of the river, on little bayou which
reached out from the main stream. The

The seoret of Happy Life.

Come to think of it, life is made up
of but one day at time. Neither to-
morrow nor yesterday is ours. To
make the best of every day is the
secret of happy life. In making
the best of every day business and
pleasure are equally cared for, and
perfection is made of the we'll doing
of trifies. So each morning plan
well, and each day endeavor to live
out the plan. The world is full of
good things and beautiful things, If
one sets out to look for them. In
this may be found the secret of a
successful and happy life.-Chicago

Mortality In Cuba.

Westinghouse copy Of the monthly
report of DR.. G. R. Finlay, chief SAM
tary officer for the island OF Cuba,
which has been received at the Cuban
legation here, contains the following:
1.-The showing for 1902 and the be.
ginning of 1902, is very satisfactory,
not only in regard to the complete ex-
emption from yellow fever and small
pox, but also in the number of deaths
from malaria in the total mortality.
There has been no smallpox on the ISL
and since June, 1900, or yellow fever
since September, 1901, and the pro-
gress in the decrease in malaria has
continued without interruption. The
condition regarding tuberculosis, how
ever is not so satisfactory. There
has been an increase of to 6 per cent
in deaths from that disease in each
of the years 1901 and 1902 and at the
present time the proportion Of deaths
from that cause to the general NOR
tally amounts to over 16 per cent. The
board of health is making efforts to
test the efficiency Of sanitary measures
in that direction.

LENGTHS.
He Made the Best Time Ever Made in

1t Took 10 Acres Of Ground to Hold
the Automobiles.

Chicago, June 21.-The Picket, a
horse that never before finished first
past the post, won the American Derby.
He set the pace every step Of the dis
lance, was never challenged, and won
in gallop by six lengths. He ran the
derby distance, one and half miles,
faster than it was ever run before in
the race. His time was 2:33.
Claude, the winner of three derbies,
was second. Bernays, the Cincinnati
candidate, was third. 1t was race
without the thrill of an exciting finish.
The crowd of 10000 people which wit
messed the sixteenth running of the
event saw contest that had been de-
cided when the field turned into the
stretch. In front of struggling neid
The Picket ran so easily and truly as
to leave no doubt where he would fin
ish. The roar of cheers which greeted
the successful horse began when The
Picket was more than an eighth of a
mile from the wire.
The crowd that saw the American
derby was the largest in the history of
the race. 1t numbered between 10000
and 10000 people. 1t was Chicagos
greatest gathering of any year and
carried with it an unusual display of
fashion. What promised to be a dis
NAL day turned out to be an ideal one.
The grandstand was packed before /
O'Clock. The infield from the club
house to the half stretch was covered
by hundreds of equipages, the smartest
turnouts that the wealth of the city
could procure. In the infield were 500
vehicles Of all sorts except automo-
biles. The autos were barred from the
grounds as matter of safety, but we're
allotted space opposite the main en-
trance to the track. 1t took ~ acres
of ground to accommodate the horse.
less machines. Society gathered at the
club house and IA the boxes and
formed the most fashionable outdoor
gathering that ever assembled in Chi
cago.
Record Breaker Of the Turf.
The derby was record breaker of
the turf. Nineteen horses went to the
post, the last previous field having Is.
The largest crowd that ever gathered
on western racetrack covered the
Washington park grounds. The p
was worth $32,275, gross value, the
richest in the history of the race, with
one exception. Betting on the race
began in March and continued until
the horses went to the post. More
money, it is asserted, was wagered on
the derby than on any other race ever
run in America.
The victory Of The Picket was no
surprise, because surprise was ex-
pected. But there were some big dis
appointments. Savable. the favorite
son of Salvador, thought by John A.
Drake to be invincible, failed to live
up to his reputation. He received a
ride from Jockey Lester Reiff that
seemingly a novice could have dupli-
Gated. Savable was never dangerous,
and the fortune bet on him by his own
er went to enrich the bookmakers.

Congress Now Busy.

Congress is undoubtedly getting down to
business. While measures are shaping
themselves the Senate contents itself with a
weekly session of four days, and that ordi-
narily is enough. When measures have
taken shape and contests over them have
begun, then the adjournment from Thurs
day to Monday ceases to be the rule. The
six-day sessions have begun. The Senates
galleries are filling up. The debates are
spirited. and there is something worth
hearing every day. To be sure, it is not SO
clear to the outsider, even the trained OBJ
server, just what the play is-just which
bills are marked for slaughter and which
for passage-but it is interesting to note
and important to know that energy is now
the order Of the day, and that the prospect
is legislation other than the appropriation

The Union Station Bill.

The conference on the union station bill
mas reached the point. according to report,
OF disagreement over the question of the
reduction by the House in the money pay
ments to the two railroad corporations
The railroads object to the loss of net
million from the bonus TO be paid them,
and the House representatives sturdily re-
sist all propositions to compromise the diff
erence. 1t is to be hoped and expected that
this deadlock In conference will not be pro-
longed to the jeopardy of the measure at
this session. There is still ample time for
an agreement and the issue is susceptible
of adjustment. For instance, it is not es-
sential 20 consider the two railroads as
standing on an equal footing merely be-
cause the same sum is named in each case.
The two bonuses are offered by Congress
for quite distinct reasons and are to be
paid on different bases.
The bonus to the Baltimore and Ohio,
furthermore, is subject to certain offsets
in view of the changes which have been
proposed In the legislation since the orig
inal sum of s1.5O00OO was named in the
law of 1901 That act placed the station
site at street and necessitated a viaduct
fully twelve hundred feet longer than that
which will be required with the terminal at
the cost of the construction should have an
effect upon the share of the expense t. BE-
borne by the community. Likewise the
change to Massa chusetts avenue makes
valuably available for street and plaza and
other purposes a large amount of land
owned by the Baltimore and Ohio which it
will withdraw from railroad use when the
terminal is built. There are several dis
tinct Items of financial gain to the Bal J.
more and Ohio in the change to the Massa-
chusetts avenue site.
These elements are to be reckoned with
out reference to the bonus which the gov
eminent in its generosity proposes to pay
to the Pennsylvania road for the relinquish-
ment of the public lands now occupied by
the corporation The House argued that
inasmuch as the B. and o. bonus should
properly be reduced IN view of the change
of plans the Pennsylvania bonus. which was
a guesswork figure, should likewise be
leSsened. AS to this matter the District is
not directly interested, but it does hope
that. without endangering the chances of
the bills final passage this year, the House
conferees will insist upon their position
with regard to the B. and o. bonus, which,
the capital partnership, should now he more
