TODAY'S EVENTS

The feature OF today's program is the
hurdle race. This will be the third
event or the card and will be for one
and one-eighth miles with four hur-
dles. Some of the best jumpers on the
coast are entered anG the race prom
ises to be a battle throughout. The
first harness racing of the meeting will
be seen in the 2:30 trot, the last race of
the DAY. Iss this event Pasonte was the
favorite in the betting last night and
will probably continue so. The Santa
Catalina Slide, a dash of five and one
half furlongs, will be one Of the best
races of the meeting. Chartreuse leads
in the betting and whevl the books are
opened today this horse will probably
be backed almost off the boards. In
Decision, Polish and Selkirk, however,
Chartreuse will have company which
will make a walkover impossible, and
which may produce some surprises.
The first bell will sound promptly at
1880 o'clock, as there will doubtless be a
number of additional heats in the har-
ness race, and it is desired to finish that
race today.
II is quite probabl that the 2:13 trot
which was to have taken place yester-
day and which will be one of the most
important events of the meeting, will
be set for Monday. This has not been
finally decided upon by the association
but efforts TO have it so programmed
are being made. Margaret Worth, who
is entered in both that race and in the
2:17 trot scheduled. for Monday, has been
allowe0 to withdraw from the 2:12 event.
as it would be impossible for the mare
to go In both races on the same day.
LAST NIGHTS BETTING
The following is the betting on today's
events:
First race, one mile, selling-Alvarado,
s25; Marquese, $40; Masoero, $40; field. $12.

The Only One.

He had wealth and fame, yet his
heart was lead within him. He reel
ed homeward as one stricken by n
great sorrow. Making his way to his
coy flat he opened the door and entered.
His charming wife called a greeting TO
him from the kitchen, where she was
too busy eoncocting dishes for his
pleasure to give him his customary
kiss.
But he answered not and groaned
inwardly:
"Alone, alonep'
Two little cherubs who called him
"papa" clamored for kisses, but he
pushed them roughly aside and flung
himself into a chair, still murmuring:
"Alone, alonep
As he gazed about the handsomely
furnished apartments it was evident
that they had no charms for his hag-
gard eyes.
Burrying his face in his hands he
groaned in agony of spirit:
"Merciful heavenl Can it be possible
that, in all this great city, mine is the
only family that did not move on the
first day of May?"
And as a realization of the awful
truth came over him he wept.-Chica'

The Old Foes Meet.

J. III. Wyman, of Chicago, went to
Newport News not long ago, and
while waiting for ferrybOat n strang-
er, man about Wyman's age, came
up and shared his seat. They We're
waiting for the same boat.
"You were in the Union army" said
the stranger, glancing at n button on
Wyman's lapel. "Where did you
serve?r
al was in the First Wisconsin
Heavy Artillery and put in a good
share of the time guarding the big
bridge over the Green river in Ken

"You did, twice helped to blow up
that bridge and was there when the
third attempt, which you fellows stop
ped, was made. IL was black night
in winter when we went up the third
time. There were only few Of us,
but enough to do the work if it were
done quickly and we could pass
through the Federal piekets. We
reached point 1903 yards south of
where We thought your picket line was
and was sent forward alone to locate
the line and find some place through
which we could pas. walked along

see absolutely nothing. All at once
struck dry bush and snapped a stick
under my knee at the same time.
Then rifle shot came from picket at
a point not twenty yards away and my
right arm was broken by the ball.
The fellow had fired at the noise and
made a good shot. 1t alarmed the
guards, and our third attempt to blow
up the bridge was u failure. Were you
there them"
"Yes," said Wyman. 81 am the
man who shot you. never saw you,
but heard the moving of the bush and
the breaking of the twig. After shot
you walked straight to the right for
about ten yards and then ran back for
your command.

Southerner.

Then they shook hands and took up
the journey together.

Useful Hints.

Flies dislike the oil from bay leaves.
1t Is not an expensive drug, and If q
very little is kept in dish on the win
dow ledge, or if the doors and window
castings are coated with any color Of
fresh paint, to which four per cent, of
oil of bay have been added, insects
will shun them.
Cinders make a very hot fire, and
one particularly good for ironing days.

If black underwear, equestrian tights
or stockings that stain are treated in a
like manner, the result will be found
very satisfactory.

the premises.
In hot weather brushes of all kinds
when not i'm use should be suspended

The best way to prepare new iron
kettle for use is to fill it with clean po-
tato peeling and water, boil them for
an hour and more; then wash the ket-
tie with hot water; wipe it dry, and
rub it with a little lard. Repeat the
rubbing several times after using. In
this way you will prevent rust and all
the annoyances likely to occur in the

SWEETHEART AND WIFE.

Ifsweethearts were sweethearts always,
Whether as maid or wife,
No drop would be half ~ pleasant
In the mingled dnught lie.
But the sweetheart has smiles and blushes,
When the wife has frowns and signs,
And the wife's have n wrathful glitter
For the glow of the sweetheart's eyes.
Iflovers were lovers always,
The same TO sweetheart and wife,
Who would change for the future of Eden
Tho joys OF this checkered life?
But husbands grow grave and SILENT
And care on the anxious brow
OF replaces the sunshine that perished
With the words of marriage vow.
Happy is he whose sweetheart
Is wife and sweetheart still:
Whose voice, as of old, can charm him;
Whose kiss, as of old, can thrill.
Who has plucked the rose to find ever
Its beauty and fragrance increase,
As the flush of passion is mellowed
In loves unmeasured peace.
Who sees in the step of lightness;
Who finds in the form grace;
Who rezlds an unaliered brightness
In the wiIchery ofthe face.
Undimmed and unchanged. All, happy
Is he crowned with such life;
Who drinks the wife pledging the sweetheart
And toasts in the sweetheart the wife.

The True Remedy.

"Chief," says: "We won't keep house
without DIR. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, coughs and colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we
used DIR. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our
home, as in it we have a certain and
sure cure for coughs, colds, whooping
cough, etc." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even if they are
urged on you as just as good as DIR.
Kings New Discovery. They are not
as good, because this remedy has a
record of cures and besides is guaran-
teed. 1t never fails to satisfy. Trial

Only a Woman.

There is living over in England at
the present moment a plain, simple,
rather commonplace old woman who Is
attracting good deal Of the worlds
attention. Her name is Victoria, and
she happens to be by the accident of
birth Qleen of Great Britain and Em-
press of India. There are millions of
brighter women i'm the world, but by
reason of the hereditary laws OF the
monarchy and by reason OF the man
ner in which rulers are selected she is
the most distinguished, the most noted,
the most powerful of her sex. She is,
also, by reason of these circumstances,
partly by reason Of her character and
bearing as well as by reason of her age,
the most illustrious individual in the
world. She is the beloved and respect
ed sovereign of all the millions of peo-
pie who dwell in the territories subject
To British domain in all quarters of the
world and in every zone and cline.
She is not only this, but, by reason Of
the fact that she was called to the
throne when very young, she has the
added distinction of having Teigned
longer than any other British occupant
of the throne. Not only that, but her
reign has been the most illustrious in
the history in her country, and has
witnessed the most marvellous advance
in arts, science, industry and litera-
ture.
This is the Goth year since she came
to the throne as Il young girl Of ., and
the people Of England are going TO
spend millions in the mammoth cele-
bration of the event which promises to
be memorable for centuries To come.
There is no question of the loyalty aud
devotion of the English people every
where TO their QIeen- In spite of the
spread of democratic ideas, there is no
doubt whatever of the stability of the
English monarchy and the eontinu-
ance, for the present at least, Of here
ditary rule.

THE PARADISE OF THE PACIFIC.

The question Is asked here every
day why do not more tourists
visit these i-Iands.7 Those who
ask it do not appreciate Or know
nothing about the many beautiful
islands In the West Indies, which
are as attractive a Hawaii. We
do not ike To admit that this Is
true. but it Is true. In St Thomas,
st. Croix, St. Kits, Martinique
and the Barbados there l. eXquis-
tie mountain and ocean scenery a.
diversified as any to he found on
these islands.
The tourists have taken a long
time To find it out, but they have
found it. Up to within recent
period, transportation was defective
and unpleasant. Now steamers adj
mirablv adapted for the purpose,
make monthly trips from New
York. touching at many OF these
attractive spots long enough for
the passengers to spend enough
time on shore, while the steamer
remains the floating hotel i'll which
they live and eat. The fare for the
round trip, lasting one month and
with the best accommodation, Is
about $3.50.
\ trip to these islands, taking

more, besides taking up much more

it because he cannot Exhaust 1t
in twenty visits. But a new class
of travellers is attracted by the
quick and cheap excursions to the
tropics. For this reason we cannot
expect any rush of tourists until
the Pacific Coast and Australia
have a larger population, and the
expense of travel in the Oriental
countries IS reduced. At the same
time we could increase our tourist
travel by judicious advertising A
good proportion of the people who
seek for new sights and sounds
follow the lead of active agents
armed with good descriptive read

The sad drowning accident at
Waikiki short time since has led
TO discussion of the advisability
of having surf guards stationed at
the various bathing resorts. The
shallow water and absence of
strong currents inside the reef
make the Waikiki Beach as safe
bathing place as could be lma-
gined. and the small number of
accidents have perhaps given too
great sense of security. The
men and women, boys and girls
who have been born and bred in
the country are as a rule good
swimmers and consequently run
very little risk under ordinary
conditions of the wind and wave.
With tourists however, it Is quite
different. While the chances of
fatal accident are very small it
will be to the advantage of the
country to use every possible safe
