4 CHANCE TO DO GOOD.

Bret Harte was writer of fine genius, and
he enriched literature with creations of fancy
and humor that the world prizes, and probably
will always prize. He did not, however, enrich
himself Mr.. Pembertons affectionate and
gracious biography of him shows that his life
was continual struggle with adverse circum-
stances, and il now appears that he died in pov-
erty London papers have published an appeal
for assistance for his daughter, Miss Ethel Bret
Harte who is in i'll health and destitute At
her fathers death she was left pennilesS. and
she then made preparations for a career in the
concert room-having talent as vocalist; but
illness prevented the fulflment of her purpose
and she is said to be in positive want George
Meredith the novelist; II. BeerbOhm-Tree, the
actor, and other conspicuous persons, in London
have started n movement for her relief by ask
ing contributions of money from the public that
enjoys ana admires the writings of her lamented
father. One paper states that donations of
"even five shillings would be exceedingly ac-
"ceptable."
The American vOtaries of Bret Harte will
probably not be slow to respond TO this appeal
Horace Greeley once suggested that a contribu-
tion of even one cent from every person who
had derived pleasure from the novels of Sir
Walter Scott would have saved that great writer
from misery and premature death In the vast
population of America there must be thousands
who have read The Luck of Roaring Camp"
THE Heather Chlnee" THE Outcasts of Poker
Flat" and many other notable products of
Brete Harte's brilliant mind and surely they
will care sufficiently for his memory 10 see that
his daughter, whom he loved does not suffer
for the necessarles of life. Official notice is
given that contributions for this good purpose
can be sent to DIR. l. c. Alexander, of Holly
Lodge, Upper Parkfelds, Putney, S. W., Lon

cousin, respectively. of President Roosevelt. The
former pays on $4,000 worth OF personal property
and the latter on 5000 worth while each has large
realty holdings. The senior Roosevelt came to
protest against increase in his personal taxes
fearing that the assessors had raised the amount
since he had quit paying on personal property in
New-York.
He was satisfied about his assessment. Robert
b Roosevelt, jr, made strong protest against
the assessment of $500 his two cottages in Can
Qee-ave-, in Sayvtle. The assessors told him that
he made no protest against paying his personal
tax. but said that if II inceased he would
take up residence in New-YOrk.

against his assessment. and Edwin Hawley the
railroad man, was represented by his brother-in-

THE CHAMPION RACER.

IT is announced that the greatest racehorse
in America, James X. Keene1s unrivahed
Sysonby will not start in the contest Tor the
Saratoga Cup on Saturday Undoubtedly the
affair would afford him another triumph. but
Sysonby is entered for two important stakes III
the later meeting of the Coney Island Jockey
Club and Mr.. Keene is in no mind TO ask too
much of him. His extremely easy victory III
the $4,000 Great Republic Stakes at Saratoga
last Saturday was worthy of MS rcnown Every
owner and every trainer acknowledges his
superority to every master of speed now in
training
One admirable trait of this champion of the
turf is his good temper. He is supremely quick
at the post If through any chance he is not
first away at the outset of long contest he
does not lose his temper nor is he discouraged.
He is eager to move forward and take the lead
at any time when his jockey will encourage
him or even permit him to dash aside all oppo-
sitiOn. and it is not difficult to control him.
Whether inside the stable or the track, while
proud and conscious of his own excellence, he
is not difficult of handling. Almost any jockey
could ride him and win with him. 1t Is the
horse, not the rider. that settles matters in his
case.
Mr. Keene won the Great Republic Stakes for
the second time this year. In 1904 his Delhi,

Il temper and wears hOOd-a fast animal, but
much inferior to SysOnby. Lord ROsebery. in
England, gave a party to working people in
EPSON in celebration of the Derby success of
his Cicero 1t was the favor of fortune for him
that Sysonby was not in the Derby, having been
brought to this country with his dam. Undoubt-
edly he is better than Cicero, who was defeated
in the Great Eclipse Stakes after the famous
EPSON contest.

The greater prevalence Of typhoid in the
mertime is not alone attributable to the water
supply. Many cases of typhoid are undoubtedly
due to impure ice supply and the practice
Of perhaps the majority of people Of putting
ice in water instead Of cooling the latter with
out actual contact with the ice. 1t takes a long
time to educate the many UP to the standard
Of sanitation that prevails among the careful
and the intelligent, and this fact increases the
necessity for most careful scrutiny and inspec-
ton of food and drink supplies by the officers
of the Health Department.
