Ten Acre Plot Of Autos.

Chicago. June 20.-The crowd that saw
the American Derby run today was the
largest in the history of the race. 1t
numbered between sc, 900 and 65 900 peo-
pie It was Chicago's greatest gathering
of any year and carried with it an un-
usual display of fashion.
What promised to be a dismal day
turned out to be ideal. The grandstand
was packed before 1 O'Clock. The crowds
started as early as II O'Clock and there
was continual rush of people up to the
time the bugle sounded the call for the
derby
The infeld from the club house to the
head of the stretch was covered by hun
dreds of equipages, the smartest turnouts
that the wealth of the city could produce
IN the intield gathering were 500 vehicles
Of all sorts except automobiles. The auto
mobiles were barred from the grounds as
a matter Of safety. but were allowed space
opposite the main entrance to the track.
1t took ten acres of ground to accOmmo-
date the horseless machines. Society gath
cred at the club house and in boxes and
formed the most fashionable outdoor gath

RECEIVER FOR TRUST
Capitalized at SSO,OOO,OOO
Three Years Ago.

Trenton, \. J.. June 20.-Application
was made in the court of chancerv to-
day by Andrew Fl. McNeal of Burling-
ton. n. J., for the appointment of re-
ceiver for the United States Cast Iron
Pipe company. which has fourteen
plants at different points throughout
the United States. The company was
Incorporated about three years ago with
an authorized capital of $50, 1000, 600. Nc
Neal charges extravaganza and mis-
management He further charges that
the company has been operated more
with a regard for the exploiting of the
company's stock in the stock market
than for the practical utilization of the
comDany's works; that from its organi-
zatlon the cOmpany's management was
dominated by Gen. Samuel Thomas.
whose principal occupa ton, McNeal
says. was that of a promoter of COM
panies and eXDloiter of stocks. McNeal
further charges that since the spring of
1901 the company was dominated by its
president, G. 3. Hayes, whose associ-
ates, he alleged, were hnanciers and ex-
pioiters Of stocks It is averred that
the plant at Buffalo is operated at a
loss Of $4,000 and that plants at West
superior, Bridgeport, South Pittsburg
ana Newport We're dismantled and rem
dered useless and that all of these
plants were acquired at excessive
prices It is also charged that for the
purpose of exploiting stock statements
10 the public were published showing
nearly ST 600 600 surplus, which McNeal
claims is not true.

Stolen Camera Lenses

THE sale of camera lenses is a com
parauYely new branch of the pawnbro-
kers' trade" said a dealer in photo
graphic supplies, but a large number
Irom that source come to the trade to
be reftted with shutters and fanges. A
good lens costs anywhere from $50 to
$3.50, and IS as easy to raise money on
as a good watch. But you will notice
that the lenses you see in pawn -brok-
ers windows are without the hanges.
That is sure sign they have been sto-
len Very few sneak thieves know
enough to lift out shutter and all, but
they can get the lens and make away
with it by simple turn of the wrist
If man who owned a camera were to
take his naked lens to a pawnshop and
say he owned it he would not be believ-
ed, and would have to be content with
the extremely small loan usually made
upon stolen lens Pawnbrokers are
willing to take chances with them. be-
cause the risk of detection is almost nil
and the profits great when they make a
sale. Amateur photographers who
know their business can pick up a good

Effect of Fruit Juice.

1t is matter of common knowledge
that fruit juices exert a most beneficial
effect in the treatment of scurvy and
similar ailments, and their action on
the typhoid bacillus and the colon bacil-
lus which are the cause of many forms
of acute intestinal and other diseases,
has been studied on a considerable scale
by DIR. Reynolds. health commissioner
OF Chicago He finds that the juices of
different species of lemons vary very
materially in germicidal effect. that
from some specimens requiring as much
as 10 per cent to kill all the exposed
germs Lime juice, apple juice and
grape Juice all have a more or less in
hibiting effect. but the bottled grape
juice sold at grocery stores gave the
most conclusive results. Distilled and
tap water were infected with the bac-
terra. and bottled grape juice added in
proportions varying from 1 to ) per cent.
Examination showed that some brands
had killed the germs at the end of the
first minute, as did also the lemon juice
of a proper strength. Strangely enough,
the freshly extracted juice of the grape,
prepared in the laboratory, had no ef-
feet even in a proportion OF 100 per
cent.-London Telegraph
