WINNERS AT HARLEM.
Miss Bennett Makes Fast Time in
Six-FurIOng Dash.


CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Miss Bennett. the
7 to 20 favOrite in the third race at Har-
lem this afternoon, was forced to run six
furlongs in ~ 3-5 to beat Burnie Bunton
a nose. This is the fastest time for the
distance made on local tracks this sea-
son. The race today was clearly a vic
tory for Jockey Dominick and not Miss
Bennett. He rode a wonderful race at
the end, bringing the lady home at a
time when she seemed hopelessly beaten.
The Pride, the heaviest played horse in
the race won the Austin stakes in the

The hotel clerk was standing behind the
desk with a disconsolate look on his face,
says the New York sun.
What's the matter?" asked a friend.
Natter said the clerk why its the
same old story. I've been stuck for an
other check. This check business causes
us hotel clerks more trouble than any,
thing else in the world. There is a gen.
eral rule in hotels that no checks shall
be cashed, but very often travellers run
short of money. 1t is good business policy
to cash these checks when you can be
sure that they're all right. No hotel can
afford to be continually offending guests,
At the same time, if a clerk cashes a bad
check he has to stand the loss.
The average hotel clerk has learned by
bitter experience to be a pretty good Judge
of human nature, but every now and then
he slips up. Only a week ago a big,
splendid-looling fellow came to me and
got me to cash a check for $50. l sized
him up and decided that he was all right
and that he was a good man to keep
among the steady patrons of the hotel
A few days later back came the check
with no funds marked across it. The
result was that l was out $50"
While the CLERK was talking a swagger-
looking woman came up to the desk and
smiling sweet.y at the clerk, said:
viii you please cash this little check?"
The clerk was all graciousness. He took
the check and examined 1t carefully with
out saying anything.
"Oh. it's all right said the woman.
'Of course, if you don't want to cash
II you needn't. Mr.. So-and-So knows me
quite well. and you can telephone him
about it if you want to; but 1t would
save me a great deal of trouble If you
could cash il for me now
Certainly. madman," said the clerk. and
then he went over and held a consulta-
tion with the cashier.
They decided that the woman was a
good investment and gave her the money.
She went away smiling. and then the
clerk said:
Now, there Is just about an even
money chance. If / hadn't cashed that
check she would have been highly insult
ed and would have talked about this motel
as long as she could remember. If she Is
all right she will be a good customer, but

THE DEMAND ron LARGER SAL
ERIES,

1t is not surprising that the Judges of
the United States Courts are asking for
larger salaries and Congressman are COM
planning that they cannot live upon what
they receive from the government when
the cost Of living In Washington and
other cities is taken into account. For
instance, the salary of the Vice-President
Is $500 a year, and yet it is stated that
he has rented house In Washington for
which he Is to pay 5000 year. After
paying house rent, therefore, he will have
only 1900 a year on which to live. 1t
Is certain that he cannot make much of
a show on that amount In fact, he
he has rented, clothe his family and meet
all his other necessary expenses on FIVE
times that amount.
But II may be said that there is no
reason why he should ,ent a house that
costs 5000 a year That is true. and
its Vlce-P President. 1t expects him to
do a little entertaining and to make a
favorable impression on distinguished
visitors from various parts of this coun-
try and other countries. The late Vice
President Hobart was a conspicuous fig
ure In Washington. and he had consider
able influence, simply because he was
prominent in a social way. He had a
large fortune and could afford to spend
money freely in entertaining. 1t is the
understanding that Mr.. Roosevelt is not
a rich man, and therefore the position
he occupies will be a severe strain on his
finances.
courts and Congressman who save money
out of their salaries, but they have to
live very economically TO do it. A Con-
gresham to get along on 5000 year and
save something for the time when he will
be pushed aside by more successful can
didate has to live in a cheap hotel or a
boarding house while attending to his
Congressional duties. and his entertaining
is confined to whisky and cigars and
not the best grades of these articles. II
is true that in the earlier days the pay
| OF a Congressman was much less, and
IL cost about as much for the actual nee
+ essaries OF life then as 1t does now, but
the style OF living was wholly different.
II might be better for the country in
some respects. perhaps, If there were the
same economy in living now as there was
then, but a change has taken place and
the fact will have to be recognized-in
salaries OF officials as well as in other
/ things

There are reasons for thinking that the
farmers Of che cotton section are making
a mistake in planting so large an acre
age in cotton. 1t is assumed that the
acreage is large for the reason that the
sales of fertilizers have been unpEece-
dentedly large.
The very high price OF cotton that. IN
til recently. has prevailed this season has
led cotton farmers to think that a high
price will prevail during next season.
What the price viii be then cannot be
foreseen. but the indications are now thar
1t will not be as high as has been this
season. perhaps not as high as Il Is now.
The market does not show any buoy
ancy. On the contrary, there IS rather
feeling Of depression. From the top price
OF the season there has beep a decline Of
$l6.25 bale. That means s very heavy
loss TO those who sti.l have the cotton
they held when the price was the highest
There is not likely to be any advance
in the price Of cotton as long as there is
a dull market for cotton goods. II is
worthy Of notice that the market for tex
tiles during the past week shows declines
in most lines, and manufacturers OF cot
ton goods do not see anything cheering
in the market
5 or course many reasons are given for
this condition of affairs. some of which
are good and others are Of little value.
The bald fact remains. however, that che
tendency Of the market for textiles Is
downward rather than otherwise That IS
a fact that farmers should take into ac-
count in planning for the next cotton
crop.
1t may be that the crop Of this season
is not large one. but it seems to be
larger than the world wants at the price
that has been prevailing for the greater
part of the season. That being the fact,
It doesn't make much difference whether
lie crop is large one or not
The wise thing for the cotton farmers
to do is to keep down the cotton acreage.
1t viii pay them to Go this A small crop
will pay better than a large one If the
crop should be a large one, and the price
should be low, many farmers would find.
It difficult to pay their fertilizer notes,
to say nothing of their taxes.

from various counters which he slipped
into his overcoat pockets, and finally he
caught a nice little gold watch worth
about $40. The professional thought there

party VINO Nau started IN a careless sort

THE old party, being, of course, highly
respectable, with only this weakness OF
the flesh, was so badly scared by the re-
marks of the professional that he dropped

ones have been witnesses al about every

The question which should present it

so. would it not be well to consider what
the result will be eventually. If there
is to be an effort at reform, should not
steps be taken in that direction at once?
1t is evident that nothing can be ac-
complished towards checking the evils
by the methods that have been heretofore
pursued. 1t is impossible to get evidence
necessary to reach the offenders. other
methods will have to be tried to bring
about a pure ballot and a peaceable cleo

Not long ago there was considerable
discussion In the newspapers of the ques-
ton whether man could honestly &C.
cumulate a fortune of 100000 in the
course of an ordinary lifetime. The con-
clusion seemed TO be that he could not
But. in the light of recent events. was
not that conclusion an erroneous one?
Mr.. Schwab, the recently elected pres
ident of the billion-dollar steel trust, has
a salary of S1,000,0O0 a year. II he lives
economically he win be able to accumu-
late pretty nearly $4,000 in a single
year. And is there any man who will
take the position that he will not do it
honestly?
Although 1t has not been long since the
question was discussed the discussion
took place before the period of billion
dollar trusts. The movement toward
great things In the world OF finance and
Industrial and railway combinations has
been very rapid within the last few years.
II the events of the last Ave years could
have been foreseen there would have been
no such discussion.
Il is not improbable that salaries of
81. 600 a year will be paid before the
end of this century. There is talk of in
ternational combinations combinations
that greatly exceed the giant steel trust.
If this talk should materialize bigger sal
aries than Mr.. Schwab's may be paid.
The claim may be advanced that Mr..
Schwab cannot earn the salary he re-
ceives. There is no doubt that the men
who authorized It to be paid believe he
can earn 1t. They are not men to pay
for what they do not receive. In fact,
the question was raised in the meeting
of directors at which the salary of the
president was fixed as to whether the

Informed men that Mr.. Schwab could save

knowledge of the business and his ability
to handle It to the best advantage. That
being the case. II was admitted that the
salary was not too large Therefore, in
