XONBHOAK. NEW YORK. April 2 (Special Corres pondence. ) The sudden change of front on the hills to end racfitrack rambling in New York was due in a great measure to Speaker Wadsworth's boom for Governor. "Wadsworth's father, the former Contsre.' man. is a tnemler of the State Racing Commission. From start to finish he has forgot the reform laws, tooth and nail. The Speaker, as a dutiful eon has sympa thized with him. and early displayed his intention of aiding in killing the bills. As already stated the plan had been to vote down the .racetrack legislation in the Assembly. The Senator considered they had pained sufficient unpleasant notoriety bv keeping Superintendent of Insurance Otto Kelsry in office, despite the liov ernor's command that he be ousted. . "So now,1; they added, "we will take a hish moral standard, and vote to end betting at the racetracks. And the measure can be beaten in the Assembly, or Bmothered to death in committee." Speaker Wadsworth accepted the task. The Assembly committee 00 codes was as nuiet as a clam. And thev kept all the bills snugly and neatly on tiV-s. But recently Mr. Wadsworrh saw a new Tent. The Illumination was supplied by Ldward A. Merritt. floor leader of the majority, and incidentally a strong sup porter of the pending legislation. Mr. Merritt realized that the bills were tied tip. but was not In a position to openly flefv his superior. "jimmy." he said one day In the course nf ..llttle caucus attended by less than half a dozen members, "a lot of people re getting excited about these raoetrack fills. ' j - "Jimmy" opined that this was true, .nether man in the group added that It Sidn't really matter. "Let them rave." he said, "it does not hurt our feellnes." "nut." persisted Merritt, "did any of .you ever stop to think that there are .nvrjy thousands of ministers'ln this state, mei tat practically every one of them n h f puiiseii the war on gambling. Bach rpinipti'r has a congregation too." He ptopned a moment to let this fact sink In. Then musingly continued: 'I hope our next candidate for Gov ernor Is not a man who has been active !n supporting the racetracks. Think of how he would be flayed in sermons from Pinttsburg to Montauk Point." With a shake of his head Mr. Merritt walked away, and the next day Speaker Wadsworth came out in a statement de claring that the hills to end betting on the racetracks must be passed, as "The moral sentiment of the . state demanded 't." All of which created unhappiness among the lobbyists working for the racing interests. And their pleas to cer tain Senators only evoked the reply that "you can't expect us to be the goats all the time, now can you old man?" How the Speaker "squared things" with his father, if he did. Is one of the family ecret s that have not been made public. For the former Congressman is an old soldier, a passionate man and literally nloyed one of the fiercest fights with Roosevelt ever pulled off in Washington. A friend met the elder . Wadsworth in Hie Waldorf the other day. "Tell me somethlrg Oeneral." he pleaded, '"during the Civil War you com manded a brigade with credit, now how is it you cannot command Jimmie?" "I can command him all right," was he reply, "but I cannot get him to obey." So there you are. SHELDON'S MEMORY FAILS Davis Threatened Peath to Ix An jteles Land-Grabhers. 1,OS ANGELES.

He was smoking his opium by application of the modern heat ing agency, which is said to impart more delightful dreams than was possible un der the old system of smoking by use of spirit lamps. Chong was possibly dream ing he had come Into possession of a bunch of electric light stock, or was winning fame and wealth as a successful streetcar conductor when Detective Li 11 is slipped in and cut off the current. Chong had been enjoying all the luxu ries of electricity for several weeks, it is said, and without payment of a cent. He had managed to "locate a wire In the roof over his bunk.

He will continue to enjoy electric light ing and heating for some time to come, although the bill will be footed by the County under the appropriation for main tenance of the County Jail. RUN-DOWN CONDITION DUE ; TO OVERWORK A Battle Creek Woman Describes Her Symptoms and Tells How Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cured Her. The srmptoms described in the follow ing case are so common today wherever OTerwork and -worry have resulted in a decline in health that the means by which a cure was effected deserve the careful attention pf every thoughtful man nnrl wrtm.n T t la cti-Vi iviniliriniia as are here described that are commonly I neglected until the injury to the health Is past repair. It is therefore the part of wisdom to take the remedy that cored Mrs. James Strnwin. of 488 'West Main street. Battle Creek. Mich., as soon as the first warning symptoms are noted. &heaya: . "For several months I wns sick with ansemia and part of the time had to remain in bed. It was brought on by overwork which produced a run-down condition. My kidneys were weak and the secretions contained a sediment. My cheeks and lips were white, I had bad headaches, diszy and fainting ppells and won Id see black specks floating before my eyes. , I would often have palpita tion of the heart, could get no rest from sleep, was nervous, low-spirited and weak. My blood was watery and I didn't have strength enough to work. "We employed a doctor for six months but without avail. Then I read about Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills in a paper and soon after began to take them. A few boxes cured me, giving me strength and plenty of blood and I have been well and strong ever since. " So general is the suooess of Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills in curing anemia that it may be safely stated that they are the most certain remedy for all conditions of thin, weak and watery blood. They are also a tonic for the nerves and have cured indigestion and general debility, where the stomach and other organs of the body are weakened and disordered simply through lack of proper nourish ment. They have also been especially successful in curing rheumatism and after-effects of the grip and of fevers. A pamphlet on "Diseases of the Blood ' and a copy of our diet book will be sent free on request. Dr. William' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt or price, oo cents per box ; six boxes 13.60, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Soheneotady, T originally bought for $5000 and held an unbeaten record throughout his racing career.

That even a little war Is a costly thing Is shown In a calculation which has been made In Paris as to the cost of mobilizing the French force of WOO men which has been eent out from Casablanca to subdue the Beni-Snassen and other turbulent Mo roccan tribes. The fore consists of SNft Infantry. 1000 cavalry, 700 artillerymen, 350 of the army service corps. M0 native ir regulars and 400 officers. On the very day when the order of mobillratlon was is sued, and before a single move had been made this force cost France some t3P.0V). Under French military law every officer receives a month's pay the minute he is ordered on active duty In the field. This means 135 for a Colonel. J92 for a Lieutenant-Colonel. $51 to 69 for a Captain. In addition to this, from the day when active service begins, the officers receive a material increase of pay. The Colonel, for Instance. rets I7.J0 a day InBtead of 14 52, a Lieutenajit-Oolonel $2.95 instead of tX&o. nonootmnifsioned officers receive 1 Woodard, Clarke & Co.

Therefore, besides the $.10,000 initial out lay, the expedition costs the country In pay over and above the peace standard about $500 a day for the officers, $160 for. the noncoms, and $140 for the privates, while the Irregulars and native guides draw anywhere from $S0 to $100 a day. The expense of feeding the force in the field Is figured at about $2000 a day. Ten thousand rations are iFSued to It, all the superior officers receiving two full rations and the Junior officers one and a half or, rather, perhaps commuting at that rate, while the men receive one stand ard ration each, consisting of 25 ounces of bread, a pound of fresh meat, two thirds of a pound of salt pork or half a pound of preserved meat, half a pint of wine, one-fourth of a pound of dried vege tables or rice, one ounce of lard, two thirds of an ounce of salt, one ounce of sugar, and four-fifths of an ounce of roasted coffee. Besides the cost of these provisions in price of commutation, the expense of transporting them to the front is estimated at about $300 a. day. The cost of transporting the men themselves to the base of operations is figured at $12, 000. Incidental and medical expenses are minimised at $1000 a day. Taken by and large, it Is estimated that the present punitive expedition is costing Franc h an average of more than $6000 a day, or $150,000 a month. Blessings of tbe Blind.
