WOMEN GET in FREE.
Harlem Race Track Gates Stormed by
Fair Sex

Chicago, Aug 29-The Harlem race
ing force consisted of about 800 women,
who were determined to get in the gates
for nothing or know the reason why.
They had not learned that women's day
had been abolished, and they were mad
clear through when the truth was known.
Ordinarily Manager Meters is a diplomatic
man: He has been indicted for being a
gambler when he never bet a cent on a
horse race in his life and has grinned and
borne it, but the mob of angry women
calling him fraud nearly sent him to
Dunning.
In desperation Meters pinned up marked
copies of papers announcing the abolition
of WOmens day. Then he talked and
shouted and argued and pleaded, all to no
purpose. The women stOrmed and Meters
protested that he was sorry to disoblige
them.
Among the crowd were half a dozen
with children. These sought the mana ger
and chorused: 1--WE always thought you
were such nice man, Mr.. Meiers.', The
manager weakened and capitulated.
Throw open the gates and let every one
of them come in" he ordered, and the
lovelieSt thing that ever nved.%

BECOMES A DEMOCRAT.
H B. Fleharty Goes Into 'sThe Big
Party as He Calls It.

H. B. Fleharty, deputy coal oil inspec-
tor, and until recently the governor 8
executive clerk, has turned Democrat,
and has made a formal tender of his
services on the stump to the Democratic
state committee.
In speaking of the change Mr.. File
harty said: 4 have studied the matter
thoroughly since Democracy took the
bold and intelligent stand that it did at
the Chicago convention, and have ar
rived at the conclusion that the Demo-
cratic party is the legitimate and ulti-
mate haven for every man cOntending
for reform and the rights of the people
to anchor. The Populist party is a
great organization and has done great
good for the people, but it's mission
ended when it educated the Democratic
party to its best ideas and best purpos-
es.
IF I thought the Democratic party
was not honestly and sincerely determ-
ined to follow the best lines of
thought advanced by the Populist party
I would still remain POpulist, but I
am confident that Democracy Is in the
reform business to stay, and I am with
it.
There is nothing in a name. be-
Ieve in going to the big party so long
as it represents my views, instead Of
bringing the big party to the little one.
The tendency of every reformer is to-
ward the Democratic party, and be-
neVe it is only a question of time until
all POpuiSts are Democrats. Not a
Democrat of the Cleveland stripe, but

QUEENS CARVER HERE.
Cutter of Meats-A Baronet Visiting
America.

New York. Aug. 2s.-There is no cause
to fear the Hereditary Grand Carver of
Great Britain for he left his cleaver and
meat ak behind. He will do no carving
while visiting this country.
Sir William AnStruther, the official
carver to her majesty the queen, for the
district of Scotland, arrived in New York
yesterday on the Umbria. 1t has been a
long time since he or his ancestors did any
carving. Canned beef has in a measure
done away with this important function,
but the title still remains.
A baronetcy goes with the carving job,
which is hereditary. The Anstruthers
have been expert carverS for three hum
dred years, during which time the joint
or fowl never escaped from the platter in
to the lap of the sovereign. The family
also holds the record in the matter of
gravy, not drop having been spilled in
State carving, is a very delicate task re-
ments are to make the white meat go
around and to avoid giving the tail end of
a T bone Sirloin to a diplomat. When
hash is served for breakfast the heredi-
tary grand carver is expected to appear in
his official uniform without looking fool
ish; When girded up for duty the carver
looks like rough rider with his belt full
of machetes.
II mas been many years since member
of the house of Anstruther in person ma
nipulated the state knife. The last func-
tlon was at banquet given to George
". in Holyrood castle. However, the
carving tools have been kept in good re-
pair.

WANT HIM TO RESIGN.
Georgia President of Travellers Asso-
citation Is Unpopular.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. Pc. E. Smith,
president of the Georgia division of the
Travellers Protective association, will
probably be called on to resign at a meet
ing in Chicago, but still holds his office in
Georgia It is charged that Smith sued
his post for SIS when he returned from the
recent convention at Omaha, that amount
being over and above his expenses. The
sum was paid rather than have a squab-
BILE over such small matter, but it in
creased the bitter feeling. The more seri-
Gus charge is that the Georgia delegation
to the convention was instructed to vote
soHdly for Wallerstein of Virginia for re-
election to the presidency, while Smith
voted five of the delegates for Duffin. This
and other actions has rendered Smith very
unpopular in many of the posts in Geor-
gia- The Travellers Protective asSocia-
ton men here assert that other and more
serious charges are on the tapis.

20 Yellow Fever Suspects Under
Quarantine Guard.

Laredo, Tex, Aug. 29.-According to
Mexican reports, twenty-six yellow fe-
yer suspects are held by the quarantine
guards at Eagle Pass, Tex. They came
from points in the infected district of
Mexico and will be held a sufficient
time to establish their freedom from
contagion.
Advices from Tampico say that yell
low fever situation is unchanged. For
eigners do not seem to suffer severely
from the fever, and only four or five
deaths have occurred among them. Up
to date there have been eighty-twO
deaths from this disease, the first hav-
ing occurred July 81. According to re-
ports this is not a bad record.
The quarantine at this point (Laredo)
Is very rigidly enforced against infected
localities in Mexico.

was facilitated by the glare of the steam

"BURIED GOLD" FAKE
Is Worked on Englishmen to the Ex-
tent of $4,000.

London, Aug. 29.-The English police
have ascertained that the Barcelona swim
dlers, who for years past have been run
ming what is known as the Spanish pris-
oner'' trick, have during the past six
weeks victimized credulous Englishmen
to the amount of $4,000.
This is owing to the fact that the
swindlers gave the air of truth to an old
story by setting forth that this particular
prisoner had buried a vast amount of gold
at Santiago to escape the rapacity of the
cruel Yankees. Money was asked to en-
able him to return to Cuba and unearth
the treasure, now that peace is restored.
All efforts of the British police in years
past to help break up this impudent gang
Of swindlers have been fruitless. There
is little doubt that the rogues owe i'm
munity to the fact that they share their
spOIls with the local police
