RACK WILL BK ALMOST A NATIONAL ONK At ONLY THREE FORIICW CAM HAVE SEEN ENTt R ID THIS YEAR. . (American News Service.) New York, Sept. . When the sun peeps out of the Atlantic ocean on Saturday next and spread! Its rays over Long Island a pistol snot will crack, twenty-ire speed maniacs will open the throttles or their high powered cars, and the sixth Vanderbllt cup race, America's foremoat automobile classic, will be on. Round and round the perilous course they will whirl, shooting orer bridges and taking sharp turns at death defying speed. The fashionable throngs, who have stayed awake most of the night to witness the great erent will be roused from their 'drowsy condition by the cry, "Here comes ' one." Everybody will tralghten up, crane their necks and discern a black speck In the distance. The next Instant the black streak will flask past the grandstand and disappear around a turn. On and on they will go one after another until the course of 12.64 miles has been rounded 22 times and making a total of 278.08 miles. Not since 1906 has there been such

widespread Interest In the Vanderbllt

cup race, ai la manifested this year.

and the entries will exceed either

those of 1908 or 1909. Cause for Interest.

There are many reasons for the In

terest In the great erent.

In the first place the race will be almoat entirely of a national character, there being but three foreign

entries representing only one make of car, and for the first time since the

Inception of this automobile classic.

the Pacific coast and Rocky mountain

sections win be represented as well as

the middle west and the east

Owing to the changes In the deed of gift by the donor, W. K. Vanderbllt, Jr. the Vanderbllt cup race In 1909

failed to arouse muck Interest. Pre tIous contests had been opened to

cars of any speed and power, and as

a result, manufacturers had construct

ed special cars of enormous power and

speed for the purpose of capturing the cup. The 1909 contest, however, "Wss limited only to stock can, which caused the foreign . competitors ; to withhold their entries. In connection with the Vanderbllt cup face, the contest for the Wheatley HIUs trophy, offered for sub-class No. t cars, and the Massapequa trophy, offered for subclass No. 4 cars were run at the same time which robbed the main event of many of Its sensational features. The hour of racing was also changed from K a. m tn a tn fcnif h

course was cut down from SO miles to a fraction over 12. Many of these unpopular features have been changed for this year's contest ' 1 Of course, the roles governing the trophy remain the same, and the entries are limited to stock chassis of

subclasses 1 and 2 under the classification of the A. A. A. racing rules. The contest for the Wheatley Hills and Massapequa trophies, however, will be run separately and wiU not Interfere with the big race. The entries for the Vanderbllt race alone, are almost double those of last year, and represent every section of the country. The course Is the same as last year and Its total length Is 12.84 miles. The contestants will have to round It 22 times to cover the distance for the Vanderbllt trophy. Another favorable factor. In this year's contest, 'Is the starting hour. The officials have set it back to 6 a. m. which will add to the spectacular features of the occasion. List-of Favorites. Among the favorites ln'the coming contest are George Robertson, who captiired the race In 1908, and Incidentally holds the record for the fastest time ever made In the Vanderbllt contest; Bert Dingley, who has made excellent showings In the Vanderbllt races; Ralph Burnham and Jack Fleming. The first ( Vanderbllt cup race was run October 8, 1904, over a course 80.24 miles length Including controls. The distance was S02.4 miles. It was won by Heath In a Panhard car, with a total elapsed time of 6 hours 56 minutes, 45 seconds, and a net time of 5:26:45, or an average speed of 52.2 miles per hour. The second race was run October 14, 1905, ten times around a 28.3 miles circuit with no controls. . It was won by Hemery In a Darracq car In 4 hours, 50 minutes, 10 seconds, at an average speed of 61.43 miles per hour. The fourth race was held October 24, 1908, eleven times around a 23.46 mile course, or 258.06 miles.

WHAT CLEAN BLOOD MEANS They used to accuse Dr. A. B. Simpson, one of the famous physicians of Indiana, of having a cure-all because his great reputation was established largely on one prescription, the most effective alterative or blood-purifier known. "No," he would remark, "it will not cure consumption, nor typhoid, nor any one of a hundred common diseases. It simply purifies the blood, but it does that very thoroughly." What are the symptoms of poisoned, Impure blood? They range all the way

from the dreadful syphilis to a muddy

complexion. They Include inflammatory rheumatism, catarrh, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, pimples, boils, running sores, erysipelas, pimples, boils, and a number of similar afflictions. All these yielded readily to Dr. Simpson's treatment. And during the forty years this preparation has been on the market as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound It has never failed In a , single case. The very worst cases of syphillls have been cured as weU as all the other blood diseases named above and the same compound has always given clear, clean complexions to those, otherwise in" good health. It Is sold at $1.00 a bottle at all drug stores.

Ss-sciaI Cable from the International (American News Service.) BY STEVEN BURNETT i . . . .. . . - ' i. i Berlin. Sept. 26 The recent meeting of Count AehrenthaL who Is undoubtedly the foremost ; diplomat in Europe today, with Marchese dl San

Glullano, was the most interesting po litical event of many months and its results are being widely discussed. The meeting was certainly one that required great delicacy for Italy, although a partner with the Triple Alliance, has followed a course entirely her own during recent years, so far as her foreign policy has been concerned; and sometimes In direct opposition to . the attitude adopted in this country. For some time past serious : politicians have regarded the Triple Alliance as little better than a figment; though this situation was not regarded seriously on account of the enormously Increased power of the Austro-German alliance. Austrian statesmen are fully aware that they could not longer rely on Italy should trouble arise: It is thought this country would weigh up the possibilities arising out of any conflict, and would try to throw in her lot with the winning side.

For some years the strength of

the Mediterranean, has been regarded

as sufficient to draw Italy towards that

political combination. Since the Servian difficulty of last year, however.

the military and diplomatic value of

that entente, at any rate in the near east, has been less certain; and hence the hasty protestations of fidelity to the Triple Alliance on the part of

Italy protestations which are accept

ed here with the necessary, discount. One gain- has certainly accrued however, from Italy's adhesion 'to the Alliance. It has avoided an open breach between her and Austria though popular manifestations of ill will, both on the frontier and even in the legislative chambers have not been stopped. There is little doubt in the minds of those best qualified to speak on the subject that it was for the purpose of minimizing any dangers arising from these spontaneous demonstrations which, it is admitted, to no more divulge the true feeling of the people that the meeting between the two statemen at Salzbourg was arranged. According to the official announce ment on the matter the proceedings were most satisfactory, and both ministers' have arrived at an understanding so that steps will be taken soon which will ensure the relations between the two peoples being as correct as the official relations between the two governments. The position In the near east has also been discussed and it was decided to support the Toung Turkish regime.

Already the largest electrical undertaking in Europe, the Allgemoine. Elec-

The Allgemeine company takes over bodily the dynamo works of the Felton company at Frankfort, paying for them in new . shares, and at the same time, in conjunction with the Electric Bank at Zurich, acquires a predominant Interest In the cable works at Muelheim and Nordenham. ' These measures will give it a firmer footing in South Germany than it at present possesses, and a commanding position in the manufacture of submarine cables. In this branch of electrical Industry it has hitherto . been prevented from doing anything by the shallowness of the Spree, which does not allow vessels large enough to accommodate submarine cables to reach Berlin.

Danny Gurtler, who styles himself "the King of the Bohemians,' is one of those comedians who does not confine his profession exclusively to the music-hall stage. Among his peculiarities is an unbridled antipathy to the Roman Catholic church This misled him to a violent' utterance, which resulted in his being condemned to Stuttgart to a month's imprisonment on the charge of libelling the Pope. When the time came for him to enter upon his term, he drove round Darmstadt in a-four-in-hand, ornamented by a couple of smartly-liveried footmen, to the admiration of the crowds which had been drawn together by the welldisplayed advertisement in the papers. On his way he passed the Schloss, where the guard, evidently presuming that . some princely person of great

Frana Tommasevic, a curate of Polesnik (Istria) and his sweetheart have been arrested on a charge of committing several murders and of being accessories to another murder. . A convict named Simon Kovacevic, who has been sentenced to penal servitude for life, made a confession to the effect that the curate and his sweetheart were accessories to a murder and robbery committed by him, and added that they bad murdered their own illegitimate children without his help. The bones of the children, it is' said, have been found at a spot indicated by the convict.

DEMOCRATS MAY RETORT

BY REMINDING THE CITY FOLKS OF FORTY CENT CANTELOUPE AND THE THREE CENT EGG OF THE PRESENT TIME.

' (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Sept. 26. Political symbolism will not be lacking in the fall campaign. , Picture a plutocratic porker promenading in front of a bursting barn with Mister Farmer standing by. gazing with pride and uttering contented chortles. Up in republican headquarters the other day some one went through the process of having an idea and then he put it facetiously: "A $9 hog is a stubborn fact." The porcine prosperity idea took hold with those who listened. The

$9 hog looked good to them. Since then he has broken into the papers in pointed paragraphs and will bristle out in cartoons. People are talking the sky priced swine, and weighted

I with corn and sundry other high priced food stuffs the farmer may sell

he may fatten into the biggest campaign issue in the rural sections of the state. Remember the log , cabin and the cider keg of the William Henry Harrison campaign? Perhaps mot, but you have seen it in the histories. Recollect the "full dinner pail" and "open the mills instead of the mines" when McKinley was the evangel of republicanism? Well, yes. The $9 hog may never attain such celebrity, this being an off year and the election not involving the presidency. But the man who said "A $9 hog is a stubborn fact," not being given to gin rickeys or the dry Martini, simply took three day's off, smoked his pipe, and considered It a good week's work. On the other hand the democratic party which is preaching the high cost of living to the city folks is likely to retort with another . farm symbol. They may adopt the .forty cent canteloupe or the three cent egg, but no one has talked it yet. The fact is, while economists are attributing high prices to the excess of gold mined in a quarter century, both parties are endeavoring to make campaign capital out of them. Meanwhile there are several Indiana people who are Industriously hoping both will adopt the slogan "A fat pay envelope."

The days that followed bad paaeed

. as

craved for a Iltriaplte. for a breathing epaoe la which he might gather up bis strength: the dull agony pressed him down to the ground It was too hesvy to be borne- Slowly It lifted, until, reluctantly, be took up his life again, knowing . that maimed and broken though it was. It must atlll be lived. To-night he bad braced himself to look through her lettera and papers. It was an odd Uttle Jumble, tbe collection of a girl hardly out of her 'teens. His eyea smarted and he clenched bis teeth aa be too up one trifle after soother and laid It on the fire he had lit There was no good In keeping them) tbe sight of them would be like a knife In bla heart every time. Better destroy all her Uttle girlish treaaurea than risk their falling into hands leas tender than his. So letters, ball programmes, photographa, smart little diaries, begun with much pomp and ceremony and ending la a few weeks, were consigned to the flames one after the other, uatll the desk stood bare and empty. It waa In putting out the drawers to see that he had not overlooked anything that Cassllls had touched a secret spring and found that ' It atoed by Itself, mysterious, almost sinister In Ma suggestion. It had nothing In eornmos with the girlish trifles he had destroyed. It waa UbeUed and sealed as though It held aa Important secret. War bad Felicity never mentioned it? He would never have suspected her of a secret she was so frank and careless and untroubled. She waa friends with all tb world. He remember ad he had tried to lecture her once or twice on her careless habits, oa the way ahe left things lying about but It had not had much effect. And . yet she . bad been careful enough In one Instance, at aU event. She had hidden this packet away where It would sever have bean found In her Ufa where It was only a chance that It was found after ber death. What did It mean? la aplte of himself, of his lore and trust la Me dead wire. Cassllia grew a little restless. Felicity was so young and tenderhearted; bad anybody dared to trade ea bar goodness Had ahe bean drawn Into something against ber will something that ahe did not like to disclose oven to htm, of which, la her lmtooanea, ahe bad probably eaaggerated the importance? That was the only feasible sptaaastoa. That she had kept anything from aim that concerned herself alone was absurdly Improbable. He knew her ceadtd natural ah had spoken est every thought as It aa,am

' He took up the packet and put K In the grate with the rest. But the Are was burning low, dull with she ashes of the things It had consumed, and the tightly tied packet lay on it smouldering slowly. A languid flame crept round it burning the wrapper and disclosing the oontents. They were letters, aa Caaatlla had conjectured. They burnt so slowly, the Are seemed so reluctant to take them, that Caaallla took up the poker to press the packet down among the hot coals. He wanted It done with and out of the way. It Jarred on him. Aa he touched the lettera they feU apart and. In hia attitude of stooping over the lire, he could not help aealng tbe page, that faced him. Before be realiaed what he waa doing he had read a line. . . . The . next moment he anatched the sheet from the flames and fell back In hla chair, white and trembling, the paper crushed In hia hand. His. heart waa . beating tumultuouaty. there waa a sound like rushing water la hla ears; he could hardly see. When he had recovered a Uttle, hla first thought waa to save the rest of the letters, but by this time they were beyond saving. Only n few charred f ragmen ta remained, which crumbled up as he touched them. He turned eagerly to, the sheet he held, smoothing It out carefully. - He bad no scruples about reading It now. Hla blood waa oa Ore; he oould not think or reason. Everything was In a mad confusion. When he had read the letter he let It drop from bis hand to the ground as though It had atung hhu. He sat quits stilt a minute, staring Into the shadows with empty eyes, caught la a blind agony of pain. Then hla head dropped on his hands, and be hid hla face. It was a love letter that lay oa tho floor, the first words that bad caught bis attention were worda -of endearment It was a packet of love Inters that tho wife he bad adored had hidden away so carefully. Death had come to her suddenly, or no doubt ahe would have destroyed them herself. In case they should ever be found aha had written those words, to be burned unopened. "Felicity! Tour be murmured brokenly; all tbe world might have been falsa, but be would have sworn that oho waa true. TCverythlna seemed crumbling about hla ears; be did not know what to think, what to bene.

Then, at least be bad bad the comfort of her lev, tho conviction that la death.

He could not realise the thing yet. It seemed so Impossible. Felicity, who had lived by his side three rears, whose every thought and feeling he believed he bad known. He almoat laughed aloud. How he bad been deceived! What a fool she must have thought html . ... And yet and yet she had died with her band in hia, her eyea on hia face. If there was only any room for Uttle? ' X came as soon aa I could we doubt and hope; but there aeemed none. It was all ao fixed and certain. The man who had written the letter Desmond Blake waa a friend of Felicltya girlhood ;. he ; (Cassllls) had only met htm once or twice since their marriage. Blake had gone abroad about a year ago and he had never given him another thought. But now he remembered various little things that . confirmed his fears. Fellcltr bad never spoken of him, though ha was an old friend. Surely that was strange? The date of the letter he held was nearly eighteen months ago. the other letters were probably written about the same time; that would bring them up to the data of hla departure. He did not think Felicity oould have heard from Blak mora than once er twice after be went abroad, er ha would have noticed the foreign letters. Tho correspondence bad most likely ceased when they parted. ' Felicity had not had the courage, or Par haps the wish, to break bar marriage vows. She bad been true to him ha act. If not In thought But It was easy to see where ber bears bad gone, . ( Mo man would have written such a lettar axoept to a woman who loved him aa he loved 'bar.

He would ask why he had waited to love Felicity until she waa out of his reach. He had known her first; why had he not wooed and won her then. If he could? Why had he watted until she belonged to another man? Felicity had cared for nobody else when she married htm, Cassllls was convinced of that, why had he come between them? When he had asked these questions and they had been answered. Cassllls thought and the blood rushed through his veins like firethat he would then take the vengeance that was his due. That was all he had to live for now. He must find Blake, though he were hidden at the uttermost enda of the earth. Later that same night, when ha had coma downstairs, a servant came to him with a message. Felicity's greatest friend, a Mrs. hlusgrave, had called to see him. Cassilis could not very well refuse tspeak to her. little as he felt Inclined to see anybody. She had been away for some months, and had only Just returned She knew nothing of Felicity's sudden ill-death.-exoept j-hat be had told her In a brief letter.
