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. In distress.
Thousands acclaimed Zal as the win
ner as they turned into the stretch, not
seeing Jockey Minder uncouple Pink
Star. Tne big bay colt speedily closed
tip the four lengths between him and
Zal, successively mowing down Wool
Sandals and Ovelando with the great-:
est ease.
Pink Xose Shows in Front.
Half way down the stretch Pink
Star's pink muzzle showed in front and
the. race was won. From there on to
the wire Pink Star held the race safe.
The favorite. Hed Gauntlet, remained
in fifth position almost the entire dis
tance and. when called upon in the
stretch, the best he could do was to
move Into fourth place. nhcadof the
wobbly Wool Sandals, anad the very
tired Orland Wick.

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

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.

SPOONER AND CONKLING
Parallel Between Careers of Two
Great Lawyers.

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

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

moter purposes either In Senator Conk

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
