CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—Only three of the six starters finished in the Emerald steeplechase over the short course, which was the feature of the Hawthorne card to-day. Handvice, at 7 to 2, proved the easlest kind of a winner, pulled to a walk, with six lengths to spare over Falella. The three which met with mishaps were Slap Dash and Moranda, both of which fell, and Joe McGee, which broke down badly and was pulled up. In the fall of Slap Dash Jockey Morrison was serious- 1y injured. Judge Himes. which probably has no equal in the West as a mud runner, picked up 114 pounds In the fourth race and made a show of his field, winning by three lengths in a common gallop.

G. Durfee, the lessee of Sweet Marle, which is owned by William Garland of Los Angeles. The judges charged Durfee with pulling Sweet Marie and allowing Dr. Hammond to take the heat. On ac- count of the value of S8weet Marie, Durfee would not allow the substitution of an- other driver, and withdvew her. This the judges maintain he had no right to do. It is expected both Durfee and the mare will be ruled off the tracks of the Ameri- can Trotting Association.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS. 'Twas just like a peep into the dim past to see the venerable Phil Knell, once the pride of Pittsburg, mount the mound vesterday at Recreation Park. A mighty cheer went up as soon as the fans spotted the man who used to electrify many of them in days gone by. The old man did his work well-so well that the home team succumbed by a score of 4 to 3. He looked like the same Phil who was a twinkling star when most of the pres- ent performers of this league were view- ing ball games through knotholes or else were being wheeled around ingbaby car- riages. With all the years his good left arm has not lost any of its cleverness, though his wonderful speed seems to have forsaken him. In every inning the old-timer had the home ,players on his staff. They got a run in the fourth on an error and a bad play by Townsend, but they made no hits. In the ninth inning Delmas walked. As the fans were getting ready to leave the place Henry Lynch advanced with his club and without any ceremony hit the ball out of the lot over the left field fence. It was the longest drive of the year and possibly the longest in the history of the grounds, barring one made by *Chiek” Stahl of Boston back in '97. It was too bad that there were not more runners on the bags at the time. As it was two were out and the next man up, Pat Meany, did not make good with a safe drive, =o it was all over then and the fans had to go home. The Senators landed on the offerings of James, the deep sea monster, in the third for two hits and a run. The home team tied up this in their half of the same round when Eagan erred and Townsend made a stupld play by throwing Lynch's bunt to third when there was no chance to head off the runner. In the fourth spasm Sheehan and Doyle both hit safely and were advanced on an out by Graham. Then just to show he was there with the stick as well as the wing, old Phil soused out a hit to right fleld and brought them both in. Irwin's error and an out gave the Sen- ators one more in the ninth. This lone tally proved the winning run, for had it not been scored Lynch's drive would then have tied the result up.

In the second class six teams are en- tered, while in the third but three will figure. All of the teams in both classes are evenly matched and some close con- tests are anticipated. The entry list in the men's handicap doubles tournament for Sunday is a rec- ord-breaker. Thirty-two teams entered, the largest In the history of tennis on the coast. The cups were won by R. N. Whitney and Jules Brady on the last occasion. 1uey have been won also by Routh and Dunlap, Clinch and McKay, the Hotch- kiss brothers twice and Allen and Smith. The Hotchkiss brothers will not play in future. Smith and Allen, the most heav- ily shandicapped team, did not enter. The teams playing from scratch are Routh and Dunlap and the Baker broth- ers. This will be the first appearance of the latter as a doubles team on the pub- lic courts. They made a good record at the University of California and are con- sidered to have the best chance of win- ning. Their game is betfer suited to han- dicap conditions than is that of Routh and Dunlap.

This at- tractive company of little people showed to excellent advantage in the beautiful Japanese idylic musical comedy. It was beautifully staged and costumed. The scenery was painted in Kobe, especially for the lilliputians when they were tour- ing Japan four months ago. It is very handsome and picturesque and naturally Japanesque in the extreme. In fact, the whole atmosphere of the performance smacks of the land of the home of the chrysanthemum. The piece is well acted and sung throughout, none of the musical numbers being omitted. Miss Alice Pollard was a very graceful and dainty O Mimosa San and sang her two os, ‘“‘Amorous Goldfish” and “Jewel of Asia,” charmingly. Little Daphne Pollard reveled in the role of Mollie Seymour. The part is exactly suited to her style and she captivated her audience from the start by her cute antics and winning ways. She was irresistible in “The Toy Duet’ with Ivy Pollard and was very funny in her solo, “Monkey on a Stick.” Fred Pollard was in fine voice and sang his solo, “Star of My Soul,” so well that he received a double encore. As was to have been expected, little Teddy McNamara, as Tom Stanley, caused a laugh every time he made a speech. He was one of the funniest char- acters in the whole show. Irene Goulding was a capital Dick Cun- ningham in every way. She 1 acted well and sang her solo, Boy,” in a rollicking fashion. The chorus was up to the mark and was thoroughly well trained and drilled. “The Geisha” will be given to-night, Saturday night and at the matinee to- morrow, when a photograph of Iittle Daphne Pollard will be presented to every child in the house. —_—— Seawell Amends Findings. On motion of Assistant City Attorney Brobeck and without the taking of any evidence, Judge Seawell yesterday amend- ed his findings in the suit of J. A. Whit- ney to declare the recent special tax levy for new schoolhouses and a new city and county hospital invalid.

He declded the case in Whit- ney's favor, solely on the latter issue, —_———— Treasurer’s Accounts Short.

There is, we believe, some expggeration in the widespread idea that the physique of our population is declining. All through history. every successive generation has indulged in that fancy, and of all gen- erations this is the one that loves most to hunt out and display evils to be rem- edied. People forget that every popula- tion on earth deposits a sediment, a pro- portion of weaklings, imbeciles and un- dersized folk, which is fixed by some law of which we know nothing. and which increases rather than diminishes as so- cial safety improves, as sanitary sclence advances and as pity for the weak be- comes a more active virtue. The rickety, who once died like flies, now tend to re- main alive. With the enormous Increase of our population the positive number of such persons becomes more and more visible, till gbservers fancy that some evil change must have passed over the pop- ulation. They see the hundred loafers in the street, and forget the thousand toll- ers in the factory. The Improvement in the physique of the well-to-do also, which is so great that the majority cannot put on anclent armor, and which reaches so far down that, as the Bishop of Ripon pointed out in tre Lords recently, the average height of Englishmen has In- creased by three-quarters of an inch in thirty yvears, accentuates the apparent de- fects of the weakly, just as the multitude of tall girls now seen in a ballroom ac- centuates the lowliness of the short. There s a disposition, too, among the cultivated, which does not, we fancy, ex- ist among those who work, to make too much of mere bulk. They forget that the Chinese are among the strongest of mankind, and disbelieve when told that the Roman soldiery were, as a rule_little men, perhaps three inches shorter than the Gauls they conquered. Again, we dare assert that a regiment of London costermongers would, unarmed, probably defeat an unarmed regiment of Bis- marck’s Pomeranians and overthrow with their hands a regiment of Sikhs, with their remarkable average of height. We have on this subject, as on most others, to rid ourselves of some prejudices be- fore we can arrive at the facts, and to recognize that in muscle, as in less meas-- urable things, quantity and quality are not necessarily identical.—London Gazette. ————— QUIT WHINING AND GO TO WORK| for the Cheerful Who Lives to Be Happy. There {sn't anything in the world more disagreeable than a whining person. He whines if it is hot. He whines if it is cold. He whines at this, he whines at that, he whines at everything. Whine, whine, whine. It is just a habit he has fallen into. There is nothing the matter with him. It is just a bad habit. The whiner 1s generally an idle person or a lazy one. What he needs is to be 8.t to work—at real hard work, mental or physical. Some work that wiil interest him and engage his whole attention and he will not have time to whine. We know two women. Onme of them does her own housework and takes care of her horse besides. She Is happy and singing all the day long. The keyboard of her life sounds no whining note. It is a pleasure to be with her, a’ good, wholesome tonic to watch her. The other woman is so sit- uated that she does not have to work. Nothing to do but to amuse herself. She has no zest in life, no interest in any- thing. She is a bunch of selfishness and whines at everything. Whining has be- come such a habit with her that her most casual remark is tinged with whine. She is miserable herseif and makes everybody else in her presence miserable. She Is a weakling, a parasite, a drag, a heavy weight on somebody all the time. Get the whine out of your voice or it will stop the development and growth of your body. It will narrow and shrink your mind. It will drive away your friends; it will make you unpopular. Quit your whining; brace up; g0 to work: be something; stand for something: fill your place in the universe. Instead of whining around, exciting only pity and contempt, face about and make something of your- self. Reach up to the stature of a strong, ennobling manhood, to the beauty and strength of a superb womanhood. J'n:erax :“ nolhln‘: ;hn matter with you. 'ust quit your whining and t - Medical Talk.

Attorney Garret McEnerney sprung a surprise on the attorneys for Caroline A grande during the hearing of the latter's contest of the will of the late Stanislaus Antoldi in Department 9 of the Superfor Court yesterday. He fur- nished the court a photograph copy of the will of Antoldi, made the day it was filed for probate, which plainly shows that the date line of the document, claimed by the contestant to have been inserted in the will after it had been filed, was part of the document at that time and was not absent from the will at the time the attorneys for the contestant claim it was. Further evidence will be taken In the case to-day, the contestants hoping to show that the date line, even if it was always in the will, was written by another hand than that of the de- ceased. The will disposes of an estate worth $23000. The sole legatee is Marguerite Morbio, granddaughter of the late Adolph Sutro, and godchild of the deceased. The contestant is a cousin of the deceased, who was a prominent commission man. e ——— Asks That Liability Be Limited. The North Pacific Coast Raliroad Com- pany filed a petition in the United States District Court yesterday asking that its liability as owner of the wrecked ferry steamer San Rafael be limited to the sum of $440 98, of which $400 represents the value of four iron lifeboats saved from the wreck. $37 3 prepaid passage money and $3 48 freight prepald. On November 30, 1901, the San -Rafael, while on the way from San Francisco to Sausalito, in a fog collided with the ferry steamer Sausalito and sank to the bot- tom of the bay between the foot of Hyd» street and Alcatraz Island. The petition sets forth that J. 8. McCue has begun an action in the Superior Court for $300,000 damages for alleged injuries sustaine while a passenger on board the San Ra- fael and for 301 for an alleged loss of merchandise, and that other persons may bring similar actions on similar grounds The petitioner avers that the collision was not due to any negligence on its part or on the part of its employes. —_————— A Prophetic Cigarette Case. “A novelty recently turned out by manufacturing jeweler in New York ™ states a Hewitt avenue dealer, “is a solid silver cigarette case, handsomely embel- lished with raised figures.
