the coming special session. He ar

gues that the issue is now -being fought out In the campaign and that there is no reason for legislative action. He is willing that the republicans shall go ahead and pass such a measure, but he advises against giving any help from the democratic side. Boost Richmond don't knock. CITY MINISTERS APPROVE PUNS (Continued From Page One.) enactment. Republican party leaders declare, would aid the candidacy of James E. Watson. This means that indirectly the zeal of the ministers in the Interest of the anti-saloon crusade will lead them to support the issues upon which Watson is basing his greatest chances for election. If the republican . party in its extra session takes action favorable to the bill, it is argued this will lend prestige for its campaign arguments in favor of the platform. A number of these letters have been sent to local ministers. They have given them consideration and for the most part reflect the same sentiment as included in the epistles. They are unhesitating in their declarations that a minister has the perfect right to take what part he may choose in the political arena. Letter of Shumaker. The letter of Mr. Shumaker In part follows: "Dear Brother The governor of tht state has summoned the legislature to meet in special session on the 18th. of this month. Among the measures to be considered will be our county local option bill. Thus the crisis which we had expected last January is upon us now. "Now this personal and special appeal to our brethren in the ministry. At least forty-seven varieties of breweries, besides distillers, saloon keepers and the so-called 'personal liberty" people wil 1 be represented immediately in our state capltol. They will seek to intimidate, bluff, corrupt and prevent the legislature from passing a bill which will enable people by counties to rule on the liquor question. They are spending, so it is stated, about a million dollars to defeat such a measure. Such a law will be a death blow to the brewers. This is a pivotal state. If we lose the battle the tide may turn backward all over the nation. Now is the time to make this a ncu-partisan movement. : Responsibility on Ministry. "Upon the Christian ministry of Indiana must rest the responsibility of so crystallizing and directing public sentiment that tt will compel the passage of this bill. "Permit us to make the following suggestion upon which you will kindly act at once: (1) Preach a sermon, making it full of fervid appeal, upon this question. The two tracts inclosed will furnish suggestive material. (2) Either seo in person or telephone or write to your senator (or senators) and representative (or representatives) urging upon them in humanity's name to support this measure. (3) Get representative citizens by the score to do the same thing. In the end it will all depend upon your ability to get the people to bring the right kind of pressv.re and to keep it up until the bill passes. (4) Later follow up with hundreds of telegrams. . "This appeal will reach many ministers just ready to move or to attend their conference. May we urge that you do not fail us. "This Is the greatest cilslo since the days of the civil war. Even though you are sure your legislators are all right, remember It will strengthen them If you and all good citizens will let "them know that you stand by them." Has ,Fear of Misquotation. Among the ministers of the city who were interviewed was Rev. Thomas J. Graham, of the First Presbyterian church. Rev. Mr. Graham is recognized as an adherent to democratic principles. He holds that Mr. Marshall has been misquoted. He said; "I did not think Marshall was that kind of a man. I beliova he has been misquoted and thc.t he never made such an injudicious attack on the clergy. I don't think the ministers of the gospel should play with politics in the church, but I believe when a question that is as vital to the whole people as local county option, I think that the ministers heve a right to take a hand and so do all in their power to secure its legislation." Says Marshall Is Hit. The Rev. R. J. Wade who has also been one of the local leaders in the crusade against the liquor traffic, stated: "The attack mado by Marshall on the clergy shows that ho has been hit. Marshall's remarks should show the doubtful minister tho stand he should take in the present campaign. The ministers are nearly all united on this question as this is one of tie great moral Issues of the present campaign." Sees Reign of People. he Rev. Huber was one of the starters of the movement ia Richmond and he said this morning, "All Richmond ministers are on the side of local county option. It is the fair thing for the people Just as the casting of votes to decide great questions. The saloons have had their reign, now let the people have theirs."

Ordinary tumblers will hold water because the globules of water are too big to squeeze through the glass. But glass is as full of holes as a sponge, and air blows right through It because the specks of air are smaller than the holes. Put a bell into a big globe of glass, seal up tlie vessel, pump out all the air, then ring the bell inside, and you hear nothing. There. is not air enough In the globe to carry a sound. But lay the globe aside for a month or so, and, no matter how carefully you have scaled up the neck, you will find that you then can hear the bell when you ring it Air has got into that globe. Enough anyway to carry a sound has leaked in through the substance of the glass. The ordinary Incandescent lamp Is a glass globe with the air pumped out, and after a few months sufficient air leaks through to dim the light which comes from the thread of electrified charcoal Inside. We can make plenty of vessels to hold water, but nothing has been made which will hold air without any leakage. The air sneaks in through holes which are too small for the human mind to Imagine. In fact, everything leaks. London Answers. THE END OF THE WORLD. A Theory That It Will Come by Fire Caused by Friction. As to the length of time the earth Is likely to last, the calculations are that It will not cease to be active for a good many millions of years, such activity not, however, necessarily supposing that life as we know it now will always be possible, the eventuality of a universal ice age being always a contingency that may occur again In the history of the globe. It Is interesting to note that la this connection a Swedish mystic called Stromberg has declared that the world would never know another ice age, but tnat it was now running out its course to the end. Its existence, he declared, would endure as long as fire burned in the earth's bowels that is, until the whole mass shall have become solidified. The Internal fires, he said, provided the link which maintained the earth In the sun's sphere of attraction. When this attraction shall fail, the earth, according to the Swede, will cease to revolve and will fall away, only to disappear by fire caused by friction, thus verifying the Biblical prophecy. As, however, the process of cooling down entirely will take some billions of years, the nervous person will note that there is really no immediate cause for alarm.' Xew York World. Pepsin, Saliva and Gastrio Juice. Tepsin, the principal agnt in the digestion of food. Is a powerful solvent stored up In the walls of the stomach and only poured forth when Its assistance is needed. When pure, this flukl Is perfectly neutral, neither acid nor alkaline, and appears to be unable to exert any action without the presence of an acid. Such acid is supplied in the gastric juice, secreted by the gastric follicles covering the coating of the stomach. The saliva is merely for the purpose of moistening the food, thus preparing it for the action of the pepsin and gastric fluids. X " American.

Affairs of the

There are yet four games to be played by American Association teams. Indianapolis appeals to have the pennant cinched. If in the series with Louisville the Browns can win two of the four games they will win out by a neck. Louisville is sure of second place. Columbus appears to have third and Toledo will probably finish a close fourth. There will probably be quite a delegation of Richmond fans journey to Cincinnati Sunday to see the Reds and Pittsburg play. Incidentally they will look over the new Red recruits. Never was a minor league leant blessed with a better pitching staff than the one Indianapolis had this season. In Marquard, Slagle, Durham, Seiver and Druhot the Browns nad an invincible quintette. Catcher James, the home run hitting Columbus youngster, has been drafted by the Boston Americans. He is a hard hitter but not a fancy backstop. A MICROSCOPE. How It Opens Up the Wonders of the World of Nature. If you want to keep your boy out of mischief, give him a microscope, not one of the elaborate, intricate, expensive affairs that the bacteriologists use when hunting for germs, but a common one with two or three lenses that revolve on a pivot and fold into a cover which protects them from InJury when carried in the pocket. There is no better way of interesting the boy in the wonders of the natural world than this simple contrivance, which opens to his eyes visions of a universe of which he knew nothing. Seen through the microscope, the most Insignificant flower becomes a thing of wonderful beauty. The interior of a nasturtium is a fairy cavern, showing a dozen different tints and hues of color, with dainty white stalactites aud stalagmites almost touching each other midway between floor and roof. He will find monsters, too, for the head of au ant seen through a microscope Is a terrible object, and he cannot help thinking whnt an awful aspect such a creature would present if It were as big as a horse. He has heard about the creatures that are to be found in water from a stagnant pool. He vill find them for himself and show them to other boys, and all his crowd will become interested and bring in things to look at and wonder about He may not develop into a Darwin, but if he has any faculty of observation at all it will be sharpened by what he sees, and he will learn that there is more in nature than what we discern on the surface. St Louis Globe-Democrat. SILENT CRANES. A Nature Story by One of the Mount Taurus Climbers. The mountaineer glanced complacently at his hard calves. "We climbers,", he said, up there on the white heights see lots of things worth seeing. I tell you we could if we wanted to outdo the nature fakirs without deviating from the truth. For Instance, take the Mount Taurus cranes. Do you know the cranes of Mount Taurus? "Well, these birds are great chatterers. They chatter, chatter, chatter, as they fly. Hanged if they're not worse than women! Up on the heights the eagles lie in wait for them, hidden behind crags or ice blocks. They don't have to show themselves at all. Their ears, not their eyes, tell them of the cranes' approach, and, swooping down on those bundles of feathers and notse, they take home a mess of crane for dinner. "With their chatter and babble and gossip the cranes of Mount Taurus give themselves away in that still air to the eagles, and in all eagle households orane Is the staple dish. "But the old cranes fly without a sound never a word out of them as they sail and wheel in the blue air. That seems against nature, and it is against nature. The old cranes to restrain their innate love of talk fly -with large stones in their mouths. "Shoot one of these crafty and silent birds and you will find his beak tightly closed upon a large stone." Exchange. His Plan Was Simple. Frederick the Great once requested his generals to submit to him plans of campaign for a supposititious case. Hans Joachim von Zietben, the famous cavalry general, produced a queer diagram in black ink. It represented a big blot In the center, intersected by two black lines, whose four terminals ended each in a smaller blot. The king was furious and upbraided his old comrade In arms bitterly for what he considered disrespect. In explanation Yon Ziethen said: "Why, your majesty, I am the large blot in the center. The enemy is any one of the four smaller blots. lie can march upon me from the right or left, from the front or rear. If he does I simply advance upon any of the four lines and lick him where I find him." Frederick was satisfied. Statistics. In all probability the first administrative act of the first regular government was to number its fighting men and to ascertain as nearly as was possible what amount of ta rati on could be levied on the rest of the community. As human society, grew more highly organized there can be no doubt that a very considerable body of official statistics must have come Into existence. We know that Buch was the case in Greece. Rome and Egypt, but It was not until within the last two or three centuries that systematic use of the information available began for purposes of investigation rather than mere administration. Xew York American. Businesslike England. The English are not a revengeful people. They forget everything after a fight in their eagerness to trade with their late enemy. It Is not so much the pplrit of forgiverC53 of sins which prompts them as tbe spirit of pushing trade. That Is tta central Impulse in their .Jielng. Dublin Irish Homestead.

Sporting World

Of the last thirteen games Maddox, the Pittsburg pitcher has worked in, he lias won twelve. This is a record any twirler might well be proud of. Durham, the sensational Indianapolis pitcher, has the unique record of participating in five double-headers and winning all ten of the games. Indianapolis fans worship him. Here is a sample of a pin head player. Sullivan of Kansas City was purchased by Pittsburg. He turned down a Pirate contract for $350 per month and to puniK'i him Clark turned him back to Kansas City, where next season he will work for about half the salary Pittsburg offered him. While Chicago is fighting against hard clubs the New York Giants are makirtg daily meals of the Brooklyns and Bostons. At that the Giants have no cinch on the pennant. The Central league race is over and the Evansville Rats are the champions. Evansville had the best team in its history this year. HEAT AND TANNED SKINS. Tate Miracle Tbat Natnr Perform a When Sanborn Oceara. There are certain arctic animals, dark coated in the short summer, that In winter turn pure white, thus matching the suow covered landscape and escaping notice and harm. This change of color, this protection, effected" no one knows how, is wonderful, as wonderful as a miracle, and yet a kindred change of color, a kindred protection, happens among mankind every summer, and nobody ever notices it. When the pale city people go out In the summer sun at the seashore or the mountains the light attacks them fiercely, first reddening their skin, then swelling, blistering aud scorching it If they kept in the sun enough, and if no miracle occurred, the light would kill them finally, burning off the skin flrst and afterward attacking the raw flesh. But a miracle does occur. The skin changes from a pale color to a tan and on this tan the sun has no effect. The sun may beat on tan colored skin for days and weeks, but such skin remains always sound, unblistered, whole. Thus nature works a miracle. The white skin Is suffering, and nature, aware, somehow, that a tan skin Is sun proof, changes to tan the white. How does she do this? Where did she learn that it was wise to do this? No one knows. Only the fact of the miracle remains. To prove this miracle to prove that it is not the hardening of the skin, but the change in Its color which protects it from sunburn is an easy mattor. Let a pale person, unused to the sun, stain one side of his face yellow, and, leaving the other side untouched, go out in the bright summer sun for a couple of hours. The one side of his face Is no tougher, no more hardened than the other, yet tbe unstained aide will be inflamed, blistered, while the tan colored one will be quite cool and unhurt. Sunburn la a miracle, a protection to mankind as Inexplicable and as wonderful as the miracle of the arctic animals' change In the winter from dark coats to snow white ones. New York Herald. MAKE YOURSELF. KNOWN. A Little Story That Showe the Value of Acquaintances. How professional men make acquaintances can be illustrated by the story of two men whom I know. One of them, a dentist, had a practical father, who taught him how good an Investment good clothes and many friends might be. This doctor lived for many years at leading hotels and at evening mingled socially with the guests. There was never a pleasanter man than be at these leisure times, nor a man of better appearance, although during the early years he was constantly in debt to his father, and in all this social life he never mentioned his profession or his work unless such personal talk came naturally into the conversation. Each year he went to Europe and dined at the captain's table, always in immaculate evening clothes. Sometimes he went and returned by the same ship, for there was little to gain by staying abroad. Everybody liked bim, and today he has an immense practice, a considerable proportion ,of which he admits frankly can be traced to his steamship acquaintance. One day a year ago he met a lawyer of about his own age and degree of success at their club. "I'm going abroad Saturday," said the lawyer. "Come along," he added, half In Jest. The doctor hesitated for a moment in thought. "All right," he said. "What boat?" The lawyer told him and then asked with some surprise how he could manage to be away on such short notice, and if he had intend ed to take his vacation at that time. "I've been over eighteen times," said the doctor, with a genial smile, "and for the same reason that you have gone and are going. We'll work the boat together, you and I." Arthur Goodrich in Leslie's Monthly Magazine. The First Anthracite Coal. When the first two tons of anthracite coal were taken Into Philadelphia, in 1S03, tbe good people of that city, so the records state, "tried to burn the stuff, but at length, disgusted, they broke it up and made a walk of it." Fourteen years later Colonel George Shoemaker sold eight or ten wagon loads of it in the same city, but warrants were soon Issued for his arrest for taking money under false pretenses. In Siberia travelers"oftencarry soups in sacks. The soups are frozen solid and keep for an indefinite time. Milk also is frozen and sold by the pound.

(By Special Correspondent) Indianapolis, Sept. 11. The county option bill as it will reach the goveinors hands provides for special elections on the petition of ten per cent of the voters of any county. Tmee years are to intervene between such elections. A CEYLON PLAGUE. The Land Leeches Are Worse Than the Snakes or Mosquitoes. It Is nearly always the case that exceedingly beautiful countries are overrun by different kinds of pests. Beautiful Ceylon has mosquitoes said to be the most adroit and audacious in the world and snakes and a thousand more plagues of poor human beings, but tbe worst of them all is a species of leech. The Ceylon land leech is a thin creature about two inches long and very nimble and flexible. It will crawl up a man's leg and, traveling underneath the clothing, will climb as high as the throat. These leeches do not crawl like the leeches that are known to medicine, but rear themselves up on their tails to watch for prey and walk off to attack it with amazing rapidity. In walking through the jungle hosts of them may be seen by the roadside, where they wait to victimize cattle. Horses, it is said, are driven half wild by them, as also are palanquin bearers and coolies, whose bare legs are their favorite resort, the men's bands being too engaged to pull them off. The leeches may be seen hanging round their ankles, from which tiny trickles of blood run over the foot London Standard. Paid Up. A year or two ago the son of a prominent banker of Iowa undertook, with all the brashness and confidence ,of youth, the launching of a new morning paper in a town already well supplied with newspapers. It was understood by his friends that the young man had. In fact, started his enterprise on "a shoestring" a. few hundred dollars advanced by his father. So It was with much facetiousness that the youthful proprietor and editor was approached from day to day by the aforesaid friends. "So you call yourself an editor!" exclaimed one of them, with affected contempt "Of course 1 do," returned the brash young owner. "I'm the whole thing on this paper. And I don't owe a cent therefor." "Everybody knows," continued his tormentor, "that you got $200 from your father to start the thing." "Sure!" said the proprietor and editor. "Furthermore, tlie old man's subscription for the Beacon is marked paid a hundred years ahead on my books r Long Flights of Birds. Birds of passage make their longest flight somewhere near Bering strait A naturalist says that probably the longest continuous flight made by the feathered travelers in their peregrinations Is accomplished by some of the shore and water birds that nest in tbe islands of Bering sea and spend the winter at Hawaii and Fanning island, 2.200 miles away. As some of the birds live entirely on the shore and are probably unable to rest on the surface of the water, they must accomplish the whole distance in a single flight, yet they make their way to their destination with absolute precision.

For each two tablespoonfuls allow one of creamed butter, rubbing them together till perfectly smooth. Spread evenly on the wafers and set them in a moderate oven to glaze the cheese.
