Hermis to Race Again

1t is now assured that Hermis, con-
sidered the greatest racer of the Amer
ican turf in 1904, will again face the
barrier when the down east season
opens. Hermis is valued at 100000 but
was out of training last year because
of an injury to his foot which caused
him to pull up lame after beating
Beldame in a fast mile. He has re-
sponded nobly to the hard tests of
training and his owners, Alex Shields
and E. r. Thomas are confident he
will display all his old time form when
he was beating the best of them. Her

Louis worlds fair handicap in 1904,
but was beaten by Colonial Girl in the
final strides.

Los Angeles Driving Club Proposes
Third Attempt at Holding Meet
Scheduled for March II

IF the weather man is kindly dis
posed towards the Los Angeles Driv-
ing club and will permit the clouds to
roll by, the oft-postponed harness mat
inee which the club has been attempt
ing to give at Agricultural park for the
past fortnight, will be given Thursday

The directors have labored in
dustriously in framing up card OF
unusual attractiveness for this meet
and the result is one of the best pro-
grams for a matinee meet ever given
by the organization.
Altogether there are eight events on
the card and all have filled nicely and
with classy performers. One of these
events Is a novelty race for polo ponies.
ridden by gentlemen jockeys. 1t is a
potato race and is expected to furnish
q, great contest of skill and endurance
by ponies and riders and not little
amusement is expected while the con-
test is on.
Seven other events, comprising trot-
ting and pacing races, complete the
card and the directors are confident or
a keen afternoons sport. The races
will be for silver cups instead OF cash
prizes and will eXemplify the fact that
harness racing Is the true sport LOT
the sports sake.
The meet was originally intended for
st. Patrick's day, but was postponed
because of the incessant rains for
many days prior to st. Patrick's day.
Again postponement was necessary
when the rains poured down with in
creasing volume Saturday.
After twice attempting to hold the
meet on Saturday and being rained out,
the directors decided to try a mld-Week
date and selected Thursday afternoon
for the third trial. If weather and
track conditions are favorable the meet
will begin promptly at 1870 o'clock.

AL|EN|ST TALKS
TO PYROMAN|AC
BOY is PUZZLE, DECLARES DR..
BRAINEDR
Lacking Mentality, but ] Would Not
Care to Pronounce Him Insane.
Brain Certainly Had
Motive

The preliminary examination OF
James Brain, charged with arson, will
be continued this morning. After his
confession several weeks ago, Brain
has been closely watched by the police,
and they have been gathering evidence
to show that Brain knew what he was
doing when he set more than half a
dozen fires within period of a week s
time. Counsel for Brain is fighting
against the introduction of the alleged
confession, and is endeavoring to prove
that the youth was insane at the time
he set the fires that nearly resulted in
terrible losses.
Morally Responsible
The police say that Justice Rose will
bind the defendant over to the superior
court for his arson trial and they say
that there is plenty of proof to show
that Brain, although a degenerate, is
morally responsible for his acts. The
defense, on the other hand, depends on
former commitment to an insane
asylum in Elgin, ILL.,, and also rely on
the result of an examination made at
the Jail by two prominent alienists.
If Brain is tried before Judge Smith,
it Is presumed the defense will be in
sanity. At least two physicians assert
that Brain is one of those rare cases
of a genuine pyromaniac, and that his
condition is one of absolute irresponsi-
bility.
Examined Again
Last evening DR.. H. G. Brainerd, one
of the most prominent authorities on
insanity in California, examined Brain.
The boy was brought from his cell
into the lobby of the Jail and DR.
Brainerd seated himself beside him and
engaged the pyromaniac in long con-
versation.
"The boy is somewhat of a puzzle, y
the alienist said at the close of his ex-
animation. HE shutters so badly that
it is hard to understand him readily
II think the boy is certainly lacking
mentally although L would not care to
pronounce him insane.
HE told me that he could not say
why he set those fires, but this state
ment L doubt. He certainly had a
motive. although it might have been a
trivial one"
DR.. Brainerd may be called by the
prosecution today during the eXamina-
ton to give an expert opinion as to
Brain's sanity

Obituaries.
MRS CHARLES L. COOKE.
OF HoLLIN's INSTITUTE.

On Friday, January 5, 1906, Mrs.
Charles L. Cooke, OF Hollins' Institute,
passed away She was in her seth year
and had been married &c years. She
was one of the remarkable women of her
time. For nearly sixty years she was
associated with the education of girls
in one of the leading institutions of the
South. Her influence today lives in the
thousands of young women, who during
these years, were under her care.
She was woman among women, a wo-
manly woman, whose noble type still lives
in many of those who passed from her
care with the ideal of true womanhood
indelibly fixed upon them. Her intel
lectual ability is seen in her children
who survive her and in those who preced-
ed her to the grave.
The shadows came of late frequently
into her life when called upon to give up
three of her children, grown to MANHOOD
and womanhood and usefulness, and her
distinguished husband.
The funeral services were conducted at
the Institute on Saturday. In the morn
ing at II o'clock the body was carried
to the Institute Chapel, and the services
were conducted by the Institute Chap
lains, Rev. DR.. w. G. Campbell and Rev.
DIR. w. II. Milton, of Roanoke, Rev. A. G.
Campbell, of Salem, and Rev. DR.. Geo.
B. Taylor, of Hollins. The services were
simple and brief-a prayer, short ad-
dresses by the chaplains and singing by
a choir of young girls.
In the afternoon the public services
were conducted in the Enon Baptist
Church, of which she was an active mem
Der. After these services, the body was
tenderly borne by her grandsons and near
relatives to the family burying-ground,
and she was laid beside her husband and
with her children, gone before, about her.
1t was a touching sight, when the $50
young girls, with their offering of car
nations, marched by the grave and each,
as she passed, laid upon it this beautiful
tribute to the womanly virtues of tins
noble woman of God as a mark of that
affection which every one had for her.
