The Chapman family of Greensfork, with relatives from various other points, will "reune" at Glen Miller today. One unusual feature will be the orchestra which the Chapman's will bring with them. They will furnish the music for the occasion throughout the day.
Colored Knights to Picnic. The colored lodges of the Knights of Pythias of Indiana and Ohio will picnic at the Athletic park Thursday August 23. Base ball games and all sorts of athletic contests will be featured. It is expected that several hundred Knights and their families will attend. Trade Treaty With Germany. Berlin, July 28. Chancellor Von Buelow, it is learned, will not take up the subject of a fresh trade agreement with the United States until after the congressional elections. A certain propriety Is felt in seeking to open negotiations touching a question indirectly connected with the issues of the campaign until it is over. There is also a feeling at the foreign office that the results of the elections may influence the sentiment of the country on lower tariffs, possibly making it easier for the administration to reach a decision as to how far to ask congress to meet Germany's hopes. BY LOCUSTS A Section of Austria is Devastated. Crop Ruined. Vienna, July 28. Locusts are devastating the neighborhood of Debreczln, where crops on sixty thousand acres already have been consumed. Desperate means have been adopted to keep back the invasion, but without avail. Fires lighted to check trie progress of the Insect have been extinguished by the onmoving mass, after which the survivors of the army of devastation continued the march. Twelve steam rollers have been used at one place to crush the locusts, but they have made no apparent Impres sion. Locusts cover the earth in many places t the depth of several inches, defying annihilation. Many farmers are threatened with ruin. Provinces Cut Off. Bt. Petersburg, July 28. The switch board of the Central telegraph station'' in St. Petersburg was burned out, de stroying all communication with the provinces. While there is a suspicion that the "accident" was arranged by revolutionists, no evidence to support It can be found, and the telegraph de partment authorities are' apparently satisfied with the explanation of the employes. However, the public Is cut off from telegraphic communication with the interior for some time, but the government retains the possibility of communication with the pro vincial authorities over the railroad wires. Ancient Coin Found. Venice, July 28. An important dis covery has been made here, while de taching mosaics from inside the basilica of St. Mark's to carry out the work of restoring the whole cathedral, which was shaken through the sink ing of its foundations. Buried in cement was a very rare coin of the tjme of the Doge Enrico Dandolo, who died in 1205, thus, proving that the building of the Basilica was going on in the twelfth century. It is supposed that the coin fell from the clothing of a workman into the cement, remaining there seven centuries. Shaw Suggests Cannon. Chicago, July 28. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, who has been frequently mentioned as a probable candidate for the Republican presidential nomination of 1908, said in an interview here Friday that he believed Speaker Cannon would prove the best man to lead 'the party to victory. It Is Inferred from this statement by the leading politicians here that Mr. Shaw is entirely out of the race. Mr. Shaw, In an interview, expressed strong opposition to nominations by primaries. Car Goes Through Trestt Dayton, O., July 28. James Rothwell and John Moritz were perhaps fatally injured while at work con structing a double track for the Cincinnati Northern Railway company south of Dayton. The men were on a gravel car crossing a false trestle when the structure gave way. The car crash ed through the trestle and the men narrowly escaped being crushed to fleath. They were brought to the Mi ami Valley hospital. Hunting For Wild Man. Riverside, L. I., July 28. The wild man of mystery, who shot and probably fatally wounded Deputy George Stilwell. is still being hunted for by hundreds of persons along the whole width of Long Island. If he is brought to bay, a desperate battle is certain to follow, for the man Is armed with a hugh revolver. Cow Nurses Pigs. Winsted, Conn., July 28. A cow be longing to S. J. S. Rogers, of Barkhamstead, is nursing twelve little pigs whose mother died. Rogers was in a quandary when the old pig died, but decided to see if the cow would mother the orphans. They are thriving splen didly. Governor Folk's View. Madison, Wis., July 28. Governor Folk, of Missouri, who spoke at Moana Lake, criticised the non-enforcement of the Sunday law in Wisconsin. He said "Wisconsin has on the statute books a law requiring the closing of saloons Sunday. The law Is universally ignored. The enforcement of the Sun day closing law, in Missouri, reduced Sunday crime 40 per cent, and Improved the condition of workingmen and V-irtnaaa. Conors 11 v "

Many Richmond Manufacturers Believe That Time is Here for Action.
EXPRESSIONS ARE GIVEN TARIFF SHOULD BE PRESERVED ON SOME ARTICLES BUT IS DETRIMENTAL TO MANY LINES OF BUSINESS. Richmond has many advocates of the "standpat" policy, but it probably has more business men and manufacturers who feel that the revision of the tariff along certain lines is badly needed and they believe the Republi can party will see that this is done. From all over the state the same opinion comes and interviews with manufacturers in many cities brings forth the information that the sentiment is pronounced along this lfne. During the past day or so the Palladium has Interviewed local manufacturers and here are the views of some of them: H. E. Robinson, of the Robinson & Co. VI am very much in favor of the revision of the tariff and think that it will be a benefit to all manufacturing business." S. S. Strattan, Jr., of Gaar, Scott & Co. "We think that the time for a revision of the tariff along conservative lines has come. We are in favor of protecting those interests that need it, but there are many articles on which the tariff is much too nigh and conditions have changed in the last ten or fifteen years, while the tariff has not." Henry Gennett, of the Starr Piano Co. "Several articles used in our business which we import from abroad most Important of which is ivory, we can not buy ready for use in this country except from a trust. There are only two or three of these which handle the articles. Present tariff is not a protection to piano manufacturers at large, but only a benefit to a few. It ought to be open to the world. Revision of tariff would accomplish this and benefit piano manufacturers in other articles. We want a tariff, but we don't want a trust on a tariff." John M. Lontz, of the F. & N. Lawn Mower" Works. "The tariff schedule on some products is so high that it enables certain producers to organize an association and to advance the price on their products to an unreasonable extent and the users of such products are compelled to buy of the association. The present association price on steel shafting, now extensively used by lawn mower manufacturers, is a notable instance. FEAST TO COST GREAT SUM The Expenses of the Democratic Dinner in New York Will Reach $5,000. BRYAN TELLS OF PLANS WANTS NO CONTRIBUTIONS MADE THAT EXCEED $50 AND SAYS THAT $1 OFFERINGS, WOULD BE BETTER. tPubUshers PressJ New York, July 28. Until yesterday the Bryan Reception Committee, made up of the men named by the Commercial Travelers' Anti-Trust League, has gone an its way preparing for the reception to W. J. Bryan without thought, apparently, of the expense that would be entailed in carrying out the plans adopted. Yesterday President Hoge gave out a copy of a letter which he said he had received from Mr. Bryan in which Mr. Bryan said that he was In accordance with the view of the committee that sub scriptions to pay the cost of the reegption would be collected, none of them to exceed $50, and that $1 subscriptions would be preferable. Like other letters that it was alleged Bryan had sent to the league, this one was not made public in its original form,, but through Mr. Hoge it was announced that the committee deplor ed the fact that Mr. Bryan placed any limit on the subscriptions, as it ou!d make it harder to collect the full amount to defray the expenses which it was said would be about $5,000. The league also announced that all subscriptions above $5 would be acknowledged, and contributions of smal ler sums could see the list if they wished. Mysterious AtTair. Pittsburg. Pa., July 28.

The Richmond Man Sees no Great Benefit in Government Ownership.
AVERAGE FARE THE SAME WALTER ELLIOTT HAS PAID FARE ON RAILROADS IN EVERY COUNTRY IN . EUROPE WHAT HE FINDS. Walter Elliott, who is home for a brief rest after four year's touring of the old world as a vaudeville htar, says that if the government ownership of railroads in America do not give better results in general than those of Europe, that the people would not be so enthusiastic as they now believe they would. "I have traveled across and back again over almost every country in Europe. Call it approximately one the British Isles and I have done a little figuring on the railroad business as regards fares" said Mr. Elliott yesterday. "On an average, year in and year out, the rate of fare in America does not differ much from that in Europe. Call it approxiametely one dollar an hour and you have it. Railroading is probably as pood in Europe as in America but when it comes to rolling stock the roads in foreign countries are not to be compared with those here. Compartment cars are the worst nuisance that man ever invented. America would not stand them for a minute. The foreign railroads are burdened down with this clacs of cars and naturally will wear them out before getting new ones, but they are slowly coming to the American style. A few weeks ago on the London & Great Western railroad I saw two passenger coaches that were almost exactly like those in use here. Once in a while one gets aboard a train partially composed of compartment cars and here and there an aisle car. The Salisbury Wreck. I was in London when the horrible mishap occured, to the fast train that killed so many American tourists that just landed at Plymouth and the sensation caused was greater in London than it would have been in an American city had the wreck occurred this side of the Atlantic. Wrecks are rare in England, in fact all over Europe, due to the excellent condition of roadbeds. In this respect only are the roads superior to those in America and government ownership which is in vogue in many countries does not on an average reduce the rate of fare below that in this country.
