TRIBUTE PLANNED V " TO EMANCIPATOR

Negroes of Country to Observe Emancipation Day Everywhere. A LOCAL CELEBRATION. COLORED PYTHIANS ISSUE INVITATIONS FOR OTHERS TO JOIN THEM IN EXERCISES TO BE HELD AT JACKSON PARK. The colored Uniform Rank. Knights of Pythias, has taken the initiative in plans looking toward the celebration of Emancipation Day among the neg roes of Wayne and surrounding coun ties. The celebration, is to be held In commemoration of the emancipa tion of the negro in 1862 and is gener al throughout the country, although the race has never observed the occa sion in this county. The celebration will be held at Jackson Park Sept 22. A general proclamation has been Issued which has been distributed among the negroes of the entire country and in this proclamation, a tribute is paid to Abraham Lincoln, who was Instrumental in freeing the race from slavery. An earnest appeal is made to the whites to give the colored race hope for better things, It reflects a spirit of thankfulness however for those things that have already been bestowed upon the negro of the United States. The services to be held at Jackson Park will be of a thanksgiving nature and it is probable that hundreds of negroes throughout the surrounding country witf be in attendance.

I don't like the situation at all. If tberepubHcans are worried, I can see no reason why the democrats should feel happy." HUGHES NAMED FOR - GOVERNOR AMIDST GREAT EXCITEMENT (Continued From Pag One.) Laysom came forward to announce the result. "John W. Stewart receives 31, James W. Wadsworth receives 151 Charles E. Hughes receives 827," read the secretary and then It was pande monium. William Bernes, Jr., was standing in his place, flushed and grim. "The gentleman from Albany, Mr, Barnes," said Chairman Root, when order was restored: "I move," said Mr. Barnes in his somewhat pitched voice. "Mr. Chairman, that the nomination of Governor ilughes be made unanimous." . It was a full minute before anything else could be heard or done, and then Frank K. Cook, of Livingston, who had nominated Wadsworth, and Judge J, I Moore, of Montgomery, who had nominated Stewart, second the mo tion of Mr. Barnes. The motion was carried with a deafening shout and "Secretary Root, himself not entirely unmoved for his Toice quavered a bit as he spoke announced: "The unanimous choice of this con vention as it nominee for governor, is Charles E. Hughes, of New York. It was again some moments before tho chairman could control quiet sufficient to permit the further bus! oess of the convention. So far as the Teat majority of the people In the -hall were concerned the rest of the business was routine the work of the day was done. The remainder of the ticket as agreed upon, by the leaders in control of the convention was gen erally known. There was an almost continuous murmur of conversation and shuffling 'of feet, as people left the hall. The other nominations were V-iickly made and at 5:30 p. m. Secretary Root declared the convention Adjourned. OFFICERS ENTERTAINED.

Gov. Chanler was today named for governor by the democrats of New York assembled in state convention in : this city. Chanler's selection was made by acclamation amidst the great est enthusiasm. Although there was some objection registered to him previous to the convention the minds of the delegates as a whole seemed centered upon him when the time for nomination came. Dix was named for lieutenant governor. The reassembling of the convention after adjournment from yesterday was delayed until 11:30 o'clock this morn ing waiting for the committee on con tested seats to report. When it did re port Chairman Farley announced that never had such harmony prevailed and all differences had been eliminated. The Herkimer county contest was withdrawn amidst great cheering. Judge Alton B. Parker was made permanent chairman of the convention and in his address urged harmony among the democrats and stated that all indications pointed toa democratic victory in the state of New York in November. His speech was greeted with cheers. Leaders Sit Together. The first session of the convention, which lasted less than an hour yester day, gave no hint of the friction which has been so freely predicted. Leader Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall and Senator Patrick H. McCarren of Brooklyn sat directly across the aisle from each other, and there were op posing demonstrations by their adher ents when they entered the hall. Former Justice Morgan J. O'Brien, the temporary chairman, in his opening address, declared that he believed victory would attend the democracy this fall, and said he would do all he could to make the campaign harmonious and successful. National Chairman Norman E. Mack announced he was much pleased with the outlook at the democratic state convention. "Viewed from every possible angle, the situation in New York state is satisfactory," he said. "Entire harmony prevails throughout the state, and every one is anxious, to do everything possible for the success of the state and the national tickets."

MARCHING CLUB TO HOLD RALLY

New Regalia Received Taft Club. for The members of the Taft Marching club will have a big rally meeting tomorrow evening at the club rooms in the Masonic temple for the purpose of completing arrangements for the line of march and distributing the paraphernalia that has just been received, consisting of white umbrellas, gray hats and a white sash. In this gay attire the club will march in the form of the letters T-A-F-T and will hold several practices so that it can turn out in full force when Hon. Edger D. Crumpacker comes to this city to de liver the opening campaign speech for the republican party in this city. All the members are urged to attend the meeting tomorrow evening. THE LAW OF FINDING. ,1 Asa! net All Save the Owbm the Kinder'a Title la Perfect. In common law finding Is a qualified source of title to goods and chattels. Briefly, the law Is that the finder has a clear title against all the world, excepting the owner. The proprietor of a coach or a railroad car or a ship has no right to demand property faund on his premises. Such proprietors may make, in regard to lost articles, regulations which will bind their employees, but they cannot bind the public. The law of finding was declared by the king's bench more than a hundred years ago (when it was the supreme court of common law in England) as follows: A person found a wallet containing a eum of money on a shop floor. He handed the wallet and contents to the shopkeeper to be returned to the owner. After three years, during which the owner did not call for his property, the finder demanded of the shopkeeper the wallet and the money. The latter refused to deliver them upon ' the ground that they were found on his premises. The finder then sued the shopkeeper, and it was held, as stated above, that, against all the world save the owner, the tiile of the finder is perfect. The finder has tndoed been held to stand in the place of the owner. Thus A prevailed in an action against B, who found an article which A had originally found, but subsequently lost. The police have no especial rights in regard to articles lost unless these rights are conferred by statute. Receivers of articles found are trustees for the owner or finder. In the absence of special statute they have no power to keep an article against the finder any more than a finder has to retain an article against the owner. A finder must, however, use every reasonable means to discover the owner of found goods before appropriating them to his own use. It has been declared that if the finder knows the owner or knows that he can discover him he is guilty of larceny in keeping or appropriating to himself the articles found. THE OLD SAILING SHIPS. Wlix the Wooden Onea Wr Defter 111 an Thoae Bailt of Iron. The sailing ship when I knew her in the days of her perfection was a sensible creature. When I say her days of perfection I mean perfection of build, gear, seaworthy qualities and ease of handling, not the perfection of speed. That quality reached its highest excellence iu the discovery of hollow lines and departed with the change of building material. None of the Iron ships of yesterday ever attained the marvels of speed which the seamanship of men famous in their time had obtained from their wooden, copper sheeted predecessors. Everything had been done to make the iron ship perfect, but no wit of man had managed to devise an efficient coating composition to keep her bottom clean with the smooth cleanness of yellow metal sheeting. After a spell of a few weeks at sea an iron ship begins to lag as if she had grown tired too soon. "It is only her bottom that is getting foul. A very little affects the speed of a ship that is not driven on by an untiring propeller. Often it is impossible to tell what inconsiderate trifle puts her oft her stride. A certain mysteriousness hangs around the quality of speed as it was displayed by the old sailing ships commanded by competent seamen. In those days the speed was still a matter for the seaman's care. Therefore, apart from the laws, rules and regulations for the good preservation of his cargo, he was careful of his loading, of what Is technically called the trim of his ship. Some ships sailed best on an even keel, others had to be trimmed quite one foot by the stern, and I have heard of a ship that gave her best speed on a wind when so loaded as to float a couple of inches by the head. Joseph Conrad in Harper's Weekly. Fishing- For Sheep. When sheep were first Introduced into Cornwall, England, a flock which had strayed from the uplands on to Gwithian sands were caught there by the tide and ultimately carried Into St Ives bay during the night There the floating flock was observed from the St Ives fishing boats, whose crews, never having seen sheep, took them for some new kind of fish and did their best to secure them both by hooks and lines and by netting. Those they secured they brought home triumphantly next morning as a catch to which even pilchards were as nothing. Patty: Gold Medal Flour U quality very fclgneet Latvia. THE PALACE 45 CENTS

KAISER COULD DICTATE PEACE

Powers Could Be United to This End at German Ruler's Word. CARNEGIE WRITES LETTER. UNION OF GREAT BRITAIN, UNITED STATES, FRANCE AND GERMANY WOULD ACCOMPLISH THE DESIRED END. Berlin. Sept. 16. Andrew Carnegie has written a letter from Skibo castle. Scotland, to Representative Richard Barthodlt of Missouri, president of the American group of the Interparlia meniary union, which convenes on Sept. 17. in which he says: "If I were in Berlin and had a wort" to say my thoughts necessarily woul flow in one direction. I cannot es cape the conclusion that the abolitioi of war among civilized nations as r mode of settling international dla putes is easily accomplished. Kaiser Could Bring Peace. "There will be one man in Berlir while your congress is in session whe has only to speak the word. If the emperor of Germany ever realized his manifest destiny peace would follow. He has It in his power to abolish war among civilized nations. "All he has to do is to ask Great Britain, France, and the United States to unite with him in declaring that since the world has contracted to a 'neighborhood' and Is in constant and instantaneous communication one part with another, the interchange of products between them amounting to thousands of millions a year, the time has passed when any one civilized nation can be permitted to break that peace in which all are so deeply interested. International disputes must be settled by arbitration. POINTED' PARAGRAPHS. How many men work too hard 1 How manv do you know? Every good husband Is henpecked. That's all there is to it Classical music is like some people Tery hard to understand. It Is said that a farmer g eta the beat work out of a farm hand who la aspiring to be his son-in-law. Perhaps one reason why a poor man lives longer than a rich one is that the doctors don't take to much interest in him. When an economical man suffers a ten dollar loss he cuts off expenditures reaching to $50 before he feela right about it. If you have faults the Idea is not to humiliate yourself by acknowledging them to your enemies, but to get over them if possible for your own good. Atchison Globe. Leaping; Treaaon. King William III. of England was passionately fond of the chase and made it a point never to be outdone In any leap, however perilous. A Mr. Cherry, who was devoted to the exiled family, took advantage of this to plan the most pardonable design which was ever formed against a king's life. He regularly joined the royal hounds, put himself foremost and took ' the most desperate lenps In the hope that William might break his neck in following him. One day, however, he accomplished one so Imminently dangerous that the king when he came to the spot shook his head and drew back. It is said that Mr. Cherry at length broke Ills own neck and thereby relieved the king from further hazard. Roaatni'a Jealousy. Rossini was Intolerably jealous of all his musical contemporaries and particularly of Meyerbeer. In 1836 he heard "The Huguenots," and on listening to the performance from the beginning to the end he made up his mind that Meyerbeer bad excelled him and determined to write no more. He lived until 1868, but produced nothing for the lyric stage. His thirty-two years of retirement were spent in the pleasures of a voluptuary. He was particularly fond of good eating and drinking and assembled about him the youngest and gayest society he could attract to his house. A Rftamaalaa Caatoaa. A strange custom is still observed In t Roumanla which reminds one strongly of Robinson Crusoe. When a servant has displeased his or her master the offender takes his boots In his bands and places them before the bedroom door of his master. It Is a sign of great submission, and the boots are either kicked away as an intimation that the fault will not be forgiven or else the servant is told to place them on his feet which shews that he is forgiven.

"Von Menzel." he said, -painted the clearest and most distinct of pictures. Everything with him was worked out to the last hair. Nothing was ever suggested. With suggested, sketchy, impressionistic pictures be had no sympathy. He was called the Melssonler of Germany. "In a discussion of a certain Impressionist's vague, unintelligible work I once heard Von. Menzel say: " "This man Markheim sold to the Countess X. two years ago one of his landscapes. The countess after she had had the landscape a few weeks tired of it and to another artist who dined with her one night she said: " ' "I think the new picture that Herr Markheim sold me lacks animation. It needs life In It Would you be willing to paint for me a man or woman on that road that runs through the middle r ""Why, surely, madam," said the second painter. And he took the picture home with him, made the addition and returned lt the next morning. "'Later, meeting Markheim, he said: i -'-I had the audacity to alter a landscape of yours the other day. It was the landscape you sold the Countess X. She wanted a figure In it and to oblige her I painted an old peasant walking down the road." 'Markheim frowned. "'"The road?" he said. "The road? I don't remember any road In that picture." "'"Oh, yes, there Is a road," said the other. " "I can't recall If said Markheim. " 'Finally, to settle the matter, they went to the house of the countess and stood before the picture. "' "There," said Markhelm's brother artist "there is your road, and there is my old peasant walking down it" ""Fool," Markheim cried, "what have you done? That Is not a road In the center of my work. It is a river." "San Francisco News-Letter. THE GROUND CUCKOO. Remarkable CaaalaaT It Dlaolaya la Catehla Rattlera. One of the most interesting zoological oddities is the California ground cuckoo. He usually Is from twenty to twenty-five inches long, including bis tail, which measures one-half of bis whole length. On account of his small wings he is a poor flier, but what be lacks in aerial dexterity be makes up la pedestrian velocity. With his four yard jumps he can outrun the swiftest race horse. His geographical range is confined to southern California, Mexico and some parts of Texas. As a bird of prey the ground cuckoo outwits bia most avidlous fellow creatures. Snails and large worms constitute his principal food, which be la busy all day in digging out of the ground. But he does not hesitate to attack larger animals. It is so trouble for him to get the better of small snakes, and when domestlcrted ha beats any cat or dog in the extermination of mice and small house pests. Most curiously interesting is the strategic sagacity he displays in the capture of large rattlesnakes. These he dare not meet in fair and open combat As soon as he espies a rattlesnake sleeping In the sun near a cactus hedge he surrounds his victim with a heap of the prickly leaves until he is well hemmed in. He then pricks at the reptile a few times with bis sharp bill, which causes a sudden commotion in the cactus heap. In his attempt to disentangle himself from the leaves he wounds his tender fleh, and It takes but an hour or two for "the average rattler to die of sheer exhaustion and furnish a much coveted tidbit for the sly cuckoo. His method with his prey resembles that of ths cat with the mouse. PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY. TODAY
