BAIN WILL NOT STOP FAIR RACES

Improvements Made at Hagerstown Track Which Insure Good Sport. MANY EXHIBITS PLANNED. FAIR THIS YEAR WILL PROBABLY BE THE BEST EVER ATTEMPTED BY THE BOARD GAMBLING A THING OF THE PAST. Last year the Hagerstown fair was vlBlted by heavy rains, which in the language of the horsemen, "crippled the track." This year the management of the fair says "let it rain if the weather man insists." It will take a mighty hard rain to "cripple" the track this year. All around the track a ditch twelve feet wide and twentyfour inches deep has been dug. This drains the track perfectly. Today the Hagerstown track is one of-the best in the state and it is expected that iuTing the races that will be held in -conjunction with the fair some fast, time will bo made. Already several crack running horses are on hand and it is expected that a3 soon as the Lima race meet la concluded' there wil be a number of fast horses shipped toHagerstown. Racing events wil be held every day of the fair, July 28, 29, 30, and 31. and one of the most interesting of these events promises to be the ladies' hitching race. This race will be held on July 20. Several out of town ladles have already entered this event and there will be several Hagerstown women In It. The conditions of this race permit each entry to have a man lead the horse upon the track and hold the shafts. The woman who harnesses up her horse and gets around the track first wins. An atractive feature of the fair will be the floral and fine arts exhibits. Already the floral hall 4s a bower of beauty and there are enough exhibits on hand to make it most attractive. The Starr Piano company will have a large exhibit of various grades of pianos. Officers of the fair are now busy staking off spaces for thestands and shows without which no county fair would be a complete success. All shows on the grounds the management guarantees will be strictly moral. The fair this year will not be a drawing card for the booze fighters and lovers of games of chance as Hagerstown was recently engulfed by the temperance wave, all of Its saloons being wiped out of existence. With the saloons went the gambling games which used to thrive in them during fair week. DICKENS' PHRASES. The Extent to Which They Have "Made Lufaacc." . Since Shakespeare no writer has "made language" to the extent that Dickens has done, and the number of common colloquialisms taken from his novels and which everybody uses every day Is the outstanding proof of the success with which he has appealed t6 the Imagination of the nation. now often one hears "Barkis Is willIn," "Beware of vldders," "Oliver Twist asks for more," "Codlln's the friend, not Short," "I don't believe there's no slch a person," "Let me put my lips to It when I am so dlspoged," "Waiting ifor something to turn up," "A trifle wearing." "The law Is a hass," "The demnition bowwows," and so on! Not a few actual words have come from Dickens to the dictionary Podsnappery, Pickwickian, PecksnifHan. Bumbledom and many others. Dolly Varden, the pretty heroine of "Barnaby . Rudge," has given her name to a hat, while Mrs. Leo Hunter, the Artful Dodger, Uriah Heep and Mrs. Jarley have become common generic terms. London Express. Ron of Common Air. In summer time the air used for ventilating the house of commons In London passes through blocks of ice. In winter it Is heated. In fog the outer air passes through layers of cotton wool six inches thick. During fortyeight hours of fog the cotton wool on one occasion was as black as the back of a chimney. Thanks to these precautions, the house has been absolutely free from mist, and the atmosphere is In normal condition while a dense fog prevails outside. The normal temperature of the house of commons Is kept at the level of C2 degrees except in sultry weather, when it is raised to 03 degrees. Earliest Nrn-ipiprr. The first dally newspaper was a manuscript letter written by salaried correspondents and forwarded by them every twenty-four hours from London to the provinces. That was in the days of the early Stuarts. During the Commonwealth these letters were printed In type and circulated in large numbers. Even so long ago :is 16S0 the law of libel was such as to be characterized by Judge Scroggs as making any newspaper publication illegal and tending to provoke a breach of the peace. !fot Punbtnfr.

Affairs of the

It Is quite probable that at the close of the minor league season a fact bunch of players will be signed up for this city to play independent ball until late in October. An effort will be made to secure games with big league clubs. The Richmond Amusement company has not been able to secure the .'Jr forfeit it posted as a guarantee to finish the I. O league season. As every club in the league failed to finish the season the local club is clearly entitled to its money. At the close of the American and National league seasons At Spalding will sign up a team of star players and send them on a tour of the Hawaiian Lslands, Japan and the Philippines. In all these countries base ball is very popular and the Americans will receive a hearty welcome at all points. One thing has been demonstrated by the London Olympic games. The claim of the English being "true sportsmen" is just one of thoso funny old British jokes. It is too deep, however, for the Yankee athletes to discover the humor. Over in Indianapolis they have a "champion" Turk wrestler, Kara Osman. About every other night some Hoosier product takes a fall out of him but after being properly repaired and PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER LEADS TAMMANY SONG Siezes Cane and Leads Wild Demonstration. Denver, Colo., July 20. The Tammany delegation which took in the national here and then went to Yellowstone park, returned Sunday with a good story of their experience with Alice Roosevelt Longworth in the nartlonal park. The Tammany stages were rolling along when they saw a cloud of dust and presently heard emerging from it the words of their favorite song,"Tammany." When the coaches met they found Mrs. Longworth leading her companions In song. The delighted delegates gave the Tammany yell, and Mrs. Longworth, seizing her husband's cane, sprang from her coach, called out the singers, made them form In line, and. with the Tammany crowd around the stages, twirling the cane and singing Tammany at the top of her voice. Other songs followed, and when all grew weary of the exertion they sat down and rehearsed their experiences at Denver. Congressman Longworth did not sing, but sat on the front seat of his coach smiling over the performance. this concorr?- yon, 'Ma caretUJy.

remodeled,, psman serenely bobs up again wittysthe' unblushing statement that he is a champion. ' Danny Kik, a Michigan league output, has been signed up to replace Bush, who goes to the majors next year. He is about three inches smaller than his name, but for noise he has the one best sideshow barker lashed to the mast. Kik is a fast midget and a fairly good batter. This spring he wanted to sign with the locals, but his terms were too fancy. In a week or two we expect Coach Vail to flounce into the office and give us some avoirdupois dope on his football squad for the coming season. Throughout the gridiron period of athletics the Palladium will print full obituary and hospital reports. "What caused the fall of the Roman Empire?" BUI Haceamer, an old time ball player was asked. Taking a fresh chew, Bill replied with a wise shake of his head, "Why de guy was punk on balls and strikes and he couldn't see a base decision wid a pair of field specs. Dats what causod his downfall." If the Grays keep on winning, Cambridge City may yet see the world's championship series pulled off there next fall. Rah for the Grays. WHO WILL WIN? NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Indications are very favorable for the Cutter Stock Company, which opens an engagement at the Gennett tonight, doing a very large business. It has been some weeks since either theater was open and interest will naturally be greater on this account. The opening bill will be "For Home and Honor" and beginning on Tuesday there will be a daily matinee. Tonight the usual courtesy will be extended the ladies in regard to free admission. The Cutters promise more for popular prices than any stock company that has appeared at the Gennett In years. Blivens My dear. I'm really alarmed about Tommy's health.

GOES TO FIFTEENTH

Cambridge City Grays Defeat Dayton in Extra Inning Contest. MANY THRILLING FEATURES Cambridge City, Ind., July 2a. The most thrilling game in the base ball line this season was the one pulled off at Capital Hill park yesterday afternoon, when the Grays slipped one over on the Larks, city champions of Dayton, O., in the fifteenth round, and won the game by a score of S to 7. Connor was chosen to pitch for the local bunch and seemed to have it all over the visitors until in the sixth frame he strained himself in an attempt to field a ball and seemingly weakened, allowing 5 clean bingles, which gave the visitors six runs in this one session. Boyd was put on the mound in the seventh and pitched a grand game. He had the Westinghouse on all the while and had it not been for center fielder Weaver dropping a fly in the eighth he would have held the Buckeye lads scoreless. The Grays added two runs to their side of the score sheet in the eighth and tied the score. From this time until the last of -the fifteenth neither side was able to cross the pan, although the locals had several chances. It was in this frame that Hamilton singled to left. Weaver sacrificed, Hamilton taking second and third and then home on a wild heave to the third corner, and so ended the long nerve racking event. The visitors played a good game in the field and were the hardest hitting bunch that has been on exhibition here this season. It was a half day full of exciting situations and real base ball amusement. The Grays are surely going a merry clip. Cicero will play next Sunday. The summary follows:

Cambridge City, Ind., July 20. The Little Giants defeated the Richmond Nationals for the second time this season at Capital Hill park yesterday afternoon. The score was 8-2. The features of the game were a home run by Second Baseman Green of the Giants in -the fifth inning and the stealing home by Shortstop Knox in this same frame. The visitors would have been shut out. but for a wild heave by first baseman Young in the seventh, on which two of them romped home. The Nationals have claimed the county championship, but it has gone glimmering from them now. Ancient Thomas Parr. Thomas Parr lived 152 years and was buried in Westminster abbey. Born in Shropshire, England, in 1483, Parr led the life of an agricultural laborer In his native place till blindness and extreme old age kept him Indoors. Early in 1635, his longevity having made him famous, Thomas, earl of Arundel, took him to London to be exhibited to Charles I. He was lodged in the Strand, but the change of air and diet told upon him, and in November of that same year he died. He was described as a good looking man of medium size, with a deep chest and a thick beard. He attributed his excellent health to moderation in eating and drinking. The Pepper Vine. The most common and widely used of all spices Is pepper. It is a native of the East Indies, but is now cultivated in various parts of the tropical belt of this hemisphere. The plant Is a climber and has a smooth stem sometimes twelve feet long. The fruit Is about the size of a pea and when ripe is of a bright red color. In cultivation' the plant is supported by poles. In some localities small trees are used Instead of poles, for the best pepper Is grown In a certain degree of shade. Self Approving?.

BEALLVIEWS LOST

Liberty Baseball Team Had No Trouble in Beating Local Aggregation. FINAL SCORE WAS 12 TO 2. Liberty, Ind., July 20. The Beallview team of Richmond went down before the locals Sunday, being beaten by the one-sided score of 12 to 2 in a game which was a farce, so far as the visitors' playing was concerned. Their fielding was the poorest exhibition seen here in any game ever played a! the West Side park, short stop anrt first base being specially weak. Bull? pitched a nice game despite poor sun port, as Smith was the only batter t connect with his shoots during the first six innings, but bases on ball' seven infield errors and Smith's threi timely singles scored six runs for th home team. Liberty played a con paratlvely clean game in the field ar.u as Rothermel was pitching shut-out ball the game was never in doubt. The Richmond sluggers secured but four hits off "Sunny Jack," Helmick's four. In he second inning an error in center, a batter hit by pitched ball and Bulla's hit, which bounded off Barnard's leg, scored the only runs for the Quaker City boys. They were retired in one, two, three order for the next five innings, not a man reaching first base. Helmick singled in the seventh and O'Hair lost Warfel's pop fly In the sun, but Cooney struck out, retiring the side. Richmond quit in the ninth. Kuhlenbeck started the horseplay and his bunt was allowed to go for a hit; no one attempting to field It; he was allowed to steal his way to third, where Rothermel showed him up by catching him with a snap throw to Garrison. A good crowd was disappointed with the poor exhibition of the Beallviews as their work in a game here some weeks ago was high class. Outfide of Rothermel's pitching, the features of the game were Smith's batting, he securing five hits out of five times up. and the all-round work of Garrison, the fast little thirdbaseman of the Liberty team. Cracker had a hard game to umpire as there were numerous close decisions, but the teams broke about even on these plays.

A writer on natural history complains that men are prone to regard masculine courage In defense of others as a virtue purely human. In reality, self sacrificing for the female sex or for the young is part of the scheme of nature, and every male thing is strong and splendid in appearance because he Is the descendant of those who have proudly held and guarded "the privilege of death." Another writer tells a story which illustrates this point. Two entomologists, hunting at night, clambered over a gate with their swinging lanterns and found themselves In a field filled with sheep. The result of their coming was panic and a furious stampede. The sheep charged helter skelter away from the lanterns and huddled together at the far end of the field. But there was a ram among them, and as the flock scurried away this creature 6tood firm, covering the retreat. Then, steadily and majestically, the huge ram advanced with lowered head toward the mysterious lights and pressed them back to the gate. This is only one graphic story of many that might be told of masculine courage throughout nature. Man has some virtues which animals, so far as we can judge, know nothing about, but heroism the pride of affording protection to the weak and daring death for the security of the flock is not a human attribute alone any more than Is maternal affection. THE SPIRIT OF HOME. It Haat Be Within Yon If Yon Would Create a Home. To create a home you must have the spirit of home. Just as the smallest village may have Its history, its moral stamp, so the smallest home may have Its soul. Oh, the spirit of places, the atmosphere which surrounds us in human dwellings! What a world of mystery! Here even on the threshold the cold begins to penetrate; you are ill at ease; something Intangible repulses you. , There no sooner does the door shut you in than friendliness and good humor envelop you. It is said that walls have ears. They have also voices, a mute eloquence. Everything that a dwelling contains is bathed In an ether of personality. And I find proof of its quality even in the apartments of bachelors and solitary women. What an abyss between one room and another room! Here all is dead, indifferent, commonplace; the device of the owner is written all over It even In his fashion of arranging his photographs and books. All is the same to me! There one breathes in animation, a contagious joy in life. The visitor hears repeated in countless fashion: "Whoever you are, guest of an hour, I wish you well. Teace be with you!" Charles Wagner. Tantalizing"- " " "What ar your grounds for seeking a divorce 7 asked the lawyer. "Incompatibility of temper," replied the woman. "Do yon quarrel ?" persisted the lawyer.

SOME FAMOUS V0MEN BEAUTIES WHO HAVE FIGURED IN THE FATE OF NATIONS. The Power aad the Traaile EadinaT of Henrietta Stnart and Hme. de Pompadour Louisa of Prussia, Who Won Slleaia From Xapoleon. It Is curious that no picture gallery has ever been made of the beautiful women who have influenced history. From the Cays of the great Egyptian queen many a dull page of history has been lighted up by some fair face that has brought a little human Interest into the dry and cold calculations of kings and politicians. Antony was not the last politician whose course was influenced by beauty. Think of the beautiful Louisa of Prussia Jesting with Napoleon for a kingdom. "I knew that I was to see the most beautiful queen In existence," said Napoleon to Talleyrand after a banquet given in her honor, "but I have found the most beautiful queen and at the same time the most interesting woman in the world." And Louisa had won from him the restoration of Silesia. It Is said, Indeed, that she laughingly offered him a rose in exchange for the fortress of Magdeburg, but Napoleon was one of the Iron men of the world, lie kept the flower and Iagdeburg. A book of "Beautiful Women," by Hallett Hyatt, has pictures of some of the most beautiful women that have ever lived, and Mrs. Steuart Erskine has gathered their romantic stories. One comes upon a picture of Eliza Farren, the actress, who began life by playing childish parts In a strolling company and advanced to fame in London as Miss Ilardcastle in "She Stoops to Conquer." She became a favorite in society and married the twelfth Lord Derby, when she "lived happily ever after," taking her place at court and in society. No barriers are insurmountable to the career of beauty. Here is the picture of "Madame," the beautiful Henrietta Stuart, youngest daughter of Charles I., who married the Duke of Orleans. The features seem hard and the expression somewhat cold and 6tately. She would appear a woman more of brain than tenderness. In reality she had a sparkling wit, with that wonderful gift of personal magnetism "All men loved and most women adored her," wrote a gallant Frenchman In his memoirs. Life In the French court was a continual round of pleasure, and the days were passed in ballets and theatricals. In the morning madame would drive out with her ladies, to be escorted on their return by King Louis XIV. and his court on horseback. After supper they would all drive out, accompanied by Lulli's violins, to watch the moonlight on the water and talk the moonshine of lovers. Five . years later madame was the king's trusty adviser and the only medium of communication between him and her brother, Charles II. It was in the spring of 1C70 that she brought about that secret treaty of Dover that made Charles a Roman Catholic and plunged England into war .with Holland. That was the summit of madame'. power. The seqnel was ghastly and dramatic. A few weeks later she was at St Cloud In the flush of high spirits at her success. A glass of Iced chicory water was brought at her request, and she drank it oft quickly. Five minutes later madame was no more. All the power of her fascination and beauty was ended bjr a secret, poison. .As the . cages -aretcmed the .portrait

Her birth was very humble indeed, but "be came In the way of Louis XV.. who gave her unlimited influence till she became a recognized power in Euroie. For many years she conducted the foreign ' policy of France, Interviewing ambassadors and treating with kings. He- ' buffed by Frederick the Great, this amazing woman made overtures to Maria Theresa of Austria to divide bis kingdom between them, and. sitting in her summer bouse, she gayly arranged with a couple of diplomats the repartition of Europe. Moreover, bat for the freedom she gave to her personal likes and dislikes, it Is not improbable that she would have accomplished some of.' the Jess wild of ber schemes. Her dramatic end has oftrn been told. In the midst of a discussion on affairs of state, as she sat rouged and powdered In her chair, the cure who was with ber rose to go. She detained him. "One moment. M. le Cure," she said, "we will take our departure together." And a few minutes later the beautiful diplomatist was dead. The portrait of the nnlucky Marie Antoinette, frank, queenly, superb, of whom Burke rapturously wrote. "Glittering like the morning staf, full of life and splendor and Joy." is here too.

It is always grimly pathetic , that the one French queen who a little fulfilled the part that we bare been taught to expect from a queen should . have been sacrificed to the mad rage of the revolution. Angelica Kauffman was the child of a Tyrolese peasant, wbo made ber way by the force of her artistic gifts as well as ber beauty. She was one of the original members of the P.oyal scademy. Like many a beautiful woman who never becomes famous, she was married secretly to an adventurer wbo passed himself off as Count Frederick de Horn.
