''The fact that he has Withdrawn IS I believe
entirely satisfactory TO the majority Of the

generally believed him TO be connected with
corporate interests and not in touch with the
demand of the public, which IS for an inde-

they are capable and sufficiently courageous

EAGLES BATTLE WITH LYNX
FOR POSSESSION OF PREY
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
M'KEEVER, N. Y, May 4.-John
Horn and a companion were shooting
grouse a few days ago, and as they
shot them hung them on low spruce
trees to be picked up on the return trip
to camp. Several had been killed, and
the men were working backward on
the trail when they saw a bald eagle
swoop downward 200 yards in front OF
them, and a moment after rise with a
grouse in it's talons. Then the eagle
lost it's grip and down came the grouse.
The eagle SCARED about for a few
moments and then, folding it's wings,
shot toward the ground, uttering sharp
cries as it descended. The men hurried
forward to see what was the matter.
= On arriving at the ledge they saw a
most unusual woodland battle. A
couple of Canada lynx had recovered
their prey and were fighting desperately
to retain it and fur and feathers flew in
a cloud.
The old bald head was getting the
worst of the fight when his mate re-
inforced him. A third lynx, which had
been attracted by the hubbub, also pnt
in an appearance, but after one look
he skunk away. AS the battle pro-
gressed a third eagle dropped from the
sky, and with his arrival the fate of
the lynx was sealed. They fought on,
however, until one lost an eye, when
they ran for cover.
They didn't get far, for the eagles
were too much aroused to let them es-
cape, and they never ceased until both
forest cats were dead.

which goes into general circulation. 1t
is true that few of the hotels do
better business during the race meet
ings than they would II there were no
meetings, and some of the saloons and
feed dealers do better.
But against this business must be
placed the large sums Of money lost by
merchants who otherwise would De
paid the bills which they hold against
the patrons of the races and the gem
eral decentralization of business condi-
tions incidental to the presence in this
city of a large number of boisterous
and insolent spenders who make their
living off of those who speculate on
the races.
Gambling in this city has been
brought to such a pass that barring
few poker games there is substantially
little except the bucket shops and
handbooks, but the races cost Wash-
ington more money each year than
would be lost in half dozen full
fedged gambling houses. OF course 1t
is against the law to bet on horse rae
ing in the District of Columbia, and
consequently the police will not let the
bookmakers sit down and take bets.
They are permitted, however, ito walk
around and take all the bets they pieaSe
as long as they keep moving. The re-
suit is the same-the suckers lose their
money.
A few days after the spring meeting
which took place early in March
young fellow who had lost his last $100
at Benning went to New York and shot
himself by making a hole in his head
in the place where his brains ought to
have been. 1t is not often that banks
or other financial Institutions in this
city suffer through the operations of
clerks devoted to gambling on the
races, but the number of department
clerks and others who are kept poor
throughout the year by their losses
twice a year at Benning is legion.

Former Senator Dubois of Idaho will
go on the Chautauqua circuit this sum-
mer to discuss the evils of Mormonism.
Senator Dubois holds the Mormons re-
sponsible for his defeat largely because
he was one of the most active op-
ponents of the seating of Senator
Smoot of Utah. Senator Dubois ex-
poets to present many interesting and
important facts to his audiences.
Between now and next autumn there
is likely to be a decided movement on
against the continuance of racing on
the Benning track. For number of
years an organization called the Wash
iAgton Jockey club has been holding
meetings in the spring and fall on a
track which lies partly in the District
of Columbia and partly in Maryland.
So successful have these meetings been
that gradually the purses have been
increased, and thus a better class of
horses have been attracted hither
Meanwhile the price of admission has
been advanced until now 1t is $3.50 ex-
ira for entrance to the paddock. The
lli5H pllCS VI duIIlSSlOll is largely due
to the number of free passes and
badges distributed among officials and
others in position to be of service to
the track. The basis of the opposition
to the racing is that the meetings are
held so early in the spring and SO late
in the fall that Washington gets very
few horses whose performances are
worth watching except for gamblins
proposes, and that while they carry
large sums of money out of the CITY
they bring practically nothing here

flanked on each side by his receiving
party.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the Y. NJ G. A.

American flags and bunting in the FL

An immense bowl of daisies marked
the entrance and in the receiving room
the governor stood against a bank of
palms and ferns, and pepper boughs
were festooned in a border around the
rooms. Large vases of red roses gave
an artistic touch of color to the back
ground and the many colored gowns of
women in the long line made a pretty
scene.

he will not arrive until this morning.

STAR VAN AND STORAGE CO.
THIRTEENTH AND NJ STREETS.

In giving a review of the business
firms friendly to union labor we take
great pleasure in devoting some space
to the Star Van & Storage Co. Few
branches of commercial enterprise are
more important or representative than
that OF the transfer company. The
transfer service in any city has much
to do with trade and commerce. If
inferior the wheels of industry are
clogged and traffic, in business sense,
seriously impeded. Travellers especial
ly find serious inconvenience when
transfer service is inadequate All
these annoyances speedily disappear
with the advent of the Star Van &
Storage Co. Delays so common be-
fore are things this company re-
moved. Today a telephone call to
