railway system, will be constructed

The work is particularly heavy, be-
ing a route through the Blue Ridge

be especially benefciol for the coal
felds-of the Virginias, as it will en-
able the operators to ship coal into the
Carolinas over short haul.

this account it is thought that it may
be the plan of the big system to check
mate the South & Western railway,
which is railroad project proposed for
the building of line from Marion, N.
c., in the direction of the coal fields of
Virginia, if not into the coal fields.

 From every walk of metropolitan life the great crowd made it's way to the Belmont course. Trains began running to the track as early as Il o'clock and at ten minute intervals thereafter until nearly o'clock, the opening race, race, scheduled for 2:30 D. n., being postponed half an hour to await the handling of the late corners. The trans portation facilities were given an extra ordinary test.
 By train, by tally-11o, coaches and automobiles, the racegoers hurried to the track. The automobile was de- cidedly popular conveyance, the display of horseIess machines, covering several acres of ground near the paddock, Caus- ing one to doubt seriously if the day had been set apart for Q celebration of the supremacy of the thoroughbred.
 The novelty of seeing races run the wrong" way of the track or finishing from the right was by no means an un- interesting feature of the days sport. Some anticipated accidents because of the unusual condition. but aside from tte natural tendency of the i7orSes to bear" out at the turns and finish close to the outside rail, there seemed to be no arpreciable difference in their rum ming. % j. ..~"

 With the thermometer somewhat in- clined to drop around the freezing point and before about one hundred chilled spectators, New Haven and Hartford yesterday afternoon at Savin Rock played snappy ten-inning game. which the locals finally lost when Phil Corcoran weakened in the tenth. With the score four to four he allowed two two-baggers and a single, which netted the Capital City men two runs and gave them the game, as the Blues could do nothing ill their half, going out in one, two, three order. The game was exciting from the very beginning, and bristled with sensational catches and stops.

NO TROOPS FOR CHICAGO.
(continued from First Page.l


 Notwithstanding the constant fight ing in the streets and the numerous at tacks made on non-union men, the large dry goods houses and wholesale grocers tonight reported that the were steadily increasing shipments. At the wholesale stores of Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co.,, and of Marshall Field & Co.,, it was declared that they had oper- ated most of their wagons successfully, although police guards were requested in every instance The express com panies were interfered with but little and considerable progress was made to- ward relieving the congestion at the various railroad depots.
 The South Water Street Commission Merchants association, with member ship of over 400, to-day decided to cast it's lot with the Employers association and to receive goods from any firm, re- gardless of whether such deliveries were made by union or non-union team sters.
 There was less disturbance to-day in the wholesale quarter, but the fighting went on with its usual persistence and viciousness near the fashionable shop ping district. A number of non-union men were clubbed and beaten, and their wagon guards and the policemen retail lated with vigor on the rioters. In every instance the crowds were dis persed after a brief, sharp scrimmage.
 The number of injured was about the same as that of the last two days. About thirty or forty men have been cared for at various hospitals, and there are fully as many more who have re- ceived medical attendance and whose names are not known to the police.

became a subject Of surgical attention

with Policeman Morley, Of German

mans bullet entered Robinson's left
breast directly in a line with the heart.
He was hurried 10 the hospital, whore,
after an examination, IL was concluded
his heart had been struck, and IL was
believed he could not live more than a
few hours. When he continued 20 live
for twenty-four hours some Of the
eminent physicians Of the city were
called into consultation 10 find II IL
was possible TO open up the chest and
remove the heart for examination. One
distinguished master Of surgery vol
unteered 20 perform the operation, To
carry II out portions Of two ribs had
to be removed, and, holding il in his
hands, made a minute and thorough
examination. As soon as il was taken
from the body, il was observed that
the heart seem 10 beat more vigorous
ly and with greater regularity. Atten-
tion was then given TO the neshy en-
vironment in the heart region Of the
chest, which was found to be consider
ably inhamed. For nearly an hour the
search for the seat Of the trouble was
continued before the bullet was loeat-
cd. The leaden missile was found TO
be imbedded in the flesh within a small
fraction Of an inch Of the heart, upon
which IL had caused pressure. There
is every probability that the patient
will recover.

TYPES
OF FACES

Associated with the various occupa-
tions in life there is undoubtedly a type
Of face which more or less betrays the
calling Of its owner. Medical men. es-
peeially in hospital practice, find ac-
quaintance with these types valuable.
Tn y may not be able, with the shrewd-
ness of Sherlock Holmes or Of his still
acuter brother to read a mans past,
present and future by glance at him
in the street, but they are able to gauge
with considerable accuracy how far
the history Of the case, as given by the
patient, is a truthful one, and how far
1t fits with his probable occupation in
life. Calling must certainly have some
influence over the physiognomy Of tho
cabman, the omnibus driver, the butler
or the groom. Each frequently pos
sesses a type of face which wears so
characteristic an expression as to make
1t not difficult to identify the vocation
! accompanying it. We speak also Of
the legal face, the scientific face, the
and artistic face, the dramatic face,
and artistice face, the dramatic face,
and the military face. This is merely
broad classification, but we dis
believe in the claims of the keen OBJ
server to an ability to differentiate to
finer degrees. We have heard hospi-
tai physicians who claimed to be able
to say from glance at the face that
this or that man was butcher, a ba-
ker, grocer, bank clerk, a lawyer s.
clerk, a commercial traveller, a stock
broke, wine merchant, and so on.
We think that the fame Of these medi-
cal men as rough and ready detectives
has been largely manufactured for
them by enthusiastic clinical clerks, but
that many medical men do possess
great insight into tho occupations Of
those who come before them is tru-
ism. The question is often debated
whether physiognomy is growth of
vocation or whether IL shows that the
vocation chosen is in accordance with
the particular capacity and ability Of
the person to whom it belongs. In 9TH
er words, If the barrister does not show
the illegal face" the aspiring priest
the ecclesiastical face" the medical
student the "physicianly face" the
soldier the "military face" and 30 on,
is that sign that they have mistaken
their callingi Is the man who "does
not look bit like a doctor" likely TO
fail because his physiognomic qualid.
cation is wantingi Or will he, what.
ever his original features, gradually
come to acquire the type Of the profes-
sion to which he belongs5 The answer
TO the question is, Of course, that both
theories are right. A certain kind Of
face, the so.called scientific face, is so
often seen among modern medical stu
dents as to prove that tho owner Of
that cast of eountenance is likely to-
adopt medicine as a career. Converse
ly, whatever the original cast Of fea-
lures medical man may have pos
sessed, tho anxious, delicate and abb
sorbing work Of medical practice will
put a stamp upon them.--London Ian

and left the bank. Mr.. Boone noticed
this and, thinking the man had forgot
ten the $400 followed him TO the street
and saw him walking rapidly away
The bank president tried to overtake
the man, but the latter walked-too fast
and Mr.. Boone returned to the bank,
thinking the man would return when
he noticed his mistake
Later it was learned that Mr. Mes
bitt, to whom the check had been
given for four horses, had lost the
check and had stopped payment on it.
The signature proved a forgery and
the bank is out the money paid to the
stranger.
