BEATEN BY FIVE OTHERS

Chicago July 6.-The inevitable has
 happened. Robt Waddell has met de-
 feat. The great derby prize winner finish ed in the ruck today in the Great Vest
 ern handicap, one of the important long
 distance events of the Washington Park
 meeting. Waddell had up 122 pounds and
 was trying to give a big pull in the
 weights and beating to some of the best
 handicap horses in the West. The task
 was recognized by all well-informed race
 men to be almost hopeless one. Never
 theless Waddell was heavily played by
 thousands of admirers who had set him
 on a pinnacle quite outside the limits of equine ability.
 There was great interest in the handi-
 cap, the field being undoubtedly the best

$4 A YEAR MAKES HER HAPPY.
One Woman Who Finds This Income
 Enough for Her Needs.

There is one woman in New York who is rich on $4 year and is an ob- ject lesson of contentment in her daily life. She Is Miss Emily B. Elwell, ward No. 57, Almshouse, Blackwell's Island. The simple neeus of her existence are provided for. She has a roof over heal, food enough to eat and garments sufficient for the society in which she moves.
 Three years ago, when she had to go to the almshouse, she had but one haunting fear-that she would fill a pauper's grave. That fear has been removed. The money from which her moderate income springs will be ample to bury her.
 Miss Elwell was a teacher in the New York public schools for thirteen years. Her life was exemplary, her manner was gentle and ladylike, no body disliked her, but she was unfor- tunate. She had no influential friends, and when anybody had to be dropped

 The story of MISS Elwell's life be- came known to sympathetic woman, whose name is a secret to Miss Elwell, and this nightmare of her existence was removed.
 This unknown friend put into the hands of the officers of the Interna- tional Sunshine Society $100, to be de- posted to the credit of Miss Elwell in savings bank. The former teacher was to have the interest on that amount each year, and the principal was to be used to defray the expense of her burial.
