Racing at New orleans.

New Orleans, March 21.-Safeguard
and Henry of Franstamar were the only
winning favorites. Foley, who rode
Radiant Heat in the second race, was
seriously hurt when the horse fell.
Considerable comment has followed
the suspension of Hart Dernham be-
cause of the shady fashion in which the
gray gelding Worthington was crowded
into first place Monday. The stewards
agreed that the gelding was forced to
win-literally "shooed'' in under the
wire. WOrthington showed no better
form than in previous trials, but the
horses behind evidently forced the geld
ing as a winner Despite this cOnclu-
sion the stewards assessed no penalty
against the owners of the horses that
did the "shooing''
Hart Dernham was before the stew
ards and what transpired IS not known,
as neither Dernham nor the stewards
would talk. E. l. Bohlinan, who was
ruled off the turf Saturday for asking
Edward Corrigan for $500 that was
owed to him, was before the stewards,
but nothing was given out.

Unless Davis and DeIehanty
Show Repentance
They Will Be Disciplined BY the
National League.
IDEA OF HERMANN.
President Of Cincinnati Reds
Names Terms.
Declares Double Dealing Will
Not Be Tolerated.
IDEA OF HERMANN.

Cincinnati March 21--The oft repeat
ed threats OF Edward Delehanty and
George Davis not to abide by the pro-
visions of the now famous peace COM
pact which was entered into in this city
by representatives of the National
and American leagues may precipitate
another war. Speaking of this today,
President Hermann of the Reds said:
THE peace compact was entered into
in good faith, and all its provisions must
be lived up to- It is simply a question
of whether two players are greater than
two leagues. The peace compact was
ratified by unanimous vote of all
clubs in both leagues. Mr.. Brush voted
for the peace compact along with the
other club owners. Why, I would get
out Of the National league and out of
the business, too, before would stand
by and see that compact violated. Such
double dealing is not right and will not
be tolerated If Delehanty should re-
fuse to play with Washington this sea-
son he can be reserved by that club just
the same, and then if he refuses to play
there the following year, we should get
together and blacklist him. With Dele
hanty and Davis it is Simply q case of
playing where they can get the most
money. If these two men attempt to
play with the New York National league
club we viii not play our scheduled
games against that team

Fred Clarke Of the champions stated be-

was talking Barney Dreyfuss and Stan
ley Robson were in earnest converse
ton the object of which, it was after
ward learned, was to consumnate deal
whereby the willy Pittsburg magnate
could retain Burke without breaking
faith with the st. Louis officials
THAT swap can be made in two sec

Robson. From authoritative sources II
was learned that the swap" was the
retaining Of Burke by Pittsburg and the
releasing Of another Pirate, name as yet
unknown. to the Cardinal camp.
I can't spare Burke" was Clarke's
ultimatum. Though he does not go
with US to the springs continued
Clarke. 1T is a safe bet that Jimmy Will

Hutchinson, Kan, March 2l.-It turns out
that the dynamite explosion near Plevna

and well executed joke.

sion Of the story. The driver was a boy
a years old. Like all boys he was curl
Gus, and asked the Oldest of the men what
he Travelled for The old man said dyna-
mite. and said he had several sticks of it
in his grip. When Plevna. was reached he
got out and bought a giant firecrac lzer.
After they had proceeded a short distance
one of the men touched d lighted cigar to
the cracker and it exploded. The effect
was not expected. The side and bottom
of the buggy were torn away as stated.
For the benefit Of the boy the joke was
kept up, and he brought home the story
that it was a dynamite explosion.

The Only Way to Cure.

In most chronic diseases the only way to cure
is to strengthen the inside nerves.
Remedies that merely docthor the weak or
gans may seem to bring brief benefit. But real
results come only when we restore the inside
nerves. This is the power which alone operates
the vital organs And no weak organ can do it's
duty until that nerve power comes back.
My Restorative does that always. I have
spent lifetime in perfecting it for just this one
purpose. 1t treats weak organ as you would
treat weak 'engine-by giving it more power.
It does all that is needed, and does that which
must be done, whether the trouble is little or
severe.
