mann, the head Of the racing stable for which
he is under contract to ride this season., and
had a long chat with him regarding the horses
and their engagements. He did hot ask for his
release, but on the contrary expressed the great
est willingness to do nl In his power to land the
colors in front wherever the stable makes an
entry. He was gratiled to learn that he has .
prospect Of q mount in almost all the important
stake events and that there is q little likelihood
OF his percentage being mnrrod by
During the afternoon. Sloan also called on
James Il. Keene and told his version OF the run
ming Of 81. Cloud II. in the Cesarewitch and
Cambrid geshire abroad last fall. He also out
lined his present and future plans for Mr..
Keene's Information, but mado no formal en-.

1t Is thought, however, that the interview indi-
Gated n desire on tho part OF Mr.. Keene to &C.

returns to England next fall. Sloan soys he
will be only too delighted to accept n Reene
mount whenever he is free to do so, either here
or abroad.
As a result of his talk with Julius Fleisch-
mann, Sloan may start to-day for Milestone,

under the eye OF trainer Tom Walsh. The let
ter is expected in town to-day and he and Sloan
will discuss ways and means.

Stand Steady Now.

The opportunity to form yuur own nnin-
ions concerning wholly new matters affect
ing our Nation is about to be presented.
Issues overshadowing, for time at least and
probably for decade or more, the tariff,
the currency and civil service, will grow out
of our relations to other nations, due to the
Spanish war; they will not overshadow them
simply because they are new, but because,
until definitely determined and fixed policy
adopted, they will be intrinsically weighter'
Politicians will try to make it appear that
on these new war issues the parties already
have we'll defined policies. but the real party
leaders and the real statesmen will rs yet
make no such claim. Such a claim made
today, dare only be made before such as do
not do their own thinking and is DIN absurd
ity. Reserve then to yourself the inherited
American right 70 respect your own opinion
and to be guided thereby. Await the full
development of the new issues; study them
in all their bearings; hear full discussion of
the different possible views and thus solve
the new problems TO your own satisfaction
and when convinced of the correctness Of a
principle, the soundness OF proposition or
the wisdom Of policy, espouse ii, without
reference to old political associations, or
other considerations than those of your own
manhood as embodied in the privilege that
you enjoy, the right to aid by your counsel
and your vote in furlhering the best interests
of your native land.
Politicians: stand aside, events are IN en-
6ryo, at the birth of which your quack hands
must not assist: let that be the motto Of
every manly American

Rejoice in God who gave

Thy fond and earnest care,

HEAT AND CRIME.--Thc records Of June,
July and August again show that heat,
suicide and homicide 60 hand in hand, and
while criminologists may not agree, the facts
are there. 1t is notable, too, that hot weather
suicides are mostly young and healthy per-
sons, which little thought will show is not
remarkable after all. Weak persons stand
heat with more resignation than others.
The casu ! observer will notice that the
stronger the constitution tile greater is the
Irritation caused by unusually warm weather,
cXrrp, in exceptional cases. 1t IS this irrita.
ton that in some leads to suicide and in
others TO homicide, A vigorous and nor
'lja!ly peaceful citizen becomes quarrclsome
Ill: nerves give away under the strain of
prolonged heat and he becomes excitable
irascibe. If a man has only the respect for
law that fear gives him, this is the time
that private vengeance will assert itself If
he has grudgc against anybody, he is likely
to seek his revenge while in this state of
mind. 1t is the same with those who have
Il suicidal tendency which has been lying
dormant. The irritation caused by the heat
develops it. No matter whether criminoio.
gists disagree or not, the hot weather always
brings its wave of crimc.-Philadelph
