THE TRACK VAS SHORT.
Figures of six-Day Bicycle Riders VIII
 Have to be Cut.

New York, Dec. 12.-The managers of the six day contest that was finished last night in Madison Square Garden now admit fact that has been we'll known since the second day of the race that the track was short. To-day sur- veyors went over the course and al- though it was officially announced that the riders had not travelled full mile for every nine laps, just how short each mile was has not been given out. When Miller finished the winner of the race, 2,093 miles had been chalked up to his credit. It was learned that the to the mile. According to this Miller only made 2,014 miles, Schinneer by the new figures will have beaten Hales old record of 1910 by only 15 miles instead of by 90, as the nominal figures record ed last night indicated, while Hale him. self is considerably below his old mark.
 All the riders were seen to-day. They claim to feel no bad effects from the strain of last week. Manager Bunot had considerable to say regarding the two F,renchman, Rivierre and Stephane. He even went so far as to declare that no foreigner had fair chance in this country against the Americans, claim ing on this shore that men were in the race simply to pace some of the Ameri- cans. Regarding Rivierre's condition, he said that the Frenchman's leg was In bad shape, but that otherwise he was all right.
 One important result of last week s six day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden will be a stringent restrictive measure on long distance riding by the L. A. ". Hitherto these events have been conducted under the sanction of the l.. A. w.. but A. c. Morrison, vice president of the organization, declares that he will prepare and present at the next national assembly of the l.. A. w. an amendment covering the points so thoroughly that it will prevent any countenance of any such races in the future.

nip at tempting bait and to give the
angler fight for his tackle that will make

istneediess to say a word about the agil-
ity and gameness of the bass. Everybody
within reach of Tybee, or who has ever
had the pleasure of the acquaintance of
a Tybee fisherman, knows full well that
the thirty-pound bass at the end of a
siXty-foot line rove on reel and slender

fisherman in the land, including Mr.
Cleveland. The silver king of Florida, for
all his beautiful coat and abundance of

to the temptation he needs to be handled

When Charles Jarros finally makes up his
mind to die his relatives viii be able to
bear up under the blow, says a st. Louis
dispatch to the Chicago Chronicle They
have already gone into mourning three
times on his account, consequently the
novelty has worn off. Two years ago the
newspapers narrated the killing in a fight
at La Crosse, Wis of Charles Jarros. Ju-
Illus Jarros, who is stopping at the Ar
iington hotel, Seventh and Morgan streets,
had brother named Charles, who was
known to be in that part of the country.
julius concluded it was his brother who
was dead. A few weeks later Julius was
in Buffalo, N. Y. On the street he met
Charles, who tod him he was still alive
Last summer the papers again told of
the death of Charles Jarros. This time
he had been asphyxiated in a Brooklyn
hotel. He turned up. though, shortly
after in St. Louis. Last February julius
and Charles went south together. At Jack
son, Miss, Charles took sick. julius left
him there, thinking his ailment was not
serious, and went farther south. When
he returned to Jackson he was told his
brother was dead. A picture was shown
him and identified. He purchased tomb
stone and erected it over the grave. Then
he returned to st. Louis. To-day the two
met on the street. Julius was speechless.
He was in doubt whether the man before
him was Charles or his ghost.

tones.

ReIIrious Unity.

The three grand divisions of religious
sects in this country are the Protestant
the Catholic and the Jewish Setting aside
details, it is to be seen that these religions
rest upon a common basis-there is but
one God, the Father Almighty, maker Of
heaven and earth. While their modes Of
worship differ the underlying principles
of morals which they support are identi-
cal. Each division accepts the law trans
mitted to Moses on Sinai; each teaches
that the three chief graces are faith, hope
and charity, and that the greatest of these
Is charity; each inculc9tes virtue and
piety. Protestant, Catholic and Jew
agree as TO the love, mercy and justice
OF GOD, and His omnipotence and omni-
presence. They agree also as to the duty
Of His children to love and obey Him,
and to worship Him in spirit and in truth.
There is no diversity of opinion as to pun
ishment for sin and reward for godliness.
Christian and Jew look upon the decalogue
from the same point of view. and expound
it In very similar language
1t is very remarkable how close together
these differing religions really are. A
sermon in the Protestant church upon per
sonal or business morality or of duty to
God and fellow man, might, with all pro-
prieS, be repeated in the cathedral or
the synagogue. On these matters the
ideas Of preacher priest and rabbi run in
identical channels. There are many very
many, tenets of faith upon which the d.
visions are practically as a unit They
all labor to the same end, namely the
glory of God and the betterment of the
human race With such sameness of pur-
pose animating hundreds of thousands of
the brightest and strongest minds, the
country could not do otherwise than move
upward as it moves onward.

A couple of years ago Chicago man
who had certain aspirati tons in the line of
play writing disposed of his first play, a
heavy melodrama, to an actor, who prom
ised to bring the piece out properly and
give it grand production in New York
says the Chicago Times Herald.
But somehow the production" has hung
fire ever since. A few days ago, however,
he learned that the melodrama had been
doing service for several months in prov
incial, One-night towns, under a new title
In looking the matter Up he ran across a
broken-down actor who formerly played
in the piece and had been discharged and
floated into Chicago Naturally, the play
wright was quite eager to learn all about
his grand melodrama
(Which part makes the hit of the play?'
he inquired.
THE Dutchman," was the prompt an
swer
But there was no such character in my
play" exclaimed the Chicago man.
Il know. But we changed the lame girl
into a Dutchman to make the piece 60
We added a niger, too, and killed off the
heroine's father. The old man never had
a license to live, anyway"
But l hardly think that would improve
the melodrama," protested the author.
