WASHINGTON TO HAVE
SOME FINE RACING
Old Jockey Club Gives Way to the New
Organizations. S. Rowland
Elected President.

The executive committee OF the Wash
ington Jockey Club held an important
meeting at the New willard yesterday.
The old Washington Jockey Clubs af-
fairs were closed up. and the new Wash
ington Jockey Club formed. All the out
standing debts against the association
were paid. For period OF twenty years
the management OF the new organization
has been placed in the hands OF Nthe
Westcheste- Racing Association. The
change insures permanency of high class
racing. increased stakes and purses. The
old stockholders will receive a like
amount OF stock in the new organiza-
tion.
Following are the officers Of the new
association: S. S. Howland, president:
Jesse Brown, vice president; r. I. Burg
her, secretary and treasurer: executive
committee, Samuel Ross, George How
ard. n. o. simpkins. Edward A. Mitchell.
S. S. Howland, Jesse Brown, F. /. Burg

The Westchester Racing Association Is
capitalized at $4,000. 600, and the divi-
dends on the stock OF the new Washing
ton Jockey Club are guaranteed by the
association. One should not infer from
this that racing in Washington is now
out Of the hands OF Washingtonians. as
this step has been taken simply because
the new Westchester Racing Association
guarantees that better purses, stakes.
and quality Of racing will be furnished.
The new Westchester Racing Associa-
tion Will assume control Of its plant.

trick of escaping from firmly ned ropes,
submits to the bonds with a smile. Hs

When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every hour about
the organs dependent on the stomach
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. The
folly Of mankind is to passively submit
10 the fastening Of these bonds with no
effort to escape until the pain they cause

Hook Worm, Breeder of

LOCAL CASES REPORTED
Dr.. Stiles, Of Marine Hospital Service,
Investigating Cause and
Remedies.

AnChylostomlasis-o in blunt Eng
lish, lazy disease''-has invaded Wash
ington. There are several cases in a
local hospital and any number outside.
There is a decided difference. however
between the diagnosis Of the disease
contracted by the hospital patients and
that from which humanity at large is
a sufferer. And the diagnosis may be
summed up in a single word-parasite
Peculiarly enough, the disease is tae
oldest known to medical history. The
ancient Egyptian physicians have left
record Of It's ravages in the valley Of
the Nile. and there is little doubt the
Numidans. Chaldeans, and BabyIonians
all suffered at times from it. Europe
has been a sufferer also. while Asia and
even enlightened America. with its med
ical knowledge and curative powers. has
felt its effects. Worse than all. persons
have died with it in large numbers. and
several cases exist today in a local hos
pital

Sleepy and Lazy.

The malady tends to make the infected
person sleepy and lazy. the system be-
comes much debilitated and anemic
The patient has a great desire for sleep,
and little inclination to move about
This condition il not checked. soon be-

When seen in his laboratory today,
DR.. stiles was busily engaged in study
ing the disease and in the preparation
of a report on the subject as affecting
the United States. He said there were
a number Of cases in a local hospital

Egyptians Much Perplexed.

The early Egyptian physicians were
evidently much perplexed as well as
kept busy by the disease. for as early as
3045 B. c. one Of their number jotted
down his observations upon it on a strip
Of papyrus. rolled - up and laid it care
fully away. This was two centuries be-
fore the advent and career Of Moses
the lawgiver. This papyrus was discov-
cred and sent to Prof Ebers, OF Thebes
who translated it into German in 1873
Since that time the papyrus has also
been translated into English and forms
a valuable addendum to medical re
search The ancient Egyptian physi-
clan inscribed his obserya tions in hler-
attic characters and the work Of trans
lation was extremely difficult
Even at that early date in the worlds
history the parasite. or worm. which
causes the disease was noted by the
Egyptians. lt was suppdsed by them
however. the parasite was caused by
the disease and was not. as is now
known. the cause Of the malady.
This parasite is a small white worm,
ranging from an eighth to quarter OF
an inch or slightly more in length. It
has been found in human bodies affiliated
with the lazy disease" in large num-
bers. The malady is also termed the
hook worm disease" owing TO the Pc
culiar hOok-like prOtuberance on the
anterior end of the parasite In the
worm found in America by DR.. Stiles
this hook is not so pronounced. The
worm is taken into the system in drink
Ing water or in contaminated food. Il
is prevalent in districts having a sandy
soil. and among peoples careless in their
mode OF living Dirt eaters are par
ticularIy liable TO become affected. and
the disease largely prevails where that
habit is common

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, November "A, l9O2.
 Tariff revision continues to be the most talked of subject In political circles in Washington despite the statement, given unofficially at the white house last week, that there was no prospect of a change in the tariff schedules at the coming session, and that even the presidents proposed recommendation of a tariff commission would not imply the necessity for immedi- ate revision. It Is now stated that the president has Cleft open"- that passage in hismessage which deals with this sub iect, and that he will not complete 1t un- til he has had a number of conferences with the party leaders, some of the most important of which will take place to-day.
 The Cuban situation was fully dis Bliss has gone to Havana to negotiate a treaty which shall provide that Cuban du- ties on American imports shall remain stationary, while they shall be increased 50 per cent. on imports from other ooun- tries, and that in return, concession of % per cent. from the Dingley duties shall be allowed on Cuban goods coming into this country, General Bliss cables that he has found great opposition to the prop osition in Havana, although he Is not yet discouraged. The president and his cab met decided that no further concessions would be made, that Cuba was acting in an ungrateful and ill-advised manner, and that in no instance would the provia1 ions of the Platt amendment be waiY
 at least until treaty had been negoti
 Incidentally 1t was stated at the
 house that the present relations
 Cuba were so acute that those
 which wished to befriend the admin ton would refrain from taiscus7
 situation.
 + As 8 result of several untowN
 cumstances the isthmian canal is cause of anxiety. At the last mi
 and when the treaty with Colombia
 practically ready to sign, Senator Concl backed out, saying he must have further authority from his government. In the meantime the check in the negotiations has caused renewed hope in the friends of the Nicaraguan route, who are now pressing their advantage and hope to ef- feet the negotiation@of treaties with Mic argua and Costa Rica, so that, even if a satisfactory treaty with Colombia is Anal iy effected, they may be submitted to the senate simultaneously. It is alleged, in this connection, that Senators Spooner and Morgan changed their minds, after saying to Secretary Hay that they would be satisfied with lease of 100 years, with the privilege of renewal for like period, and that they now demand absolute sov- ereignty as provided in the Spooner amendment. What is regarded as au- thentic news of the conclusion of the O. lombia insurrection has reached the state department, and 1t Is said that President Marroquin will now do all in his power to facilitate the negotiation of a satisfactory treaty. That the subject will require further legislative enactment by the sen. ate, and possibly by the house, is almost certain, however.

The Old Lady and the Iu

The old Lady and the Incubator.
 An old lady visiting an exhibition went to see some incubators which were on show and, complaining of the expense of keeping fowls, said that if they were cheaper she would buy an egg matching machine. After she had asked various questions the gentleman in attendance proceeded to show her the drawers in which were deposited the eggs in different stages. On these the old lady looked in astonishment. "Whatw she exclaimed indignantly. Do you use eggsY' Certainly" was the attendants astonished answer. Well" said she, q consider it per feet swindle to pick the pockets of honest, hardworking folks by selling them those frauds!

 So voracious is the cod that it will swallow anything it sees in motion.
 An eel has two separate hearts. One beats 60, the other 16O, times minute. times its own length in an hour. In that time sloth can only travel fifty times it's own length. .J There is no country in the world in . which the raven is not found to be na- tive; it is also the only bird known to ornithologists which is of such cosmo-1 pOlitan character.
 Only one existing reptile can sustain itself in the air. This is the flying dragon of the East Indies. It has no real wings, but can glide from tree to tree like flying squirrel.
 The common house fly usually pro duces the note F in flying. To do so it must vibrate it's wings 335 times second. The honey bee sounds A. which means that it's wing vibrations are 40 to the second.
