He brought out potnta regarding His life which had effected the reformations of the world. Ho was contrasted to other men, inch an Demosthenes, Socrates and others. Rer. Wilson Is a most' interesting speaker and the Chautauqua association la gratified that he was secured to oonduct the religions exercises. ' "Meaning of Beauty." "The Meaning of Beauty" was the subject on -which Prof. Charles Gray Shaw of New York university spoke at the teachers' . Institute this morning. He gave as his definition of beauty that which pleases. He declared It was Impossible to lay down any standard for beauty as people refuse to agree on any set principals. Howevor, he declared, we had the Ideal In all arts and even though individuals might not agree In this respect. It wss sn Important duty for them to appreciate the accepted Ideal. Beauty, he declared, exists .In the mind which sees the object and not In the object Likewise utility resides la the hand or mind and not In the Instrument which Is to be utilised. He made his statements clear by free use of illustrations. Miss Bthelyn Miller of Johnson county closed the second day's Institute with another lecture on art of great value to the teachers. It Is useless to teach children art without having good and true models for them to review, she believes, and she generally criticised some of the prevailing systems In teaching the child to appreciate beauty.

The lecture likewise was perhaps the most wholesome of any which has yet been delivered. The Importance of heredity and selection of males was emphasised by the lecturer If the race is to maintain Its strong virility. Weaknesses la families, such as Insanity and crime are responsible to heredity. Environment Is Important, he declared, but even this la less In Importance than Inheritance. IS LEADICG MOOSE Dr. J. A.

LAF0LLETTE CAMPAIGN OPENED WITH A BANG

Iowa Insurgent, Speaking for Wisconsin Insurgent, Starts a Fight for the Tariff Commission. (American Ktwi Service.) Washington, Aug. 30. Reports re ceived here today from LaCrosse, Wis, have convinced the national leaders of the republican party that President Tsft has failed In his efforts to harmonise the party and bridge the chasm in the fall campaign between regulars and Insurgents. This belief Is based on the speech delivered last night by Senator Cummins of Iowa In behalf of Senator Lafollette, opening the letters ante-primary cam paign. 8enator Cummins charged that the republican party has broken Its campaign promises and platform pledges. ,and that leaders In both house and i senste "sneerlngly, : contemptuously land deliberately repudiated the pledges and passed laws to plaese their business friends and betrayed the American people." Sounds a Keynote. He sounded the keynote of a fight for tariff commission with wide Jurisdiction, -organised to investigate indlvldula schedules.! This commission, he demanded should publish the results of its Investigation, report them to congress, and Insist on the readjustment la congress of the tariff In favor of the? Ama)caaKpubUe. t ., . . "The republican party promised such a course In Its platform," be said. "This promise has been broken. It must be fulfilled eventually" The Interpretation placed upon President Taft's congressional campaign letter here that there should, be no difference shown In the campaign between Insurgents or regulars. In the Cummins speech, however, they see defiance and a rejection of this offer, giving evidence that the dyed-in-the-wool insurgents will accept no aid from the faction of the party they are fighting, relying more upon help from the Independent wing of the democrats than from their colleagues. The action of the democratic mayor yesterday at the Roosevelt welcome Is accepted here as Indicating that the principles behind the Insurgent movement are making recruits among the democrats as well as in the republican ranks. CUT OFF BY FLOODS (American News Service.) Edinburgh, Aug. 30. The royal palace at Balmoral Is virtually cut off from the world by floods, all roads about It being Impassable. The entire Dee Valley is la a serious condition, according to dispatches received today. A man was drowned on a road leading to Braemade, near Balmoral. The Blairgowrie district in Perth is devastated. The situation continues to grow worse, the loss to crops being greater than was first supposed. The danger of famine is imminent and reports give no prediction of Immediate relief. WILL BE CARDINALS (American New Service.) Rome, Aug. 30. While as a matter of course no definite statement could be secured today from the Vatican," It Is .stated semiofficially that three American prelates are to be made cardinals at the next consistory. The three chosen by the pope are given as Archbishop John M. Farley of New York. Archbishop William H. O'Connell of Boston, and Mgr. Thomas F. Kennedy of Philadelphia. PROBE IHTO GRAFT (American News Service.) New York. Aug. 30. The special Joint legislative committee appointed to investigate charges of corruption la public life, as brought out during the Allds-Conger trial and the Insurance examination recently held by Superintendent Hotchkiss of the State Insurance department, met today to begin Its public hearings. Owing to tho number of witnesses to be heard It Is probable the hearings, will last . a month or longer. - - .

A SCORE OF PEOPLE WOUNDED IN A CLASH

One Negro Confessed to Killing Bride of a Few Hours and Injuring Husband. Other Killed a Man. (American News Service.) Huntington, W. Va., Aug. 30. Martial law was declared here today. Three troops .have been ordered out to protect Thomas Wayne and Chas. Clayburn, negroes, from a mob of several thousand maddened men, determined to lynch them. A score of persons were Injured, some seriously and fifty arrests were made after a clash between citizens and troops. Wayne confessed to murdering Mrs. John Ailiff near Quinnimont and seriously wounding her husband, who was the section foreman of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad. The couple had been married only a few hour's previously. Clayburn Is charged with murdering Charles WIthrow, also a Chesapeake & Ohio foreman. At noon today the mob had swollen to five thousand, clamoring for revenge. More troops has been asked for. The situation is desperate. . Assault the Sheriff. The calling out of the troops followed a desperate attempt on the part of the local authorities to restore order. Sheriff Harshmarger, surrounded by a force of regular and special deputies, mounted. the steps of the Jail In an attempt to reason with the mob. He had spoken but a moment when the leaders rushed forward and dragged him from his position, earrylng him away. All night long the throng remained about the Jail, and the flare of a dozen bonfires made the spectacle more sinister. '. Occasionally parties led sorties against the Jail, but for the most part it was a waiting game till the sky began to lighten. The arrival of the troops, brought here on special trains, brought matters to a climax. - With bayonets fixed the soldiers tramped through the town to the jail, while Jeering crowds lined the streets, at times showering them with missiles. The main force .was concentrated about the prison, but a strong police force was detailed to cover the rest of the town. All loiterers in the outlying districts were arrested. This morning after . the clash In which the troops charged, an appeal for reinforcements was taken under consideration. C.

Kept Secret to Prevent AnyJ

Troubles. EFFORTS TO PROTECT THEM ARE ELABORATE Wire Fence Charged With Electricity About the Palace and Little Town Is Like Military Camp. Friedburg, Hesse, Aug. 30. Guarded by the most elaborate precautions taken for royalty's safety in a generation, the Czar and the Czarina arrived here today. Every effort to keep the exact time of their arrival secret had been made, to throw, the police off its guard. It Is known that nothing would have brought Nicholas and Alexandra from Russia, particularly at this time, except the fact that the step was the last hope In the empress' fight to regain her health. She is still suffering from the attack which few months ago led to the announcement that she had lost her mind. . For two weeks the police have been preparing for the arrival of their majesties. ' Every radical has been under surveillance and every known anarchist has been arrested on one pretext or another, or ordered from the vicinity. For the second time within a week the police of Europe have detailed their most expert men to protecting a ruler. The report that South American anarchists, acting under orders of their European leaders, had designs on the life of Victor Emmanuel of Italy, on his ' trip to Montenegro: for the elevation ceremonies of King Nicholas resulted In unusual precautions. ' V - ; -, : v'.f-1 , ;:; . Police. From Berlin. The local Hesse police today are reinforced with 400 Berlin police and as many more detectives, most of them from the bureaus that deal especially with, anarchists, .are at the Spa or in its vicinity, in disguise. The ancient castle given over to the Russian royalties is today surrounded with phalanxes of troops, and the town itself with 7,000 inhabitants, has the appearance of a military camp. In all there are 4,000 soldiers on duty here. . A big wire fence, with an electric attachment that converts it into a deadly barrier, surrounds the castle, whose openings even to the drains have been covered with gridirons. At the entrances to the park are stationed police dogs. To prevent any mistakes in Identity, every soldier and policeman has been provided with a photograph of the Czar. Along the route : selected for, the Czar's journey more than 500 troopers were stationed two days ago, a sentinel being placed every hundred yards witn patrols at all crossings. It ts said the imperial couple left St. Petersburg in a new armor plate car. The route chosen was via Eydtkuhnen. East Prussia.

MR. WALTER TOTTEN CARPENTER.

Walter T. Carpenter, the oldest educator in Indiana and a patriarch of the Friends' church of America, who would be 100 years old next New Tear's day, is at the point of death at his home in West Richmond near Earlham College of which he was one of the founders. He has been unconscious about sixty hours. Mr. Carpenter's .condition is due to old, age entirely and the physicians say he 'is gradually sinking, although Friends are praying that he may live until Ills, hundredth birthday; : ' Since his retirement from active life in 1S93, when he declined reappointment as a trustee of Earlham College, Mr. Carpenter has been living at his home . in comparatively : good health, until the last year. On account of being extremely hard of hearing, he has seen very few persons during the last few months. With the exception of a woman, who is over one hundred : years old, and walks three squares every Sunday, to meeting in Whittler, Cal, Mr. Carpenter, it is believed by Timothy. Nicholson, a prominent Quaker, to, be the oldest living Friend in United States. Although never a minister - in the church, he has been an elder for many years, and has always been prominent in church affairs. Several years ago, on the presentation of photographs of Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter to Earlham College, ' Timo thy Nicholson prepared the following testimonial of the works and lives of these two prominent Friends, a which is now hung under the photographs. This testimonial is as follows: "Walter Totton i Carpenter, son of Isaac and Mercy Frost Carpenter, was born first month. 1st, 1811, in Duanesburgh, , Schenectady Co., New York. In his fourth , year, his father removed with his family to a farm In Clinton Co, Ohio, five miles west of Wilmington, v It i required six .weeks i to make the journey in, wagons. t f i . "On this farm, only thirty acres of which were in cultivation, a log cabin, of two rooms - and ' a ; garret (reached by a ladder); was for a time the home of the parents and their; six children. "Susan Mabie, daughter of John and Elizabeth Mabie. was born In - Peekskill, on the Hudson, Westchester Co., New York, twelfth month, 27th, 1811. In 1833 her parents wth their five daughters, removed to Wilmington. Ohio; ' and in ' 1834, 72 years ' ago, she and Walter T. Carpenter 'were united in marriage.- . '-A f. "From 1834 to 1847 they lived first WILSON 'WILL SPEAK (American News Service.) Chattanooga, Tenn Aug. 30 Following a series of important E conferences held here the past few days by the several ; sections of the American Bar Association the general sessions of the thirty-first annual convention of. the association : were begun this morning- with a record-breaking: attendance of the distinguished : legal lights of the " country. ; President Charles F. Libby. of Portland, Me., called the gathering to order in the aldermaale chamber of the city hall and delivered his annual address. The remainder of the session was occupied chiefly with the reports of officers and committees. Tomorrow night, the annual address win be delivered before the association by ...

in Cincinnati, and then In Clarksville. Ohio; Walter being engaged at different times In milk business, porkpacking and general merchandise. At the latter date they settled upon a farm near Clarksville. With characteristic enterprise and unusual judgment In its management, this soon became a model farm, and. as such, .attracted' much attention. All this while our friends were also faithful in Jtheir personal and official - duties as members Of Friends' church. In 1857 they removed to Richmond, that their-chll-Uren might' have " better "social." educational , and religious advantages. They at first settled on a farm just south of the city. Very soon a wider field : of . service and usefulness opened," and Walter ,T. Carpenter was appointed a member of the committee in charge of the Boarding school now Earlham. and in 1858 -he succeeded Charles Atherton as superintendent of the school, and shortly after, Susan M. Carpenter was appointed matron, and they occupied these respective positions , with remarkable efficiency, with the exception of two short Intervals, until 1873. One of these vacation periods occurred in 1863, when at the urgent request of Indiana Yearly Meetings' Freedmen's " committee, Walter T. Carpenter went as Its agent to Nashville, Tenn., to look after the physical, educational and religious in terests of the destitute Freedman. After, being relieved from that field, he went to Helena and Litttl Rock - in Arkansas, in the same service. i. "After their retirement from Earlham, Susan M. Carpenter was a member, of the Earlham committee from 1874 to 1877; and when Western Yearly Meeting united with Indiana Yearly Meeting in the management ' of Earlham in 1880, Walter T., Carpenter was appointed a trustee, and he held this, position until 1893, f In the 82nd year of his age, when he declined reappointment Thus r for thirty-five years, " except, the intervale above re ferred to, he ,was officially connected with the college.; When' LIndley Hall, Parry - Hall and ' the gymnasium' were built, in ' 1887-8 he was a prominent member , of the building - committee. and he i had the honor of laying the corner stone of Lindley HalL Both of them - still continue to manifest lively interest - in -. Earlham : college. " : At this date fifth month, 1900 in their 96fu and ; 95th year, respectively, they are in . comparatively . comfortable ; health, clear in Intellect, ' fervent i In - spirit, serving the Lord and bringing forth fruit In old age."
