Pink Star, the longest priced horse in the rare today won he thirty-third Kenturk derby, one atid a quarter miles, by two lengths trom Zal, with Oyelando In third posi tion, a length and a half away. The Tore was run over a track almost fet lock deep in mud and the time, 2:12 3-. was the slowest In the history of the track. The race furnished bh unusually open betting proposition, due largely to the "heavy track, which caused the with drawal shortly before the race of Arclte, a. colt which has been an over whelming favorite in tne future books. Boxara and Holdfast were also scratched, leaving a -field of six with Red Gauntlet Installed as favorite at 3 to 2, a heavy play on Ovelando and Wool Sandals, each held at 3 to 1. Zal at 8 to 1 had some little support, but Orland Wick at 10 to 1. and Pink Star at 15 to 1 were virtually over looked. In some books as good as 20 to 1 was laid against the winner, who closed at 12 to 1 on the strength of a little play by sharpshooters. Winner Starts as Tailender. The field was sent away to a good start. Wool Sandals Jumped into the lead, but relinquished It to Zal. Bo land on Zal. with Wool Sandals and Ovelando alternating in second place, set a stiff pace for the first six fur longs, considering the condition of the track. Red Gauntlet and Orland Wick seesawed along behind and trailing six lengths in the rear ran Pink Star. By the time the mile was reached Zal had all except Pink Star, who had moved up to fourth place.

BLOCK SIGNAL FAULTS Present System Needless Labor to Eye, Memory and Attention. , tGeorse M. Stratton in the Centuryl The present system of block signals at night is ill-adapted not to the eye alone; it gives needless labor to the memory and the attention. It requires the engineer, among the innumerable lights than line his track, to distinguish those which are to guide him. from those' that are of no significance to him at all. Anyone who has ridden in the cab of an express locomotive dur ing its frantic course by night, and seen- the engineer, as by a miracle, pick out his "white" signal amid a swurm of nearby city lights of a hue identical with the one that must direct hjm; seen him, also.' with an almost mysterious confidence rush past count less red and green lights, knowing that they were not for him. but were switch-lights, or lanterns guarding the rear of some neighboring train, or were signals for "slow" trains, for cross overs, and a host of things besides as one dashes recklessly through this niasie of colored lights. Tie can no longer wonder that signals are occa sionally misread or unobserved. He can only marvel that a night express ever reaches Its goal in safety. Added, 'hen. to tne perils due to the defects of the eye, both normal and ab normal, the present block signals have thifc serious fault; they do not stand out distinct and apart from numberless other lights that suddenly appear to the engineer, but to which he is ex pected to give 'no heed. WOMEN, DUTY, HAPPINESS A Lay Sermon Preaching the Nobil ity of Service. Harper's. "I wonder," said an Oxford professor one day, "if American women are happier, in the end, than Englishwomen." And when he was questioned as to why he should expect it, he said that wherever he went he met American women intent upon self-fulfilment, self-development; they were studying philosophy in Ger many, cathedrals in France, painting in Italy: they were journeying over the world, seeking enlargement of the self; whereas the Englishwoman accepted her given place in life, did the task that came to hand, and talked mainly of duty. He was uncertain whether, in the end, the sum of the new experiment was greater liappiness. That, however, is hardly the question to ask. The real question is whether the sum is fuller consciousness or not. The stun! of our sorrows, of our studies, of our experience, must be trans lated into consciousness before it becomes power. Which material translated be comes the best consciousness is again the matter to decide. Bernard Shaw ia partic ularly severe upon self-sacrlftcers. He says Marie Bashklrtseff was a source of delight to every one around her "by the mere exhilaration and hope-giving atmos phere of her willfulness." The self-sacri ficer. he says, "Is always a drag, a re sponsibility, a reproach, an everlasting and unnatural trouble with whom no really strong soul can live." Mr. Shaw is always giving cold plunges by way of ton ic, and what he sayB. wKty and crystal line and striking as It is, needs a good deal of shaking down and looking over be fore we finally swallow it. The type of duty-driven, self-sacrificing person to whom Mr. Shaw refers is well known. There are plenty of them in the world, and they are usually not always of the feminine gender. They fritter Sway their lives, doing little things for other people, encouraging those about them in small self-indulgences and lazy pettiness. But Is it self-sacrifice, or Is it a kind of timidity and shrinking that makes them adopt these tactics? The mother who waits upon her child, who. as we Ameri cans say. "spoils" her child, does so be cause It Is infinitely easier to govern one self in little things, to exert oneself for small services, and to accept small sacri fices than it is to demand the highest ideal from those arouiyj us. It requires more strength of purpose to demand attentions, civilities and service from one subordi nate than to forego them. There Is noth ing so easy to be. nothing that requires less moral stamina and purpose, than a household drudge or a person used br others. Instead of a person with objects, interests, pursuits and definite intentions. On the whole, when we look around and see the helpless and useless people, they are nearly all folk who, at some time or other, had the excuse of self-sacrifice. They are the women who did not go to college because mother would have been lonely; or the wives who have no re sources or Interests because they waited on their children all day and entertained their husbands every evening. In the end. it is true that it is the self-helpers who can help others; those who would not give of their oil, but industriously burned their lights. IJc-wevpr. there l. a danger in self-development. It is the danger of forgettina thnt one is. after all. but a little screw in a big machine, and that whatever purpose the big machine serves, at any rate it was not created for our self-furtherance. If one recklessly goes in for self develop ment, it must always be with an end in view, and that end must be helping oth ers. There is nothing, after all. Jhe world needs quite so much as kindness; and if in the cause of self-development we choose to forego the minor services and haphazard kindnesses, it must really be with the larger service and the greater help in view. Intellectual development may be taken in the same spirit as sanc tiflc atlon: "For their ,sakes r sanctified myself." A modern essayist, in a recent very in teresting hook upon death, tells us that when he thought himself dying and tried to go over his life, the thing that dis tressed him most was remembering that once when he was writing he turned away his sifter who came to him with some papers for criticism. It reminds one of Trilby, who, when she was dying, could not forget the little brother whom she re fused to take with her to'the Bois. and she kept seeing htm again as he stood in the doorway crying after her. The moral to be drawn ceems to be that we must react with a certain dgreee of caution. We mrst pursue self-development with sense alert not to meet the essential services, the vital kindnesses, that be strew the way. And when we are too lazy to command our children, or too weak to demand the best of strength and of serv ive In others, we ought not to call our qualities "self-sacrifices." In the end we know how true is the little prayer of our energetic poet: "Help me to need no aid of nen. That I may help such men as need." For the yeBr ending June 30. too, the export of eopra (dried cocoanut meat from the Fh:Mpr!ne Islands, amounted to 14...K"1.013 pounds, of which France took NJi.3:i8..t.M pounds, or about 61 per cent. The next nSost important buyers were Spain and Germany. L IS AFOOT Harrahy Suit Will Expose Graft Among Oarsmen. RETALIATION ON ACCUSERS Chargo That Harrahy Spent Funds Illegally In Entertaining Port land Crew Attributed by Him to Spite. WORCESTER, Mass., April 30. (Spe- cial Correspondence.) As those in the . rihiw in v orcesier aquHiic hie buc some weeks ago, the scandal arising from the entertainment of the Portland, Or., oarsmen at the National regatta here test August has got Into the courts. , Deputy Sheriff James Hunt today served paper? on Thomas J. Harrahy. a promi nent New England sportsman whose home is in this city, in a suit for $1000 brought against him by the Wachnsett Boat Club Association. He was president of the association in 1906. The attorneys for the club are John E. Sullivan and John Henry Meagher, the latter a de feated candidate for president of the club and charged by Mr. Harrahy with acting purely out of spite In the matter, and further with being present when every cent spent on the entertainment of the Portland oarsmen was expended, and also with being present when the directorate voted to reimburse Harrahy. Harrahy Promises Surprise. The suit charges that Harrahy "un lawfully, illegally and improperly con verted to his owniuse $600 of the club's funds; that he has three times been re quested to come before the club and the directors and tell what he-did with the money, but that he refused. Mr. H arrah y refuses to talk, but his friends declare that he will spring the surprise of their lives on the two attor neys when the suit comes to trial: that the inside workings and petty grafts whereby overyone else got his money back in the manipulation of the Lake Quinsigamond Regatta Association will be shown, and that, taken , all in all. the biggest scandal ever connected with a National regatta will be disclosed -by Mr. Harrahy when the suit comes to trial. Some of his friends seem to think that the attorneys for the club will gpt cold feet and 'back down and out when it comes to a showdown at the trial. Say Expenditure Illegal. The suit is to recover which It is 'alleged Mr. Harrahy spent in entertain ing oarsmen at the regatta. It charges that this money was expended without the authority of the directors out of Harrahy's own pocket, wherefore he had no right to reimburse himself out of the coffers of the club. In the matter of Mr. Harrahy's claim that the directors voted him this money and that he therefor is not guilty of anything Illegal, the suit charges that the by-lawg do not permit the directors the power to vote anyone or for any purpose a sum greater than $25. For such a sum as $fi00 the vote of a majority of the club would be absolutely necessary. It further charges that at the meeting of the directors of which Harrahy makes mention there was not even a majority of the directors present, which makes anything that may have been done at that meeting null and void. High Time at Roadhouse. The entertainment, as far as can be learned no vouchers were turned in by Harrahy consisted of automobile rides at $120 a day and wine at $25 a round for the officials of the club and the oarsmen from Portland. The automobile trip on one day was to a notorious roadhoupe in this state and some of the party were not able to come bach until the day following. Harrahy says that one of the attorneys bringing the suit was present on these trips and was "in on" the wine and cut up a few "didoes' not yet mentioned at the roadhouse when Mr. Harrahy was footing the bills' out of his own pocket and making a great narce for the club. COLORS AFFECT THE BRAIN Violet, Blue and Blue-Green , Rest ful, but Others Are Irritating. Century- The waves of each color excite vibration In their own set of cones in the retina. Let. us assume that each of the primary colors has its own set of cone. Various theories are held, one being that only red. green and violet cones extst. the other colors being the product of mixtures of these threei, let us return to our pin cushion simile and to the fact that of the 7.000.W0 cones fiOO.OW are devotel to green. 600,000 to red, 700,000 to violet. 1. 200.000 to blue. 1.800,000 to orange and 2.2O0.0O0 to yellow. Then there are 130.ooo.ooo rods which see white, or luminosity, the por tion of light not absorbed by a color but reflected. ' Tet us assume that in an eye in its making 500.000 cones which see green are left out. That eye would be color-blind to green, but it would still have its "rods" which would see the white light that is reflected as luminosity from all green objects and would see this lumin osity as so much gray. A totally color blind eye would see only shades of gray from almost pure white to pure black. This is to some extent the way a pho tograph shows a landscape and the gra dations of light and shade are the de grees of surface reflection of each color independent of its color waves. Yellow is very luminous and shows comparatively white in the photograph. Violet is very slightly luminous and appears very dark In the photograph. The eye that is color blind in green if it beheld a yellow green would see the yellow with the admixture of gray represented in the luminosity of the green, making a dirty yellow. Green would be shown in a photograph by a gray that is about half way between biack and white. Violet, blue and blue green rest the brain, while the other col ors tend to irritate It. The latter oyer stimulPte and soon act as a whip on the tired nerves. So in music it takes a long time to weary of the violoncello, but a Scotch bagpipe is enjoyed longest when on the other side of the valley. A Ballet Based on "She." LJfe. Rider Haggard, the RUthor of "She." is tellinjt a good story apropos of that novel. Not long ago he heard that a ballad based on his romance, was to be produced at Buda-Pesth. and he wrote asking for programmes and photographs. He re ceived a letter In reply from the manager, saying that he had believed that the illus trious author was dead, as obituaries had appeared In the Hungarian newspapers. Mr. Haggard wrote again and asked that the report of his death might be contra dicted, but the manager replied that the editors refused to publish the contradic tion, as they believed it to be a mere tiodge to advertise the ballet.

NOVEL EFFECTS IN WALL PAPERS SPOONER AND CONKLING Parallel Between Careers of Two Great Lawyers. Philadelphia Press. It might be straining the comparison somewhat if It were said that Senator Spooner resigned from the United StateB Senate under the stress of political anx iety" and disappointment, as Senator Conk llng did. iThe. New York Senator re signed in indignation, being at odds with President Garfield. Senator Spooner's friends say that he might have deferred his resignation or have determined to serve out his present term in the Sen ate were it not for his anxiety respecting the currents of public opinion, an anxiety that leads tc- positive apprehension that the American people must have a test for awhile of demagogic and half social istic legislation. But whatever the re moter purposes either In Senator Conk ling's or Senator Spooner's case, it is a fact that Roseoe Conkling when he re signed fully expected to take up the practice of law at once in New York City. He was grievously misled by the politicians of that day. who urged him to make an appeal to the Legislature, then In session, for vindication in the form of Instant re-election. The appeal failed, and Senator "Conkling came to New York making at first free use of the offices of his friend, Clarence F. Seward, and of Mr. Seward's law library, than which none was better In the office of any lawyer. Senator Conkling had no clien tage excepting a vi"ofessional relation with the Union Pacific Railroad. But his personality, the extraordinary fascination which enabled him to attract even those whom he also repelled: his copious vo cabulary': his rich imagination: his mas tery of the classic poets, and his utiliza tion of them in his speeches; his domi nance as a Republican leader from the time of the Civil Wax, and the recollec tion also among students of his oratory, of the brilliant word painting unsurpassed in its simplicity, dignity and perfection by any oratory which Congress has ever heard, wherein he. then a young man, serving his second term in Congress pic tured forth the appalling disaster of Balls Bluff, at whichv Colonel E. D. Baker, who was also a United States Senator from Oregon, fell; then. too. the recol lection by financiers of the able speech, marvelous when the youth of the sneaker and his lack of familiarity with banking are considered, which Conkling made in the House of Representatives, and by which he demonstrated what now a'tl AND WEDNESDAY EXTRA AT THE HOUSE OF VALUES $50 to $75 Costume Tailored and Silk Suits Exclusive styles, ev ery ' one a master piece; Tuesday and Wednesday on . dis play in our windows. $32.75 $7.50 to $10.00 Jackets In fitted and loose box.

The courtroom was thronged, packed as it always was In New York City when he appeared In any case. His appearance in the conduct of the case, his oratory, and his daily life were in much detail described izt the newspapers. Mr. Conkling won that case, and the understanding of his friends was that he received a fee of $50,000 for his services. He was speedily called into consultation where important interests were involved. He received several hand some retainers from Jay Gould, who was at that time just ending his destrtictlve work and beginning his constructive ca reer. Mr. Conkling'. death was almost acci dental, caused by exposure while he walked from his office to his club on Madison Square, where he fell almost ex hausted upon the steps, he thinking at one time that he was about to perish in the snowdrifts on Union Square, on the afternoon of the first day of the memo rable blizzard almost exactly 19 years ago. His estate inventoried nearly $. wtf. more than half of which had been accumulated by his practice from 1S81 to issg.
