At the beginning of the game promise was given for an interesting and close contest, but in the last of the sixth inning two or three costly errors were made on the short line and on third base that seemingly took: from Eaton's team all the earnestness and yim that has always been shown In former contests. From this time until the close of the game Somerville did the "hit and run" stunt and succeeded in pil ing up the tallies. Mrs. Ada Campbell, wife of Earl C. Campbell, died early Sunday morning at her home on North Water street, after a brief illness, due to uremic poisoning.

Rare Addition to the Specimen of Washington, Sept. 4. The mounted specimen of the takin just added to the United States National Museum is regarded as perhaps the rarest species of the animal kingdom now known to science. The first living specimen, a fine young bull of the Bhutan representative of those curious ruminants, is now the center of attraction in the zoo in Regent's Park, London. It is the first living specimen of its kind ever seen in Europe. The name is of Chinese origin, and is pronounced tarkin, and In a scientific sense means ox-gazelle, or oxantelope, in allusion to the bovine form of the horns. Species of this animal became know to naturalists in 1850 by a British resident of Khatamandu, where specimens were brought down from the Mishmi country, a section of northern Assam, absolutely impenetrable to Europeans on account of the hostile character of the natives. With the exception of an occasional pair of horns brought into British territory nothing was known of the takin until the French missionary, Pere David, in northwestern China, sent some skins to Paris in the early seventies. The late J. W. Brooke, who was murdered by the natives of SzeISSUES A CHALLENGE Democratic Candidate Wants To Meet Mayor in Joint Debate. STIRS UP REPUBLICANS Louisville, Ky., Sept. 6. W. O. Head, democratic candidate for mayor, exploded a bomb in the camp of Louisville republicans when he forwarded an official communication to Mayer James F. Giinstead, challenging him to meet him in joint debate. Mr. Head recites the fact that it is due the people to know what they are voting for, and why, and states that these issues may be presented more forcibly to all if joint debates are held. While Mr. Head is a business citizen, who has had few occasions to make public addresses, he is said to be a speaker of unusual force, and local republicans look, askance upon the project of the republican mayor tackling Head In debate. While Mayor Giinstead will make no statement of his acceptance or refusal, it is believed that he will respectfully decline to engage in a clash with the democratic nominee. Mr. Head's letter challenge to the mayor is as follows: "My Dear Sir: In order that the issues of this campaign may be clearly defined before the voters of the city of Louisville, and that the record of your administration, which you are asking the people to indorse, may be properly and Intelligently presented before the public, I request that you meet me in joint debate at such times and such places in this city as may be mutually agreeable. "I suggest that at least one joint debate be held in each ward of the city, beginning as soon as convenient to you. Awaiting the favor of your reply, I have the honor to be very truly yours, W. O. HEAD." An English Stew. The sapper we read of in the "Old Cariosity Shop." provided by the landlord of the JcHv Sandboys for the itinerant shown. may also be quoted as a vindication of British fare. -It's a stew of tripe. said the landlord smacking his lips, "and cow heel." smacking them again, "and bacon.' smacking them once more, "and steak." smacking: thsm for the . fourth time, "and peas, cauliflower, new potatoesand sparrowgrass. all working op to get her in one dellciocs gravy, and it'll be doae to a turn at twenty-two minutes before H."

Museum: the Chinese Takin Chuew in December, 1908, secured several specimens of the Chinese takin. The animal has an interesting history, and there has been much controversy about the growth and shape of its horns in the male and female. It has been suggested that the arctic and American muskox is a near relative, inasmuch as this animal, though restricted to the arctic regions of the western hemisphere, formerly spread over northern Asia. Thus from a geographical point of view there seems to be no reason to dispute the relation between the takin and the muskox. As regards the habits of the takin, it lives at high elevation and associates in herds. From a letter written by the late J. W. Brooke a few weeks before his death the takin ruminates at an elevation of 10,000 feet above sea level, in precipitous mountains clothed with a dense jungle of bamboo. It Is an animal that it is difficult for sportsmen to track. It comes to the lower grounds ( for a brief period, as the snow is rapidly thawed by southerly winds from the plains, and as soon as the thickness of the snowy mantle Is diminished goes back to its alpine home, so the sportsman must be "on the job" to get a shot at a takin. INSTITUTE IS OPEN Eaton, O., Sept. 6. The initial season of the annual institute of the Preble County Teachers' association was opened at 9 o'clock this morning in the Eaton opera house, with a largo number of the county's teachers in at tendance. The meeting will be continued the entire week. Following a musical number, the Rev. Hugh A. Smith, pastor of the Christian church, conducted a fiveminute devotional exercise. Dr. T. S. Lowden, of the Ohio State University, Columbus, was Introduced to the assembly, and delivered a strong lecture on the subject, "Our Instinctive Life and Education." Dr. Lowden i-j a pleasing and fluent talker and delivered an address that was well received. He has appeared before the county teachers on previous occasions and has always satisfied and pleased. Following a short Intermission, Dr. C. C. Ellis, of Uanita College, Huntington, Pa., lectured on "Our Problem." His talk was highly interesting and entertaining and was of such a nature as to evoke the approval of the attendance. His talk closed the morning session, and adjournment was taken until 1:30 o'clock. I The afternoon session was opened with a selection of music, which was followed by an address on "Longfellow," by Dr. Ellis. After the afternoon intermission of fifteen minutes. Dr. Lowden delivered the closing talk on the subject, "How to Visit Schools." In this, many points of interest to the pedagogues were brought out and discussed. Tuesday's program will be of equal merit and interest, and will probably be enjoyed by an attendance In excess of that of today. Tha Manufacture of Plate Glass. The casting table of a plate glass factory Is about twenty feet Ions, fifteen feet wide and six inches thick. Strips of Iron on each side afford a bearing for the rollers and determine the thickness of the plate to be cast. The molten glass is poured on the table, and the roller, passing from 'end to end. spreads the glass to a uniform thickness. The glass after cooling rapidly Is transferred to the annealing oven, where it remains several days. When taken oat it is Tery rough and nneven and In that state is rosed fer skylights and other purposes where strength is desired rather than transparency. The greater part of the glass, however, is ground, smoothed and polished. Gold Medal Floor SB

research necessary for articles such as her husband has written. "Mrs. Cook has always been confident of her husband's success and ready to make sacrifices to help him. At present I believe she wants time to adjust herself to new conditions and fully realize the significance of her position before she talks for publication.

Some years ago Mr. George Augus tus Saia went to Parts on behalf of the London Telegraph to write on the subject of French cooking and French restaurants. Such praise of Parisian kickshaws was never lavished before, and the extolling, to the complete dis comfiture of English cooks, lasted for fully six weeks. Everything In the cooking line in Paris was grand: every thing in England in the same line wai horrible. At the end of the six weeks Mr. Sala returned to London, went Im mediately to the Cheshire Cheese, in Fleet street, and said to the bead waiter: "William, bring me a beef steak, some potatoes in their Jackets and a plat of ale.

Autoists No Longer Speeding

Through Glen Miller Park. ONLY A FEW VIOLATORS The warning issued by Septerintendent Klopp at Glea Miller several weeks ago "that automobilists should! not exceed a sieed of six miles an hour while running through the Glen, is having its effect it is said. Signs have been tacked up in the most conspicuous places warning the drivers to keep down the speed of their cars or suffer the consequences. However for the past two or three nights several automobiles have passed through the park leaving only a streak and odor of gasoline to tell of their presence. The numbers whizzed by so fast that Superintendent Klopp's head is swimming yet and all he could sea was a conglomeration of blurred mass that looked like Chinese lingo. Mr. Klopp asserts that such action on the part of automobilists will not be tolerated and In case the violators of the law are caught they will be dealt with severely. In- view of the numerous curves and the fact that there are no sidewalks and pedestrians are forced to use the driveways, the reckless driving is exceedingly dangerous, not only to the occupants of the automo biles themselves but to persons also who may be walking through the Glen. UNJUST INJUNCTIONS. Thsir InavitabU Rssutt Will Be Personal Freedom. The very great Interest that hasbeei manifested by the trades unionists of our country and by fair minded meo and women who sympathise with all practical and substantial effort foa human uplift regarding the Injunction proceedings of the Buck's Stove and Range company against the officers ol the American Federation of Labot presages results that in the end art sure to be beneficial to all Americana The right to exercise free speech and the right to publish a free and untrammeled press are personally deal to all men and women who have any conception of the hardships and tbs battles that were fought to found thta ' great republic. The history of the effort to secure these things runs bad through the centuries, particularly la Great Britain more than any othei country. And because of the restrictions along these lines the bleak and barren shores of New England and tbs Atlantic coast were settled by pioneen determined that their God given rights on these principles should be respected. And they faced with grim determlna. tlon anything and everything that they might have to bear In order to firmly establish these rights upon this continent. Any one that will read American history csn have no doubt as to wbal the contention of the writers of out constitution was upon these subjects. Only within comparatively recent yean has there been any material attempt by the courts to interfere with these rights. Mobs have Interfered wits them, communities have done so at times, but for the courts to do so Is comparatively new. In the injunction issued by Judge Gonld in the case above cited the interference with these fundamental rights of the citizens guaranteed by the constitution of the United States was restrained absolutely, and the determination with which the trades unionists nave fought the case in the courts is receiving the approval of all fair minded citizens. And, what la more, the result will be, if not immediately, then in the future, the absolute and unconditional recognition of the right of Individuals to the exercise of free speech as well as the promulgation of tbelr Ideas through a free press, subject at all times and under all circumstances to the laws of the nation or state which punish men for the abuse of these rights under libel laws. The labor movement asks no Immunity from libel laws. It la perfectly willing to be subject to the same penalties as any other class of citizens. But we resent an Interference with these fundamental rights by court decrees. And we shall stand against it until the people of our country are convinced that we are right and ea masse come to our support. The future Is full of hope upon this subject. No matter bow far the courts may go, the sentiment is ever growing against such unjust interference, and if the wageworkers of our country will stand solid by their unions and by the principles for which they stand the unorganized will cast their lot with us. and the day of triumph the absolute triumph of the right of free speech and free press will be near at hand. John B. Lennon, Treasurer American Federation of Labor. Workers' Rights In Germany. - The conditions under which s German employer may or may not discharge his clerk, bookkeeper, stenographer, etc.. are such as to cause astonishment here. In this country It is customary for an employer to dismiss his employes with very little ceremony if he sees fit to do so, and generally without the formality of giving notice. The dismissed employee has very little to say or to do in the matter except to receive his salary up to the day of his discharge and to go. In Germany, however, the conditions are such that unless a special agreement in writing is made between employer and employee to the contrary a notice of six weeks must be given on or before the first day of the yearly Quarter L January.
