TAFT'S RELIGION IS 8ETTEH THAN BRYAN'S So Says Dr. J. W. Caldwell of Dublin in a Remarkable Address.

SCORES CRITICAL ONES. THOSE WAGING BATTLE AGAINST TAFT ARE -DOING SO IN OPPOSITION TO SPIRIT OF AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS. "I think more of Taft's religion than I do of Bryan's." This was a statement made by Dr. j. W. Caldwell of Dublin, this county. In a remarkable address just reecntly delivered by him at Laplata, Mo. This address has attracted great interest la very section of the country. Dr. Caldwell is one of the most brilliant men In Wayqne county. He is a personal friends of President Roosevelt and a most accomplished scholar. For some time he has been dean of the Ryder Divinity school, Lombard College, Galesburg, 111, About two years ago he was elected president of the Homecroft at Dublin. Dr. Caldwell is a personal friend of both Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan. From a religious and non-partisan standpoint lie holds Mr. Taft in higher regard than he does Mr. Bryan. The remarkable address he delivered at Laplata is. In part, as follows: "There are a few preachers and socalled religious editors who are weak enough to attack a man's religious views In order to hurt his political prospects. I know and admire both Taft and Bryan, but I want to say I think more of Taft's religion than I do of Bryan's. "I am almost ashamed to call myself a preacher when I see some things preachers are doing. Don't these critics of another man's religion know that what they are doing is contrary to the spirit of American institutions to the declaration of independence and to the constitution? No man has a right to attack that liberty of conscience guaranteed him by the constitution. Wherever that has been done there has been revolt, persecution and bloodshed. Your forefathers realized the menace in a union of church and state and wisely provided against it "Unlversalism means liberalism. Mr. Taft is a Unitarian. Unitarians believe in God. They believe He is the father of the universe. They believe that God is love. They believe mai jas been endowed with reasoning faculties and that reasoning faculty is r (I ine as the faculty of faith. Unitariism stands for rationalism, cienoe and common sense in religion. As to Jesus, every man in the Unitarian church is left that question to decide himself. "I believe him to be a great prophet a leader. We believe, like Lincoln, who said his church should have over its door; 'Love to God and love to man.' Let us attack no man's, but reflect the religion of all men." Dr. Caldwell mentioned Emerson, Lowell, Holmes, Bryant, Longfellow, Cooper, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Dr. Edward Everett Hale and a score of other famous Americans, who held the same religious faith as Mr. Taft. At the conclusion of his address be was cheered. PARTIES WANT UNITY AMONG THEMSELVES (Continued From Page One.) Taft's election, it disposes already of two cabinet positions, as it is well understood in political circles that Chairman Hitchcock Is to be postmaster general. Despite the numerous slates that have been published, it is not likely Mr. Taft has gone farther than this in the construction of a cabinet. The next ten years are going to see a large decrease in Uncle Yarn's pension roll. The high water mark was reached In 1904 when for a time more than a million pensioners were on the roll. The million figure represented an uninterrupted growth since the civil war, though a considerable impetus was given It after the war with Spain. In 1806 there were but 120,000 pensioners. - In 1SS0 there were 2oO,000; in 1890, 850,000 and b 1900 it had jumped to more than 050,00ft The increase continued until it passed the million mark In 1904, and then began to re cede. At first the recession was gradual, but each year of the past four has seen a larger decrease. Pension experts figure that the yearly decrease will continue to grow for the next ten or fifteen years, after which the decrease will become smaller each year for another period of ten years or more. Then, there will be another period of growing decreases until the pension roll is practically wiped out, provided there is not another war. A New York man in Washington the other day told a new story on President Roosevelt. When Roosevelt was a boy he wore good clothes and went to a private school. With a companion he passed each morning, a public school where the boys did not wear such good clothes. Frequently the two little "dudes' had either to fight or run, and they always fought. One morning when the struggle had been unusually sanguinary, the light of battle shown in young Roosevelt's eye "Say, he exclaimed to his com panion, after they had fought their way through the rangs of the public scholars, "let's go "round the block and come back and tight 'em. again."

New York will take on a holiday appearance Saturday. The old town, will give the returning Yankee Olympic victors the glad band. Already the city is being decorated for the occasion. Monday the athletes will go to Oyster Bay to receive the congratulations of President Roosevelt. The Chicago Cubs yesterday once more looked like world champions. Pfeister was in great form and received great support, consequently the Giants never had a look in. And if those above mentioned Cubs, who many wise heads have dropped from the running, should cop the bunting again this year there would be a few people around Richmond who could say "I told you so." The four American Association leaders are now so congested they are stepping on each other. The Champs are fourth and only a game and a half behind the leader, Louisville.

In a small South American state which had recently undergone a change of administration the new potentate summoned an artist and ordered n?w designs for all the official uniforms. "I wish showy costumes very showy," he 6aid, "for the people are impressed by them. I have here some sketches that I myself have made. Look them over and be guided by these ideas as far as possible." The artist examined the sketches carefully. "This." he said, turning the pages, "is evidently for the navy and this for the army, but, if you please, what Is this a long plume ou a three cornered hat. yellow dress coat trimmed with purple, and" "That," replied the chief of state gravely, "is for the secret police." Be Kind Today. Less spent on the dead and more spent on the living would bring about many happy results. Hearts are breaking, loved ones wait and tears flow all because of the withholding of kind words unspoken and letters never sent. The aged father and mother far oft in the country would often be cheered did the son or daughter more frequently send them a letter. Behold the sad mistakes of others, their remorse, and profit by the same before it is too late. Today, now, speak the loving word, send the tender message, write the letter you put off day by day, and don't wait until you forget it or until bitter memories hannt yon-

Sporting World

American league clubs were forced to remain idle because of the actions of the weather man. Wonder if President Roosevelt will congratulate Ralph Rose for his failure to show common politeness in dipping the American colors when the Olympic athletes paraded past King Edward. A crowd of twenty-five thousand people turned out in Chicago yesterday to see the Cubs trounce the Giants. Bill Clymer, manager of the Columbus outfit, is making a game effort for his fourth straight pennant. "My team has as good show as any of them," says Bill. It's a cinch that none of the. teams have any more ginger than the champs. Will some one kindly explain how such a clever fellow as Bill Clymer with his great record with Columbus, has been allowed o remain in a minor league. He could do wonders for Cincinnati. Clymer is a Hugh Jennings type of a base ball leader. INTEREST IN TENNIS Campbell and Foster Will Battle for First Place in Tournament. CLOSE MATCH EXPECTED. Campbell and Foster are scheduled to play the finals in singles of the August senior tennis tournament at the public school play grounds. Both players are exceptionally fast and it is expected that the match will be the best that has been seen in the city this summer. Much interest Is being manifested in the match. It is believed a large number will attend the game. In the semi-finals finished Wednesday evening. Foster won from James Harrington by the scores of 0-4 and 6-3. In the other half of the tournament Campbell won from T. C. Harrington in a hard fought contest. The scores were 0-1, 5-7 and 7-5. T. C. Harrington played Herbert before playing Campbell and won in a fast match. The scores were 0-4, .'5-0 and G-l. In the doubles of the senior tournament last evening Harrington and Campbell defeated Sherman and Herbert by the scores of 7-5 and 7-5. The winners played excellent tennis. They have played together for two years and each time they have won the championship. Their only opponents who are very dangerous are T. C. Harrington and Foster. j The prize for the winner of the singles tournament has been placed on exhibition in the display window of the Haisley shoe store on Main street. The prize is one of the 14 ounce Crescent special rackets and is valued at ?7. The winner of the August tourr.ament will play Campbell the winner of the September tournament, and the winner will receive the racket. COWARD ADAM. The Proneneaa of Man to Lay the Blame Upon Woman. "Never kiss and tell" is, I believe, an "unwritten law of chivalry." This law, so I understand. Coward Adam does sometimes manage to obey, albeit reluctantly. Because he would like to tell he would very much like to tell if if the story of the kiss did not involve himself in the telling! But at this Juncture "the (unwritten laws of chivalry" step in, and he la saved. And chivalry is the tree up which he climbs, chattering to himself the usual formula, "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me," etc. Alas, poor womanl She has heard him saying this ever since she in an unselfish desire to share her food with him gave him the forbidden apple. No doubt she offered him its rosiest and ripest side! She al ways does at first. Not afterward! As soon as he turns traitor and runs up a tree she takes to pelting him, metaphorically speaking, with cocoanuts. This Is quite natural on her part She had thought him a man and when he suddenly changes Into a monkey she doesn't understand It. To this cause may possibly be attributed some of the ructions which occasionally jar the harmonious estate of matrimony. From Marie Corelli's "Free Opinions? The Battle of a Wcel . The battle of a week was the great conflict at Tours, in which Charles Martel overthrew the Saracens, A. D. 732. The members of the Saracen army are variously estimated at from 400,000 to 700.000, and the monkish historians say that 375,000 were killed on the field. It is suspected that these figures are a gross exaggeration, but it is certain that few battles of history have been either so bloody or so decisive. Elephant In I'samda. "Elephants in Uganda have a peculiar aspect that I have not noticed elsewhere," writes a traveler. "They cover their bodies, as a protection against flies, with the bright red volcanic dust contained In the soil. This gives them a remarkable appearance, as. instead of being a slaty gray, as in the Nile valley, their color, when thus covered with dust, resembles that of a chestnut horse." An Idle Fhraae. There is one sentence in the English language that has an easy time, and there is no prospect of its ever being overworked. It is composed of these four wcrds. "It was my fault" Jewell City (Kan.)

IS AGAIN POSTPONED

L Judge Fox However States That Hunt Case Will Be Tried This Time. IS ACCUSED OF LARCENY. 1 "I am going to call that case then and will have the jury here ready to try it," remarked Judge Fox of the Wayne circuit court this morning after he had continued the case of the State vs. Alva Hunt, from September 7 to the following day. The change was made necessary because September 7 is labor day, a legal holiday in this state. The Hunt case has been postponed and continued with such regularity it was with a sigh of relief that court room attaches and attorneys heard tne announcement of the judge's determination. Hunt is accused of larceny. The case of the State vs. Dr. J. M. Bulla will not be heard until ater the October term begins. It has feen set early in the term, so that it can be disposed of as promptly as possible. The date chosen is October 12th. Dr. Bulla Is charged with performing a criminal operation on Mrs. Eva Sullivan. The late Adolph Uhley was made an accessory in this case. He claimed the charges against him were false and committed suicide at his rooming house on North Seventh street. GORGEOUS ATTIRE. Dreas of n. Liverpool Merchant In the Eighteenth Century. The Liverpool merchant iu the latter half of the eighteenth century must have presented a by no means uupleasIng appearance. He dressed, as a rule, we are informed, iu a suit of one color, usually lig'.it or of a snuily shade. The cut of his ordinary coat resembled that of a court dress coat, with standup collar and g',t. silvered, twist or basket buttons. His waistcoat was very long, with largo "Haps," containing flapped pockets, these ofteu decorated with buttons. His breeches, being short, were ornamented at the knees with buckles of gold, silver or stone, kept In countenance by large gold, silver or gilt buckles on his shoes, his legs being hosed, as a rule, in silk, plain, striped or ribbed. Ruffles at his wrist and a white stock about his throat were an almost invariable accompaniment, and on his head a cocked hat, pointed in front and higher at the back than the sides, over hair dressed Into large "cannon" curls on each side of his face, with a cue hanging behind, or it might be over a "tie," "cauliflower" or "brown bob" wig. Thus, with stick or umbrella, rendered remarkable by reason of its head of gold, silver, amber or ebony, would he wend his way to "town." In "full dress" he must have even more attractively looked the merchant "prince" in his waistcoat of silk, satin or velvet rich in color and design, with long flaps elaborately embroidered, silk breeches and silk hose, with conspicuous knee and shoe buckles. If he on occasion dined with the mayor he might receive an engraved invitation card similar to the following, directed to Mr. I.eece in 177C: "Mr. Mayor presents his compliments to Mr. Leece, begs the favor of his company on Sunday next to dinner, at 1 o'clock, at the Exchange. An answer is desired. 12th July, '70." BUNDLE BEARERS. A Role That CtT 3fen Are Hot Now Inclined to Play. There was a time, remembered easily by many, when the tender husband did not shrink from carrying home materials for his dinner. Men of learning in those simpler days grasped the eel of commerce, as the eel of science, by the tail. The statesman with Jovian brow and blue coat with brass buttons was very human with a dried codfish wrapped carelessly in brown paper under his eloquent arm. To see a highly respectable citizen with a demijohn was a cheering sight. Nor was it beneath the dignity of a painful preacher of the word of God to carry a pair of trousers to the tailor when the rent was beyond the skill of domestic ingenuity. The present civilization may be real or chromo; this at least is certain the age of carrying bundles is gone 60 far as city men are concerned, although no Burke has celebrated in sonorous prose its passing. The man protests against the burden of a can of peas, a Jar of marmalade, his wife's bank book. The youth insists that the two or three collars bought to bridge him over the weekly coming of the laundryman shall be sent home. The schoolboy, however his mother may coax or threaten, sulks at the thought of a bundle, for he fears the ridicule of snobbishly trained companions. The bundle is avoided, not respected, as it was by the great Napoleon. Democratic simplicity is foimd only in tradition and In De Tocquevllle's book. It is not surprising that the bundle should be spurned; that a fashionable mother may not be able to support the weight of her own baby in the street. Boston Herald. A Raft of Cocoanuta. A curious picture in the Far Eastern Review, Manila, shows several cocoanut rafts in a still lagoon, apparently ready to go to market. The cocoanuts are much lighter than water. They are simply thrown in by the thousand and then roped together by long strands of bark fiber into circular groups about twenty feet across, all the cocoanuts lying side by side. A single native boat can tow a number of these odd rafts down a sluggish stream where no road could be found for ordinary transIt to a steamer wharf. Cocoanuts thus rafted will bear quite a bit of wind and rough water without beiua scattered. Infants and children at constantly needing ativa. It is tmportaat to know what to gtra them.

NATURE'S LITTLE SHIP. A Curious Jellyfish Endowed With a Movable 8il. While man makes the largest ocean ressels, nature makes the smallest This is a species of Jellyfish, found only In tropical seas, which has a sail. The part of the fish under the water looks like a mass of tangled threads, while the sail is a tough membrane, shaped like a shell and measuring quite five Inches and sometimes more across. The fish can raise or lower this sail at will. Wise sailors let this curiosity of nature alone, for each - of the threads composing its body has the power of stinging, the results of which are very painful and often dangerous. Thll power defends it from porpoises, albatrosses and other natural enemies. It has no other means of locomotion than its sail, and when seen skimming bravely along the surface of the water it looks more like a child's toy boat than a living creature out in search of food. London Saturday Review. SIMPLE LIFE IS PREACHED BY "GYPSY SMITH" (Continued From Page One) "Gypsy Smith's Life" and "As Jesus Passed by." Quite a number of people have purchased these books at the grounds. Mission Still Unknown. . Mr. Inui has been here and the "Mission of New Japan" is still as much of a mystery as before. He spoke to a large crowd at the' Chautauqua grounds yesterday afternoon. He made one good point and told some would-be funny stories. The one point he made not entirely new however was that the East and the West do not understand each other. As Individuals they do not understand each others customs and manners. As nations they mistake motives. All this Mr. Inui accomplished in the short space of one hour. His funny stories well they were not very funny when he told them and they surely would be stale reading if repeated. Mr. Inui left this morning for Danville. 111., where he addresses the Chautauqua tonight. The Hrubey brothers instrumental quintet appeared yesterday afternoon and last night. They are entertainers, a feature in which the Chautauqua has been particularly fortunate this year. They play on almost "any old kind" of a musical instrument and they do it'welL Sometimes it is a solo, sometimes a duet, once in a while a trio, and sometimes quartets and quintets. The Hrubey brothers are accompanied by Miss 'Gertrude Canfield, a reader of good ability. In the afternoon Miss Alice May Von Pein- of Chicago gave a very Interesting reading. Miss Von Pein is new to the Chautauqua platform though she has appeared repeatedly before the women's clubs in Chicago. Her readings were "What William Henry Did Next" and "In May." Both were well received. Her Toice is suit ed to the platform for it Is musical in quality and can easily be heard. She had excellent self possession and was free from mannerism. Her selections of yesterday pleased so much it is probable she will be given another

place on the program before the Chautauqua is ended. Wallace Bruce Amsbury is back. Last night his reading included "Education," "Strawberry Time." "Since Pa Got into Politics," "The Papa Hen" and "Tim Flanigan's Mistake." Amsbury is an artist. His readings are always applauded. Want British Protection. These days every one who passes the dark-skinned, black-haired gentleman, on the grounds want to know his Identity. He is Mr. Ilahi-Baksh a native of Bombay, India. Mr. Baksh came here from Attica where he made a great hit at the Chautauqua. He is resting for a few days and will speak tomorrow night at 8 ocl6ck and Sunday at 2 p.m. He has changed the order of his lectures from that announced in the program. Saturday night he will speak on the "People of India." Sunday afternoon his subject will be "The Women of India." He will dress in native costume. His turban is nine yards long. He will show the customs of the East and the influences of Western civilization. He will also tell how long It will be before the people of India are ready for self government. "Self government in internal affairs is the dream of India" said Mr. Baksh to a Palladium reporter today. "England runs everything In our country now. We do not want to be free from British suzrenity because we desire the protection of the British navy. We would rather pay for that protection than build a navy of our own. But we do want to say how we shall run our Internal affairs." Mr. Baksh has studied three years in the law school at Bloomington, III. He will not receive his degree next year however as he has to stay on the

Mr. Shaw has beep looking forward to this as the banner number and expects to have the largest crowd ever gathered under a chautauqua tent in Richmond. Powers will tell the thrilling story of his life, his long imprisonment, and his liberation. He was once condemned to die, and twice to imprisonment for life. He laughingly tells that he made only one speech during all his trials and then the Jury condemned him to die. Powers still looks frail. He Is as j long and thin as a Kentucky sapling anyway and his emaciated condition makes him look still taller. His manner is quiet and reserved. He la a man of excellent education. He attended West Point two years and then decided that he would rather be a man of peace. He graduated In law at Valparaiso and did post-graduate work at the University of Kentucky. He was a school man once, having been twice superintendent of schools in his home county. At Valparaiso he met his future wife. She had died a few years previous to the time his troubles began in Kentucky. His mother Is still living add dependent upon him.
