THE MARATHON,
Big Money for Everybody In These
 Races.

That there is big money in the an nual six day bicycle race and the "Marathons" which have been run in the Madison Square garden recently is shown by figures which were handed in recently.
 = The gross receipts of the bicycle race lasting six days were SIS, 1000 in round numbers. Of this amount the Garden received one-half, or about $3S, ,0O0. Managers Powers and Pol lok after paying out about SIP, ,000 in expenses cut up about $27,000. The gross receipts of the Longboat- Do rando race were $17,500. The Gar den got $1.O0O rent for the building while the runners, who got 25 per cent each, took down $S,000; equal ly divided The expenses were $500 and Powers and Pollok pocketed $S,- 900 as their share The gross re- ceipts of the Dorando-Hayes race was $13,350, of which Hayes received 30 per cent, Dorando $1.500, the Gar den $10O0 and the managers the rest. This is conclusive evidence that the New York sporting public will pay literally for winter events.
 It appears that while Shrubb, the English professional, has signed arti- cles to run Marathon" with Tom Longboat in the Garden on January 8 or 9, the Indian has not yet ac- cepted terms. Longboat's manager, who is in Canada, says that the In dian has number of engagements to fill and that he will not consider the Shrubb match until after New Years But there seems to be no doubt that Longboat will fall in line when the proper time arrives.
 Battling Nelson, lightweight champion of the world, who arrived here from the west recently, says that Freddie Welsh. the English box CT. will be his next opponent, but that he cannot say just when the mill will take place. Nelson declares that Welsh is the best man at 133 pounds. barring himself, in the world and that he outclasses Packey Mcfarland The Dane may have been joking, but he insisted that before resuming the pugilistic game he intended to do a lot of long distance running for the purpose of taking part in several Marathon" races with Longboat. Dorando or Hayes. Nelson says he was always a good runner and that he sees no reason why he should not get a whack at some of the rich mon ey prizes that are hung up for these events.

THE PROPHET.

The prophet business, while rather exalted save in the prophets own township, has it's drawbacks. In old en times it was especially conspicuous by scarcity of raiment among the chosen few and stringency in the pantry. but the down-to-date prophet hes a discriminating eye on both the clothing store and the cOmmissary de- partment. He will furnish the latest brand of prophecy with the shortest possible delay, but he insists upon correctly tailored toggery and a tempting bill of fare down at his boarding house.
 Of late the crop of prophets has been unusually abundant, and not a few of them have gone the way of those prophets in Biblical times who met death in various approved, al though somewhat painful, forms
 The late Alexander Dowie easily takes first honors among modern prophets, but at Benton Harbor, Nichigan. one Benjamin, who leads a flock designated as the Jolly Joshers or some other euphonions title, Is creating some diversion Benjamin predicts the end of all things mundane about the second Tuesday in next week. but in the mean time he encourages unceasing industry among his disciples and continues 10 accu- mulate hefty bunch of worldly soods-whch naturally nncovers the method in Bens' madress,
 Down in Louisiana a negro prophet foretold the burning of barn-or, to be more exact, commanded a couple of his followers to set fire 10 it. and now sad to state, all three have pass ed in their checks, so to speak. They were lynchel and the Pelican State is temporarily prophetless. But there will be others. The crop Of prophets is not affected by drought or too much rain. II blossoms, fruits and blos- sons yet again. and still the world moves on as if there were no predic- tion of things dire and calamitous.

WATSON PREFERS
 BRYAN TO TAFT

Macon. Ga, July 24-Thomas F.. Watson Populst candidate for Pres- dent, opened his campaign here last night in a speech an hour long. He said in part:
 The greatest purpose of my life now is to put the South back into the po- sition of national influence which she
 held before the Civil War and to bring
 back the reign of Democratic princi-
 ples as they were practiced in the for
 ties and the ffties. The greatest ob-
 stacle in the way is the apathy of the South itself. If the Southern people
 would arouse themselves, they could
 easily throw off the domination of the Eastern capitalists who exploit the Southern States through the machin-
 cry of the Democratic party.
 You call yourselves Democrats-An
 drew Jackson Democrats, Thomas Jeff lferson Democrats-and you have ney- CT stopped to inquire what are the principles for which Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson stood. You are asked to vote for MT. Bryan and yet Mir. Bryan's platform is one 1 which Andrew Jackson would have spurned and Thomas Jefferson despis- ed. It represents a disgraceful sur render of principles. In 1896 MT. Bry an claimed to be as good Populist as Watson.
 For eight years he wore every shred of clothing which Populism had in it's wardrobe. In 1904 he abandoned his Populist raiment and entered jealous ly into the Parker campaign which he himself had denounced as sell out to the Wall street element of the Democratic party. In Denver he was absolutely in despotic control of the Democratic party. Whatever he want ed was done. Whoever he wanted thrown out was bounced. The plat form is just what he made it, and that platform is one of the most shameful abandonments of principle that political history presents.
 What right has he to demand the support of those citizens who are Democrats in principle, upon such platform as this?
 And particularly what right has he to expect the support of the South? Upon one principle alone can he hope to meet it and that is upon the idea that the South is compelled to vote the Democratic ticket, no matter how of- fensive in principle the platform may be, nor how puch the candidate may insult her.
 Mr. Bryan understands the helpless ness of the South and exploits it to the very utmost . From the Southern States he must draw 156 of the 242 electoral votes that are necessary to his success, and yet he has treated the Southern States as purely neg ligible quantity. In return for her 156 electoral votes she gets nothing absolutely nothing. The platform rec ognzes no interest of hers.
 If the South will follow me in this campaign, revolting against the odlous conditions under which she is expect ed to serve MT. Bryan, she will at once resume her old place in the sis terhood of sections. Being now Democratic asset, which can be count ed on with certainty, nobody regards her pays any attention to her inter- ests nor thinks of her feelings.
 Let the South become politically un- certain, and she will again become po- ltically great
