For a civil suit the case is prob

the court room spectators the suit
has lost it's attractive features as the
legal controversy grows more tedious.

found the court room too dull for

Luckily there have been numerous
occasions where recesses were neces-

NEW YORK, Feb. %. There will

Three at least and probably four
tracks will be re-opened. They will
be run on the subscription basis, the
stockholders, breeders and horsemen
interested in the reviving OF the game
contributing to the pursees and the
running expenses. In this manner 1t
will be possible to try out the oral
plan of betting which has apparently
been legalized by the recent decision
Of the courts
The tracks at which racing is GER
tain are Belmont Park, the finest race
course in America; Saratoga and
Aqueduct. The other track where the
question is still in doubt is the En-.
pire City near Yonkers which Is own
ed by Jim Butler.
Governor Sulzer is expected to an
nounce the appointment OF new State
racing commission next week. Ru.

Of the oral system OF betting, which II
is agreed would solve the entire rae

Comment.

The Judges remarks were re-
ported in the Press dispatches. He
did not write out any opinion but
simply signed an order quashing the
indictment without going into his
reasons.
His oral remarks in sustaining the
motion to quash fully expressed his
conviction that the whole article
written by the defendant and not
an extract taken therefrom should
be embraced in the indictment.

Comment.

Just after the Civil War, l re-
member hearing my father and other
gentlemen discussing the booklet of
ARIEL" which had just been pub
liShed.
1t created a sensation. The gist
of it is, that the Negro has no soul.
A crop of similar pamphlets soon
followed, and one of them was
traced to a local Methodist preacher
of the name Of John G. Caldwell.
MI Caldwell was a very bright
man, and fine preacher and | think
an honest Christian gentleman.
He got into trouble by telling our
home folks too many things that
they were ignorant of.
You see. Brother Caldwell was
brought more knowledge to the local
market than the needs Of the hour
justified.
BY the way, he was from Tennes-
see. 1t is not often that a man from
Tennessee knows much too much,
but Mr.. Caldwell had that complaint,
and he had it bad.
Our local people would not stand
for it.
He had given offense by singing
better than anybody else, praying
more powerfully than anybody else.
and preaching more fluently than
anybody else, and by telling our
foxy farmers that they ought to cut
up their ranches into 10-acre fields,
manure heavier, work faster, diver
sify crops, and haul mud out of the
creek bottoms to soften the summer
glare Of our upland sandbeds.
This kind Of palayer had Wearied
our foxy farmers exceedingly; and so
it came to pass that when he said
that one drop of water contained
millions Of living things. patience
ceased to be a virtue in our midst.
Brother Caldwell piled fuel on the
flame by writing a little book which
seemed to prove that Cuffee has no
soul
Then the Methodist church got
busy tried Brother Caldwell for his
heresy, and turned him out to Craze
with the he-gOats.
AS a little school-boy, listened
to the trial. and it is hardly neces-
sary for me to say that my sympa-
