CROKER CUTS OFF TRAINER l'nr Conuinny Mlth the Thinl Mnn He linn llnil In Three Yciirn, (Copyright, 1W1. by Press Publishing Co.) WANTAGE, June S. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Richard Croker has parted company with Stanley, his third trainer in as many years. Stan- Icy left Utcombe this week at a day s no tlce. The only explanation given Is that Mr. Croker believed that Stanley was talk ing too freely about his affairs among the tradespeople of Wantage. Stanley, how ever, denies it. Secrctlveness is rapidly becoming a mania with the boss. He resents the most perfunctory Inquiry about bis health as though it covered BOine dark design. He cow bas seventy men employed on his new works at Letcombe. and, as he passes a large part of his time among them, he must expect them to speak about him. Mr. Crokcr's son Bertie Is always smartly dressed and he Inherits his father's horsey tastes. Bertie won the first prize for the smartest dog car., and best trotter at the Forlngdon show last Monday, easily beating everything there. Stanley'a dismissal, whatever the ostcn- slble cause, Is believed here to be really evidence of the boss' dissatisfaction because hla horsea at Epsom were not In better condition and their consequent Ill-success, He has' overborne Stanley on training ques- tions, having an extravagant belief in his own knowledge of such matters. The failure of Minnie Dee to win the Oaks yes- terday was the crowning disappointment of I the racing season to the boss, HALL CAINE'S DAMAGE SUIT .Notv Mi I it to He linnet! on Publisher' KlIiiiluntliiK Improper runtimes.

Louis Jam- mard, a stock broker, appeared in court one day this week charged with assault and bat tery on his mother-in-law. "Judge," he explained, "I Just spanked her; I never Intended to hurt her seriously, but I could not stand It any longer. She turned my wife against me and made life Intolerable, so. I Just spanked her. I had warned her that if she ever again came to my house to plot with my wife against my peace of mind I would give her a IcsEon and I did." "Your act was unbecoming a gentleman," said the Judge, sternly. "Doubtless you think ypurself extraordinarily smart for having perpetrated a brutal Joke." "You don't know her " Interrupted the prisoner. "There's no Joke about a mother- in-law. I Just had to do something to keep her away." "Silence!" shouted the Judge. "I will fine jou 5C0 francs without prejudice to any dam ages your mother-in-law- may demand In the civil courts, as I strongly advise her to do." This made Jammard furious. "I don't need any moralizing from this beach on running my family affairs," he said. "Five hundred francs Is cheap. I would not care it It waa 1,000 francs. I would not have missed It for double the price." The Judge thereupon sentenced Jammard to Jail for three days for contempt.

Sara Bernhardt In formed a representative of the Associated Press this afternoon that there is still some doubt as to whether she will play Romeo to Maude Adams' Juliet. Her ac ceptance of the offer was made Jokingly, but was taken seriously. Mme. Bernhardt adds: "I would love to play Romeo ln English, but I scarcely think I could ever sufficiently master English to do so." When Mr. Frohman had learned what Mme. Bernhardt said he was much dis turbed. "Bernhardt herself suggested the Idea," be said, "and she appeared to do so in all seriousness. She had before her a copy ot the part ln English. I said, 'Why don't you do it ln French,' but Mme. Bernhardt said, 'I shall do it in English. I have it here. I shall learn it.' "So convinced was I that Grau and I talked over all the arrangements, even to the utmost details ot the expenses, Now she appears to have changed her mind about her ability to learn the part. Why, I can't think, but I am perfectly willing to make the same arrangements and let the performance take place in French." Mr. Frohman tells the Associated Press that Edna May next appears under the Joint management ot himself and George Ed wards.

Copyright. lJl. b Preas Publishing Co. 1'AP.IS, June 8. (New York World Cable gramSpecial Telegram.) Prof. Metsche Von of the Pasteur institute delivered a sensational lecture upon some recent opera tions In a Paris hospital, in which he as serted that the large Intestine Is not ont entirely useless but absolutely harmful. Ho said that observation had demonstrated that not less than forty-fit r species of dan gerous microbes were there doml- lled and that to them most of our diseases wert due. Besides, he said, the small Intestine was much too long, a yard and a half being amply sufficient, us wns proved in ca'rs where, after stubs, patients had been re duced to that allowance without discom fort thereafter. Lately, said the lecture:. Dr. Kuggl, the ceUbratcd Italian surgeon, was compelled to open an 8-year-old boy thrice In succession, removing long piece of the Intestinal tube each time, until three yards and a halt were subtracted, uud today the child was growing robustly. A severed Intestine can be spliced easily. Prof. MetschekolT also cited the case of a woman recently deprived of her stomach by Di. Pozzt, and now healthy and growing fat. The statue of Napoleon which adorned the top of the Vendonic column when, dur ing the reign of the Paris commune, the people nulled down the "ungodly memorial standing In stupid glorification of war." has been accidentally fished out of the Seine after a mysterious disappearance ot thirty years. When th" Vendome column was penecteu a new .iaiue nau xo ne pro- vided. The Empress Eugenie, who Is now in Paris, snld to the World correspondent: "When the communists prepared to over turn the huge bronze monument the mar quis de Castronc resolved to save the atfitue from destruction. The night before he bribed three workmen to rig up great der ricks, and had the statue lowered and carried to the river and sunk. The marquis was shot among other hostages held by the communists, and therefore, though I knew that the statue of the founder of our dynasty was sunken, I was Ignorant of the exact spot." Tho relic has been taken ln charge by the State Commission for the Preservation of Historical Landmarks, of which this la considered the masterpiece. The socialists tomorrow will give a great banquet to Zolo "aR a token of admiration for the man and writer, and especially of gratitude for that glorious contribution to human though his last novel, entitled Work." Tolstoi, whose stern criticism of Zola yearn ago is not forgotten, has telegraphed to Zola that despite their dlt- ferenccs of opinion he wishes that he could attend and "pay tribute to one of the most sincere and powerful agents ot progress." Among those who will bo present are Max Nordau, Bernard Shaw, Anatole France, Jean Jaures, Mme.
