Queer Names for Horses.

Turfmen evidently believe there's moth
ing in a name," or else they would not
force their race horses to carry titles that
seemingly have little sense to them. A
score card at race track comes nearer to
Chinese laundry list that anything else
printed in an American office Long, unpro-
nounceable names are attached to trim little
animals and yet the horses run with as
much ease as if they had been entered in
the unnamed class. IL. -,
Few people, except those who follow the
racing column from day to day, are aware
Of the awful names that are given to racers.
Just think of rider urging a horse
up the stretch and tenderly calling him
HuitzilopacttH' Yen an animal handi-
capped by such a title, ran second at the
Empire City track week before last, and
last week landed third in a big field Of en-
tries at AQueduct. "Prestidigitator'' did
not fare so we'll and was classed with the
also rams. Think Of a horse named THE
Monday. On the track with him were the
Lone Fisherman, Midnight Chimes. Quite
Right, Gold Lace, Novelty, Little Darling
Unsightly was also there and doubtless his
name was deserved but why should an ami
NAL be called Double Dummy, or Pincher?

Unprecedented Fame.
Vin0l, the New Form of
Cod Liver Oil.
CAUSES SENSATION IN MEDICAL CIRCLES.
NOT ONLY IN AMERICA. BUT IN EUROPE.

Good news goes fast" said Mr.. Henry Evans
-sterday. talking to a reporter about that won
derful Vinol, concerning which so much is heard
pcwadays. why, you know that besides being
talked about In New England many of the prom
inent papers in America are devoting more or less
space to this wonderful discovery See here what
do you think of tbis:" Whereupon Mr.. Evans
produced article from the Lancet of London,
England
The Lancet is the greatest medical publication
In the world and anything appearing in its col
umas is considered indsputable evidence. LET
me read this to you," said Mr. Evans. II won't
bother you with much of it, but here is enough
to show you what the great of the old world
think of Vinol," whereupon he read the following:
Recent Investigation has led to the isolation
of several distinct bodies in cod liver OIL notably
amongst which the alkaloids. These principles
have been tested faithfully and the results form
the subject Of an exclusive report by Gautier and
Mourgues in the Journal de Pharmace, who con-
clud, that the combined active principles of cod
and assimilation, and show definitely the nature
of the principles to which the oil owes its valuable
medicinal properties
'And the best part of all this is" continued Mr..
Evans, 1T is not only the physicians that are
enthusiastic, but the people who are taking the
remedy. After all, l do not blame them much,
either. 1t does not take but minute for any one
who is obliged to take cod liver oil to find out
that Ninol is tasteless. Then the patient soon
realizes its advantage. 1t does good much more
quickly, and accomplishes the desired end in a
Tucn more marked manner than cod liver oil in Its
crude form ever able to do. oh, yes, of
course l consider the of Vinol assured.
How 1t be otherwise-a discovery that has
reyolutionized the form and made it practical to
prescribe the greatest known medicine for all vast
ing diseases
Just think what it means; getting all the bene
fits in concentrated form, and more nau
seating, vile-smelling grease. Yes come any time
you -ould like to me. I always glad to
SEE you about Vinol, and find out more to say in
its praise every day 1t

A little woman who works in a downtown

Wearily against the front door Of the car.
Suddenly she was jerked violently aside, as
handsomely gowned young woman swept
in with naughty air. Ten different pairs OF
masculine eyes surveyed her surreptitious-

simultaneously from behind their papers
and offered her a seat. She sank into one

Intimidation of Witnesses.

1t is scarcely credible, but 1t Is absolutely
true, that these men dared not complain to
the police, for If any Of the gang were ar
rested and punished the bookmakers feared
with good cause, that they would be "outed''
by the survivors.
One of the principal reasons why these
criminals organize is for the purpose of in
timidating witnesses
The trial of the boy Darcy resulted in
this system being exposed, but no benefit
has followed, and in the districts of London
given over to Hooliganism very few people
dare to either prosecute or give evidence
against known Hooligans.
1t should be understood that the mem
bers of these gangs are perfectly well
known to the police, and that they enjoy
comparative immunity, owing to the diff
Guilty Of finding people sufficiently cour-
ageous to prosecute or give evidence against
them.
ENCOURAGED by the example Of their elders
in crime, the latest feature Of Hooliganism
is the formation of gangs Of criminally dis
posed lads in their teens, who commit
depredations largely from wantonness and,
inspired by penny dreadfuls, give their or
ganiZations meodramatic rules and titles.
To suppress them under existing condi-
tions it may be frankly admitted, Is a very
difficult task. Imprisonment and f1Ogging
simply add to their renown among their
associates and harden them in their bru-
tality.
Any one who has ever come into contact
with these individuals recognizes that they
have hardly any perception of right or
wrong. Their memories save for faces,
are extremely defective. The writer has
met quite a number Of criminals of this
type who were quite uncertain concerning
the number Of convictions they had under
gone.
To reform such characters by either five
months or five years Imprisonment under
existing conditions, even when accompanied
with a 'bashing," Is absurd. Something
more efficacious is wanted.

HOOLIGANISM IN LONDON
HOW 1T AROSE AND TO WHAT 1T IS
TENDING.
Young Criminals Who Band Together
for Protection From the Police
Present Mode of Punishment.
From the London Express.

From the London Express. 9
AS the nights grow longer and the season
of fogs sets in, certain districts of London
are periodically given over to the reign of
organized ruffianism, known as Hooligan-
ism. Day after day the papers contain ac-
counts of brutal outrages, which frequently
terminate fatally, robberies, and fierce fac
ton fights between rival gangs of roughs
and 1t Is no exaggeration to state that
in various localities the respectable inhabi-
tants are abso utely te1rorized by these law
less and dangerous associations.
The manner in which these gangs became
known as Hooligans is worth noting. Some
few years ago two powerful combinations
of criminals existed in the Waterloo Bridge
road, who subsisted as race course thieves
In the racing season, and by levying black
mail.
Catching a Tartar.
The robbery of pedestrians by night was
their pastime, and growing reckless by
their long immunity from punishment five
members of the older gang, which was led
by young rough of criminal ancestry,
called Darcy-who was, a few years ago,
sentenced to death for stabbing a man in
Oakley street. and afterward respited on
the ground of his youth-actually attempted
to rob Frank Slavin, the famous pugilist,
late one night he standing at a
coffee stall close to Waterloo bridge.
On this occasion, however, although they
tried to out him with their loaded belts,
Savin was more than their match, and four
out of the five received terrible punishment
from the stalwart prize fighter.
The second gang was organized by
notorious ruffian named Hooley, and in
tense rivalry existed between his followers
and Darcy and his gang.
Fights between the rival gangs were of
frequent occurrence. and most brutal and
apparently unprovoked assaults upon in
dividual members were frequently COM
mitted. Even women, who were known as
the pals of criminals in these organiZa-
tions, were not spared by their opponents,
and several of those seemingly rurposeless
assaults on women late at night, which
characterized the locality Of Stamford
street, were due to the rivalry that existed
bet ween these gangs

ALLIES MAY COME TO BLOWS.
Paris stirred Up Over British Action
Respecting Shanghai.

Paris, August 20.-lt being now felt
here that the legations are certainly
saved, attention is already turning
to other phases of the Chinese prob
lem, which are thought sure to give
rise to international jealousies of a
most dangerous kind. England's in
tention to land troops at Shanghai
awakens considerable bitterness in
France. England has all along pre-
tended to be acting in the interests of
Europe, and the London Times reit-
crates this pretention in leading
article. But the French papers de-
clare that the English motives are
purely selfish.
The Debats, for example, said last
night: ut is very significant and
almost grave fact that England has
offered to lend the yiceroy of the
province of Wuchang e 10000 for the
payment of his provincial troops"
1t is said the viceroy in question,
Chang Chin Chung, has agreed that
the English troops may land, if no
other nation attempts a similar pro-
cedure; whereupon France reminds
England that the French also have
interests and concessions in Shang-
hal and that nobody can prevent our
landing troops there if we wish"
England is furthermore accused of
reviving the spheres of influence"
policy in China lat moment when
all the powers seem agreed on the
open door plan"
Germany has sent several ships to
Shanghai and the arrival of French
and Russian warships is announced
There is a report here that Eng
land has decided not to land her
troops, but to send them instead to
Wei Hal Wei. In a discussion of the
subject the Chauvinist paper, La
Press. heads it's article "The Anglo
French conflict" and the Patrie SINH
larly. From the French standpoint
in short it now looks as if when Field
Marshal Won Waldersee arrives in
China he will find the allies fighting
among themselves.
