DR.. STUNT
TO STUDENTS
Missionary Secretary addresses
Dougherty's Business
College.

DR.. Stuntz, of New York City, Mis-
S1onary Secretary of the Methodist
Episcopal church, talked to the stud
ents of Dougherty's Business College,
Thursday afternoon.
DR.. Stuntz said he felt particularly
interested in this school from the fact
that his son Clyde had been a student
there. He told how his son, after three
months study at Dougherty's. had
gone with him to the Philippines and
taken position at 500 a month when
barely Is years old. He had completed
High school but was too young to take
up his College work, and his father
wished him to have some practical ex-
perfence first. He is graduating this
spring from Wesleyan University, Mid
dleton, Conn.,, and has found his ability
as Stenographer of immense value : o
him all the way through his course,
both in taking the lectures and in pay
ing his expenses. He was private Sec
one time, and has been able to pay most
of his expenses by doing stenographie
work.
Dr. Stuntz said in part: This thing
you are learning will be of increasing
value to you. Whatever you do you
will always have use for this Short
hand. We have an immense correspand-
ence in our office, with all quarters of
the globe, and I handle more than one
half of 1t. I would give $1,000 today f
to stop and study it, nor would I learn
it as easily at my age as you do
am using stenographers all the
time and I am frank to say that they
drive me mad. The great mistake Of
the average StenOgraphers is that they
don't know enough. If you are in a
hurry you want a stenographer who
can spell, who, when you say de-
mothenes" will end it in mes and be-
gin it with capital One stenographer
who did some work for me spelled
"wage-earner," way-journer," and
mis-spelled thirty-seven other words in
one-half days work She was nice
looking, polite, and rapid, but she didn't
the name of a long suffering lot of en-
ployers. to get this thing down right,
particularly the spelling, punctuation,
and paragraphing. A first-class
stenographer needs to know enough to
be the president of a college. We are
living in a world age. We haven't time
to stop and explain things If 1 dictate
to you as a stenographer the word
"Guayaquil,' you ought to know what
it is, where it is and how to spell the
name.
You ought to know your job and
know it right before you set up to do
business.
Make your employers business your
business, take enough interest in it to
put your best thought and effort into
what you are doing.
l. DR.. Stuntz gave many interesting
facts about, the Philippines and sum-
married forcibly the reforms that have
been accomplished by the American
rule and the great religious work being
done by our missionaries.

GOTHAM TRACKS POOL
Big Race Courses of New York Unite
for Season.

New York. Feb. 26-Four of the
big race tracks around New York City
have pooled interests for the coming
season. They are Brighton. Empire
City, Aqueduct and Jamaica AS a
result of their agreement, the four
associations will divide UP the profits
or losses that may result from the
80 days of sport allotted them.
1t appears that the recent puzzle
over the allotment of dates made this
combination advisable. The idea orig
mated from the fact that Sheepshead,
Gravesend and Belmont have been
pooling their holiday receipts on GER
tain of the seasons big days. When it
was found that these big tracks in
sisted on having the usual quota Of
dates, including holidays and that Sar-
atoga demanded at least 81 days. while
Empire City and Brighton declined to
hold fall meetings, it was suggested
that the four associations named
should combine for mutual protection.
Aqueduct and Jamaica will each
race % days, Empire City will conduct
12-day meeting and Brighton will
be open A days. The track owners
declare that they do not expect rae
ing to prove a profitable investment
this year.
They say they will be satisfied to
pay expenses. The program arranged,
however, shows that the track owners
feel confident of certain renewal OF
public patronage.

Boarders at Rooming House
Have Narrow Escape.
Firemen Battle With Flames at
632 Madison Street.
AN INCENDIARY BLAZE
Kitchen of Place Piled High
With Burning Paper.
Mystery in C0nfiagration Re.
suits in Investigation.

What is supposed to have been an
incendiary fire caused about SIS worth
of damage and endangered the lives of
six people at 692 Madison street this
morning at 1888 a. m.
The place is a rooming and boarding
house managed by Mrs. W. N. Brown.
Early this morning some of the room
ers woke up smelling smoke. Upon in
vestigation they found the house full
of smoke and flames eating their way
up the wall in the living room on the
first floor.
When the firemen arrived they found
that the two gas stoves-one in the
kitchen and one in the living room
were turned on full blast and the doors
of the stoves open. In the middle of
the room papers were piled high and
were burning. If the fire had gone a
few minutes longer the gas would have
become ignited and the house could
not have been saved.
AS it was the firemen succeeded in
combining the fire to the one room. Mrs.
Brown states that it was customary to
leave the front door unlocked for the
accommodation of the roomers. She
knows of no enemies who would plan
such an act against her. The cause of
the fire is a mystery and the parties
owning and occupying the house are
conducting thorough investigation
today. The police may be asked to in
VeStigate.
