Francis Scott Key Anniversary.

Centennial anniversaries have the
call to an unusual extent this year
but some that have not yet reached
that stage of mellowness may not be
entirely devoid of interest. Francis
Scott Key, who wrote in 1914 THE
Star-Spangled Banner" which has
Jeen called the favorite heroic song
of America" died Us years ago today
and the date is deem I'd fitting one
to call attention to the national move
ment to rescue his old home at the
National Capital from decay or pos.
sible destruction. A monument to his
memory already stands in Golden Gate
Park, San Francisco, erected % years
ago by James Lick, and eleven years
later monument was erected by pri'
vate subscription at Frederick, Md.
over the graves of Key and his wife
This national anthem is the only one
of his poems that has lived, anc
probably the only one that has de.
served to live, though volume OF
lyrical efforts by him was published
about so years ago. Even THE Star
Spangled Banner is not produc.
ton of extraordinary literary merit
but 1t does breathe a certain inspira.
tional fervor that Is stimulus OF
patriotic spirit. The circumstances
under which it was written certainly
protect it from any charge of per.
functoriness The feeling that it ex
presses is genuine, and real feeling
holds its appealing power with OF
without setting of choice literar!
expression.--From the Boston Tran
script

New York. bees-if .---Fhe-s stock mar
ket today was marked by the qui-
essence Of the usually active stocks
OF the great corporations and of move
nents of shares of minor companies.
The approach of the year end money
requirements had some restraint on
speculation. although fears of strin-
gency are passed, The survey in the
ANIMAL report of the attorney general
of the pending antitrust legislation
served to recall the number and ex-
tent of these measures and the wide
spread issues concerned. The i'm
preston is not materially modified
by the assertion that the presidential
recommendations on the subject will
be deferred until after the supreme
court renders decisions in the Ameri-
can Tobacco and Standard Oil cases.
The bank statement disclosed more
benefit from cash receipts from the
interior than was estimated, and
while there was some expansion of
the loan account the excess of that
account over deposits was slightly
lessened reversing the tendency that
was monifest for several weeks.

Source Of Profit to Women.
Illuminating of documents is new
field OF work for women In England,
and 1t might recommend itself as a
congenial and profitable employment
for women in this country.
Mrs. Hamer-Jackson of London Is
urging women to take up the work,
which she says properly belongs to
them. Mrs. Hammer-Jackson is one
of the best illuminators in England.
She makes large income and does all
her work at home.
She describes Illuminating as an art.
Her work is devoted almost exclu'
sively to the decoration of public ad-
dresses, books and cards in the fine
floral scrolls and designs, often spot
ted with gold and silver, In the style
of the old Anglo-Saxon and Gothic
manuscripts.
Mrs. Hamer-J Jackson says there is
practically unlimited work to be dom
for private persons. 1t is her plan
to organize school for the instruc
ton OF young women in the work.

cumbs to Old Age.

Salvador, 23-year-old son, by imp.
Prince Charlie and Salina, by Lexing-
ton, died as a result of paralysis and
infrmities of old age at James B.
Haggin's Elmendorf farm, near Lex
ington, KY. The stable in which Saliva
tor died is within a stones throw of
the spot upon which he was foaled as
the property of Daniel Swigert, April
so, 1886.
Haggin ordered that Salvatore feet
te mounted and directed that coffin
near Green Hills, iniwhich the famous
racer, immortalized in song and story,
was buried. Later it is Haggin's in
tention to erect a granite shaft at the
grave
Salvador, in his three years on the
turf, started in nineteen races, won
sixteen, was second once, third once,
and fourth once. His aggregate win
nings were $113,710. He made his
first start in the Junior champion at
Monmouth park, August IL, 1883. This
race was won by Proctor Knott and
it was the only one in which Salvador
was ever unplaced.
Proctor Knott beat him again by
half a length in the Futurity.
The following year he finished third
to Longstreet and Proctor Knott in
the race for the Omnibus stakes. He
won the Flatbush, Maple Tuckahoe
and Titan stakes as a go-year-old
and the Tidal, Realization, Lorillard,
Jersey handicap, September stakes,
and two purses as a three-year-old.
He began his four-year-Old form by
winning the Suburban handicap, fol
lowed by the memorable match for
$4,000 a side, in which he beat Tenny a
nose over the mile and quarter route,
walked over for the Monmouth cup,
beat Tenny four lengths for the Cham
payne stakes, and closed his career
by running a mile on the straight
course at Monmouth park in 1854,
which stands to-day as the American
record. In the stud, however, Salvador
was not a great success. The best
of his get was the Futurity winner,
Savable. For the last four or five
years he has been pensiOner at FL
mendorf.
