YOUR MONEY WORKS WHILE YOU SLEEP
Our famous corps of track sharks are up at break of day, "clocking" the horses In their morning tryouts, and while you
sleep they spot the winners that bring you steady income. Our method puts you on a level with the most successful
plungers of the American turf We operate for you tor 25 per cent of weekly earnings. We win only when you win.
Results obtained really "beyond dreams of avarice." 1
Again we scored heavily for all our clients last month. Again we landed the money and landed it In chunks. Three years
of organization, with the best facilities that money and brains can procure to make our service of picking and backing win
ners at the horse races the most accurate and profitable in the land, has had its natural sequence, and each week our show
ing demonstrates a good profit for every client. .

Here is a complete statement; showing the result of a $10 play on each horse given in our "Discretionary Series" during
October. (Note: A capital to begin with of $ 50 is required by us, as a matter of conservatism, to make a $10 play on each
horse that is considered by us a good betting proposition.)

The above showing Is no improvement over that of September, and is not remarkabie, since we have excelled it time and
again during the past three years of uninterrupted operations. Good as it is, however, we are confident we will make it
"look sick" by comparison with the showing we are going to make at the meeting of loo days which begins at New Or
leans this month
. WE PICK THE WHsTERS
The system we employ to locate winners is identlcnl with that used bv "Pittsburg Phil," John k. Drake, John Gates,
W Langdon, Joe Yeager, and other famous plungers who win hundreds of thousands on the tun every year, and it proves
just as successful,
We gather our information of prospective winners through a force of expert horsemen who hold a watch on the horses
in their early.morning trials, and in that way learn when they are ready to win. '
The money that is played Into the game by persistent losers, such as the large mass of uninformed players are bound
to be, goes into the pockets of the big operators, of which the Maxim & Gay Co , repiesentinga large clientele, stands at
the head The work of the Maxim & Uay Co., is to place the general public upon a level with the winning plungers, and
our success in this accomplishment has made us famous on two continents.
We do business oniy on the great racetracks of the U S. We number among our clients some of the best known
sportsmen, financiers and merchants in the country. Investment on the turf is now deemed as legtimate as any other high
class form of speculation. The present high standard to which racing has been brought, and the absolutely good faith in
which turf affairs ate conducted under the auspices of the Jockey Club in the East, and the Western Jockey Club in the
West, has inspired millionairs, capitalists and business men alf over the country with as much confidence in racing as In the
stock, grain and cotton markets, and this is one reason why transactions in the betting rings now rival in magnituae those of
the stock, ' cotton and giain exchanges.
Another reason for the rapid growth of turf speculation In popular farvor, Is the rapidity with which all transactions are
wound up. The speculator makes his Investment at the racetrack in the afternoon through us and receives a notification by
mail, iii a letter guaranteed to bear a postmark earlier than the race Is run, of just what horses are to be backed for his account.
By the next mail he is informed of the result of the day's operations, and he learns quickly just where he stands At the
end of each week he recives a complete statement of the acconnt with the money order for his profits, less 25 per cent,
which we deduct as our fee.
This gives a wholesome tone to legitimate turf speculation which cannot be found In the more or less Involved trans
actions of the big exchanges, and this is why turfmen live more comfortably and live longer than do men whose involved
transactions are on their minds, day and night, for weeks and sometimes months at a stretch .
Our Client Won a Million Dollar.
As it Is well known that our clients have collectively won as much as a million dollars at a single race meeting, it Is
sometimes asked: "Why do notMaxim and Gay simplysit down and back their own selections instead.of running a consid
erable clerical force and spending large sums in advertising In newspapers throughout the country "
The answer Is simpleenough if one stops to consider ihe situation. Maxim & Gay, by dint of ability, energy, organl.
lation, capital and advertising, have secured an enormous clientele, which means the command of immense capital. If we
can pick winners for this immense number of Investors, our profits are larger than if we played our own money only, for on
a basis of 25 per cent, of winnings, which we charge for information and commission, one man out of every four of our cus
tomers is practically betting for us. The proof that this plan works for the benefit of the public as well is that they win
three weeks out of four and our books show that no customer who stuck to us for two months ever failed to get well ahead
of the game, while not afew of those who now own winning stables of race horses and who are cutting an important figure
on the turf, began the game as mere novices, playing our selections through us.
The principle upon which we operate is such that we must of necessity do the best we can for you. Our Income, as
pointed out, is derived solely from a percentage of the winnings of ournllents, and if we cannot make yov win, our entire
income is cut off. That we have been successful in making our clients win, is amply proven by the fact that we have pros
pered for upward of three years, while imitators, pursuing more economical and lose business like methods have gone under
by the score. Noting the success that was being achieved by Maxim & Gay, scores of "get-rich-quick" operators tried to
break into the field successfully occupied by the older and more responsible firm, but it did not tak the Press and public long
to discriminate between the legitimate and the illegitimate, and as a result we have continued to flourish uninterruptedly,
while in the ranks of our rivals there have been scores of enterprises initiated, only to end failure.
A Few of Hundreds of Recent Endersments of the Press.
CINCINNATI COMMERCIAL-TRIBUNE, March 1,
x I903.
Maxim & Gay, who have been so-successful tn selecting winners at
the New Orleans races, are in a class by themselves and have no relation
In their system of operation to the "get-rich-quick" schemes that have
recently gone to pieces disastrously to those who patronized them. Max
im & Gay do not guarantee their clients profits nnr against tosses, but
merely play the money of their subscribers and deduct a fixed percentage
.from winnings for placing the commissions. This point Is made clear in
all their announcements. What they guarantee to do Is to confidentially
handle all money forwarded them and place it on the races just as If it
were theirown. They have in their emplo as "dockers" the most ex
pert judges of track work In the country, and there Is not a horse at the
New Orleans meeting that they have not a record of. The information
collected in this way Is used to the benefit of their subscribers, and its re
liable character is attested by the numerous winners they have picked
In the past two week,
Maxim & Gay are Ihe pioneers In the line of Investment or speculation;
1riey have been established three years; thy conduct their business on
straight forward business lines; their methods have been thoroughly In
vestigated and are entirely different from those pursued by the "get-rlch- -quick
schemes, so-called", which were but recently closed by the authori
ties, The transactions of Maxim & Gay are legal in every sense, and
they do exactly what they advertise to do.that is play money of their sub
scribers on the horses they judge will win. and they usually win. Prompt
and proper acronntlnt; is made of the result, but they guarantee no fixed
profits, though those who have continuously patronized them have not
been losers. -
ST. PAUL DISPATCH. February 28, 1903.
An Investigation of the methods of the Maxim & Gay Co. shows
them to be deducting their business on straightforward business lines.
They have been established nearly three years. They do not guaran
tee clients profits or agalnat loss, but merely place tubstrloers' money
on judgment of experts, charging a fee for Information and deduct a
fixed percentage from winnings for placing the commissions. They are
the pioneers In this Una of investments or speculation.
N.Y. MORNING TELE C I- H, February 23, I902.
Since the Incorporation of the Maxim &Gay Co , the casual racegoer
can possess himself ot as much if not more knowledge of the comparltive
merits of tfce horses, and their chances of success, as the "regular," who
burns the midnight oil studying from the charts. He can secure through
this comoany, which Is Incorporated under the laws of New York State
the expert knowledge and expert judgment of an experienced combina
tion of horsemen whose duty it is to find out fr him such things concern
ing the horses as he could not possible find out for himself, unless he de
voted his entire lime and attention to the business. Even then, to do as
well, he would have to possess a peculiar talent and be especially fitted
by experience and natural ability.
CINCINNATI TIMES STAR, March- 2, 19O3.
The Maxim & Gay Company, well-known purveyors of turf infor
mation, should not be confounded with "get-rlchqulck" turf investment
or concerns of similar characters. They have been established nearly
three years. They place subscribers' money on judgment of their ex
perts, and deduct a fixed percentage from winnings for placing the com
missions. They are the Napoleons In this line of Investment or specu
lation.
MEMPHIS EVENING .SCIMITAR, March 2, I903.
The advertisements that appear from time to time in the columns of var
ious newspapt-rs with reference 'o the turf plan of Maxim & Gay Com
pany tell a story entirely different from the exploits of the defunct "get
-rich-quick" concerns.
The Maxim & Gay Company transact business thoroughly and
solely on business principles.
The grea'est race meeting in the history of the South begins at New Orleans within a fortnight. In magnitude it will
eclipse ail other turf gatherings of the past. The Crescent City Jockey Cmb knows this to be a banner year and has pre.
pared for it So have we. If there are more horses at the New Orleans racetrack than ever gathered there before, we have
more expert "dockers" and handicappers than we ever employed at any other meeting. They cannot make the game too
big for us to handle. We move 'with the times. , , ,
If you want to get aboard our discretioi ary series, at New Orleans, In which we play daily those and only those horses'
we think Al beting propositions, with the privilege of not playing any horses at all on days when we consider conditions
unpropltious, fill out the following blank and forward your remmittance to us at New Orleans as soon as you can. Play will
be begun on the first day of the meeting, if your money reaches us in time; otherwise, we will begin play the first day it
reaches us after the meeting has began. Money should be be sent by bank draft, express money order, or currency In regis
tered letter. Uncertified checks are not accepted. " . ' .

Why the Roman Nobility Refnaea t
Recognize the Roapiglioala.
Princess Rosplgllosl of Rome, former,
ly Mrs. Frederick Hale Parkhurst of
Bangor,, Me., who has Just obtained a
postponement of her matrimonial case
now pending before the Vatican con
gregational council. Is endeavoring to
obtain more documentary evidence
from America proving that her mar
riage with Mr. Parkhurst was null and
void.
The case Is one of the most famous
which have ever come before the Ro
man church, Involving a large sum of
money, the ownership of several land
ed estates, one of the most ancient ti
tles in Rome and the good standing of
one of the most noted families in Italy,
a family which gave a pope to the
church in the person of Clement X.
Others concerned in the outcome of
the trial are the princess' daughter,
A "POWER IN RUSSIA. I public favorite.
A,
PRINCESS ROSPIOLIOSL
born Inst year; Siguor Cnmllle Rosplg
llosi, head of the pope's noble gunrd,
and his son, who married MIssBronson
of New York. The princess has been
legally married according to the laws
of Italy, but the ladies of high Roman
society have declined to receive her on
the ground that her marriage has not
yet been recognized by the church.
Princess Ilospigllosi, when she was
Miss Marie Jennings Reld, was mar
ried to Colonel Frederick II. Parkhurst
of Bangor, Me. She was a Catholic
and he a Protestant The princess and
her lawyers set up the claim that, as
ber first husband was nerer baptized,
the marriage was Invalid according to
the laws of the Catholic church.
In 1S08 the Parkhnrsts were divorced,
and In 1901 Mrs. Parkhurst was mar
ried in Rome to Prince Joseph Rosplg
liosi, whom she first met at Bar Har
bor. The eremony was a civil one,
and from the first the Catholic church
refused to recognize It, the laws of the
church forbidding the marriage of di
vorced persons. The church authori
ties even went so far Ss to prohibit a
slater of a Catholic order from attend
ing the princess as a nurse.
Princess Rospigllosl is a niece of
General di Cesnola, director of the
Metropolitan museum, New York, and
a granddaughter of Samuel Charles
Reld, who commanded the American
privateer General Armstrong at the
battle of Fayal in the war of 1812. On
the mother's side she Is descended
from the Rowan family of Kentucky,
her grandfather having been minister
to Italy. She is a statuesque blond,
golden haired, blue eyed and beautiful
and is a woman of many accomplishments.

M. DE WITTE, .NEW PRESIDENT OF
THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS.
Born of Humble Parentage, He Won
Hla Way to the Top Deaplte Blttei
Opposition Flrat Attracted Atten
tion During- the War With Turkey,
Bergius Yulevich de Wltte, who was
recently promoted from minister of
finance to president of the czar's com- j
tplttee of ministers, thus became the,
actual premier of Russia and the first
Han in the empire after the czar.
The career of the new premier baa
been a remarkable one. Born of bum
ble parentage and without social posi
tion, he has made himself the second
man in the empire by sheer force of
merit and in the face of most deter
mined opposition on the' part of the
strongest party In Russia. This opposi
tion included M. de Plehve, the reac
tionary minister of the Interior, on the
one hand, and on the other the chief
procurator of the holy synod. It has
been reported that scenes of extraordi
nary bitterness have occurred in the
council chamber. The reactionaries de
nounced De, Witte as a socialist and a
revolutionary because he insisted that
Russia must cease lagging betilnd la
the race of civilization and progress.
M. de Wltte Is a native of Tiflls and
on his father's side comes of Dutmh
stock. He Is fifty-four years of age,
and nearly half of his life was passed
In obscurity. After spending several
years at the University of Odessa he
obtained a post in the state railway
department, becoming an assistant sta
tion master and bookkeeper at an In
significant station.
He first attracted attention during
the war with Turkey. His chiefs in
the railway department completely lost
their heads under the strain of trans
porting troops to the front. This gave
De Wltte his chance, and he quietly
did the work, planning and carrying
out, to the great satisfaction of the
war department, various Bchemes for
moving the Russian army into Turkey.
When the wnr was at end his reputa
tion had been made. Since that time
his rise lias been rapid.
He was summoned to St. Petersburg
In 1870 to take part in the work of the
great railway commission, and it was
he who drev up the report of that
commission. He was then appointed
head of the department of exploitation
of the southwestern railways and later
codified the statutes governing all Rus-

Maude Adams, Who la to Reappear

Miss Maude- Adams, the talented
actress, who is to return to the stage
after a year's absence spent in rest
and study, will make her reappearance
in a new pluy soon to be produced in
Syracuse under the management of
Charles Frohman.
Maude Adams has attained an ex
traordinary eminence in her profession
considering her years. There is prob
ably no other Instance in the history
of the stage where an actor or actress
has achieved such success and made
so great a reputation for true artistic
work while still in the twenties.
Her first appearance on the stage
was made when she was scarcely more

slan lines. Ten years thereafter he
was appointed director of the depart
ment of railways and made president
of the tariff commission.
In 1892 M. de Wltte was made min
ister of finance. Four years later he
was appointed secretary of state to the
czar and in 181)9 was made actuul
privy councilor By many he was
even then considered the reul ruler of
Russia, and he was aptly termed the
business manager of the empire, since
he handled at least a billion dollars
yearly, collecting it from countless
sources and distributing it at bis dis
cretion for the needs of the different
parts of the vast territory of the czar
in Europe and Asia.
For years he has been one of the
world's greatest bankers. Immediate
ly after he became head of the finances
of the empire M. de Wltte began the
work of completely reorganizing thorn.
He declared that the ever recurring
deficit was Intolerable, and he proceed
ed first to reform the monetary sys
tem, then to reorganize the system of
taxation and then to negotiate the
commercial treaties by which Russia's
foreign trade was greatly increased.
He encouraged the introduction of for
eign capital, 'did everything possible
to establish new enterprises and im
ported machinery where the Russians
were not able to make it themselves.
All this M. de Wltte is said to have
Cone ably, honestly and forcefully for
his master, the czar. By his own abili
ty he has acquired his gre.t power and
may truly be termed a self made man.
He bas been granted many distinctions
in the various ordors of Russian
knighthood and has received decora
tions and' appointments in numerous
foreign orders of merit
In some quarters It is rumored that
M. de Wltte's appointment as president
of the council was not wholly a promo
tion, as It Is said that the czar declined
his request to be allowed to continue at
the head of the ministry of finance.
The position of president of the coun
cil is one of great honor, but M. de
1 Wltte's future Influence is regarded as
problematical, arid his promotion Is con
sidered al a triumph for the De Plehve
partisans. "We have kicked Scrglua

of trouble with the child's part.
Three days before the opening night
not a child had been found to play the
part. Mrs. Gertrude Hart, a member
of the company, said, "Let Maude go

Maude learned the part of Little
Fritz In an hour. She thought acting
great fun. In fact it was so much fun
that she quite forgot herself and lean
