NEW ORLEANS. March 17.--Jockey
Lucen Lyme las made no contracts for
riding on the Eactern Jockey Club tracks
this season. During the winter he receiv
ed several applications from prominent
turf1nan, who desired to secure first,
second. and even third call on his SER
vice. It is believed that he prefers to
ride as free lance instead of being
tied to a stable that may turn out TO be
devoid of first class racing material.
Lyme has not rs yet made any definate
decision abopt- the date he will go East.
hut at present The Indications are that
he will turn to Kentucky for the I.exing-
ton and Louisville spring meetings..
Arthur BEDFORD, who came to New
Orleans to reduce for the approaching
season by riding the shields horses when
possible, is already down to ia pounds.
This is three or four pounds lower than
he expected last summer to bs able to
do so early in the spring, and 1t would
indicate that the crack rider will be able
to accept mounts at 10 pounds or even
less, during the coming season.

Because cater to the intelli-

The statement recently tele-
graphed from Pittsburg that
1900 men were killed or main
ed in the Allegheny mills dur
ing the last year seems incred-
ible, though it is said to be
based on statistics. The num-
Der employed in the mills pre-
sumably iron and steel mills
is not stated. No doubt it is
large, but the percentage
of casualties for the year
must must have been as
great as in any of the great
battles of the war between
Russia and Japan, if the alleged
statistics are trustworthy. The
destruction of life and limb is
a greater grievance than any
which has been assigned as the
cause of any great strike.

What is it Coming to.
Appeal to ReaSOu SAWS:

"The net profits of the steel
trust last year were enough to
b1 arizona and Wyoming, or
delaware and Idaho; or Nevada
and Mexico; or North Dakota;
" Utah, at their assessed value
in 1900! The trust must find
every ye,r new investments for
these vast net profits, and if
you add to this the net profits
on oil and other great indus
tries you can readily see that in
few years the trusts will of
necessity have to own practi-
eally all the property of the ma
ton. They must do it or cease
to make profits. The condition
Of your children and my chill
lren within ten years will be
something awful to think about,
much less to suffer, if things
arc permitted to 60 on as they
now are. If you are a father,
| if you have any love for your
children, if you have any reas-
oning powers at all, surely this
ought to cause you to not only
to do some thinking, but some
acting"
The above is an object lesson
that cannot be set aside. 1t is
a statement based on fact, that
lis the worst of it. But what
are we going to do about it,
