Tho onning day of the (irand
Cireiiit trotting races at historic
ChitrUT Oak Park was marked by
the tragic death of Sadie Mac, the
Canadian trotting queen. She drop
Md dead in the fourth heat of the
If lO.(Ktl) Charter Oak trot, the classic
event of the meet.
The black mare, that had won the
$5,(X)0 Koger Williams Stakes at
Providence, K. I., last Thursday, was
the favorite. Three heats were run
off and yet Sadie Mac had failed to
finish first in any one of them.
Just before the beginning of the
fourth heat Driver Stinson stepped
to the side of tho black mare, sxike
to her a minute and then patted her.
Those who have read and reread
"Mack Ileautv" know that Sadie
Mac's toss of tlic head meant "I'll do
or die."
When the start was made for the
fourth heat the game mare went to
the front and stayed there until
rounding the last turn. Then, hav
ing been passed, she made a gallant
effort to regain the lead. Kvery
muscle and nerve was strained to the
utmost. Suddenly she faltered, Her
stride became shorter and then she
fell dead on the turf. She died try
ine to save her laurels.
Scores of hardened old horsemen
actually wept as they saw the great
mare lying dead. Her owner, JIiss
Katherino Wilkes, who was in a pri
vate box, was deeply affected and left
the grounds immediately.
When Sadie Mac fell hundreds of
men thronged on the track, and when
it was announced that the great mare
was dead all sorts of rumors spread
through the crowd. It was at first
thought that she was drugged, but a
veterinary surgeons attributed death
to a broken blood vessel.

McCredy Duke, after a honeymoon
that is hardly ten months old.
Frank T. Iluntoon, man aliout
town, president and general maiwwr
of a popular brand of mineral water
known from one end of Droadwav to
the otlier, familiar to all the race
tracks of the dav and a "first night
er" at the theatres, a member of the
famous Old (iuard regiment, is
named by Duke as co-n'sixmilent.
The iwixts were served on Mrs.
Duke at the town house of Mr. Duke,
Xo. 11 West Sixty eighth street. Sat
urday, by a nephew of Richard V
Lindabury, of the law firm of Linda
bury, Iepue A Folks, with ollices in
the Prudential Building, in Newark,
who for years have ls-en the Tobacco
Trusts attorneys in that State.
The pajiers begin by reciting that
the plaintiff was married to the de
fendant at Camden, X. J., Nov.
P.HU, by the Rev. Marshall Owen,
pastor (if the Centenary Methodist
Church; that ever since such mar
riage the contracting parties have
lived together as man and wife, and
that, within the time Ik tuii u .lulv 1
and Septenilier 1, I '.MS, Mrs. Duke
has been unfaithful to l.cr marriage
vows with one Frank T. Iluntoon.
Specific dates, amounting to six or
more, are set up in the complaint,
which alleges that the acts complain
ed of wen' committed mainly in this
city, at No. II West Sixty -eight
street, the twn house of the Dukes,
and in one or two otlier places, not
mentioned 8cifieally, in tho com
plaint on Ing Island.
Mr. I.indahury said last night:
"The acts complained of were
committed, Mr. Duke in his com
plaint alleges, while he was absent
in F.uroiH. lie went to F.uroiie I
think almut July 1, ami returned last
week. He did not go to No 11 West
Sixty-eighth street, but, instead, went
to his summer home at Somersville.
He has not lived with Mrs. Duke
since the date of his departure for
Kurot. When he went away there
had been no trouble or any thought
of any divorce. The relations of Mr.
and Mrs. Duke were ierfectly amica
ble at the tune of his going abroad,
and it was not until his return that
the suit was started."
Mr. Duke went to F.uroiie for bus
iness solely. While he was abroad,
it is alleged, certain information
reached him by cable involving the
names of Iluntoon and Mrs. Duke.
It was said that the couple were seen
at the races together, that they went
automobiling and were together at
fashionable restaurants, l'rivate de
tectives were called in by Duke
through his lawyers in thiscity. The
evidence gathered covers the alleged
meetings in tho Duko bouse, winch
a servant describes, nnd meetings at
country place on Long Island.
The suit coming so quickly on the
heels of the sudden and romantic
marriage of Duke and his wife is a
great surprise. When the coup'e
were married there were not Halt a
dozen friends of Mr. Duke knew
that he was alxmt to end his long
years of bachelorhood.
Secretly almost air. Duke and ins
secretary left Somervillc, N..I., on
the day prior to the marriage, ami
went to the Hotel Walton, in Phila
delphia. Mrs. McCredy, as she was
then, went to the Bellevue-Slrattord
in Philadelphia, and the next day
went to the home of her uncle, Iwis
J. Seal, President of the Consolidated
Stock Exchange, in Philadelphia
who lives at No. 217 Cooer street,
Camden. There tho couple were
married, with hardly a dozen of their
friends attending tho simple cere
mony. Camden was the birthplace
of Mrs. Duke. She was Miis W illiam
N. Fletcher. Her mother still lives
in Camden.
After tho wedding Mr. and Mrs.
Duke sailed for Eumix on the Baltic
and were abroad until February of
this year. Then they settled down
to live at No. 11 West Sixty -eighth
street.
The bride is a blonde, with large
blue eves. and was formerly the wife
of William E. McCredy, a clubman
and broker. Sho figured with her
first husband in a series of divorce
proceedings. In April, 1S!2, her
husband and she quarrelled. Her
husband declared he did not aprove
of her associating with Benjamin
Parsons, a fiour merchant, and with
Broker Henry Kencr. A young Cu
ban was also mentioned as a friend
of Mrs. McCredy's. The couple had

of the Woman's International Ri-scue

"As a result of remrts from our

Johann Hoch's nvord is well
known. Within three years from
1S!I2 he married seventeen women,
twelve of whom died soon after mar
riage, lie has liccn convicted of the
murder of one of his w ives. Appar
ently Witzhoff has victimized many
more women than I loch. In twenty
live marriages he has figured as a
principal and in at least one hundred
others he has planned the swindle
and shared in the profits.
It is estimated that in money ami
pocket a commission, l nousaiiusoi
young women of foreign birth, herd
ed in the tenements of the east side,
work hard, save their in-unies, and
lay their plans for domestic happi
ness. If a girl receives no masculine
attentions she goes to the schatchen.
The first thing he asks is how much
money she has saved. She tells him
without hesitation.
It is this dot that the professional
bigamist covets. The schatchen
knows it, and his usual bargain is
for one per cent, of the bride's little
fortune. The charge is small, but
so many are the marriages arranged
mar-
riaues and as much more from the
operations of his syndicate.

White is a practical machinist with
an inventive turn of mind, anil has
contributed in no small degree to the
valuable inventions of the mechani
cal world.
His chief aim and ambition has
been to discover some means of get
ting rid of the smoke in engine and
boilers. To the H-rfectioii of a smoke
consuming device he has given years
of thought and study and made all
sorts of exiK-riments.
About a year ago Mr. White prac
tically perfected his invention. But
he was not yet ready to proclaim his
triumph to the world. There were
some minor dtthcultics to overcome.
This lie has done and the thing is a
demonstrated success tested to the
entire satisfaction ol himselt and
others.
Mr. White has his invention in
operation at Andrews, m t herokee
county, this State, on the boilers of
a large manufacturing plant. One
good thing about it is that the smoke
consumer can be applied to engines,
lioilcrs and locomotives already in
use. It is not necessary to have
them made with it.
Mr. White's invention is more
than a smoke consumer, it is a great
fuel saver as well. It is claimed that
in burning tin smoke a saving of
three-fourths of the coal is gained.
There is more strength and heating

there is in the coal and almiler fitted

If the news that comes to us is
straight, and we have no reason to

tions of the age: "there's millions in

We are informed that Colonel A

Mr. White has refused $PKI,IHKI

company has been incorKirated with

adoption on every railroad and en

Bring kermit Along.
N-w ami 0!Mrver.
When the I'lesideiit visit Ualeigli
next month, we hope he will bring
his son, Kermit, with him. In a
sleeping car the other day the Presi
dent s son surrendered his lower
berth hi an aged gentleman and his
wife who would have had dilhenlty
in reaching an upper iierui winch
the book took. It was a simple act
of courtesy indicating what we call
good raising" There are plenty
of well-trained bovs who would have
done the same tiling, but in an age
w hen chivalry is ridiculed and "devil
take the hindmost" the motto with
manv men and bovs, the thocglitfiil
courtesy has been widely commented
upon. It shows that wing the son
of the President has not turned llic
head of the boy and that he slums
the same consideration for age that
all right thinking parent try to in
still in their sous. Really the thing
that has won for Mr Roosevelt so
much of popular regard in his ideal
home life, typical of the simple and
happy home life that makes America
great.
In spite, however, of good instruc
tion at home, too many boys are lack
ing in the courtesies and gentler
amenities of life, and we lind too
many boorish men in the world
Some writers have gravely asked, in
view of the decadence of old time
chivalry, if, as a nation, we are losing
the good manner of the past genera
tion. It is because of this loss of
courtesy that the act of Kermit
Roosevelt has been so widely ap
plauded. I'sing it as a text the
Baltimore Sun makes tliese sensible
observations:
"Nowhere else are bad manners
more conspicuous and common than
on the railroad cars. In entering
the car there is usually a rush to
secure the best place, and in that
rush the aged, the infirm, women
and children are apt to be elbowed
aside. Women are generally as in
considerate of the rights and com
forts of others as the men, and there
a general disixisition to let the
devil take the hindmost. One of the
cowboys from the far West who came
the inauguration ol I'resuient
Rixisevelt last spring was amazed to
see men dressed up as gentlemen
lingering over their cigars bik! wine
in the dining car between Washing
ton and New York while a long line
of ladies were standing and waiting
for their places. Our cowboy friend
called these men "sheep faces,
hich seems to indicate that they ex
cited his contempt, and he could not
understand how people guilty of
such behavior have tho effrontery to
boast of lietter manners than those
of the cowlmys who treat their wom-
jii with difference.
"Kermit Roosevelt in being polite
while traveling set a good example
of unselfishness to other travelers,
and it is to bo hoped that other
Americans, young and old, will find
some proht in it.

wife No. -2.
One question I want to ask you,
Mr. I'.ditor ias you answer so many):
io you lielicve there is a man in the
world who would lie willing to take
a woman s place.' .nay be a tew; not
many. Kdilor.) Her endless cares;
the same old three meals, and dishes
to wash every day, no matter how
manv other can s, such as milk to
see to, churn, make beds, sweep and
lust, fruit to can and preserves, jel
lies and pickles to make, washing
and ironing, yard and (lowers, house
keeping generally, meeting company.
sewing ami darning an endless
hain of duties. hat if a man had
part of tins to do in one day some
times and then had a cross husband
to come in and complain, with never
;i kind word or look to cheer her on
her wearv road.
Husband, don't lie so chary of
kind words to your tired wife lend
her a hand; tell her her cooking is
good, even better than your mother's
used to be; tell her the silver threads
are prettier to you than the gold
ones in her young days. If people
could onlv realize how encouraging
words lighten the burden they would
not use them so grudgingly. If the
good man would only praise the tired
wife sometimes, how much lighter
the burden would seem, since it is
alnioxt impossible to have hired help.
Hut mothers, we must learn our girls
to take more of the burdens.
Now, 1 do not say all women have
as much as this to do. Some of them
dress and are on the street a lot.
But the most of us have all of these
cares to contend with and nearly all
the sisters in the country have all
these cares. Some of them go on
day in and day out, for months and
years, just this "sameness" of cares,
never taking a day oil for rest, while
the good man iK-cassionally dresses
up and goes hi town to court, or is
on the jury, or goes on an excursion,
r to a big speaking, or something,
md never says: "Wife, arrange and
xmio w ith me." No wonder so many
more tired wives and mothers lose
their minds in the country than in
the town. It is the "sameness", so
I heard a learned person say. Hut
there are many women in town, sis
ters of the country, who work jusi
as hard as you. Some have to start
husbands by the 5 or li o'clcvk whis
tles in the morning. If not on time
they are docked. You don't have
meals just by the exact hour.
Now, husbands, all you that read
this, if the cap doesn't tit don't wear
it. Those it does lit, do alniut, turn
around and praise your wife a littlo
more; bring the smile back to the
tired face and make her life just as
happy as yon promised when you
stood by her 20 or .10 years ago.

FIFTY CENTS
IN some conditions the
Cain from the use
of Scott's Emuliion is
very rapid. For this
reason we put up a
Hfty-cent size, which is
enough for an ordinary
cough or cold or useful
as a trial for babies
and children. In other
condition the gain is
slower health cannot
be built up in a day.
In such case .Scott's
Emulsion must be taken
as nourishment!" a food
rather than a medicine.
It's a food for tired and
weak digestions.
