Amusements Good and Bad.

There is much of what is set down
to-day as necessary human amusement
that is bad, and there is much, also, in
amusement that is good. But some
good people seem to think that IN oIoer
to condemn and eschew the bad they
must condemn and turn away from all.
This is a grievous mistake. A certain
amount ofamusement and recreation is
as necessary. almost, as food and sleep.
The proper thing to do is to draw inc
line against the bad, and approve and
encourage the good. Sunday-school
picnics, innocent games, and weekday
excursions are right, wholesome and
proper. Encourage them. But the
Sunday excursions, and all forms OF
games. recreation and amusement
which lower the moral standard, de-
rade young people, and lead to dis
sipation and ruin, are to be discouraged
and Stunned. by their fruits we shall
know them.'-Religious Telescope.

Typhofd from the Refrigerator.

1 have a friend who became infected
with typhoid fever germs in her own
elegant home where the water, the
plumbing. and everything relating to
sanitary conditions were in perfect
order. But the refrigerator when in
spected by the physician showed crimi-
nal neglect, and the lower shelf was
covered with a Shiny substance which,
placed under the microscope, revealed
scores of typhoid fever germs.
The refrigerator needs cleaning at
least once a week with boiling water
and soda or ammonia, while a sponge
dipped in an odorless but powerful
disinfectant should be placed below.
If the refrigerator has a small cup at
the bottom of the waste-pipe, IL should
often be removed and cleaned, or q
new one bought at a hardware store.

HoRsEMAN sMATHERs' PLANS.
Ed. Geers May Train Millionaire's
Stable Next Season

When S. C. Hildreth made extensive pur-
chases at the yearling sales last fall 1t was
intimated that he was acting in behalf
of E. E. Smathers. Now 1t turns out that
Mr.. Smathers expects to be represented In
the coming two-year-old stakes In the east
by the most select youngsters in the lot,
although there appears to be a tangle of
some sort over the fact that Hildreth, who
is not In good standing with the Jockey
Club, could not under the rules make nomi-
nations to various stakes in the name and
interests of Mr.. Smathers. In winter quar-
tiers at Memphis Mr.. Smathers has a string
of fifty-siX thoroughbreds, the majority be-
ing yearlings who will become two-year-
olds on the LIST of January. McChesney is
In the lot, and will be prepared by Hii-
dreth. 1t is said, for a campaign on the
western tracks early in the year, If he can
stand training 1t is evident that Mr..
Smathers thinks that McChesney will regain
his old form under the present course Of
treatment to which he is being subjected.
for he will enter big Mac" In all the big
eastern handicaps and weight-for-age races.
But when McChesney and the Smathers
tWo-year-Olds come east Hildreth cannot
accompany them in the capacity of trainer.
For two years he has been trying to get
license from the stewards of the Jockey
Club, but, according to well posted racing
men, he has no more chance today than he
had when he was quietly notified that 1t
would be advisable to confne his efforts &C
training horses to tracks outside of the
jurisdiction of the Jockey Club. Who will
train the Smathers stable. then? It will not
be Frank Taylor, Hidreth's brother-in-law,
who took charge of McChesney and the
other horses In Mr.. Smathers' string when
big Mac" came east Taylor did not pro-
duce results that were entirely satisfactory
to Mr.. Smathers, and when the stable. with
the exception of McChesney, was sold last
fall, 1t was simply a case of good-ble to
Taylor While Mr.. Smathers Is not inclin-
ed to say much about his racing plans, It
can be stated with a reasonable amount of
certainty that he 10 seriously considering the
advisability of placing his horses when
they come east, In the hands Of the we'll
known driver and trainer Of trotting horses,
Ed Geers, who has been identified with Mr..
Smathers for some time. 1t Is said that
Geers has grown tired of the trotting end
Of the turf. and thinks he can score greater
successes with the runners. John E. Mad
den, who was formerly a trotting horse
man, Is a shining example for Geers to fol-
low, while w. H. Snyder. the present owner
of Trapper and other good runners was
once exclusively devoted to the sulky. II
Geers trains the Smathers horses, therefore
much interest will be attached to his eff
fort. He Is a thorough horseman and very

swung around and bolted across the track
He colldei with Luralighter and both
horses fell in a heap. Olandt, who had the
mount on kickshaw, was thrown with
great force, just in front of the struggling
horses.
While the crowd clamored instructions in
an excited manner to the assistant starters
to help the boy, several of the track at
taches FASTENED to the spot and picked the
lad up and carried him to the paddock.
There, after considerable attention by
physicians. the lad so far recovered to
permit his removal to his home.
The mishap was the human interest event
of the afternoon in connection with the
sport, but the racing feature was the de-
feat of the two crack two-year-old colts.
In the betting for the Crescent City
Derby.
Rams Horn was beaten in the mile hand
leap by Foxmead. His undoing was
brought about by his effort to give Fox
mead fwenty-eight pounds by the scale.
Foxmead. with the advantage in the
weights. demonstrated that he had con-
siderable speed, for he covered the mile in
1.41.
The contest was strictly between Rams
Horn and Foxmead. They both beat the
barrier at the start and escaped the acct
dent. Foxmead led Rams Horn by a
length to the half-mile post where
the latter moved up, and the two
horses raced on even terms to the home
stretch. Foxmead always held triie of
speed In reserve. while the two-year-old
ran under mild persuasion.
Trapper met his second defeat in less than
a week in the third race His conqueror was
his old antagonist, Kittie Plat. In their
previous meeting she had beaten him out
at difference of eighteen pounds Yes
terday she met him at only eight pounds
advantage, but the result was similar-she
finished in front by open daylight. -
e. r. Thomas. the young millionaire
owner Of Hermis and Stalwart, was one of

cash, as she finished third
