RACING DATES CUT.
Suburban to he Run but Saratoga
 Meeting Curtailcd.

New York, June l1.--Racing will not stop. in spite of the passage of the bills to prevent betting at the tracks. At least, the spring meetings will be run off and some of the stakes scheduled for the fall will also be de- cided At the Coney Island Jockey club 1t was said to-day that the pro gram just issued for the meeting, which Is to begin on Friday. June 10, with the suburban handicap, would be run off. As to the fall meeting. the matter will have 10 be decided later In any event, it Is probable that the stakes will have 10 be decided, as al all other tracks, as they are contracts with owners and breeders which will have to be carried out
 The Brighton Beach meeting Is scheduled to follow that at Sheeps- head bay, and that, too. will be run off as far as the stakes are concerned but the question as 10 the purses for the overnight events will be decided later
 The Saratoga meeting is next, and the association will probably abandon the last part of its time and run of all its stakes on the first eleven days and then close so as not to run Or the days which conflict with the Elm. pire City at Yonkers, which Is sched uled to begin late in July.
 The fall meetings which follow ar, the Coney Island, Gravesend, Belmon Park Jamaica, and Aqueduct ant decision will not be taken on thes, until a later date.

WIND PUTS JANITOR ON ICE.

Frank Mitchell Of 493 Seventh avenue, put himself on cold storage yesterday and the experiment nearly resulted fa- tally.
 Mitchell is janitor of the Knicker- booker theatre, where ice Is used to cool the house. Early in the morning Mitchell had four wagon loads of ice stored In room beneath the orches- tra floor. A current of air closed the door, the catch lock snapped, and the man was a prisoner.
 It was three hours before Mitchell could attract the attention of William Landolt the engineer. by pounding on the ventilating pipes. When he was re- leased he was too stiff to walk and was taken to one of the dressing rooms, where he was attended by Dr Louis Stern, and later sent me.--New York World

CURE BY CUT|CURA AT CITY MISSION
Young Woman Found in Awful Con-
 dition with Scabies Body a Mass of Sores from Scratching Tried Many Remedies for Seven Weeks Result Was Discouraging, But
ITCHING TORTURES
 YIELDED TO CUTICURA

"while was doing missionary work in the lower portion of several cities ! found it necessary to know a little of the efficacy of a few medicines and after Q while found that little knowl' edge of Cuticura was about all needed. One of the very bad cases I had to deal with was that of young woman who had come to us not only broken in spirit but in @ most awful condition physically, Our doctor examined her and told us that she had scabies (the itch) incipient paresis, rheumatism, etc, brought on from exposure and the effects of her ragged-edged life. Her poor body was a mass of sores from scratching and she was not able to retain solid food. We tried many things, a good tonic was prescribed and baths with @ rubbing of lard and sulphur. We worked hard for seven weeks and you can imagine how discouraged we were when, after all that time, we could sec SO little improv ement. One day hap pened to see Cuticura advertisement telling how 6 little baby had been cured of 6 bad case of skin eruption, and although I had but ninety-seven cents with me, bought cake of Cuti- cura Soap and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. When l reached nome l was like a child with a new toy, and we bathed our patient well and gave her a full dose of the R esolvent. She slept that night better than she had since che had been with us and the next day I located the price of box of Cuticura Ointment. am not exaggerating when I say that in exactly five weeks this young woman was able to look for a position being str ong enough to work and full of ambition. In another month shc left the home, and now has a good position in nice family where she is respected and is strong and we'll. You may refer any one you wish to me, personally.

fingers. Some have but narrow,
long seam, while others, and they for
outdoors, have three widths.
Now for the new furs, without which
no woman is happy. There is a de-
cided revival Of the short, tight fitting
jacket. with basque. The front Is
slightly fulled and the sleeves fulled,
with tapped cuffs held by bone buttons.
The fat collar is so arranged that 1t
can be transformed to storm collar.
Aside from the automobile or driving
coats, which are usually Of pony or
dog dyed to represent pony and lined
with squirrel skins, the present fancy
Is more for handsome neck pieces and
muffs. Some of these muffs are fear
full in size. Tails and paws, heads
and Tringes made Of fur to represent
tails are lavishly used to trim them.
There are fewer fat pieces Of close
fur, the. fancy being for the thicker
furs. Fox Is shown in more varieties
than i can tell. White and jet black,
besides silver gray, are the expensive
fox furs. The Isabella Is much liked
by young ladies. But the best Of
them are made Of skunk under the
better sounding name Of Alaska sa-
BILE. Skunk Is a rich, thick, glossy,
durable fur, and when made Of the
choicest skins II Is next In beauty to
sable. In fact, skunks and sables
are very near akin.
The old mode Of pointing" furs has
been revived, and we see some beaud-
ful stOIes and other neck pieces OF
skunk or some other dark fur with
these long silvery hairs showing at
intervals This gives the fur a very
rich appearance. The long white hairs
are put through the skin and left to
show in this way. 1t is certainly
rieh. as are all things which require
much hand labor. The illustration
shows a new long auto coat With
hood. And the other figure repre-
sents one Of these elegant and sumptu-
ous fur sets Of skunk with the white
hair pointed In. The muf is enormous
