That Is Xrpfltd Is Bright Sui:-hlilue-First
Day of Legitimate
Racing; in the liat Entries for
the Day uml Times Tips.
The beacon of legitimate racing In the
liaBt will be Inaugurated at Benning to
day, and the only thing needed to make
the opening meeting a great success is
good weather. There are plenty of horses
to contest for the -stake and purse events,
and the class of the ct-ntestants will be
first late. Thcgrand stand, clubhouse and
fences have all been newly painted and
the tender green of new turf and budding
trees will lend a beautiful and appropriate
setting to Hie spring bonnets and dresses
which Washington beauties will surely dis
play in honor of the poptdar jockey club.
The club has made a game uphill fight
ever since the first meeting under the
present management and every lover of
line horse flesh and pluck hopes for a de
gree of financial success commensurate
with the racing success that the efforts of
the "Washington Jockey Club have assured
for the spjlng meeting of 1897.
Nothing has been left undone. .Stake
events well worth winning by any stable
and liberal purses are offered to attract
the owners, white hurdle races and steeple
chases are plentifully interspersed to draw
the "Washington crowd, which, masculine
and feminine, can always be depended on
for plenty of good sporting blood.
It is a pity that the local authorities
in charge have assumed that tlie proper
time to fix the road leading to the race
track is immediately preceding the meet
ing. This assumption has induced them to
cover it with cartloads of soft earth dur
ing the pa.ut few days, and heavy driving,
with deep dust or deep mud to choose
between, according to the weather, will le
our lot.
About hotel lobbies last night many of
the regulars were on hand. M attic Corbctt
and J. J. Maguire were at the Shoreham,
as was also Robert I'inkerton, whom the
Jockey Club employs to attend all meet
ing held under its direction, to see that
none of the public money gets into any
hands but the bookmakers' who are proi
crly entitled to it. George Whcelock, who
remembers Washington very well, since
he stood in the ring last fall and saw Tre
inargo, on whom he had $8,000 at 1 to 4,
left at tbe post, and Sol Lichenstein 'Jire
at the Arlington. Sam Doggett got in
about i) o'clock and went to the Raleigh,
where M I)wyer arrived by a later train.
Doggett looks tanned and well and is
evidently at his usual professional weight.
Orlando Jones and Dave Gideon were ex
pected at the Cochran but had notariivtl
at a late hour.
The meeting, which opens today, will
last until next Saturday, giving seven
days raciag. Each day there will be
run a stake event worth from $750 to
$1,200, and either a hurdle race or steeple
chase. Starting will be by the machine
and the. well-tried Pettingill -will officiate
at the barrier. Clarence McDowell will
be presiding judge and S. S. Howland and
Jesse Brown, stewards. The death of
Thomas Drauey last week left a vacancy
In the office of clerk of the course and
H. G. Cuckman will officiate. Horses will
be called to the post at 3:15 each day
for the first race. There are aKut U50
horses at the track. Most of them make
their first start this season at Helming,
but there are several which have been
earning oats at New Orleans and in the
past horses of this class have always been
formidable, as their condition is usually
excellent.
Among these, Reagan's two-year-old.
Sly Fox, has shown stake form, having
twice beaten Van Antwerp, the New Or
leans champion two-year-old, which re
cently beat all the crack .youngsters at
Newport.
Of the Jockeys, Sims will bo absent, as
lio will continue to ride at the "Western
meetingsrorsome weeks. Dogirett.O'Leary,
Hamilton, TJttlefield, Coyloand Powers will
bo seen In the saddle here, possibly Taral
also.
The card for today has filled well and
good contests are assured in nearly every
race. Most Interest centers In the Arling
ton Stakes, for two-year-olds, in which
seven are carded to start. Such fine ro

The Search Medicine Company were de
nied the use of the mails because of a
puzzle put out by them a week ago, ad
vertising their medicines, and which tech
nically came within the lottery law. That
there "was no wrong intent is shown by
the fact that although their mail was for
a time delayed, it lias all been delivered
to them, and thev have so amended their
otter that they now have postal permission
over the autograph signature or the Hon.
John L. Thomas, Assistant Attorney Gen
eral of the Postoffice Department, be
neath their personal offer. It will be
noted that their answer to the puzzle has
alo been deposited I it a trust company for
safe-keeping until July 1, when it will
be mailed by the trust company to the
Postmaster General, who, inereby, has
it in his power to see that all have a fair
chance to solve the puzzle, and get their
just reward. The aluminum thimble which
is given to every one who tries to solve
tho puzzle is certainly a prize in itself.
Thut it Is to be carried out in good rnith,
is attended iiy the Tact that tne correct
answer has been deposited with the Union
Trust Company, or Philadelphia, as per

or all the above conditions by the Search

Larissa, April 1G. Advices have been

the town of Kritadcs after a seveie en

to retreat after sustaining a heavy loss.
It is stated that at leust eighty Moslems
were killed, -while twenty-five were mado

captured 150 rifles and a quantity of
ammunition. No mention is made of any
losses on the part of the Greeks.

GH EAT BRITAIN'S SHAMI3.
Gladstone Itefers to Her Compe
tency and "Disgraceful Office."
London, April 10.- A letter is published
here, written by .Mr. Gladstone to Uampzcs,
a prominent Macedonian leader. In It Mr.
Gladstone says:
"1 have often seen the question debated
to what state .Macedonia, when I lie day of
her liberation comes, should be annexed,
and how she should be divided, but I have
never heard any sufficient reason why, as
Bulgaria has gone to the Bulgarians and
Servia to tiie Servians, Macedonia should
not become a free state for the .Macedon
ians. But we seem far, indeed, from being
able to raihe effectually a question of this
kind at. a time when we appear ignomln
iously incompetent to deal even with the
questions opened for us and forced upon
our notice.
"You might, and Hellenes might count
upon the sympathy of the people of this
country, and in most matters, when you
have the sympathies of this people, you
can count upon the action of our govern
ment, but it Is not the people orthcgoveni
ment of Great Britain that are directing
the course of the Cretan und Greek ques
tions. !
"Under the present deplorable scheme
all our government has to do is to plead
its opinions as H it were before a tribunal
of those youthful despots, the emperors of
Germany and Russia, and to abide by
and help execute their final determina
tions. They tow Austria behind them aud
through one of the two have a resistless
hold uiKiii France.
"Our disgraceful office seems to be to
place our ships and guns and soldiers and
sailors at their disposal for tin; purpose of
keeping down the movement for liberty
in Crete, and securing to these young
despots, who have in no way earned tho
confidence of Europe the power of deciding
questions which, in point of right, belong
to the Cretaus to decide."
PASSES ITS SECOND HEADING.
The Bill Appropriating Money for
War Purposes.
Athens, April 16. The bill appropriating
23,000,000 drachmas for the use of the
ministries oT war and marine passed its
second reading in the Boule today.
M. Delyannis introduced a bill enabling
the government to issue treasury bonds to
the amount of 1G, 000,000 drachmas, and
another empowering privilege banks to Is
sue 6,000,000 drachmas in currency to
replace damaged notes in the treasury. "

her purse from her hand and ran up the

attempted to hide. The purse -was re
covered by Policeman Mathews In an

CANNOT LOCATE HER TEETH
Stella Burke's Condition Is a Very
Pitiful One.
Suffers Hut Little Pain, But Able
to Articulate Only In "Whispers.
Case Puzzles the Surgeons.
Stella Burke, the young girl who swal
lowed her false teeth while asleep several
nights ago, was again placed under the x
ray yesterday, but owing to the bi caking
of one of the tubes a pictuie could not he
obtained. On the flist trial the negative
failed to develop pioperly. The physicians
will endeavor to locate the missing molars
tills morning by means of a i.iobe, which
will be inn down the gill's tlnoat. For
the past two days Dr. Lawrence has been
treating the patient so as to harden the ali
mentary canal .in. order to permit this
operation in case the x-ray failed to work
In the meantime the physicians have sent
to Philadelphia for an additional tube, and
an additional test of the machine will be
made tomorrow in aim of lalluie of the
probe.
The case is a peculiar one, and tends to
somewhat puzzle tlie surgeons. The girl
suffers but little pain, but is really in a
pitiful condition. She can only articulate
in whispers, and is compelled toentliquhl
food. It 1b believed that the plate must
have lodged somewhere in the passage
from the acsophagus to the mouth of the
stomach, as in case it had readied the lat
ter organ such a non-digestible substance
as a set of ivories would produce Intense
pain and suffering. In any event, wherever
the mlMng molars may lie found, an opera
tion is altogether likely, and this fact is
what makes tho tase a serious one.
SCULPTOR DUNBAR'S SUIT
Interesting Case injustice O'Neill's
Little Court.
Franlc L. Evnus Sued for Instruc
tion Given His Sou A Itefusal to
Pose "In the Altogether."
The suit Instituted by M.S. Dunbar, the
well-known sculptor, against Prank T.
Evans to recover the sum of $l"i0, which lie
deviates is due him for inst ruction given
the defendant's fon, Rudolph Kvans, came
up for trial before Justice O'Neill yesterday
afternoon.
The li faring developed tome unusual fea
tures, and in view of the perplexities of
he case decision was reserved.
From the 'testimony it appeared that
young Evans had at one time taken lessons
m sculpture' from Mr. Dunbar, for which
his father had paid in full.
Afterward," accoidlug to Sculptor Dun
bar, an agreement was enteied into by
which the young man should be practi
cally apprenticed' to him, and for the
first year the .sculptor was to leceive .$100.
the second year $30, and the ttiird year
his services should pay for the instruction
gained .
Mr. Dunbar said he placed all possible
help iu the boy's way to assist him in
gettiug commissions for which he should
receive pay, as he knew he needed tho
money.
At one time lie said he helped him to
obtain a silting from Secretary Morton,
of tlie Agricultural Depaitmeut, for a
bust, for which he was well paid.
A year and a half after the beginning
of the iKiy's instruction, he said he re
quested him to perform some slight
service, which the boy refused to do.
He, thereupon, sent him home, and shortly
thereafter he presented his father with a
bill of instruction. This, Mr. Evans re
fused to pay.
Mr. Evans, in his own defense, stated
that tticre had never been a contruet by
which lie "was to pay for his sou's in
struction, and that he understood his sou's
services were to lie tlie only pay demanded
by the sculptor.
Young Evans told of his duties us helper
in the studio, and when questioned what
duty it was, he refused to perform, he said
that Sculptor Dunbar hnd requested him
to pose in the nude, which he refused to do.
After an interchange of arguments on tho
Cupid's arrows
fly straightest in
tlie light of a
clear complexion,
bright eyes and
rosy hps. The
woman who
is vigorously
healthy is sure to
'Vbe attractive.
f She will have
beauty and mag
netism of health. As she loses health,
she -will surely lose beauty. Hollows in
tlie cheeks, dullness in the eyes, muddi
ness in the complexion one or all are
sure to result from ill-health.
Nine times in ten ill-health in women
means an unhealthy condition of the or

of order. Ordinarily when a woman is
sick, she will find that the trouble is here.
Headaches, neuralgia, sleeplessness, nerv
ousness generally come from the same
cause. These things are serious, but they
can be cured. Any disease or weakness
of the female organism can be surely
and completely cured by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Thou
sands of grateful women have testified to
its beneficial results. Among them Mrs.
Roscoe Vanover, of Robinson Creek, Pike
Co., Ky., who writes;
"I wish to express yay thanks to you for the
good I have received from your 'Favorite Pre
scription.' I haye used it at different times for
the. last fiveyeara, audialwayswith themost grat
ifying results. But the greatest good received by
the 'Pavorite Prescription' was about four months
ago when my last baby .was born. I was afflicted
with 'child-bed fevef. Jn9tcad of sending after
the doctor, I used the ' Prescription ' and was
cured. A lady friend .of mine was similarly af
flicted and sent after thedoctor and took his rem
edies and died. I am now 27 years old, weigh
147 pounds, tlie mother of five children, and am
enjoying the best of health."

Order in tlie Demote RckIoiih.
The most interesting topic discussed at
the Cnlilnet meeting yesterday was the
proposition to establish a company of
United States Army regulars on the frontier
of Alaska. It is regarded hy the iiovern
ment as Important that order lie preserved
In the 1 emote mining city of Circle City
on the frozen Upper Yukon.
There is the usual simplicity of gov
ernment In Circle City that prevails in
Tiontier mining camps, and police regula
tions and Federal authority arc both sadly
wanting. The matter was not dcrtnitely
decided at the ''abinet meeting, but it
is believed that the Secretary of War will
be instructed to establish a post at or
near Citcle City and garrison it with one
company, which will be in command of an
officer of higher rank than captain.
It is an interesUng fact incident to the
proposed military establishment in Alnsku
that the Dominion government lately dis
patched troops to the frontier of the North
west territory, opposite Circle City. Thus
small companies of troops of both nations
are on hand in case of any developments
relative to conflicting claims as to the in
ternational boundary and contests over
mining claims.
ACQUITTAL OF JAMliS A. "FAIR ALL
Jury Convinced of His Innocence
Jn 11 Very Few Minutes.
James A. Fairall, who was indicted re
cently for embezzlement, was yesterday
acquitted in criminal court No. 1, before
Chief Justice Bingham, or the charge, the
Jury remaining out for a few minutes only.
Fairall was at the time of the alleged
embezzlement, iu the employ of Wilbert
Clary, a dealer in feed and flour, at the
corner of Fifteenth and L streets south
east. He had been In Mr. Clarj's service
for several years, it is stated, as a de
liverer of goods, and collector of bills.
Uis record was good, and until accused
by Mr. Clary, no charge affecting his In
tegrity hail ever been made, so far as the
evidence showed.
Mr. Clary discovered, however, as he
thought, that the money on two bills
against, customers Messrs. BiiRherandJar-boe-had
been collected by Fairall, for
which no credit had been given, and he
dismissed the collector, but -without giv
ing a reason for his action.
Later on, however, Mr. Clary published
tho accusation and procured Fairall's in
dictment. The amountsof the two alleged
thefts were, respectively, $6.75 and .$5.
Fairall testified for himself, and as proof
that he had attempted no concealment, he
admitted tho collections and showed by his
bookd thnt he had charged himself with
the money on tho dates of payment. lie
swore ho had not only reported the collec
tions, but had paid over the money with
other collections, and that Mr. Clary had
simply neglected to give credit.
Fairall then proved by a number of mer
chants that they had respectively received
bills from Mr. Clary for goods already
paid for, the effect or which was to show
that his employer's books were not ac
curately kept.
