HORSEnEN DEPLORE
HARNESS SCANDALS
Cup Case Blow to Great
Racing Game.

NEW YORK. March 9.-Whatever the
final outcome Of the Memphis Cup scan
daI, trotttng horsemen Will always fooL
upon the case as a direct cause Of det-
riment 10 the harness racing game
Those who are vitaIly interested In the
breeding OF trotters, and the racing OF
them. appear 10 care very little which
OF the parties comes out of it the win
ner.
The Memphis Association may prove
that the winner OF the cup perpetrated
some fraud and secured the trophy by
inegitimate methods, or the defendant
may clear himself OF ali and every al
legation. yet the matter will give q
black eye to the harness turf before the
people OF the entire country and dis
irons and lovers Of the American har-
ness horse and the diStinCtiVely Amer
lean sport.
The men who brought out the case.
with its many sensational phases may
serve to satisfy the morbid curiosity OF
some people, but viii never receive
thanks nor the approval OF leading trot-
ting horsemen.
Get No Thanks.
The fact brought out this week that
one of the most prominent events of
the turf in its entire history Will be
connected with some Of the incidents OF
the Patchen Wilkes Farm house parties
is a hard pill for horsemen 10 swallow.
one OF the greatest features OF the
game during the past few years has
been the amateur end of the sport. The
pastime has been taken I'D by gentle
men hOrsemen with great enthusiasm
and enhanced the value OF fast trotters
and PAGERS beyond any calculation. yet
the fact that the greatest scandal IN
the history of the harness turf, with ali
its disgusting details, should result from
a purely gentlemens contest, is bound
to be very far reaching with its injuries.
If the numerous and varied reports
now in circulation in trotting horse
circles can be relied upon, many more
scandals of most sensational nature NAV
still come out of the cup case. After
cOmplainants now have, the general be-
lief is that they viii stop at nothing
tc win their case. without the least
thought or care as to the great harm
the sensational developments will cause
TO breeders and racing men.
Amateurs Bad Losers.
There are numerous instances IN the
history of the trotting turf to prove that
one OF fits worst misfortunes has been
the entrance into its ranks of men who
should never have been identified
with it.
Their claimed motives have been an
inherent love for the trotter, and a

Women In France.

Like the dark ages, almost, seems a
condition like that in France. for ex-
ample, where a married woman has
no legal right to the money which she
herself has earned. In 1896 the Cham
Der of Deputies passed law doing
women some incomplete, obvious and
tardy justice. but the Senate Commit
tee never made its report. 1t was only
ten years ago, to be sure, that the law
reached its present state in the United
States, eight years in Sweden, seven in
Denmark and six in Germany and Bel
GUM, and yet already any other condi-
ton seems incredible. To-day a woman
even in Turkey, Persia, Egypt, Mo-
rocco, Tunis, Algiers and Bulgaria has
juster property rights than she enjoys
in highly civilized France. which holds
6,500,000 women who are earning sal
aries or wages. In this matter, as
throughout Europe gener lily in mat
ters bearing directly on human well
fare, it is the radical group alone
which are pressing forward toward
the goal of justice and happiness for
the greatest number 1t is the radical
group alone that seems to care for the
individual at all.-Collier's Weekly.

Water in Camp.

Families living in the country may
have spring or well water under their
own control; but although the spring
and well are simple things, some care
is necessary in order to get good
quality of water from them. Care
less people when they find a perma-
nent wet spot on the surface ground
follow it into the earth for distance
of four or five feet and dig large
hole and wall it with loose stones;
possibly it is provided with a make
shift cover; but the small openings
between the stones become the
abode of salamanders and frogs.
During dry weather the water
comes from the vein or veins into the
sides or bottom of the spring, and it
should keep the walled enclosure full
up to the outlet, in which case the
water will be absorbed by the ground; !;
but when storm comes the condi.
tions are reversed The earth gets
oversaturated with water, which pass
es between the stones of the wall in
to the spring, carrying all impurities.
When the vein extends downward
into the ground or even into the loose
rock, dig the spring five or six feet
deep, which will give quite body of
water for fire purposes and adsnit of

This was the atonement Something

flowed from my finger-tips. The sun
beat down upon me, and still l scrapei
away, bending to my work and trying
not to finch as the cruel flints pricked
my flesh and made fresh wounds. An
hour passed, and l was grasping hand
fuls of earth and fiinging them about
me in a frenzied eagerness. "He must
be buried before sunset" said voice,

ging deeper and deeper into the earth

three hours | had only scraped

sun dropped lower A chill came over
me. Il can never do it," I sobbed. 20
God, forgive mel"
Murdered! Go on" said the voice.
Then, whimpering in pain, | went
on all fours and tore like one distract
ed at the ground. l felt that mad
ness was overwhelming me. The sun
dropped low toward the horizon, and
l saw that | could never dig the grave
in time to save my soul, flung my
self forward on the ground, and sobbed
convulsively in despair.
20 God, forgive mel" | shrieked. The
sun dropped lower. and vanished in
blood-colored clouds.

ly around me. The train of thought
in my brain stopped and started
abruptly upon new track. | saw
