nal reporter.
Mr.. Sheldon again smiled and shook

While Mr.. Sheldon refuses to say any
thing about the proposed continuance
of the Topeka Daily Capital along the
lines he has been publishing it this week,
it is known that he is heartily in favor
of the plan. He modestly expresses the
belief that his retirement from editorial
charge will have no effect on the sue
cess of the paper if it is continued as a
Christian daily.
HUDSON HAS $1,000 CONTRACT.
Gen. J. K. Hudson when first apprised
of Mr.. Popenoe's determination to con-
tinue the publication of a Christian
daily last night was very much ex-
cited To E. L. Bertrand, one of the
newspaper correspondents, Gen. Hud-
son said:
Il have a contract for $4,000 per year
for a stated number of years in which
it is stipulated that I am to have full
editorial management of the Capital
and shall control its policy and do not
propose to conduct the paper as a
Christian daily,''

IN THE STEPS OF ST. PATRICK

Germ the figures of distant times; and to
trace their steps as they move vspory

OF several things regarding the man
who is known today as st. Patrick we are
certain. First, that he lived about three
hundred years after Christ-many cyclic

in the sunny land of France.
France is today to a great extent

be evenly remotely attributed to ST. Pat
rick is doubtful, though his chronielers
have tried to make it so. But the fact
that Ireland is the strongest Catholic
country in the world. is largely due to
the influence of the man who lived there

NEW ORLEANS DERBY.
Great Stake Race Today With Sidney
Lucas and F. w. Brode Favorite.

New Orleans. March 17.-The Crescent
City Jockey clubs long winter meeting
will close this afternoon and the event
will be signalized by the running of the
fourth Crescent City derby. The field
will not only be the largest in the his
tory of this event, but will be superior
in point of class. Horses entered in all
of the big stakes both east and west
will contest for the prize and so well
has each shown in preliminary trials
that the race is decidedly an open one.
The field probably will line up as fol-
lows: Knight Banneret, lis, (Wink-
field; The Conquerer, lis. (Boland);
Sidney Lucas, lis {Clawson); Sir F'itz-
hugh, 115, (MitchelD; Prince of Verona,
I15, (McJoynt); Lamplighted, lis
Knapp; F. w. Brode, 122, IT Burns)-
Today's early betting indicated that
Sidney Lucas and F. w. Brode will go
to the post about equal favorites. The
public has a line on both of these, as
well as upon Prince of Verona and Sir
F'itzhugh. Lamplighted and The Con-
oueror have not as yet made an appear

Patrick was born a devout Christian.
He believed in the life and death of the

who were among the early Christians,
told him the tale of Christ he listened
and drank in their teachings, gradually
growing up in belief in the Word OF
God.
