WASHINGTON, D. c., August 20
Secretary Root has in contemplation a
visit to the President at Lake Cham
plain. He has not yet finally deter
mined whether to go, but will decide in
day or two. The fact that General
Wesley Merritt is TO have a conference
with the President during the week,
combined with Mr.. Roots prospective
trip, has given rice to fresh rumors OF
possible change in the command of
the troops in the Philippines.

BOSTON, August 20.-The conclud-
ing races yesterday of the meet at
Charles River Park were only fair IN
quality and they dragged SO badly that
the last events were run in the dark
ness. In the open events the finishes
were generally good, but in the handl-
cap races the scratch men, as rule,
fell by the wayside. The mile national
championship professional and the mile
championship amateur were the big
numbers, but the former was slow and
the latter narrowly escaped being a
farce in the finals. Tom Butler won in
the mile professional, with Major Tay-
lor second, both riders showing Won
derful sprinting ability just at the time
when the race looked lost to them.
Jimmie Moran, of Chelsea, took the
amateur honors, beating out PEABODY,
of Chicago, by a few inches.
In the first named race the trials
were so slow that second men with one
exception were not started in the flnal
In the first heat Major Taylor won in
a sprint by a few inches alter he had
let the others lead him almost home.
Two of the Buffers each got a second
in the following two heats, but as that
in which Tom rode was fast the judges
qualified him for the final. There was
some disappointment that the three
Buffers were not up against Taylor In
the deciding heat. A PAGER was put out
and he carried the field of five lively
enough for two laps when Tom Butler
struck out to win, earning beautiful
lead, thereby finishing an easy first,
while Taylor fought out and barely de-
feated Carman for second place.
In the amateur mile between five
riders, a pacemaker was put out. For
two laps the men strung out at mod
crate gait, but in the third the men
were punched within weePs length.
Tallandier dropped out and on the
stretch four men fought for the tape.
Peabody crossed first. Moran protested
on the ground of interference and after
a long discussion Moran and Peabody
rode over again. Both neglected the
pacemaker and crawled at snail'S
pace for seven-eigths of mile. Then
both sprinted and Moran won by a
couple of inches amid cheers for Pea
body In the two mile professional
handicap, the scratch men, the Buffers
and Taylor, either lost in their heats
or had no show in the final from bad
handicapping. Frank Starbuck made
a beautiful twenty mile paced race
against Gibson, of Cincinnati, and won
through the latter's inability to keep
up to his motor pace.

THEY DON'T SEE 1T.
There Is Some Humor Which Women
Have Difficulty in
Catching.

Now, that species of humor some.
times described as ''rollicking," which
men complain that women cannot see,
is often more or less in the nature of the
practical joke-that is to say, it lies in
the matter rather than in the manner
1t appears, for instance, in much (by
nOmeans alD of the humor of Pickwick,
or in the farcical situations on which
the dramatists of the Restoration rely
SO largely, strong as they are also in
humor of different kind. The point,
if we must say so, is not infrequently
supplied by the fact that some one is
exhibited in more or less undignified
position. 1t may be freely and at once
conceded that women are not amused
by humor of this class. They think it
silly, undignified and often coarse, and
so far as the last Indictment is con-
cerned men do not contradict them
More than this, such jokes, like the
practical jokes that amuse boy, are
often enough not only coarse hut cruel,
and it may very well be that 1; woman
refrains from laughing at then not SO
much because her perceptions are dull
in one direction as because they are
keen in another. To see human being
made a fool of is too painful TO be
amusing. Moreover, she GOTTEN finds that
the joke consists in some tirae-honored
witticism against her own sex, sup
ported rather by tradition than by OBJ
scrvation, and if she has any spirit she
naturally resents it. 1t is curious evil
dence of the strength of custom, by the
by, this naiyette with which women
are expected to join i'm jokes against
themselves by men," as has been well
said in a different connection, ''incapa-
BILE of deliberate insult" But because
Il woman does not laugh it does not al
ways follow that she does not see what
she is expected to laugh at. a brother
once complained of his sister that she
could not see joke, and the criticism
was of course duly conveyed to her
no, l don't see any joke. i see what
amuses him, but you don't really ex-
pect me to laugh at that ?''--Cornhill

Points Of Etiquette

Engagement announcements should
be followed by notes containing good
wishes to the girl and congratulations
to the man.
AS a man can seldom accompany his
wife when she returns their wedding
calls, it is proper for her to represent
him by leaving his card with her own.
Well-bred men when calling in the
evening do not remain more than ar
hour.
A gentleman should look after his hat
and oyercoat without any assistance
from his hostess.
A gentleman should not call upon a
lady until he has asked and received
permission to do so.
A well-bred man wishing to cail
upon young lady usually asks if be
may be permitted the honor of calling
upon the young lady's mother and her
self.-Ladies' World.

The Sultan's officer Wanted to Arrest
Him for Writing Those Let
tiers to Gnlntu.

A comical incident at Constantinople
Illustrates what thin ice those who use
the press have to walk upon under the
rule of the sultan.
There is Greek benevolent society
in Constantinople which recently had
occasion to publish a pamphlet on it's
work, and on the title page there was
put quotation from st. Paups Epistle
to the Galatians. Very soon after it APP
peared polite officer came to the print
ing Office and demanded of the editor
that he should give him information as
to who this Paul was who had been
writing letters to the police of Galata
Zone of the suburbs of Constantinople) !,
as he had orders 10 get copy of these
letters and to bring the aforesaid Paul
to headquarters.
The editor explained that Paul could
not be brought to headquarters; he
was dead. But the functionary retort-
I'd that his orders were to bring Paul.
and. if he could not bring Paul, to bring
the editor. 1t was of no use to protest
that Paul had been dead for 1880 years:
the editor was taken to headquarters
and put in prison for several days. until
finally the Greek patriarch interfered
and presented the bureau of censorship
with a copy of the letter of Paul, which
he showed was addressed, not to the
people of Galata, but to a province OF
the ancient Roman empire.
This having been at |. ST rs,ade clear
