Turf enthusiasts here have been waiting
eagerly for this date to roll around.
Every Indication points to d; phenome-
nally successful season in the cast this
year. Under the skillful management Of
the Jockey club, dominated by, August
Belmont, the various racing associations
have mapped out plans that in point Of
liberaiity and, scope exceed all previous
efforts. Increased values as to purses
and stakes can be: taken as conclusive
proof Of the prosperity of racing and at
the same time they may we'll illustrate the
policy that pervades the eastern turf. AS
a result Of hanging UP so many attractive
turf prizes the tracks stand ready to reap
a harvest, for the owners, big and little,
have responded with a volume of entries
which include the best horses. in training
in the United States. T..
After. July there will be no. public gam
bling permitted in Texas on horse races

most drastic antipool selling bill possible
to be drafted has been passed in the legis-
lature and will go to Governor Lanham to-
day and receive his approval. For each
day, that the law is violated pool sellers
will be subject to fines Of $500 and ninety
days Imprisonment. The purchasers of

DUEL WITH RAZORs.

With only narrow room for their
battle ground, two brothers, John and
Philip Colback, fought silent and des-
perate duel with razors at their home,
on Thirty-second street northwest Wash
ington, last night. Both were badly
cut, the former perhaps fatally. They
were taken to the Georgetown University
Hospital, where at late hour the sur
geons were still at work suturing the
gashes. According to the police reports
of the affair, it was the old story OF
rivalry for a woman's love. Both broth
ers were said to be courting young
woman who lived on lower floor in the
same building, but which one was
favored only the three most concerned
know. Philip Colback came home and
went TO bed early last evening, and if
his statement be true, his brother came
in some hours later and began accusing
him of mot playing fair in trying 10
secure the young woman's affection.
The wordy battle following provoked a
more serious quarrel, in which fists
were the principal weapons. Then one
of the brothers secured a razor. The
other followed suit, and in moment 1t
was struggle for life. John Colback's
chin was cut when his brother made a
unge for his neck. He made a des-
perate attempt to retaliate, but Philip
threw up his hand, and the blade en-
tered his wrist, almost seyering the
hand. Philip proved the stronger,
and John rapidly got the worst of the
struggle. He grabbed his brothers razor,
and the blade slipped through his fin
gers, cutting each one. Phillip made
another stab and the sharp edge passed
almost half way around his weaker an
tagonist's neck, cutting the muscles and
very nearly reaching the vital jugular
vein. Other occupants of the house had
been attracted by the noise of the shuf-
fling feet and tried to get into the room,
but found the door locked. Finally the
barrier was forced down and the COM
batants, both weak from loss of blood,
were separated. The police were noti-
fed, and the duelists were carried to the
hospital. John Colback was found to
be suffering from deep cash in the
neck, cut across the chin almost paral-
lelng his mouth, two small slashes
across the back of the hand, and cut
fingers. The wound in the neck re-
quired many stitches TO close, and he
had very narrow escape from bleeding
to death. When the last report was re-
ceived he was said to be in serious
condition. Philip Colback escaped
with no worse injury than the cut wrist,
and while he, too, lost much blood, the
doctors say that he will recover and that
the wound should heal rapidly.

MEDICINAL.

The distracting headaches from which
so many women suffer make life a daily
pargatory. If men suffered with head
ache as women do, business would be
almost at a stanstill. Does not the fact
that men do not suffer from these severe
headaches suggest that there must be a
wonlanly cause for them1

SUICIDE OF A BAKER.-While his
wife sat by his bedside, Adolph Gass-
mann, forty-one years old, a prominent
baker of the northwestern section Of
Washington, committed suicide yesterday
by shooting himself He had been suf-
fering from typhoid fever for three weeks
aud yesterday marked the crisis in the
disease. While in delirious condition
he secured possessiono of revolver,
which was in the drawer of stand nea
his bed, and ended his life. A trained
nurse had been assisting Mrs. Gassmann
in caring for the sick man, but she retir-
ed from the room at 2o'clock for short
rest. Mrs. Gassmann took her place, and
was sittiug by window at the foot Of
her husbands bed when he asked for
drink of water. Evidently no one but
the sick man remembered that the reyol-
yer was in the drawer Of the stand. which
was placed beside the bed to hold medi-
cines. When his wife was out of the
room getting the glass of water, Mr.. Gass-
mann opened the drawer and secured the
weapon. She returned, and he took a
drink. Mrs. Gassmann had just resumed

KEEPING ISSUE ALIVE.

President Roosevelt adheres to his de-
termination to compel the people of
Charleston, S. c., to submit to a contin-
uahue of the service OF Dr. William d.
Crum, the negro Collector of the Port Of
that city. The nomination of DIR. Crum
was again sent to the Senate yesterday.
The Senate committee on commerce re-
ported adversely on Crnm's nomination
during the Fifty-seventh Congress, and it
failed of confirmation without being voted
on in the Senate. The people of Charles
ton vigorously opposed this appointment,
and it was we'll understood that the SEN
ate, as well as the committee on com
merce, respected the wishes of the com
munity. But on the adjournment f
Congress without confirming Crum the
President made him a recess appoint
ment. The nomination has been again
referred to the committee on com
merce confirmation will be resisted
by the two Senators from South
Carolina, and it is not believed that the
Senate will confirm the appointment.
simultaneously with the Presidents ac-
ton in this matter Representative Crum-
packer, of Indiana, yesterday reintro-
duced his resolution designed to reduce
the representation in Congress of those
southern States which have restricted
negro suffrage.
1t is understood that Representative
Dick, of Ohio, will try to secure the
passage of his resolution providing for
an investigation into the subject OF negro
disfranchisement, which aims by more
indirect process to accomplish the same
thing which Mr.. Crumpackers resolu-
ton does. 1t is not the expectation,
however, that either the Crumpacker or
the Dick proposition will be acted upon
during the special session of Congress
or the first regular session before election.
Mr.. Crumpacker says that his object is
to keep the question alive, but that he
does not expect action before election.
The course of the President in again
nominating Crum and the reintroduction
of the pegro-suhrage question In the
House are regarded as indicative OF a
purpose to keep alive the race issue.
