the card being the Detroit derby, which
is likely to see some of the cracks of
the country face the starter. There will
be at least six starters in the derby,
and possibly two or three more Secre-
tary Palmer has received word from
both Charles Patterson and ]. c. Calm,
owners of Ornament and Typhoon II,
that the two stars will be here to race
for the prize. Both owners profess to
be anxious for another meeting of their
charges and for all time settle the ques-
ton of supremacy between them.
Since Typhoon's great race in the
Merchants handicap at st. Louis Sat
urday many horsemen have expressed
the opinion that Patterson is not now
so anxious to start Ornament against
TyphoOn again, but is willing to let the
element of uncertainty, which came out
in the Kentucky derby, remain as to
the relative merits of the two colts
However, he has wired Secretary Palm

If TyphoOn and Ornament are sent aft

hOrseman expressed it today, that eth

drive to the south bank of the river with
a load of manure and prepare to empty

A BOGUS SCHLATTER.
Man Who Claims to be the Alleged
Healer Appears in Cleveland.

Cleveland, June "a man who de-
clares that he is Francis Schlatter, the
alleged healer, who was reported to
have starved to death in Mexico, arriv-
ed in Cleveland today and is stopping a
a boarding house on Huron street. With
him is a man named Hollandberger, of
New York, who says they intend to
open an institute in this city.
1t is difficult to- prove or disprove the
claim of the alleged healer, because if
he is Schlatter he has shaved his beard
entirely off, but there is certainly
strong resemblance between his fea-
lures, and some of the published pic
lures of Schlatter. He laughed when
his attention was directed to the star
walton story and declared that he had
been visiting his mother at Bordeaux,
a few miles from Nashville, Tenn.
Schlatter says that at once he will en-
gage a theater OF church in which to
give clinics.

BIG RUN OF STURGEON.
It Brings Unexpected Prosperity to
the People of West Hampton.

the People of West Hampton.
West Hampton, L. I, June 9.-Nearly
every man here is working from daylight
till dark catching sturgeon. and nearly
all the women are canning the roes and
smoking the rest of the fish. It is a sight
to stand on the shore and watch the men
net the beautifully coIored fish. One end
of the net is fastened to the shore while
the other is lowed out to sea several huns
dred yards The sturgeon, which are
sporting and jumping about in the sea,
become entangled in the nets, and when
several are seen to be fast the net is
pulled ashore
The sturgeon, weighing anywhere from
10 to 300 pounds, are skinned almost be-
fore they are dead. The minute a female
sturgeon has been cut open the women
carry the roes away in pans. They are
very carefully canned. the remainder or
the fish is smoked in barrels turned into
miniature smokehouses. Nearly every
yard has a dozen or more of these barrel
smokehouses.
One woman, who stood in wet shoes
and stockings. her arms sunburnt to the
elbows, told the writer that she and her
could tell, about $500 worth of canned
roes and smoked sturgeon. If the good
fishing continues two weeks longer they
hoped to save between 81. 200 and 81 800
worth of marketable sturgeon.

NAVAL FUNDS GIVE OUT.
There is No Money Available to Fix
Up the Indiana

partment is in a quandary about the
Indiana 1t is desired to dock and
clean her. and in fact the regulations
required that this should have been
done months ago. Then there was no
dock available owing to the failure of
the New York dock; but now, with the
Port Royal dock ready for the ship, the
department is not able to do the work
for lack of funds.
It will cost about $500 900 to send the
necessary force of workmen down from
the Norfolk navy yard to Port Royal
to clean and paint the ship in dock,
but even this expenditure is too large
for the construction bureau to meet be-
fore the beginning of the next fiscal
year. so it is probable that the Indiana
must be at New York until that time
unfit for service in an emergency.
