Jockey Club Stewards Strike Sc
we're Blow mt Exposition Races.

New York, Dec. 27.-The statement
that the jockey clubs stewards have
decided to outlaw all the owners,
trainers and jockeys who continue to
participate in the running races at
the Charleston Exposition was Of
ficially affirmed at the office of the
jockey club to-day. 1t has been said
that the decision of the governing turf
body in the matter was not reached
until after the horsemen had applied
for an opinion as to their standing If
they should race at Charleston. One of
the officials of the jockey club said to-
day that the horsemen were warned
before they ever went to Charleston
and were informed what the conse-
quences would be if they raced there.

Drinking Electricity.
From the New York Press

Electricity is life some one said,
and many thousands of folk in half
health have been experimenting with
it in various ways. Now comes upon
the stage a man who says he drinks it
in water and it has made him ten
years younger in a twelvemonth. 1t re-
stored his teeth. his sight, his hair, his
loss vitality. What miracle next? He
declares that a glassful of the water
as he prepares it will produce suf-
flcient electric force to ring a small
bell Verify, in this century we must
be prepared to believe the incredible
and accept the impossible.

WILL howl FOR A CHAIR.
Contest Tonight at the TomOchichi
Clubs Alleys.

The bowling contest among the mem
bers of the Tomochichi Club for the
handsome rocking chair offered as
prize by one of their number will take
place tonight at the bowling alley. For
several weeks a score board has been
posted with the names of the members
who have made scores of more than
$50. There are more than fifty names
on the board, and all of these are
eligible to contest. 1t is not probable,
however, that all will compete, as more
than half that number will recognize
that they would have no chance against
the most expert bowlers.

In discussing the Boer war and the attitude of the United States toward the principal actors in it d writer in a New York paper says it was the in tention of the promoters of the war to form a gigantic gold trust. He says that since the free coinage of sil- yer had been stopped in India, and that the enemies of the white metal had triumphed in this country, the way, therefore, was clear to forming a huge gold trust whose possibilities daZzled the imagination and stimulated the greed of the multi-millionaires who have merged several syndicates into one of huge proportions which, if everything goes well with it, will in a few years be in a position to regu- late the money supply of the world.

Democratic senators are now call,

1 Democratic senators are now called upon to decide whether the ship sub- sidy bill. which is again the ''unfin- -ished business of the senate, shall pass or shall fail to reach a vote. It was admitted by friends and foes of the bill, says one writer. that if the democrats choose they can easily pre- vent its being voted upon. The course of the democrats is not yet certain. There are two sides to the question. Some contend that on general princi- pies 1t is the duty of the democratic and populist senators, as representa- tives of the people, to defeat such q vicious bill while others are equally confident that as a matter of party policy the democrats ought not to stand in the way of the placing Of such q millstone around the neck of the republican party as this subsidy bill would be likely to. prove, if al lowed to become a law.

Cattle GFovers in the ArEe ntins Re- public, Paraguay and UruSuay ThSkatsn Our Supremacy as
 Beef Purvey0rs.

There are those who fear that South America is destined to supersede the United States as the great provider of beef for the world. Each year South America increases in importance as rival to the United States as producer of beef. There are now in the Argen- : tine. Paraguay and Uruguay fully 3O,- Oo5 .00d cattre; in the United States A. ooo,UOo. While the cattle ranges of the United States are becoming more and more restricted each year, there are in the three South American countries named vast regions suitable for cattle raising which have not as yet been utilized. In Texas now the cattle no longer roam over vast ranges, but are practiea ally kept in pasturage, the graz ing grounds being inclosed in miles upon miles oh wire fences. The old-tme cowboy, too, has become largely a 'fence rider" patro1ing the outside ot the inclosures to see that the fences are not broken down and that the cattle are not lost, strayed or stolen. Many cowboys are said to have gone to South America, where they have taken up their old free life alon gside of the na-
 
 In Paraguay large region called the Chaco has just been opened up to stock raising. It lies in the north west corner of Paraguay, between the Par aguay river, q navigable stream, the Pilcomayo river, and the Bolivian n boundary. The climate is healthful, and though it is warm there in summer. it is never as hot as it was in New York las1 summer.
 The prairies are clothed with va riety of good grasses, and the Chaco lands are aclln owledged to be the best fattening grounds in all Paraguay, Good land can be bought in Paraguay for $1,000 league. and one league will support 1000 cattle, and two herds ot 1000 each can be fattened on it in a year. All the expenses of raising cat tile there are ridiculously small com pared with the expense in the United States. A man can put steers on the

 Slowly but surely the railroads of the country are travelling toward one mammoth trust. Every big deal like those recently put through by Pierpont Morgan in the east and Hill in the west, brings the big trust nearer.
 Cuba will send representative del egation to Washington to ask congress for a reduction in the duties on Cuban products, hut they will probably get nothing but the trip for their pains. as the republican leaders will consent to 10 reduction.
