RACE TRACK PERILS.
YOUTH OF COUNTRY CORRUPTED
AND LED TO CRIME.
Homes Are Wrecked, Regulations
Are Ruined and Jails Filled
by Gambling on the
Horses.

Under the caption, "The Delusion OF
the Race Track" David Graham Phillips,
in the Cosmopolitan, lays bare the pre-
vailing conditions as he finds them, and
shows how the youth of the country Is
in constant peril. He tells of the crowds
at the tracks, of the young and young
ish men neglecting their work, wasting
their small earnings, preparing them
selves for that desperate state Of mind
In which accounts are falsified, tills
tapped, pockets picked and the black
Jack of the highwayman welded"
but this is not all, not half, not a
small fraction, of the scandal and the
shame" continues the writer THE re-
suits of each race are telegraphed to
poolrooms in every city. There are sew
eral hundred of these poolrooms in New
York. almost as many in Chicago, scores
in such cities as Boston, New Orleans,
Cincinnati and San Francisco. And VINO
are the patrons Of these places? For
the most part the young men on small
salaries throughout the country. And
each and every one of them is headed
straight for disgrace and ruin; and not
a few thousands will arrive there. The
poolroom-that is, the race track; that
is, the jockey clubs; that is, the few re-
putable gentlemen who maintain in a
vile hypocrisy Of responsibility the
royal SPORTS responsible for the most
of the downfalls among the class OF
young men on which our future depends
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany a short time ago bowed to public
indignation which happened to pene-
trate to some of its directors Of pious
repute. But as soon as the storm passed
the company resumed its service to these
poolrooms. these trapdoors into hell.
The proft-about $50O0,000 year-was
too great a temptation for the company's
pious directors. Religion and morality
that call for such enormous material
sacrifices are far TOO dear.
when 1eading-light' citizens have
palms that thus itch for dirty dollars,
when other 1eading-light' citizens amuse
their leisure by setting snares for the
souls of the young, it is not amazing
how morality and steadiness and respect
for law persist?
ITO sum up:
There is not horse that is the better
for any purpose but short-speed spurts
because of race tracks; there is not
penitentiary anywhere that is not the
fuller by from 80 to 70 per cent. because
of race tracks and poolrooms. There is
not a man anywhere who owes or attri-
butes any part of that in him which Is
honorable or reputable to racing.
Racing does not improve the breed
of the thoroughbred
Its whole root is gambling; its whole
flower and fruit, crime.
From the gentlemen perjurers and
violators of their oaths of office and Of
the laws who promote and protect 1t,
down to the bookmakers and poolroom-
keepers and touts and tipsters and
thieves who live by it, there is only diff
ference in shading Of crime. And its
baneful influence, its poison, permeates
everywhere into Office and into home.
What bloody butcheries Of characters
and careers to make the race tracks
smiling holidays!"

The Generosity
of Clementina 3
BY AMY b. JACOBS

7 FEEL pitiful skunk" said Marina
! duke, pushing back his chair ana
throwing a surprising pair OF feet up
on his desk. Just like the poor
browbeaten creature in the NOVELTIES
persuaded by a stern and unnatural pa
rent to marry an heiress whilst his t1ap-
by heart is in the proud possession OF
a penniless beauty. BY Jove, though
that's where | score! There isn't an
other girl in the case. It's Clementlna
or nobody, so why on earth shouldn't II
be Clementina?"
This argument fell like balm on Mar
maduke's conscience. Clementina was
a nice girl, and rich girl. What did 1t
matter If her father was an ignoramus
and made his thousands by margarine?
Clementina was fond OF him. Clemen-
tina didn't want a wealthy husband.
She loved to see him In his wig and
cloak, and she didn't care a fig for her
special amusement. He wasn't desper-
ately in love with Clemsntina, but what
did that matter?
What is love, sir ?" asked Marmaduke
of his faithful client-his hat and coat
dropped up against the opposite chair.
''Will you kindly tell me that You don't
knowI Well, in the words Of lawyer,
! will tell you. 1t Is an arrant piece OF
folly, sir, q madness which seizes you
in q moment, and makes you do all sorts
Of idiotic things, which you are sorry
for afterward. While 1t lasts. you think
you are the happiest fellow on the face
of the earth, and when its gone, what
have you got? A slice Of experience,
that's all. You've lost your case and got
to pay the costs. Now, If only hot
headed youth would consult a lawyer be-
fore starting on a matrimonial career,
by Jove! what harvest we should
make"
At that moment light rap came at
the Office door, and Marmaduke, with a
vision of a wealthy client in sable coat.
and with a waiting brougham below,
drew down his legs hastily, and as
sumed his best court expression, just as
the door opened and Miss Clementina
Potts entered.
"Tina!" said the young lawyer, with
a shade of disappointment.
You're surprised to see me" said
Miss Potts. you don't often entertain
ladies here"
mo, unfortunately. my clients have
been mostly of the masculine persua-
sion," said Marmaduke, with a hasty
glance at his hat and coat But take
a seat, Tina. I'm awfuly glad to see
you, and you do look ripping!"
Miss Potts smiled. She certainly did
look remarkably pretty. Her cheeks were
paler than usual, her reddish hair
cleaned gold In the sunlight, and the
gay air which sometimes Jared on the
young lawyers ears seemed strangely
reduced. CIementina smoothed her err
mine mum and looked up determinedly.
81 reckon" she said, I'D best go
straight into the matter. There's no
sense in beating around the bush when
you can skip through 1t, as pop says. |
came to say that our engagement is of,
and I'm off, too, We sail for New York
straight away"

The King of Mollusks.

The king of mollusks lives In the
Indian and South Pacific oceans. He
attains to a weight of 500 pounds, and
the shell is of the bivalve kind, and
the shape is about the same as that
of our common fresh water mussel.

mollusk known to have lived on the

Expenses Of Great Navies.

A report made recently by the Brit
ish board of trade on the naval eX-
penditures of the leading powers for
the latest available year presents in
teresting figures. The report deals with
the year ending March 81, 1903. From
the exhibit it appears that the United
Kingdom spends more on its navy than
Russia. Germany and France spend on
their combined fleets. The British ma
val expenditure is more than double
that of the United States, Russia's ma
val expenditure for the year named was
five times as large as that of Japan.
Russia spent less than six per cent. OF
her revenues on her navy. Japan spent
nine per cent of her revenues in this
way. The country which now spends
most on its navy next to Great Brit
ain is the United States. The British
mercantile marine exceeds in tonnage
that of Russia, Germany, France, Italy,
the United States and Japan put to-
gether. The mercantile marine tonnage
of Great Britain reaches 10, ,604 tons.

japan Was Loaded for Bear.

1t was virtually admitted by the
Russians months ago that they would
not have treated Japan as they did
in the negotiations preceding hostili-
ties had they supposed she would fight.
The lack of preparation proves that
the Russian officials were blufing.
With an unbroken series of defeats in
the far east, and strikes at home de-
veloping into a revolution, the regret
of the Russian grand dukes that they
did not know Japan to be loaded when
they played with her can be imagined.

Celery Lands in Florida.

A few years back the low, wet lands OF
the state, that now produce thousands
of dollars annually for the planters OF
celery, were deemed utterly worthless
and could have been bought for a song
no sane man would have paid five dol
lars an acre for it, while at the present
time the improved land, peculiarly
adapted to celery culture, will bring
from $500 to $1,000 an acre, the unim-
proved $25 to $125 an acre.-Florida

AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE IN INDIA.
Wide Territory Devastated by Recent
Earthuuake-Buried Alive.

A cabIegram from Lahore says: The Kan
gra valley, lying north of Lahore. having
an area of over 500 square miles and
have been devastated by the earthquake.
The town of Kangra itself, which has
population of over 10000, Is reported to
have been reduced to ruins. The loss or
life must have been enormous, but no au-
thentic details are obtainable, as the tele-
graph stations have been wrecked
Terrible news is at hand from Dharmsala.
Gurkha Regiment, and twenty men of the
Cd and fifty of the LIST Battalion of the LIST
Gurkhas were buried alive.
The mortality among the Gurkha troops
is ascribed to their occupying a new stone
barracks which, despite its massveness.
was thrown up from the ground two feet
by the movement of the EARTH causing its
children and camp followers in the building.
and they were among the victims.
The survivors seemed to be paraiyzed by
the suddennesS and awfulneSS OF the cataS-
trophe. and for some time they made no
attempt to rescue those buried under the
debris.
The shock was so sudden that the occu-
nants had no time to leave their houses.
Some persisted on the thresholds as they
were attempting to run from their homes.
The movement of the earth was accom-
panied by a roaring sound that resembled
thunder among mountains. Unofhclal re-
ports state that the number of deaths In the
area affected by the earthquake exceeds
1000.
Palampoor, which had over 20,0oo inhab-
itants, was completely leveled to the
ground Not a single building was left
standing Not single house escaped dam

the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.

From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
The institution of a Sunday issue by The
Evening Star of Washington, d. c., which
for the past fifty years has been one of
the most conspicuous evening newspapers
of the United States, is an interesting event
in the world of Journalism. The Sunday
field has heretofore been regarded as a
legitimate possession of the morning news
paper, the production of which is mainly
the work of the night before. but the world
is demanding more and more of the news
paper profession as the activities of life
extend and multiply, and Sunday issue by
an evening paper is therefore not star
Ting innovation. The Washington Star is
a conspicuously high-class evening news
paper. and it's latest exhibition of enterprise
can In no way be associated with any other
purpose than that which has governed its
management In the making of the papers
enyiabie history. This Is revealed In the
promise of a saiutatory of the Sunday issue.
