JOCKEYS OF OLD ENGLAND.
Nineteen Different Riders Have Held
 Leading Honors in 10 Years.

In looking over the records of the leading jockeys on the English turf , the last forty-nine years some inter- esting and remarkable figures have been disclosed. During that long period of English racing the honor of leading the riders for the different seasons has been won by only nine teen different jockeys.
 In 1860, c. Fordham, known as "the little demon,' captured the leading honors with 146 wins and repeated this success in 1861, 1862, 1863, 1865. 1867, 1868, 1869 and 1871. Fordham rode over 1,500 winners during his career on the turf and, while he rode only one winner of the Derby, had the honor of piloting four Oaks winners be- sides the winners of many other val uable stakes. Fordham ranks next to the phenomenal Archer in the jockey history of the English turf F. Archer's name first appears in the list of winning jockeys in 1873, when he finished second with 101 wins. The following year Archer for the first time finished at the top of the jockey list and then held that coveted position for twelve more years against all opposition. Besides leading the jockeys for thirteen consecutive years, during which time he rode over 2,700 winners. Archer piloted home five Derby winners, four winners of the Oaks and six winners of the St Leger. The remarkable career of this fam ous jockey has never been surpassed nor even equalled in any country, nor is there any likelihood that the future will produce his equal, much less his superior.
 Another jockey who achieved con- siderable fame at his chosen pro- fession was NJ. Cannon, who was at the head of the jockey list for six different seasons.
 In 1900 the American jockey, l.. Reiff, won first place with 143 wins. and his brother, J. Reiff, finished third with 124
 Among the present day jockeys o. Madden has won the leading honor on two different occasions, and Dan- ny Maher, the leader of the last sea- son, has made an enviable record during his nine years on the Eng fish turf The following table shows the three leading jockeys with the number of winners they rode

Berlin, Dec 29.-Cipriano Castro, for mer dictator of Venezuela, has tired ot the monotony of the life in medical sanitarium.
 He insisted, notwithstanding Dr. Is- rael's objections, on returning to the Esplanade hotel, and arriving there the Venezuelan dictator expressed great pleasure at being back, adding that the lack of substantial comforts to which he was accustomed were more than he could bear.
 He said his stay at the Esplanade hotel would probably last three months, as he proposes there to under go long treatment.

Mike Schreck, the. western heayv- weight, says he is glad that Burns was beaten by Johnson and gives as reason the statement that Burns wanted him to post 5000 stake that he tSchreck) would pretend to be knocked out. Schreck insists that he made Johnson quit in Chi cago some time ago and wants anY other crack at the new champion. Schreck will meet Marvin Hart in a twenty round bout in Lexington, Ky, Thursday night. This bout is gen. orally regarded as a joke.
 ,Jem Driscoll, the champion featherweight of England and Aus tralla, who wants to fight Abe At tell, will meet Matty Baldwin in a twelve round bout in Boston to- night. Baldwin was easily bested by Drlscoll in six round bout in this city some time ago. but he has in sisted ever since that he was not in proper condition. But Baldwin can not make excuses this time, as he has been training hard for the go. In Boston the experts say that Dris- coll is one of the best fcatherwcights they have ever seen, and he will en- ter the ring tonight big favorite.
 The betting in Los Angeles is ? to l that Kaufman will knock out Jim Barry at the Jeffrles club tomorrow night. The men will go practically to a finish, as they are matched to box lorty-tive rounds. It is possible that three ex-champions, Jeffries, Corbctt and Sullivan, will be at the ringside.
 The ten round bout between frankie Madden and Harlem Tom my Murphy at the National A. c. In East Twenty-fourth street, has been postponed from New Years night TOT one week because Murphy says he has an injured hand. It seems rather odd that whenever Murphy runs up against first class man he Is either i'll or incapacitatcd. The post ponement~ has disappointed the club members who have made res ervation for the occasion.
 Instead of making match with Driscoll, Abe AtteIl says he may tackle Freddie Weeks at GoIdf1eld some time in January, and after that he may meet Battling Nelson at catch weights. AttcIl intends to make European tour next summer, Perhaps Driscoll can corner him in London.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL,
Few People Know How Useful It Is in
 Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing To Try.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature. but few realize it's valne winch taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose
 Charcoal is remed..' that the mere you take of it the better; it is not drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present 'n 1 t pm;,i ii and in. tines and car ries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and irn' proves the complexion. it whitens the teeth and further acts as [ natural aud emlnently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of cstarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one l form or another. but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal. and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form Of large pleasant tasting ioz- enges, the charcoal being mixed With honey
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condi- ton of the general health, better com plexion, sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from tf7eir continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of ' the benefits of charcoal says: "1 ad- i rise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex ion and purify the breath. mouth and throat: I also believe the liver is great ly benefited by the daily use of them, they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, vet 1 be- lieve I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in
 any of the ordinary charcoal tablets. Send vour name and address to-day
 for a free trial package. and see foi

 Building.
FINE MINERAL COLLECTION

Tomorrow will be the third time when the Yale art school and the Pea, body museum will be opened on Sun day afternoon. It is expected that the crowds, which have been very great, will be even greater, provided the day is al all clear and bright. The build ings will probably attract many spec tators on their way to and from the Grace hospital fire ruins, which will att tract all.
 The museum is expecting to have ready small leahet which will help visitors materially in the systematic study of the specimens in the Elm street building. Proof sheets of this little leaflet have reached the Journal Courier. There is chance that the pamphlets will not be ready in time for Sunday and for that reason this paper is adding below quotations from the pamphlet, which may be cut out and taken to the building Sunday and put to good use.
 As Is known the museum was found- ed by George Peabody of Massachus- etts in 1866 It is now open to the public from to o'clock on week days | and on Sunday afternoons from l:SO to o'clock.
 The pamphlet reads as follows:

While the majestic sun was slowly
sinking in the golden west on Thanks
giving Day the Old Gold and Blue of
Fisk were reigning triumphant over
the Crimson and Black of Meharry,
and her noble sons once more carried
The golden banner to success. In a
game replete with sensational plays
and full of the best brand of football
Nashville has had the pleasure to wit
ness, the boys from North Nashville
won, not on a fluke nor a tumble, but
on good, hard football They ont
layed their opponents at every stage
Of the game, and before the first half
was over i*gwas plain that Fisk had
Neharry <oeaten. She went into the
game with dash and vim that swept
Meharry off her feet, and before she
ould recover, the game was lost. Fisk.
showed that old spirit of never die,
and was fighting hard every moment
Of play. While, her team was lighter
than the one fNgm Meharry, they had
mastered the new game in all of its
apartments and the manner in which
they worked their shifts and forma-
lions was indeed beautiful. They sim
ply had Meharry on the run.
Although beaten, Meharry was not
discouraged, and the manner in which
she fought back is indeed a credit to
her. She put her hopes in straight,
hard football, with now and then a
forward pass, but Coach Giles had
built up a line that could hold and
there was nothing doing in that way
She tried the ends and they to had
been screwed up to the sticking point.
and there was nothing doing there
After finding that she could not gain,
she began kicking game in which
they were successful enough to score.
All in all the game was fine one, and
would have moved off without hitch
had not some bad blood copped out,
which speaks bad for the schools, and
shows that the man has bad streak.
| This kind of thing should be broken
up; it has gone too far already The
public does not go out to see a prize
fght, but they pay what the manage
0nent charges to see the game, and they
demand good, clean football for their
money; and men of this stripe should
be ruled from the game. While Me-
harry lost, she took her defeat in a
sportsmanlike manner, and too, her
men played clean ball. and it is hoped
Of the public that the management of
the teams will see to it that the prize
fighting element is eliminated from
the game.
