SPORTING NOTES

At the race meet of the Park Bicycle Club
tomorrow evening the Australian pursuit
race for amateurs will be much more in
teresting than the first event of the kind
run off in this city, which was for profess
sional riders only six men starting. In the
race tomorrow there will be eight start
ers, all being stationed at points equally
distant from one another. As the race is
an invitation affair, the names of the men
to ride have already been selected, despite
the fact that the entries to the meet will
not close until this evening. The starters
will be j. E. Hanger, jr., Ray r. CogsweH,
w. H Harrington, Howard A. Rhine, John
Hill, n. H. Mannakee, James E. Alexander
and G. L. Miller.
These eight represent the pick of the
amateur riders in this city. Hanger, by his
work at Richmond Saturday and his ride
in the last race meet at the park track
has shown himself to be a front man.
Cogswell is the diminutive rider, resem-
bling little Michael great deal, whose
speed qualities have surprised all. Far
rington is another rider who has done good
work this season, while n. H. Mannakee
is the champion of the High School, hav-
ing won a one-mfle race for that honor at
the park track few months ago. Rhine
Is an old-timer, and formerly one of the
best trick riders in the city Alexander Is
another coming rider, who has played in
rather tough luck in previous races. Hill
and Miller both have ridden good enough
to score some points in The Stars table
of racers.
This race will be run on exactly the same
lines as the preceding event. The distance
is unlimited, and as soon as one rider over
takes another he must drop out. The more
men in the race the more interesting the
event
Ladies night will be observed tomorrow.
Just the same as on the preceding occa-
sions. Complimentary cards OF admission
can be obtained from the office of Mr. J. D.
Lasley, 14th and H streets or from Man
ager William Jose, 2125 Pennsylvania ave-

Reubina waiworth Dies.

New York, Oct. 19.-Miss Reubina
Walworth, the heroic nurse at Mon
tauk Point, died at the Presbyterian
hospital yesterday morning after a
1--WE weeks Illness of typhoid fever.
Miss Walworth was a Vassar gradu-
ate. When the war with Spain was
declared she left a school she was
teaching and took a course in nursing.
When the camp at Montauk Point was
established she went there as a nurse
and devoted herself assiduously to the
care of the sick and wounded soldiers.
When not nursing, she, with her moth
err distributed the supplies of the Re-
lief Association.
She worked so zealously and self-sac-
rificingly that she broke down. No ar
rangements have yet been made for
the funeral.

For thirteen years Mrs. George L. Rogers,
of West Main Street, Canton, N. Y, suffered
from the undesirable tortures of inf1am-
matory rheumatism.
Only persons who have been afflicted
with this disease know what such suffer-
ing is.
Those who have never felt the pangs oi
this ailment have not the remotest idea Of
Its tortures.
For years this was an obstinate disease
to cure.
In recent years, however, there has been
formulated remedy which successfully
copcs with 1t.
The many cures effected by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People attest to that fact.
One Of the striking examples Is Mrs.
Rogers experience.
In speaking of it to reporter she said;
Thirteen years ago was attacked with
inflammatory rheumatism and a comp1ica-
ton of diseases.
~ cannot begin to describe my sufferings
during that time.
"You can judge somewhat Of what
endured, when you look at these hands,"
They were distorted, twisted and swollen.
"My foot, too, is so much out of shape
that the big toe lays across the others, the
end touching the little toe.
Notwithstanding ! am sixty-five years
old, have pleasant home and other COM
forts, life to me was far from enjoyable, for
all other things pale into insignifieance when
you are without good health.

THE WAR INVESTIGATION.
DIR. Maus Says There Was No Suffering
Among the Sick.

| Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 19.-The war
| investigating commission began the
examination of witnesses at Jackson
Vile yesterday. using the office room
| of General Dodge's private car for the
| purpose.
Colonel Louis NJ. Maus, chief surgeon
of the Seventh army. corps, was the
| first witness sworn. He said there was
only small field hospital when he ar
| rived in May, and there We're very few
sick men. Sickness developed yer,
slowly and there was very little of Il
until July. When the oRler came fol
the establishment of division hospitals
there was some delay in getting sup.
plies, such as tents. There was no suf.
fering among the sick. Still they die
not have the luxuries that they did al
the beginning of the war.
Nor added the doctor, do think
| that the history of the world has ever
seen a parallel to our present care OF
| the SICK
Taking up the present condition of
| the hospitals he said there were three
hundred trained nurses now at work
here. He said the employment of these
| nurses had proven satisfactory.
Replying to question, DR.. Maus said
| that after the first few days there had
been no refusal of supplies and that all
acquisitions had been filled with excep-
tional promptitude. He had never seen
such an utter disregard of expense in
caring for sick soldiers. AS a matter
| of fact the troops had a greater allow
ance of rations than they could use or
dispose of in any way.
He also said that the Red Cross So
ciety had given so much that it was
often unnecessary to ask the govern
ment for supplies. There had been no
restriction in the matter of fitting out
the camps.
He thought typhoid had been intro
duced to the camp by Mississippi and
Virginia troops. Shallow wells and
surface drainage had done much to
increase the scourge, but he was conf
dent that the regular water supply OF
the city had not been In any way re-
sponsible for it.
He also thought the flies had done
much to disseminate fever. From the
beginning very strict attention had
been given to the sinks. He had never
in his life seen such attention given
to sanitation in a camp, but despite
this care typhoid did break out and had
become the principal sickness here.
DR.. Maus said that he had found it
difficult to prevail upon surgeons in the
volunteer service to learn the duties
of their position. AS u matter of fact
these duties were extremely onerous,
and for this reason the volunteer ply
sicians We're not so efficient as they
should have been.
Later on sanitation became the prln-
cipal duty of everybody about the
camp. Much trouble has been expert
enced in keeping the public from the
hospitals. In many cases they had sur
reptitiously carried food to the sick.
Mr.. Maus also 6welt upon the newspa-
per reports of the sufferings in the
camp, saying that they had generally
grown out Of exaggerated statements
from the men themselves,

Fear of small Pox at Ithaca.

Ithaca, N. Y, Oct. 1s.-The board of
health of Cornell university, of which
Professor James Law is chairman, has
promulgated an order requiring every
student who is Ill, or becomes i'll, to
report at once to the physical director,
IDr. Hitchcock, for examination, that
his ailment may be properly diagnos-
ed.
This action is taken on account of
the prevalence of smah pox in this
county. The village of Mclean, where
the disease is epidemic, is only ten
miles from the university. and is WIS.,
tied to some extent by students, and
the board is fearful that the disease
may be spread among them.
There are now twenty-five cases OF
small pox at Mclean.
I Upon reporting to DIR. Hitchcock stu
dents will be taken to the Office Of the
health officer Of the city of Ithaca to
receive a clean bill of health or the
opposite.

The grand Military and Naval review,
Civic and Industrial Parade, rededi-
cation of independence Hall restored

yelling of Gen'l Grants Monument
will all be well worth seeing, rememb-
cred and talked of in future years.
The appropriation of Fifty Thousand
Dollars by Philadelphia City Councils
and the guarantee of as much more
by the Citizens Committee, over half
of which has been already subscribed,

ments whereby Excursion Tickets to
Philadelphia from all principal points

Madrid, Oct. 19.-The Heraldo says
that the minister of marine has taken
preliminary steps to claim damages
from the Creusot gun foundries of
France for not delivering within time
certain war material ordered from
them.
Damages will also be claimed from
the Placenia arms factory for the same
reasons, and the British firm of Thomp-

ground that the torpedo boat destroyers
built in their yards for Spain failed to

leaves Of absence granted to such off,
GERS are to date from the day of their
arrival in the United States, and will
be considered as terminating on the
date of departure from this country to
return to their commands.
Any other rule, of course, would
