TRY THE ENGLISH PLAN,
Eastern Turf Promoters LOOKING for
Improved Methods of GAMBLING.

NEW YORK, June ia prominent
member of the Jockey club will visit
England shortly to make an investi-
cation of the methods of booking, or
rather betting, on the English race
tracks.
The visit of inspection is in line
with the policy of the Jockey clubs
legal advisers, whose hobby is to con-
duct betting operations on the New
York tracks in accordance with En-
glish lines. If betting is conducted
wholly on the credit system, with no
money passing between player and
player, and the settlement of the wa
gers lost and won is made away from
the track at a club or clearing house.
the turf and state will be so safe
guarded as to be proof against all
further legislative attacks.
The Jockey club is paying too much
heed to theorists If the English bet
ting ring or English system of race
tracq speculation should be adopted
here. men who are in a position to
speak from experience declare racing
would be killed effectually.

LIMITS TO RIGHTEOUSNESS
Naval Paymaster's Case Attracts
Considerable Attention

MUST ACCEPT QUARTERS ASSIGNED

WASHINGTON, D. c., June ia
naval paymaster recently refused to
signed to him at Norfolk navy yard,
claiming they were unsuited to his
purpose and unpleasant as to location.
He also held that, being unprovided
with quarters, he was entitled to draw
the allowance known as Communication
much attention, and it was easily fore
seen that if the officer carried the
point with the treasury department
where the Communication could be al
lowed or rejected by the accounting
officers, there would be a great privi-
lege accorded to all officers hereafter,
who might prefer to draw their COM
mutation of quarters instead of occu-
plying the government building assign
ed to them for residential purposes.
The treasury department officials,
however, have taken the position that
in this case the naval paymaster had
no right to pass upon the location of
the quarters. He should take them,
or if he refused to occupy them he
had no right to communication. The
government has done it's full duty in
the premises, and the officer must
abide by the assignment, whether or
not he liked the quarters or their
situation. This decision has led to a
ruling on the part of the war depart
ment significantly conveying this in
formation to army officers for their
information and guidance.
Should Plat and Depew resign"
asks the Philadelphia Bulletin anx-
iously. They should. And how about

Illinois Girl

YOUNG LADYS ARM WAS BROKEN

BELLENILLE. H., June 13.-One
nasty little button clear out of the
decences of latitude and longitude, in
an inaccessible spot on the rear eleva-
ton of a shirt waist-a provoking
pearl button that refused to bulge the
sixteenth of an inch north or south,
where pink fingers were grasping
frantically after it-this tantalizing,
saucy-eyed bit of womanly equipment
brought more grief to Miss Annie
Weisenborn than all the peep holes in
all the peekaboo waists have brought
to all the other girls in the state Of
Illinois.
Miss Weisenborn is carrying her left
arm in a sling. The bones in it are
broken. The shirt waist is in a bu-
reau drawer. The button is still I'M

All Ready But One Button.
The victim of the button was alone
in her boudoir when the measly thing
began to act up. She was due to leave
for a party at o'clock. Her pretty
brown hair was in order at 80 sharp.
The flummery of dainty skirts and the
ribbons and things fluttered coquet-
tishly in the breeze that came through
the open window. They invited the
silk waist to complete the witching
picture. Miss Weisenborn was happy
as she glanced in the mirror Then
she tackled the browning piece of her
toilet, showing both arms into sleeves
and shaking white shoulders until the
garment fell into tentative place She
hummed bits of love song as she but

working from low base of operations

to the party. Instead a doctor was
called and mamma put the waist in the

Today, when members of the grad

correspondent called at the Weisenborn
home to see how the pretty patient
was progressing, she took out the
waist-the cause of all the trouble

IRRIGATION.

OF the various papers read at the
adjourned meeting of the British AS
sociation at johannesburg, none is OF
more practical interest than Sir q.
Scott Moncrieff's on Irrigation Only
the man who has seen what las been
done in Italy, in India, dn Egypt and
in California a appreciate the Verl-
table of agriculture which
the engineer has brought about. In
India the irrigation canal has turned
millions of acres to fertility and saw
ed tens of thousands of lives which
must have succumbed to famine. In
the Western States Of America vast
deserts have been converted into Or
chards, and the Land which would otA
erwise be dear at five dollars an acre
has become worth fifty. Much of the
British triumph in Egypt is summed
I'D in the word irrigation. English
engineers-Sir G. Scott Moncrieff
among them-came from India after
the British occupation and have ever:
since been engaged in some Of the
greatest irrigation works in the world

Over a Million Died of Plague Last
Year.

tCGEa
IN 1908 the number OF deaths from
plague in India was 1853 600; in 1904
1t was over 1000. 600, being 100000.
OF the 1000. 900 deaths more than
t50.V occurred in one province.
and that province was the Pun

Of the BEST Indian soldiers are
recruited. Consider the possible
significance of a fact like this
upon the efficiency of the Indian
army. The Punjab is not a large pro-
vince, its actual population being
about20, 900, 900, or only two-thirds
that Of England and yet the deaths
In the Punjab during 1904 from
plague amounted to over 100000 IN
the course Of twelve weeks only.
We believe that these figures, which
have been published before, have new
er been contradicted, though they
seem increditable. What would be

Office, we think that the policy Of
concealment-or the absence of pol
icy that has necessitated conceal
ment-has gone on long enough.

part which is always termed thi
brightest jewel in the possession o !

fare we are nationally responsible,
and for whose possession and main

We have commented in the Lancet
upon the inquiry undertaken Jointly

that we do not think the measures to

Three and a half millions Of people
have died from plague in India since

two psychologists to look into n
