POSTPONED TILL TONIGHT.
Track Too Wet at Newly Oval for the
Big Machines.

Although the track seemed in fair shape
the stars and the majority of pacemakers
who were to take part in the big ten-nnile
paced race at Newly Oval did not care to
contest last night on the damp track and
consequently the "Plugger Bill Martin
Harry Gibson match will be run off to-
night. Unlike ordinary events, the paced
match requires triplets, quads and quints
and the men were doubtful whether they
could hold the turns.
The contest tonight will be for a purse
of 500 and there will be thirty men on null
ticycles to pace the contest. Martin and
Gibson will work out behind the pacemak-
ers this morning and this afternoon will be
seen in parade. Leaving the Denison House
at 2 o'clock, the stars of the big contest
will ride in a carriage, followed by their
teams of pacemakers. They will make
tour of the city, returning to the track in
time for the races. All tickets out will be
good for tonight, while the advance sale
will continue at Hills in the DenisOn
House. The gates will open al o'clock and
the races will start promptly at $780, The

the chief representative romantic actor on the

week, was at time the wife of Harry Morris,
the German farce comedian, now the husband
of May Howard of burlesque fame. Miss Boyd
was reported to be engaged to Tunis Dean, of this
city, now of Baltimore, two years ago, but il
was probably press agents story. She began
her stage career in the Kiralfy school and after
wards did a serio-comic turn at Tony Pastor
in New York From there she was taken for
the production of the Field of the Cloth OF

fore He Died.

While attempting to stop a runaway team
at the corner of Delaware street and Fort
Wayne avenue yesterday afternoon about
O'Clock. Charles E. Mitchell, young man
about twenty-one years old. was thrown
down and run over suffering injuries which
resulted fatally at the City Hospital sew
eral hours later. r
Mitchell has been living in this city only
about one week, and has been boarding
with Mrs. Kerr at 914 North Alabama
street, the last two days. He is employed
as a wire filter, and was returning from
work when the approaching team attracted
his attention. He stepped into the street.
and. as the running horses passed him, he
grabbed them by the bit. He was thrown
violently to the street. and both wheels of
the heavy wagon passed over his head. He
was not rendered unconscious. and, after
watching the course of the team out of
sight, walked slowly to his boarding place.
about one block distant. Here he told the
landlady what had occurred and remarked
that people ought not to leave their horses
unhitched. He then took a bath and dressed
for supper. During the evening meal he
suddenly became pale and was compelled
to leave the table, asking that a physician
be summoned. Going upstairs. he tainted.
but was soon restored. A doctor was OBJ
tanned, and it was deemed advisable to send
him to the hospital, though his injuries were
not then considered fatal. At the hospital
he rapidly became worse and sank into I'M
consciousness from which he never recov-
cred, dying at about o'clock.
Mitchell is comparative stranger in this
city. For several months he was employed
by man named Compton, a hardware
dealer Of Upton, and it was in that city
that he became acquainted with Mrs Kerr,
with whom he was boarding here. She.
with her husband and family, moved to
this city about two weeks ago, and Saturday
Mitchell applied to her for a room and
board. He was accommodated Sunday he
went TO Edinburg, where il is Thought that
his people reside, and did not return TO this
city until yesterday morning early. Among
his belongings was found a slip of naneT
on which was written ID. NJ Mitchell. Edin-

There was considerable Indignation among
the labor organizations yesterday ac-
count of the failure of the police to afford
proper protection along the line of march.
1t is said that some OF the organizations
will protest to Mayor Taggart over the fail
ure of the police officers to properly guard
the line of march. Aside from the platoon
of police that marched at the head of the
column, there was no police supervision
over the parade whatever. AT the most
crowded corners of the city there were no
police officers to keep back the crowds and
at many points the marchers were over
thronged and had to elbow a passageway
by main force, SO it is claimed One of the
marshals said that he only saw two police
officers along the whole line of march. On
Monument place there was not an officer in
sight and it was almost impossible for the
labor organizations to get through the dense
crowds. The street cars broke into the
parade at frequent intervals At the corner
of Capitol avenue and Washington street
one of the lamp men of the Electric Light
Company insisted on lowering one of the
arc lamps while the parade was passing, Sc
riously interfering with the marchers

ANIMAL BENEvOLENCE.
An Instance Which Shows That Dumb
Beasts Can De as Kind
as Men.

A herd of wild Asian buffaloes will
charge any foe, even tiger, to save
the life of one of their number who has
been wounded.
Elephants, balloons and other ami
mails will do the same thing in wild
state.
On the other hand, monkeys have
been known to fall upon one of their
number who is i'll and drown him, possi-
bly, as an act of mercy. Similarly,
wolves destroy one of the pack which
becomes helpless.
If an otter is trapped his brother OF
ters will run around him all night
showing the utmost concern.
A writer in the London Spectat tor
states that he has seen sparrows in
groups discussing and lamenting when
one of their number had fallen into a
trap. Next day when a robin was
caught the sparrows paid no attention.
He adds that he had seen big pig
try to help smaller one through a
hole in the fence paling by pulling at
it's head.

whose cat brought him some edible
bird nearly every day in the year.

INCREASE THE STANDING ARMY
Assistant Secretary of War Meikel.
John Declares Such Action
II Necessary.

George D. Meiklejohn, assistant Sec
retary Of war, expressed the opinion
that under the policy of territorial ex-
pansion, which he says this country
has perforce adopted as the result of
the war with Spain, decided increase
in the standing army is imperative. Mr..
Meiklejohn favors the increase of the
regular army to 100000.
"The present condition of affairs will
require this increase" he said: "This
must be done in order to permit of the
mastering out of the volunteers. The
volunteers should be mustered out, and
this cannot be done until the army IL
increased to 100000.
"By law the strength of the regular
army is fixed at 90 900 in time of peace.
The law provides, in time of war, the
army can be increased to $1,000. This
has been done. Now that peace is de-
clared the regular army must be re-
duced to its normal quota.
II believe the matter will be deter
mined at the coming session of con-
gress. I think the present conditions
require the increase Of the army to the
figure stated, and ! think the present
congress will pass law to that effect" :"
