THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 24, 1900.
S
WON BY AN OUTSIDER
SIDNEY IXCAS CAPTUKKD THE
AMERICAX DERBY.
The Eastern Colt James Was Second,
and the Favorite, Lieutenant
Gibson, a Poor Third.
CHICAGO. June 23. Sidney "Lucas, al
most neglected In the betting at odds of 15
to 1, won the thirteenth American Derby
this afternoon at "Washington. Park. Six
lengths behind him -was the Eastern, colt,
James, and still further back, struggling
to no avail, was the vaunted public choice,
tbe even-money favorite, Lieutenant Gib
eon. Barrack, Advance Guard and Sam
Phillips In order brought up the proces
sion -which carried little Joy to the 30.000
spectators who saw the great classic event
decided. "The rush of Sidney Lucas through
the stretch .nd the falling back of Lieu
tenant Gibson was so eudden, so startling,
that It fairly stupefied the crowd. Per
haps not one In a hundred had picked Sid
ney Lucas to turn the trick. Lieutenant
Gibson, the favorite, had no excuses. Sam
Phillips, the second choice, was in the
same unfortunate category. Thus the
great event passed into turf annals, and
registered the ninth defeat of a favorite
In a race which has been contested 13
times. The result, mourned by eo many,
Has thrown Its damper upon the spirits of
nearly all except the bookmakers.
The scene was one of animation. Flashes
of color in bewildering profusion came out
from the swell turnouts and automobiles
ana in the field where society viewed the
race. From the clubhouse, where was one
bewildering array of pretty women in
Terby gowns, while in the grandstand
there was a bewildering and kaleidoscopic
sprinkling of those dainty tints which form
the costumes of women and enhance their
beauty. Against this setting, the sterner
appearance of their escorts framed the
background.
"When the starters and Jockeys were
posted for the one star-feature event of
the day the crowd surged In almost end
less streams toward the ring where the
pencillers stood on their little stools of
fering odds. "When at last the bugle called
the six chosen thoroughbreds to the post
there was a hushed expectancy. All were
eager to see the royal purple of "Board
of Trade" Charley Smith, borne by Lieu
tenant Gibson, for the colt had not made
a public appearance in Chicago. The ex
pectations were more than realised. He
was the only really racy-looking youngster
In ihe bunch, standing out in contrast to
the rather dejected appearance of the rest
jOf the field. Sidney Lucas attracted at
tention, but It was the attention bestowed
upon the red flannel bandages upon his
lore lege. Around to the start at, the half
mile post slowly wended the field. There
the nervous temperament of Lieutenant
Gibson showed In his uneasy shlftings. One
false break, and then Starter Dwyer
dropped his red flag, and "they're off"
came-the' old familiar cry from the im
mense'throng. Barrack's nose was In front, with James
6ccond and the favorite third. Around the
stretch and turn and down the straight
away for the first time swung the field.
Coming past the grandstand. Lieutenant
Gibson, fairly fighting, was leading by a
head, and James, running almost as
easily, was second. Sam Phillips, the hope
of the Schorr stable, with Jockey Tommy
Burns in the saddle, was third. The disconsolate-looking
Sidney Lucas was fourth,
With Barrack and Advance Guard bring
ing up the rear.
Pa&t the quarter pole swept the field,
Sidney Lucas displacing Sam Phillips In
third position. Jockey Mitchell loosened
hfs wrap on the reins through the back
stretch, and James moved to the van.
Ho was only a length before Gibson, who
had Lucas at his girth. Around the far
turn Boland began to let down his mount.
but only slightly, the first three moving
to the pole denoting the final quarter-mile
to the wire, half-lengths apart
There surely Gibson would go to the
front, thought the crowd. But It was
Sldnsr Lucas who was moving to the
front. Boland urged Lieutenant Gibson.
He passed James for a few seconds, but
Sidney Lucas was In front. Shortly nfter
wards he was caught between Sidney
' Lucas and James, and his progress slightly
interfered with. Boland would have had
to go around, but the two were leaving
the carrier pf many thousands of dollars
of public money behind. There, between
ttfe quarter and eighth posts, was decided
the thirteenth American Derby. Thomp
son Brothers' colt outstripped James, and
an eighth of a mile from home he was
two open lengths to the good.
. For an Instant Gibson rallied and drew
tip sljghtlj- ahead of James, but it was
his last rally.. On the wire, gaining at
svery stride, came Sidney Lucas. Past the
Judges' stand he galloped, six lengths be
fore James. The latter was second, eight
lengths before the even-money proposi
tion, on which Boland had been making
every effort to rouse his mount. But It
was no use. Sidney Lucas may never
again beat this field at the weights, but
he today has the blue-ribbon event of the
Washington Park meeting to his credit,
and his owners are richer by $9975, the
amount of first money. The owners of
the second -and third horses receive J20G0
and $1000, respectively. The results were:

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
Revolution in the Slxc and Power of
Monnr&is of the Itnll.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Beginning with the adoption of modern
valve gear In about 18C0. and during the in
tervening period of 40 years, the typical
American passenger locomotive has in
creased its size of cylinder from 16x22
inches to 20x2S Inches, or practically doub
led the cubic capacity. The diameter of
the driving wheels, which nowadays
causes the chance observer astonishment
on account of its great size, has increased
from five feet to as high as eight feet
six Inches. The pressure of steam used
has grown from 100 pounds in 1860 to 255
pounds. The ability to draw loads has
been more than trebled. The diameter of
the boiler sbell. and hence the steam
capacity has grown from less than four
feet to nearly six feet. The total weight
of the engine was about 61,000 pounds
in 1S00, and Is now in extreme cases as
high as 173.003 pounds.
The freight locomotive has had a simi
lar increase In size. Beginning with lo
comotives of about the size of the passen
ger engines In 1SG0. the extreme develop
ment has been reached In an engine re
cently built for the Illinois Central, which
has a total weight of 232,200 pounds. This
locomotive Is the heaviest in the world.
With this rate of growth continued for
five years, Mr. Forsyth, who has recently
wrlten an instructive paper on this sub
ject, figures that the engines of 1903 will
be far larger than even the largest loco
motives In us; today. He thinks the larg
est engines built at that time will have
cylinders at least 2Sx30 Inches In slzo, or
nearly double the cubic edacity of the
passenger engine cylinders In us; today.
The boiler pressure, he thinks, will un
quentlomably go up to 303 pounds, and the
size of the boiler and furnace area will
be Increased proportionately. The ability
to haul a load will be over one-third
greater than that of the present engine.
Finally, he predicts a total weight of
311.000 pounds, almost a third heavier
than the heaviest locomotive in existence
today.
When these dimensions are reached the
type of American locomotive in use today
will have attained Its greatest possible
development.
NEGRESS CUT TO DEATH.
Resalt of a Flprht In tus North End

Emma Golden, a colored denizen- of the
North End. had a fight with another

gram saloon, at the corner of Fourth and
Everett streets, at 2:15 thte morning. In
which a razor was used upon her with
eubh effect that she died before she could

GERMANS ARE SURPRISED
LITTLE ATTEXTION PAID TO VOX
KETTBLEB'S WARII3TG.
Radical and Socialist Press Lay the
Trouble to the Klao Chon
Selsare.
BERLIN, June 23. Ttoe Chinese troubles
have almost cemp'etery swept the South
African War from public attention. Even
tthe latest Pretoria news went uncom
mented upon, except by the military.
About Chtocee events tbe Foreign Office
uses great reticence, ond above all stu
diousfiy avoids admitting that the present
events mean an actual and probably bit
ter aad protracted war with China. This
may bo partly owing to the attacks of
tine Radical and Socialistic press, which
matataims that the present rjslng of Chi
nese against the "foreign devils" Is directly
or lndsiectcy due to the German seizure
of Klao Ghou. In this the papers are
strcttgUbened by the public utterances of
tho German missionary BVJhop of Shan
Tung, Van Anzer, who recently described
the dacitrous effect upon missionary work
of Uhe Klao Chou seizure.
In political circles here it Is known that
the Foreign Office was quite surprised by
the IncreasingCy serious character of the
Chinese uprising. "While it is true Baron
von KetiteSer. the German Minister at Pe
kln, vsrvi tiwo months ago a detailed report
containing alarming advices from the Ger
man Consuls throughout China, and pre
dicting serious trouble before long, not
much attention was paid here to the re
port, because KettcJer was new in Peklnv
But, though the Emperor and Count von
Bulow. tbe Minister of Foreign Affairs,
do not attach much Importance to the
mws from China, they are now thorough
ly aroused.' His Majesty declared Friday
at Kiel that German Interests in China
under no circumstances must be allowed
to suffer, no matter how great tbe sacri
fice. Tbe bu!k of tlbe German press takes the
same view. The Kreutz Zeltung prints an
interesting editorial, saying:
"It is quite uncertain what will be the
final outcome of the troubles In- China.
It wiM be Impossible to re-establish a
vigorous authoritative central government
at PekJn. such as the powers desire and
will need. Presumably they will be obliged
to enlarge and give definite shape to the
rphere-of-interest policy, and further to
dlvftJe China, either with or without leav
ing a nominal central government at Pe
kln. To several of rhe powers the prcserx
crisis enme too quickly, which further en
dangers the situation."
The Foreign Office says that its latest
news from Tien Tsln Is substantially the
same as that set fofth in the statement
of Right Hon. St. John Broderick. Under
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs In
the British House of Commons. The For
eign Office states, howover. that "the Chi
nese troops have made desperate resist
ance to the International force, whida again
proves that It will be necessary for the
powers to continue their present policy of
Jointly enforcing order In China, and aloo
the necessity for harmonious action be
tween the powers."
Lord Gough, the British Charge in Ber
lin, today said to the correspondent of the
Aaxciated Press that he doubted If the
poweiB bad yet exchanged views concern
ing the future state of the Chinese Gov
ernment, or what would be done with the
Empress Dowager and those allied with
her. The only course at present, he
thought. Is to enforce order and protect
Europeans.
The Parliamentary season is now fairly
closed, and the Cabinet officials here have
begun their Summer vacations.
Today, before leaving for the conven
tion In Bremen of the Free Trade Society,
Dr. Theo Barth, the Frelssinnlgc leader,
said to the correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press:
"In the fight against an Increase in ag
ricultural duties, as the Agrarians want
them fixed in the coming commercial
treaties, much will depend upon the la
boring classes. If they organize a com
bination against such Increased prices on
the necessaries of life which are to bo
made for the benefit of a few thousand
large estate-holders, the projected In
creases will be prevented."
The seml-mlllenial celebration of the
birth of John Guttenburg. Inventor of
printing, began today at Mayence, Tho
fete today consisted of the opening of a
typographical and historical exposition,
with fine exhibits from the state printing
establishments and departments In Ber
lin. Vienna, Paris. Lisbon. Madrid and St.
Petersburg. A performance of Maccabees
will occur tomorrow: also an academical
celebration In the City Hall. Then will
follow a musical and oratorical celebra
tion at the Guttenburg monument. The
"To Deum" will be sung at this place by
600 boy choristers. Monday will folrow
a magnificent historical procession.
Among those In line will be 303) men.
women and children, clad in the costume
of the 13th century. There will be 41 big
floats, drawn by 803 horses. A grand ban
quet will follow In the evening, as well
as evening concerts. The Guttenburg
museum will also be founded the same
day. Delegates from scores of scientific
Institutions In France. England. Italy and
America are in attendance upon this cel
ebration, among them being Professor
Hunt, of Princeton University.
Comparatively few Americans are pass
ing through Berlin fewer, even, than
during the Spanish-American War.
As Indicating the Increased Interest In
American matters taken by German
newspapers, it is worth noting that the
great news-gathering organization, the
Wolff Bureau, now sends to the German
press an Interesting weekly American
mall letter written by a special corre
spondent In New York.

THEY SHOT CRAPS FOR HIM
Why the Actor Had a Different
'Walter at His Last Hotel Meal.
Washington Star.
"The only time I was ever ac
tually put on the block ana
made an article of barter," said
a Washington actor who came back home
for a rest the other day, "happened at a
hotel In New Orleans last Win
ter. The show was fln New Or
leans for a week. I went to
a small but well-managed hotel, not
In the down-town district, that had been
recommended to me. The two waiters in
the hotel dining-room who attended to the
corner where I decided to sit were a pair
of very black young fellows, Mose and
Zeke. Mose caught my eye first when I
took my first meal in the hostelry, and
from then on he waited on me splendidly.
He was one of the best waiters I ever
saw, was Mose, and the way he Jollied
the cook into giving me extras was some
thing wonderful. I am not In the habit
of tipping waiters promiscuously when on
the road, but I alwajs do the right thing
by tho waiter who has taken good care of
me at the wind-up of my stay in a hotel.
I told Mose that I'd fix hhn out all right
If ho'd go on treating me right, and he
grinned and renewed his efforts to give
mo a good deal more than was legiti
mately coming to me. As the week wore
on, Mose did better and better by me;
his attentions to me were almost embar
rassing. In fact. Zeke. the other waiter
who attended to the corner of the dining
room In which I sat, eyed Mose enviously
throughout most of the week. Zeke's ta
bles were filled with countrified-looking
folks, who didn't look as If they ever
heard of such a thing as tipping a waiter,
and it was easy to see that Zeke had It
all figured out that I was liable to prove
a good thing, and that he was lamenting
his fate that he wasn't taking care of me.
Mose In his turn would grin' triumphantly
at Zeke every time he passed by him,
and altogether It wan funny to witness
tho little play between the pair of wait
era "I was to leave the hotel on Saturday
evening, and X had decided that I would
give Mose a $2 bill a pretty sizable tip
down in New Orleans, where the folks
accept the attentions of colored attend
ants largely as a matter of course, and
rarely think of tipping them.
"I was surprised when I sat down at
supper the last meal I was to take at the
hotel to see that Zeke was in charge of
my table. He bent 'an attentive ear to
take my order, while Mose, looking the
p'cture of shecpishness and misery, stood
some distance away gazing at Beke and
then at me.
" 'What's th matter with Moser I
asked Zeke. 'He's not sore on me, I
hope?
" 'No, suh. he ain't nu'hln' like dat,
suh,' said Zeke. but he offered me no ex
planation as to why Mose had passed me
up, as It were.
" 'But why isn't Mose wnitlng on me,
as usual 7 I asked Zeke.
"Zeke only grinned in reply, and I was
mystified.
" 'You tell Mose to come over here I
want to see h:m.' I said to Zeke. Zeke
grinned still more amply, and beckoned to
Mcjse. Mose came over to my table, drag
ging his feet after him In a dismal sort of
way, and for tho soul of me I couldn't
make out what ailed the man.
" 'Mose ' said I. 'what's the matter with
you? Why are you not waiting on me?
"Mose. continuing to look the picture
of despair, replied:
" 'Bekaa; Ah dun lost yo' out, suh.
" 'Lost me out? said I, s'lll snore mysti
fied. '"What do you mean by that?
" 'Ah dun lost yo. all out tuh Zeke.
auh.' said Mose. sadly. 'We dun bin uh
shootln' crap for yo' all dis roohnin', an"
Zeko he dun win yo4 all out, suh, dat's
all
"I couldn't help but let out a laugh that
caused everybody in the dining-room to
turn around and look at me. When I
declined to abide by the arbitrament of
tho dice, and handed Mose his $2 bill, he
was tho most dellghtedlooklng darky I
ever clapped an eye on, and Zeke seemed
to be grateful enough for the quarter I
gave him to placate him. But I'm afraid
there may have been a razor play or so
between Zeke and Mose when they got to
gether off duty."
'o Compulsion.
The man wan sitting on the front steps
of Ns house at 3 o'clock In the roorn.ng
as the policeman came by and noticed
him.
"Hello," exclaimed the startled guard
ian of the peace, "what are you do'ng
thero?" and ho drew near cautiously.
"Sitting here," responded the man.
"What are you sitting there for?"
"It's my house, and I guess I've got a
right to, have'nt I?"
"Oh, excuse me," apologized the police
man, coming closer; "I dMn't recognize
you. "What's tho matter? LoX your night
key?"
"No," very curtly.
"Forgot It when you came out?'
"No."
"Afraid of disturbing somebedy that's
sick If jou knock?"
"No."
"Waiting for the milkman, perhaps?"
ventured the policeman, taking another
tack.
"No," shorter than ever.
"Want to get In early to breakfast,
perhaps."

The Deadly Air Bubblen.
London Answers.
Very often a soldier gets so severe a
wound from the tiny bullet of the mod
ern rifle that he concludes the enemy has
no respect for the Geneva convention and
is using the terrible explosive bullets
which no civilized nation uses now. Sur
geons who know their business well are
well aware of the explanation of this
mistake. The explosive effects are due
to the air which the bullet drives before
It Into the wound.
Anyone can put the matter to a simple
test. By dropping a round bullet Into a
glass of water from a height of one or
two yards It will be seen that the mo
ment the bullet touches the bottom a

SEVERE THROAT TROUBLE.
Mr. James Patterson, Woodstock:
I suffered with my throat for 23 years.
Much of the time. I was In danger of
starving to death. I had great dltllculty
ln swallowing, and for days could eat
scarcely enough to keep me alive. The
smallest particle of food would cause
gagging and strangling and nearly choke
me.
I had doctored until I was completely
discouraged and without hope of being
cured. After reading and hearing of the
remarkable cures made at the Copeland
Institute I concluded to go there for
treatment. I am better now than I have
been In years; better than I ever ex
pected to be In my life.
Mrs. A. H. aiaeRley, 4rn Fifth Street,
Portland: Our little daughter Monta was
seriously affected with catarrh of the
head and throat. Her whole system was
affected. She could not breathe through
her nose. She was pale and weak, and al
ways tired and exhausted. Drs. Copeland
and Montgomery cured her.

cases this bubble has a volume of air 20
times as large as the bullet. !
But when a ride bullet Is traveling at J

the eyes arc inflamed and weak ; there is an almost continual discharge from the ears, the limbs swell,
bones ache, and white swelling is frequently a result, causing the diseased bones to work out through

good ; the blood is poisoned. The old scrofulous taint which has probably come down through several
generations has polluted every drop ot Diooa.
Scrofula requires vigorous, persistent treatment. The blood must be brought back to a healthy
