FINE WORK BY THE JOCKEY

New York, November 9.-(Special.)- Ballot wound up the season today in glory when he captured the Edgemere handicap at Aqueduct from Brookdale' Lymph. With the amount of the purse added to the winnings to MT. Keene, he reachesNthe sum of $397,655.
 The finish cost the books S75, 900. In the minds of many Brookdale Lymph would have won if Dugan had not taken her to the rail after the turn for home when he had a lead of two lengths. In this spot the going ap- peared to be a trifie soggy. Notter took Ballot out quite distance from the rail, where the track was good and coming down the stretch cut down her lead and was on equal terms as they reached the last sixteenth pole. When it came down to the final drive he outgamed the lilly to the wire.
 Royal Tourist won the Oakdale han dicap in easy fashion. Rialto finished second and Dorante got show money.
 Grapple running in the colors of Frank Farrell, helped his owner score a big killing when he came home on the bit in the fifth race. Farrell bet $2O,O00 at 4 to 5.

THE SINGER sKYscRAPER.
Facts About the TalIest Building In
 the World.

From the Worlds Work.
 The new Singer building in lower New York will be the tallest building in the world-forty- stories in height. rs- ing 612 feet above the street When com- pleted this office building will have floor space equivalent to a one-story building covering twenty city blocks. To concentrate such an immense space upon a total area of but 26.00O square feet pre- sents at once the serious question of suf- ficient light and air. Usually a high building is designed to cover as much area of the lot as possible, thereby cut ting off the light of surrounding buildings. For this reason dark offices are multI- plying in the largest American cities. and many buildings that are now well lighted must soon depend wholly or in part upon artificial light, adjacent buildings are extended upward. All the offices of tho Singer building will be well lighted, but the building adjoining 1t will not suffer. The part of the building that will be carried up 47 stories will occupy but one sixth of the lot. The remainder will be only IA stories in height. This high DOT tion will also be- in approximately the center of the new building. Thus every office will be well lighted without a sac- rlnCe or real eStato ValueS InAt WOulu De commercially fmpracticable. The location of the high tower near the center of the lot also makes 1t possible for nearby offices to share the sunlight.
 It Is clamied that the safest parts of this building In time of earthquake will be the highest stories. The lesson of the San Francisco earthquake is that "the steel frame structure is the best earth quake resister." The steel frame building is constructed very much 0fike a bird cage, while an ordinary building of brick Is house of cards in comparison. The only possibility of danger to the tenants in this high building will be the dislodg- ment of masonry. This, of course, would affect only the lower floors.
 The danger of fire has been eliminated, for infiammable material has been entire ly omitted. Even so-called "freproof' wood has been barred. Nothing but metal. stone and baked clay enters into its construction. Even the small plugs of wood usually inserted into the wall to receive nails used in hanging pictures have been excluded. The fires in Balti- more and San Francisco proved that the alleged "ireproof" building is not fire proof. for wooden fioorst window frames and trimmings of such building amount to millions of feet of lumber.

Novelist Who Wrote s4 "Best Sellers

From Harper's Weekly.
 The late Mrs. Mary Jane Holmes, whol died on October 2. had one, at least, of the attributes that all writers coyet. She had readers; had them by the millioni and kept them from the time she publ lished her first story in 1854 until the end of her life. In the course of fifty-onG years of active literary labor she turned up thirty-four boks. of which, 1t is saidi more than two million copies have beeu sold. That means an average circula 1 tion of about sixty thousand copies fof3 each book. She was seventy-nine year7l old when she died; her last completed1 story was published when she was sev1 enty-seven, and she left an unfnished because of trouble with her eyeslghts Her books had no literary distinction and we believe no moral effect She must and her million of readers evidently had pleasure in reading them. She seems tct have lived wise and exemplary life inl the village of Brockport, New York, va i ried by extensive travels and by summed migration to a seashore home. Amonal successful authors Mrs. Holmes must bts ranked high. She seems neither to havs written down to her audience nor up tcI it, but simply to have given them thel best she had. That seems to be about al All there is to the profession of writing-tdl give ones best Literary distinction isti a fairly definite thing which some writ CTS attain. and others. like Mrs. Holmesl do not but the ability to win readers fs. something very much more obscure.

LOVE CAN CAST A HALO
 : OVER THE POOREST HOME
From the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post.
 "One day during the past summer I was riding In the suburbs of a large town, when I passed by what appeared to be the most poverty stricken home had ever seen. The building was once 0 barn and had not been altered in many respects except 1t now housed human beings instead of cattle. The outside is covered with tarred paper; the Inner walls are not plastered. There is small one-story shed used for a barn. A great stack of hay was built up high in the yard and was covered with oil cloth to keep 1t dry.
 While I was deploring the condition of life amid such surroundings I was di- rectly in front of the house and counted seven small children around the front yard. I also espied another baby, look ing out of the door, who was prevented from coming out by a board laid across. It was evident that this eighth child was of too tender an age to wander alone.
 'The entire family were shrieking and screaming to the mother, who was in the house. Hastily leaving her ironing. and catching up the baby in her arms, she also ran out and joined the small army. It was then I saw the cause of the com motion. A heavy tip cart. drawn by two strong looking work horses. had been driven up to the front door by work ing man in blue overalis and jumper. The man jumped out and such kissing and tossing of the little ones in the air; not forgetting a kiss and loving pat for the frail little wife and baby. And then l learned what the great cry and noise had been. Papa Is coming. Papa is home! That was the cry which made the wife drop her work and run to the yard.
 'Yes It was o'clock. and papa was through with the hard days work of shovelling and carting gravel through the hot, busy streets. Papa was home and the children could climp on his knee, and mother could tell him some bright little act which the baby had done that day. Even the horses seemed glad to get home for If their shelter lacked style 1t did not lack eomfort-and there was always plenty of hay.
 .I learned later that this poor man bought this home for sl00, which was saved by the smallest amounts. Ills wages were only SIP a week and his fam ily of eight children are all too young to work But papa laughs and says some day in the bright future his little men

SETTING IN CARS
 CAUSES ARRESTS
OFFICER TOM WILLIAMS NABS TEN MEN TERDAY-THE BIG POLICEMAN CAUSES UNEAsi- NESS AND DlscoMFlTURE.

Before splitting in a street car let a man wait until he is three miles from the cor porate limits of Birmingham. If he does not do so he is in great danger.
 Having spat solemnly between his feet on the South Highland car yesterday aft ernoon, a young fellow felt heavy hand on his shoulder and heard: You are un- der arrest"' He was only the tenth one who had undergone the experience during the day. It was not pleasant.
 By orders of Chief Wier. Policeman Tom Williams and several others are riding on the street cars from morning til even ing, and every man who spits on. the floor is immediately put under arrest. The law is strenuous on this point and does not allow man to spit on street car whether chewing tobacco or not

will help him to paint and clapboard the
 house, and maybe there will be some
 plastering done inside and some snowy white ceilings to replace the rough tim
 bers. As 1t is now, papa finds it all he can do to feed and clothe his large family And many times he has felt saddened to find mother ironing the white skirts and
 multifarious ruffles of the wealthier class. Without his home he says 1t would bel impossible for him to live on his small earnings. ie
 ITO him the home-where his children. were born and which shelters his happyi family-seems sacred and almost beauti-' full. And even I-after seeing the halo which love threw over this poor, baret place-could well join in the daily prayen of this man-who does not fear the curse of race suicide-and murmur God bless

You Can Lead a Dyspeptic to the Table, But You Cannot Make
 Him Eat.

There comes a time in the lives of great many men and women when even a sirloin steak ceases to be poetry. It becomes protest. The appetite becomes ftful and fretful. Nothing on the bill Of fare can coax it.
 The appetite is there and yet it isn't.
 This makes eating a mere matter or machinery-the mouth doesn't water. The stomach has been worked overtime, and the body and the brain are paying the penalty.
