FORTUNES MADE BY JOCKEYS
What FaVorites of the Turf Have
Earned Riding the Ponies
Large incomes Made

London.-During the hearing Of the
racing libel suit before Justice Oar
ling in the lord chief Justices court
it was stated that Frank Wootton,
the jockey, had ridden in no fewer
than 5000 races and that he received
the sum of $500 for winning the
Cesarewitch. It was also stated that
he had $685. 900 invested in Australia.
Well known jockeys make large in
comes, says London Tit-Bits, and
When Tom Loates died some time ago
he left an estate which was valued
for probate at $371,71O gross-the
largest fortune ever amassed by a rid
ing crack.
Retaining fees and presents repre-
sent the Jockeys greatest source Of
wealth, and it is interesting to know
that Tom Cannon received no less
than $4,000, paid in advance, for first
claim on his services for a term of
years by the late Mr.. Baird.
Tod Sloan, the American Jockey.
was said to have saved over 100000
out of his riding fees and retainers,
which huge sum he is reported to
have lost by unIucky speculations. In
one year alone his fees amounted to
nearly $75, 900. One of Sloan's great
est victories on the English turf was
when he won the Goodwood cup for
Mrs. Langtry on Norman. The race
was worth $4,000, and Sloan is said
to have received a fee of S., 900. When
he rode Ballyhoo Bey to victory in the
Futurity, the richest race on the
American turf, William c. Whitney,
the owner of the animal, paid him
100000
The total number Of the late Fred
Archer's winning mounts reached
2,746 He won the Derby five times,
the Two Thousand Guineas five times,
the Cakes four times and the st.
Leger six times. For winning the Der
by of 1885 Lord Ratings gave Archer
$13,875. Presents ranging from jew
elry costing hundreds Of dollars to
| modest box of cigars were lavished
upon Fred Archer by his admirers.
On one occasion he pOcketed presents
amounting to- over $4,000. At the
zenith of his career Archer had a
large cash box filled with articles Of
jewelry valued at nearly $4,000,
which were given to him by lady adj
mirers.
Daley, the jockey who piIoted Her
nit home as the winner Of the Derby
in 1887, received nearly $4,000 in
presents from admirers and bookmak-
ers, including a handsome check from
the owner OF the horse, Henry Chap
lin.
Some race horse owners are excep-
tionalIy generous when their animals
are victorious. The Count de La
grange presented Grimshaw with $780,
0Q0 for steering Gladiator to victory.
For plotting Blue Gown first past the
post in the Derby Of 1868 Sir Joseph
Hawley, the owner, handed over to
Wells the jockey, the entire stakes,
amounting to 800 In 1851 Sir Jo-
seph presented Job Marson with S10,-

POLICING Of PARIS
Waldo Tells of Shakeup in the
French Capital.
Germans Are Very Law-Abidina-~
No One in Berlin Disobeys the
Injunction on Placards Read
ing "Verboten."

New York.-'London." said Rhine
lander Waldo, commissioner Of New
York's police, respects its police;
Berlin obeys; Paris hates
Mr.. Waldo didn't discuss New
York's turn of mind toward the force.
What's the use of awaking sad
echoes? He has just returned from
a studioUs trip to Europe.
Il found three great policemen in
Henry, Hennion and Jagow," said he,
in Scotland Yard, Paris and Berlin.
LOndon's police and police methods
correspond most nearly to those in
vogue in the United States. The Paris
detective system is being torn to
pieces and rebuilt. BerIin's police de-
partment is a highly efficient human
lied card index. It's main function is
to keep tab
Mr.. Waldo explained the law-abid-
ing ways and love of system OF the
German people.
Wherever you 60" said he, you
find placards, 'Verboten.' That means
forbidden. No one ever thinks of
disobeying. They do not even ques-
ton. If mad wag were to slip into
Germany over night and change all
those 'Verboten pIacards he would
automatically alter the habits Of an
entire people"
No German or Londoner ever
thinks Of assaulting a copper. In this
town one Of the favored sports at the
weekly athletic meets Of the Gas
House gang CT the Gophers is to
whang a brick off a copper's cap.
I asked a Scotland Yard official, -
said Mr.. Waldo, IF the Londoners
often assaulted his boobies.
My dear fellow, no, said he. 1t
simply isn't done"
Paris policemen are heavily armed
and walk about in pairs Mr.. Waldo
did not care to go more deeply into
this matter. He said that over in
Europe they take the press seriously.
One gathers, however, that the advan-
tage of the arrangement is that there
is usually a survivor after the Apache
attack. A sort of $3.50 split, so to
speak. He would not make a direct
comparison of the personnel of the
New York police force with that of
the three other great cities
The police force Of a great city is
always fairly representative of the
citizens of that city" said he. New
York's force has the defects and the
merits that characterize New York's
people AS to Observation-Disclosures

In getting out Of the way Of Wheel

regiment was dropped in crossing a

of the names were blurred by the

order, and when the clerk came to the
name of an Irishman, he said:

ords of Douglas county has been writ
ten story of Iifes ragged edge, full
er of pathos and homely sentiment
than the usual Offices of the court
room afford.
Elizabeth and James Johnson, ia.
Their and mother, appeared before
Judge Charles Smith in the juvenile
court and asked the state TO take
care Of their children. Woven into
the proceedings was a tale of misfor-
tune and adversely which when finish
ed resulted in the commitment OF
two little boys to the state school
at Sparta.
Side by side on the witness stand
sat husband and wife. Each had an
infant. One was two years old and
the other six months. Standing with
his face against the wall and crying,
was the eldest of the family, John.
He is eight years old.
When Judge Smith sanctioned the
commitment, John and Charles were
cut loose for all time from parental
contact
Mrs. Johnson has been married
twice. To her present husband, James
Johnson, she has been welded five
years, and their union has been i'll
favored. She has now four children,
is a prospective mother, and one child
has been buried. One is in a state in
stitute in Minnesota, and the commit
| ment Of two recently leaves only
six-months old baby in the Iuckless
, household.
The Johnsons are form Grand Rap
ids, Mimi, where Mrs. Johnson owns
small farm, uncleaned and heavily en-
numbered. Six years ago the first
husband, died and "Jim," the hired
man, began suit for the woman's hand
and won it. They were married
Facing one of the most difficult
! problems of existence, the couple ap-
peared the other day and asked to
be relieved Of responsibility of the
care Of their children.
You both made up your minds that
you didn't want these children any
more" shouted Attorney D. z. Rob
erts, and you decided to dump them
on the state"
The woman confessed affection for
the man, and defended him
You must understand that you viii
never see your children again" said
Judge Smith
oh, your honor, can't I ever get
them back again." moaned Mrs. john
son.
No; they will go to Sparta to be
educated, and afterward they WI be
adopted by some reputable family.
They are lost to you forever" said
the court, as he made the commit
ment.

his shoulder, followed by a dog, hove

BY the failure of the Tngleside A. C.
team to put in their appearance at the
East Chicago park last Sunday after
noon a large crowd of football fans
were disappointed. The nonappearance
of the Inglesides is thought to be due
to the fact that they suffered a &c to
defeat at the hands of the East Chi

and were in fear OF receiving another
