drowned last Wednesday night while in

see the sights of the town. He took in
the Barbary Coast and finally wandered
out to the place where he met his death.
He was intoxicated, and at midnight

Harry Coleman and p. G. Lees, boat
men, Peterson called upon Bribery to
halt, but the soldier, fearing arrest, ran

SATSUMA RAN
SECOND IN THE
STAKE FEATURE
Was Beaten Handily
by Eddie Jones.
THORPE PIL0TED THE WINNER
RINGMASTER WAS OVERLOOKED
FOR THE HANDICAP.
Three Winning Favorites at Oakland.
Miss Marion in Front-Sam
Dannenbaum Not So Fast
as Expected.

1t was the opinion of nine out of ten
race-goers at Oakland track yesterday
that DR.. Rowell had first money in the
Mclaughlin stake already in his pocket
Satsuma could not lose. The distance
one mile and a sixteenth-suited him. the
track was very slow and heavy. and with
104 pounds UP there was no catching the
bald-face. OF the other four starters
Hugh Penny and Joe Ullman alone were
conceded a chance. The brown colt Ed
die Jones, with Thorpe in the saddle up
set all the wise prognostications. Thorpe
had his mount in front almost from the
first jump, and at the wire led Satsuma
out five lengths. Jones, on the latter
must have lost his bearings from the out
set for he rode very ragged looking
and uneven race. Rosinante, astride
which Jenkins had orders to pick the dry
going, travelled fully a furlong further
Ullman and Hugh Penny for the show.
Short-puEed horses started off well by
capturing the first three races on the
card. after which outsiders in the bet
ting held levee. The extremely bad go
ing was responsible for some queer-look
ing races, but only heavily muscled
equines could last out.
The hackers of Maud Ferguson, the
odds-on choice for the Introductory sprint,
were nearly afflicted with heart disease
before getting in line. Sanity struck the
stretch five lengths in front and was only
caught the last few strides and beaten
out head by the favorite. Pomptno ran
a fair third, the others following strung
out for half a block.
Galene, with Thorpe in the saddle and
to 20 favorite for the two-year-old
scramble, won in a walk. Getting away
to running start the Burns & Water
house youngster played with his com
pany. Miss Madeline, a racy looking f1lly
by Rio Bravo, succeeded in taking the
place from Kickumbob.
Barney Schneider furnished a piping hot
favorite for the third number in Miss Ma
rion. At odds-on the mare shook off
Genua at the stretch turn. winning eased
up Tempo was heavily played for the
place, in which position the chestnut
horse finished, three lengths in advance
of Genua.
Delegating Humidity to occupy the
place of honor in the betting on the six
furlong sprint, fifth on the, card, proved
a most unwise selection. The mare pos
sessed no speed whatever, finishing last.
Backed from to 219, Jerry Hunt, ridden
by Jones, led throughout Espionage
moved up from the rear, downing Wing
for second place.

Stnries Of TOlstoi,

After a visit to prison Tolstoi said
he always had the impression that the
social regime is alone guilty.
"My gardeners son." he said,
"asked the other day:
"'To whom do these lands belong?'
"'To the countess.
"sAnd those lands over there"
"'To the countess
"'And those lands still further
away?'
"To the countess.
"'But why should all these lands
belong to the countess""
And Tolstoi concluded: "That is
the idea of Justice. In its naive e1-
preston, it came forth from the mouth
of child"
One little story, told me by the gov
erness, will illustrate his way of deal.
ing with the children. His youngest
daughter, Sacha, pretty child often,
had come running into the house q
day OF two before with her arm black
and blue where peasant boy had
struck her; and she went, crying, to
complain to her father. He took her
on his knee and quieted her, and then
said: ''lf L were you 1 would go to the
pantry and get plate of sweatmeats
and take it out to him. Don't you
think that it will do him more good
than a whipping?" And he actually
persuaded her to do as he said.-New

The SalmOn's Nursing Period.

The salmon in Europe and the world
over is essentially fresh water fish,
three-fourths of its life being spent in
the rivers from its birth. It's migra-
tions to the sen are solely for its growth
and feeding, after reaching the adult
period of its life. After it has es-
capped from it's egg form its attached
food or nurse bag supplies it with all
the nourishment it requires for an
average period of about five weeks,
but this period is governed by the
temperature of the water; in warmer
waters it is sometimes only 30 days,
and in colder wafer 40 days. After
this self-nursing period the bag is alb
sorbed, and the fry begins to feed from
the mouth, aud in about 60 days ithas
grown to length of about one and
one-half inches, or double the size it
was when Matched. The pink spots
and the dark transverse bars OH the
sides (which distinguish the young
salmon from the trout species) are
visible. The growth is then compare
lively slow; at six months old it is
only about three inches in length, and
at y months four inches is the aver
age size. During the whole Of this
period these young salmon are seldom
seen by man, as they are very shy and
secretive in their habits, and, as a rule,
do not rise to the fly until they are
about IA months old. During this pc
riod they are known as "penk" in
England, "parr" in Scotland, and Fin
gering" in Ireland.

Some Doctors Big Fees.

Most doctors are happy if they can
get punctual payment of their half
crown fee, and it is only q comparative
few who can earn guinea or two a
visit. But now and again both physi-
clans and surgeons receive immense
sums from grateful patients. Sir
Morell Mackenzie made no less than
S65, 900 out of his attendance on the
German emperor.
Not long ago German doctor named
Prayer was given $50, 600 by an Indian
prince for a few days services. The
are of the Brazilian emperor.
Sir A. Clarke spent week attend
ing wealthy patient at Cannes, and
on coming home he was Immediately
followed by check for $780, But
he was so unworldly as to return it
and ask for payment of $3.50 only,
that. he said, being the full value OF
his services. The late Sir Ashley
Cooper, VIXEN visiting IN eccentric pa
tient, had a nightcap thrown at his
head. On picking it up he found that
it contained notes for S55, 900, and he
smilingly consigned it to his pocket.
But large as these modern fees are
they were surpassed in former times.
DR.. Willis, the medical attendant of
George III, was called to Lisbon to
treat the Queen Of Portugal for mental
disease. His terms were $50, 600 a
month, travelling expenses and board
for himself and suite and Sl00, 900 if he
succeed in ef1ecting cure. He was
received with all the honors OF royalty.

Congressman Eddy's snowshoes

Congressman Eddy Of Minnesota
OWLS pair of snowshoes, or, as they
call them out in his country, ''skees. "
During the blizzard Mr.. Eddy took
down the snowshoes from the wall
where they do duty as unique de-
coration, and fastened them on his feet.
Then he sailed forth from his home
OH Columbia Heights and was at once
the admiration and the envy of all the
inhabitants of that section.
While the rubbered and bootel and
leggincd population was struggling
down Fourteenth street, seeking the
railway track or any other track that
offered the path o. least resistance.
Mr.. Eddy was sL:mming along over
the drifts and down into the valleys,
like a bird in the air. His tall, sannt
figure was outlined against the sky,
but the snowshoes gave him the poetry
OF motion. Occasionally he would
loom up ut the top OF II drift ten or
fifteen feet in the air and then he
would sink down out of sight, between
two great hillocks Of snow. He went
with g eat spe ed, too. He had reached

painIess Suicide.

A man with coat off and long hair
flying in the wind, mounted atelegraph
pole at Cottage Grove avenue and
Twenty-sixth Street one day the other
week. From his waist dangled q
long rope. He attached the loose end
to one of the iron climbing spikes and
let himself down. Releasing his hold
on the pole he dangled in the air, sus-
pended by the waist. A policeman
from the Cottage Grove avenue sta
ton rushed across the street and cut
the man down.
.''What did you do that for?" he
demanded of the long-haired individ-
ual
81 wanted to commit suicide" was
the calm reply.
"If YOU wanted to commit suicide,
why didn't you tie the rope around
YOUR neck instead of about your
waist"
"Why, I couldn't breathe that way"
answered the coatless man, as though
astounded at the policeman's lgno-
rance.
The officer called the patrol wagon,
and the man with the football hair
was sent to the station. He proved to
be a demented patient from one OF the
hospitals in the vicinity. Chicago
