Danny Maher, the great American jockey, who has been the sensation of the English turf the past season, arrived in New York recently“l rode this season,” he said, when asked to talk about his experiences abroad, “for Lord Derby. Yes; 1 was successful, ' finishing first 103 times out of 500 mounts and second and third so often that I lost the count. The chief event in which I took part was the Derby, in which I piloted Spearmint to victory.

most the finish of 'the mile and a half course. I thought the race was in doubt up to the last quarter, when I gave Spearmint his head, and he finished two lengths ahead of his field. It was a far more exciting . race in every way than that of the previous year, when my mount came in second.” *

“Are the English jockeys adopting any of the American methods?” he was asked. '

“I do not wish to comment upon the English jockeys at all,”” answered Maher. “I have been misquoted often in a manner which did me no good with an English turfman and I must decline to answer that question.” Maher, before leaving for Hngland, bought an interest in the Saranac Hotel, but the investment, it is said, did nct pan out very well for him. At any rate, there was a change in the management shortly after he sailed. He had not been on the other side many weeks before many stories’ concerning him were cabled to this country. One was to the effect that he had won the heart of a daughter of the anstocracy and would marry and settle down in England. It was further said that he contemplated renouncing his citizenship and becoming a naturalized citizen of the king. : : These stories he contradicted in a cable message.. On the way over he was addressed by other passengers aboard as “Capt. Maher,” and if what sope of them say is true he seemed to enjoy it. Maher will ride for Lord Derby again next season. :

P G S t6|oss| & If the members of the “big nine” do not see fit to support their} Chicago representatives who in the cpnference adopted certain rules it is quite probable that Indiana university will withdraw fromm the conferdnce and cruise for the season of 1907 under the black flag. Rejection| of the retroactive idea of the threetyear rule means the ruin of the crimson foot ball team, while its adoptipn means that the great fizhting machine which Sheldon has built up will again try for the championship of the west. If the four-year rule is passed all the men except Hare and Clark can play and - Sheldon has some fast subs:who can easily drop into their places. Crutch, a phenomenal freshman punter, is expected to fill Hare's shoes, and Paddock, according 'to the crimson coaches, can easily take Clark's position. If the “big nine” upholds its conference Indiana will play five conference schools out of the seven games allowed. Chicago will be played at Chicago and -Mihnesota at Minneapolis. lowa and Michigan. will be asked to come to ' Indianapolis. Purdue and Illinois will be offered a date. Wabash and Notre Dame will be played 4at Bloomington. Should Indiana be forced to raise the black flag and play her four-year men Chicago will still hold to its game. Wabash and Nptre Dame both play fouryear men, so they will have no kick coming. Vanderbilt will be playved here and the Carlisle lollians at Indianapotis. i )

. 300 MILLIONS OF CHINESE. Yellow Empire Has About One-fifth of - Globe’s' Population. . o The interesting guestion of the population of the Chinese empire has often been discussed; but it is still Impossible to say ‘with any degree of certainty what theé figures. are. : At the beginning of the Christian era it is tolerably certain that there were at least 80,000,000 inhabitants, and it must be remembered that the empire then was mniuch smaller than it is at the present time. A Most of the censuses faken in China during the last 2,000 years, says the North China Daily Neéws, have not professed to take in the whole population. Young children and old. men, for instance, were sometimes omitted, the main object of the census being to. ascertain the number of taxable persons: By commbon consent the most- reliable consus ever taken in- Chipa was that. of 1812. This gives the figures as more than 362,00),000. In 1868 the population was estimated nearly 408,000,000; - but in 1881 it had fallen to 38,000,000, the great Taiping rebellion, in which so many millions ‘'of people lost their lives, being one of the principal causes undoubtedly: for this great decline. S ) T

Travelers, missionaries and others, who have visited the region devastated at the time of the Taiping rebellion, express the opinion that the loss. of life during the great convulsion has generally been estimated at too low a figuge, and it is a question also whether the®terfible famine more than a score of years ago in the provinces of Chili, Shansi, Shensi and Horman, with a population of 70,000,009, is not responsible for the loss of more lives than it is usually credited with.” - It is still more certain that the Mohammedan uprising in the northwest destroyed more lives than it is generally supposed to have done. A very moderate computation of the loss of life incurred in these three calamities makes it to be fully 60,000,000. ‘Amnd in' this connection it would be well, perhaps, to remind ourselves that ,the habitual nse. of opium by such a large number of the people has tended to act injuriously on the’recuperative power of the nation. , T . Loode Wording Cost Money. Little Chip, the dwarfish ‘comedian, can tell stories all day. His assortment of hard luck-tales of his own experiences is especially large. T “The fourth night after I opened in New York last season, I broke my left arm in a fall from my famous horse in the first act/” said Chip, “I played through the next two acts without telling anyone of ‘my injury.. I played with my arm in splints: after that and, couldn’t do my falls for:l2 weeks. Then when I got to Boston I lost my voice for a while. I certainly had a lot of trouble. Byt everything is going nicely now.” e “While in Boston,” continued Chip, “I noticed that Harry Bulger of the ‘Man From Now," was playing at one of the theaters. I wrote him a note saying ‘I would be.pleased *to have your company at supper.’ - Well, after .the performance here came Bulger, followed -by the whole troupe, some 35 or 40 people. . = - 2 ~ “What do you mean?” I [demanded. “You can’t ring anything like this on me.” > , L “‘Well, here’s your note,’ said Bulger. ‘What are you going to do about it? : ooz : -

“I read the note over. The supper’s on me all right,” I said.” I .
