SAN Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE Baldwin
Hotel stakes, sweepstake for all ages, at
six furlongs fell to the lot of J. Naglee
Burke today, the mighty colt Crescendo
winning so easily that the stake horses
contending against him looked like set
of the commonest kind of selling platers.
The starters were: Crescendo, Libertine
imp. Star Ruby, imp. Santa Bella, Installa-
tor, Belllcoso, Gallant and Pat Murphy.
Crescendo, coupled with Belli oso
was favorite at 3 to 2; Santa
Bella and Libertine being heavily
played at 4 to l. Star Ruby was
at 8, the others ranging from so to 100 to
1. When Caldwell dropped the flag to a
wretched start, Crescendo, Libertine and
lns allator were nalf dozen leng hs be-
hind the leaders, being almost left at the
post. Bellicoso, Santa Bella and Star
Ruby got off in the order named and ran
in this position until the head of the
stretch was reached. when Crescendo and
Libertine overlook the leaders. Crescendo
was hen given his head and drawing away
won in hollow fashion by three lengths in
the remarkable time of :13L for the full
six furlongs, which could easily have been
lowered had he been urged. Libertine Sc.
cured the place from Star Ruby by nose
in a furious drive. Imp. Santa Bella ran a
very disappointing race considering that
she was only carrying thine y-seven pounds.
Crescendo. after his impressive victory
today, is undoubtedly one of the best three
year-olds in tho country, as the track is
fully one second slow.
The one mile handicap resulted in the
closest finish of the year, Ferrier, Pepper
and Ed Kearney finishing noses apart in
the order mentioned. The judges OF the
Pacific Coast Jockey club have handed
down their decision in regard to Jackey w.
Martin and have ruled him off for thirty
days. An examination of Pepper has re-
vealed a bad cut, which proves conclusive
ly that Collins was cut down by Pepper,
the judges ruling that the fault was inten-
tioEally committed by Martin.
Four favorites and two second choices
won today. Weather cloudy; track fast;
attendance very large. Summaries:
Five fu-longs-Shield Bearer won, EN-
press of Norfolk second, Repeater third /;
time, :014.
Six furiopgs-Yankee Doodle won, Per-

THE NORTH TOPEKA SEWER.
Action on the Favorable Report of
the Committee Deferred.

Action on the Favorable Report OF
the Committee Deferred.
The question of a sewer in North To
peka provoked considerable discussion.
The committee which has had the ques-
ton under consideration for a long
time reported in favor of the Fensky
sewer which was first proposed, that
is for the two blocks west of Kansas
avenue and south of the Union Pacific
tracks.
Councilman Pattison wanted action
deferred because he said that some of
the people in the First ward had ad
ditiOnal matters to present to the coun-
ell and had requested that it be de-
ferred until they could be heard.
Councilman Drew, who is a member
of the committee was on his feet at
once. I'VE have had three or four
meetings. said he, and we have heard
all there is to be heard and there is no
use in waiting any longer. It is not
practicable to extend the sewer north
of the Union Pacific tracks as the en-
gineer has told US"
Councilman Pattison-It is the wish
of the people of the First ward to have
this matter deferred and we are not
asking anything unreasonable.
Councilman Burgess understand
that there is petition for another
sewer in the alley between Jackson
street and Kansas avenue. The people
in the First ward are in earnest. They
want a sewer and they need one and it
is time that something is being done
for them. We should wait until the
city engineer can make surveys 50 that
we may know what can be done.
Councilman Skinner think that the
matter can go over to the next meeting
without injury to any one concerned.
Councilman Nettels-The committee
and city engineer have thoroughly in
vestigated this matter. We found that
it was physically impossible to extend
this proposed sewer north of the I'm
ion Pacific tracks.
Councilman Elliott understand
that the people over there want to
build q main sewer.
City Engineer Barnes-It would be in
expedient to extend this Fensky sewer
north as has been asked. The First
ward should be in two districts, one
north of the Union Pacific tracks and
the other south.
Councilman Drew-There is no use in
referring this back to the committee
It has been thoroughly considered.
Councilman Warner don't believe
the people of the First ward want a
sewer unless they can connect with this
proposed Fensky sewer and unless they
can connect they do not want to allow
him to have the sewer built.
The report of the committee in favor
of the F'ensky sewer was then post
poned until the next regular meeting.

PREACHERS ALL seAGIN'' 1T
Twenty New York Preachers Sermon
ize Against Free Silver.

New York World of Monday intro
duces two pages of sermons by noted
New York preachers who have started
in to denounce Bryan every Sunday, as
follows:
It was a great day, a red-hOt day, for
politics in the pulpit A score of re
IStous teachers took up the theme of
Bryan and his platform and scored
them in most unmeasured language.
Large congregations drank in the les
sons drawn from the campaign. In
many instances the sermons were inter
rupted by applause, and in some cases
by expressions of anger and dissent.
In the first Baptist church the min
lister declared that gold was Gods
standard. For the nation to set aside
the better metal he said. Ito attempt
to exalt silver, when God himself has
drawn the line, would be to dilute vir-
tue, minimize honesty and lacerate
every hope of righteousness for which
this country might stand"
Rev. Thomas Dixon. Jr., character
lied the Democratic platform as stu
pid, ignorant and pusillanimOus," and
had would be interpreter escorted out
of the Academy of Music
Rev. COrtlandt Meyers declared that
the silver men were advocating an al
lance of a lie and theft Rev. J. L.
Scudder said that this crazy move
ment was a bold conspiracy of wealthy
mine owners to bluff congress" Dr.
Charles ;. Eaton deplOred the absence
of "A star OF patriotism to guide US,
and DR. Macarthur asserted that Wash
ington would quickly repudiate Bryan
ism and have something to say to
Bryan if he were alive today. We
never did as a nation pay IS cents on
the dollar, and with the help of God We
never will" said the Rev. Mr. Cadman.
The clergymen had no difficulty in
finding Biblical texts to preach political
sermons from. but one and all declared
that they were preaching the golden
rule and the ten commandments, and
d MED that their discourses were pari-

Tuesday next to spend the night in
decorating with flowers and roses the
trolley poles from the river to Tenth
street.
The Galveston ocean steamship being
built at the fair grounds by the city
of Galveston is beginning to look like
something. Two car loads of rigging
and a full stand of colOrs are now on
their way from Galveston and the ship
will be finished and full rigged by Mon
day.
A change has been made in the order
of General Manager Frey in reference
to the closing of the Santa Fe general
offices in this city Festival week. The
employees will now be allowed a half
holiday on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday afternoons, and will work all
day Saturday.
The 9-year-old daughter of H. S.
Montgomery, general watch inspector
of the Santa Fe, was severely injured
yesterday afternoon by being struck by
a horse while crossing the street on
her way home from school, No bones
We're broken, but the child's body was
badly bruised.
If Major Anderson has forgotten his
rash offer made in an unguarded mo-
ment to give $40 in gold to whoever can
guess who Don Quixote is in the big
Festival parade this is to remind him
of it. Major Anderson assured that the
character would be taken by a promi-
nent Topeka man.
There seems to be an idea in the
minds of a good many people that an
admission will be charged to the state
fair grounds during next week. Every
thing will be free as air to everybody
except Friday, when % cents will be
charged for the sham battle to all ex-
cept old soldiers.
At the last minute on Carnival Fri
day from 5000 to 5000 of our visitors
will want to put on masks and they
won't be able to find them in the city
The dealers in fancy goods haven't
risen to the magnitude of the occasion.
For instance, no plain black or white
masks, the kind generally worn are yet
to be had in Topeka.
There is a physician in this city who
believes he owes his life to bicycle rid
ing. Two years ago his health COM
menced to fail so fast that he made his
will and prepared to give up his ghost
at any time. A friend suggested that
he try cycling, and this advise he fol-
flowed as a last resort Today he is
one of the heaithiest men in the city.
A subscriber asks the State Journal
if any charge will be made to the fair
grounds on Festival week. With the
exception of Friday every thing at the
fair grounds so far as admission and
exhibits, contests, concerts, tourna-
ments and parades are concerned, will
be absolutely free to everybody On
Friday a particularly big attraction
costing considerable money in itself
a sham battle, bigger than anything OF
the kind in the west-wiIl be given and
charge of perhaps Is cents will be made
for civilians. Old soldiers will be
obliged to pay for nothing and with the
exception of Friday no one else win.
The charge Friday was resolved on by
reason of the fact that the committee
is something ike $4,000 in debt and
must find its way out. But it will be
worth it.
