NO PLACE FOR HER.
Mrs. "sandy" Short is at the Mercy
Of the World.

What to do with Mrs Sandy Short. is
the question that is worrying the coun-
ty officials.
Mrs. Short is the woman with a past
who was sent to BedWelPs asylum
year or SO ago, craZed by morphine. A
few months ago she attracted atten-
ton, through a communication to the
Foster Humane society, to the fact that
she is no longer violently insane. She
demanded to be released from BedWell's
and was accordingly sent to the poor
farm. The superintendent of the poor
farm after a time demonstrated that
she was in condition to be kept
there, and said she made trouble among
the other inmates
The plan of allowing her her liberty
was tried in the hope that she would
find a, way to make her own living, but
remOnstrances Immediately began to
pour in upon the county officials.
There are only four places where she
can be kept. The state insane asylum,
which positively refuses to take her;
Bedwell's asylum and the poor farm.
both of which do not want her; and
the county Jail.
Application has now been made to
Probate Judge Dolman for an order
stating that she has been restored to
her right mind The application is
made by e. Mrs Ely, and Judge Dolman
and the county commissioners are in a
quandary what to do about it. Re
Gently Police MatrOn Thorp, who is Mrs.
Shorts guardian, has been boarding
her at a place down in the Second ward.

3-year-olds and upwards. On the other
hand, the average standard of quality
among 2-year-olds is unusually good.
Whether the best 2-year-olds of the
year, MesmeriSt and CharcOrnac, for
example, are entitled to be classed with
such of their predecessors as Domino,
His IIighness, Ell Rio Rey, fremont,
and the like, is of course open to ques-
ton.
But the point is that there is a. great
er array of useful horses among the 2
year-olds than has been seen in many
years.
This is being proved day after day
this fall. Never before have 2-year-
Olds been so extensively engaged to
meet old horses.
And the 2-year-olds are more than
holding their own in a way that would
be remarkable even if there were no
special reason for calling attention to it.
The special reason is that much fault
has been found with the humping big
imposts that W. S. Vosburgh, the Off
ciaI Handicapped, has been asking g.
year-OldS, whose class seemed no more
than fair, to carry in these events.
Take Kings Courier in Saturdays
six-furlong handicap, for instance, or,
even more notably, Lieutenant Gibson
in the Westchester Lightweight handi-
cap on Thursday.
Kings Courier was asked to concede,
under the scale of weight for age, six
pounds to a FLY of such class as Ad-
miratiOn, thirteen pounds to St. Cloud,
nineteen pounds to Belle of Memphis,
thirty-one pounds to Souchon, and so
on. Yet he won in a, rOmp, and, indeed,
was never in danger of defeat at any
stage of the game.
Lieutenant Gibson was beaten, but
only by a short head, and he would
have won in another stride or two. To
the winner, Richard J., who is undoubt-
eddy a smart 4-year-old, as times go,
he was attempting to give seventeen
pounds under the scale.
He would have succeeded, too, but for
the fact that he is not naturally a fast
beginner, and so lost his position in the
early part of the race and had too much
ground to make up after being shut
off. Furthermore, he had rather poor
luck in getting through when he made
his effort.
Instances might be multiplied. IN
deed, almost every time a 2-year-old
that has earned any serious title to
consideration gets a chance he shows the
older horses up in great shape. During
the current meeting at Morris Park, be
sides the cases already named, there
have been the races of Pupil and Nc
Meekin at five furlongs on October 4;
of Warning at six furlongs and Herbert
and Modrine at a mile on October 5;
and of McMeekin at five and a half
furlongs on October 2.

GIRL CARRIES A RIFLE.
Mabel Young Carries Fierce-Looking
Weapon In the Street.

Chicago, Oct 18-Adiss Mabel E.
Young, the plucky young woman who
carries a rife to and from her place of
employment, promises to make it re-
markedly lively for any of the tough
characters infesting the south side who
may think it a good joke to rob her of
both money and weapon some night
While she is on her way home.
The cause of Miss YOung's resorting
to the protection of a weapon was an
attack made on her as the result of a
remark she had made. AS she left
Klein Brothers store, 791-797 Halsted
street, Wednesday evening one of the
girls called to her requesting the loan
of a nickel.
I have nothing but a SO bill in my
pOcketbOOk,' she responded, and con-
tinued on her way. Evidently the re-
mark was overheard by one of rare
cupidity. She had proceeded but a short
distance when a man brushed past her,
grabbing at her left hand, in which
the young woman carried her purse.
Miss Young unhesitatingly dealt the
rObber a blow in the face. The thug,
having failed to secure the purse, made
a second effort and this time felt Miss
Young's muscular fingers scrape their
way across his eyes. The young wO-
mans resistance won and her aSSailant
ran. A crowd assembled and a hunt
was begun for the thief. Miss Young
did not Join in the search, but proceed
ed to her home, 6314 Washington ave
nue., where she sat down and thought
out a plan of protection. Selecting a
Marlin, she cleaned it carefully and fill
ed the magazine with cartridges.
Next morning when she left home the
rife was slung from her shoulder and
there was a look of "aim, ready, fire"
in her eye and jaunty step.
When she appeared in the street pc
destrians stared. High standing col
lars felt extra pressure and many a
near-sighted man rubbed his glasses.
Miss Young is in the employ of Swift
& Co, who have a pure food exhibit at
Klein Brothers store. Her parents live
in Wellesley, Mass She is a crack shot
with rifle, shotgun or revolver and has
also won fame as a fencer.

Assiduous German Must Serve Term

SHAMROCK'S ACCIDENT
Designer Blamed For the Lack
Of Endurance.
News Cleaned From the World
of Sports.
ACCIDENT

London, Oct. 1S.-The Daily News, re-
ferring in an editorial article this
morning to the contest between the
Shamrock and the Columbia. says:
I'VE are getting more racing than we
want at New York just now Our cor
respondent says the Columbia had the
race well in hand when the accident to
the Shamrock happened, and that her
captain proved superior tactician..
There was something prophetic in the
Yankee caricature of poor John Bull
toiling in vain to lift the trophy from
the ground
The Daily Mail says:
THE Shamrock's chance of winning
Thomas Upton will have the sympathy
of every true sportsman here and in
America in yesterdays cruel luck"
The Standard is inclined to think that
even without the accident, the Column
bia would have proved victorious as
she started in a worse position and yet
got ahead I'VE are sure" says the
Standard, 1.-The Americans would have
been more pleased to see the race sailed
out. 1t looks as though the Sham
rocks chances are gone"
The Graphic says:
Yacht racing is as much a test of a
vessels strength and fitness as of her
speed. The loss of a mast is equally
as serious a reflection upon the de-
SIgner, rigger or skipper as is a lack or
speed. The Columbia would have been
quite justified in claiming the race even
without the previous agreement. 1t
must be sorrowfulIy admitted that the
ShamrOcks chances are now very
SMALL
The Times says editorialIy:
mo blame attaches to any one for
the Shamrock accident. 1t looks as
though we must make up our minds
to leave the much coveted cup in Amer
lea until some one with equal sports
manlike spirit with Sir Thomas Upton
and more luck shall challenge again.
Whatever happens. we have the sat
isfaction of knowing that the trials Of
speed have been fairly and squarely
conducted without let or hindrance of
any kind. 1t is a, matter of congratu-
latiOn, too, that the races have not
given rise to any ill-feeling, such as
marred previous contests"

FUSS WITH sANTAFE.
Lambardi People Claim Damages for
Ejectment From Car.

There is trouble on between the Lam
bardi Italian Grand Opera company and
the Santa F'e passenger department It
IS the result of the company having
been elected from a Pullman sleeper
by the Santa F'e people at Newton some
time ago. The company was on it's
way from Pueblo to Wichita, and
through a misunderstanding over the
payment of Pullman fare, We're put
off the Pullman in the Santa F7e yards
at Newton instead of having the use
of the car into Wichita. The ejectment
was at night, and it is claimed that
the cool night air resulted in injury to
several of the principals voices.
Mr.. Fred COlVer, a. former Topeka
boy, who is managing the company, is
demanding settlement for the trouble
IN a higher amount than the company
is willing to pay, and a suit for dam
ages may result 1t seems that the
company was not wholly justified in
denying the company the use of the
Pullman into Wichita.

A MEASURE OF MERIT.
Topeka Citizens Should Weigh
Well This Evidence.

Proof of merit lies in the evidence.
Convincing evidence in Topeka
Is not the testimony of strangers;
But the endorsement Of Topeka peo-
pie
That's the kind of proof given here,
The statement of a Topeka citizen.
Mr. 0. H. Baker, of 121 West Seventh
street, JeweIer says: MY kidneys and
bladder troubled me for some time. The
principal symptoms were irregularity
and too frequent action of the kidney
secretions, frequently accompanied by
pain. This disturbed my rest nights
and I arose mornings tired and unre
freshed. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills adj
vertised and procured a box at Rowley
& Shows drug store, corner of Sixth
street and Kansas avenue. Half a box
cured me of the attack. Some time af-
ter there was a recurrence of the COM
plant and appealed to Doan's Kidney
Pills. They worked equally as effec-
lively as they did in the first instance.
