Just as Thorpe was growing tired of

drifted along. He had a well bred mare
with him which he called Belle K. Not
ing young Thorpe's ability in the saddle,
he engaged Charley to look after her and
ride her around in the fairs and bushes.
For three successive seasons the name
or Belle K and Thorpe were household
words In Nebraska. Since then Thorpe
mas been very busy riding for prominent
owners, without seasons rest.
AS his average mounts every year foot
up about 700, he has ridden over 1000 races
IN the last ten years, and perhaps 5000
more when all his bush races are counted
IN. His percentage of winning mounts
has been, according to Goodwin's Guide
one IN four, for he has won over l 700 of
the races tabulated, and nearly every
year was among the first flight of win
ming jockeys throughout the country.
No more popular jockey ever sat on a
horse. His honesty never has been oues-
TONED. Though very liberal spender
Thorpe has been prudent with his money
during the past few years and can retire
at any time to his home in Nebraska Sc

SLOANE A NEW MAN.
Quiet and Unassuming Since His
JotOurn in the West,

Quiet and Unassuming Since His
JotOurn in the West.
NEW YORK, March G.-Passing strange
Is the change in Tod Sloane, the most
widely known jockey in the world. He
returned to New York after a long holi>
day in the West. Somewhere IN the great
big West he left the snobbsh little fell
low with tense drawn face that horsemen
of two continents for long years have
known as Tod Sloane. He has come back
a new man-as quiet in dress as he ever
was I'm converse ton; as modest and UNI
assuming in manner as the quietest boy
in the town, and fresher of face and
healthier looking than he ever was before.
This Sloane horsemen who called on
him in the Imperial hotel, greeted with
pleasure. The celebrated Jockey has
many callers Not one of them failed 10
remark how much improved in health he
seemed to be since last fall, when he
passed through this city on his way from
London TO San Francisco. All were at a
loss as to what to ascribe the change
the glorious climate of California or the
chasJened feeling which must have fol-
lowed fast on the realization of the fact
that he was not the only Jockey in the
world, and that Lord BeTesford could af-
ford to dispense with his services.
When Sloane last passed through this
city on his way to England he was un-
der contract to ride the Beresford horses.
This time he IS unfettered. He Is not un-
der contract to any owner, English or
American. He goes to England to ride
as a free lance, always with the under
standing that Lord Beresford will have
first claim on him while he remains in
England. And he may not remain in
England long. If events do not shape
themselves 10 suit him over there he will
return to this country and ride the sea-
son out here.
Il am going to be a free lance this
trip" Sloane said last night. I'm not
under contract to ride for anybody in
England or in America. I think l will
do better free lancing than If 1 were un-
der contract. I will be able to select
my own mounts, and If 1 hold my form
I will do as well as If not better, than
never felt so well In my life before. My
trip West simply did me worlds of good.
l feel like a new man and am confident
that l will give a good account of my
self
mo, I don't think Democrat will win
the Derby" Sloane said, In reply to
question as to the chances of the Ameri-
can-bred gelding. 'I doubt If he likes
the Derby distance" he continued; 'fn
fact, I'm sure he doesn't. ] rather fancy
the chances Of the Prince of Wales Dia-
mond Jubilee. He is a good colt and l
think will show a liking for the distance.
But at this stage it's pretty difficult to

TREASURER'S ADVICE,

County, Wisconsin, Recommends
DOdd's Kidney Pills.
Used Them Himself for Kidney d.
seose-0ne BOx Permanently Re-
Iieved Him-TrustNvOrthy Advice
from n Trustworthy Man.

ELKHORN. Wis, March S.-The treas
urer of Walworth county, Mr.. w. II AL
len, has been the victim of kidney trouble
for some time, and his many friends were
getting anxious. Kidney disease is said
to carry of almost as large a proportion
Of the population as consumpt on, and IL
many of its forms it is often considered
incurable. The county treasurer, how
ever, treasures his friends that he Is now
in perfect health, he having been cured
entirely of his kidney disease by Dodd's
Kidney Pills
a correspondent waited on Mr.. Allen
recently and asked him for the facts of
his case.
Have YOU enti ely recovered from your
kidney trouble?" Mr.. Allen was asked,
after some preliminary converSauen.
Thanks 10 D0dd's Kidney Pills, I am
glad to say l have" r piled the treasurer.
i have tried many m, dic,nes in my time.
but Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best med
icine of the lot"
How long d-d it take for Dcdd's Kid
ney Pills to effect a cure in your case?'
Mr.. Allen grew emphatic.
Would You believe it?-one box settled
my case. Yes, sir one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills fixed me- after dollars and
dollars worth of other medicines had
failed"
Has relief been permanent?
Yes, entirely so, though 1 still take
them occasionally as a preventive against
the trouble returning. 1 know they are
the best medicine, anyway, and they ale
harmless at any time. But 1 have not
experienced any of the old symptoms,
sleepless nights, and so forth, since
finished that first box"
Then you recommend Dodds Kidney
Pills to other sufferers as a sure cure for
kidney disease?"
4 conscientiously can and do repIiel
the county treasurer. "Dodd's Kidney
Pills are positively the best medicine 1
ever took"
Your correspondent left fully convinced
of the curative powers of Dodd's Kidney
Pills in County Treasurer Aliens case,
at least.

1t is said one of the reasons why Iange

fused to raise his offer to So, 400. The friend
or Lange who received the letter said
that bill never did have any idea Of
coming back and that he has been
"stringing' Hart and Lotus into the be-

JOHNNY DALY's TRICK.

When Harry Sharp and Frank Crosby
fought their seventy -seven-round bat
tie at Nameoki, Ill.,, some years since,
Charley and Johnny DAILY were in Sharp's
corner. Johnny DAILY was especially OBJ
streperous. but was finally convinced by
the referee that it would not be wise for
him to instruct his principal from outside
the ring during the progress of a round.
DAILY could put O'Rourke to the blush
in urging his man to MAIN the other fell
low, but when he realized that the ref
cree meant business he subSided, and was
as meak as a lamb. During the progress
of the fight the Crosby men complained
that DAILY was tripping their man every
time he got over into the Sharp corner.
The referee caught Daily in the act He
warned him that repetition of that sort
of work would cost his man the decision,
and, knowing that it would, he desisted,
and from that time on until the finish
Johnny Daily was as we'll behaved as
though he was a model Of propriety. 1t Is
no job at all to control principals and
seconds-always providing that the ref
cree really means to control them.
WALCOTT'S CHALLENGE.
Joe Walcott, after defeating Choynski,
at the instance Of his manager, Tom
O'Rourke, issued challenge to any boxer
in the world to meet him in the prize
ring. He expressly stated that he pre-
ferred the big ones Naturally such
match as is contemplated In Walcotts
challenge Is not likely, as none of the
heavyWeights will pay any attention to
the black but at the same time 1t may
be said that Walcott would have chance
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-03-04

and mas tremendous punlSn1ng power.
While Walcott will likely be ignored, it
does not follow that he is making bluff.
He is probably willing to face any man
in the ring.
CHOYNSKTS COMPLAINT.
Joe Choynsh asserts that when he en-
tered the ring with Walcott he was physi-
cally incapacitated to do battle. Tom
O'Rourke says Choynski is begging the
issue, and that he was beaten by the
black fairly, and not because of Choy-
nski's physician bad condition. ChoynskI
physician fires a shell into the O'Rourke
kopje by announcing that he will stake
his professional reputation on the correct
ness of the claim made by Choynski, add
ing that the Hebrew boxer is suffering
from a broken rib, and general condi-
tion of anything but fitness for ring
encounter. ALI of which grows out Of the
recent engagement between Choynski and
Walcott, in which the former was defeat
ed after seven rounds of milling. The
general public will likely give Choynski
the benefit of any doubt that may exist.
O'Rourke's ability to jeopardize his repu-
tation for truth-telling is so notorious
that what the Boston eX-carpenter says
is always sifted for facts, with poor sue
cess.
TWO BIG MATCHES.
lALeTGSI III luS J6uTlGS-SOTDeLl meet
ing is at high tide at present but every
body seems satisfied that when Sharkey
and Fitzsimmons meet there will be a
battle royal. Sharkey has signified his In
tention to make a match with the Cor
nishman, and is telling how he hopes
to win by fighting the freak from the
sound of the gong. Another battle that
is attracting much attention is that pro-
posed to be brought off between Tommy
Ryan and the new aspirant for middle
weight honors, Root, OF Chicago. The
men are as good as matched, Dan Stuart
having secured the signiture of Ryan to
an agreement to meet Root before the
club offering the most attractive induce
ments. Stuart is to wager $500 against
$1,000 that Root will win. This will be
Ryan's final real middleweight contest.
Root is improving all the time and may
give the Syracuse boxer a run for his
money. Willie Green.

all of which, save a small balance, was
expended in one way or another. The
CLUB stock held outside the club has all
been taken up, and the organization is
perhaps as well managed and successful
as any cycle club in the Northwest. IN
questionably the success of the club is
due to the fact that its members are all
good fellows, and such a thing as rowdy-
ism is unknown with the Laurels. Its
members all go in for gentlcmanly ath-
letics, and its conduct Of the several race
meets In seasons past has Won the good

The Century Road Club of America Is
rapidly becoming ar,e important factor
among wheelmen, not only In the North
west but all over -thescountry. It is TAX
ing hold of wheeling matters with consid-
erable energy, and is already laying plans
for the coming season. Monthly meetings
will be held during the season, alternat-
ing between the Twin Cities. The Century
club is foremosts In alb matters that will
advance the interest ofTthe whee'men. It's
officers have co-opera$ed with the L. A.
w. to secure a cycle path from st. Paul
to Chicago. Two of it's members are rep

more for the city of st. Paul than any

explain the proposition of the Norfolk

at Lambert's Point. He said in sub
stance: Last year brought larger YES
sells here. The piers are too low to
reach the matches of such vessels. The
piers are lower than the vessels re-
quire for bunkering coal by gravity.
This causes delay in supplying vessels.
Still n more difficult class of vessels
are those which come for cargo coal.
These faults limit the business of the
large company. Piers must be turned
