Fined for Crooked Riding.

AT Brighton Beach yesterday, Jockey
Turner was fined 500 for tn alleged neg
ligent riding of Wax Taper, Tuesday.
He had formerly been suspended but
that was revoked and the fine substi-
tuted. There is only one way to deal
with crooked jock and that is to ham
die him severely. A few examples show
that nonsense will not be tolerated and
serve to bring about good racing re-
suits.

west The fight is scheduled to go twenty
rounds and will be the main event of a
three-fight carnival to be held at the
opera house Monday night, under the
auspices of the Olympic club. The man
agement announces that the prelimina-
rles will be first-class and that good

Why Chapman Is Not Here.
John Chapman was scheduled to ride
at the saucer last night as was Charles
Turvile. Neieher rider appeared be-
cause of engagements at Salt Lake. 1t
appears that both men We're entered for
events at the Salt Lake saucer Tuesday
night. Rain caused a postponement of
the races until last night and under the
rules of the National Cycling Associa-
ton, Chapman and Turville were COM
PEELED to remain over for the races last
night. Had either rider failed to APP
pear at the Salt Lake saucer last night.
he would have been suspended and
would not have been allowed to ride on
any association track in the country.
1t can therefore be seen that necessity
compelled the riders to be absent from
the local races last night.

To Improve the Racing Card.
It would be a good scheme if the trot-
ting and pacing races at the track were
done away with. Such events are popu-
lar only with a few They consume
great deal of time and delay the rum
ming races to such an extent that 1t Is
late when the last one is run, as was
the case yesterday. The public wants
good fast sport and does not want 1t
strung out over six hours. Everybody
could be satisfied if the harness events
were held on some day set aside for
them.
Give the Betters a Chance.
If the books would loosen up bit
they could do better business. Patrons
of the race track like to at least have a
run for their money and they do not
get it, when in a field of ten starters.
they can not get price of more than 20

be made more liberal or the betting ring
thrown open to any and all DESTROYS OF

the DDS better and give the public a
chance AS it is now the syndicate book

posed to bet. must either accept the odds
offered or do without. The auction

That portion of the talent generally
called pikers did most of the business at
the track yesterday. They had plenty of
time in which to do it, too, as the last
race of the day was not run until s
o'clock. That meant six hours in which
to pull off six running races and one
harness event. Almost an hour to a race;
surely enough time to allow the books to
get all the money coming to them, and

For Tired Eyes.

Eyes will be greatly strengthened by
putting the face down into glass or
eyecup Of water the first thing in the
morning and opening them under wa
ter. This is somewhat difficult to do
at first, but if the water for two or
three days be tepid and gradually made
colder by imperceptible degrees until
it is no shock to7put the face into quite
cold water it will soon become quite
easy and is very invigorating and re-
freshing.
If done regularly every day, this
treatment alone will preserve the sight
into quite old age. There is a right
and wrong way Of Wiping the eyes
after this, too. and the right way is to
pass the soft towel very gently from
the outer angle inward toward the
nose.
If after a long day the eyes feel so
hot and tired that they seem dim when
one tries to read or to do a little neces-
sary sewing for oneself, they should be
bathed with cold tea from which the
leaves have been removed.

WINGED of peace till they see the United

the enormous cost of transportation to-

Few Americans are aware of the fact
that the name Of their continent is due
to a German scholar. In 1907 Martin
Waldseemuller, also known as Hyla-
comylus, of st. Die, in the Vosges,
edited a book called 'Cosmographia
Introductio," in which he gave trans
lation Of Amerigo Yespucci1s descrip-
ton of his voyages.
That was Just the time when Ameri-
COS fame filed the world, while Column
bus disgrace oyershadowed his merit,
and evidently his name had never
reached the quiet village in the Vosges
when Amerigo trumpeted forth his own
glory. So Hylacolnylus proposed that,
since the new continent was, after all,
not part of the Indies, no name would
suit it better than that of his famous
explorer, Amerigo.
The book was read far and wide, and
so quickly was the proposition accepted
that, when later on the true discoverer
was known, the name was already
rooted too deeply in general use to

Happy Thought OF Man In a Fix
An operator for western railroad
who had served his company long and
well was called into the Office one day
and asked If he. thought he could hold
down the job Of night dispatcher. He
Sromptly replied that he could and was
told to report for duty that night and
his chief instructed him In what he
was to do. Just after the chief left the
Office it began to blow and snow, and
the trains commenced to run late. The
new night dispatcher soon had develop
ed a bad case Of "rattles" and almost
cried. He did not want an accident,
and he could not handle the trains. So
a happy thought struck him. AS fast
as report came in he replied, directing
the conductor to take siding and
wait for orders, and it was not great
while until he had every train on the
division sidetracked. Then he took a
book, lighted his pipe and sat down to
wait for daylight. In the morning the
chief appeared with anxiety written all
over his face.
"Any accidents, Johnny2' asked the
chief.
Not an accident. I've got 'em all
on the sidetrack, showed in and wait
ing for orders, and you will have to
get 'em out. am going to blow this
job. It took the chief and his force
nearly all day to get the trains straight

Dangerous Fire RACES in the Texas
Oil Field.

Beaumont, Tex, Nov. 20. The most
dangerous fire since the discovery of
oil here occurred Wednesday, and for
"a time it was thought the field was
doomed to- destruction. Plumbers
working on pipes built small fire
several hundred feet northeast of the
Exporter Pipe Land company's well,
which is the most remote we'll on the
northeast side of the field, for the pur-
pose of making connections. The fire
was built in the oil-soaked grass, and
no sooner started than it spread with
startling rapidity and got beyond con-
troll. A general alarm was sounded
on the hill and the hundreds of en-
ployes, contractors and visitors as
sembled to fight the flames, which
were rapidly spreading to the great
forest of derrfcks in the Hogg+Swayne
syndicate. Every FIRE on the field was
extinguished in the boilers and every
rig was shut down. The entire popu-
lation of the field was put to work,
Fortunately the men succeeded in q
staying the flames within 20 feet of the 4
nearest derrick Many of the men
were badly burned. The plumbers

The senate committee on finance has
finished tinkering with the house bill
reducing the taxes imposed by the war
revenue act, says the New York News.
The senate wants to cut off about $780,

horizontal cut Of so per cent. This is

the entire war revenue law should be
repealed. Last year 1t rolled up a sur.

the president gets his new army Of
100000 men organized, the tax law I'M

If there cannot be complete repeal,
there should be reductions along other
lines than those marked out by house

President Demands regulation For

the Philippines.
There has been no visible reason fol
this sudden exigency Of Philippine leg
lsga1icn. The Mckinley var oyeP there
stfffsgoes on in the same GEsaffs1acs0fy
way in which it has been going on fol
the last two years and in the way in
which tits likely to go on for the next
two years unless there be a drastic
change of plans. The Taft commits
sion, moreover, which was vested with
very considerable power by the presi-
dent in the direction chiefly OF estab.
fishing municipal governments through.
out the islands, has been doing much
successful work in that dfreetion-suc.
cessfui, at any rate, in the expressed
opinion of the administration. Why
therefore, should there have arisen all
of a sudden the urgent necessity for
Philippine legislation? The president
has been governing there as a despot
anyway, and congress has shown little
if any disposition to question or inter.
fere with his autocratic sway in the
Islands. Heseould still go on.
We shall not be far wrong, then, II
we conclude that the urgency for Phil
lppine legislation is Fictitious; that the
sudden necessity is ostensible only, not
real. The presidents real purpose Is 4
to oblige Hanna by laying the founda.
ton fer an extra session, when he
{Hanna) could hold congress in session
almost indefinitely if his wishes as to
the bill were not carried out.
It is utterly out of the question-and
nobody knows it better than the presi-
dent-to expect congress, particularly
at the senate end, to take up the alb.
struse question of legislating for the
Philippines at this late date in the
short session and enact it by March 4.
The senate has most Of the appropria-
tion bills yet to consider, and that
alone will occupy all its time If it do
not look at another bill.

a legislative quandary, out Of which it /
is probable that neither he nor it can
