WORLD'S GREATEST HORSE.
IVince Palatine Ranked Foremost on
British Turf.
Even if horse racing in the country
is at present under a cloud, the
fact that it is still recognized as the
'sport of kings' across the Atlantic
was attested recently in London
when J. B. Joel, the South African
sportsman, purchased Prince Palatine
from T. Pilkington for $250,000, the
highest price ever paid for a thoroughbred
horse. The previous marfc
was held by Flying Fox, which changed
hands for $196,875. Prince
Palatine is ranked with the greatA

ran only a few times last year, and
has won the Coronation cup at Epsom
and the Ascot gold cup. Yoi
probably remember that in the latter
race August Belmont's Tracer}
was leading a quarter of a mile from
home, when a man rushed on the
track and caused the animal to fall
Competent critics have expressed the
opinion that Tracery would have
beaten Prince Palatine but for this
outrage. Mr. Pilkington bought the
horse as a yearling for $10,000 anc
since then it has earned a foremosl
place in the racing world. Althougl1
not finally decided, Prince Palatine
may be raced another year before
being retired to the stud.?

UXIOX LAD SHOT.
Gun Falls From Wall and is Discharged.
*
Union, Jan. 31.?Harold the 4.
year-old son of Joe Adams, was
seriously shot yesterday afternoon al
5 o'clock. The little boy was sitting
on the front porch, while severa.
other children were playing in the adjoining
room. While they were playing
a shotgun which was hanging on
nails driven in the wall was dislodged
and, falling to the floor, was discharged.
the load of shot passing
through the walls and striking the
child on the outside in the forehead,
fracturing the skull and probably
putting out both eyes. Physicians
were quickly summoned, and
the child is stil living, but his recovery
is doubtful.
Married Men Barred.
It- ,
Can a marrjed man keep a secret
from his wife? Some people think
not, and among them are the heads
of the firm who are building the
wonderful new racing yacht with
which Sir Thomas Lipton is going
to make one more attempt to recapture
the America Cup.
There is always a ded of secrecy
about the design of a new racing
yacht, and particularly about the
shape of the keel. The keel of
Shamrock IV. was cast at Messrs.
Camper & Nicholson's yard at Gosport
on November 26 last, and not
---* - 1 4. U ^
one married man was amuag mt
men employed, nor took part in the
construction of the hull.
There are others besides yacht
builders who have a similar distrust
of married men. During- all those
years that Lord Kitchener was busy
perfecting his plans for his swoop
upon the Mahdi he wouid not have a
Benedict upon his staff. If one of
the staff wanted to get married, why,
he had to find another job?that was
all.
As a matter of fact, there were
singularly few desertions for this
cause. The Sirdar gave his men precious
little leisure for love making.
In businesses which depend for
their success on secret formulas,
married men are sometimes refused
employment.
One such has for more than a century
past been manufacturing a certain
popular sauce. The firm has
two large factories and employs a
ing scores of women. There are
-Dnioui -spubu to .iaqiunu oSjbi ajoa
plenty "of "married men in the works,
but'the actual mixing is in the hands
of a few highly-paid and muchtrusted
men, not one of whom is
married.
The plan seems to have worked
well, for in spite of many attempts at
bribery, the secret has remained in\
violate for 120 years.
One might also quote the case of
the well-known liquer, Chartreuse,
the formula for which remained a
secret among its monkish manufacturers
for over 200 years.
Some industries there are in which
the element of danger is so great that
employers prefer bachelors to married
men. There is a powder factory
in Kent where the posts of danger in
the mixing houses are held only by
unmarried men.
And in the Dupont factory at Wilmington,
Del., which is the oldestestablished
dynamite factorv in the
i
United States, a similar regulation is
in force.
The danger of venturing aloft in
aeroplanes is. happily, diminishing
month by month, but even so, flying
is still one of the riskiest pursuits in
which man engages. It is for this
reason that the authorities who control
the Royal Flying Corps prefet
to employ unmarried officers and
men.
WOULD MARK RUM "POISON."
i Rill to Be Offered Galling for Skull h
and Cross bones Label.
When Long john Silver and his
more or less merry companions used e
i to roar the refrain "Vol Ho! Ho! ^
: and a bottle of rum," the Jolly Roger n
, flew from the main truck, but even tl
i the most hardened pirate had not si
thought of putting the skull and
crossbones emblem on the bottle, b

Saloon League?who plan6 to do that t]
"ery thing. . * s<
Mr. Anderson left last night for h
i Alhanv. carrying with him copies u
jf a bill which he said would be ini
troduced in the assemby to-day. The n
- bill requires that the skull and cross- a
: bones and a poison notice be placed ii
i upon every container in which an "w
i alcoholic beverage is sold. f<
Mr. Anderson said that he was n
i quite serious about this new plan ol a
j campaign in the anti-saloon war and e
5 chat he would not be surprised to see p
? "manifestations of public sentiment :\
[ which will force the State legisla- d
t ture to regard the bill seriously."
i Mr. Anderson's bill is an amend- .
- ment to the Penal Law, relating to
- selling poison without label and pro
vides that it shall be unlawful to sell p
at wholesale or retail any container r
holding any preparation "commonly a
used for beverage purposes" which V
contains more than two per cent by tl
" weight of alcohol, unless the contain- s<
er bears the skull and crossbones s
printed in red and the following in- E
srrintion: a
"This preparation contains alcohol n
which is a habit forming, irritant, q
narcotic poison. si
1 The words "alcohol" and "poison" e
" are to be printed "in heavy bold face
capitals" and the skull and cross- ii
L bones must be "not less than one-half h
an inch high." * ii
.Mr. Anderson says that his bill is K
"neither a joke nor a freak" and that o
?
- he will keep on introducing it until u
it is enacted into law. E
"The temperance people of Ameri- si
ca are tired of standing on the de- Ij
^ fensive," he said, "and will give spec- b
' ,ial backing to any proposition to car- a
ry the liquor war into the rum de- s<
mon's own camp."
The New York Methodist Preach- n
ers' Meeting, in session yesterday at t<
150 Fifth avenue, passed resolu- o
tions saying that it favored the skull ii
and crossbones bill, although it d
would prefer to witness the triumph o:
of "absolute prohibition of the liquor tl

ing back 4 0 feet from the building
line in order to create a circular
facade at this point from which the n"
building will be carried in a straight
front to Fifty-eighth street and to
Eighth avenue.
Besides creating a plaza approach
for the proposed structure, the set- ^
back will also afford a suitable place ^
for a subway station, and it is cal- ^
culated by the architect that the ac- '
d
tual material, in cubic area, that will
be saved in this setback will be suf- "
. ficient to add five additional stories
S(
to the original plan.
The revised drawings will provide ^
for a much higher structure than
originally contemplated. It will reach '
a height of 889 feet, divided into
about 56 floors, with ceiling heights ^
ranging from 15 to 30 feet. The '
Wool worth building has 55 stories
and is 750 feet in height, the Metro- j.
