General Sporting Notes.

Once more an effort Is to be made to put
racing in the state of Pennsylvania on the
same footing as that Of New York 1t would
be a great boom for breeding if there could
be high-class meetings established under
proper control.
At the recent Kentucky thoroughbred
sales M. F. Dwyer sold three brood mares
and their produce and thus got rid of all his
breeding interests. The mares were St.
Lucie, Charola and Miss Lois. A. ]. Cas-
satt also sold ten mares.
Two American trainers, William Duke
and Eugene Leigh, are high up on the list
OF winning trainers in England for 1902
The first named trained twenty horses and
won thirty-two races. Leigh trained nine
teen different winners.
In comparing the jockeys Of the present
with those OF the past, an English authori-
ty says that the turf may never again know
a Jockey whose record was as good as Fred
Archer's. For five consecutive years he
averaged 230 winners. In the sixteen years
he was riding he rode 2,74S winners.
Marston Taylor Bogert, professor of Or
ganic chemistry at Columbia, and member
Of the faculty committee on athletics, won
the annual fall tennis championship of the
university. With handicap of minus half
Is he defeated A. Rosenberg, plus 10, by
60 3s, 81, 60
Jerry, Chorn, colored jockey, ruled off
seven years ago by the California Jockey
Club, rode his first race yesterday since his

Rausch. who is under contract to Burns &

worth, Decoy and Blackthorn.
A novel relay race will be held In New

Women. and Matrimony.

From Harper's Bazaar
Matrimony-a happy marriage the max
ing of a home-a home. mind you. not keep
ing nouse-is sthe only legitimate happi-
ness in the world for a woman. The AL
mighty has plainly said so, but we TWEEN
tieth- century wiseacres, who know so much
more than our Creator-we cry out for ca
reers, for the bachelor girl, for women's
clubs, women's rights and everything which
is calculated to take the place of the natu-
raj yearning In a true woman's soul for
husbands sustaining and protecting love,
and the feel Of downy head pressed
against woman's breast. Well, go on.
Fool yourselves II you like. Fool the world
IL YOU can. I know your secret. I know
how. when Christmas comes, you have
hours Of wishing all your fame, all your
beauty, all your riches. were swallowed up
for lust the touch of one hand-for the
sound Of one voice! Lonely? The proudest
of you, the best educated. the most self
supporting, the most ESQ called independ-
emit, would at times. the lonely times, the
candle-lightfng times, the Christmas times,
give everything on earth you possess for
q home Of your own and a husband and a
child No matter If they made you unhap-
n.y. Even a wife's and a mothers unhap-
piness is preferable to the unhappiness
made by business or frfends-so cold blood

cessful Of misunderstood daughters and
spinsters or bachelor girls or emancipated
Divorces or consoled widows-how much
persuasion would be necessary to cause
you to forsake the loneliness of being un-
loved for The One, should he chance along?

India and Afghanistan.
From the New York Sun.

from the New 1ork SuH.
The ways of the new Amir of Afghanis-
tan are according to recent Indian papers,
causing considerable dissatisfaction to the
british Indian government. Since his ac-
,ession to the throne he has had but little
communication with the viceroy of India.
Lord Curzon, and has imprisoned a num-
Der of British subjects on suspicion of be-
ing SPIES He has also raised many
obstacles to trade in addition to those i'm
posed by his late father and is showing
disposition generally to have as little TO 90
as possible with his great neighbor to the
east In addition to the measures taken 70
secure the fidelity and increase the emf
cheney of his army, he has ordered tents TO
be furnished for $4,000 men. and depots OF
grain and forage have already been FORMED
In different parts of the country.
Up to the present time central Asian
politics has had but little interest for the
world at large. The energy of the Russian
advance has, however. brought about a
change and before very long the affairs Of
the two remaining independent Mohsmme
dan states OF Asia, Afghanistan and Persia,
Will become matters Of international con-
Germ.

Twain at Skittles.

From the New York Times.
When Mark Twain was an editor in Hart
ford he was considered a formidable oppo-
nent at skittles. his favorite resort was O.
bowling alley in a cellar on State street
not far from the steamboat dock. While
the celebrated humorist was under Major
Ponds management he was billed as one OF
the features for an evenings entertain
ment at the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation hall at Newark. There was a bowl
ing alley Immediately underneath the lee
ture room. AS Mark Twain was on his
way upstairs with the major he caught a
glimpse of it.
Whats going on in there-bowlingr'
Yes" replied the major. who knew his
weakness. But never mind that now
You're due on the platform
Run In somebody else for ten or fifteen
minutes" said Mark Twain. II shall do
ever SO much better after a little exercise"
And he did.

loan association has secured Q beautiful
tract OF ground on the outnklr0 OF San
Juan, where cottages for wage-earners WIN
soon dot a charming hillside. At the st.

that the Americans thus far entrusted with

Field for Investment.
I share with thousands here the opinion
that there is no better. or safer. and GER
tainly no more diversified field for invest
ment, for small or large capital, than Porto
Rico, IL the natives will drop their child s
play politics and cooperate with those who
have their best interests at heart. This does
not apply to many Porto Ricans who hailed
with joy deliverance from the Spanish yoke,
and who Loyalty join hands with Americans
for mutual good. 1t does apply to the ca
lamity howlers who devote large portion
of their time to creating in the United
States an Impression that mob rule prevails,
that the government Is a mockery and that
chaos has replaced order. Such statements
are as unfair as they are untrue, and can
be more readily disproved than the average
lie II any one cares to investigate. Uncle
Sam has yet no reason to be ashamed Of
beautiful Borinquen.

ICE COMPANIES PLANS
GOSSIP REGARDING THE AMERI-
CAMS INTENTIONS.
Baltimore Company Denies That It h
to Be Absorbed-The Ice
Trade.

Those who are engaged In the Ice bust
ness In this city have been much Interested
in the accounts which have appeared In the
Baltimore newspapers recently In regard to
the affairs OF the American Ice Company.
That concern as Is well known. furnishes
the larger proportion Of ice that L. used in
this city, as we'll as In a number OF other
places along the Atlantic coast.
About four years ago the three largest
Ice companies In this city were bought by
the American Ice Company. while arrange
ments were made to purchase the output of
several artificial ice plants here. Since then
this company has been in business here,
and 1t is intimated that at least 80 per cent
OF the Ice consumed In Washington is OBJ
tanned from that company.
According to the newspaper publications
referred to. it was designed by the Ameri-
can Ice Company to purchase large aru-
fetal plant In Baltimore, and 1t was further
suggested that there was a possibility OF
further consolidation Of companies In other
cities. In the Baltimore American of today
Is positive statement from the president
OF the Independent company In Baltimore
referred to in the previous publication to
the effect that no consolidation with the
American company was contemplated on
the part OF his company, and that, In fact,
1t was the intention Of his company to In
crease the capital and enlarge Its facilities.
In this city the American company has
about five competitors. all OF them manu-
featuring and handling artificial ice exclu-
sively. The American company brings nat
ural ice to this city and in addition has two
artificial plants here one OF them being that
OF the old Hygienic company.
The Daily Consumption
It is estimated that during the summer
season the daily consumption of Ice here Is
between twelve hundred and fifteen hun
dred tons per day, while during the winter
the demand falls of between sixty and
seventy per cent. AS stated, 1t Is believed
the American company supplies about
eighty per cent Of the entire demand Of the
local market
In addition to the competition which ex-
lists for regularly organized manufactured
ice companies. 1t is now a feature in large
buildings intended for use as hotels or
apartments to have an artificial Ice ap-
paratus with capacity sufficient to supply
the needs Of the establishment. There are
other lines Of business which find such
plant profitable. and it often happens that
the capacity of these is enlarged SO as to
supply to some extent an outside trade. In
this way the consumption of manufactured
Ice is increasing. which makes 1t an I'M
certain factor in the business where nat
ural ice was formerly the main product.

Healthy HintA

From the New York News.
Variety In food Is essential to health. Too
much Of any particular food prevents its
nourishing the body. Six hours sleep is
necessary for every one but is not sufficient
to meet the physical needs of ALL some re-
Quiring eight hours and others even longer.
When possible. at least one hours sleep
should be obtained before midnight. as this
is worth all the hours that succeed 1t.

Exaggerated Reports of Disorder.

One great injustice done to the island
and to the administration during the
campaign the spreading of gar
bled and exaggerated news in the
press of the United States concerning cleo
ton disturbances. AS matter of fact,
there We're very few. and on election day
there were but a few fragmentary clashes,
such are always likely to occur between
opponents of the fiery Latin race. Yet
stories Were disseminated with the DELHI
crate intention of giving impression that
the island was drenched with the blood of
prosecuted federaos and that anarchy
reigned supreme. All these diSpat ches were
sent from a single rabid federal newspaper
office. This paper stung by defeat Is now
bowling for congressional investigation.
There ample evidences that these tao
tics, born of bitter partisanship, hurt the
commercial interests of Porto Rico and
make the capital so badly needed here
afraid to seek permanent Investment in the
island

Protest of Federal Leaders.

On Thanksgiving day the leaders of the
federal Party issued protest" which Is
to be/Sent to Washington, against the ad
minystration of Governor Hunt. The petit
tieSers for Justice" style themselves "a
goble band of patriots" and indulge in
much characteristic howery language to
show that the island Is in a deplorable con-
dition. This protest may in time find cir
culation in the United States and mislead
some readers AS matter of fact no men
could work harder or more intelligently
for the spread of Amerlcanism and mini
MIXING of partsanship, than do Governor
Hunt and his American associates. Per-
haps they would be respected more IL they
used mailed fists instead of gloved hands,
but 1t Is too late now to return to Spanish
tactics.
