BT LIXTi'D F. 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.

MODERN resourcefulness got :hi
Chinese into serious trouble.
, Chin Chong. of 87 Second street,
got along admirably as long as he kept
by the ancient traditions and customs of
his race. But when he tried to overcome
the lead of several thousand years which
Occidentals have . over his kind, 'Chong
fell.
Electricity was the cause of Chong s
downfall. He was held for indictment
by Justice of the Peace Re id, yesterday

ern by using electricity without contrib
uting to dividends, salaries and other in

business.
Oiong's knowledge of electricity had
advanced to such a stage that he was
smoking opium with the aid of a live wire
when arrested. His arrest was effected
by Detective Lillls. of the Portland Rail

by the Infield, which had much to do
with the Portland tallies.
Improve in All Directions.
In all departments of the game the
Beavers' play showed a decided improve
ment. Madden caught to show that bis
injured hand is better, and there were
sensational fielding stunts scattered all
the way through. In the fifth inning,
with two strikes cilled. Dunn swung at
a, wide ball and reached first. Madden
necessarily gets an error on what was
by rights a wild pitch. That maa the only
misplay of the afternoon, so far as the
professionals Were concerned.
The Beavers started well in the first
Inning, when Casey hit for two bags
and scored when Raftery hit to deep cen
ter for three, the Portland centerfielder
making the circuit on a fielders' choice.
Bassey annexed the third run on a single,
a stolen base and a nice hit that Cooney
sent into left field.
Mad dorrs Timely Hit.
An error by Feeney, the Phoenix sec
ond baseman, started Danzig around the
bases in the fifth. and he was boosted
home by Madden's timely hit over short.
The Portlanders made it five when they
got their last run in the ninth. The
Phoenix infield pulled off a couple of
speedy double plays.. Score by Innings:

Famous Race Hore Dead.
"LONDON. April 2. The Duke of
Portland's famous. ra4 horse St. Sim
eon died this morning. ; The horse was
an electrical contrivance for producing
heat m the other. 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. From the wire he
scraped the Insulation by use of a nolo,
possibly loaned for the occasion by the
Bolo Club, On the exposed wire he laid
a forked copper arrangement which
tapped the current and gave him elec
tricity for heating, lighting and cookiaj?
his opium.
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. St. Simeon was the sire of
DiamondJubilee and Persimmon, which
respectively won the Derby in 1900 and

then Prince of Wales.

THE COST OF A SMALL WAR
Enormous Expense of Small Pu
nitive Expedition.
New Tork Sun.
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

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,

pay, and privates 1 cents additional.
Therefore, besides the $.10,000 initial out
lay, the expedition costs the country In

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

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

Two people in a great pic

scrubwoman, at work, and the
other a smartly-dressed elderly
man of fashion. "Blind with
the far focus of his eyes, his
groping fingers caught the
gnarled knuckles of Mrs. Flan
nery in a clutch of rapture."
Wouldn't it make you
marvel ?
"Immortal Youth" is a
story by Rupert Hughes. It
is about a wonderful Irish
model and an artist who forgot.
If the beauty of women and
the greatness of art mean any

You will never forget it.
