COVER WIDE TERRITORY. HEAVY DEMAND FOR LINCOLN LEAGUE BUTTONS FRANKLIN COUNTY LATEST TO DECIDE ON CAMPAIGN CLUB. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 15. Edward E. Neal, president of the IJncoln League of Indiana, is constantly being notified of the organization over the state of strong Republican clubs and is highly gratified because the club organizations are being extended into many townships. There Is a heavy demand for Lincola Lteague buttons. Mr. Neal has received 10,000 new buttons. The buttons bear a picture of Abraham Lincoln, with the word "Indiana" above and the word "League" below. The buttons are very email and of dainty appearance. Mr. Neal has been notified of the organization of clubs at Portland, Jay County; in Adams County, at Morocco and Brook, in Newton County; at Sheridan, in Hamilton County, and at Hammond, Gary, Richmond, New Castle, Wabash, Crawfordsville, Columbus and other points. A club is being organized at Oden, Daviess County, by R. J. McCallan and others. A big Republican club was organized at Bedford, last night A club will be organized tonight at Brookville by the Republicans of Franklin County. President Neal and Edward Fitzpatrick, clerk of the Supreme Court, will address this meeting. The organization meeting follows the Franklin County Republican convention today. A MAN'S HAT. Why It It Always Regarded a Fit 8ubject For Jokea? "I wonder why it is," says a young gentleman who spends most of his leisure time studying human nature at a populous street corner, "that a man's hat is always regarded as a fit subject for jokes? Anything that happens to his shoes hi a serious matter, and, although his vest, especially if it is out of the usual in design or color, is sometimes made the subject of pointed remarks, disaster to any other garment la regarded as a matter of sympathy. "But 11 he goes to church and puts down his bat at the end of his pew, where somebody kicks a dent in it and knocks it five feet down the aisle, or if he places it carefully beside him In a lecture room or theater and a preoccupied young woman comes in and sits down on it people laugh without seeming to feel the slightest sympathy for him or his sky piece. "A man chasing his hat through the street-on a windy day will always attract a grinning, unsympathetic crowd ready to lay bets on the distance the hat will travel before he catches up or on the amount of damage it will sustain before it is finally recovered, and so Irritated does the owner become when he finds his vicious dabs - and grabs at it greeted with ironical applause that he generally forgets to thank the man who 6 tops it by stamping on it and hands it back. I believe Joe Miller perpetrated Jokes about chasing the hat, but the heavy felts and cocked hats of Miller's time did not lend themselves readily to joking purposes, for when those old fashioned headpieces wer blown off they dropped to the ground and stayed there. A panama, a stovepipe or even a derby may run and fly by turns from Broadway to the postofflce and attract as much attention as a runaway team." fit. Louis Globe-Democrat , 8oldlers In Battle. Those who have taken part In a battle have confessed that were it not for the shouting and the noise they would lose their nerTes and run away. There Is always an interval of cowardice in the soldier, but it is quickly overcome, and, he fights grimly, unmindful of impending death. Bands were, of course. Invented to raise the spirits of soldiers. Martial music, whether from the drum or the bugle, has done a great deal in saving campaigns. Nobody can fight In a cold blooded manner, and In the excitement of a general engagement the most nervous of fighters recover wonderfully. Smoothing It Over.

Improvement Has Long Been Needed by Pennsy.

The Pennsylvania has a large force of men at work cutting down the grade and laying additional track over Blue Hill Just east of the city, and near the junction. It Is expected that the work will be almost completed by the middle of September. The railroad has been preparing to make this much nueeded improvement for some time. Trains now have to go at the rate of forty miles or more an hour to get up the grade, especially the freight trains. OLD ENGINEER JS STRICKEN John W. Mclntyre Has Paralysis. John W. Mclntyre, an engineer on the Pennsylvania lines, was stricken with a light stroke of paralysis this week on his daily run, which is in Ohio. He is well known to local engineers and firemen formerly working on the Richmond division. Mr. Mclntyre lost the use of his left arm and side for the time and with his right hand he managed to remain at his post to the end of his run. His condition is much improved. A WALPOLE ANECDOTE. To Save the Woman's Life She Couldn't Recall Who Told It. "I heard a very funny story the other night about Horace Walpole," said Mrs. Blake. "I wish I could remember who told It Henry, can you remem ber? Was it Mr. Sellers?" ' "No," said Blake stiffly; "it wasn't Sellers." "I wonder if it could have been Mr. .Windsor?" "No," repeated Blake; "it wasn't .Windsor." Before Mr. Blake had a chance to express an affirmative or negative opinion of that hazard as to the source of the Walpole anecdote Mr. Barton came in. Mrs. Blake, being by that time sure of herself, tried on him her recipe for winning universal affection. "Oh, Mr. Barton," she said, "I am very glad to see you. I have hardly stopped laughing since I saw you the last time." Mr.,Barton, a cadaverous man with solemn eyes, looked rather foolish. "Indeed?" he said. "May I ask what about?" "Over that funny story you told about Horace Walpole," said Mrs. Blake. "M-m-m Horace Walpole?" stammered Mr. Barton. "I am afraid you must have got me mixed up with somebody else. I don't know the first thing about Horace Walpole, and if I did know anything funny about him I couldn't tell it To tell a funny story is beyond my powers. Even if it was funny to start with it wouldn't be by the time I got through with it." Mrs. Blake's spirits were somewhat dashed by her fiasco in finding an owner for the Walpole story, but she bore up courageously, and later when Mr. Markham came in she drew him out of earshot of Mr. Barton and dilated on the pleasure his story of Horace Walpole had given her. Mr. Markham was not cast In the funeral mold that gave to Mr. Barton his grave aspect but he protested himself totally incapable of telling a funny story about Horace Walpole or anything else. Presently Mrs. Blake left the room to prepare the sandwiches. Mr. Blake followed her. "For the love of the Lord," he said, "don't make a fool of yourself again by trying to get some other idiot in there to father that Walpole story. I tojd you that yarn myself." Mrs. Blake stood still, with carving knife poised In air. "You?" she said incredulously, it was so clever too." New Times. . "And York A CHEMICAL FURY. Fluorine la a Rabid Gas That Nothing Can Resist. The fury of the chemical world is the element fluorine, although, strangely enough, it exists peacefully In company with calcium in fluorspar and also in a few other compounds. Although this element was known and named a good while ago, it long resisted the efforts of chemists to isolate it that is, prepare it in a pure state, unmixed chemically with other substances for the Instant the compound containing it was torn apart the free fluorine attacked and combined with whatever substance composed the vessel containing it It was finally isolated by the great French chemist Moissan. Fluorine Is a rabid gas that nothing can resist It combines with all metals, explosively with some, or if they are already combined with some other nonmetallic element it mercilessly tears them away from it and takes them to Itself. In uniting with sodium, potassium; calcium, magnesium and aluminium the metals become heated, even to redness, by the fervor of its embrace. Iron fillings slightly warm burst Into brilliant scintillations when exposed to it Manganese does the same. Even the noble metals, which at melting heat proudly resist the fascinations of oxygen, succumb to this chemical siren at moderate temperatures. Glass is devoured at once and water ceases to be water by contact with this gas, which, combined with its hydrogen, at the same moment forms thp acrid, glass dissolving, hydrofluoric acid and liberates ozone.

AIRSHIP IS MASTERED.

GOOD TIME MADE ON BOTH VOYAGES FURTHER TESTS ARE PLANNED FOR TODAY SHIP MAY BE ACCEPTED. Washington, Aug. 15. Capt Baldwin yesterday fulfilled the second requirement for the acceptance of his military dirigible balloon by making two successful speed trials at Ft Meyer. A week ago the airship was accepted so far as construction is concerned and today it is expected that the endurance trial will be made. Capt. Baldwin is allowed three flights to fulfill the endurance specification. Taking advantage of the most ideal weathei4 conditiions he has yet had Capt. Baldwin was ready to make the speed trial at 6:30 last evening and at (i:'.Y,i his dirigible shot across the starting line headed in a northerly direction. On the home stretch the airship pulled evenly and at a greater rate of speed than it had ever attained before crossed the finishing line at 6:48, fifteen minutes after starting. Deducting the time required for turning, it is expected tht the average 6peed for the flight will be found to be lGV-s miles. After replenishing the supply of gasoline Capt. Baldwin announced that he would make another official speed trial, the last opportunity he would have to get a bonus on his contract price of $6,7oO. At 7:10 the airship crossed the starting line the second time at a higher rate of speed than on the previous trip. The same course was followed, the wind striking the balloon at a slight angle. On this flight however, Capt. Baldwin steered a little closer to the wind. The airship turned for the return trip at 7:1, having made the two and one sixteenth miles in seven minutes. The trip back to Ft. Meyer was made in less than seven minutes, although the ship was traveling against the wind. It is believed that the official timers will figure Capt. Baldwin's average time for the last test at nineteen miles an hour. ATTENTION ASTHMA SUFFERERS!

Simplest Wiy of Locating a Ship's Position at Ssa. The average transatlantic traveler displays very little interest in the navigation of the vessel l?yond watchln.-j the ship's officers, sextant in hand, making observations, says a writer in Travel Magazine. Very few have any idea of the process by means of which the modern navigator is enabled to accurately place the ship's position at a stated time on the chart Out of sight of land a ship's geographical position is determined either by keeping a careful record of the course steered and the distance run, known as dead reckoning, or by the combined use of chronometer and sextant that is, by observation of the heavenly bodies. The operation of finding the latitude and longitude of observation can be performed in a number of ways, of which the simplest and most convenient is by measuring the altitude of the sun above the horizon at noon, as is indicated on the vernier of the sextant and spoken of at sea as "shooting the sun." An arithmetical computation by the aid of logarithms is thus quickly made which shows exactly how far the ship is north or south of the equa tor, or, in other words, the latitude. Finding the longitude, however, is a somewhat longer process. An observation Is made either in the forenoon or afternoon, the chronometer time of the horizon contact of the sun's image being noted. A calculation is then made which gives the exact time at the spot where the ship happens to be, and. as the chronometer carried aboard shows the exact time at Greenwich, the prime meridian of longitude, the difference between the two expresses in hours and minutes (easily convertible into degrees and miles) the distance east or west of Greenwich. Having thus, roughly speaking, found the latitude and longitude, a dot placed on the chart at the exact point where the lines of latitude and longitude cross denotes the ship's position. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling: sound or imperfect hearing;, and when It is entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will b-e destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but tin Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Candidate Don't Know Results Of His Training.

Hot Springs, Va., Aug. 15. "I would like to get on the scales and weigh, but I am not going to permit myself, for I might be disappointed in the belief that my daily exercise on the golf links has reduced my weight." This was Judge Taft's admission that he had not "weighed in" during his period of training for the campaign soon to begin in Cincinnati. "I am convinced," he added, "that I could have done nothing iu the way of exercise that would have done me more good than has the daily game of which I have so religiously played. But I am afraid that Instead of reducing I have simply hardened my muscle. I never felt more fit in my life for any task. E OPERATORS 00IT Relations Between the Two Are Severed. Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. lS. The Indiana Coal Operators' association has served notice on the officials of the United Mine Workers of America that all official relations between the two organizations shall cease in Indiana pending a settlement of differences at the Hudson mines. The resolutions state that the checkoff will be discontinued also pending a settlement of difficulties. National officers of the mine workers have been summoned from Indianapolis. ELIJAH AND THE RAVENS. A Story Which Did Not Fit This Particular Minister's Case. North Carolina probably never produced an abler preacher than Dr. Francis L. Hawkes, who once was pastor of Grace Episcopal church, New York. Short thick set, swarthy, black eyed and black haired, he was a striking personage. He was not only a great pulpit orator, but considered the best reader in the New York episcopacy. His rather luxurious family deterred him from accepting a bishopric, which would have otherwise been tendered. One day a delegation from a Buffalo church waited upon him and invited him to accept a pastorate in that city. "Well, gentlemen, other things being satisfactory, the question of acceptance narrows down to a business matter," said Dr. Hawkes. "What salary do you offer?" "Dr. Hawkes," said the spokesman, "we recognize that you have a high reputation and are willing to be liberal. Our recent pastor received $2,500, but on account of your standing we have decided to offer you $3,500." "My good man." cried the doctor, "do you know what salary I am receiving here?" "No, sir." "I get $15,000 and this parsonage, and. as I have an expensive family, I do not see my way clear to accept your offer." The spokesman looked rather sheepish, but made another essay. "If - we had known that sir, we would undoubtedly have looked elsewhere, but you should remember that the work of the Lord must be done, and, as for providing for your family, you know the story of Elijah and the ravens." "Now, my friends," responded the clergyman quizzically, "I have made the Bible my study ever since I was twenty-eight. I have read it through carefully and prayerfully over 100 times. I remember the raven incident perfectly, but nowhere can I find any reference to the Lord's providing for young Hawkes." THE CHARTER OAK. Bells Tolled and Funeral Dirges Played When It Fell. The charter oak of Hartford was a white oak. The story goes that when James, duke of York, ascended the throne of England and sent Andros to take away all colonial charters Connecticut alone refused to surrender hers. Andros was furious over this defiance, and Oct, 31, 16S7, he returned to the assembly hall of Hartford with a body of soldiers and demanded instant surrender of the charter, which lay in a box on the table. A hot discussion followed. Finally Andros stretched out his hand to seize the disputed paper. Then the candles were suddenly extinguished, and the people who had gathered on the street outside rushed in a disorderly crowd into the hall. There was a period of wild confusion in the dark, and when the candles were finally relighted no charter was to be found. It had been removed by Captain Wadsworth and concealed in the oak, which ever afterward bore its name. The oak was even then old. "When the first settlers were clearing their land the Indians begged that it might be spared. 'It has been the guide of our ancestors for centuries, they said, 'as to the time of planting our corn. When the leaves are the size of a mouse's ears, then is the time to put seed into the ground.' The Indians request was granted, and the tree, afterward becoming the custodian of the lost charter, became famous for ail time. It fell In a windstorm Aug. 21, 1S56, and so deeply was It venerated that at sunset on the day of its fall the bells of the city were tolled and a band of music played funeral dirges over its ruins. At the time of Its fall Its circumference one foot -from the ground was twenty-five feet, and it was estimated to be over 600 years old. Kansas City

WANTS $200 AN HOUR FOR SERVICES Physician Evidently Thinks It Hard Work to Attend Them. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Aug. 15. In his action against Harry K. Thaw for $600 for his services as a physician, heard at Fishkill Landing, Dr. John P. Wilson was on the witness stand and gave his direct testimony. He said that Thaw had called him to the jail three times and each visit occupied about an hour. As a result of those calls Dr. Wilson asserted he had been prepared to testify as an expert as to Thaw's mental condition. After Dr. Wilson had given his testimony, which was very brief. Attorney Charles Morschauser, for Thaw, desired to crossexamine the witness, but as there was no court stenographer present the hearing was again postponed until next Tuesday at 10 a. m.
