During the past year Alexander took

became so accustomed to riding fast
when ' he was a professional cyclist
that he missed the excitement of tast

ranks of the cyclers, bo he secured a
place as fireman on. a freight train in
New Jersey. He was on a fast train
and while riding, in the engine cab ne
often fancied himself ..back on Uhe cin

his experience in riding and handling
motor machines would be of value in
driving a racing auto and in tills kind
of work he will not be handicapped
by his excessive weight.

Colonel George Crouch passed.
"I saw that chap thrash Jack Demp

he, "and ae looks younger to-day than
he did then." ' , ,
Honest John Kelly stopped, his eyes

"I thought you had been killed In
South Africa?'
' - "The doctors wouldn't stand for it,"
answered Haley,
.Mike started up Broadway. ,
His sand had been wrung helpless
by the time he got to the Gilsey.
In the cafe there he met Al Smlta

"The last time I saw you, Mr Ha

a gang of mine salters in South Dako

observed the famons square gambler.
"Funny thing . about that," said
Mike. "One of the chaps that just es

coming out of the White House.
"Heavens! said I, 'I thought you'd

who was present.
"I wouldn't take fa million an

some day." And Mr Haley tugged
away ? from the. crowd,, got aboard a
car and went up to the Metropole,
where he is stopping.
-like Haley is a universal good fel

away to the war, became a boxer,
licked Jack Burke, the Ir'sh Lad;
Mike Conley, the Ithaca Giant, and
fought two draws and got one eight

was one of the best 140 pound men
that ever put on a gloTe twenty-five

"Haley was a savage in the old ring
days," said a sporting man yesterday,
''but he has one of the gentlest hearts
that ever beat in a sportsman's

JEFFRIES IS STOUT.

he Is not careful, he will outgrow any

He' is now on h's way to Harbin

This question of his heft Jeffries is
loath to discuss. , 1
"I am not worrying about the weight
question, or any othpr. for that mat
ter.", said Jeffries. "It makes no dif
ference to me how much I weigh. The
only thing I trv to do is to get good.
When I get to that stage it is a matter
of .indifference whether I weigh 240
or 190." - -

John li. Sullivan thinks he is en

of the championship belt which was

it was presented to him. The belt
was recently sold by his "uncle," with
whom he had left it for a loan of
$1,800. ?
When John L. heard that the belt
had been sold he made inquiries and
was informed by some one that It had
realized $2,900. He decided that all
the money above the principal and in
terest, with the cost of the sale, should
come his way. The ex-champion con

the lawyer sent a communication to
the pawnbroker, making a demand ior
the surplus.

that Just $4 was coming to the "big

CARTER HANDICAP,
Beldame Hands Dotve,
1 NEW YORK, April JL6 The Cartet
handicap was the attraction that drew
between 15,000 and 20,000 persons to
Aqueduct, when the Metropolitan rac
ing season was opened In a fitting way.
ftewtoa Bennin&tpn's filly Beldame
carried off the handicap and In doing
io practically led from start to finish.
She waa never In difficulties, and
O'Nell, who had the mount, bad only to
shake- her up a bit at the end to win
easily. Peter Paul, the public favorite,
was seconddriving, and Wotan, who
came out of the buoch in the stretch,
was third. The time, 1:27, was within
a Second of the record for the stake.
The track was in first class condition,
fcut the weather was cold. Of the
twenty-two. carded to go in the handi
cap five were scratched, leaving seven
teen of the best to face the starter.
S'here was a long delay at the post
owing to Rosetint'o bad actions, but
finally Starter Fitzgerald let them go
to a poor break. O'Nell shot his monat,
Beldame, to the front, opening up a
gap of two lengths in the first quarter.
Spring raced to the second place, with
peter Paul third and the others trailing
badly. Rounding the f af turn Bel

Peter Paul, with Itosetmt in third
place, Spring having dropped back

As the field swung into the stretch
the crowd began to yell for the favor

Wotan shot out of the buneh and made

THEY KEEP THEIR NERVE,
Engineers cn Fast Trains Have Too
Much, to Do to Worry About
Possible Accidents.
"Speaking of railroad wrecks," said
the commercial traveler in the smoking
compartment of the Pullman car, ac
cording to the Chicago Inter Ocean, "my
observation leads me to believe they are
due to the fact that the nerves of the en
giners are brought to such a high ten
sion after a number of bad accidents
that they lose control of themselves."
, "That's just where you are wrong,"
quietly said a gray-haired man with a
tanned, weather-beaten face, who sat
near the window smoking a cigar, T
think you will all credit me with know
ing what I am talking about, as I have
been a railroad engineer for the last 30
years, have run all kinds of engines,
from a' mine dummy to a hundred-ton
paseenger engine with a seven-foot
wheel, and have railroaded on all the
principal lines in the United States.
"The majority of people seem to have
the idea that the engineer of a fast train
is always in fear of run-ins and colli
sions, and that he is under such a nerv
ous strain that he sometimes has to be
lifted from the cab when he reaches the
end of his run. That isn't so. An en
gineer has too many duties, ' such aa
watching his signals,, keeping water In
his boiler, and seeing that be l&on sched
ule time, to have much time to worry
himself about accidents that are likely
to happen. As Jong as he pays the prop
er attention to his own train he knows
that is all he can do, and that if anything
goes wrong it is beyond -hi control. So
he doesn't take up any of his time worry r
ing. Accidents will happen,' no matter
how much care is taken to prevent them,
and sometimes there can't be found any
reason for them; but you may be sure
that they are never caused through the
engineer losing his nerve."
THE PAY SINGERS RECEIVE.
It Is Thought That Hot a Dozen
American Vocalists Clear Ten
Thousand a Year. J
After years of hard, uphill struggle
and study a singer may be recognized
as successful, says Leslie's Monthly.
What is her reward? .The .season , is
short, a few weeks of fall festivities, a
week or two of Christmas concerts, and
a few weeks of spring fs&tlvities, with
a sprinkling of individual concerts be
tween times, make up the list of her
opportunities. When she obtains an
engagement there is much more prep
aration necessary than rubbing up . her
knowledge of the work to be given,
and singing the rehearsal often pub
lic with" the local chorus the day or
the afternoon before the performance.
She must watch for draughts; a cold
would disable her completely. She
must be constantly careful of the at
mosphere she breathes.
She receives lnv compensation two,
three or four hundred dollars, from
which must be deducted many expenses.
There are probably not a dozen Ameri
can concert and oratorio singers who
clear $10,000 a year from singing, In
cluding $1,000 or $1,500 they receive
from church or Synagogues, And the
study and work they did at the start
was only a beginning of study and
work they must do all their life. Of
the rest, a few make a considerable
amount of money by being invited to
wealthy private houses, singing for
people there and receiving checks the
next day for their Kindness, The vast
majority of the remainder exist on
twenty-five and fifty ' dollar concert
work, or take to teaching, or drift Into
comic opera, or in the end weary of it
all and do something else.

THE LIFE OF A BATTLESHIP.
First-Class Fighting Vessel Costs
Sight Million Dollars and i
Xasts But 12 Years.
A modern navy is not on of the
cheap luxuries, says the Pathfinder.
Senator Hale stated that the navy de
partment proposed to retire the battle
ships Oregon, Indiana, Massachusetts
and Texas to the purposes of coast de
fense in 1908. The Oregon was
launched only in 1896. so that her life
as a first-class fighting ship will ' be
only twelve years.
Tho Oregon; cost $5,000,000, but . the
battleships now are costing J8.000.000.
Any warship now becomes virtually
obsolete in a dozen or fifteen years,
and we must figure on practically re
placing our navy at the end of that
period. A merchant steamer lasts on
the average 20 years.
It Is well known that the big naval
guns are also very short-lived. The
biggest ones are worthless after a
hundred shots. The metal becomes
crystallized by the sfcoelt of te ex
plosion and loses its tensile strength,
thus making it dangerous. Hence a
bombardment costs not only in the
ammunition used, but even more In
the wear and tear on the gun, itself.
Naval authorities speak of these things
lightly, for it is not their own money
that is being spent, but as a matter
of fact a warship is the most ix
