I INTERESTING PLACES IN ENGLANTMRELAND AND SCOTLAND VISITED BY DR. S. R. LYONS Aad Graphically Told Yesterday at the United Presbyterian Church. After two months absence, Dr. S. R. Lyons of the United Presbyterian church occupied his pulpit yesterday. His congregation was pleased to see him in his accustomed place. The pastor's countenance beamed with gladness as he looked into the faces of those whose welcome was visible in every feature. He did not come with a regular sermon but just a little talk about his trip abroad and the impressions received from it. During his absence lie visited Ireland, England and Scotland. The speaker mentioned Dean Stanley's visit to this country and said that when Stanley was asked what impressed hiin most in America, he replied, "My own ignorance." Dr. Lyons felt too that he hadonly - meager idea of the greatness of these countries before his visit during the last two months. He wanted to give his congregation his impressions but paid: "How can I do it without speaking of myself !" He visited the home of his forefathers in the north of Ireland and saw the house where -his ' grandfather lived more than a hundred years ago. He stood in Westminster Abbey among the graves and Monuments of England's greatest eeaa. xie waiscu auuui v., of the oldest ; universities in the -world, he was at Edinburgh too, and in and about the homes of Shakespeare and Gladstone. ,Khe minister said he was profoundly impressed with the greatness of England. The Bible had .made England great, evidence of this was on eTery hand. First, there was a reverence for everything sacred. People on entering the churches bowed their heads a moment and did the same thing after the benediction was pronounced. Another thing that left a deep impression on the mind of the speaker was the respect for law. The motion of a policeman's hand was enough to settle a disturbance or prevent a riot reverence for things sared and respect for law made England great. Dr. Lyons read the 103 psalm and said that two weeks before, he preached on the ship about midway of the ocean and used the same scripture lesson. He referred to the great church council which he attended and was impressed with the men who composed it. He said they handled truth reverently and had the utmost faith in the union of the churches and in the coming of the time when men would be united in soul a time when there would be no more sea. He closed with a comparison between Diana of the Epheeians and the apostle Paul. The silent statue of Diana was found in the museums, while the voice of Paul came ringing down the ages. The greatness of one has passed away, the greatness of the other endures. ITwo Cars Ran Into Ditch and the Big Steam Car Turned Somersault.

and ran into a fifteen-foot ditch at the side of the road, four miles ,west of Laporte. The machine turned completely over, throwing Kent out and burying Studevant underneath. Kent had his left wrist broken and was badly bruised. Studevant 's legs and back were injured, but not seriously. They were running thirty miles an hour down grade. A white ten-horse power steam car, occupied by three persons, became unmanageable near the same place, ran into a ditch and turned a complete somersault. The occupants saved themselves by jumping. The Old Nut Camping Club returned Saturday after spending a most delightful week at Nolan's Fork. The parties were: Sam Mann, Geo. Runnell, John Kemp, Harry Robison, Arthur King, Frank Poster, Frank Thayer, Gus Kennepohl, Frank Lawler and Will Linton. Several fine catches were made.

SAYS QUAKERS ABE "F PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND WILL VOTE FOR PARKER 30,000 QUAKER VOTES In Indiana Will be Cast for the Demo cracy Says Tom Taggart in New York. Tom Taggart, national chairman of the .Democratic Committee is in New York and of course has expressed himself on the political outlook in Indi ana, in an interview Air. Taggart said: ' " Every thing indicates a steady swing toward Judge Parker. In my own state the condition of the Democratic organization was never so good. Gold Democrats, silver Democrats and all sorts of Democrats are united for the ticket and I am certain Indiana will elect the Democratic electors in November. "In additio nto the fine condition of the party we have nominated the strongest ticket we have ever had and there isn't a bit of dissatisfaction anywhere. On the other hand, there are various discordant elements in the Repubican ranks, and President Roose velt is unpopular among several classes of voters. Take, for instance, the Quakers in the state polling a vote of at least 30,000. They are opposed to Mr. Roosevelt to a man almost because of something he put forth in his earlier days about the Quakers not making good soldiers." The statement that the Quakers to a man are opposed to Mr. Roosevelt is certainly very far from the facts. This is the story that was sprung when Mr. Roosevelt was a candidate for the vice presidenccy and it was exploded at that time and the fallacy of the charge shown up. But, of course, it will be necessary to deny all the charges in this campaign the same as was done in the last. The Palladium is not in position to speak for the Quakers over the state, but if . the state is to be judged by the local Friends they will be almost a unit for Roosevelt. Tom Taggart may talk about Democratic Quakers down in New York, but it don't sound well in Indiana where Republican Quakers live. ; , In Old Smyrna Cemetery to Be Discussed. At ther?! family remonvor$ ugwd3;4 jtheanatter ? of neglected graves in olcT Smyrna cemetery will be taken up for consideration. In this oil cemetery many persons prominent in the years gone by are buried and their graves are neglected, some not having even a slab to tell who is buried there. It mighty possibly be a matter for the Wayne County Histor7 leal Society to' look after; 5 1 '

DEMOCRATS

ORGANIZE A NEW POLITICAL PARTY TO BE CALLED THE CONTINENTAL PARTY Call For National Convention to B Held in Chicago August 31, 1904. Chicago, Aug. 8. Immediately after the adjournment of the Nations! Democratic Convention at St. Louis July 10, the initial steps were tuk-a by numerous Democrats of the Jeffersoniau faith to organize a new political party pledged to the advocacy doctrines more in accord with tho-p of former declarations than is (Ue platform adopted at St. Louis. Advertisements were inserted ' daily papers and messengers were dispatched to adjoining states to ascertain the sentiments of those who were dissatisfied and indignant over th nomination of Judge Parker. Of those consulted nearly all ftvored the movement and promised their active support. As a result, a temporary organization was effected, a call for a national convention was issued, and other stejs taken to p erfect the organization. The following call was made: To the Independent and Patriotic Voters of all Political Parties Greeting: The undersigned and their associates have completed a preliminary organization, incorporated under tlv laws of Illinois, and designated "The Continental Party of the United States of America. ' . . The objects of the association are then set forth at length, the opening paragraph of which reads: . "To enlist the co-operation of legal voters throughout the United Sta4e in earnest and honorable efforts to repeal unjust laws in every branch o government and in their stead to secure the enactment and enforcemeut of other laws better adapted to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare, and secure the election or appointment t office of, honest and capable men." The closing paragraph and signatures-of the national committee follow: We appeal to all who believe in majority rule, to all who are weary of Standard Oil government, to all wk are opposed to gavel-government ia party politics, to all Democrats especially who with us fear that a candidate for president who assumes the dictatorship of his party could h easily persuaded -in an emergency to become dictator of a people we. appeal to these and to all others who desire the welfare and prosperity of all the people to meet us personally or by representation in national convention at Chicago, August 31, 1904.
