Young Gari baldi seems to covet tho limelight Ills father was a very unassuming hero born to do a great work, which bo did well, then retired to obscurity. In his early days tho outsldo world looked upon tho first Onrlbaldl as something of an adventurer, n sort of IUlsull, who made patriotism a pretenso and was always looking out for No. 1. Ho nud his followers formed a plcturcsqtio group and wero given to deeds that smacked of tho age of chivalry rather than of tho nineteenth century. Per bops nicclottl Is barking buck to the fif ties, the days of tho Carbonari, when bis father was a "striker" rather than a liberator and protector, with a price set on his bead. It Is tho talk of Europe that young Garibaldi's sword has a price set upon it nud that ho will fight for tho sldo that puts up tho biggest purso. The career of his "foreign legion" during tho war tetween Turkey nnd Orcece Is often recalled as nn orgy of plundering, In which tho victims were the very tieoplo ho pretended to help fight their battles. Since that time he has been accused of tlonsplrlng tu overthrow the Italian government, from which be drans a siitmuintlal annuity. lie Is nlso n claimant for a abnro In the crown pmiiorty of Naples, which his father turned Into tho Italian treasury when bo enptured the city end drove out the Ling and uuecu 111 IKS').

Heart I)l"ae a National Peril V At tho recent annual meeting of tho Ullnnitulogtcul association tho public wus warned by ono of the lecturer:! that under tho conditions of American llfo prevailing at present heart dis ease Is n national peril. In making this point Dr. Darlington, commission er of health In New York city, dc dared that tho effect of high strung nervous tension Induced by modern methods of social nud business compe tition Is n factor In tho production of functional nnd ultimately organic dl ensti of the heart. Ho assorted thai out of 27f,04io ndi children Ined In the New York public schools 70 per cent were found to Iks suffering from Homo physical nbuonuallty, mil of this iKrcentagii Il.SOO had heart 1N- case In soinu form. Too much Is expecteil of tho young, and thoy nro goaded too much. Final- ly they get Into tho hnblt of straining Isith at their tasks and In their piny. Uven keenly contested games leave their vicious Imprint on the physical etntuK of Immature and underolojiiH! youth. The doctor referreil to the ear ly days of our natlouul life, when the young were allowed to grow up nat urally. Children who wero good schol ars wero kept lit lessons, but those who wero Indifferent to IsHjks were given n chunco at something cl.se. Ilngenicss to excel soon begets ph tcid and meutnl unrest, and this butts on through tbe age of maturity. No doubt mauy people nro urgcil Uiyond their capacity by Influences on tbe out side. Like tho plant and the tree, the human being cannot bo urged too much without sacrifice of virility and hardiness. Tbe Future of the American Turf.

I MAN ACQUITTED OF MURDER SHOT Woman He Hade a Widow Wounds Dr. Simpson. MARRIED HER DAUGHTER Family Distentions End In 8heotlng of N.w York Dentist at His Former Horn. Mrs. Hormr Admits Using 'Pistol on 8on.n.sw, and Lstt.r's Wife Dtfinda H.r Mother's Aotlon, Ssylng Husband Mad Mov. at Though to Draw W.spon. V Nortbport, N. Y., July 14.-On the threshold of tho home that once had been his, but which was shut to him fur he shot his father-ld-law on Dec. 27, 1000, Dr. James W. Simpson was shot by tho wife of the man whom hu had killed. Simpson was acquitted ot tho murder of his father-in-law In spite of testimony which his wife und his mother-in-law gavo against him. Tha killing, bowevor, had alteuatcd bis wlfo from him, and It was when de manding to see her In order to arrange with ber to make their separation per manent by means of a divorce that thu bullot came entitling through a glass door. It entered tbo dentin's abdomen and lodged la the lower part of tbe right luug. He hurried tu New York, where ho went to Roosovelt hospital to huve an operation performed. After receiving a frightful wound Dr. Simpson showed that be hail mar velous fortitude and nerve. Suffering intonie pain, knowlug that Internal hemorrhage was sarplng bis life, he traveled alone from Nnrthport to Long Island City and from there, with little help, mado his way to Roosevelt hos pital, And on tbe way, Knowing he was looking death closely In the face, he iiiM solemnly: I may die before morning. If I die It will be with n consi li'iice clear of the murder of my father-in-law." Wife Loyal to Mcther. The shooting of Simpson came its an other tragic Incident In n household In which wealth had caused dissensions which turned daughter against bet parents. Not until her father had ben shot by tbe man whom she hail in.tr rted and to whom she had htvn loyal did tbe daughter return to her motlicr and desert tbe man who bad done the killing So bitter was the feeling of mother and daughter toward Siiup-ou thut when thoy kuew ho was lying on tpelr doorstop Wowllng trgiu u danger ous wouud they did not lift a linger fn help him. When Dr. SUnpsnn, who was one ot the meet promluent dentists lu this section, killed his fathur-lu-lnw, Hart ley T. Horner, tho revulsion of feeling which Mrs. Simpson felt toward her bus'jand was such that when the Jury acquitted the dontlst she denounced the twelvo men for what she said was a gross miscarriage of Justlco. Plmpsou had lived in tbe home of his fatbor-ln-law, who was n wealthy re tired tobacco planter. There wore many quarrels In the household, and Mrs. Simpson always stood with her husband, but after tho killing of her father she and her mother told the dentist never to enter their home again, and It was because he was ubout to violate their Injunction that he was shot. Statements from Dr. Simpson and from Mrs. Horner as to the circum stances attending the shooting ills agree. The dentist says that be bad received word that his wife Intended to tuu him for a divorce and thut he went to the Horner home to talk with her about It. He nays be rang the doorbell and upon receiving no re sponse peered through the door pane. He saw Mrs, Horner, be says, niul called to her to open the door. Then, Pr. Simpson says. Mrs. Homer grab bed up n revolver nnd shot lihn. The bullet entered his body above the nb domen, nuil he fell back against I In doorslll. A second slmt was llivil sit htm, he claims, but Hie bullet vvcul wild. ) Womsn Admits Shooting. Mrs. Horner Hoes nut deny mat sue did the shooilug, but she il.ilms jiisil llcollon.

When he mine again sho says she or dered blm off the place, nud wh be refused to go she took up n revolver that was lying on n rack in the hall aud shot at him. Constable Hanson, who arrested Simpson In Ifssl when the dentist shot Mrs. Horner's hus band, arrested Mrs. Homer. Sho was charged with felonious assault. After Justice R. W. Hawkins had lixed ball at $3,000, Mrs. Hlnipion, the prisoner's daughter, guve bond and secured tbe release of her motlicr. Mn. Klmpson said thut while Bhe was not preieut when her mother tired the shot lit Dr. Simpson she believed her mother was absolutely Justified and said Dr. Simpson got what he do served. Bna says she was In a rear room of tbe bouse at the time, but upon hearing n shut she dropped what she was doing and ran to see If ber mother had been shot. When she found that It was ber husband she says the was relieved, "When ray mother ordered Dr. Simp son off tb place ho made as though to put his hand In his pistol pocket," said Mrs. Htunuun.

Italn Interfered badly with tbe fourth International Olympiad nt Shepherd's bush, and at. though It cleared off before tbe con tests, tho attendance full far short of expectations. Tho testing capacity of the Stadium Is upward of 70,0ml, and while the covered stands contained sec tions which were well filled, there wore many vacant spaces. In some of the events, too, tho con testants appeared affccti-d by the ad verse weather conditions, but In other events, particularly the LW meters race, in which tho greatest interest centered, the men were up to their form, and twice the record for the dis tance was smashed. Mclrln W. Shcp- pard of tho Irish-American Athletic club of New York was the first to ac complish tho trick, whon In the second heat, prested hard by his team mate. J. P.

Mead ows of Caauda set out to make the pace In this heat, but Llghtbody wont to the trout In the stretch nnd seemed a likely winner uutll Sullivan, with n line burst of speed, passed blm n few yards from thu tape. The liost performance of tho day, however, was that of M T Hallows, an Oxford blue, who cut n full two sec onds off tho record, much to the sur prise of everybody, ns Hallows always has boon at his best at thu tbreo miles, and 1,500 meters was considered too short for him. Ho Is now thought to be tho most serious rival of tho Amer icans in the final of this event, which will bo run today. TAFT STUDIES POLITICS.
