EVERYTHING SEEMS WRONG

To the dyspeptic. The world is up
side down; the times are out of joint;
he's ready to turn his back upon his

Now, the thing that oftenest is
wrong with dyspeptics, is their
choice of a remedy. 1t seems to lie
between drugs and medicines on the
one hand and the Carlsbad Sprudel
Salt on the other. They can't both
be right; there's too much difference
in their methods and in their results.

Carlsbad has been curing dyspeptics

CRASH ON THE HUDSON.
Ferry Boat Chicago Collides With
the Steamship AlXinn.

In clear, calm weather, with nothing to
ohstruct the vision, a collision occurred on
the Hudson river at New York yesterday,
which in one respect was the worst that
has happened thereabout for a long time.
The Pennsylvania railroad ferry boat Chi
cago had barely cleared her slip at the
foot of Cortlandt street for Jersey City
wnen she was run into by the steamship
Alvina of the Atlas line.
At that hour the ferry travel from New
York across the river is small, and to that
fact is probably due the escape from death
and injury of greater or less number of
human beings. OF course there was a
panic among the passengers, but no one
was hurt, except a truck driver, whose
hand was bruised by being thrown off his
seat. and 1t was wonderful that the Chi
cago was not sunk AS 1t Is, she Is partly
wrecked, the damage suffered by her being
greater than that resulting from any col
lision for several years.
The steamer Alvina was proceeding down
the river in tow of tug. She ran close to
the New York side. and just as the CHI
cago moved out of her slip the bow of the
steamer crashed into the forward end Of
| the ferry boat
The impact was at angle of about
80 degrees, and the steel prov of the steam
| er plowed I'D the heavy timbers of the
| Chicago and splintered them like matches
Her forward rudder was carried away anC
| her flooring was piled up as high as tbs
upper deck, some of which was also crush
| ed and carried away. The entire front O.
the ferry boat looked as If it had beer
| wrecked by dynamite.
Passengers were thrown from their seats
| and the horses attached to wagons OF
| board became almost unmanageable. For
| tunately there We're only two teams on thu
| boat, and both were about the center, 81
| that another danger usual in ferry col
| lislons was absent.
| The Chicago came to a full stop, and {
| hasty examination was made to Sc,
| whether she was leaking. The steamship
| also slowed down, and within two minute!
| half a dozen tugs were circling about tn,
scene. Some of the Chicago's plankins
| and pieces of huge beams were floating
in the river nearby, and to those on shor,
| it seemed that the ferry boat must certainl!
| have had her hull torn up. This undoubt
| edly would have been the case If thu
| steamer had been travelling a little fastel
instead Of proceeding leisurely in tow.

Dixon md Critic Draw.

The arena of the new Manhattan Athletic
Club, in New York, was filed last night
with the wearers of the Cherry Diamond
and their guests, who gathered to see
George Dixon and young Critic in a ten
round go at catch weights.
Dixon and Critic entered the ring at 1O:25
o'clock, and the feather looked well, but
was twenty pounds heavier than Dixon.
Announcer Burns said after the tenth
round that the men had agreement that
If they were well and strong on their feet
at the end of ten rounds the bout would be
declared a draw. Tom O'Rourke jumped
into the ring and said the Critic party
would not agree to a decision. Critic then
said: IF it is to be a decision l will fight
five more rounds
The men went back to their corners and
the bout was declared a draw. The men
then left the ring after good deal of
grumblng on both sides.

HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY.
Joseph Sturgis, Orlando Jones' Sheet
Writer, Charged With BOOkmnlSinE.

Joseph SturHis, Orlando Jones' Sheet
Writer, Charged With BOOkmaking.
1t will not he very long now before the
question as to the legality of bookmaking
as conducted in New York is decided. A
test case on which the whole matter will
hinge was arranged yesterday between the
counsel representing the Westchester Rae
ing Association. on the one hand and the
Anti-Gambling League aided by Pool Room
Keeper Peter De Lacy, on the other, in the
Essex market police court
Orlando Jones agreed to act as Scapegoat
for his fellows, but 1T was decided to try
Joseph Sturgis, who was arrested for act
ing in the alleged capacity of Jones sheet
writer.
Detective Joseph G. Guerin, who arrest
ed Sturgis, was the first witness called.
He testified to having seen Orlando Jones
and Sturgis together under the grand stand
at Morris Park on the afternoon of Oc-
tober "a He saw two men speak to Jones,
and then, he said, Sturgis made an entry
Of 10 to so on Henry of Navarro in book
which he carried.
Mr.. Steinlrardt of the prosecution then
called on Jones to take the witness chair.
Mr.. Nicoll, for the bookmakers, objected
and told Jones to answer none of the ques-
tions put to him. Mr.. Steinhardt at once
read Mr. Nicoll little law and the latter
thought it better 10 dtHw in his horns and
allow Jones to stand examination.
Mr.. steinhardts questions all centered
istering of bets dis aim was to prove
that this book-which was in his possession
came under the- head of the ''parapher-
MALTA interdicted by the penal code.
Orlando jones Ien the Stand.
The witness testified that Sturgis acted
in the capacity of a ielerk. and recorded
the wagers made by him. He also identi-
fed and explained9a humber of entries OF
wagers made by him and recorded by Stur-
gis in the book, which was put in evidence
He claimed that ihe, was not a layer OF
odds, inasmuch as he occupied no stand
or booth, gave no, receipts for any wagers
he might make and received no money at
the track. VI
Asked by Mr. Steinhardt for his definition
of bookmaking he said it was the giving
of receipt in exchange for money wager
ed on a horse, the transaction taking place
at a regular stand or booth.
The last witness OF the day was Rob-
ert Pinkerton His testimony was unim.
portant, and, moreover. was cut short by
continued objections from Mr.. Nicoll, who
| insisted that Mr.. Steinhardts eXamina.
| ton was irrelevant and material.
