor did the fair reformer restrict herself
10 her own sex. She told her congregation
that the clothing of man Is as ungainly
as that of woman is unhealthy. Mans
cylindrical trousers and coats, consisting OF
three bags each, are the emblems of the in
artistic, sOrdid, unitarian end or nineteenth
century life"
The toilers grow numerous in the vineyard
of dress reform, but there is work and well
come for them all so long as they shall
work wisely. They Will not be working
wisely. however. TX they snail fail TO first
reform their own sex. The baggy condition
of mankind must be admitted with sadness
by aesthetic natures. but women must lead
the way toward simplicity and classicism.
WheresOever they may go, especially II they
shall lead the way in knickerbOckers, the
men will surely follow.
