Edwin arden advertises for baby in

are stated but no qualifications are
given as to sex and previous condition

and between the ages of three and six
months. 1t is presumed that a quiet
child about two feet in length with no
religious preiudices against the theater
would fill the bill. The child's duties
will consist in supporting Mr.. Arden il

Another advertiser wants white

pigeons" They should be delivered sep

tain pigeons, or turtles accompanied by
affidavits that they have made a Chinese
dinner from rats. mice and pigeons will
not be accepted. The idea is TO keep
them apart and sell them again in an

Washingtonian. and successful trainer.
The meeting which closed on Satur-
day ct Washington Park was a most
successful one financially-under adverse
conditions. A great deal of rain fell
during the meeting, making the track
lbeavy. and preventing owners from en-
tering 4 1t surely would have raced
under better conditions. This some
what affected the class, and had con-
siderable to do with the form shown In
the various events. Withal the rae
ing was clean and consistent through
out, and If any reversal of form was
shown, the track conditions alone were
responsible.
The meeting which commences tomor-
row at Harlem promises to be most sue
cessful. and it deserves to be so, as
nothing that can contribute In any way
to its success has been left undone by
its hustiing and courteous racing sec

Briefly stated. the ordinary resident OF

The purpose of the law Is declared to be
TO raise revenue for the expenses OF the
District of Columbia.
How much money will thus be raised
is problematic. No enc knows at pres
eut the amount of taxable personal
property in the District. and it cannot
now be stated how much the returns
will shcw. The statement of each per-
sons belongings will be made upon his
own affidavit. and the motive and oppor-
tunity for successful evasion are OF
course, great. Those conversant with
such matters have estimated that the
District revenues will be Increased

How to Make Appeal.
After the assessment has been made

purpose of hearing objections to the

For reasons wholly apart from the
means of raising revenue, the opera

entirely upon the personal integrity OF

The victory of Mexican in the rich
Produce Stakes at Brighton Beach was
another triumph for John L. Madden. as
well as for the Mackay colors.
Mexican was bred by Madden and sold
to Mr.. Msc&ay. His performances
against the best two-vear- olds in train
ing in the big stakes of the season stamp
him as a horse of exceptional class.
Yet Mexican was not regarded as n
serious contender with the Kcene stable
In the Produce Stakes by any but the
holiday crowd, even l to 3 place being
quoted against him.
1t was the same way with Irish Lad
which Madden sold to Harry Payne
Whitney and Herman B. Duryea. The
colt mad to win and win again before
the smart" people would have him.
All of which would indicate that the
wiseacres of the turf had figured :hjs as
IN off year foT Madden.
But Madden has shown remarkable
consistency for breeding and selling
good race horses for several years past.
The Washington times., 1902-07-21

and IL is not too late for him to thold
Up his end" this season.
Certainly Mexican and Irish Lad to-
gether are a pretty good start. Both
have won rich stakes. and both are in
the Futurity.
In addition to this. Gunfire, The Med
dler Royal Gun threc-year- old filly. and
Blue Girl. both racing in the Whitney
colors. are probably the best of thsir
sex and age in training. Both were
bred by Madden.
What the astute Kentuckian has In re-
serve in the two-year- division re-
mains to be seen. but 1t would not be
surprising to see him develop another
youngster at Saratoga which will prov,
the equal II not the superior OF Irish

Mr.. O'Rourke continues: We can give

is maliciously untrue; not that We wish
to imply-far from it-that the secre

that he did not weigh the value-the
stimulus to unwholesome religious an

tary atavism. The sane minded and we'll

Gus they would be amused at the fact
that the unscientiic training which
could permit such a lapse is possible
among body of men that should be-
come almost the sovereign organ of in

THE charges OF proselytism. We have
every reason to assert. are utterly un-
true. And IL is bad taste and reveals a
fatuously gullible state of mind, to
charge the Administration with an at
tempt to Protestantize the Filipinos
We Catholics are perpetually pleading
that our case should be judged on Its
merits-by consultation with first hand
sources, and that assertions to our dis
credit should be examined by certain
tests and standards before they are ac-
cepted. And yet when the conditions of
the problem are altered We receive with
undated solemnity. assertions so grave
in their character and revolutionary in
their drift, that no man should believe
them. unless upon carefully ascertained
evidence. We ask, is this honest?' -

And speaking from the personal point
of view. the New Century sincerely re-
grets than an article which we pub
lshed merely as news item should be
construed as assuming in any manner
that the American Government had
turned its face against the splendid ira

Roosevelt. or Secretary Root, has been

we have pointed out; but we desire
above all things to be Just and TO rep

obvious meaning of its editorials so
travestied as to imply that the President
or his immediate co-adiutors have au-

ment against the interests of Catholics
in the Philippines. We trust that this
statement. representing as 1t does. the
ripest. sanest, and most reasonable

GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

Articulate. the California colt that
has made such a brilliant record at
Chicago this season. will measure
strides with the crack horses OF the
East at Saratoga next month.
Owing to the fine showing of Articu-
late there has been a strong desire on
the part of several owners TO add him
to their strings, and among them is
John A. Drake. the millionaire.
Bob Smith leased the colt from W c.
de Lopez in California last spring and
has since been racing him with much
success. Recently Mr.. de Lopez was in
Chicago and before he returned home
set price on the colt. 1t is known that
the figure is a high one.
Although Mr.. Drake is dcsirous of
owning Articulate, the shipment of the
colt to Saratoga would indicate that no
arrangements have been made as yet for
his sale.
