TWO OUTSIDERS GOT IN,
Myron and Bohemian Lass Won
Without Much Sup
port.
FAvORITEs IN THREE EVENTS
Toano Was First in a Big Gallop.
Hello Beat Arundel a Nose IN
a Sensational Finish.

The unexpected downpour Of belated
April shower did not seriously impede
students of form in picking winners at
the track yesterday, for they were down
with both feet on three of the five winning
horses. The card was an abbreviated one,
there being but five events TO be decided.
The two outsiders that escaped the wise
division were Bohemian Lass, who took
the two-year-oId dash at odds of Is to L,
and Myron, winner of one of the skate
events with to l about him.
The finish 10 the steeplechase over the
regular course was the most sensational
one for many moons. In drive from the
head OF the stretch Hello, the to 5
favorite, and Arundel, backed from to
TO /. ran like team, the first choice, rid
den by Clancy getting the decision by an
English pug nose.
M Ramsdelps gelding Myron, who
was never of much account except in
muddy going, was rather overlooked in
the betting on the opening fve-furlong
scramble, the books laying to l against
him at the post time. Ike Johnson got
him away in front and after q tussle with
the second choice, Oracle S, beat the mare
out at the wire by two lengths in 1:0454.

TRACK AND PADDOCK ITEMS.

Ike Johnson, on Little Cripple, luckily
got in before the winning horse was auc-
toned off.
MY country, it's of thee; Jockey
Henry Smith rode an s to favorite in
America.
Mr.. Bagot, the gentleman rider who
had the mount on The Lark in the
steeplechase, experienced bad fall at the
Jump in the hollow, but he escaped with a
severe fracture of his high starched collar.
At the last Ingleside meeting spurious
tickets of admission were disposed of by

Company working in the lithographing-
room were quietly purloining the desired
coupons and dealing them out to friends
on the outside to dispose of. A porter
in one of the prominent hotels
was found with a supply, as well as
one or two handicap "spielers' that
the gate Chief Ticket Clerk Nav, who
made the discovery, states that Secretary
Leake of the Ingleside Association has or
dered all of the old tickets in, and the rich
bonanza will probably be failure at the
coming meeting. No arrests have been
made in connection with the case.

An island in the gulf Of California is
inhabited by queer human beings. The
Ceris, without doubt, arc ono Of the
most interesting tribes Of aborigines to
be found ON this hemisphere. They are
said to have fair skins and blue eyes
and bear no resemblance whatever to
the Indian tribes of the mainland or Of
the peninsula In former days they
made excursions upon the mainland,
spreading havoc along the coast, but in
later years they have kept closely to
their island home They arc extremely
fierce and warlke and use venomed ar
rows in fighting. The island is known
to be very mountainous with innumer-
able rugged canyons and gorges, where
the Indians ambush and which renders
subduing them almost an impossibility.
Beyond the fact of the existence of the
Ceris tribe very little is known. Their
habits and language are said to be pc
culiar to themselves, while their origin
is a subject Of conjecture. The island
shows no sign Of vegetation from the
gulf, and their method of gaining a sub
sistence is unknown. Shippers cruising
in those waters carefully avoid this is
land peopled with blue eyed savages
and its rugged outlines, which loom vi
| in the gulf, are shrouded in mystery. =

cInnMY -ANn nRPREssING.

Though we believe that the deposit
ton of the Sultan might be accom-
pushed. and yet the status quo be
maintained, we feel very little real
hope that the powers will agree to such
a course. They will, we fear, take the
line that the deposition of the Sultan
might mean armed Intervention, and
that armed Intervention by six powers
might lead to jealousy and confusion
and so might imperil the peace of Eu
rope. In fact, they would argue
what is the massacre of 5000 Arme
mans compared with the interests of
European peace?" If, then, England
can neither obtain the partition OF
Turkey nor the deposition of the Sui
tan, what is she to do? Is she to sit
down and let the spectacle of massacre
and outrage go by without moving? It
is a terrible alternative, but we fear
/ she must. If she alone were to send
/ her feet to Constantinople, she would
probably secure nothing but the hatred
/ OF Europe. Suppose our feet to have
/ forced the massage of the Dardanelles tC
/ be anchored in the BOsphOrus
| and to have delivered an ultimatum tC
| the Sultan. If we took this action il
opposition to the Powers, they woul'
| probably advise the Sultan to resist
| What could we do then? We might
| lombard the Seraglio and the city, bu
| with little effect After we had bonn
barded Alexandria, we found that W.
had an instant need for an army t
occupy the streets and keep order. Bu
Constantinople is a city OF a millioI
people, and to keep order would re
quire an army of at least 10000 men
But the idea of landing 10000 men il
the teeth of a united European oppOsi
ton is absurd. Even If the power
only offered a passive resistance, W
should find ourselves in an intolerabl
position. Clearly it would be impos
sible for us to take action alone. An
other alternative would be to retire al
together from the Concert of Europe
and to throw the blame entirely on tn
other powers But this would be no
only dangerous, but a blow to tn
cause Of the Armenians. AS long as W
keep in the Concert OF Europe, we ca
do something to help the Christia
subjects OF the Porte. AS the exampl
OF Crete shows that something ma

THE HEART AND THE BLOOD.
Views of Scientists who Differ With Uar-
vey's Theory ON Their Relations.

Views of Scientists Who Differ With IIar-
vey's Theory ON Their Relations.
Do you know that some Of the very
best physicians in the land are far from
being satisfied that the heart is the or
gan which causes the. blood to circulate
in the veins and arteries? The theory Of
Harvey, which maintains that the i'm
pulsive stroke Of the heart is "the sole
motive power" is disputed by persons
who know more about blood circulation
in a minute than he ever did in his life.
Various causes for the phenomena Of
blood circulation are assigned by the
different students of the subject, but
the majority of those who differ from
Harvey say that the true cause of circu-
iation is to be found in respiration.
That function brings carbon into the
lungs. This carbon mixes with the
venous blood, the mixture forming the
true fuel Of animal life. The oxygen
which is also taken into the lungs with
every breath mingles with the carbon,
and a slow form Of combustion ensues.
Wherever combustion is going on heat
is evolved In this case the heat is com
municated to the blood, which is Eboui
seven-eighths water
The lungs being in partial vacuo and
having a temperature Of at least 80 de-
grees above that required to change wa
ter into vapor (when the water in ques
tion is in a complete vacuum), steam il
generated. This enlarges the volume o.
the blood and exerts specific force
The valves on the right side of the hear
close against this force, whilo those o.
the left open to give it free passage
Thus, according TO this theory, the tru'
motive power is produced which frs
causes and then keeps up the circulation
Of the blood.
When this theory is elaborated, it i
very conclusively proved that the hear
has nothing whatever to do with tn
| circulation cf the blood but to deter
1 mine, by ils valves, the course Of tn
current and, by the mechanical fore
of the stroke, to equclize the flow. st

DANGER OF FATIGUE. ~
1t Generates a Poison In the System That
Is Deadly In Its Nature.

Is Deadly In Its Nature.
'He never loses a moment" used to
be thought an unqualified compliment
Now we are not quite so sure that 1T
says much for the wisdom Of him to
whom it is applied. From many differ
ent directions comes the testimony that
too much activity is loss instead of gain,
since overfatigue poisons the physical
system.
An analysis has been made Of the
poison engendered by fatigue, and it
has been found to be similar to the an
cient vegetable poison, curari, into
which the Indians used to dip their ar
rows, and a most deadly poison 1t was.
The poison Of fatigue is of the same
chemical nature and is as truly deadly
il it is created more rapidly than the
blood can carry it off. There is no
known antidote for this poison, and its
dangers beset alike the pleasure seeker
and the worker.
An Italian physician recently exam
ined 24 bicycle riders after they had
ridden 80 miles in ~ hours. 1t was
found that in nearly every instance the
nervous system was SO far affected by
fatigue that the hearing Of the cyclists
was defective. After rest.of two hours
most Of them could hear as well as ever.
Another practical test was made upon
90 grammar school children who were
TO take part in a written examination OF
30 hours. Before entering upon the
strain which such an examination must
necessarily be each child was instructed
to lift as much as he could with tho
dynamometer. This was done to test the
muscular strength of each pupil before
the examination.
After the work in the schoolroon was
ended the children were again told tC
lift as much as possible in the sam'
way. 1t was found that, with one o.
two exceptions, they could not lift al
much by several pounds as they haC
! lifted before the examination.
1t is now demonstrated fact tha
prolonged mental strain will diminisf
the pulse, produce fullness and heavi
ness Of the head and bring about palpi
tation of the heart. Youths Compan

CURFEW SHALL NOT RING TO.
NIGHT.

Some Wilmington women who are
anxious to be the mothers and moni-
tors of all the children in the muni-
cipality propose to introduce in City
Council an ordinance having for its
object the retirement to their homes
of all children at an early hour at
night and their arrest if found upon
the streets after that hour.
This sort of paternalism will not be
tolerated in Wilmington, where every
father and mother claim the right to
regulate the hours and movements Of
their children and resent interference
with their domestic rules and arrange
ments.
The women who are back Of the
curfew movement mean well enough,
but they have a mistaken notion as to
what constitutes their own business.
City Council is composed Of men who
may be depended upon to see that this
ordinance goes the way of all other or
dinances which are aimed to promote
officious and official invasion of the
home circle and interference with par
ents in the exercise of those preroga-
tives which properly belong to them.
A father or mother does not wish tc
go to the City Hall and get a police
permit every time it is deemed neces-
sary to send child on the street afte
a given hour at night. The ordinanc
Is not worthy of serious consideration

THE MAJORS LATEST.

The interview with a member Of the
Wilmington Board of Trade, printed
on our front page to-day, is worthy
of careful perusal. 1t is not compli-
mentary to Major Raymond, but is ap-
.parently laden with facts and reason
able differences pointedly put, and they
demand earnest inquiry by those Della
wareans who are most affected.
The kernel Of the interview is that
about one million cubic yards of ma
terial dredged from Schooner Ledge
and Cherry Island flats WILL unless
steps are taken to stop it, be dumped in
the Delaware channel between Della
ware City and Fort Delaware, instead
of being placed above high-water mark
in some place or places where it would
be of permanent benefit in building up
lowlands along the Delaware.
Before permitting Major Raymond
to go too far with the work of doing
that which he was virtually stopped
from doing when the government
called him to a halt on the Liston's
Point dyke, the people of Delaware
City and vicinity should make it theiI
business to prevent this building of a
waste OF mud between them and the is
land opposite
Those who were so indignant over
the dyke have more cause to be indig-
nant now, for the present menace is
apparently tinctured with official re-
sentiment and spite.
