NEW RACE TRACK TIME 70 CALL A HALT. Breakers Ahead for the American Man of Affairs. The Virginia Jockey Olub and Its New Grounds. Startling Estimates and Observations Made by # Distinguished Euro- pean Scholar. ‘The Best 5: les in the Country to Take Part in the Race Meet- ing Next Month. ‘A solldly-butlt man, pleasant of spsech and ‘courteous of manner, with an appearance of such perfect health and contentment that one must re- gard bim as 2 living testimonial of the correctness of his own theory of therapeutics—such ts Dr. R. A. Walker, the noted specialist im the treat- went of diseases of the brain and nervous sys- tem. Dr. Walker was found in his office at No. 1411 Peansyivania avenue, adjoining Willard’s Hotel, yesterday, and upon being interrogated regarding the alieged fucrease of nervous diseases im the United States said: “Tt ts quite true that such diseases are Increas- fing at an alarming rate. There is no question that neurasthenia, or nervous exhaustion, is the growing malady of the day, the physiological feu- ture of the age. It 1s infinitely worse in America than elsewhere. The cramming process practiced fa the schools, the exciting pleasure of social life, the shecks and auxictics of business, the competi- tive zeal that enters even Into the practice of science, art, literature and other professions—these are among the causes. “Seven out of every tem people im the United States,” continued the doctor, impressively, “are sufferers from affections of the nervous svstem. ‘The majority of these doubtless think there is nothing serious the matter with them. They feel Janguid and dull, probably have headacve aud are wakeful at might, rising with @ sense of fatigue in the morning, but they are persuaded that they will oon be all right again. As a matter of fact, they are surely drifting toward the dreadful tortures incident to the many diseases and symptoms aris- {mg from an impaired nervous system—dyspepsia, insomnia, melancholia, neuralgia, spinal affections, inflammation of the brain, paralysis, paresis, loco- motor ataxia, and so ou. Indirectly, this condi- tion may induce rheumatism, catarrh, cousump- tion and many other diseases. “Is your treatment different from that of the fegular schools of medicine?" “Essentially so. It 1s in advance of any of the Wethods now taught and practiced. While @ studemt I became convinced that the great ma- Jerity of diseases common to humanity had. their erigin primarily in disturbed conditions of the ner- I developed theories of my own ard Proceed to demonstrate thelr practicability and value. For the past twenty yeers I have given my entire atcention to diseases of the brain and uervous system, pursuing my investigations in all the leading hospitals of Europe and America. As you are probably aware, the uniform success of my Methed has excited considerable wonde~ and com- ment. By it many people have been cured who ‘Were thought to be incurable, and thousands of Gespairing sufferers have been restored to health, happiness, and lives of usefulness after they had falled to get rellef from any other source.”* Dr. Walker has @ handsome suite of apart- Wents at 1411 Peausylvania avenue, consisting of Feception rooms, private offices and laboratory. His Office hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and yet he finds time to make special appointments with Parties who find those hours inconvenient. He Blso personally conducts an extensive correspand- Puce with patients outside of the city, as he makes B.specialty of treatment by mail, On the 18th of next month there will be inaugurated in this vicinity, it is @cpect- ed, the greatest race meeting since the paimiest days of the old Ivy City track, when, under the auspices of the National Jockey Club, some of the greatest races in the history of the American turf were run. The new track will be that of the Virginia Jockey Club, situated just this side of Alexandria. The club is composed of several Virginia men, and several from New York, ex-Mayor Downman of Alexan- dria being its president, and H. D. Mcin- tyre, secretary of the Brooklyn Jockey Club, its secretary. Mr. McIntyre was sec- retary of the old National Jockey Club of this city, and is recognized as one of the best race authorities of the country. At the invitation of Mr. McIntyre a re- porter of The Star yesterday visited the track in company with a number of racing people from New York, among whom were Supt. Frank T. Clark the Coney Island Jockey Club, Supt. Brush of the Brooklyn Jockey Club, A. Hl. Daniel, the betting commissioner of the Dwyer brothers; Thos. F. Eagan and others. The track was found to be about ready for its top dress- ing, and was pronounced by Messrs. Clark and rush, acknowledged experts In the building of race tracks, to be as near per- fection as could weil be. It is shaped like @ figure 6, the cval being six furlongs, with @ straight-away shute of two furlongs. The track is 65 feet wide, with grandly made turns 70 feet in width. the start- ing post on the shute to the first turn there is a gradual fall of several inches, but so eveniy done that it is hardly perceptible to the eye. On the back stretch there is a slight rise to the second turn, from which the fall ts again reached. While resting on a solid foundation, the track is quite elastic, and so_ perfectly drained by means of a doubié drain that it is hardly affected by rainfalls. From the quarter stretch a full view of every horse can at alb times during the progress of a race be had, there being no obstructions whatever to the view. The track was pro- nounced by the -acing experts yesterday to be one which wili be found lightning fast, and the prediction was made that more than one record would be shattered there- on. The engineering work was done by Civil Engineer J. E. Sickles, and the grad- ing and cutting by Centractor Wm. H. Palmer. Both of them are Alexandria county men, and they were warmly con- sgratulated upon their success. Grand Stand Stables. The grand stand, which will be completed in a few days, is situated on the north side of the track, something unusual in the lo- cation of such racing buildings. It will be two stories in height, and will contain 2,500 chairs. Beneath it will be the great betting ring and the restaurants. From the stand a maguificent view of the Poto- mac and the surrounding hills of Virginia is obtained, and it will contain every con- venience for the comfort of visitors, the comZort and convenience of the gentler sex being particularly well cared for. The track is situated at St. Asaph’s junction, being about fifteen minutes’ run from the Baltimore and Potomac station in this city. By means of a shute from the main track, race trains will be run from the main track directly to the grand stand, about 100 yards distant, through a covered walk, so that racegoers can virtuaily step from the trains to the grand stand and quarter stretch. Stables capable of easily accommodating 500 horses have been erected. With one ex- ception tnese stable bulidings are situated Peterman’s Roach Food.

In the spring racing will be resumed on the Ist of March, or as soon thereafter as the weather will permit, and continued until the opening of the eastern racing season, May 15. The racing will be conducted under the rules and patronage of the American Jockey Club, the successor of the board of control, and all the eastern racing officials will be engaged. The board of stewards will be composed of the most prominent people here, and nothing will be omitted to secure clean, honest racing by the best horses in training. On the opening day -the program will be particularly attractive, and the club has authorized Secretary McIntyre to offer a purse of $7,500 for a race between Clifford, Domino and Henry of Navarre. The own- ers of Domino and Henry of Navarre have already consented to run their horses, and Mr. McIntyre stated yesterday that there was little doubt of Clifford running. The program for the first few days of the meet- ing is expected to be ready on Thursday or Friday of this week, and it will be so arranged as to attract the very best horses in training.

Manager Schmelz has signed Frank House- man of Chicago to play second base for Washington. He has a phenomenal record —in an obscure club. Scheibeck has been allowed to go home and Mohler of the St. Joe team will take his place in St. Louis. His engagement bas already been spoken of in The Star. The Baltimores have begun the cry of umpire. The Sun says today: The Giants and Umpire Keefe managed to defeat the tail-enders by one run yesterday. In thirty-six games Joe Sullivan of the Fhiladelphias has failed but twice to make his little hit, and Washington let him go for a player like Scheibeck. President Wagner is expected tomorrow. Six members of the Washington foot ball team practice at the ball grounds every day. The season opens here October 5. LATEST BASE BALL SCANDALS. Using Money as an Incentive in Win- ning Games. Unfortvnately for the national game the New York newspapers seem determined to take from the Baltimore club all the credit of winning the base ball championship. Ke- cently it was claimed that the other league nines allowed the Baltimores to win, in or- der to beat out the New Yorks. It was a silly charge, and hard to prove or disprove. Now the New Yorks are charging the Bal- timores with attempting to bribe the Pitts- burgs and the Clevelands to lose. ‘The first story was that Pitcher Ehret was promised money to drop a game to the Baltimores. Then it was said that the Baltimores had given him $100 for pitching a winning game against the New Yorks. It was charged that Ehret had compelled the Baltimore captain to give him $100 to prevent his “peaching.”” This Ehret denied in an afti- davit. The story that the Baltimores gave him money for winning against the New Yorks is admitted by the Baltimores. There is nothing dishonorable in it, but it was in- judicious. The charm of base ball to the Public is that it is played for the mere glory of winning. Base ball patrons will not ap- Prove the practice of a club paying an- other club to play well. The New York pa- pers say that it might just as well pay them to play dadly or to lose, but this is so ab- surd as to need no notice. The difference between the two is palpable. The New York papers accuse the Baltl- more players, and espacially Joe Kelley, of offering Ehret $500 not to do his best against the Baltimoré club. On this subject a spe- cial dispatch from Cleveland last night says: “The members of the Baltimore club and Manager Hanlon are much incensed over the reports being published in the New York papers that the Baltimore club has been using unfair methods in the west. There is absolutely no truth in the stories to attain victory, of course, and President Frank DeH. Robison of the Cleveland club tonight expressed his contempt in unmeasured terms of those who accused him and other western club officials of being capable of selling games. Joe Kelley is up in arms over the report that he offered Ehret of the Pittsburgs $500 to drop a game to Baltimore. Kelley says he knows the author of the story, and that he intends to demand a per- sonal explanation.” JOCKEY SIMMS SUSPENDED. An Inauspicious Opening Day at Je- rome Park. Yesterday was a discouraging day at the opening at Jerome Park, at New York. Only twenty out of forty-two entries went to the post. In the handicap all were scratched but Banquet and Sir Excess. The two went away at a slow pace amid the Jeers of the spectators, and when they reached the grand stand in the back stretch the hooting was louder than had been heard on a track in years. It had no ef- fect on the jockeys, for they fairly walked their horses around the clubhouse turn av3 never tried to race until the stretch was reached, when both made a rush and they finished with Sir Excess three parts of a length in the lead, amid the hooting and hissing of the crowd. In the match between Harry Reed and Gotham, in which Reed was an odds-on favorite, Gotham tried to bite Harry Reed several times. Simms rode so close to Goth- am that Taral had to pull up for fear of going over a fence. Gotham did not get near Harry Reed at the end. Shouts of foul were heard, and the stewards dis- qualified Harry Reed, gave the race to Gotham, fined Simms $200 and suspended him for the rest of the meeting.

A story that Louisyifle is to leave the league and become a member of the West- ern League next year came out at T.ouis- ville yesterday. The story is that the league has given the Louisvife managers for the franchise and will place it as it sees fit, probably in Milwaukee. Muwiager Barnie and President Stuky decline to af- firm or deny the story. The story con- tinues that the big leagye is to be reduced from twelve to ten clubs, St. Louis and Cincinnati going into the Western Lrague, leaving Pittsburg, Chicago Cleveland and Milwaukee in the west,/to which will be added ‘Washington for cottventence of sched- ules. * object of this, it Is asserted, ts to reduce the cost of traveling expenses of the teams remaining, being on a line ‘hat can be so scheduled as to Save ‘ong jumps, the clubs more nearly following one another in succession. SEE ESS PROF, SHORTLIDGE’S TRIAL, It is Postponed Until Tomorrow, When Insanity Will Be Pleaded. The trial of Prof. Swithin C. Shortlidge for having killed his wife on Sunday, De- cember 31, 1803, at Media, Pa, has been postponed until tomorrow. e The defense will be that Prof. Shortlidge shot his wife while insane. This fact has been already certified to by the coroner's jury and by a commission appointed last winter to inquire into the case. Every one who knows Prof. Shortlidge knows that he must have been rendered irresponsible by insanity when he caused the death of his beautiful and devoted young wife, whom he had married only six weeks before the tragedy. No one doubts that the judgment of court and jury will be that the untfor- tunate prisoner 1s not guilty. ‘The killing of Mrs. Shortage by her hus- band was one of tne must discressing tra,e- dies in the nistory of Pennsyivama. Prot. Shoruidge married Miss Marie Lixon Jones in November, 15¥s. She had veen a teacher in Wilson Colieye, at Chambersvurg, Ya. She was a very veauuful girl, was twenty- seven years old and had earned an exceilent reputation as an educaior. Frof. Savrt- lage was more than nity years of age at the time of the marruge. te was the founder and head of the shortiidge Media Academy, a preparatory school, where young men were litied fur cuilege. A severe attack of rip following a period of overwork of account of nancial compli- cations prostrated Prof. Shortiidge at the time of his marriage. Nursed by his de- voted bride he siowly regained his health, although it was evident that his reason was impaired. Nevertheless nobody suspected his mental trouble would lead to violence. He and his wife went walking on Sunday morning, December 31. ‘They were aivne. Four pistol shots were heard in a grove not far from their home. Those who ran to the scene found Mrs. Shortlidge dead on the ground, her husbanus body across hers. ‘The professor was delirious, and he fought those who tried to tear him from the body of his wife. It was only after exerting a great deal of force that they succeeded in taking Prof. Shortlidge home. It was found that all he wore was his night shirt, a pair of drawers and shoes, together with a long vister. For more than a day the man raved in his delirium, constantly calling his wife. ‘The coroner's jury, after hearing ample medical and lay testimony, found the homi- cide was the result of insanity, Judge Clayton appointed two physicians and a lawyer—Capt. Iseac Johnson of Media, ex- Mayor Forwood and Br. Jefferis—a commis- sion to inquire into Phof. Shortlidge’s condi- tion. They found that he was insane when he killed ‘his wife. 3. 1 Prof, Shortlidge comes of Quaker ances- try. He was gradvateil ftom Harvard Col- lege, and he is widely. known as one of the gentlest and best of men, of refinement and culture. a_i oe The Missing Newcomb) of Petersburg. A special dispatch; {to The Star from Petersburg, Va., data the 24th, says: On the 10th of this month Jesse M. Newcomb, a prominent merchant of Petersburg, and who was a member of th¢ city council, left here by rail for Baltimore to purchase goods. Tonight two Weeks ago a telegram was received here stating(that he was miss- ing from the steamer Alabama of the Bay line of steamers while dn its way from Baltimore to Norfolk. “Nothing has since been heard from the missing man, and he is believed by his family either to have been drowned or foully dealt with. Ever since his sudden disappearance his store has been closed, it being believed by Mr. New- comb’s family that he was dead. Today they had an administrator appointed on his estate. The administrator is Mr. Richard D. Gilliam, who qualitied this morning be- fcre Judge J. M.

And why shouldn't they? Being artificiasiy digested it virtually forces nour- ishment upon the system, regardless of what may be the condition of the natural digestive organs. Further than this, it possesses the power to digest other foods in the stomach. It is, therefore, little wonder that those who take it not only experience immediate relief from the distress which has here- tofere followed their meals, but rapidly gained in weight. Nothing equals ft for building up sound, healthy flesh, enriching the blood and imparting new ‘strength. It is jast the thing for thin, weak peo- ple who get no benefit from the food they eat and who are discouraged by the failure of medicine to help them, Delicate stomachs cannot stand sickening oils and other fatty mixtures. Paskola has replaced them. It is easily taken and pleasant to the taste. Ask your druggist for a bottle and try it. ‘The practical reso derived from the use of Paskola are well demonstrated by the foNowing statements from a few of the many who have used it with entire satisfaction during the past thirty dass: Mr. A. Alexander of Taylor, Texas, says: “I am now using the second bottle of Paskola and find myself greatly improved. My appetite is better than it has been for years, and since I have been using Paskola I have gained five (6) pounds." Mrs. Fred Groves of Miamiville, Ohio, writes under date of August 16 to the following effect: “When I began to take Paskola I did mot think that it would de me any good and had made up my mind to quit using medicines and let nature take its course. I accidentally got hold of one of your Httle books and decided ta give pre-digested food a trial. I have taken four bottles and never felt better in my Iife. I do not know how much I have gained in flesh, but I do know that I can eat anything I want and slecp soundly at night. My friends all remark upon my improved appearance. Dr. Alexander Hunt of Mud River, Kentucky, has been testing the preparation in the case of his Uttle granddaughter, two years old. The child was nothing but a skeleton when he commenced giving her Paskola, amd in two weeks she gained ine (9) pounds, and, tn his own language, “is now fat, red and rosy.” In fact, she enjoys the best of health. Paskola is kept by all druggists and the Pre- Digested Food Co., No. 30 Reade street, New York, its proprietors, will be giad to supply a free pamph- Jet on the subject of food and digestion upou appli- cation.
