tf the Ticket Is Named By Acclamation. fcrd Conn. Sept. 14.—The Re convention today named the state ticket. ,nr-Charles A. Goodwin of tM and a con.-idcr able number were present from out side the county. Few of the many persons who at tended the fair Wednesday know that Readfield fair is the oldest agricultural exhibition in. the State, older in fact than the State itself, for it was origi nally chartered under the laws of Massachusetts when Readfield was a part of tite town of Winthrop. The familiar figure of one man, who has attended the fair almost every year (luring the entire 78 years of its ex istence was missing yesterday, for the veteran driver, L. Clark Leadbetter of Wayne, who only last year at the age of 87, drove his good horse, Rudhaus, in one of the races, has passed beyond. Uncle Solon Chase, who has also often attended this historic fair and who last year gave an interesting and char acteristic address, was another familiar figure that was missed. George A. Russell of Readfield, presi dent of the Kennebec County Agricul tural Society, was greatly pleased at the interest which has been shown in the fair during the two days. He said to a Journal reporter in speaking of the fair: "The hall display is particu larly good this year and the steel shown of most excellent quality. Tin first day’s attendance was about that of tiie usual opening day, but today the attendance has been unusually large, especially taking into consid eration the lowering looking morning. Every event we have advertised has come off as slated and I feel that there is actually a great awakening of in terest in old Readfield fair." Superintendent of the Horse Depart ment M. S. Gordon of Vienna deserves a great deal of credit for getting to gether at Readfield as good a lot of race horses as have been seen here foi a number of years. The rain of the previous night helped rattier than In jured the sandy track and the. two races developed some exciting finishes although the time was not the fastest in the world. to Farmington and he got the Helds away In good shape, sending them oft in one instance tile first time down.

Hazel R. led to the half in the Hrst heat of the 2.25 pace, but was passed before she reached the three-quarter mark hy both Miss Avon and Odd Fel low. The finish was exciting enough for anyone, Odd Fellow just nosing out the Augusta mare. The second heat was another good brush between the.-e two horses. Miss Avon and Odd fel low racing along neck and neck tot nearly a quarter of a mile. A spurt at the finish landed the New Vineyard horse under the wire by a head and neck ahead of Miss Avon. The last heat was the slowest of the three. Odd Fellow landing several lengths ahead at the finish. The 2 50 class was a hard field to get away In the first heat. Automobile had the pole and he proved a Tartar to score by. Ora Sterling led to the half in this heat, but Baron Dictator passed him at the three-quarter mark and landed a length ahead. Haro Dictator took the second and hint heats easily, but in the third a lively race developed between the General and Ora Sterling fbr scond position In which the son of Commander had the advantage.

Had Returned to Shed Utter Trouble with a Motor. The Twelve Passengers Escape Three of Crew Badly Hurt. Baden Baden, Germany. Sept. 14.— The fifth and latest type of Count Zep pelin's inventive genius met with disas ter today, when the dirigible balloon Zeppelin VI took lir; after an Explo sion, while being warped into her shed. A fcore or more of men were engaged in the task of housing the airship when a benzine tank in the rear gondola ex ploded, setting lire to an adjacent gas compartment. The explosion of this compartment was followed by the ex plosion of the 1G others. There was a gush of flame, developing intense heat, and the whole structure was destroyed in a few minutes. Nothing remained of Count Zeppelin's latest model except a tangled mass of aluminum frames. The shed also became ignited, but the flames were extinguished without seri ous damage. Several workmen were burned, hut none fatally. The ignition ol' the benzine occurred while workmen were engaged in clean ing the machinery, during which the benzine holders were opened. The cause of the ignition has not been as certained. Zeppelin \’I during the past 18 days has made 'll passenger tripps covering about 2000 miles, and carrying more than ;:on passengers. The flights of the dirigible were made regularly, often in unfavorable weather. Baden-Baden, Sept. 14.—If anything could discourage that intrepid apostle of aerostatics, Count Zeppelin, it would appear to have been furnished today when the Zeppelin VI. the latest model of his aerial invention was torn by the explosion of one of the three mo tors located in the stern gondola. Three of the airship's crew were seri ously injured. The Zeppelin VI ascended at 11.20 o'clock with 12 passengers for a trip to Heilbronn. The airship had covered about 20 miles when a motor Jn the forward gondola acted hadlv.^ After sometime had been spent in a futile effort to make repairs the airship re turned here. The accident occurred as the dirig ible was being slowly worked into her shed here. The defective motor had been operating as usual, when suddenly the crew were whirled from their posts in the rear gondola as the craft trembled and lurched. There was sharp report, a flash of flames and in a moment the immense fabric of can vas was afire. The crew tumbled over (Continued on Page Twelve.) THE WEATHER FAIR AND COOL.

I shall make every effort to carry out those promises. The victory is in finitely greater than a mere party tri umph; it is a victory for the people >f this State. Maine knew what it wanted and voted for it. It is a victory for the people of Maine, not a personal one. The people of Maine trusted me and I shall he faithful to the trust." Mr. Plaisted is going: to take a few days’ rest and lose himself for a short time to get away from thousands of con gratulatory letters and telegrams from all sections of the country and every state in the union. Possible Contest In First District Portland, Me., Kept. 14.—An applica tion was made today by an attorney, representing William M. Pennell, Democratic candidate for Congress from the 1st Maine District, asking City Clerk Cummings the privilege of inspecting the check lists and ballots iisid in the election of Monday in this city. No charges were made, counsel lor Mr. Pennell simply asking to see tin check lists and ballots. Che question was taised by counsel representing Asher C. Hinds of Port land, tlie successful candidate against Mr. Pennell by a margin of 703. wheth er the city cierk could legally allow the I aib'ts to be inspected without an order of court. After hearing both sides Clerk Cum mings said that following the usuages nr the town and city clerks of the state, he should permit the inspection under proper safeguards, but if counsel for Mr Hinds desired in order to bring tiie matter before the courts to obtain an injunction against the inspection ha would withhold permission until such action could he taken. No intention of taking this step was indicated bj i ounsel for Mr. Hinds, and it was agreed that tlie Inspection should take place tomorrow. It was intimated by i ounsel that !n ease evidence was found to warrant it. Mr. Hind's elec tion would be contested in the National House. The State law provides that the bal lots shall be kept as a "Public record” ■nr a period of six months following tiie election. Notice has been served on the town and city clerks of the entire district that a request will he made for an ex amination of the ballots in each vot ing district.

Me., Sept. 14—Three nues iinns were submitted to the people of Maine on Monday for on expression of opirion and this was the lirst applica tion of the principle under an act pass d by the Legislature in 1907 confined u> acts of the Legislature subject to a petition of lO.OOo names being tiled to entire reference. The lirst question pertained to the Milliken bill, so-called, which barred ill beverages having in excess of 1 per cut. alcohol or requiring the payment of a federal tax. The second had to do with an act dividing the town of York and forming an other town to be call 1 (forges. The third was in relation to a hill which provided for an elabo i ate new bridge across Portland har 1 or to connect the cities of Portland and South Portland and do away with ice crossing of railroad tracks styled the graduation of death. All three questions undoubtedly were defeated by a wide margin. Returns received fr- m town clerks i nd tabulated by the Associated Press •re at hand from 338 out of 721 places. Tint gave pluralities of 6129 against ‘he alcohol bill. .7755 against the York division and 7712 against the Portland ridge bill.

The Meet Will Close Today With Another Faney Program. Boston, Sept. 14.—Fancy aeropianlng was the order of exercises at the Har vard aviation field today and the email crowd which patronized the first day's extension of the Harvard-Boston aero meet which officially cloned last night as far as regular competitions went, were rewarded hy some of the most in teresting work of the meet. Ralph Johnstone and Walter Brook ins were the star performers of the af ternoon and did about every turn possi ble with their massive biplanes until Wilbur Wright feared for their safety and ordered them to desist. John stone’s favorite stunt was to indulge in steep volplanes, shutting his engine almost completely off and floating laz ily for a moment on an even keel, then suddenly shooting down through space until he barely touched the grass blades on the ground. Then would come a series of Dutch rolls, as lie swooped up and down close to earth. Brookins performed the most daring feat of the afternoon in making his* famous short turn, standing ills biplane almost on end as he made a complete circ le *n scarcely more than 6 seconds. He reached an angle of better than Sd degrees on the turns. dlonn H. Curtiss came out with high power motor in his Albany flyer, while Charles F. Willard used his sec ond machine and the two with Claude Grahamo-White in hie Farman anil Johnstone In the Wright competed in fpnev stunts at the same time over the course. Curtiss .and ills former pupil Wifiard made several circuits of the course in a match speed race and Cur tiss did the host time he has shown, covering 5 1-4 miles in 6 minutes. 10 S-K seconds. White came cut in his Blerittt monoplane for the final show of the day and sailed well over the city and har bor. The meet will close tomorrow with a number of contests In addition to the exhibitions of fancy work. Glenn H. Curtiss will race Clarrtdt* Grahamo-White of England 5 1-4 mllej* for a cup olfered hy the Harvard Aeronautical Society.

Such an operation would be almost unique, foi many reasons. The first of them wps that mighty few people are willing t' give up a portion of their eyes to make another person’s sight good. Olhei reasons yeere easily to he found in tin manifest delicacy of such yvork yvitn even the finest instruments held in the most skilful hands, for a out one Imndrefh of an inc-li too deep migh' result in destroying the least ppssibl* remaining ehance of the eye eV’er being able to perform its functions. But this yvoman had prayed the siir gcons to give her her sight. "I have never seen iny mother or my sisters!” she cried. "I have never seen the beautiful world, the flowers or anything. Oh. for one sight of the. things about me!” The voting locomotive builder yva a. brave chap. The doctors thought o' him. and Dr. T.. Webster Fox. Pro lessor of Opthalmology at the Medina Chirurgiea! College, told him of the young woman and asked him if la would nlloyv part of one rtf’ Ids sight less eyes to be transplanted to hors The young man agreed and the opera lion was performed. The cornea of tile young woman's eye yvas cut open and a large part oi it, a pieee nearly a quarter of an inch long and one-eighth of an inch yvide was removorl. The* voting: man s ove bad previously been subjected to tli. knife, and a part of the cornea, a piece corresponding to that taker from the young yvoman’s eye, cut out When the dead crystalline lens insid. tlie young woman's eye had been re moved and the opacity of the spao behind the diseased cornea removed the piece from the young man's oy yvas quickly put into place on lie fresh yvound. bandages yvero applied to tlie girl’s eyes and the most inter esting part of the experiment began. They had to yva it for nearly a woof before the bandage could lie removed and during this time one may imagine the suspense under which tin- girl la h >reri. Would tlie pain of tlie opera tion be repaid with sight? Or would it ell he for naught-merely another disappointment? The doctors stood around her on that fateful day as Dr. Fox removed tin bandage. Tlie girl sat up and stared about tier. Suddenly she trembled and nut a hand to her men led eye. Thcr she removed it after a pause and looked about her. Looked is the yyord. for she saw. She actually sayv! Tlie operation was. then, entirely successful, and there is no doubt, say those in charge of the r.-isv that tie young yvoman. yvho is less Mian years of age. yy-i|| have fair sight with Ids eve on which tlie cornea of a man's is crafted. This, however, is not the ye how it is really a round ball, set in a deep socket ami attached to it tnehnrage by the optic nerve. This serve spreads out, as it comes foryvard ind is transformed into a. holloyv halt inside of yvhieh all is dark, like i!u hack part of a camera.

Tile inner lens is a little round rtys tal, perfectly transparent, that catches i tie picture as it comes through a lioli ailed tlie pupil. Outside the pupil guarding it from dancer, is the cornea so arranged that the light is drawn in through ttie cornea, through the pup I !o the crystalline lens within and thence to the registering plate, the ret ina, which, instead of printing the pic ture indelibly, tells the brain about it through t’>e optie nerve. The arrangement of this wonderful pair of organs, however, is easily thrown ].it of gear, and until recent, rears, when a man or woman became blind there was small chances of his of her regaining the cherished sight. Modern science, however, has given great study to the eye, and to the pos sibilities of correcting and restoring vision, with the result that some or the operations performed are almost akin to miracles. An ironworker named Frank Post, working on a new building at ft road wav and Cortlandt street. New York City, one day in 1907. heard a shout of alarm, and looked up Just in time to be strip k in one eye by a red-hot rivet. He was taken unconscious to St. Gego ry's Hospital, where Dr. J. H.

La rone, Miss Harriett Brophy; Bates school. Miss Leslie Cameron, Martin Stream, Miss Katherine Murphy; music teacher. Miss Frances Cate. A change is being made this year in the grading of the schools which it is thought will be a great benefit. No child under five years of age will gn ter school, and this child will be put in Grade I at the beginning. This will enable a scholar to finish their school work in !i years instead of 10 as for merly. Of course this depends en tirely upon the scholars as to whether they are able to keep up to the stand ard that they must to do the work in this time. Otherwise they will have to drop back to a lower grade. Everything looks well for a prosper ous school year, as the new teachers come highly recommended, and good work is assured from the teachers who have been in the work previously to this year.

Prof. Robertson, after Inspection, Finds Great Possibilities. St. Johns. N. F. Sept. 14.-A new era tn the life of Newfoundland Is opened up by tlio report of Prof. Robertson, a fa mous Canadian agriculturist, who has just completed a fortnight of inspection of various parts of the Island, inspecting the agricultural possibilities here.

This Is much bet lit in must ready-orepared hair tonic* as it contains nothing to make the li air coarse, sticky or stringy. It will remove the dandruff and stop your hair front coming out. You will tlnd it an ideal dressing for the hair and very refreshing to an itching scalp. n. M. n.: (a) no not let vo -r mis ties 11 worry you. Kven though you have spent muity dollars trying different so-called "tlesli-pr n'uoers wi.no of them doing a bit of good, I want you to try this one. 1 have many friends who tell me It did wonders for the •let four ounces of parnotls from any drug store, dissolve it in l1* pints not water and tuke a tablespoonful a few minutes helote each meat. II is hamve and will cut down your- fat rapidly with out the necessity of dieting or strenuous exercising, tld That good eczema reme dy you usk lor is called luxor. A. l‘\ S.: To be sure, health and beau ty go hand In hand. Indigestion and sluggish liver cause Impure blood, which In turn breeds ugly blotches, pimples and skin eruptions, accompanied often by de nresslon. melancholia and headaches. These may he all removed by the judi cious use of a simple home-made svstetn tonic and blood purifier, made as follows: Dissolve one ounce of kardene and one half cup of sugar in one-half pint alco hol; then add enough hot water to make a full quart of the remedy. Take a tablo spoonful before each meal. Kardene stimulates the digestion, arouses a tor pid liver purifies the blood and gives tone to ill* whole system. Bv a natural pro cess the complexion is cleared, the "tired feelinei' vanishes, and energy and enjoyment of life returns. O. K. A.: It -may he all right to use dry shampoo powder where you ar- very careful to brush out all of the powder: otherwise It will clog up the pores In the scalp and cause dandruff, the very thing Vou should avoid. To keep vour hair looking bright and healthy and make It stay in curl, you must not use a sham poo that contains alkali, as soaps and most shampoos do. Dissolve a teaspoon ful of oanthrox In a cup of hot water and you have a shampoo that can't be ex celled. It will r-"inove all excess oil and dirt, and leave yo,nr scaln free from Irri tation. This shampoo dries quickly with out causing streaky, faded patches In the *>alr. It Will make your hair soft and fluffs- so it will stay up ami look nice without the use of a hair net or veil. Doris: If you wish to make a Krease less complexion cream jelly that wuj quickly clear vour complexion or freckles, tan and sunburn without the necessity of several months' treatment, you can easily prepare it at home by mixing together an ounce of almozoln, two teaspoonfuls glycerine and pint cold water: stilly briskly and let stand over night. Where applied fre quently you will find this an excellent cream for removing wrinkles, blackheads, freckles, roughness and other skin blem ishes. It will leave the skin smooth, clear and velevty. and is a matchless preparation for massaging and reducing tiie size of large pores In the skin. T If.- Plain delatone is the best thing I ever heard of to remove superfluous hairs from the face and forearms. It costs much less than the electric needje. is painless and requires little m course, the hairs may return, but If they do they will be thin and light in vo.or— scarcely discernible. A second or thud application will rid you permanently of the annoying hairs. Delatone costs a dollar an ounce, but one ounce is all you will over need.

Maine. m ~=a Oh, yes, Maine Democrats can "come back.” Oet busy, kids, and work as hard as you have played. .^1,: Maine, also, had an aviation meet— did you see 'em go up? Walt Mason asserts that he isn’t dead and hasn't been dead. Well, that Democratic rooster had been shut up for thirty years. It Isn't the size of the bills but the denomination that interests us. Of all the poultry at the fairs that Democratic rooster takes the prize. Senator I.orimer says he Is going to explain. "Some things are better left unsaid.” The municipality of Paris offers a plum of 120.000 to aviators—If they can fly up to it. That Kngllsh aviator, Robert Lor raine, who flew -13 miles and swam two deserves credit for adaptability il not entire success as a bird man. 'I\|ic man who got a hunting instead if the marriage license lie wished per haps may become convinced that lie wus being "let off easy." Mere's a question for ttie arithmetic class: If cotton persists in soaring around the 20 cent mark and sheep are all converted into mutton, how long will it take a ten-year-old lad to wear out a pair of shoddy pants Reports of betterment in the iron and steel trade are supported by the fact that there tire more imiuries in tin* market, more orders are going to the mills, and shipments bf material are heavier to consumers at present, than In any period for some months. A lower condition of stocks is indi cated, and fall delivery buying is soon expected. When the I'pper Iowa Methodist Conference convened in Charles City this week it faced a shortage of pfenclipim for r.7 charges. That num ber pastors quit the ministry to engage in secular work, because their salaries are too small lo meet the present high cost of living. Verily, tile ways of Providence arc beyond in terpretation. l-'rcdcrick .1 Qiilnby, an amateur aviator, who lives at Babylon. I. I., took out his biplane at sunset today for a flight across the country to the home of a friend, who had invited him over to take tea. Tile trip was without incident, lint in attempting to alight on the lawn in front of liis friend's house he fouled u pole and dropped fin feet to the ground, dislo cating Ills left shoulder and suffered internal injuries. Tills "dropping in" to tea isn't all it's cracked up to be. Wealth in Our Water Powers. Other st at pa are awakening t the ticenasi)\ nf slate control of water power unit other wealth of the nation al domain which produces revenue if properly handled for the benefit of the people. This has become an established policy of the Itepulilican part* of Maine, and cannot be ignored or neglected by the party which is just coining into power. In round num bers. from half to three-quarters of toe country's water power, is now in lands wholly under state law. except ns a stream Is navigable. Water pow er, follows rain fall, and the great share or ttie American rainfall is east of tlie Mississippi river. Mountains have very little to do with water pow er Drainage basins of no large areu. possessing a steady Mow, and under a rainfall of over thirty-live inches a year, well distributed through the twelve months, furnish the best con ditions for water power. These condi tions exist in this country, principally In tlie states east of tlie Mississippi and north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers, and with additional water pow er territory in tlie Southern Appala chians. liainfull in this region, how ever. is more capricious in its fall throughout the year. In 1908. this country developed water power to the amount of r>.356,680 horse power. Two fifths of this is In New England and New York, or 1,996.000 horse power. Pennsylvania has more possible water power than New York and New Eng land put together, if Niagara Falls he omitted, hut had developed, in 19t*S, but 291,00*1 horse power. This is be cause cheap coal lias postponed the day, while in New England tlie demand for “white coal” began early. Maine is not only interested deeply In conserving her water power, as well as other natural resources, for the good of the whole people, but In Inducing capital to develop the great sources of wealth which the State yet has as p. source of revenue. Cups of Campaign Comfort. There are measures of comfort for Republicans in the results of the campaign just closed that do not ap pear at first glance. One is the Iphilosophical and kindly way in which defeated candidates accept the verdict of the ballots. The size of the Democratic victory is a comfort in that it expresses a general discontent rather than feeling toward any one candidate or faction. Democrats more than Republicans are today ex pressing regret that it is so difficult to cut a ballot that many voters dare not trust the attempt. Democracy has the horse and the plow; now let them go ahead and raise a crop. If it is the right sort they may be able to retain their hold on the ballot in two years from now, but it may not be out of place to sug gest that it is a mighty sight easier to sit on the fence and sass the plowman than it is to hold the plow. Maine Republicans recall with pride the dignified and clean fight waged by Gov. Bert M. Fernald. He is ever the frank, courteous, candid and good-tempered gentleman. He has nothing to regret in his remembrances of the campaign. In defeat Gov. Fernald shows his quality—lie wishes good luck to his successor and pledges him every aid and comfort toward an easy and successful ad ministration. We congratulate Gov. Fernald on his showing. Republicans are proud of him and Democrats respect him. Maine patrons of hus bandry will remember the caliber of the man in their ranks. Sometimes so-called defeat is victory in dis guise. With the Maine Farmers. A Somerset county correspondent writes interestingly of co-operative work for improving the dairy. He piotes Assistant Dairy Instructor H. VV. Redman of t'orinna, as declaring that Maine leads the procession. Mr. Redman has just returned front a tour of observation through the states of Michigan and Wisconsin and the Province of Ontario. He says that the methods here have all the good features of those in the places he visited, and a great many not in vogue there. That many of these methods are identical is to he expected, since the Maine plans were laid after a careful study of conditions in the West, hut the advance since made here has not been duplicated there. Perhaps the fundamental difference lies in the fact that Maine has carefully planned for the future, while the Westerners have been content to simply meet condi tions ol today. In organizing a cow testing association in tile West, the state authorities have simply taken charge of the preliminaries, and then have turned the enterprise adrift. Meetings are held only lor the elec tion of officers or formal transaction of business. In Maine all records are kept in triplicate: one copy goes to the individual member, one to the as sociation, and the third to the depart ment of agriculture. Here at Au gusta, these records are carefully checked each month so that any er rors- or omission are promptly spotted. In this way, the work of the tester is kept up to the mark. Hut it is in holding the monthly meetings that Maine has the longest lead. It is here that the members get together and compare their experi ences in the light of performance records. Thus they sort out the best ideas found good from common experience, and this method is bring ing about marked progress. Rut best of all is the sprit growing out of these conferences. Members come to a better acquaintance and understand ing, and mutual esteem is paving the way for better business co-operation. Farm topics are becoming not only more interesting to the farmers themselves, but to residents in vil lages and cities, and the liking even pervades the sanctum of the sanc torum. We have been deeply inter ested in some of the points made by Scretary of Agriculture Wilson at the National Conservation Congress at Ft. Paul last week. Perhaps his words were more pleashig to us because of their voicing the ideas which have become something of a hobby of ours. He declared that the most important farm conservation is undoubtedly the preparation of farm youth for better farm management. He said that we have inherited our system of educa tion that look to the farm for the best material to reinforce the professions and industries. Rducation has. there fore. prepared young people for everything but farm life. The American Congress saw this a half a century ago. and provided for agricul tural colleges in all the states. These colleges have grown and are prepar ing teachers. It is difficult to change or materially modify the education of the people interwoven with their his tory. their industries, their litera ture. their traditions and religion, but it is being done in our country. Re search is accumulating facts along the life lines of our people. The peo ple read the publications treating of tleld and forest, the soils and its crops, tlie animal and its well being. Twenty million pieces of literature relating to the farm were sent out by the department of agriculture during the last fiscal year. The state agri cultural colleges all contribute to the volume of printed matter relating to the farm. Irrigation ami dry land fanning, new bread and fodder plant*, the growing of sugar beets to make 500,000 tons of sugar last year, the prospect of using the carbon dioxide of our atmosphere to make all of our sweetening, the development of rice on the Gulf Coast to equal our con sumption, the study of tobacco of home growth to save the nation's money, the exploration of the Old World for plants to increase the food of the people and add to its variety. All these and a thousand other activi ties that affect agriculture the people read about. There are well known methods of farm management which out best Maine farmers are practising, and. these methods bring good results. The domestic animals have been associat ed with profitable farming from the earliest times. The pasture on which the animal grazes is the hest known method of restoring the necessary physical condition that is impaired by cultivation, as well as being the source of cheapest production. When a farmer desires a heavy crop ol any kind he ploughs up a pasture anil seeds down another. onunuai cultivation ami uar commercial fertilizers, without sys tems of rotation, or domestic animals, is advised by some latter day ad venturers in agriculture, but the re sults are not permanently good, and where this method has had long trial it has brought disappointment. 11 our country is to grow and develop as a patriotic people hope, we must con serve the fertility of our soil; and the moisture that is precipitated, not only on our farms, but that which falls upon the higli lands and now flows idly to the sea in all sections of our country must be conserved. Maine farmers are learning these tilings, and their sons in the agricul tural colleges are learning more, and tile fatiier goes to school to the son. The spirit of tile times, as well as the inspiration of the schools and the methods adopted, is bringing about that better understanding and better appreciation of the benefits and real happiness to be obtained from the farm home, more effectively than could have been dreamed of a quarter of a century ago. It is our desire not only to congratulate the Maine farmer and his sons and his daugh ters. but to adopt every means in our power to encourage and inspire those things which make toward the general welfare of the State and the nation. Coming as it does through the real builders of the independence and the mainstay of our people, it is a matter of tile utmost importance to the peo ple as a whole to increase the interest in farm life and tints the production ol the necessities of the home and in that manner reduce tile high cost of living.

With New York's huge population, particularly that in the greater city, cut into dis tricts t,y a Democratic Legislature, tl.at State alone would make so large a contribution, as with the solid South almost to insure Democratic control of Congress: particularly would tills be true if the Democrats retain control of the Indiana Legisla ture. They could then do as they did in the nineties—nuns the Republican majorities in a single distriet, making ail the rest in the State nominally Democratic. They could also arrange legislative districts so as to give them the I'nited States senatorsliips for a decade, too. Tlie outlook is thus not happy for tiie Republican any. and hardly less so for the business interests of the country, in spite of Wall Street's com placency today. It has long been said that tiiis year looks like 18R0. in the contests thus far recorded, it looks very much more Democratic than did that memorable v«ar: and yet those voters who saw what came out of the victories of lSi*fi may well pause lie lore demanding tle-ir re-enactment. The Democratic victory, culminating in the presidential election of two years later, was followed by a period of prolonged business depression from which the country only began to recover with tlie Spanish Wai P'-riod. For neatly ten years tlie industries of tin* country merely marked time. Does it want another spell of slackened activities.’ This is tile Issue n iw before tlie voters. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Take $25,000 in Jewels From the Colleges 't Oi Pf«ilOMlSimioer Residents At Providence, R. I. Jobbers Km False Key wand Lein No Gina Behind. Providence, R. I., Sept. 14.—Two daring burglaries were reported to the police today, one at the summer home of.Judge LeBaron B. Colt of the Unit fji States circuit court at Bristol, -.whore more than $15,000 in Jewels and rftoney was stolen last night and the Other at the Kneval cottage at Watch Htjl, where Jewels belonging to Mrs. E.-M.’ Burrlll of Waterbury, Conn., and AojMts. Thatcher of Boston to the cahje of $10,000 were taken. No clues ywwedgft by the robbers at either pihce. 'The burglars evidently gained aiMtfance to the houses by means of f&lfc The robbery of Judge Colt’s house was one of the most daring ever per ptitrated In the state. The burglars entered late last night or early this morning and going to,the room on the second floor where Judge Colt and Mrs. Colt were sleeping, ransacked the bureau drawers, taking all of Mrs. Colt’s Jewels, manj’ of which were family heirlooms. Judge Colt’s pock etbook, containing about $100 was tak en from his trousers packet and Mrs. Colt’s pocketbook, containing about $35 was also stolen. That the robbers were after nothing but jewelry and money Is evidenced by the fact that no watches or silver plate was stolen. The robbery at Watch Hill occurred oh, Monday night, although it was not reported to the police until today. The Jewels stolen at the Kneval cot tage Included a pearl necklace belong ing to Mrs. Burrlll and valued at $5000; another pearl necklace owned by Mrs. Thatcher and valued at $3000 and other smaller Jewelry aggregating about $3000. It Is believed that both robberies were made by the gang which has been operating at Narragansett Pier, Mattapolsett, Mass., and other places throughout the summer. In all of the hMiBes entered at the pier this sum mer, no silver plate or other goods of that kind were taken, the robbers seek ing only jewelry and money. The Bristol police have notified all the surrounding cities and towns to be on the lookout for the burglars. All of the jewelry stolen from the Watch Hill house was taken from the room In which the two women were sleeping. Mrs. Thatcher Is Mrs. Bur r Ill's' sister. insurgents sweep clean.

Sept. 14.—dn the In surgent storm that swept over the state of Washington yesterday, the Old Guard of the Republican party lost everything. Miles Poindexter of Spokane, on Insurgent leader in the present House, was nominated for United States senator by 40,000 plural ity, carrying every county In the state, defeating his leading opponent, Judge Thomas Burke of Seattle, In Burke’s awn precinct, and carrying Pierce county, the home of the other regular candidate, Bates M. Ashton.. Two. probably three, of the Insur gents were nominated for Congress. In the 1st Congressional District there were four Insurgent candidates. In King county, William E. Humph rey. Stand Pat Insurgent candidate, was defeated by Thomas P. Revelle. However, Humphrey carried four other counties. There being live candidates, the electors under the law' marked "the second choice on the ballot. As no candidate received the necessary 40 per cent, of all the votes, the first and second choice votes must be add ed, and the candidate who receives a plurality of this total will win. Humphrey seems to have received -40 per cent, of the first choice vote in the district, Insuring his norntna tton In the 2nd or. Tacoma District, Con gressman W. W.

South Paris, Me., Sept. 14.—(Special Make Your “Meat Shredded Wheat These are troublous times for the man who eats food. The Government is after the beef trust, the poultry trust and “the cold storage egg”. But while con gress, state legislatures and grand juries are “investi gating” the nigh cost of living, your meat bills and grocery bills are soaring higher and higher. The food problem is an easy one if you know' It contains more real body-building nutriment than meat or eggs, is more easily digested and costs much less. Always clean—always pure—always the same price. Your grocer sells it. Shredded Wheat Biscuit is made of the whole wheat, steam-cooked,. shredded and baked in the cleanest, finest food factory in the world. It is ready-cooked, l ready-to-serve. Two Shredded Whett Biscuits heated in the oven to restore crispness, and eaten with a little hot milk, and salted or sweetened to suit the taste, will supply all the energy needed for a half-day’s work. If you like it for breakfast, you will like it for any meal in combination with vegetables, baked apples, sliced bananas, stewed prunes or other fruits. ALL THE “MEAT” OF THE GOLDEN WHEAT The second day of the Oxford County fair was attended by 1800 people. Only one accident marred the sport. Robert Blair, a stable boy, who works for F. O.

I he subjects which will be taught will include:—The utritive V aluesr f Various hoods and How to Prepare Them; t.iere will be redoes for cooking dainty and practical dishes; they will suggest means of building up the children’s minds and bodies; they will go into the question of what cuts of meats to buy; ami in short, the information contained in these lessons will be so valuable, and of such every day use to every housewife in this city, that we believe that you will find it to ri°«UT>aC Cept our bivitation to enroll your name in the BARS! OW FRC E SCHOOL OF DOMESTIC SCIENCE. As an example of what you may expect, we reproduce herewith a copy of Lesson No. 1. The subject of Lesson No. 2 is “How to Preserve Grapes. I cee Schools^ Conducted by Madelain Moss LESSON No. 1 In taking up the task of trying to teach the principles of domestic economy to women df this city, I fed a great responsibility." I have a keen-appreciation of your needs and I think I will be able to show you, in many ways, how to effect small economies in your household expenses, and to show you how to make the dollars stretch to the fullest limits. Now, while the money part of housekeeping is always the biggest item, no less important is the proper cooking of the food you place on the table for your family, so the lessons 1 am going to teach will take up in a simple way what to cook; how to cook it; what the nutritive values of the various kinds of foods are, and in short, 1 am. going to cover during the next six months, as many phases of this interesting cjuestion as is possible. am going to start off the course with “A SIMPLE BREAKFAST” MENU Orange Juice Oatmeal with Cream Soft Cooked Eggs I°ast French Coffee delicious breakfast can be prepared with bflie trouble and expense. All the foods necessary 1 ,r body and brain development are included in it. liy little trouble I do not mean that you can pre pare this breakfast in five minutes time, nor do I mean that you will have to sit in the kitchen for twi» or three hours while the cereal is being prepared I would suggest that you cook this the day before and when ready to serve in the morning just reheat. It would be wise to carefully select your coffee, in my own household experience, and in all classes I teach, I advise the use of a blend of Mocca and Java and which can be bad at most grocers for about 2H c**nts a pound. A saving: here is always followed by inferior coffee, and since coffee is so important a part of the enjoyment of a meal, it is hardly worth while to stint on just that one particular. The following are the recipes for preparing the menu above outlined. Read over each menu care fully and see to it that you thoroughly uudeistand wnat »s wanted. 4 RECIPES Oat Meal (U. O.) or Rolled Oats 1/2 Cup Rolled Oats 3/4 Cup Water 1/4 Cup Milk 1/2 Teaspoon Salt METHOD—Stir one-half cup of rolled oats fnto the three quarter cup of boiling, salted water Let this cook in a double boiler for three hours, l.asm 1 stir in flic milk. If necessary to hasten the cooking of a cereal, boil it from 15 to 20intuutes directly over the flame, then finish cooking it in a double boiler. SOFT-COOKED EGGS Put water in a saucepan, let it come to a boiling point, lower the eggs into it with a spoon so as not to break them. See that there is plenty of-'boiling water to cover them. Remove at once from fire. Let them stand covered in this boiling water from ight to ten minutes, according to taste. This is the most digestible way of cooking eggs, as it coagu lates the albumen without hardening it. TOAST Stale bread is preferable both for economy and quality. Cut the bread in slices about one-half Inch thick, leaving the slices whole, and tin not remove crusts, as this is the most healthful pait of bread or toast. Lay bread on a toaster, holdover a bright flame, turning frequently so thbt it becomes an even brown on both sides. Toast nlay be butterfrd at once (better not to for health’s sake). This may be done by melting butter in a saucepan and pouring it over toast (this is a more economical way than spreading the toast with butter). FRENCH COFFEE (Enough for Four Cupt) 1/2 Cup Ground Coffee 3 Cups Boiling Water METHOD—Put the coffee in the strainer of French coffee pot. Place pot on back of stove. Gradually add the boiling water, half cup at a time, keeping the pot covered between times. The coffee may be poured through the strainer a second time, this makes it stronger.

Unique Me’hod of Determing Who Are the Hundred Greatest Americans Which Americans are r ally famous and which are not? Is there any way oi telljns who are the hundred most fa mous Americans? This question became a serious one with .Mr. Al. I*, Riming, of fumhrid.ce, Mass., as lie tells us when he undertook to study the family history of celebrated Americans in a manner sim ilar to that employed by In. A. A. Woods in investigating the liistory of Kuroptum royal families. Wood's book entitled •Heredity in Royalty*' UlfWi is well known. Says Mr. l.hAing: "The question at once arose, which are the 100, tile 7.*.. or the SO leading American names? In sliort, which families should he studied? Tiie object in seeking the leading names, of course, was not the list per se. hot to secure a basis tor tarther study. This study will include the traits and characteristics of ancestors' and de scendants, their birthplaces, education, achievements, &c. The material li’s to. tiie most part in histories and hiosia phies. These •measurements in history* statistically and objectively treated, and followed by scientific analysis of causes, constit ute •historiometry.’ ••The I iall-of-Kame movement, far as it goes, would seem, on account ot tiie remarkable personnel of tiie electors, their geographical distribution, and othoi considerations, tn afford an easy way out of the difiicuHy. I ndoobtedlj tie’ elec tors have done a great work which in general llie thinking public mast accent. Certain peculiarities disclosed in thy llail-of-famc reports, however, together with tin' fact that the I lall-of-Kame se lections include only- a very limited num ber of names, led to a. search for some other methods of rating fame. “The first method taken was a so-called adjective method and the second wa;' space method. The ‘adjective method •»f determining lam**, as we applied it, con sists in simply counting the descriptive adjectives of praise applied to the name in a given work or number of works.

The surface of the road on the hill was left full of rocks.

Frank Daniels, comedian by gift of nature, conies to the Opera House" theatre Sept. 22 in “The nolle of Brit tany," a musical comedy which the Messrs. Shubert selected for him as Mr. Daniels’ tirst starring vehicle un der their management. First pro duced fit Daly’s Theatre. New York, the play met with generous approval, tin tour Mr. Daniels was told that he had the best play of his career. So successful was the tour that the play is being retained as eminently suited to the talents of the "funny little fel low." The piece was originally play ed in London. The score is by How ard Talbot, composer of "A Chinese Honeymoon,” the lyrics by Percy Greenbank and the book by Leedliam Bantoek and P. J. Barrow. Marie Horne has contributed additional numbers. The company in support of Mr. Daniels is a large one. “The Blue Mouse.” Here is how "The Blue Mouse, a "Salomer,” for $2,000 a month, gets a clerk promoted to the post of division superintendency of a trolley line. Clyde Fitch wrote the story and what is saiil to be one of the cleverest companies of farce players will relate the story at the Opera House next Monday night when K. J. Carpenter brings tlie German-American success to this city for the first time. The clerk, Rollett by name, loves bis wife and desires to improve their condition. His superior, I.ewellyn, president of the Inter-State Railroad. Is also married, but to a shrew, which fact seems to inspire him to flirt with every pretty woman. Therefore. Rol lett hires "The Blue Mouse" to im personate liis real wife and flirt with Lewcllyn, paying her highly if she will capture for him an order appoint ing his division superintendent. Here is opportunity for suggestiveness, but so masterfully has Mr. Fitch bandied the story that any thought of the gross is removed and the audience reaps only hearty laughs. Of course, Mrs. Lewcllyn is drawn into the trujublg, as welt as the real M'rfe, Rol lett atid her fat her of Cohoes, who unexpectedly drops into thee city. y Seats Friday morning.

SOME FAMOUS DEAD HEATS. Thrilling Neck knd Neck Finishes Made At Big Races. A dead heat on the race course Is an event of extremely rare occurrence, which makes that between the Derby winner, Lemberg, and Neil Gow in the Eclipse Stakes of £10,000 at Sandown Park recently of more than passing in terest. Despite the great value of the stake there were only six competitors in this race, and, so far as the spec tators were concerned, there were only the two above named in it. Neil Gow had beaten Lemberg in the One Thou sand Guineas, but the latter horse turned the tables by winning the Derby, in which Neil Gow was not even placed. Lemberg, therefore, was favorite for the Eclipse Stakes; but although in the earlier stages of the race he held a. lead of several lengths. Neil Gow gradually reduced it. The finish was a most exciting one. the horses doing their very best and the jockeys strain ing every nerve to got the lead. As they flashed past the judges’ box it was impossible to say what the ver dict would he, but as a matter of fact the pair finished together, and the sub stantial f takes wtT" diVided. It may be a long time before another such thrilling finish is witnessed. The next most recent notable head heat was that which happened in the race known as the French Derby a couple of seasons ago. On this occa sion quite a sensation was caused by Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt's horse. Sea Sick II., running a dead heat with M. Ed Descliamps's Quintelle. In the whole history of the Epsom Derby, extending to 130 years, there have been only two dead heats. For the last we have to go back nearly a quarter of, a century. This was in tlie race rati in the year 1884, when two candidates for the blue ribbon of the turf, Mt. Gatien, (lie property of Mr. joint Hammond, and Harvester, be longing to £?ir John Willoughby, proved inseparable at the winning post and consequently divided the Stakes. a The only other instance in which th" ■Derby resulted in dead heat occurred no fewer than S3 years ago. The hors es concerned in it were Cadlanrl and The Colonel, and it is interesting to recall that in the decidfng race the for mer proved the victor, to the great gra tification of the then Duke of Rutland, its owner. The most famous dead heats after the above will not take much space to chronicle. Some 42 years ago there was one in the Two Thousand Guineas race. This was between two favorite mounts, Moslem and Formosa, who ran past iiie winning post neck and neck amid greatest excitement. Titere was much the same scene at the conclusion of the St. Leger of just about 60 years ago. Always a great popular race, it was doubly interesting on this occasion on account of the dead heat which it quite unexpectedly pro duced. The contestants responsinle for it were named Voltigeur and Russbor ougb, ar.d the way in which the two horses contrived to get home together, with absolutely nothing to choose be tween them, greatly pleased the crowd, or that portion of it which had not backed other competitors. In more than a single respect and e great deal ntorp remarkable, though, was a dead heat which the racing sea son of isr>7 produced. It occurred in the race for the Cesarewitch, when- the utmost unique result of a triple dead heat ensued. The horses which achiev ed this extraordinary distinction are known to history as Prioress, El Hit kip' and Queen Bess. There was, more over, not a great deal between the trio in the deciding race that followed, though quite enough tor the purpose. To this victory went to Prioress, with George Ford ham in the saddle. She came in a length and a half ahead of El Hakim, but the last named was only a head in front of Queen Bess for second place. Probably the smartness of the jockeys was as great a factor in producing this result as the speed of their mounts. In dealing with a subject of this kind it would scarcely be fair to over look a performance at Sandown Park. 22 years ago. On July 26, 1888, there was run on tin' course a five-furlong race known as the Surbiton Handicap. On the occasion in question 111 horses started, eight of thein .being beaten by thq first and s» cQjid favorites. These were Mr. f*. J. Merry’s" Deuce of Clubs and General Owen Williams’s St a Song file two providing the spectators with tlie sensation of a perfect dead beat. In the deciding race—a misnomer in this particular instance—the public fancy favored cite chances of ttiy sec ond favorite in the original race, but once again there was a dead luat. At the third time of asking a definite result was achieved, though only by a bare neck. The winner proved to be Deuce of Clubs, who bad again he come the favorite, but there was pre cious little in it.—Tid Bits. GULLEGE OF MILLINERY. Only Way in Which America Can Ever Establish Styles. It is saiil tha the National Associa lion nf Retail Milliners, which has been in session in Chicago this week, has decided to estublsh a college of mllinery in which all branches of the, milliner's art—and, should it not he added, philosophy—yyill be taught. Well, why not? They are teaching how to milliner, how to bake, and other bagatelles in the High schools and colleges. Why shouldn't the country move up a peg and establish a real college of millinery? The e^faert milliner can't be picked on of every bush. She or he—for there are some asexual milliners—is, at the best, much more than an artist. She must understand the lineaments of oeauty as traced in feathers and chif fon Hut she must also understand how to make the most outlandish shapes appeal to the notions of the hour. And she must be a thoughtful person, a true philosopher. Only a specially equipped college of millinery can give courses in the philosophy of milliner's tyranny, the study of the irrational, how to defend the trade from abrupt reactions—the reactions that make the style of a few years ago that or today, and so induce women to save their old hats and things—&c. dust why we should leave all of these things to Paris does net appear.

Beautiful Hair At Small Cost HAIR troubles, like tunny other diseases, have been wrongly diagnosed and alto gether misunderstood. The hair itself is not the thing to tie treated, for the reason that it is simply a product of the scalp and wholly dependent upon its action. The scalp is the very soil in which the hair is produced, nurtured and grown, and it alone should receive the attention if results are to be expected. It would do no eat^hlv good to treat the stem of a plant with a view of ranking it grow and become more beau tiful—the soil in which the plant grows must he attended to. Therefore, the scalp in which the hair grows must receive the attention if you are to expect it to grow and become more beautiful. Loss of hair is caused by*the scalp drying up, or losing its supply of moisture or nutriment; when baldness occurs the scalp has simply lost all its nourishment, leaving nothing for the hair to feed upon (a plant or even a tree" would die tinder similar conditions.) The natural thing to do in either case, is to feed and replenish the soil or scalp as the case may be, and your crop will grow and multiply as nature intended it should.

CRIPPEN SCORES A Point in Trial for Ibe Murder ot His Wife. 6ninmiMl Expert Says He Is URable to Tell Victim’s Sex. Sharply Cross»Examlnad by lha Counsel far Dafaaca. Ijondon, Sept. 14.—Testifying at the resumption today,of the Crippen mur der trial, Professor Augustus J. Pep per, the pathologist or the Unlversit} of London, said that ills examination had convinced him that the human parts found in the cellar of the Hill drop Crescent home were severed by a hand skilled in surgery, and directed by a mind that possessed real knowl edge of anatomy. Tre evidence of the medical experts has been awaited with eagerness and the famous little courtroom in Bow street was crowded to Its capacity. The prisoners in the dock presented contrasting appearances. Dr. Hawley H. Crlppen, who is charged as the principal In the murder of his wife, Belle Klmore, the Ameri can ac tress, was seemingly as cool and collected as ever. He did not miss a werd of the testimony and eagerly whispered to his solicitor, Arthur New ton. whenever he thought he had de tected a point In his favor. On ihe other hand, Ethel Clara Le Neve, accused as an accessory after the fact, was wan and plainly in men tal and physical distress. The police authorities had anticipated that the day would be a’trylng one for her and accordingly she was attended for the first time In court hy a wardress who sat close to her throughout the pro ceedings. Prof. Pepper was the first witness call ed by the prosecution. He described tin, examination which he had made of the parts and set fortli hia conclusions. Witness said that he had identified pieces of flesh as belonging to various parts of the body, except the head, hands, forearms, feet and legs below the knees. He could say that the mem bers found wer? undoubtedly from a human body. No bones were discov ered nor was there any (race of the genital organs. The whole viscera was present in tact and the only wound was a cut in the upper part or the windpipe. Other parts were left undisturbed by the one who did the rutting, and the way in which the parts had been separated convinced the expert that whoever was guilty of the mutilation did his work with an exactness horn of familiarity with the human body. Professor Pepper said that the hair discovered included a short strand or fair texture wrapped up In a hand Uni chief of the size commonly used by men. Witness identified particularly -i piece of flesh H by 7 Inches in size an coming from the abdominal wall and which bore a scar which in his opin ion. was undoubtedly left by a wound from an operation. Under cross-examination. Professor Pepper admitted that he had been till able to establish the sox of the vie tlm. The witness said that the scar was In a vertical direction and more than four Inches in length. It was old and might have been on the body for a year, possibly pay years. The condi tion of the organs recovered was healthy and in Ills tudgnipnt Indicated n atoutlsh person in middle life, whos" hair was dark brown, where it had been artificially bleached. V.’l^ness said that he found no trace of the sex. The parts lmd been buried for not less than four months and for not more than eight months. At this point Solicitor Newton took the witness in band and asked him to be more specific In his statement as to having found "no trace of sex." The profeasor agreed with counsel (hat it was Impossible for him in any man ner determine the sex from the parts of the body found and examined hy him This was considered ns of great im portance to the defence as it had been generally believed that although cer tain organs had been purposely re moved to conceal the identity of the victim, sufficient evidence would be in troduced to oidahtish that the body was that of a woman. The witness ex plained that he meant that he could not Identify the sex nnatomatically. He wns closely questioned regarding the scar by Newton, who tried to make nut that what appeared as a scar, might be merely Hn overlapping of the skin. "That suggestion is fantastical," re torted the pathologist. Solicitor Newton suggested that a man specialising in the car. nose and eve like Dr. Grippen would not qeoes sarlly be able to adroitly separato the members of a body hut Professor Pep per thought that such a specialist as counsel described would have a gen eral anatomical knowledge. Newton frequently exhibited heat when tile witness reiused to answer “Yes" or "No" without qualifying his replies. Counsel intimated that Drs. Wall and Turnbull, exi>orts engaged by the defence, had reached conclusions differing from those of Professor Pep per in some particulars and turning to fie witness said: "Your qualifications have nothing approaching theirs. Both are eminent among their number as you know.” A hrief re-direct examination by the erdv.-n closed the evidence offered by the witness, which was gruesome throughout Police Surgeon Marshall corrhorated the testimony of Peoprr. On cross-ex amina'ion he said that a body buried in clay and lime might he preserved for years. Witness said his Impression was that there were marks around the sear found on *ne abdomen whch had Ibeen nado bv the stitches taken in a wound. The trial was adjourned to Friday. London. Sept. 15.—According to a pub lished Interview, the line of defence to be followed by. Arthur Newton, counsel for Crlppen. will be that the remains are not Belle Elmore's and that the strips Of flesh showing an alleged operation scar cannot belong to the abdomen be of the ahsem-e of the umbilicus. S5090--2YEM Given Ernest Gerbracht, Sugar Trust Man. Slay on Appeal Branled-Bail Find at $25,000. Sontonoo or Heiko, “Man Higher Up” Is Still Pending. New York. Sept. 14.—Ernest W. Ger bracht, former superintendent of the Williamsburg refining dock of the Su gar Trust, who. with Charles R. jJed tierce was the lire that although ever> one rushed for the door in the bulk head three men perished, probably being cut off in the bunkers by the flames and noxious gases. Touching the faulty design of tin system the board found that there was a leak in the oil pipes which per mitted the escaping oil to drop upon tlie super-heater, causing it to flash and fire the oil in the settling tank The hoard finds that no blame for tlie fire or the damages therefrom at taches to any one serving on the North Dakota. Engineer-in-cliief Cone, commentine ur>on the report, says it contains nothing that will prevent the continued use of oil as a naval fuel.

THE GLOVER ENTANGLEMENTS. Mrs. Glover Seeks to Prevent Brother From Selling the Homestead. Boston. Sept. 14.—The entanglements surrounding the estate of Clarence F Glever, the murdered Waltham laun dry-man. and the property of his wife Mrs. Lillian M. Glover, came to the attention of the courts again today, when Mrs. Glover applied to Judge Pierce of the superior court for an >r. function to restrain her brother.

THEFT OF $173,000 Charged Against Former Sub-Treasury Teller. Arrested Alter 3 Years Watch ing by Secret Service Men. New York Merchant Charged With Stealing from a Bank. Chicago, Sept. 14.—George W. Fitz gerald. a former asserting teller in the Chicago federal sub-treasury, was arrested today by deputy United States marshals, charged with the theft of $173,000, which mysteriously disappeared from the Chicago sub treasury on Feb. 19, 1907. Fitzgerald was arrested on a bench warrant, based on an indictment re turned secretly by a federal grand jury on Feb. 17, 1910. The fact of the indictment was suppressed until to day. Three days after the indictment was secretly returned it was an nounced that the statute of limitations operated to stop possible criminal ac tion in the case. Coincident with this ruse Secret Ser vice men were detailed to watch Fitz gerald constantly and to make a rigid investigation of the former teller’s financial interests and affairs. The dis coveries made by these detectives re sulted in tlie order for Fitzgerald’s arrest. He was formally arraigned and his hail was fixed at $50,000. Being un able to give bond in this sum he was taken to jail. Attaches of the district attorney's office declare that since the disap pearance of the $173,000 from the sub treasury Fitzgerald has done the fol lowing things: Organized the Illinois Car Manufac turing Co., with a $50,000 plant at Hammond, Ind. Organized the Illinois Bolt, Nut Forging Co., with a large plant in Chica go. Dealt extensively in stocks and bonds. Moved from a moderate flat to a $10,000 residence, which he paid for and fur nished expensively. Lived in costly style and entertained friends lavishly. From the time of the returning of the suppressed indictment on Feb. 17, Fitz gerald was never out of sight of Secret Service men when awake, and while he slept operatives were on guard at his home or hotel. Meanwhile all his finan cial transactions were checked up closely and certain investments traced to him. The sub-treasury loss occurred on Feb. 10, 1907. The money was all in $1000 and $10,000 bills. Federal officers throughout the country were brought into the hunt for the missing money. For three years all persons found to have $1000 and $10,000 bills were subjected to scrutiny by Secret Service agents. SAYS IT WAS EASY. New York Merchant Got Whatever He Wanted from This Bank. New York, Sept. 14.—Adolph Rothbarth if the firm of Martin Rothbarth Co., hop dealers, with offices in London, Frankfort and St. Petersburg, pleaded guilty today to the larceny of $10,000 from the Mercantile National Bank and was held for trial in an equal amount of ball He had been under -surveillance IS hours and his arrest came after a long conference between the district attor ney's office and a number of bankers with whom he had dealings. "Your honor.” said the assistant dis trict attorney in charge of the case, “al though the specific sum named in this complaint is only $10,000, the actual amount this bank alone has lost will come to more than $100,000, but I ask only this small ball because the prison er has admitted that he did wrong and promises to agord the prosecution every aid in his power.” The money went in speculation, accord ing to Rothbarth's own admission, “f was squeezed in the panic of 1907," he said, “and began to get loans from the banks. It was so easy that 1 kept on." It is said that by juggling loans among four local banks Rothbarth was able to keep as much as $300,000 in the air at once. He could not give the bail demand ed and had to spend the night in the Tombs. THE LAST WARNING. Neak National Banks Must Strengthen Or Quit Business. Washington, Sept. 14.—During the icxt few weeks the few national banks in the United States which are rated as "Weak.” will have their last chance to strengthen themselves or go out of the business. The 105 examiners, through whom tiie government feels the pulse of na tional banks, lias been instructed to carry that ultimatum to every board of directors which needs it. The state ment of the condition of every nation al bank ir, the country at the close of business on Sept. 1. now being com piled, w ill be the last chance for any national bank to show its capital impaired, any reduction of its re serve under the limit, any bad papers in its vault, or any concealed liabil ities. AN ACT OF WAR. Gen. Keifer Says We Have No Right to Fortify Panama Canal. Springfield, Ohio. Sept. 14.—Declaring that to .fortify the Panama canal would constitute an act of war, Gen. 1 Warren Keifer, representative from Mie 7th Ohio District, in a lengthy statement issued here tonight reviews the treaty obligations of the United states with reference to the canal. His statement takes its text from sugges tions made by William Randolph Hearst in a statement Issued Sunday. “The fact is," says Gen. Keifer. the Hay-Pauncefote treaty of Nov. 18, 1901, clearly prohibit the United States from ever fortifying the Panama canal. For the United States now to fortify the Panama canal would be a violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and would of itself constitute an act not only of bad faith hut an act of war.” ‘Today*to~Get Well The quickest, surest sod safest way to relieve Indigestion and con.tlp.tlon and to really enjoy life 1. to take an occasional doe* Of the true “L.

Many Callars at Bavarly-Nagotla* tions for Canadian Reciprocity. Beverly, Mass., Sept. 14.—rPresident Taft's policy regarding rivers and har ■bors will be outlined Tuesday in the only speech lie will make during ills trip to Ohio. The President will de liver his speech at the opening of a dam, which has been constructed near Cincinnati in connection w,ith a pro ject for improving the Ohio river. During his four-days stay in Ci.i cini ati the President will see a num ber of the Ohio Republican party leaders and he will also visit the Cin ciliati Exposition, but will make no speeches except the one of the open ing of the Ohio river dam. The President's visit to Cincinnati will be primarily for tire purpose of looking after some purely personal matters and he wishes to be allowed the rest and privacy of a private citi zen. The President’s callers today in cluded Senator Foster of Louisiana, who came to present the claims of Nev: Orleans to the Panama Exposition of 1315: Hon. H. McKenzie, minister of lands of Victoria, Australia, who is investigating irrigation and reclama tion work in the United States; Pres ident Thirkiold of Howard University, Washington; Dr. Knox of the Ameri can Association lor the Prevention of Infant Mortality, and C. A. Sear! of Boston. Mr. Searl discussed various phases of the commerce court and of fered suggestions regarding the oper ation of this body. The sudden death last week of So licitor General Dloyd W. Bowers has made an important vacancy for Pres ident Taft to fill. Several names have been presented to the President for his consideration. Among the most prominently mentioned is Frank B. Kellogg of St. Paul. Mr. Kellogg was employed as special attorney in the prosecution of the Standard Oil cases and, it is understood, is thor oughly familiar with the work of the solicitor general’s office. Negotiations for a reciprocity treaty between the United States and Canada will be opened next month. It was learned in Beverly today that the British ambassador, Mr. Bryce, lias assented to the negotiations being carried directly between Canada and the United States without the formal ity ot being conducted through the British embassy. The details of file negotiations have not been arranged as yet. but it is the hope of President Taft that be fore the end of October the repre sentatives of both countries will be able to come together. Whether the United States will send delegates to Canada or Canada its representatives to Washington is not yet known Neither is it known whether and agree ment that may be reached will be made effective by concurrent legisla tion or by treaty. The reciprocity idea will meet with considerable omiosition in both coun tries, but it is relieved that tiro Cana dian opposition is more pronounced than that in the Unfted States chiefly because of the growth of Canadian manufacturing enterprises. The Ca nadian premier, Sir Wilfrid Uaurier, has declared In favor of the proposed agreement and it is felt lierp that the negotiations will be carried through to a satisfactory conclusion. The President, it is know'n, is deep ly interested in the matter and con siders it of the greatest importance. WILL BAR WOMEN. They Cannot Take Part in G. A. R. Parade at Atlantic City.

The fight was over endorsement of the Payne tariff law and the mention in the platform of Ex-President Roose vel t. Gov. H. S. Hadley, who is known as a “Progressive”, insisted that thu former President be mentioned as the man who established the policy of conservation. In return for this, the names of Rep.
