ourDo1Ne THE BACHELORS.

There arc Bachelors Clubs all over the
cou-.try but some of the business men
of the north side OF Syracuse, New York,
have gone one better. They have or
gained "widower's Club" The club
was formed last week and started off
with twenty charter members, but aven
at that THE waiting list Is long one.
The Widowerls Club is not intended 30
discourage matrimony, but it is designed
as an encouragement TO let well enough
alone. One of the charter members
gives the following reasons for the OBJ
ject of the organization:
"When mans been married once,
that's enough. He should give some of
the younger fellows chance. Every
body knows that a widower has great
natural advantages over a bachelor. To
begin with he is older and knows more.
He has been broken in, so to speak, by
his first wife, and he understands as the
bachelor does not, that after marriage
he ceases TO be the whole thing Then
the widowcr is established in businesS
and has ar red income and hone,
while the bachelor has these comfortable
arrangements yet TO make. The widow
er also appreciates the attentions of a
nice girl The bachelor does not because
he has been reared on feminine aduhation
and ignorantly assumes that it Is always
TO be his. He does not know, as does
the widower, that once married he is AN
infnitesimial factor in his wifes home.
He is necessary, like the iceman and the
grocer's boy but he Is treated with scant
ceremony.
No widower who has been married
twice is eligible to membership. When
member does get married the club fines
him $50 and every member of the club
is required to be present at the cere-
mony and to give wedding present not
less than the valuc of ten dollars. The
motto of the club Is "Let Wen Enough
Alone"

TRoTTING AT LEXINGTON.
Charles Dean Suspended a Year for
"Laying Up"

The two-year-old division of the Kentucky
futurfty was won at Lexington yesterday
by Bon Voyage in two straight heats in
Els and 2:15A. With the exception of the
record of 2.14, made by Katherine A., two
years ago, it was the best record event.
Bon Voyage was driven by Charles Marvin.
The event was worth $4,000 to the winner.
In the I'll class pacing the favorite, The
Broncho, and her driver, Charles Dean, and
owner were suspended year for laying up.
The Broncho paced second to Don N. in
the first two heats. The judges were sus-
picious, and when Dean drove out for the
third heat they unseated him and put A. P.
Mcdonald behind the mare. Mcdonald
won the next three heats. Both horse and
driver were suspended. and Mcdonald was
awarded $3.50.
Oxanum, by breaking, gave the second
heat of the 2.01 trotting to Mckinley, but
finally won the race. The favorite, Nancy
r., surrendered the first heat of the 2.14
pace to Funston, but won the race in the
next three heats.
The track was in good condition, but high
wind prevented Major Delmar from start
ing against time.

SHIP TRUST THREATENS.
Demands New York Piers at It's Own
Rate,

dispatch from New York last night
says: A direct threat was served on the
city yesterday by the ship trust, that un-
less 1t can secure docking privileges In the
new Chelsea improvement scheme at its
own terms 1t will withdraw all of the ships
under its control, representing about 100
bottoms, and 4S9, 523 tons, from the port of
New York.
Vice President P. A. S. Franklin of the
International Mercantile Marine voiced the
threat in letter to Dock Commissioner
Featherson, withdra wing the offer made by
the company last December for five and
one-half piers in the new harbor improve
ment scheme because better terms can be
secured elsewhere.
Mr.. Franklin points to Boston, Baltimore
Philadelphia and Hoboken as Offering great
advantages and hints strongly that the
ships of the trust will be transferred to
one of these ports of entry and debarka-
ton II better terms are not offered by this
city.
The four lines of transatlantic steamships
operated by the trust, and clearing from
New York, are the American, the Red Star,
the White Star and the Atlantic Transport.
Most of the crack ocean flyers plying be-
tween American and European ports, in
New York, st. Louis, ST. Paul, Oceanic.
Minnetonka and vaderland are controlled
by these lines, which represent the bulk OF
the $500 100000 of property pooled when
the trust was organized.
Incalculable loss to the commerce of New
York would follow If the trusts threat
should be carried out.

Leonidas Won Bronx Handicap in a
Spanking Drive.

Leonidas, running in the colors of Joe
Yeager, his new owner, won the Bronx
lightweight Handicap, six furlongs, at Nor
ris Park yesterday afternoon. His triumph
was wholly due to a splendid piece of horse
manship on the part of Hildebrand, who
held the Hamburg colt under restraint long
enough to allow the pacemakers, Lady
Amelia and Castalian, to race themselves
to state of exhaustion. Then he cut
Leonidas loose and won in a spanking drive

and the pace was a killer. In the stretch
Lady Amelia curled up, dropping back as
if she had broken a leg. ~Castalian went
on and made bold bid for the race but
he weakened under the whip, and Leonidas
nailed him 100 yards from the wire. Adios,
