and spectacular chapter in the his

The hazardous and gruelling flight
was his third attempt. He left

While Governor Silzer sits quietly
on the sidelines, either at his home
In Metuchen, at the. State House,
Trenton. or at his office in the Perth
Amboy Trust Company here, the pol
iticians are busy furthering his
boom for the nomination of presi-
dent. The governor himself Is TAX
ing no active personal part in the
efforts being made to nominate him
for the highest Office in the land. but
parts says that betting Is six to one
in his favor. s
Each day seems to bring the gov-
ernor more into the running and
never a minute goes by but what
some effort is made by those at his
headquarters on the third floor of
the Waldorf Astoria to bring his
name into the lime light. AS the
n hot 40 =
candidates Silzer's name is more
prominently mentioned as presiden-
tial timber and there is a strong be-
lief at the Silzer headquarters that
his chances of obtaining the nomina-
ton are greater, than ever.
According to latest reports from
the convention Silzer is not only sure
of the twenty-eight New Jersey
votes, but when the first ballot is
cast his quota will be considerably
more than this number. 1t Is said
that Illinois will give Silzer ten votes
on the first ballot with more to fol-
low, while Pennsylvania will cast
one or more votes for the New Jer-
sey governor, and If a deadlock de-
velops will increase this number.
Silzer at the present time Is not as
strong as candidates go, but he is
looked upon with deep Interest from
all sections of the country and 1t is
the opinion of his boosters that by
the end of the week he will hold a
place in the attention OF the dele
gates that will be much stronger
than at the present time. There is
rumor at the Silzer headquarters
that some of the states with un-
pledged delegates may swing to Sill
ger as early as the first ballot. 1t is
generally agreed that 1t is impossible
to estimate the strength of any cam
didate of the dark horse" variety
until after balloting has begun or a
deadlock occurred.

La COlnisii6n Hlpica y los
hip0drOmos

3
Hemos sabido que los seilores MEM
bros de la Comisi6n TIipica Insular es-
tan considerando la manera como han
de funcionar ell hip6dromo de Quintana
Racing Company y ell de Rexach Ra-
cling Company. Y ese efecto Sc tiene
el proposito de que ambas corporac1o-
nes Sc pongan de acuerdo y funcionen
con turnos semanales.
Desde luego que la Rexach Racing
Corporation, que acaba de hacer un gas
TO enorme, para dotar San Juan de
un gran hip6dromo, no entrara por tai
turno, pues asi los beneficios no cubrl-
ran los intereses del capital invertido
Quintana Racing Company, quizas pue-
da avenirse al entendido, pues va Sc
ha resarcido de todos sus gastos duran
te el tempo quo ha estado sola explo-
tando Ell negocio.
4 La Conisi6n Hipica aducira que con
el 1870 que percibe de las entradas del
Qnintana esta cubriendo actualmente
todos sils gastos de enpleados, ETC., pc
ro 81 trabajan los dos hipodromos
la vez, tendra que dup4icar Ell numero
de empleados y quizas no podra cubr1r
Ell gasto con Ell ingreso del 1870 de am
hos h:podromos. Y este es un grave
error. La competencia siempre atrae
mayor numero de jngadores y de GU
riosos a las carreras, las bancas, los
pool ETC.; y ha quedado probado que
es asi cuando funcionaban ell hipodro-
mo de la 20 ell Quintana. De modo
que no debe haber tenor alguno
que ambos hip6dromos trabajen stimuli
taneamente.
Ahora bien; en- Ell case de que sc efec
tuara Ell entendido y Sc decretara la
exploitation alterna, Ia Comision Hlpi-
ca debe nombrar un personal especial
para cada hipodromo v que Ell pago de
los empleados sea por dia de carreras,
no por mensualidades. De ese n1odo Sc
tendria personal familiarizado con ca
da hipodromo Y ademas Sc haria Ell
immense bien de que un mayor ntlmero
de padres de fanilias pudiera deven-
gar algnn sueldo. Esto es equitativo.
Y no SO perjudica nadie, pues, salvo
raras excepciones, los que tienen ahora
posiciones en- ell hip6dromo del Quin-
tana Racing Company, los que son nom
brados por la Comision Hipica, casi to-
og,-decimos.--es -estan tambien emplea-
dos Ell ell comercio, en- corporaciones
en- oficinas del Gobierno; es decir, que
estan gozando de los beneticios de dos
empieos a la vez.
rs de esperarse, pues, que los seiio-
res de la Comision Hipica atiendan es-
tas indicaciones y procedan en- justi-
cia, dando OCCASION para que nn mayor
niirnero de personals puedan vivlr de-
vengando alg1n sueldo lario, auri-
que no sea muy grande, antes que solo
vivian holgadamente unos pocos que 60
zan tambien de otros sueldos.

Iky8k Of the Amazons
Older Than Greek Fable

The Amazons are best known from
Grecian mythology. The origin Of the
myth, however. is said to antedate
sven the heroic age Of Grecian fable
and to come from Asia Minor.
Ear back in antiquity these female
warriors are said to have come from
the shores OF the Caspian sea and, con-
Quering Asia Minor, to have built the
cities OF Ephesus, Smyrna, Myrina and
Kyme. says the Detroit News. The
worship Of their Titanic queen, sort
Of queen bee," was carried on with
barbaric ceremonies, even to the time
Of authentic Greek history.
Always known as MA" this arch
priestess was said to be served by
5000 minor priestesses and by eunuchs
without number.
When the Spaniards and Portuguese
discovered and settled the east coast
Of South America they encountered on
every hand, from the Gulf of Mexico to
Paraguay, an Indian legend Of re-
doubtable tribe of female warriors who
had their home somewhere along the
banks Of that river, the Amazon, which
now bears their name-no doubt given
them by the European settlers, who
were familiar with the Amazons Of an
dent fable.

German Tried Suicide
Vainly in Various Ways

A young man with the talent of
cat for remaining alive was tried in
Hamburg, Germany. for attempted
murder and suicide.
At twenty-one he had found his mar
riage a failure and he determined to
end his life. Accordingly he threw
himself in front Of an underground
train. which passed over him without
hurting even hair Of his head.
He then went home and shot his
wife. He. saw the blood gush from
her head, pointed the revolver at his
own forehead and pulled the trigger.
The revolver did not go OF, and he
therefore went out Of the room, which
was on the fifth floor Of house, threw
himself over the balustrade, and land
ed, safe and sound. II little breath
less, on the ground floor.
He was able to go on foot to the
police station with the policeman who
just at that moment had arrived to
arrest him.
His wife's wound proved merely
skin deep, and the Hamburg court,
which was impressed by the story Of
his vitality, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer. let him of with three months
Imprisonment for carrying firearms
without license.

Shakespeare House Is
Restored With Stucco

Restoration of a building at STRAIT
ford-on-Avon, recently carried out by
the new owners, will preserve struc-
ture closely Identified with the life Of
William Shakespeare, according to
writer in Concrete. The author points
out that the enterprise answers in
way question asked by Shakespeare
in one of his plays, when he inquiries
as to what evil endure against the
tooth of time and razure Of oblivion"
"Judith Shakespeare, daughter Of
William Shakespeare and Anne
Hathaway. after her marriage to
Thomas Quincy. winter, lived for
thirty-six years in house at 1 High
street, Stratford-on-Avon," says the
article in Concrete. ''This house was
an Elizabethan dwelling, half-tim-
bered, with overhung caves and gables
and the usual face of oak and plaster.
early in the last century an at
tempt was made to restore 1t but
the result was very unsatisfactory. 1t
was recently rescued from its state
Of conspicuous ugliness by w. a.
Smith & Son, book sellers, and the
present tenants of the premises. The
restoration was carried out with port
land cement stucco. with remarkably
pleasing results.
1.-THE house of Judith Shakespeare
is owned by the Stratford-on-Avon cor
poration, and forms part of the Guild
estate. Half of the rent of the build
ing goes to the King Edward school,
as 1t did in the days when Shake
speare was a schoolboy there"
