SITUATION CAREFULLY STUDIED BEFORE FINAL CONFLICT, PLANNED FOR NEXT SPRING, BEGIN8.
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 2 The Rev.
f. S. Bhumaker, superintendent of the
! Anti-saloon League, which will have
general charge throughout the state
of the work of eradicating saloons un
dsr the authority conferred by the county local option law, has outlined the plana of the league in regard to
the enforcement of the county local option. law, as far as determined.
! "Our first move," said he, "will be to petition for elections in a number
i of counties simultaneously. The pur-
J pose of bringing a number o elections I at the same time is to make It difficult, K pot Impossible, for the brewery and stioon interests to colonize voters and
carry the elections by tricky methods, . aucn as might be possible if they were
we to concentrate their efforts in a
single county. The first elections will
j be In. counties where there is a proI Bounced sentiment against the saloon
! traffic." ttie new county local option law will
i not become effective for about thirty J days. It will not be published before that time, according to attaches at the office of the secretary of state and the
State Printing Board. The former office has charge of the compilation of the laws for publication and the latter
has charge of the publication. The
j copy Is already in. the hands of the
j state printer. j . League Not to Make Haste.
) "We shall not be in a hurry," he
said. "Our plan will be to wait until
(he November elections are out of the
way and partisanship has had time to
subside. My present impression is that the fight to wipe out saloons by elec
tions with the county as the unit will l not begin in a general way until next i spring. It will be our purpose to consult with the temperance workers in , counties that contemplate local option 'and to advise with them as to the timeliness of bringing on the campaign." Mr. Shumaker officially estimated that at least forty-five counties will go
"dry" during the next two years as a
result of campaigns to be brought un ; der county local option.
Prank I. Grubbs, deputy secretary of
state, said yesterday that the law
-would be published probably during
the last week of the present month. All other laws passed at the special
(session will be published at that time
also.
A COMMON ERROR.
srreot the 8entence Before You Read the Explanation. a "May I examine the children a little
I. to their knowledge of the lanfBage?" asked the visitor at the grammar school, an old gentleman with a QSTolent aspect of countenance, but &ewd twinkle In his eye.
"qsnalnly you may," smilingly anfttritred the teacher. ' tfhs old gentleman stepped to the blackboard end wrote this sentence pon It: i "peensylTanlft abounds In anthracite
"Wow," he said, "1 should like to
.tare some child point out the mistake ! tn that sentence." Ooe of the older girls came forward, picked up the chalk and rewrote the statement thus: "Anthracite coal abounds in Pennrsytvarrta." t "Mot so bad," said the visitor, 'but . fen haven't found it." I Another changed It as follows:
etta coal" "Still Incorrect,' was the comment. "Anthracite coal Is abundant In Pennsylvania," wrote a third. "That wOl not do either," said Mr. Baxter. One of the big boys tried his hand, with this result: "Pennsylvania is abundantly supplied with anthracite coaL" "Wo; that Is not so good." . Then a little boy stepped forward and with his finger erased the word "That word Isn't needed," he said. " 'Anthracite' means hard coal." "Right," said the visitor. "Yon have one bright jnp. anyhow, Miss Adair." .-Youth's Companion.

REFUSES TO STATE FOR WHAT PURPOSE AERIAL CRAFT WILL BE USED SAYING THAT IS HIS SECRET.
Paris, Oct. 2 Lazare Weiller, who announced that he had ordered the construction of fifty aeroplanes on the wright model, reiterated that statement today. He said that he had made an arrangement with Wilbur Wright whereby aeroplanes would be constructed from the Wright patents, and that an order had actually been placed with a French firm, the name of which, however,, he declined to divulge. He declined also to disclose the exact purpose of the building of a fleet of aeroplanes, saying, "That is my secret." From what Weiller said in an interview it is evident he believes that the aeroplane is destined to have a greater mission on sea than on land warfare. He declared enthusiastically that no navy would dare to approach a port defended by a flotilla of aeroplanes capable of dropping explosives from the air. Mr. Weiller added that while the conditions of the contract between him, as the head of a syndicate, and Mr. Wright have not yet been fulfilled, he was already completely satisfied that the Wrights would be able to meet the conditions, which require the inventor to make two flights of 50 kilometers each, with a passenger or equal weight and sufficient gasoline to allow a flight of 200 kilometers. But Mr.' Wright has refused to consider the contract as made until he has complied with the letter of the conditions. Bart O. Berg, the European business manager for the Wright brothers, also confirmed the report of the deal with Lazare Weiller.
A GRIM CEREMONY. An Emperor's Death Hastened by Rehearsing His Own Funeral. Emperor Charles V. of Spain brought about his death by rehearsing his own funeral. For the last two years of his life, after resigning the scepter of Spain and the Netherlands to his son Philip in 1556, Charles retired to the monastery of Yuste, in Estremadura, and there lived a cloister life In close Intercourse with the monks, devoting much time to religious exercises. During this period, prompted, it may be, by the example of Cardinal de la Marck, who for several years before his death, In 1528, had annually rehearsed his own obsequies, the emperor, in the summer of 1558, formed the resolution to celebrate his own funeral before he died. Accordingly, on Aug. 30 of that year, the grim farce was carried out with the most elaborate ceremonial. The Imperial domestics marched with black tapes In their hands, and the emperor, clad In sable weeds, himself followed, wearing his shroud. While the solemn mass for the dead was sung before the high altar In the cathedral Charles gave up his taper to the priest typifying thereby his resignation of life, and was solemnly laid his coffin. The ceremony closed with sprinkling holy water on his body; then, all the attendants retiring, the doors were shut, and Charles rose from his narrow bed and (withdrew to his private apartment. The damping of the graveclothes Induced a chill, which, aided no doubt by the mental depression caused by the grewsome ceremony, Induced a fever iwhlch ended in his death three weeks later, on the 21st of September, 1558.
Wedding Rings. Some one wanted to know without
iasklng directly how long a certain woman had been married. "About fifteen years," said a man (who Is a Jeweler." "How do you know?" asked his wife. 'Ton don't know anything about her. (You never met her until tonight" "I can tell by the size of her wedding ring." said the man. "The width of wedding rings changes about every five years. Their size repeats itself at certain periods, but figuring that way, the woman must have been married fourteen years ago, If not fifteen. She isn't old enough for forty-five; consequent she must belong in the fifteen year class." Subsequent inquiry proved that the Jeweler was right New York Sun. With the Minstrels. "Mlstah Walkah, wot am de diffunce 'tween a trav'ler startln' to Tangier an' a plate o' veal hash?" "I give that one up, George. What Is the difference between, a traveler starting for Tangier and a plate of Teal hash?" ' "De one am Morocco bound, an de uddah am half calf." "Ladies and gentlemen, the eelebrat ed vocalist.

SAID ROOSEVELT, JR. First Day of Work Nets Tired Body and 831 Cents.
Thompsonville, Conn., Oct. 3. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., became a wage earner yesterday. He toiled ten hours and a half in the works of the Hartford Carpet company here. "Woolsorter" was his position, the lowest, hardest, most poorly paid and most disagreeable work about the mill. He earned exactly 3 1-3 cents. "Tired? Yes, I am," he admitted as he passed out of the gate last night when the whistle blew at 6:15. "It caught me In the back." That's what all new woolsorters say. The president's son reached the city last evening and went for dinner to the home of Alvin H. Hlggins, general manager of the company, but he will live in a small dwelling adjoining the Hlggins home, where a married couple will act as housekeepers. The only diversion he will have will be in the Enfield Country club and the Calumet club, which are patronized by the not numerous wealthy citizens of the township. He is to be put up at both.

A Chining Mark. A lady, grievously tormented with a corn on her toe, was advised by one of her friends to anoint it with phosphorus, which In a weak moment she did. but forgot to tell her husband before retiring at night It had just turned 12 when the husband awoke and was startled to see something sparkling at the foot of the bed. He had never heard of a firefly in the locality, nor did he ever remember seeing such a terrible looking object as the toe presented. Reaching carefully out of bed till he found one of his slippers, he raised It high in the air and brought It down with great force upon the mysterious light. A shriek and an avalanche of bedclothes, and all was over. When at last he released himself from the bedclothes he discovered his wife groaning In a corner of the bedroom, but she had got rid of that phosphorated corn. London Graphic.
Few Thin People Have "Doubles." "I have been told," said the thin woman, "that there is a woman over In Brooklyn who looks just exactly like me." "It there Is, It is an unusual case of a double," said a photographer. "Thin people rery seldom hare doubles. In my business I meet many pairs of people who look alike. In every case the most extraordinary resemblances are between persons who are stout Scientifically I cannot explain the likelihood of heavyweights possessing the same chin, nose, eyes and expression. Maybe it Is because the flesh fills up all angles and hollows and destroys Individuality of outline." New York Bun.
