English Raceuoers Protest.

There recently occurred at two race
courses in England incidents which might
some day happen in this country if the
prOvocation existed. At the two tracks
the price of admission was increased
without the public having been notified.
This so angered racegOers that they
threatened not to come again At another
place an increased tax for admission TO
what is known as the big ring was met
with concerted protest on the part OF
hundreds of visitors, who, upon refusal
to reduce the rates, went in body to
much cheaper ring. even az personal IN
convenience. At one of the tracks the
reason given by the chairman Of the di
rectOrs was that the English Jockey club
had cut off two of the tracks most lu
CTative 1ates in July because the stakes
were not large, and the attempt to meet
this caused the increase in admission fees,
which are already so high in England as
to be the cause of much public protest
The lesson seemed to be taught by the
jockey club was that the track which gave
the biggest stakes would secure the best
dates An application of the same rule
in this country might be a surprise to our
jockey club, for if the Empire City people
could be assured dates they would easily
be able to oUtbid Saratoga in the nature
and value of its stakes. hence should get
more and better dates than Saratoga.

Laid Sensational Doubles"

Thompson had laid the odds of 80 to l
IN the doubles. The agent Of Hon. James
White was so anxious to collect the money
after Chester had won the second of the
doubles that he was the first man to

were made, and when Thompson crossed
over to the bank and drew out $4,000 IN

Mr.. Whites agent his employers win

FOUR COOKED ALIVE.
Twenty Others Are Fatally Injured
BY Explosion.

Butler, Pa. Especially An explo-
sion, caused by the upsetting of the
metal pot in the No. 1 cupola of the
Standard Steel Company here, caused
the death of men, fatally injured
20 and seriously injured 10 others.
Nearly all the men were foreign
ors.
The large wheel plant, $50 by 100
feet, was demolished, causing a loss
estimated at 100000.
The hot metal was showered over
the men, causing horrible injuries.
Arms, fingers and ears were torn off
while a number of the men had
their eyes burned out Several men
are in the hospital, with their legs
burned to a crisp.
At midnight the physicians attend
ing the injured said that at least 10
of the men would die. Buildings in
the city, from the force of the ex-
plosion, shivered as If shaken by an
earthquake and people rushed from
their homes panic-stricken. Wren
flames shot from the burning car
works fully 10000 people rushed to
the scene, blocking streets and inter-
fering with fire companies and ambu-

accident 10 doctors were On the scene
and the wounded were carried into
the office of the car company, where
they were cared for.
Through lack of room many of the
injured were compelled to lie for an
hour on cots in street cars, before 1t
was possible to take them to the

RESPONSIBLE TO eOD ALONE.
Regards Himself Only rs Steward Of
the Standard Oil Wealth, and Be-
lieves He Has Been Entrusted by
PrOvidence With Care of Property of
Many Widows and Orphans.

New York Especially. - John d.
Rockefeller's private conception Of
himself, heretofore never allowed to
become public, which is that he is
only the steward of the Standard OIL
wealth. responsible to God alone for
his stewardship, was announced Sun
day morning by the Rev. Hobert 8.
Macarthur, the rector of Calvary Bap-
fist Church, at Sixth Avenue and
Fifty-seveEth Street, before his regu-
lar young peoples Sunday morning
class. Mr.. Macarthur in the course
Of defense Of Mr.. Rockefeller and
the Standard Oil Company said:
"a few years ago someone asked
Mr.. Rockefeller privately why 1t was
that, since he had such a tremendous
fortune and his tastes were so simple
that he could not possible use one
tenth Of his income, he did not retire.
Mr.. Rockefeller then made a reply
which he did not intend should be
made public and which gives an at
titude of his mind not appreciable
by the public.
1 am the trustee of the property
of Others he said, through the
providence of God committed to my
care. 1 am the steward of vast in
terests belonging in great part to
widows and orphans and others who
are actually or relatively poor. For
this holding am responsible to God.
We're 1 to give up my interest in
the Standard OIL Company 1 would
imperil the Interests of these people,
according to the popular supposition
that my withdrawal would hurt the
company's business. Therefore, I
feel it my duty to God and to the
people whose money is invested in
my company TO continue active in it's
welfare"
The Rev. Mr.. Macarthur was asked
after his address about the correct
ness of the quotation he had cited.
He said that it was absolutely au-
thentic, and he intlmated that he
himself was the one who had heard
Mr.. Rockefeller so characterize his
position in the world In his ad-
dress, which was upon THE Virtues
of the Standard OH Company" DR..
Macarthur had something to say
about the character of Rockefeller.
Everything connected with the
Standard Oil Company is colossal"
he said. Mr.. Rockefeller's income
lent contributions are corresponding
ly great. He has given a larger
amount of money to educational, hu-
manitarian and missionary endeav-
ors than has ever before been given
in the history of the race. Probably
no man in the past quarter century
has had so large an income. and
certainly no man has given so large
a proportion of his income to these
benevolent enterprises.
When the hue and cry of the
present time against Mr. Rockefeller
and the company which he heads has
passed away l am confident that he
will take his place in the history of
the world as marvellous genius, the
organizer of the vastest of industries
and q generous giver for the welfare
