Drives With Arm In Sling as Result
 of Accident.

Chattanooga, May S.-Lewis Strang and George Dewitt were the star drivers in the automobile races at Olympic park track today.

 On account of being detained in Bir- mingham, Arthur Greiner was unable to be here. but his big Thomas flyer was shipped and was entered in two of the races, being driven by Clarence James
 The Chattanooga derby was the feature of the card. It was scheduled to go fifty miles, but was cut to ten. All the local cars were put out of comission by slight acdents and for five miles it was a close race between Strang and Dewitt. At this stage Strangs car suffered an accident and Dewitt took the lead. Strang got in shape and chased the Jacksonville boy for two miles when his car again went down. Dewitt finished In 14:46 2-5.

A SACK-cOAT REGIME.
coattails Have Been Cut off by the
 Taft Administration.

Washington Dispatch to the New York
 American.
 This is a sack-coat administration. as contradistingushed from the silk hat and frock coat regime of Roosevelt Going back a bit-it seems a long while ago now, by the way-President Roosevelt was never seen about the White House save In the statesman's frock coat. Roosevelt in sack coat would have been incongru- ous save on horseback or the hunt Loeb followed his chiefs example; and going on down the list he finally came to As sistant Secretary Latta--he who carries the messages to Congress-who never tucked the portfolio under his arm until he had donned the long-tailed coat and set the silk tile straight on his head.
 Now all is changed. Taft works in a business sack suit Carpenter essayed the silk hat and long coat for the first week. and then abandoned 1t for the sack coat and derby. Finally, one day last week. the President had some appointments to send to the Senate. Latta used to be a familiar figure in the upper chamber. In those days 1t was unusual for him not to appear there at least once every day with a communication from the White House So the solons grew to know him well. And then, on one afternoon in question a tall, grave-faced young man appeared with communications from the President of the United States. Senators sat up and rubbed their eyes in wonder. Latta all right, they discovered on the second look but Latta in sack suit! So styles change, even among statesmen. Inci- dentally, costtails are not the only things that have been cut by the Taft ad- ninistraton.

The Doctors Real Opinion.

From the London Telegraph.
 One of two sisters who lived together was suddenly taken with a lung attack she feared was serious. She therefore sent for a specialist and asked her doctor to meet him. Talking over his coming with her sister, she said: Mona, l wish l could know Sir Henry B.'s real opinion. Neither he nor Dr. M. will tell us if there Is anything really wrong, but l would much rather know"
 Her sister replied: Do not worry, dearest; you shall know everything, for I shall go down to the dining room and stand behind the big oak screen and listen to every word they say"
 And will you be sure and tell me, Mona?"
 "You may rely on that, dearest; I will tell you every word"
 Even if l am not to get well?'
 Even then, dearest" promised the loyal Mona.
 The hour for the consultation arrived, and the sister went to the dining room, and, standing behind the great oak screen, ensconced herself and prepared to listen.
 By and by the two doctors were heard descending the stairs, and a moment later they came into the room. Walking over to the fireplace the specialist sank into an easy chair and the local doctor sank into another. Then followed a moments sl- lence broken by the specialist, who leaned little forward
 My dear M.," he said, slowly, as he looked across at his colleague, 'of all the ugly women that's the very ugliest wom- an I've seen in my life
 'Ts she?" replied the local doctor. You wait until you've seen her sister"
