Derby winner. Robert Waddell, down on

1904 Derby colt. Peter Paul. against Fred
Cooks cot. English Lad. at six furiongs

owner Bradley's banter to Trainer Phil
lips caused much gossip around the track.
Some laughed at the proposed match.
while others thought Of Robert waddell
and said English Lad might meet his
Waterloo at that. Robert Waddell ran a
mile in 1:40 as a 2-year-old. Peter Paul
has performed Just as creditably, and he
is now a 3-year-old. and Bradley says he
is thoroughly convinced that he is a bet
ter horse han the Derby winner which he
raised.

Derby colt this year. because I am not

Peter Paul has been running all spring

Yet after his sudden death it developed
that he had been a sick man for years,
and that he was victim of organic dis
ease.
Proctor was wonderfully active man.
He was ever on the co. It was impossible
for him to- keep still for minute. In
conversation he would jump up from his
chair and pace up ard down the room
gesticulating vehemently. :s.s~
Only a few days before he died he had
received allowing cup from the president
and few chosen friends who were wont
to gather with him at the white house;
for democrat though he was, Proctor was
very close to the presidents heart.
He was a chivalrous southerner who,
as a boy, rode out to the war even when
the cause of the confede rcay was known
to be lost, and his chivalrous spirit did
i, not grow dim. He was as full Of hope
and of lofty ideals the day he died as
he was the day he enlisted in the lost
cause. '.
| Proctor was poor almost to the limit
of poverty. He has given his life to the
public service, doing work in which he
! took an absorbing interest. His salary
as civil service commissioner was one OF
the smallest on the government pay roll,
! but small as it was it was the only in
come he had and for ten years he had de-
MED himself ordinary comforts in or
i der to make both ends meet. The only
; legacy he left was two boys--one in the
army and other in the navy-of whom
he was proud and fond. His active mind
was never at rest. His courage never
failed.

law practice in Chicago he found to his
dismay that the threads had. Slipped
away from him and that his place at the
bar had been taken by younger and
stronger men. The time came whsn he
was practically dependent upon his pen
sion and that was nearly eaten up with
the expenses of medical attendance, for
he is sad suffereF from the wouE ds
which he received in the war. So.
When he was in Washington last Oc-
tober at the time of the unwilling of the
Sherman monument he was taken down
from the results of exposure and was
carried to the hospital, where for days
he lay between life and death: It was
then that Mrs. Logan took his case in
hand. She went to the pres1dente ara

gallant old veteran. Sheorged that Some

Was Enough.

On one of his trips west, Frederic
Remington, the artist, made the &C.
quaintance of cowboy who was called
by his associates "Hollering Smith," In
appearance, relates the Philadelphia
Post, the man was typical of his kind,
and Mr.. Remington made several studies
Of him, both in repose and when in his
favorite pastime of '.hollering."' Later,
when back in his studio, the artist en-
bodied a rather close portrait of the ex-
uberant Smith in several drawings for
magazine, most Of them showing him
in state of eruption. Later Mr.. Rem
ington again visited Smiths neighbour
hood, and on the afternoon of his arrival
was approached by that worthy bearing,
one of the pictures torn from the maya
zine. Pointing to the central figure. he
said: So:
"Say, is that me?" -:
''Well,' replied Mr.. Remington,
guardedly, Il got the idea from you,
Of course. but"
"Oh, it's all right" broke in the man :

well, yes; it's a fairly close portrait
of you" ~

turned the leaf to his pocket, IF that's
the state of the case then all I've got to
say is that Hollering Smith has hollered
the last holler that he'll ever holler.

off the face of the earth. OF course the
owners of the shanties will oppose the re-
form, for it will mean the loss of thou
sands of dollars to them and they will
have to invest their money in some other
way-Which is always nuisance-but
sooner or later the change must come.
1t would not be strange II the presi-
to call the attention of congress to the
matter in special message; for he is

The most astonishing thing about this
whole business is that the disease and
wretchedness of the alley finds their way
inevitably into the very finest homes in
the city. Nine-tenths of the domestic
servants of Washington are negroes and
large proportion of these come from
the alleys. In many instances they drift
back to the alley novels every night. to
sleep. The peril that thus creeps into
the homes of the city can hardly be ex-
aggerated. So
Domestic service IN Washington is less
expensive than in any other city in the
country. The wages that are commonly
paid would not, be considered for mo-
ment in any other community, but the
colored people who perform the service
are alley denizens. Tc wipe out the al
legs means an increase in the cost OF Hv-
ing for them and an increase in the cost
Of living must result in corresponding
, increase in wage :

Every square of the city is bisected by

are built, up with miserable shanties
rented at excrbitant rates to the poorer

to some of the wealthisst citizens Of

three or four families of human beings

The death rate among these wretched
creatures is simply astounding. Mr..
Riis puts the mortality among infants
less than year old at almost SIS per cent
There is no death rate equal to this any
where else in the civilized world. If it
were among white people there would
have been an outcry about it long before

cleaned out like the pest they are; but
the victims are negroes and in this town
