V* r-' v* CHARLES 8. DENEEN. ADLA1 E. STEVENSON. DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN NOMINEES FOR GOVERNOR OP ILLINOIS. J GOVERNOR NOEL DISCUSSES THE UNWRITTEN LAW Daily News Special. Jackson, Miss., August 22.—When asked his opinion of the circumstances under which the "unwritten law" Is a justification for shooting a man, ap propos of the case of Capt. Halos, who killed William E. Annis. the betrayer of his wife, and then Induced Mrs. Hains to accuse her husband of being a degenerate, Governor E. F. Noel said: "Self preservation is the first law of nature, and includes self, home and Its purity. The preservation of the sanctity of home Is more important than that of life. What circumstances, If any, would justify a man In slaying the despoiler of his home, is a moral question which everyone must settle for himself. Life should not be taken without giving opportunity of explan ation. "If I clearly believed a man was convicted of killing one who had vio lated the sanctity of his home, I would pardon him, though I believe it would be as much the duty of the jury to con vict as It would be of the Go to pardon. "He who invokes the unwritten law should abide Its consequences and not seek shelter behind a plea of insanity. Of the Hains case, I have no special knowledge and make no suggestion." vernor BOWERS' MAJORITY IS NEARLY 5,000 Dally News Special. Gulfport, Miss., Practically complete returns from all of the counties com .posing the Sixth Congressional District give Bowers 6,844 against 1,992 for Barber, or a majority of 4,852 for the former. Mr. Bowers carried every county in .the district by a decisive majority.. The Democratic Executive Commit tee will meet August 28 to canvass the returns, hut little change will be made from the above figures. One of the most surprising featnres of the race is the fact that Mr. Bowers carried Biloxi, the home of Mr. Barber, by a vote of 364 to 75. He carried Her rison, Barber's home county, 1,216 to 164.

Almost every weekly ta per In the state published In the cot ton counties reports this week the re ceipt of the first bale, although a few towns had their first bales laBt week. While not enough cotton has been marketed in any part of the state to have any visible effect upon, trade con ditions, it is now a matter of only a few days until this effect Will be vis ible, although It Is not expected that any great amount of cotton money will be In general circulation for per haps a month. Most of the farmers are in. debt to the merchants, and sell their cotton to these same merchants, who general ly insist upon applying the proceeds, or a generous proportion of it, to these debts. The result is that most of the first cotton money goes to the cred itors of the merchant, generally In the northern cities, and the trade benefits are accordingly delayed in the home community.

Vo JASPER COUNTY PAPER OPPOSES THE INSTITUTES Daily News Special. Jackson. Miss., August 22.—One newspaper in the state has been found to openly oppose the establishing of an agricultural high school and the levying of a special tax therefor. The Jasoer County Review, pub lished at Montrose, argues that the plan means the faxing of the many for the benefit of the few, and that only those who live near by will send their children to such a school. The argument is made that every farmer who is able to pay the board of his children would be also able to pay the small tuition, so that there Is no need for such a free Institution. It does not, apparently take into consid eration tlve obvious fact that if no school is established he. would not have the opportunity to pay either, no matter how able he might be. The press of the state, as well as every leading educator, have quite gen erally embraced thla agricultural high school Idea as being just the thing nqeded, not only for those boys living in each county who are unable to at tend the Starkvllle Agricultural and Mechanical College, but also for the beginner, who can thereby get a good start in his studies before going to Starkvllle—a sort of stepping stone to the college in other words. Notwithstanding the opposition of the Review, it is understood the school board and county board of supervis ors have practically determined to es tablish the school, although there Is some talk of submitting the question to the people to be voted upon.

FIRST CHURCH ORGAN USED IN 1801; ANNIVERSARY OBSERVED TOMORROW in a Hearst News Service. Glasgow, August 22.—Tomorrow will be a notable anniversary among the Presbyterians, since It was on August 22, 1810, which also fell on Sunday, that for the first time in the history of any Presbyterian Church an organ was used in public worship. Episcopal churches had introduced instrumen tal music long before, but the Scotch Presbyterians had held out against what they considered an invention of the evil one. An Innovation so daring bad not long to wait for a stirring sequel The town was at once In a ferment, but it was not the church courts which took action; it was an alert municipality. The. lord provost InJ stantly brought the matter before the Town Council, and the city fa thers, in their capacity as heritors, in wrath, and with no un rose up t certain voice, called upon the ecclesi astical judicature to exercise its au thority, and, for the sake of peace of the community, put an end to the evil things. The church which ventured on this bold step was St. Andrew's Parish Church. This stateliest of all the city fanes stood then, as it stands still, in the middle of its own square. A century ago It was also In the center of fashion and culture, and its con gregation was largely drawn from the professional classes and the wealthy tobacco lords and merchants, whoso elegant abodes surrounded it. The minister of the time was Dr. William Ritchie, a man of wide travel and scholarly accomplishments, and of such high reputation in the church that he had already sat in the moderator's seat of the General Assembly. While he was undoubted ly the willing leader In the venture some and premature step of Introduc ing instrumental music without leave asked of any civil or ecclesiastical court, he was not the prime mover in the matter. He averred before the Presbytery that for more than thirty years a wish had been cher ished by St. Andrew's Church to have an organ erected and employed in public worship, and it was only after repeated proposals had been made to him by the leaders of the congre gation that he gave hia cgnsent With the full approbation of his mind. At the same time nothing but his un^ue ministerial and social influence can explain the fact that, at a time when public opinion was quite unprepared to sanction so pronounced a depar ture from ancient usage, there was entire unanimity among the people; for never through all the protracted and bitter public controversy which ensued was there the slightest dif ference of opinion Indicated among the members of this advanced con gregation. The exceptional attitude of St. An drew's Parish Church to the question of the use of organs was doubtless some extent determined by its intil _ je relations with its near Episcopal neighbor. St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, the oldest church of the de nomination in the city, had for over fifty years employed an organ in its services, and on that account was locally known as Kirk." As specially became churches dedicated to the same patron saint, the two congregations were on the —'■""tevs mat the "Whistlin' When You Can Get High grade and abso lutely Pure b ood pro ducts here for as little money as you have been paying for the other kind, don't you think it would be economy to buy here?

"I told Uncle Henry this would be the inevitable result or sending you to a western co-ed college. The social system here is quite good enough for me."

"He might eat with his knife"— "Not after he had been told It was wrong," said Nan, with conviction. "Suppose he were wearing corduroy for shooting instead of digging exca vations. Suppose he wero wearing shirt sleeves on a tennis court or the links instead of in your employ. He would be a gentleman, one of your equals. He would look not a whit different from what he does today, but we would accept him socially where today we regard him as our inferior." Bob cast amused glances at a cor ner in the porch roof where two birds were busily building a nest among the vines. "And this is the modern wo man—the effect of the higher educa tion," he murmured. It might have been the birds, cooing and contended, or It might have Just been the love of mischief which some men never outgrow even when, like Robert Darnton, they can count iron gray hairs by the score above each temple. At any rate, he sat up very suddenly and determinedly and regard ed his Sister quite seriously. "Have you the courage of your pon victlous? Are you willing to put your theory to the test? Will you let me Invite my foreman here as an equal, provided, of course, that I secure the stipulated Fifth aveuue tnllfirlng, the 'man' and the motof?" "Good gracious.

I will agree that he Is properly coached for his part (it would not be fair to turn him loose on our unsuspecting guests without some training), and then I will wager you a diamond sunburst against a crocheted tie that you ask me to put him out of the house before the week is up." Nan's glance traveled once more across the expanse of green lawn. The lithe figure of the Italian was just disappearing behind a clump of shrubbery. Well, in appearance, at least, he could do the house of Dam ton no discredit. Anyhow, why should a girl who was planning settlement work for the full shrink at the thought of having one "case" in her home for a few days? She would have to live among them—In the fall! "Well?"

Probably a year,—perhaps more,— not likely less,—elapsed after Saul's first attempt to kill David, and the les son we study this week, as connecting events, the following are briefly noted; Saul made a proposition to David to marry Merab, his oldest daughter. David's reply Indicated that he consid ered such a dowry as Saul might rea sonably expect, entirely beyond the family resources. No matter what, If any, agreement was entered Into, at the appointed time Merab was married but another than David was the bride groom. In the megtlme lore, though a small factor in most Oriental mar raiges, was directing events along an other channel. "Michal, Saul\ daugh ter, loved David." The, knowledge of this fact was well pleasing to Saul, and he again suggested a marriage, using the curious locution, "Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law a second time." (Rev. Ver.) Through the prop er official, a formal proposal of mar riage waa made to David. The matter of a dowry again loomed up In the practical mind of David, and he so expressed himself. A second message informed him that no dowry was desir ed, except the proof of tho death, at the hands of David, of bne hundred Phllistln.es. Saul hoped by this means to encompass the death of the young man. Before the expiration of the specified time, David presented the proof that two hundred of the com mon enemy had been slain. The mar riage duly came off and "Saul's daugh ter loved him." It is a pity that a domestic career, beginning so happily should have so gloomy and hopeless and ending. After his marriage, David's succes ses augmented Saul's fear of him, and Increased his hatred; but in spite of this the young officer steadily grew in the popular esteem. Saul now formal ly proposes to his son and his officers, that David be slaip. Jonathan Inform ed David of the proposal, and it was agreed that David should hide himself, while his* friend should Intercede for him. The Intercession was successful, and a reconciliation was effected. It did not last long, however, for upon David's return from another victory over the Philistine army, Saul's jeal WILL BE SPECTACULAR AFFAIR Hearst News Service.

The exercises which attract most attention are naturally the Imperial maneuvers In Alsace-Lorraine, ps this will be the first time since the war of 1870 that maneuvers on such an ex tensive scale will have taken place so near the frontier. i The Fifteenth and Sixteenth Army a It ousy was again aroused, and as David played before him, he essayed to pin him to the wall with his spear. David fled to his own house, and, aided by his young wife, eluded the officers sent to arrest him. He went to Sam uel at Ramah, and together they re paired to Najoth where there was a school of thep rophets. Three times Saul sent messengers to take David, but as each band of officers came to the school, the spirit of God came upon every man and he prophesied. Then Saul came In person, and he, too, fell under the spell, and prophesied—lying naked before Samuel all day and all night. There is no record that Sam uel spoke to him, and he never saw his face again. This'brings us to the lesson; While Saul was prophesying at Na JoSh, David returned to Gibeah, and communed with Jonathan. They dls cuBsed the whole matter. Jonathan was hopeful that another reconciliation could be effected, but David thought not, and the sequel proved that David's estimate of Saul's character was more accurate than that of his own som One cannot but sympathize with Jona than aB he stands forth, the confiden tial adviser of his father, and also of the man his father desired to kill. To his everlasting credit be It said that he was frankly loyal to both. The two friends agreed upon a plan by which David might be Informed of Saul's intentions toward him, without exposing himself to any further at tempts upon his life. The plan agreed upon involved a deliberate falsehood, which does not harmonize with our Ideas of right. It Is certain, however, that neither of these upright young men felt any scruples In arranging or carrying out the plan Oother similar Instances might be cited. Moses would deceive Pharaoh Into letting the Israel ites go into the wilderness to worship. Samuel was directed to assign anoth er than true reason for going to Beth lehem, when he annointed David, apd David has been severely Criticised (fcr deceiving the priest at Nob, especially as it resulted |n the death of the priest and all his family.

The cost Is but one cent a word. e censure. And we must remember the* these people all lived under a differ ent. dispensation from ours—that the Prophet of Sazareth had not promulga ted a higher code of morals for his people. Again, there was war between David and Saul, and in our day, Chris tians justify deception in the execu tion of military movements. David and Jonathan renewed the cov enant, and as Jonathan covenanted with the "House of David," he must have realized to some extent, at least, that David was to become the head of the nation. When the test was applied to Saul, David's worst fears were confirmed, and Jonathan's life endangered; for Saul attempted to slay even him, for speaking In his friend's behalf. Stun ned with grief,—Insulted,—outraged, l in evry fibre of his noble young hood, he went out from his father's presence, and In due' time, by the use of the pre-arranged signals, Informed David of the result of the test. And then at great personal risk to both, they had one more interview. They parted In tears, but with the sweet consciousness that Jehovah stood be tween them and their descendants for ever. David went away, a fugitive and an outlaw, guilty of^io crime, and with never a thought of disloyalty in his heart. It Is doubtful if he saw his young wife at all during this visit. Years elapBed before he saw her again, and then it was after she had long been the wife of another man. Once again In their lives, in the wood at Zlph, the two friends met and again renewed their vows of fi delity. "Jonathan strengthened his hand In God," and assured him that hlB father would never be able to do him harm. He confidently predicted David's accession to the throne, and that he himself, would be second In the kingdom. "And they made a cov enant before Jehovah." It was not given to Jonathan to for see that awful day at Gllboa, when his father, his brothers and himself all perished on the field of'battle. man NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'E SALE.

Mc Cullough. Venxeuela and the Netherlands. As was foreseen in these solumns, the United States has agreed to let Castro and the Dutch trouble by means of the big stick, so long as the latter will hold to their promise not to violate the Monroe doc trine, that is, to seize and hold Vene zuelan territory. If, as seems prob able, the Dutch inflict a severe lesson npon the arrogant dictator, It will have a most salutary effect upon other South American republics. The main offense of the American Interests in Venezuela was that they favored the opposition candidate for the presidency; that of the Dutch min ister de Reus, was that he called E Castro a dictator. There are always two sides to a question. In some of h our sister republics, wholly unripe as they have proved themselves for self government, a temporary dictator may he the proper man to effect a transi tion from lawlessness to law and or der. It depends upon the man. The perennial president of Mexico, Porfiro Diaz, was doubtless a dictator during his first terms of office, yet he raised t his country from seething anarchy to obedience to the law and the prosper I ity which it always brings. But the majority of these presidents use their office to father their own hank account, and Castro is a type of the lot. His opponent is to him a revolutionist and must be put out of the way, that he may perpetuate his In come. Worse than the notorious Chi nese Mandarin, his open palm is al ways Itching, and when people grow tired of constant lubricating, he does not scruple to violate pledges and t agreements, so that investments un |f\ der such a man's rule are never safe. S' To a man of this type, criticism is never palatable and If it contains noth S ing but the truth, it Is most distaste ■LftMT No dictator desires it to be known ^HLthat he has assumed rights and privi BWleges beyond those pertaining to his §6; office, hence the action of Mr. de Reus if In publicly proclaiming what all the i 'World knew was to Castro a gross in settle their To the diplomatic world Castro knd is a bugbear. It is most difficult iqr maintain respect for the office when llle man occupying it renders it con was t by one the foreign representative*. withdrew on account of some wrong or Insult and. but for the Monroe docs trine, Castro would have been punished before this. It Is mcire than probable that this Immunity made him bolder than ever and more of a firebrand and international nuisance, because other presidents are watching his course and if successful, there will be a whole sale repudiation of debts and robbery of the public funds. Holland's last war was with Belgium, In 1830, since the occasional rebellions of chiefs in Its East India colonies are not entitled to the dignity of war. On that occasion she upheld her character and reputation. In a campaign of ten days, she captured the capital Brus sels, and It was only owing to the armed intervention of France and Eng land that she submitted to the separ ation with that country. At that time both army and navy acquitted them selves admirably; especially In the last named branch of the service acts of heroism were performed which re called the days of de Ruyter and Tromp. In the new church at Amsterdam Is a magnificent marble monument cov ering the remains of Lieut. J. C. J. Van Speyk, who left an orphan entered the navy and rose to be commander of a gunboat which during the war of 1830 was stationed on the Scheldt off Antwerp. A sudden and fierce gale made iher drag her anchors and cast her on the Belgian shore where she was helpless. As the Belgians were swarming on her deck, Van Speyk went below under pretense of going for his papers, and deliberately blew up his ship. With such precedents before them, the officers and men of the Dutch navy have every incentive to do their duty, and if they can catch Castro and rid South America of the firebrand, it will be a salutary lesson to others of his ilk. Success to the Dutch! A Crying Need. .The arrest of four white hoys in Hattiesburg yesterday on the grave charge of burglary again emphasizes the need of a reformatory for youth ful criminals in Mississippi. An effort was made at the last ses sion of the state legislature to secure an appropriation for this purpose, but the bill failed to pass from some cause or other, despite the fact that the best newspapers and most representative citizens of the state have time and again urged the Importance of an insti tution of this character. Every town and city in the state has at one time or another been confronted with the question of disposing of youthful criminals, who are not infre quently boys of good parentage who have drifted into bad company and vio lated the laws of the state. To con fine them in the Jails with hardened criminals or to send them to the county or state farms as the law di rects is wrong, for the reason that it lessens their moral restraint and steeps their minds in degradation and prompts them to emulate the criminal careers of their elders. To turn them loose on the commu nity without punishment or restraint Is equally wrong Inasmuch as it dangers society and imperils the fu ture of the subject. Most other states have long since realized the need of reformatories and provided adequately for their erring youth, but Mississippi—which has led in numerous noteworthy reforms—has neglected the duty. The press of the state should double its efforts to secure an priation for a reformatory at the next legislative session, and the law-abid ing citizens of the state should Join in the demand. en re appro An Important Industry. The addition of a car repairing de partment to the Watkins Machine and Foundry Company is another import ant step in the industrial progress of Hattiesburg. While the Mississippi Central Rail road already maintains extensive building and car-repairing shops here, and while the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad has a fairly well equipped repair department, there is ample room for otherz, as the railroad busi ness in this Immediate section of car m South Mississippi promises tp grow j enormously during the aeit severali years, It Is said that the Illinois Central, with shops at New Orleans, McComb City and Water Valley, Is constantly compelled to send its cars north tor repairs. The New Orleans and Northeastern, the Mobile and Ohio and other southern roads are not in frequently confronted with the same conditions when traffic is heavy and the wear and tear on rolling stock ex ceeds the capacity of their own shops. This new Hattiesburg Industry will not confine Itself to the work of any one road, but will enter Into active competition with the independent shops of the north Jja bidding for the buBihess of various systems which have inadequate facilities of their own. While the first extensive order re celved for the new department of the WatklnB Machine and Foundry Com pany is from the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad, other lines have already made Inquiries and the indications are that the business will gruw to enormoils proportions, and that it will ultimately give remuner ative employment to hundreds of men. Let Hattiesburg Co Forward. The lumber mills of the Hatties burg territory, primarily the basis of our prosperity, are preparing to re sume. Well Informed lumbermen say that they will nearly all be running within a month, and that within six weeks at the outside normal business condi tions will prevai) in this city. Bankers, merchants and business men generally are optimistic over the prospect for a revival of all lines of business in Hattiesburg, them even go so far as to predict that business will be better this fall and winter than during the flush times of last year, and there is no good reason for discounting the claim. Even during the dull times of the past ten months Hattiesburg has fared reasonably well. Building operations have been temporarily suspended, but there have been few failures and re turning prosperity finds the. commer cial and Industrial conditions surpris ingly sound. With the advent of a new impetus, such as that universally predicted for this section, Hattiesburg should go forward with renewed energy—firm in the faith that this is early destined to become the metropolis of Mississip pi and one of the largest manufactur Ing cities in the south. Some of Mr. Taft cites as an answer to Bryan's question, "Do the People Rule," the fact that the people elected McKinley and Roosevelt. But, say, Bill! Didn't Mark Hanna and the con tributions from the big life insurance companies have something to do with it. The Hattiesburg News distanced every daily paper In the state in the promptness and accuracy with which it handled the congressional primary returns yesterday. News can always depend on getting the news while the bloom is on it. Readers of the The Atlanta Georgian makes startling statement that "Mr. Kern's whiskers grow on the public." Then this sanctum is PRIVATE with a big P and a hyphen between each letter. the Local advertising in this newspaper has increased 50 per cent, in sixty days. Its subscription list has been increasing at the same ratio. And the reason for the former Is the latter. Memphis had a prize fight the other night right in the shadow of the city hall. The Memphis policemen should get the Gulfport habit and wear alarm clocks in their'bats. "Can Mr. Taft bend forward until his fingers touch the floor without bending his knees?" asks the Atlanta Georgian. Can a marble statue play mumblepeg? A St. Augustine man traveled all the way to New Yprk in a row boat made of newspaper I. the newspapers usually come out top anyway. The man who trusts on The Memphis Commercial Appeal II says that the ghost of Lincoln haunts the streets ot Springfield. Maybe he is looking for the negro in the woodpile. "There Is a tide In the affairs if men," etc., Is a fitting admonition to Hattiesburguns. The floodgates of for tune are again open. The election of Adlai Stevenson as Governor would go a long way toward redeeming Illinois In the eyes of the world. Every fool believes that he is wise, and every wise man doubts his conclu sions. Why not organize in Hattiesburg and help the cause of Bryan and Kern? The best way to get along In the world Is to behave. Crawl into the prosperity band wagon. The truest friendship Is the most unselfish. It is saving time to spend It well. Mr. Kern will know next. NEW8 FORECA8T FOR THE COMING WEEK.

Strictly practicing what he preaches, Mr. Bryan would not win victory with tainted money paying the election expenses. Not a dollar is to be accepted which requires any promise, either ex IMPARTIAL GOVERN pressed or implied, other than for HONEST, MENT. Mr. Bryan will enter the White House absolutely free from entangling alliances, free to serve all classes of honest citizens alike, or he will not enter at all. Hence the course is plain. The campaign of Bryan and Kern must-be conducted by the people. The people must pay the necessary campaign expenses if they want public servants who will serve their interests. Special interests and favored classes, having secured "SWOLLEN FORTUNES" by purchasing favors in the past with MILLIONS CON TRIBUTED TO CONTROL ELECTIONS, LIONS MORE FOR CONTINUED FAVORS. But that class never gives a dollar unless It buys a pledge. Mr. Bryan says, from March 4, 1909, "LET THE PEOPLE RULE." This can come only if the people pay their own bills, and control their own elections. "BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS 'BEARING GIFTS.' That policy of the favored few buying a mortgage on the government meant that the candidate for president knew a few people only in an tire state. Bryan says, "We will take the cause of PEOPLE'S RULE home to the people, and will know people in every county." You can serve the grand cause of popular government.

I is tW only Russian who dares to tell the truth. More powerful even .than the czar, and with the public opinion Hearst News Service. St. Petersburg, August 22.—Through out Russia preparations are going for ward for great demonstrations on the occasion of the 80th birthday of Count Leo Tolstoi, the great "torch bearer," which falls on next Friday. The Union of True Russian People, composed principally of priests and re actionaries who are anxious to pre serve the despotic regime in the land of the czar, are threatening a counter demonstration. The authorities fear trouble may result from clashes be tween the admirers and enemies of Tolstoi. Tolstoi recently issued a condem natory screed, directed at the Russian government and church, in which he depicted in words that burned the terrible conditions now existing in this unhappy country-^anff which have transformed the,.etnpire intp one vast slaughter pen.'' This article, entitled "I Cannot' be Silent," demonstrated the troth of the assertion that Tolstoi NEWS, VIEWS, AND GOSSIP FRESH FROM BIG METROPOLIS By Glenn Guernsey. New York, August 22.—The late Rob ert G. Ingersoll once let fall a few remarks to the "fool friends" of re form movements, whose words and actions served to hinder the cause with which they had allied them selves, and who "are so friendly that you cannot kick them." I am convinced that the disciples of Marxian Socialism, and even the "opportunist" Socialists who are prin cipally concerned with political meth ods, entertain much the same tender feeling for the Christian Socialists. These exponents of kidgloved reform, who insist upon opening the social rev olution with prayer, will again occapy the limelight next week, when they will hold a general conference at As bury Park. The Rev. John D. Long, D. D., pastor of the fashionable Parksdale Presbyterian church of Brooklyn— all ministers who get into the news papers are pastors of fashionable churches—Is the leader in the Chris tian Socialist Fellowship movement. For some months he has been en gaged in organizing the Socialist ministers of the country and hun dreds of reverends and right rever ends are now said to be enrolled on the membership list of the fellow ship. Among the rank and file of the red flag followers of New York, however, the accession of the holy men 1 b not viewed with any noticeable degree of gratulation. Socialism, those unre generate ones insist, is an economic system and not a church. They fear that with the growth of the move ment, internal dissension will arise, and the party will be divided into warring sects of Baptist Socialists, Chronic Diarrhoea Relieved. Mr. Edward E. Henry, with the United States Express Co., Chicago, writes, "Our General Superintendest, Mr. Quick, handed me a bottle ot Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy some time ago to check an attack of the old chronic diarrhoea. I have used it since that time and cured many on our trains who have been sick. I am an old soldier who served with Rutherford B. Hayes and William McKinley four years in the 23rd Ohio Regiment, asd have no ail ment except chronic diarrhoea, which this remedy stops at once." For sale by Hays. Field and Yellow Pine Pharmacy.

The Orthodox church dlgltarles have Issued a warning against the participation of church members In the Tolstoi celebrations of the coming week. In all of the orthodox churches of Russia tomorrow the priests will read prayers beseeching the deity to turn Tolstoi "from his evil ways" and to bring about his return to the church. This action of the church Is the subject of much scoffing in all of the more Independent Journals Of the empire, most Of which are agnostic In tendency, since the church has ai rways taken sides with despotism. Count Tolstoi will spend his birth day quietly at his home in TJasnaya Polyana, where he will receive dele gations or the foremost literary men of Russia and Europe. The telegraph authorities are expecting a perfect flood of congratulatory messages from all over the world next Friday and have made preparations to handle them. Presbyterian Socialists, Mother Eddy Socialists and high and low church Socialists. And the scoffers Inquire, more or less pertinently, why there shouldn't be a Christian Republican party or a Christian Democ^tlc party? The horny-handed sons of toil insist that the ministers come out flat-foot ed for Karl Marx and Eugene Debs and drop their affection of select superiority, under the penalty of being deprived of their red tags. College Waiters. Those ambitious young men who work their way through college by the sweat of their brows are often the recipients of effusive commenda tions and sympathetic encourage ment. In these sentiments, however, J. Davis Secor does not share. Mr. Secor owns a summer hotel out on Long Island, and recently tried the experiment of employipg fifteen wor thy young college students as waiters. His opinion Of the ability of the youngsters in question rhay now be expressed in a row of Jim-dashes.' Mr. Secor asserts that his student waiters were assiduous in their at tentions to the young lady guest's, but that the men and the older ladles found it almost impossible to attract the attention of the scolarly grub stingers. Moreover, the dinner dishes were left unwashed while the col legians spent the evenings on the rus tic bridge in the dim distance, singing love songs to the fair listeners. For all of such grievances and for the additional reason that the colleges the young men attended hadn't taught them the difference between a golf stick and a soup ladle, Mr. Secor fired his collection of student waiters and made a solemn vow, "Never again." Humorists of the daily press fre quently take occasion to pass sar castic remarks upon the bargain hunting proclivities of tjie fair sex, incidentally implicating that men are superior as shrewd buyers. I hesi tate to blast so fond an illusion, yet the recitation- of a single instance, pointed (tut to me by the buyer of a big New York department store, will serve to prove that men are the orig inal easy marks when they go shop Pin|. "Are men more successful shop pers than women?" sniffed the buyer to whom I had addressed the ques tion. "Well, not so you could notice It. Here's an example," he said, pointing out in an advertisement of the store the following cryptic de scription of feminine government: j "Made of best quality muslin, wide umbrella ruffle, deep hem and three embroidered tucks, specially priced i at 29 cents." •The buyer continued: "We have in stock a similar garment for men, con taining no more nor no better ma terial, and costing not so much in the workmanship. Yet is sells regu larly for 76 cents, and is never pric ed below 59 cent!." Responding to my question as to the reason for this unjust disparity in prices, he said: "There isn't reaflon, ,except that the manufacturers of men's garments charge more and make bigger pro fits, because the men are easy marks and will stand for it. It women were it; a than a fourth of a minute. Ever; ig that is sold exclusively to men commands a high er price than it would it women were also itB purchasers. Men shrewd shoppers? Oh, fudge." All of which is illuminating. If not exactly calculated to add to mascu line conceit. A Just Judge. There Is at least one judge In New York, and he has rendered a-decision which must be hailed with delight throughout tjie country as establish ing a righteous precedent. Can a man he legally forced to pay for a cup of coffee which contains a pestiferous fly?' Answer: He can not. So says the law, as Interpreted by the just judge aforesaid. It was a highly Indignant restau rant proprietor who appeared In po lice court and accused a well-drea|ed young man of larceny In falling to produce a nickel for a cup of coffee the latter had qrdered. Questioned by the maglstrate.-the-'grals dispenser admitted that a fly had fallen into the cOffee after it had been served, but declared volubly that it wasn't his fault and that he was not sup posed to protect his customers from inquisitive InBects. Then the culpirt was heard lu de fense. He alleged that he would have entered no objection if only one modest, well-behaved fly had used his cuffee cup for a swimming pool. He asserted, however, thdtf no less than three had -taken, a dip into' the Burf at his expense and that he entered strenuous objection to maintaining a miniature Coney Island for the bene fit of the restaurant proprietor's in sects. The objection was maintained by the judge and the accused walked forth a free man. And tne learned and Just judge has earned the respect of all honest men, except restaurant proprietors.
