RACE HORSE GOSSIP
Latest Happenings of. the Track
and Stable.
Parole: the hero of many an equine bat
tle in America and England, died of old
age last week at Pierre LorUlard's home
in Tuxedo Park. He was SO years old.
Parole, the horse that first made the
late Pierre Lorlllard famous abroad, was
the last of the "old guard'' of American
thoroughbreds that became famous
throughout the world two decades ago.
After a brilliant career on the American
turf, he was sent to England In 1879, in
charge of Jacob Fincus. He was then
six years old.
The English official handicapper of that
day thought so little of the quality of
the Yankee thoroughbred that he as
signed 119 pounds t Parole for the CHy
and Suburban Handicap w on of th
greatest races of the Bngllsh tUrt .For
this apparent neglect of proper recogni
tion of his ability. Parole, took' sweet
revenge galloping, off with the stakes)
(nearly $8,000) and landing many large
bets at long odds.

his life at the1 Occidental Hotel in this

gas. Mercer had been playing with the
ail-merlcan team on Its Western trip
and had been playing an excellent game,
and no reason can be assigned for his
rash act Last evening he was around
as usual appearing in fine spirits and re
tired early 'to his roem. After locking
his door he fastened a tube on the Jet,
turned on the gas and lay on the bed.
The windows and transom were tightly
closed, and it was' many . hours after
ward that the odor of gas was detected.
The door was broke In. but the once
great ..pitcher . -was . past --all. suffering,
He lert a, note on the table which read:
"Tell Mr. Tan Horn. Langham Hotel,
that Winnie Mercer has - taken his ttte."
Mercer was widely known as a base

also wlUrSfi, Lou la. He ranked high as
a pitcher" and gained much renown by
nis ciever performances at tne nation b
capital. , The old battery, Mercer and
McGuire, so well known by the cranki
throughout the land, hag lost Its flrint

Other letters found among Mercer's
effects show that gambling and women
were the cause of his suicide. In one of
his notes he advisee all men to beware
of women. , In two letters- to his mother

he asks their forgiveness. A short time

"The Railroads do not want Ankeny
any more than they want John L. Wil
son, or some other man who will do their
bidding, but they do want the support
that Ankeny is able to bring them in the
battle against the railroad commission
bill, being pushed by Governor Mc
Bride, of the 'State of Washington, and
his friend, Harold Preston."
The above expression shows the way
George W. Ba-bcoek, formerly Mayor of
tne Ulty of Walla Wallo. who is now
a guest at the Hotel Perkins in thl
city, looks at the political BiUmtlou.ln
the State of Washington.
They .need Ankeny's help, and they
need his money. He will have to loosen
up . to win."
Mr. Babcock Is a capitalist "and Is
spending a few weeks In Portland be
fore going on to Olympla, the capital of
his, state. He Is not a member of the
Legislative body of Washington, but haa
long been classed among the political
enemies of the Senatorial candidate

. AFTER COMMISSION BILL.
"They want to down 'the commission
bill," said Mr. Babcock. "ana will do
anything' and -everything lir-their power
to up so. That Is why the railroads are
sticking to Ankeny. He has a certain
personal following that they need, and
need very badly. But they cannot de
feat the commission proposition. The
people have called for It, and it Is in the
air. It has simply got to be."
Mr. Babcock owns a great deal of
property in Walla Walla and the sur
rounding country. In speaking of con
dltlons he said the farmers were not too
well pleuBed with the outlook for the
coming year.
"A great deal of grain sown In the
heavier lands will have to be re-seeded,
because of dry-rot. Mildew has been
another factor in the destruction of seed
wheat. . Of course, the so-called winter
wneat, when it Is killed, does not mean
a total failure of the land to Droduce.
but it floes mean the loss of 'the money
spent in planting the -first crop, and
wheat seeded in the spring never yields
as heavily as that sown in the fall." -Mr.
Babcock Is' paying careful .atten

stories that Mr. Ankeny has gained any
marked advantage. He says thee'" is

HARD FIGHT WITH
DREAD CONTAGION
During January, 1902, there we're 30
coses of smallpox treated at the pest
house. Present indications would war.
rant the conclusion that at the present
rate with which cases are coming In, the
record for January, 1903, may surpass
that or last year. The Health Depart
ment is by no means asleep, but is ex
erting strenuous efforts to get the dls
esse under control. Every member of
the department Is on the jump from early
morning until late at night, and their la
bors aro being crowned with success
It cannot be said that all the rases are
of a mild form, neither are they all es
pecially malignant. The cold weather of
late has a tendency to make the disease
develop rapidly. There are 18 cases at
the pesthouse now. . ....
lJB...iiiersdorff, tne Health Commission

the river boats to the pesthouse, who was
suffering from the dread disease. He, to

It Is not alone smallpox which the
Health Department has to combat, but
also scarlet fever, typhoid, diphtheria and
ether disorders. The department.ls handi
capped by lack of a staff sufficiently
large to do the work, which entails heavy
labor upon those already engaged. An-
ctlw handicap Is the lack of sufficient
fumigating apparatus, although two new
machines were recently added to the
equipment.
Under all the circumstance, the Health
Department deserves praise for Its speedy
action. -
