SUBURBAN HANDICAP
TO BE Run ut sheepshead Bay To'Morro"
Afternoon

Afternoon.
New York. June 20.-The candidates
for the Suburban handicap to be run
al Sbeepshead Bay on Tuesday next
have been sifted down 10 ten starters.
One nv one the horses have fallen by
the vavside and the four top weights
gave it up some time ago. This leaves
Pc, Brush as the colt with the highest
imnost and will have to shoulder 123
mounds. He is in such fine condition.
however. that he is likely to be the
favorite from this time out.
Belmar is the next in weight, and his
121 mounds looks like a staggerer, as
he could get nowhere near Ben Brush
on Saturday with 11S pounds up, al
though he was badly ridden. Halma
comes next with 100 pounds, but as
he had to be driven and fogged on
wednesday last. carrying 112 pounds
he heat Brandywine at mile in l; 42A'
if seems as if his chances are poor.
Howard Mann, at rs pounds, ana
The Winner at lis pounds, followed
and one or the other will represent
Pittsburg Phil with Belmar. The Win
ner's second race, the Metropolitan
handicap. was good enough to make
him a strong choice, although few
expect to see him beat Ben Brush.
Howard Mann is, of course, the faith
Of the stable in case of wet track, in
which that colt is at home. 1t would
be strange if Sir Walter were not in the
big handicap. as he is next in order
with rs pounds on his back.
Dutch Skater is next in weight, with
1OS pounds. and is looked upon as hav-
ing a fair chance, but he will be fig
ured as an outsider The light weights
are Lake Shore, 1914; Havoc, 1902, and
Volley. 90. and many are inclined to
think that the race lies here.
The field is not the best 10 go to the
post since the Suburban was begun,
but there is promise Of good race,
though not a new record.

RALWAYH HOSPITAL CARS.

The greatest novelty in foreign
railroading is the hospital car, de-
signed to serve double purpose. In
the event of a serious accident, these
cars can be run to the place of the
disaster, where the injured may be
picked up and carried to the nearest
large city for treatment rather than
left to pass long hours at some way
side station while awaiting surgical
attendance. 1t also enables the rail-
way companies at certain seasons or
upon special occasions to transport
large numbers of invalids to health
resorts or places of pilgrimage.
The interior of the car is divided in
to main compartment, corridor to
one side and two small rooms at the
end. The largest comp artment is the
hospital proper. 1t contains "a iso-
lated beds. Each patient lies in front
of two little windows, which may be
closed or opened at will. Each bed is
provided with little movable table,
and a cord serves to hold all the va
riOuS small objects which the patient
may require. TIE corridors on the
outside lead to the linen closet and
the DOCTORS apartment.
Various trap doors in the floor,
when opened, disclose to view an ice
chest, compartment for the disin-
lection of soiled linen, and provis-
ion cellar IF noceSSarV a norton of
the hospital chamber may be trans
formed into an operating room for
urgent cases. Finally, as customary
abroad, small chapel for religious
worship is provided. This car will be
put in charge of surgeon and nurses,
and will be chiefly used to carry in
valids from Belgium direct to the
health resorts of France.-Bdltinaor

before that body in which he insisted
that cannibals are exceedingly strong
and vigorous, far exceeding in strength
those tribes not addicted to such food.
He said that the savages who abstained
from human food rarely ate meat of any
kind and were puny lot. The most Gu
rious part of his argument was that the
flesh of women was much more digesti-
bic and far more nutritious than that of
men. Many tribes recognize the fact
and eat only women until the supply
gives out.

MuSSu1manS.

The term Mussulman is a corruption
of Muslin. 1t is synonymous with Mos
lem, believer in the Mohammedan re-
1igion. The termination, imam, " is not
used in the ordinary sense of that word
as a noun, any more than it is in the
term German. We do not speak of
''Gernen, but of Germans. Byron used
the term "Mussulwoman, but he did
so jestingly. A correspondent of lead
ing New York paper, however, in 1851,
wrote seriously about Master Abdul
Hamid, Mussulboy, who was to be
educated at Paris. This '.Mussulboy"
afterward became sultan Of Turkey.
