Germany is now experimenting with

Africa has been hampered by John Bull.
Germany hopes in avasue way that Eng.

all she wants Port Arthur, which Japan

LONDON, May 4.-The way the Ameri-
cans are running their horses here has
begun to arouse criticism which promises
to increase. 1t is impossible to ascertain
in advance what horses they intend to
run in any event.
The Sporting Times today says: 1.-The
Americans played bold game IN enter
ing horse like Banquet to be sold for
f2O0. Four thousand pounds went on
him and the good thing came off in fine
style. He was bought in for $50 and it IS
said would not have been sold for twice
that amount. Simms was again seen to
great ad dvantage. There is no doubt he is
really fine horseman.
The plunge On Banquet was the talk OF
the day as we have become unaccustomed
to such heavy betting. We cannot say we
welcome this return to sort of racing
which has always been held to be vicious.
The object of selling races is defeaeted
when, for a gambling purpose, horse is
entered for sale at zenith OF his value
with the intention to rebuy HIM at what
ever cost From all we can hear the
Americans have not yet played their great
cards. Some day we shall see their favor
ite in the still unfit Stonenell. We hear
the Americans are overriding the trial
ground at Newmarket, occupying it

b There seems to be little doubt that
China and Japan have both ratified the
treaty of Shimonoseki. which complicates
the position of European protesting
powers. At the request of the Associated
Press, Poultney Bigelow. who has excep-
tional means OF obtaining political infor-
alton, especially in Germany. has writ
ten the following

Russia orders Japan to give up her focst-
hold on China because, forsooth. she may
disturb that mystical humble called
balance of power. This order is backed
up bv the voices of France and Germany.
The voice of France is weak. not because
she does not love Russia. but because she
also loves Japan and because she hates
Germany more than she loves any coun-
try. Germ aNy is sacrificing the friend

homes of Mitrin Il fly past; the Carpin-

view of its grandeur and fertility; sum-

resorts in small way are springing up
in new places.
At Ventura some forty or more of the
party stop for the day to visit the flower
garden of Mrs. Theodosia B. Shepherd,
whose reputation as a florist extends
wherever seeds and plants are grown.
This garden is not laid out in the trim
walks and beds of a landscape gardener;
it is practical enterprise that this en-
ergetic woman has carried on from
small beginning to profitable business in
growing California seeds and bulbs for the
eastern market. The finest varieties of all
she undertakes to cultivate are brought
to perfection in this favorable climate,
and many new cnes have been originated
by her intelligent hyblidizing, to which she
devotes much attention. After luncheon
many of the private conveyances are put
at the disposal of the visitors for drive
around the little city and up ''the ave-

of Ventura canyon. Six or seven miles
of this beautiful drive is sprnkled during
the summer, and the road is perfect to

To one familiar with the canyon and
lover of its scenery, it is a matter OF re-

these prosaic days. Every year more and
more of the gnarled old oaks are laid low,
the riot of wild flowers plowed under and
the tangle of woodsy growth give way to
geometric lines of fruit trees.

SANTA PAULA. May 4.-The Chapala
street station in Santa Barbara was lively
with the seventy five or more intellectual,
brightfaced women leaving the city on
Friday morning after one of the best and

OLYMPIC WHEELMEN.
A Scheme Which Is Practical to Swell
the Membership of the
Annex.

Among the wheelmen of the Olympic
Club who are not members of the cycling
annex there appears to be objections to the
manner in which some of the leading men,
bers of the annex conduct the affairs of
the cycling department. In speaking of
how it is run a member of the club said
yesterday that before he had joined the an
mex he was approached by one of its prom
inent supporters and informed that it
would be to his interest to become repre-
sentative of the great body of wheelmen.
as then his machine would be well cared
for, and, besides, he would enjoy many
privileges which the unattached members
are denied.
When Director Short was spoken to on
the matter he said that the wheelmen's an
mex was now something like 260 strong,
and that it was growing in numerical
strength daily.
In reference to the alleged boycott on
members of the club who ride wheels, but
who are not in any way connected with
the annex, Mr.. Short said that the lower
rooms of the club where bicycles are stored
are open to every member of the Olympic
Club, and that the men in charge of this
department have been instructed to show
no favoritism. He admitted that mem
bers OF the club who had no desire to join
the annex have been approached and given
to understand that if they wanted their
wheels nicely cleaned and well cared for
they should join the Wheelmen's Club
and have a voice in the management OF
affairs. Mr.. Short did not think, however,
that the little protest instituted by those
who had refused to join the annex
amounted to much.

suit upon the case their unanimous opin-
ion was favorable to the contention of the
Government, and one of the Justices was
instructed to prepare a decision in favor of
the custom-house.
The Justice on returning home told his
wife of the case, and indicated the ground
of the decision; whereupon the lady told
him in plain words that the Justices of the
Supreme Court did not know what they
were talking about and had agreed upon
an unjust decision The lady was entirely
clear that the article in dispute could not
properly be called a sauce, and openly ridi-
culed the court.
RThe perplexed Justice, instead of prepar-
ing the decision in accordance with the in
structions of his brethren, did nothing IN
the matter, but at the next opportunity
unfolded to the other Justices his wife s
view of the matter, and asked them to seek
domestic counsel on the case and report at
the next consultation of the court.
When the consultation came round the
Justices, having taken feminine counsel,
all reported against their original view that
the article involved in the case should be
classed as sauce, and accordingly the JUS
tice originally charged with the task OF
preparing decision in favor OF the Gov
eminent was now instructed to prepare
one in favor of the New York lawyers
client.
1t thus happened that the lawyer won
his first case before the Supreme Court be-
cause the wives of the Justices knew more
than the court itself.-New York Sun.
