Senator Quay's Methodical Ways.
PHILADELPHIA Press.

Some Pennsylvanians at lunch in the
Capitol Saturday were discussing Sena-
tor Quay's methodical ways OF doing
business. One of the lunchers has had a
great deal to do with the senator and
knows his habits.
1.-The old Man never forgets anything -
said this person. II wrote to him once ask
ing a favor, which was granted. About a
year afterward the senator wanted a lit
tie matter attended to up my way and l
received In the mail the Identical letter
which 1 had written him, with the sena-
tors request stated on the back of the
sheet-just few lines like this: Dear Bill,
will you do so-and-so for me?'
did do II? Do you think could over
look 'hunch' like that"

He Likes Tall Men.
Washington Star.

Mr.. Carnegie likes to talk to tall men.
Pittsburg friends say that they have known
him TO deliberately scrape up acquaintance
over class for no other reason in the world
than to ask them how they managed to
grow tall. Mr.. Carnegie has never got
over his boyhood ambition to be big man
physically. He once said to friend
apropos OF this disappointment:
4.'People tell me that / a big man.
But I'm not as big as I'd like to be. Look
at me-"

Edwin l.. Burdiok. prominent club
man of Buffalo, was recently murdered
at night in his own house. His wife had
applied for divorce and was not in the
city at the time OF the tragedy. The
police are OF opinion a woman COM
mitted the crime, as Burdick is alleged
TO have had many love affairs. Nu-
merous theories have been advanced, but
so far nothing tangible has developed.
Two women were questioned by the po-
lice. but were released from surveil-
lance. Arthur r. Pennell. a lawyer who
took a prominent part In the investiga-
ton and who was a friend of the Bur-
dicks. was killed last Tuesday in an au-
tomobile accident. His wife was injured
SO seriously she died the next night.

COMMISSIONERS TRIM
THE MERIDIAN TEAM
Credit of Victory Mainly Due to
the Splendid Form of Fulcher.

In a nip and tuck contest, the Com
missioners downed the Meridians yes
terday in the District Amateur League
The game was played on the grounds
at Thirteenth and d streets northeast
and was witnessed by a large crowd.
The final score was Ga.
Fulcher, OF the District Building ag-
gregation, was in his old time form and
"lobbed EN-" up in such a fashion that
the Meridans could not connect when
hits were needed. The tabulated score
shows an equal number of hits for each
team. but the Commissioners got theirs
when they were needed. The quick
double play executed by Atchison. Fapp
and Crooks OF the winning tribe was
the most salient feature of the matinee

King Pitching Fine Game.

Yesterday was Presbyterians' day in
the Church League. The Fourth and
Sixth crossed willows, and the first
named team walloped the lads from the
Sixth by a score of 12 to l. The game
was called by Umpire Belts at the con-
clusion of the seventh session. The
Sixth lads procured their solitary tally
in the sixth inning
Charlie King pitched excellent ball for
the winners. and allowed but five scat
tered bingles. Briggs, Handy, and Bos-
we'll put up the best article of ball for
the losers, while Billy Wormen played
his old-time game at short, and Bic
laski at third also made good. for the
Fourth lads. Johnnie Scheckles, the
crack all-round player of the Fourth
team was not on hand, and that ac-
counts for the fact that the Fourths
score was not larger.

Strange as it may seem the friction

success in the pennant race were killed.
Washington is hopelessly lost, condi-

SARATOGA, y. Y, Aug. with great
leaps. tired, but courageous. Waterboy
won the Saratoga Handicap yesterday
before the largest crowd that ever
passed through the gates at that track.
Waterboy's success was popular, and
he was viewed as a conquering hero on
his return to the scales. The time,
EOS 3-5. was Is seconds slower than
his worlds record made at Brighton
Beach this summer. Il was a remark
able race for a $4,000 prize.
Whitney Pair Quit.
The showing made by the Whitney
pair. Gunfire and Goldsmith. was disap-
pointing. Neither FLY nor colt was
factor IN the result at any stage of the
struggle. From first TO last they were
beaten. If they had been cheap selling
platers they could not have shown less
speed and stamina. Their running was
a source Of chagrin TO ". c. Whitney
and his friends. The work of both horses
had been so fast Of late that Whitney
was sanguine they would play promI-
nent parts in the struggle, with the
possibility that either one might secure
the long end Of the stake.
The race was marred by an accident.
IN the stretch, just as South Trimble,
John A. Brakes colt, was about 20 chal-
lenge, he was knocked down by Hermis.
The latter. at one time a pacemaker.
became leg-weary as the field swung for
home. He swerved badly just as O'Neill
was about to make his challenge with
e.
running easily at the time. and. as he
IS a great stretch runner. his owner and
John W Gates. both Of whom were pres
ent. entertained the hope that he would
win.
When the Westerners were about to
yell Hermis hit South Trimble, and down
tumbled their hopes and cash. O'Neill
jumped up uniniured. but the horse laid
on the track long after the field had An
Ished. After a ten-minute wait he rose
to his feet slowly and walked TO his
stall. A close examination by his trainer.
Enoch Wishard, revealed that South
Trimbles head was badly cut and the
skull probably fractured Late last
night the stable hands were working
over him, but Wishard believed he would
have TO kill him.
Eleven horses, all the horses that
were carded. made Up the field for the
handicap. The Whitney entry-GOld-
