LOUIS SCHOLES.

he will meet all corners at the national
regatta and that he is extra anxious
TO meet Greer.
The admirers of Fred Shepheard. the
Brooklyn oarsman, are trying to induce
him to abandon all ordinary racing
next season that he may meet Greer
and Scholes on equal terms in the
championship sculling race. Greer does
no dribble in minor events. He tries
for the big race, and that is all.
Shepheard is a dangerous rival of
Greer and Scholes. There are many
who think that the eX-sailor will defeat
both men if Greer remains in the anna
teur ranks. The Potomac Boat club
of Washington is to have Il sculler in
Britt at the National. The Potomac
club is experiencing an internal dis
organization, and fifty members have
dropped out and formed a canoe club.
The Potomac intends to send its senior
eight cared crew around this year and
also will get out two Junior Fights.
New rules for the government of rae
ing on the tracks OF the American Turf
association were adopted recently AT
a meeting in Louisville. The most i'm
portant change was in regard to the
apprentice allowance in selling races.
According to the new law. jockeys
with apprentice allowances will re-
ceive their allowance only when they
are riding for their contract employ
ers. This rule also reads that jockeys
with apprentice allowances will be al
lowed three pounds in handicaps. which
is a distinct departure from the old
law.
Another important change was that
which prohibits races at unusual dis
tances. Hereafter there will he no races
at a mile and forty yards, as hereto
fore, and there will be no race at more
than a mile which is less than n mile
and a sixteenth, The scale of weights
was afso raised from eighty-tive to
righty-seven pounds for three-year
olds and upward.

membered that sugar is the coal of

ASSUMING A VIRTUE
What Can Be Done BY Right Think
ina and Self Control

Zopyrus, the physiognomist, said:
Socrates features showed that he
was stupid, brutal, sensual and adj
dicted to drunkenness" Socrates up
held the analysis by saying: "By
nature I am addicted to all these
sins, and they were only restrained
and vanqushed by the continual prac-
tice of virtue"
Emerson says in effect: "The vir-
tue you would like to have, assume
it as already yours, appropriate il,
enter into the part and live the char
acter just as the great actor is alb
sorbed in the character of the part
he plays" No matter how great your
weakness or how much you may re-
gret it. assume steadily and persist
emily it's opposite until you acquire
the habit of holding that thought or of
living the thing not in its weakness,
but in its Wilderness, in its entirety.
Hold the ideal of an efficient faculty
or quality, not of marred or deficient
one. The way to reach or to attain
to any thing is to bend oneself toward
it with all ones might, and we approx
innate it just in proportion to the in
tensity and the persistency Of our eff
fort to attain it.
If you are inclined to be very ex-
citable and nervous, if you "fiy all to
pieces" over the least annoyance, do
not waste your time regretting this
weakness and telling everybody that
you cannot help it. Just assume the
calm. deliberate, quiet balanced CON-
posure which characterizes your ideal
person in that respect. Persuade your
self that you are rot nervous or ex-
citable. that you can control yourself,
that you are well balanced, that you
do not fly off on tangent at every
little annoyance. You will be amazed
to see how the perpetual holding OF
this serene, calm, quiet attitude will
help you to become like your thought.
Success.

A WORD TO CANDY EATERS
The Reason Why Most People Eat
Too Much Of the Sweets

The articles of food which go to
make up the ordinary diet of man.
kind are of two classes-those which
go to form the framework of the body,
the bone and the muscle, and those
which supply the fuel by which the
machine is run. These are, roughly
speaking, the meats and the sweets.
There is still another class, allied to
the sweets, namely, the fats; but
these need not be considered here
They constitute very useful ingred-
lent in the diet, and are seldom taken
in excess, except perhaps by persons
who are themselves too fat; but by
the majority of mankind they are
taken in too small rather than in too
great amount. 1t is in regard to the
eating of candy that a word of eau
ton is necessary.
If we lived only on meat, eggs and
the nonstarchy vegetables, such as
peas, beans, spinach and cabbage, the
addition of candy and sweets would
be most commendable. The body
must have sugar in some form in order
to do its work; but it should be re-

DANGEROUS WALLS
To COME DOWN
Works Board to Be Aided by
Truck Companies in the
Razing of City's Ruins

AS the result of the killing OF little
Eddy Cuneo by falling bricks from the
ruins of the Palace Hotel on Friday,
the Board of Public Works decided
yesterday to pull down all dangerous
walls in the burned district at once.
The board Will make arrangements
with the Fire Commissioners to have
two truck companies with their COM
plement of firemen begin active opera
lions tomorrow morning in the re-
moval of such walls, so that similar
accidents will be prevented in future.
President Duffey announced that
wherever property owners have failed
or neglected to tear down swaying
work and the expense thereof will be
charged to the property owners. In
order to insure the payment of the bill
the board will refuse to issue permits
for any buildings on lots from which
walls have been removed by the city
authorities. Secretary Levy an
nounced that the Grand Jury had ex-
pressed it's determination to stand by
the Board of Works in the work of
tearing down walls and to indict for
manslaughter any property owner
whose falling walls may kill some
body.
The board also directed Policeman
the Palace Hotel walls until Contractor
Mcclellan had built a roof over the
sidewalk in order to protect pedes-
TRANS from falling bricks. The board
will not permit Mcclellan to resume
operations until the roof has been put
up.
After the meeting Duffey holly re-
scented the charge made by Mcclellan
that Cuneo's death resulted through
his being compelled to build a fence
back from the sidewalk line. instead

to-
IT personally told Mcclellan that he
would have to build a roof over the
sidewalk of the Palace Hotel to pre-
vent falling material from striking
passers by, said Duffey. Il pointed
to the roof around the Croker build
ing to give him an idea of what
wanted. Mcclellan refused to obey my
orders, and 1 believe that he is Grim
inally responsible for Cuneos death on
that account.

than his opponent was the aggressor
and was like an eel in Gotch's hands.
Gotch seemed TO be in distress several
times. Then BeeI tossed Gotch oyer

that rendered him unconscious. Gotch
was carried out OF the ring and re-
