 Saratoga, that Saratoga which is sub

 monds and harboring society as fast as
 the fleet horses of its racetrack, has sensation A true sport has "welcheo." At first blush the utterance is a grievous | paradox, for no true sport can 'welch." 1 If he "welches' he Is not a true sport: he Is a "four-fusher' and is not touted l for a Metropolitan or Derby-never. | n3t ever
 But to return. Saratoga has paused
 in its automobile flight after pleasure to

 last decade of his life to building up a
 racing stable-a serious occupation. by

 refuses to recognize a gambling debt. As
 the story goes while the roulette wheel

 of the chips fell to fifty cents-in the players estimation. The house con siders that the total loss was s164 and

himself, and the latter will make them known no doubt if the Advertiser will apply to him for them Broadly, they are these: In 1892 Grover Cleveland was opposed by Benjamin Harrison, republican, and by MT. Weaver, popu- list. The three parties were approxi mately equal in Nebraska. MT Bryan had accepted the nomination of MT Cleveland cordially, and had begun a canvass for him. He saw, however, as no doubt did MT. Cleveland, and as all clear-headed public men of that year did, that the only way in which the electoral vote of Nebraska could be kept from going to MT. Harrison, was by concentrating the opposition vote upon MT. Weaver. This is what Mir Bryan did, and he did it in the interest of Mir. Cleveland's friends.
 A bolt of that nature is a very diff ferent sort of thing from a bolt in- tended to defeat the democratic can didate. MT. Bryan tried to aid the democratic candidate of 1892 by de- priving the republican candidate of the vote of Nebraska. The bolters of 1896 tried to defeat the democratic candidate and elect a republican, and they did it. Such bolting, esteemed Advertiser, "has not lost it's force" among straightforward people.

ONE YANKEE RACIAL TYPE"

From Harper's weekly.
 A district racial type. ,'as marked. all most. as that of any European people, has certainly been evolved in the United States; but 1t does not bear any par ticular resemblance to the Indian type. It is not difficult to designate an Ameri- can man or woman in Europe; and Americans abroad are recognized not only on account of their clothes and speech and external manner. but by that something distinctive in face and form and temperament which we call race. It is true that there are certain superficial differences between eastern and western Americans, between northerners and southerners; but it is a curious thing that. in country of such length and breadth and of such diverse climatic con- ditions, In a country peopled by descend ants of so many branches of the Cau- casian family, a national racial type that is fairly uniform and predominant should have been produced in a few generations and should be able to assimilate to itself the vast horde of foreign clements which is continually being absorbed into it.

THE MORGAN OF JAPAN.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 Long before J. P. Morgan tried his daring experiment of organizing the ship trust, Baron Stibusawa of Japan ce- mented a number of warning lines into the Japan Mail Steamship company. the fifth largest shipping corporation in the world. For this he has been named the Morgan of Japan
 Shibusawa was one of the first Japan csc to taste European civilization, having been sent to Paris in the time of Na- poleon III. When he cut off his topknot discarded his two swords and arrayed himself in European garments his rela- lives cried out that he had disgraced himself. But he persevered until he was named assistant vice minister of finance by a modern Emperor.
 He soon resigned. fin his own words, to introduce the company system into Ja- pan" For that country he Is tho father of the trust He is now a director or of- ficer in fifty great companies. ranging from commerce to cotton spinning. and has lived to see Japanese industries in- crease, as he says, "some twenty times. some ten times, and none less than five times"

COAL IN INDIAN TERRITORY.

From the Kansas City (Mo.) Journal.
 The coal beds of Indian Territory are generally from three to five feet in thick ness, and the product Is of excellent quail ity for steam and domestic purposes and also for the manufacture of coke and gas. The coal area of the Choctaw Nation is a continuation of the Arkansas fields. Be- ginning at Howe this field extends to a point about five miles west of South Mo- Alester. At this end the segregation may show a thin belt of coal land extending in a southeasterly direction. Above the eastern end of this coal belt there is an area in which are located the McCurtain mines. Here the coal is of a semi-anthra- cite quality and tests show it to be of cok- ing quality although no coke Is yet being made here. At Howe the process of mak- ing coke has been going on for some years and the coal there is we'll adapted to that purpose. The same may be said of the coal In other parts of the territory. In the western district of the Indian Terri tory is found coal which, as one expert expressed it, makes gas of as fine quality as any to be found in the country. For steam. domestic, colxing and gas purposes the Indian Territory coal takes high rank

Concerning CorpuIence.

"Persons accustomed to active physical exercise cannot afford to give 1t up." said an authority.
 ''Wilson Lippincott died the other day at Bristol Pa, weighing 560 pounds. Thirteen men had all they could do to carry to the hearse the casket containing his remains, and a derrick was used to lower it into the grave. The account of his life states that he was once a noted jig dancer Possibly If he had never danced jigs he would never have grown so fat. The abandonment of the exercise is very likely to have been a cause of the increase of his avordupois.
 "A few years ago the fashion of bicy- cling led many people to take violent ex- ercise When the general craze subsided, they stopped. Today many of them find their dress suits too tight for comfort. and are deploring a wider waist measure than they ever had before. Walking or riding in automobiles will not save them from corpulence. They will have to ob- serve precautions in eating and drinking, and engage in some form of daily physi- cal exertion, or join the ranks of the obese"

Modes of Raptlsm.

Said an old layman yesterday: 'In read ing a discourse on the sacrament of bap- tism delivered by the Rev Father Kerri- gan at St. Pauls church Sunday, l re- called the discussions of the famous preacher and controversionalist, Dr. Alex ander Campbell, in the fifties. Theological debates have gone out of fashion. Father Kerrigan's lecture was not controversial but was merely along the line of instruc- tion But when I was a young man the Calvinists and the Arminians and the Anglicans and the nonconformists and the Anabaptists and the Paedobaptists had lively times. The debate between Archbishop Purcill of Cincinnati and Dr. Campbell on the subject of
 ,nti7m was notable and no abler theo- logical controversy ever took place in this country. In reading those controversial discourses I first became acquainted with the word infusion in its church sense, which is so familiar to Catholic priests and learned Protestant ministers. Infusion is baptism by pouring water upon the head of the person baptized and Is the mode practlced in the Catholic church. In the primitive church immersion was ire quently if not altogether practiced and in the Creek church 1t Is the only mode used today. The Presbyterians, Episcopalians and Methodist baptize by sprinkling, called asperson.
 By the way, Websters dictionary which is high authority, as a rule. on word meanings. is decidedly misleading in definition No. 8, under the head of 'Infusion'-'The act of plunging or dip- ping into a huid immersion The Gen. tury dictionary, the Standard distionary and all the other authorities that I have consulted recently give the correct defini- tion of infusion as theologians use 1t.
 In early times the candidate for bap- tism, infant or adult, wore robe of white linen, called a chrisom. In Catho- lie practice now this white vestment is used in the ceremony but it is not worn by the candidate. It is placed on the left shoulder of the soul baptized, and is en- tirely symbolcal. In the Latin ritual what is known generally as the chrisom is styled vestes condida.

IS GALLANTRY IN THE
 SOUTH NOW DECADENT

south gives up his seat in the street car 10 woman, but he does not show such alacrity when it comes to railway travel.
 A long ride aboard a train offers dis comforts at its best. When one has no seat the prospect is appalling and the realization anything but sweet In street car the ride is but short, and the discomfort of standing is trivial Is 1t gallantry that makes the man ready. to subject the woman to the greater hard ship? Let ladies enter a crowded rail- way coach and see how many men rise to offer a seat Though the ladies may have the advantage of youth and beau- ty, there will be no mad scramble of men to make room for them. In street car there would be pretty rivalry to see who could give up his place.
 Men probably reason that they pay for their seats aboard the trains and that 1t is the place of the railway com panies to see that there are enough seats. The same process of reasoning might be employed aboard the street cars. It is the prospect of greater personal incon- venience that renders the masculine pas- sengers less responsive to the demands of gallantry aboard a train than they are aboard a street car.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
State Fair of 1903.

President Allen J. Krebs and his associates are busily engaged in organ izing a state fair that will be a credit to the entire state. It will be held from October 15 to October "A, and it's eighteen departments will be both comprehensive and educational. Every industry and every one of the natural resources of the state will be amply shown and illustrated at the coming fair. Tn the woman's department, for example, it is hoped to have attractive exhibits from every one of the sixty seven counties in the state. What Mrs. Reid is doing in that department, others are doing in the other seven teen departments of the fair, and the whole will be an exhibition very cred itable to the state.
 On account of the failure three years ago by another and altogether differ ent management to pay premiums, some difficulty was experienced in 1902 in securing representative exhibits, but the prompt payment by President Krebs of all premiums last year has overcome that trouble. All premiums wip be promptly paid, and tue entire fair will be conducted on proper plane. There will be amusements for all there will even be midway full of attractions, but all will be conducted in a manner beftting a fair that rep resents a broad and populous state.

OvercroWded Courts.

Growth Is growth, and the imperial county of Jefferson has outgrown its courts. It has outgrown them so far that costly delays are imposed upon litigants, and gross injustice is there by done. The situation has become so aggravated that it is well-nigh hope less unless more legal machinery is unprecedented growth of the county, but many will be to blame if remedy is not found before the legislature ad- journs next month.
 The Age-Herald has no desire to ob- trude any laymen's views on the law yers who are wrestling with the prob lem, and who will meet on Thursday morning next to adopt plan for re- that some plan is absolutely and plain ly needed, and 1t hopes the lawyers will be patriotic and unselfish when they meet next Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. Let each man remember that he is but one of two hundred law yers in the county, and that he has no more right to impose his will on his brethren than each one of them has to compel him to conform to their respective wills and desires and hob- bies. Let all attend the meeting with the common purpose of devising practicable although not an ideal plan of relief The congestion is more ex- pensive to the people than it is to the lawyers, and the latter should keep in mind the former in all they do.
 The legislature will not meet after September until January, 1907, and it would be intolerable to let growth of population and business clog the pres ent courts until that time This should not be permitted, and it will not be difficult to secure relief if all who at tend the meeting of next Thursday morning will agree upon the form and manner of it.

 N POPULAR belief has long as-
 PU cribed to the southern man gall lantry that makes him ready ever
 to spare one of the weaker sex trial by
 taking it upon his own shoulders. From
 the time whereof the memory of man
 runneth not to the contrary" the name
 of southerner has been symbolic of
 courtesy, especially as evinced toward
 women. that shows just a shade more
 gracefully than that displayed by men
 of the east, north or west. This concep- tion of southern deference to feminine
 charms Is based upon the picture that nearly everyone has either from memory or from authors who have sought to de- scribe the unfailing politeness and the ur-
 bane manner of the gentleman of the .old school Truly enough this picture repre- sents the type of a former day. Does 1t truly depict what might be called the corresponding type of the present, the average number of a class whose oppor- tunities through birth and training have advanced 1t beyond the status of the hoi poloi?

 probably the most striking opportunities to judge as to whether there is a deca-
 dence of southern gallantry. The truest politeness of man toward woman is that which Is not called for by acquaint- ance, but that which springs solely from an innate wish on the part of the man that the woman may have the best there is. Personality has no part in such de- sire Be the woman young or old. pret- ty or plain, the chivalrous instinct still asserts itself. Of course man will ex- ercise every means to see that a woman whom he Is escorting or woman with whom he is acquainted suffers no discom- fort which his intervention or self-denial can prevent.
 The picture of the southern gentleman of old however, shows one who Is un- failing polite to women whom he knew and to women whom he knew not. Such a man would have hung forever to the strap of a street car rather than fail to give up his seat when a woman was standing, and we even like to think that he would have deserted Pullman, parlor car or frst-class coach, to seek comfort as best he could in the smoker. if woman passenger were not seated. At the present day the gentleman in the
