Race

New York, May 26.-Not a possible
chance for the Amercas cup is con
eeded to Shamrock III by a yacht
owner and member of the New York
Yacht club, who has wagered $1,50O
to $1,000 that Reliance will win in one,
two, three order. David Barrie, Sir
Thomas Lipton's commercial manager
in this country, took the bet.
Mr.. Barrie was somewhat astonished
when the American in discussing the
chances Of the yachts made the bolds
statement that Shamrock III would
not take one of the series of the
races, but when the offer was made to
back the opinion at the odds quoted,
promptly covered it. Mr.. Barrie ac-
knowledged that his wager had been
made, but refused to name the member
of the New York Yacht club whose
money he expects to win.

Millionaire Offers Bloodhounds to
Track Heffermans' Murderer.
New York, May 26.-Edwin Gould,
The Press says, has offered blood
hounds to the police to track the as
saliant of John Hefferman, the coach
man who was shot near the club Sun
day night.
Mr. Gould's interest in the case is
said to arise from fear Of assaults
upon the wealthy men who live in Tar
rytown. 1t is thought the man who
attacked Hefferman took the coach
man for one Of the rich residents and
expected to find large amount of
money in his pockets. All the million
aires friends are determined that the
murderer shall be found; and the
members of the club are prepared to
offer a large reward for his arrest. The
police will probably accept Mr.. Gould's
offer. Mr.. Gould is reported to have
made all the arrangements to have the
dogs sent to Tarrytown from this city
at an hours notice

Fat People and Perspiration.

Fat People and PersDtrafton.
Fat people are less able to resist the
attacks of disease or the shock of in
juries and operations than the mod
erately thin. In ordinary everyday life
they are at a decided disadvantage.
Their respiratory muscles cannot SO
easily act. Their heart is often handi-
capped by the deposit on it, and the
least exertion throws them into per-
spiration. This last fact is curiously
misunderstood. 1t is almost universal
ly looked upon as an actual melting"
of the subcutaneous fat and is consid-
cred to be natures method Of getting
rid of the superfuity.
But this is not correct, for in spite OF
it's greasy appearance sweat only con-
tains a trace OF fatty matter, rarely
more than 01 per cent, and this comes
If course from the cells of the sudor-
iparous glands and primarily from GER
tain constituents in the blood. A per-
son whose limbs and body are covered
with adipose tissue is in the position of
a man carrying a heavy burden and
