selves for the big race.

from the fall he received in Paris, does
not want to take any unnecessary
chances on n track with a dozen or
more riders. and for this reason he
selected he track at Philadelphia upon
which to train, as he. Bald and Michaels
will have the exclusive use OF 1t.

makes the number OF teams entered as
eighteen. The new team is composed OF

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29--The most

ceive the spectators. but II was not done.

ing beneath him.
The chances are that the ride escaped
the notice OF the stewards. But the
ride was so plainly fragrant that some
Of the grcenest spectators must have
noticed 1t. What the object Of Days
riding was is not known. Perhaps Il
was to get a juicy price against the
horse In the last race OF tho getaway

race to-day there ought to be some
ruling OF done. and the stewards need
not take any time for elaboration.
1t is being whispered at the track that
the stewards are doing "A little quiet In
vestigating into the ride which Wonderly
formed a few days ago. 1t Is said that
"A very bis wager In New York on Sun

These games had been played altern-

1t was decided to play the game on
neutral ground. and Philadelphia being

The Government officials were the cause
OF the games being called of. and when

were though to have so great a team

QUAKER REFLECTIONS.

[From the Philadelphia Record.1
Take care of the pennies, and the dol
lars will take care of you.
When doctors disagree it generally
takes an autopsy to decide.
The average pugilists tongue can jab-
Der faster than his fist can jab
Lots of opportunities are wasted be-
cause the wrong people get hold OF

bles in homeopathic, sugar-coated pei
lets.
In the makeup of some people it is
hard to distinguish between ambition
and greed.
Few men are satisfied with their
wealth unless they have more than their
neighbors.
The fellow who is always waiting for
something to turn up gets used to being
turned down.

"NEW WOMAN" AN ANCIENT
Mannish Garb for Female Wear N OF
an Innovation.

One of the pet reproaches made
against the new woman. is that in her
unseemly longing to stand upon the
same footing as her aforetine lord and
master she invented the fashion of
wearing garments of mannish cut.
This is most unjust and she may read
lily be proved guiltless of the charge by
a. trifiing investigation of the fashions
of ancient times and Of conservative
countries. where the poor things are as
unemancipated as possible, and still
wear the same style of garments as
their foremothers of thousand years
ago.
The Chinese lady, as every traveller
tesiifies, is one of the most modest, re-
firing and conventional of creatures,
yet she wears clothes almost exactly
like those of her husband and brothers.
Indeed, III Chine trousers are considered
much more proper as feminine garments
than skirts.
The Turkish woman's dress is identf-
cal with that of the husband who keeps
her so carefully shut away from all
new tangled notions. and the Eskimo
woman clothes her little fat legs in
tight sealskin breeches. finished off with
smart fur topped boots.
The happy woman of SIAM who has
never been obliged to go in for woman's
rights having always been as free as
air and the equal of any man of her
acquaintance, wears, like every man in
the kingdom, a square Of cotton or silk
curiously adjusted about the legs and
fastened by tucking two of the ends
through at the waist in what travellers
describe as a perilously insecure man
ner.
Looking back at the good old times to
which those who disapprove of the new
woman are so fond of referring, very
early in the worlds history can be
found instances of women adopting
mannish clothes when they were suit
able and convenient.
The Greeks. with their hunting Goddess
their Amazons. and their swift Alta
lantas. in the athletic games, have
shown us how beautiful woman can be
in the short tunic worn by the youths
But no doubt even then old folks men
toned a prehistoric time when girls
were not so bold.-Chicago Chronicle.

SILVER FOX CARRIERS.
Boston House Story of Muff and a
Boa Under Seizure.

Two young women from Michigan who
returned to this country last week after
a long sojourn in Europe surprised a
gray-headed customs officer into saying
that he had never before learned of an
attempt to wear fur muff and fur
boa garters.
The two young women arrived on
Thursday on the steamship Butcher A
woman inspector noticed that the fit OF
their Partisan gowns was oddly disturb
ed by an unusual bullying above the left
knee of each young woman. AS it seem
ed to be catching, she asked what the
matter was.
The young women intimated that her
curiosity was depriving her of certain
benefits that otherwise might have been
hers. but finally they accompanied her
to their stateroom. when issued an Off
cia1 report somewhat like this:
81 found that Miss Blank had contrived
to force a Russian silver fox fur muft
over her foot and above the knee of the
left limb where 1t rested in the manner OF
a circle garter. In the case of Miss Dash
a long boa of the same fur had been
cunningly wound around the left limb
and tied to keep it in place with pink
baby ribbon.
The Russian furs. said to be worth at
least 81, 200 here. are in the seizure room
at the public store and the young women
are in Michigan and maybe, still blushing
at getting caught.-New York Sun.
