SCANDAL AT ASCOT
Jockey Lynch Refused to Pull
Sinner Simon.
THREE TURFMEN RULED OFF
P. J. Gorman, J. Costcn and Gerald
, Evans Are Caught Red-Handed
by Judge Hamilton Stood
to Win $3125.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 10. The
judges at'Ascot today handed out a rul
ing that -will serve to make owners very
careful about asking jockeys to "place"
horses In races for the benefit of jsome
hooks. P. J. Gorman, part owner In a
stable now racing at Ascot: Gerald Ev
ans, a bookmaker, and J. Costen, better
known around racetracks as "Diamond
Joe." were ruled oft pendlhg further in
vestigation of charges made "by Jockey
3d". Lynch. Lynch sent for Judge Hamil
ton before the race In -which he was to
ride Sinner Simon last Tuesday and told
the Judge that Gorman had approached
him -with an offer of $100 If he would keep
Sinner Simon from finishing "in the
money."
Judge Hamilton instructed Lynch to say
nothing, but to ride the horse to the best
of his ability. In the meantime Evans
book was laying top prices against Sin
ner Simon and taking all the money of
fered. Sinner Simon won, and the book,
whose sheet was sent for by the Judges,
showed that whereas It had expected to
win JS125 by keeping Sinner Simon out of
the money, it really lost $2192 on account
of the horse's victory. Xelther Bauer,
Gorman's partner, nor Trainer Davis are
Implicated In the alleged crookedness.

BRIDEGROOM EARNED MONEY
Went Into Father's Mills as Work
man and Was Promoted.
New Tork Herald.
There'' Is food for thought in the story
of the marriage, at Pittsfleld. Mass.. on
Thursday of "Wlnthrop Murray Crane, Jr..
son of United States Senator Crane, and
Miss Ethel G. Baton. The youthful couple
start out on their matrimonial career
with a goodly fortune of SL000.O00. given
to them by the -wealthy Senator from
Massachusetts, but this gift, which will
make their life's pathway an easy one,
is the reward of the bridegroom's merit
and should be thoughtfully and carefully
considered by all American youths, wheth
er tney nave weaitny parents or nor.
It is the custom to deride the sons of
wealthy. parents and to gibe at their sup
posed idleness and want of self-reliance
and character. But young- Mr. Crane'e
career thus far. which has been and Is be
ing repeated all over the United States,
goes to show how unfounded and unjust.
as a rule, are these Jests and this criti
cism. While at Tale Mr. Crane was a mem
ber of the Skull and Bones, one of the
most fashionable of the Yale secret fra
ternities, ana had every advantage mat
his father's large means could give him.
He figured in the fashionable society of
New Haven, and It was supposed there
that after graduating be would lead a life
of leisure. He did not neglect his studies,
however, and his college career was a
creditable one.
"When, after graduation, he returned to
the paternal mansion, at Dalton, Mass.,
his father advised with him as to his
choice of a career. The family fortune
comes from the Crane writing paper
manufacturing mills, and the youth ex
pressed a desire to go into the mills as
workman and learn the business from
the ground up. He was given the oppor
tunity, and. donning overalls, began as
an ordinary workman and labored with
his fellow workmen for some time and
until he had mastered all the details.
When he bad, through his own merit
and ability, gradually advanced to a po
sition of. responsibility, and fell In love,
he still pursued bis work, until at his
marriage, on Thursday, he was rewarded
by the substantial gift, as told above, of
51.0W.O00.
It is this American spirit which has the
effect of preventing any rapid growth of
an idle leisure element in tnis country.
Cornelius Vanderbllt. as is well known,
has for some years past been studying,
and studying practically, the details of
locomotive construction, and certain of
his inventions are In use today.
These are only a few of the many in
stances of young Americans of wealth and
position who have willingly chosen to
democratically learn a trade or business
and to begin at the first details. It would
astonish the community If a list could be
complied of the young Americans who
dally labor In offices, factories or shops
when It would seem there is no real ne
cessity for their so doing.
This is the reason why American host
esses complain of a scarcity of young
and especially of dancing men at their
entertainments, and also why so many el
lgible'and charming debutantes are fre
quently left partner! ess at the balls and
dances of the Winter season when the
hour for the cotillion usually a late one
arrives. There are not enough young men
who are men of leisure and who can
dance all night and go to their offices
the next morning for work to go around
So long as this American spirit of work
prevails, so long will America's leisure
element of young men Increase slowly.
Life Is still serious here, and the profes
sional Idler Is still in the minority In so
ciety.
The Offering of Port Arthur.
Japanese Officer in Leslie's Monthly.
In his dreamlngs the soldier of Nip
pon sees the restless spirits of these
patriots still hovering- over Port Ar
thur in company with a number of
other men who' had fallen before Port
Arthur in taking- it from the Chinese.
These unhappy spirits In whoso ex-
lstence we of the far East believe quite
as deeply as the Christian believes in
the Immortality of the soul can never
be persuaded to enter into a realm of
peace until the one aim and end for
which they have shaken away one ex
pression of their earthly life is made
perfect. For the soldier of Nippon td
take Port Arthur over again. Is, there
fore more than a signal victory; it is
fulfilling his sacred duty, so to speak.
not only to his country, to tho cause
of the permanent peace of the far East,
but as wel to the eternal peace of
their heroic dead. Critics from abroad
have said of our soldiers that they are
a silent army. Tho utter absence of
the spectacular and the stagy in the
action of our fighting- men impressed
them. There is, however, one gallery
to which our men before Port Arthur
are playing-, and the gallery Is filled
with the saintly shades of their fath
ers. Of their brother comrades who
have passed into the unknown before
them, that our country's honor might
be stainless. In Nippon we have many
kinds of incense which we burn be
fore the mortuary tablets of our dead.
But to plant the sun-round flag- once
again upon the forts of Port Arthur Is,
as the Nippon soldier looks at it, to
offer to the heroic dead a flower, the
fragrance of which no Incense' of heav
en can equal.

If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the
game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy
ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reason
able amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the
health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's
improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches,
etc. It is all-important, however, in selecting a laxative, to
choose one ot known quality and excellence, like the ever pleas
ant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effect
ually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after
effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs,
simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without
griping, irritating, or debilitating the internal organs in anyway,
as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature.
As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu
facture of Syrup of Figs are" known to physicians to act most
beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their
general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con
sidering in making purchases.
It is because of. the fact that SYRDP OF FIGS
is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by
physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well
informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain
quality pr inferior reputation. Every family should have a
bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a
laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the
byrup of Figs is for sale m bottles
all reputable druggists and that full name of the
California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on
of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle.
