In addition to the prize money, each of the riders received $20 day for his work.
 Leander and Krebs, the winners of the first prize. had a little quarrel over the division of their money. Le- ander said Krebs was not entitled to one-half, because Krebs was not on the track as long as Leander was. Friends intervened and finally the money was divided equally. Leander looked to be in better condition than any of the other men. He did not show any bad effects from the long race. He will go to Atlanta, Ga, next week to meet Bobby Walthour i'll series of races.
 Newkirk and Jacobson, who won second money, also were in fairly good shape. They are booked to give exhibitions i'll local theater this week. Nat Butler of the Butler-Tur- vile team. who fractured his shoulder in collision during the race, said he would give up riding this winter and take long rest. His team was paid a sum sufficient to defray training ex- penses Hedspeth, who was also in jured in the race got his training ex- penses.
 The total attendance during the six days and nights of the race was in ex- cess of 100000 and it was said yester- day that the managers cleared cloaa to $3O,O0O on the event.

ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETE
For the Big Entertainment to Be Held
 at Polls Monday.


 All arrangements are now completed for thesbig entertainment at Polls the- ater Monday evening. This array of talent is the best that has ever been brought to gether in this city. Miss Eugenle Tessier of Albany, the blind soprano singer, is a wonder. It is said she ranks next to Madame Albani, who is said to be the finest In the coun- try. The Albany Journal says of her that to be impressed with the sunshine that radiates from a happy disposition one has but to meet Mile Eugenie Tes- s1er, the celebrated blind soprano of AlIDany, N. f. Not alone possessing all Ine requisites of an artistic singer, her own charming personality is so infused into her work that when she sings it is as II care or trouble had no place in Ine world, and every tone was. word of joy and happiness.
 Another artist of note that has been engaged for the occasion is MT Paul Dufault, the phenomenal young French tenor singer, was born III Canada from musical family. It was intended that MT Dufault should follow professional pursuitsy but marked musical tendencies manifest ed themselves at an early age. and young Dufault sang soprano in the cathedral of Montreal, and learned sight reading when mere boy, thus laying solid foundation of knowl- edge and experience. When, at the age of eighteen, his voice developed into a rich and beautiful tenor his career was decided upon He is a pu- pil of the famous French tenor, .Birtz,o of Montreal; Dobson of Bos- ton, and the well known Swedish teacher in Worcester, Madam Maria Peterson. to whom he gives the credit of bringing his voice to what it is to- day. During his short musical career he has been quite favorite and has had great success, as will be seen by the following press notices:
 Others that will contribute to the oc- casion are Mrs T. B. Fournier of Wor- cester, contralto; Dr J. A. Harpin of Worcester, bass singer; O. 0. Roy, violinist, of Providence; Cordelia Cues. sy, soprano singer, and Regis Cloutier, Worcester, violinist. The curtain will rise promptly at o'clock. After the entertainment a banquet will be given at Concordia hall, which will be at tended by Mayor Eilduff and the city officials

POLICE COURT DOINGs.
Judge Burpee Suspended Sentence 1T
 Alleged Assault Gases.

Alleged Assault Gases.
 The row which laid out Lithuanian on South Leonard street Sunday even ing was fully told in the city court to- day at the trial of the prisoners, Joseph Smith and Joseph Laminte. A fellow countryman of theirs named Michael Neville was the complainant. He stated that he was going on his way when he was set upon by the accused and five others. He was stabbed three times on the head and struck with a blackjack or billy" He tried to get away but was followed by the gang and so severely beaten that he was laid up until yesterday. Still, except ing the mark of the wound on his fore head he did not look a sick or injured man. Smith said he was employed at Plume & Atwood's; that he knew ,noth- ing whatsoever about the row, and that his proper name is William Kun skia, but people are unable to pro. nounce that, he said, .and for conven- fence sake he called himself Smith. He speaks English better than many who were born in the country and came from the coal regions three weeks ago. Laminte said the trouble was over a girl and that he was merely specta- lOT. Iue mGu WHO COIumlCLeQ LQe aS- sau1t have fled the town, he said. Judge Burpee seemed to be impressed with the mems stories and said there was too much doubt enveloping the testimony regarding them. On that account he suspended sentence.
 Maurice Horan, an old soldier, was charged with intoxication and pleaded guilty. He was found by Officer O'Hearn on Brook street and had to be taken to the station house in a team. The excuse he gave was that he had been granted an increase in his pension and he became so exuberant he got intoxicated. He promised the court he would never appear there again. He was taken at his word and let go.
 A complaint aginst William Goukes for carrying concealed weapons was nolled for $25. Goukes was found in state of silly collaboration last even ing firing off his revolver.

SARATOGA, N. r., Oct. 11.--Pro- tected by the Second regiment, the Hudson Valley Railway company is operating it's full schedule of trolley cars in Saratoga, Washington and Warren counties. The striking motor men and their sympathizers are exhib- iting a more belligerent attitude than ever. It is feared that the mass meet ing of strikers and sympathizers called at Glens Falls for tonight will cause a riot of much more serious nature than the one that occurred there last Saturday night.

ON NAUGATUCK DIVISION.
Car Containing Flour Struck by !
 Swifcfler ThiS Morning

eJ VI At@4AeSA AAle 4sAOA AiAh5 5<
 There was small wreck on the Naugatuck division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, right opposite the rolling mill of the Holmes, Booth & Haydens Co.'S con cern, about 2:30 this morning. As a result of the accident part of the rolling mill is missing to-day. A freight car which contained barrels of flour was left on one of the tracks in front of the rolling mill The switcher came along, bumped into it with a crash and sent the car flying off the tracks and it struck the rolling mill building with heavy thud. So great was the crash that large part of the brick building was knocked down. The Watchmen in the mill must have received a great scare and must have thought that a gang of men were after copper. The damage to the freight car was little, but it took q gang of men several hours to get it back onto the tracks again.

SHAW CALLED FOR MUSIC.
Lecture at New Haven Failure-Paid
 Bryan Compliment.


 New Haven, Oct 11.--Leslie NJ. Shaw, secretary of the treasury, opened the republican campaign i'll this city Thursday night with a speech at the Hyperion theater.
 MT Shaw, as even the most hide bound partisan who heard him will ad- mit is no great shakes of an orator, and the enthusiasm of the audience was non-existent. So much did things lag that MT Shaw paused in his speech to say to Senator O. Fl. Platt. who was on the platform:
 Senator, can't some one sing Amer ica? Let's start it up. You sing 1t, senator, and then let us talk about the war"
 Secretary Shaw turned from Senator Platt and made a sign to the Second regiment band to play America, and the band began to play. Then the en- tire audience arose and sang America. led by Secretary Shaw.
 While Secretary Shaw was defining trusts the democrat in the gallery said:
 Why don't you say something about the coal trust?"
 1T think,'' replied the speaker, 'sthat you have a man at the head of this government who is fearless enough. honest, upright and progressive, who has that subject under consideration"
 "Yes but you don't seem to listen to him. yelled the gallery disturber.
 sI don't want to get into discussion of this question" explained the secre- tary: 'but was there with President Roosevelt only a few days ago and this is what heard him say: The doctors tell me must keep quiet because of my leg. But I am ready to undergo any degree of inconvenience, and will % through with this thing if it buries me- That's the kind of friend you have. He'll do anything in the world for you He has 8 heart as big as an apple tree"
 The. secretary. Before that, told about the development of the starch in- dustry in Nebraska, and how com mittee of the citizens, finding fault with the course of William J. Bryan toward the starch concern, called upon the silver leader and told him he must keep his hands off that industry. They said to MT Bryan: s'We are commit ice of indignation to protest against your attitude toward this business"
 ssYou've heard of MT Bryan" said Secretary Shaw to the audience. ssYes." yelled a silverite in the gal | 1ery, ssand he's alive yet" Never mind, my friend" retorted the secretary, s'I have great respect for MT Bryan. I go to hear him every 1 time he comes to my town in Iowa. Why. I help to pay the expenses of some of the meetings when he speaks | in my town"
 l MT Shaw's speech was mainly on tariff lines.

Boiler inspectors Not auaIiaed.

CHICAGO, Oct 11.--Ninety per cent of the men who inspect boilers throughout the United States are not practical boiler makers and conse- quently are not qualified for the work. This is the conclusion arrived at by members of the Master Steam Boiler Makers association, and at sessions being held here they are arranging for campaign that may result in new laws being enacted. The charge of unfitness is said to apply also to a large number of the men who make boilers, and it is one of the purposes to have such workmen licensed when they shall have shown their compe- tencv

Meadows Expel1ed From Austria.

VIENNA, Oct. 11.--John w. Mead ows, qualified American dentist of Philadelphia, has been fined $50 and expelled from Austria under an old law which prohibits foreigners from practicing dentistry in Austria. MT. Meadows was skillful and acted as as sistant to Carl Pichler, a prominent dentist in Vienna. The American was apparently the victim of a plot of one of his former employers, who sent his servant to Pich1er with the special re quest that Mr. Meadows extract a tooth. This is contrary to the law which permits foreigners to act as as- sistants, but forbids them to perform operations.

country II years ago from Alsace after
old age and stroke OF paralysis had
made him unfit TO work his farm any
longer His son. Arthur. who was then
unmarried. paid his fare over and sup
ported him from the time OF his arrival.
The son was a cook in one of the big
hotels He is something OF an artist In

in his old fathers opinion, lived like
prince in three rooms over on the east
side.
Arthur was his own housekeeper there.

home some OF the fancy dishes which he
had to prepare at the hotel
The trouble began three years later,
when Arthur married. The wife took
charge of the home and did the cooking.
She didn't know anything about pates
and souffies, and the old man missed
them.
He abused his daughter-in-law from the
start. and said that she had ruined his
son. A year later a girl was born, and to
pacify the old man.. they named the
babv Alsace. But 1t wasn't very effective.
