ON THE RACE TRACK
At New Orleans.

| New Orleans, January 9.-The ring laid a false price, F to 1, against Merry Aero bat today, for with poor racing luck and considerable interference he beat the well supported Red Raven head in the second race. Far West and Florentine, the latter Of whom outclassed his companions, were the only winning favorites, though change of riders would have added Home stead to the list. In this race. the fifth. Aubuchon's well judged ride landed St. Sever a winner after Misanthrope had made all the running. Gregor K. set too fast pace in the last race and had nothing left to stall off Dereszke.

KING MACRAE.
Monarch of Tlerra del Fuego Rues
 With Bagpipes.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail
 In new kits and plaid and playing a pibroch of triumph on his pipes, John Farquharson Macrae. formerly of Scot land, but now of Tierra del Fuego, strode the gangway of the Oruba at Liverpool yt sterday, bound once more for South America During twenty-two years, spent for the most part among the hos tile natives of the Lands End of tho Western continent, John Farquharson Macrae clung to his pipes as he clung to his Scottish accent. When he had no hu- man companion to converse with, his pibroch resounded over the waters of the Magella Strait.
 As youth he left his native heath for Argentine and reared cattle. After few years he found himself in possession or over 500 horses and a couple of thou sand sheep.
 These animals he trekked over 2O00 miles, with the aid of a compass and chart, to Southern Patagonia He wa tered and fed his hocks and herds by the way with only five men to assist him. but at the end of year of hunger and thirst and fatigue he found himself in possess sion of a fine stretch of country over sO.- 0Nt acres in extent
 After leasing this land for ten years he sought fresh territory and trekked over into Tierra del Fuego
 He was the first Briton to penetrate irto the country, and the natives resent ed the intrusion. The tall Aonas and the stunted Yaghans came in hordes, att tackled his little castle and lay in wait for him with arrows.
 An intrepid rider and an unerring shot, however he would ride away concealed by the horse's body and shooting with deadly effect. For several years he car ried his life in his hands. but at last the savages began to regard him with such respect and fear that they christened the devil."
 For some years past the Scottish pio- neer has been unGisputed N0norch of Tierra deh Fuego, where he has amassed fortune. It is with the bagpipes that he rules

Why Ware Was Hated.

Just at this time there is much discus sion of the antagonism shown to the officials like the former Commission of Pensions. Mr. Ware was hated by the class of department clerks who look upon a government clerkship as a snap for life and when he insisted upon a compliance with the requirements of the office duties, he was abused and criticised as slave demon. who had no feeling for his fellow man. Unfortunately for the government there are too many government clerks of this type and too few heads of depart ments like Mr Ware. It is naturally time that there are many who are honest. earnest and industrious. and many of them are constantly at work to improve their minds, to keep from settling down into a hopeless routine" as has been as- serted by one of the Washington papers; but it is also fact that many of the departments are filled with incompetents, who were placed there by political in- huence and kept there by the same means. who have failed in every other place they have attempted to fill. The departments are impeded by the pres ence of the latter class and if there was any way in which they could be gotten rid of, government business would be handled much more rapidly.
 The tendency of the work is undoubt- edly to make machines out of the men and women who hold such positions. but it is better that they be such a ma chine than a worthless and useless bit of hnmanity elsewhere. f the clerk has orig inality and energy there is no necessity of his becoming a machine. There are many men in Washington who are pros pering in the law and medical professions who obtained their professional educa- ton while holding down one of their co called machine jobs. Their office hours the same at this time they have been for years. were such as to enable them to attend classes and clinics and few, if any of them found themselves physical wrecks on account of the extra hours they spent in study.
 The chief who has had experience In offices other than government offices finds it difficult to reconcile himself to the liberal hours and allowance for holi- days and sick leave CD that prevail in the departments at Washington. He sees work accommodating but he sees it disposed of in half treated mechanical sort of way that puts the nerves of an energetic man on edge and naturally he has com ments to make and the result Is a ho
 from the veterans who have been follow ing the same routine since they came to Washington in their youth. The claim is made for the clerks that the hours are sufficiently long to get the best out of every clerk, but 1t takes but a casual ob- server to see that few government clerks endanger their health in the office and sixty days out of three hundred and sixty-five is sufficient for recuperation purposes to say nothing of legal holidays and Sundays. Government clerks will not find it a wise thing to bring about any investigation or discussion of their treat ment. The public might not view 1t from the same standpoint.

MEN OBJECT TO THE NEW MEDAL OF HONOR Claim is Made That it is Too
 Conspicuous DEPARTMENT CLERKS LAZY Their Dislike for Work is the Reason for Pension Commissioner Ware's
 UnpopuIarity-soclal Talk
 of Washington.
DEPARTMENT CLERKS LAZY
BY w. T. MANNING.

Washington, January 9.-(Special.) l.)-Be- cause the new medal of honor Is gold plated some of the men entitled to wear it are complaining that 1t Is possible that a protest will be made when some of the officers and men of the army entitled to wear it are called upon to exchange the medal now in their possession for the new one recently adopted. The com plaint is not due to the change in de- sign for that was welcomed as number of organizations have so closely initiated the old medal that many persons who are wearing insignia of patriotic and po- litical organizations were often treated as medal of honor men, The real medal Of honor was rarely exposed to public view by it's possessor and it's simplicity would not attract attention even If it was but the new meoal has been made conspicuous by the application of gold plate This addition is not usually con- sidered necessary and the very simplicity Of the medal enhanced it's value in some eyes.
 The German Iron Cross has no such p.ating and the ' ictoria Cross is of brass, and gaudiness iS usually avoided In such decorations There is one good feature about the new medal and that is it's wear CTS are protected in that the medal is patented and infringements need not be dreaded in the future. At present there are only about 25OO of the old medals out standing and the present policy of the var department is to limit the issue so much as possible, though, of course' the real granting of the medal rests with con- gross and the day has long since gone by when the medal is gained through politi- cal influence, though there was some years ago a disposition to be somewhat ii eral in their distribution.

SOUTHERN SHAD IN MARKET,
But Cold Weather Has Retarded Ship
ments, Dealers Say.

Southern shad, in tempting display, is
one of the midwinter features Of the Wash
ington markets. The array of Carolina
shad on the fish stalls today was fine and
the prices quoted were, for buck shad, 70
cents apiece, while roe shad ran in price
from 81 to $1.50 each.
This is the beginning of the shad sea
son." said fish dealer, 'but several weeks
will elapse before we begin to receive Poto-
mac shad, which are now famous all over
this country"
The cold weather and general freeze-up
have had their effect on shipments of fish,
as well as fowl, vegetables and other COM
modities, and the general result is scare
ity of those edibles, and consequent high
prices. This is particularly true of fruits
and vegetables, which are rated as scarce
and high"
1.-THE shipments of poultry are few" said
a dealer, land all fawls are bringing fancy
prices
He quoted turkeys at from % to Is cents
a pound: chickens, from 20 to 25; ducks, %;
geese Is: capons. %, and old fowl, Is.
Some of the fish quotations were given as
follows: Light bass, 20 cents a pound; rock,
30; red snappers. 10; salmon trout. Is:
smelts Is to IS: channel bass. Is: Sleeps
head. Is: fresh mackerel. 20: herring, %
cents bunch. and few perch at from Is
to Is cents a pound
