Tom Cooper Is forty pounds heavier now
than he was when he started racing In '93,
but is no greater in height. He has spread
out, and a comparison of the Cooper of old
and the latter-day Cooper in photographs
shows a remarka bic change. The change
in Eddie Bald since the days of '95 is even
more marked.

Jubilee JOts.
The railroads are generously advertising
their reduced rates to the jubilee in all the
papers reaching the people along their
lines.
Col Henry May is using all his strong in
fuence among society people in behalf of
the parade of fiower-decorated private
equfpages. His new . gun" which re-
quires a team of eight horses, will be one
of the vehicles in line. The name only indi-
Gates its capacity for carrying big load.
The committee on public health will meet
Wednesday, when all arrangements for the
care of any persons who may require ener-
gency attention during the jubilee will be
completed Seventeen an7bulences have
been already secured for the use of this
committee, which is composed exclusively
of physicians.

Street Cars to Suspend Running
During Parades.
FOR CONCERT

The national peace Jubilee will be in
augurated one week from tomorrow, and all
indications seem to assure the fact that
when it has been terminated the rational
capital will have abundant reason to be
proud of itself over another eminent
achievement in the list of its sue cesscs. The
intervening days will be busy ones for all
concerned in the celebration, but the en-
thusiasm, the energy and the harmony of
purpose that have actuated them in the
past are excellent guarantees that this
brief time will be repiete with successful
accomplishment.
The action of the various railroad nassen-
ger associations in giving reduced rates to
Washington for the event insures a great
throng of visitors who will see thu capital
of their country in its most beautiful aspect
and take away with them memories that
will never fade ard impressions that will
furnish food for gossip in countless neigh
borhOods. The substantial advertising of
prominent character which will be thus de-
rived from the jubilee celebration cannot
be estimated, and will undoubtedly serve TO
