So important was the matter that it went over for a special meeting to be held Wednesday. The Uniform Rank has already selected Milwaukee for its convention, subject to the approval within six months of the Supreme Lodge, but considerable sentiment for a convention In the South has developed. Little headway was made on matters of importance to the subordinate lodges and after a long debate on the amplification of the ritual of the order the matter still remains undecided.

"Shorty" Jessup says those post, season games are sure things -al-j though he can not tell much about the probable lineup Just now. All the bugs would like to hear anything that listens like an echo from a base ball park and even a speck of dust off the diamond in the left, optic would not be wiped out Have you noticed this season how little attention the metropolitan dailies are paying to the few race meets? Is this a reflection of public sentiment? The ex-college player" has not been so prominent in base ball this season as for some years past. Is this a blow at the coaches of the country or an Indication of improved scholarship. Wonder if those Earlham football players, who are selling aluminum cooking utensils this vacation will try any "ringer" tactics to prove the genuiness of their wares. It was Centerville that won from the Nationals in the game Sunday Instead of the reverse as stated In this paper yesterday. The Center township lads heaved the willow in great style and the count was 8 to 0. The Nationals never had a look In. The return of Mike Kelley to the management of St. Paul was celebrated by a 9 to 3 victory over Minneapolis yesterday. Gehring twirled in fine form and knocked out a homer and a double. Grover Land, the best catcher on the Toledo team has been sold to Cleveland and will report at the end of the A. A. season. South Bend fell down yesterday after winning ten straight games and lost to Terre Haute by one run. Moore, the ex-Richmondite pitched for the Benders.

Richmond Giants may play a series of games. .. . The practice of the local target shooters at Athletic park Is worth witnessing. The discs are broken with remarkable regularity by some of the best shooters. John T. Brush, who owns the New York Nationals is looking to the big aeries for the world's championship. He figures on the Giants taking the bunting in their league. In the attempt to break the world's automobile record for one mile, at Lexington, Ky., yesterday, Barney Oldfield reeled it off in 59 seconds.

This. is a state and track record. . Charley Olson, Swede, defeated the Greek Demetral In a wrestling bout at Indianapolis last night. The ccTtest was rough and brutal. It was witnessed by the largest crowd that ever saw a wrestling match in Indianapolis. Johnson pitched a great game against Detroit yesterday and when Mullin went wild, the Nationals scored a victory. Two great games were played by Cleveland and Philadelphia. The "Naps took the only contest completed. Only twenty-nine men faced Walsh in the Sox-Highlander struggle yesterday. The Chicagoan had things working well. Those Boston Americans are remarkably troublesome for the leaders. They caused Chicago's downfall and now are giving St. Louis a severe attack of indigestion. Overall allowed New York only two hits but the Cubs lost the game by one run. A pass and an error by Evers resulted in the loss. Leifield was pounded out of the box and Pittsburg was defeated by Philadelphia with a one run margin. Brooklyn's Bell tinkled yesterday and he won his own game by batting in two runs and defeating the Reds. Dr. Cokely had to be relieved from further service.

All through the continent of Africa the natives have a very perfect system of signaling with drums, by which means they rap out messages from village to village, and It Is quite wonderful how swiftly and how far they are able to spread news. The drumming is always done at night, when sound travels farther, and as one lies awake on a still, clear night the ear Is often gently assailed by the low, musical roll from a drum in the village near, and one waits with pleasant expectancy till the answering echo comes, muffled by distance, from a village sometimes two miles away.

It is bounded on the north and east by the barren desert of middle age and on the south and west by the ateep and Impassable mountains of success. The true bohemian is drunk on nothing but ambitions and Ideals, and. though these leave no headache, they frequently leave an emptiness of the stomach. The true bohemian has an appetite the morning after, but there is often no breakfast Sydney Bulletin. Public Opinion. Public opinion is a will-o'-the-wisp. It Is here today and gone tomorrow.

r0 GORGEOUS FLOUT Three Quaker Churches to Participate in Sunday School Rally. BACK TO DAYS OF FOX. MEMBERS OF CHURCHES WILL DON QUAKER GARB OF OLDEN DAYS OTHER CHURCHES ALSO LAYING THEIR PLANS. The Friends' churches of the city, according to reports made to Secretary Humpe of the Wayne county Sunday school association, will unite and have one big float in the great Sunday school parade to be given August 22 on the occasion of the rally services. and they expect to out do all the other Sunday schools in the city or county so far as the beauty of the float is concerned. There will be also three other floats representing the Friends in the parade. The Quakers have the most novel plan of any of the Sunday schools yet heard from. The prominent members of the East Main street the South Eighth street and the North A Btreet churches will unite In their efforts to make a good show. On a large float which will represent the united interests of all Friend3 hcurches of this city, will be many members of the religious society who reside in the city. It is probable they will be dressed In the old Quaker garb of the days of George Fox. The entire plan will be given further consideration at a meeting of the representatives of three churches this week. The St. Paul's German Lutheran church will not however, be outdone by the efforts of other churches. It is claimed that this church will have between six and ten large floats in their part of the procession. There will be a float to represent each department. Secretary Humpe received word this morning from the Trinity Lutheran church that it will enter the parade with several floflats and have a large marching brigade to help make the rally a success. This church Is not affiliated with the Wayne county Sunday school association, and the association will probably give this church a vote of thanks for its efforts in furthering the success of rally day.

IS AFTER JONDURAS State Department at Washington Says Exequaturs Must Be RestoredMINISTER TO TEGUCIGALPA. Washington, DD. C, Aug. 11. The state department is taking up directly with the government of Honduras the settlement of the question arising from the cancellations of the exequaturs of the American consul and vice consul at Ceiba, by President Davlla, because of the alleged Intervention of those officers in the political affairs of Honduras. has directed Mr. Dodge, the American minister to Salvador, to proceed at once to Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, for conference with the officials of the foreign office there. It may require several days before Mr. Dodge can reach Tegucigalpa, so that some time must elapse before he will begin his conferences with the Honduran officials. In this case the state department Is Ignoring the Honduran minister here, Mr. TJgarte, who has not been at the state department since he had an interview with Mr. Bacon about ten days ago, which is said to have terminated abruptly. The state department says the exequaturs must be restored. PARIS AND LONDON. Contrasts In People and Manners In the Two Great Capitals. In the streets French traffic all goes to the right; London coachmen drive always to the left. Parisians live together in large houses like barracks; Londoners have one family In a house. The Londoner has a latchkey, the Frenchman a concierge. Paris has its cafes, London Its clubs. Parisian beds are up In an alcove In the wall; Londoners sleep in the middle of the room. Londoners take three or four meals a day, Parisians two. Paris dines, London eats. Paris loaves are long, London loaves are square. Paris drinks wine, London beer. Paris takes coffee, London tea. Frenchmen while dining talk to their neighbor and enjoy each other's society; Britons sit alone at table and don't say much, but enjoy their food. London workmen work In their ordinary clothes,- call each other "mate." smoke clay pipes and punch each other's heads occasionally; Parisian workmen do their business In blouses, call their friends "citizen" or "sir," smoke cigarettes, take their hats off to each other and do their fighting with their feet London Tit-Bits. Defective Education. An old darky in Alabama called across the fence to his neighbor's son. who is a student at the Atlanta university, says a writer In the Philadelphia Ledger. "Look hyar, boy," he said, "you goes to school, don't yer?" "Yes, sir," replied the boy. "Getting education, ain't yer?" "Yes, sir. "Larnlng 'rlthmetlc an flggering on a slate, eh V -Yes. sir." "Well, it don' tak two whole days ter make an hour, do It?" "Why, no," answered the boy. "Waal, said the old man, "you was going ter bring that hatchet back In an hour, wasn't yer?

FORMAL PROTEST TO BE REGISTERED AT MASS MEETING (Continued From Page One.j outright, owing to the nature of the ownership by the city. The wedge shaped section between the tracks of the steam railway company and the lake has been valued at $500 in proceedings between the city and railroad company. Several months ago the railroad company, through Its superintendent. Nettleton Neff, proposed the purchase of this plot of ground which extends from a point to a width of fifty feet and a length of 470 feet. It was agreed the land could not be sold but friendly condemnation proceedings were to be entered into and the railroad company acquire the land in consideration of $500. The company demurred to the price at first, but later Supt Neff expressed his approval. The matter was referred to council by the board and council approved it. This marked the end, however, as the railroad company has since failed to materialize' in Its offer and the city retains the plot. It was stipulated (in the preliminary arrangements that the company would have no right to build retaining walls or make use of any tracks that might be Installed for car storage purposes unless the agreement first was abrogated by mutual agreement. The company went so far as to agree to Bod the embankment and plant shrubbery in order to improve the appearances of the slope. INJUNCTION POSSIBLE. Shown One Property Owner, M. C. Benham is Injured. After a long search it is believed the remonstrators against the use of Twenty-third street as 'a location for lnterurban tracks, have found a way whereby a valid claim for Injunction proceedings may be presented. It was stated by Dr. M. C. Benham, this morning, he purchased the ground whereon is located his home. Glen View, with the distinct understanding the ground surrounding him always was to be used for the purpose of a public park and no other. The Twenty-third street route will pass directly in the rear of Dr. Benham's premises and It is believed, opponents of the Twenty-third street line say he could show specific claim of Injury, in case a car line is put In operation along the proposed route. If Injunction proceedings are instituted it is probable the name of Dr. Benham will be used as plaintiff, owing to the reasons stated. It has been claimed by local attorneys that injunction proceedings could not be Instituted with a chance of being held valid, because the law requires the situation of specific injury to property. It has been held that this could not he shown owing to the fact the park is the property of the city of Richmond in fee simple, which makes it the property of one citizen as much as that of another. Since the discovery of the conditions governing the deal by which Dr. Benham secured his property have become known, it is believed this situation will be taken advantage of. When Judge Fox of the Wayne circuit court sustained the demurrer In the quo warranto proceedings against the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern. Traction company, he said the wrong method of procedure had been adopted. "What would have been the right way to proceed?" he was asked. He answered: "By Injunction." When told, then,, he might have op portunity' to hear Injunction proceed

ings and there is a difference of legal opinion, he said: "Well then forget that I ever said anything about it I haven't Investigated the matter." Since then the judge has made a personal investigation of the laws and finds a diversity of opinion.
