horse-racing.\u201cCome to have a dollar on 7\" asked an acquaintance of the writer.; \u201cNo, I don't think so, he replied.\u2018Just merely looking on to-day !\u2019 \u2018The best thing to

right horse he took his ticket to the desk and exchanged 1t for his winaings.He did not return to say how much they were, or how they compared with his previous losses.The largest number of men who visited the betting room at one time yes terday afternono was forty-one.But they were coming and going all the time between two and five o'clock.The last race comes through about halt-past five.The gamblers were men, trades- nen, apparently, between the ages ot thirty and sixty.Some drove up In cabs; the others came and went on street cars.There was no other form of gambling to interest them except that on the horseracing.; * Any wheels 7\u2019 asked the writer.\u2018Oh, no!\u2019 was the reply.\u2018There has not been any since the place was shut down last November\u201d All betting

which was closed by the police last year, Everything has turned out as was promised, and in the light of the facts now published there can be no excuse for the authorities if they do not act.FOREST

DAY.New York, Aug.2.\u2014It is estimated that six thousand employees of lithographers in this city are placed out of employment to-day through the strike, ordered last night, of the Lithographers International Protective and Benefit Association of the United States and Canada.The striking organization is comr- posed of printers, transferers and prov- ers, without whom none of the shops can be operated.Throughout the United States and Canada alike conditions prevail, and it is estimated that thirty thousand employees of lithographic shops will be out of work or on strike, The men demand a forty-eight-hour instead of the present fifty-three-hour week.In the statement issued last night on behalf of the employers and members of the National Association of Employing Lithographers, its President, Mr.Frank A.Stecher, says: \u2018In 1904 we had a conference pending a strike.An agreement was reached which provided for the settlement of the disputes at the time and future disagreements by a conference or by arbitration.In 1905 this agreement expired, and a second was signed.By the time the latter agreement expired, in the spring, 1906, three Associations of employers had amalgamated into our present Association, and we offered to make the same agreement calling for conferences and arbitration.\u2018On July 9th the Lithographers\u2019 Protective and Benefit Association, which has a membershp of more than three thousand printers, transferers and prov- ers, who are the most necessary parts où the organization of a shop, for without them no work can be done, made a demand for a 48-hour-week, instead of the present 33-hour-week.The hesitancy of the employers to grant the demand arose out of the fact that the I shops were overwhelmed with work, and | that the restrictions placed on the shops by the unions in the small number of apprentices allowed us did not afford us enough men to work our shops on the time allowed to us.We could not get men to enlarge our forces, and we could not do work we had to do with out present forces on the 48-hour-week.\u2019 \u2014 SANDWICH NEGROES \u2014 BIG CELEBRATION AT LAGOON PARK.Sandwich, Ont., Aug.1.\u2014The colored people for miles in every direction had a monster celebration at Lagoon Park.near bere, to-day.In the afternoan « long programme was carried out, speeches were made by the Hon.R.F.Sutherland, Speaker of the House of Commons, the Mayors of Windsor, Walkerville and Sandwich, and other prominent residents, after which athletic sports were gone through with, \u2018lo-night a big banquet was given in Windsor, ending in a dance and cake walk., BE UP AND DOING._ Washington, July 31.\u2014Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte was the chief speaker to-day before the Negro Young People\u2019s Christian and Educational Congress.He discussed at length the relation between the white and black man, pointing out to the negroes that the best results which their race had attained were gained by living in peace with the white race.In conclusion he said: The \u2018Presse\u2019 declares that its offices are actually flooded with letters denouncing the proceedings resorted to by certain lawyers unworthy of their profession, to raise money from workingmen and poor people, and replying to a reproach made by a contemporary for not giving the names of the advocates | in cases previously referred to, it states that the reason is that the guilty parties while actually sinning against humanity, are wise enough to remain within the strict limits of the law.and can always make as an excuse for their harsh proce d-! ings that they are simply following the instructions given them by a client.The article then adds: \u2018Individually, the lawyer escapes criticism, but the profession itself must be held the more responsible for a revolting and oppressive state of things, contrary to the good of the country.since it knows very well the nature thereof and the remedy to be applied to make it disappear.he sil- ance kept by the Bar of Montreal, in the face of charges made, with documentary evidence, against the fleecers of small creditors, makes it an accomplice of the most contemptible persecutors of poor people.It would be sufficient for the Council of the Bar to demand at Quebec legsilation preventing such legal monstrosities and to purge for ever the province of Quebec from such a plague.The Bar never having dome anything in that direction, cannot think it strange to be held responsible for the interested cruelties committed by some of its members.Unfortunate- lv.cert:&@ facts lead to the belief that the fleecers have the protection of the Council or of some of its officers, against the fleeced -_\u2014\u2014\u2014 FIRES OF THE MONTH.According to the report of fires and fire alarms for the month of July, as issued by Superintendent Ferns of the Fire Alarm Department.the number exceeds the record of last vear by twenty-three.the past month's figures being 107.The

which you will have to compete whether you wish to or not, and which it will tax all your energy to struggle against.There is no room in America for people who can\u2019t take care of themselves, 1 am one of those who feel strongly the repeated injustice and fre quent perfidy which Jive nsrked our treatment of the Indians, but after all has been said the Indians wouidn't or couldn't, or, at all events didn't, learn how to work in competition with white men and they have been first pushed to the wall and then crushed agamst it.\u2018You must cither share their fate or profit by their example.You can\u2019t, in this country, rest and be thankful, for if you try to do this you will soon have nothing to be thankful for.The idle and sensual and benighted are never really free, and America now is a country only for freemen.\u2019 PETERBOROUGH SALOONS \u2014_\u2014 VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE ONTARIO LICENSED VICTUALLERS HAS HIS LICENSE CUT OFF._ Peterborough, Ont, Aug.2.\u2014The

and roaming at large in the Gulf of Finland, and that the commandant at (ronstadt had been notified to prepare for an attack by these vessels.Tt is worthy of note that a despatch to an official

wonderful properties of radium as revealed by the Itte Professor Curie and others, Me dwelt particularly upon the apparent facts that a small quantity of radium diffused through, the earth will maiulain its temperature against all loss by radiation, while if the sun consists ol a fraction of une percent of radium this would make good the heat annually lost by the sun.These, he said were tremendous facts, and upset all the calculations of physicists concerning the duration in the past and in the future of the sun\u2019s heat and the earth's surface, and the estimates of geological \"time based on the assumption that the material of the earth is self cooling.Within tive vears it had become evident that the material was not eelf cool ing.On the contrary.it was self-heat- ing, and away went the restrictions imposed by geologists and biologiste, who are now willing to give, not merely a thousand million years, but as many more as are wanted.Referring to psychology, Dr.Lankes- ter said the most important general advance seemed to be the realization that the mind of the human adult is a social product, and he paid a tribute to the important work on this subject by Prof.Baldwin, of Princeton University.A review of twenty-five vears led him to the conviction that Darwin's con clusions as to the origin of species were more firmly established than ever, despite the attempt to controvert them.Dealing with human health, the speaker urged that more public encouragement ought to be given to the study of preventable diseases .far more money than is now spent ought to be expended e pound is spent now.It would be | on reasonable and wise to lay out £10,000, : vestigating and combatin 000 of the public revenue yearly in _in- disease.For Manilla.August

Governor Aide says if the same rate of increase continues for a vear or even six months no more rice will be imported, and in two vears the islands, besides supplying the home demand.ought to be
