PROHIS ARE BUSY R A1S I tl GGREAT FUND And Did Not Have Time to Nominate Ticket at the Forenoon Session.

(National News Association) ATLANTIC CITY, July 12. The morning session of the national Prohlbition closed with the choice of the

party for presidential and vice presidential candidates yet unnamed. This was due to the enthusiasm of the delegates in responding to the pleas for campaign funds to which the forenoon was largely given over. Over ?7,000 was subscribed to this fund in amounts ranging from $3 to $1,1)00. This brings the campaign fund up to $42,000 and the national committee' expects to increase it to $150,000 before November. The morning session opened with the presidential situation but little changed but there was a trend of insurgent favor toward F. W. EmerBon of California, a close personal friend of Virgil Hinshaw, who was elected national chairman by the Insurgents last night.

WANTED TO MARRY; HE STOLE WATCHES

(National News Association) CHICAGO, July 12. Albert Wang, anxious to be married and have his own home, took watches from the safe of Moore & Evans, jewelers. That is the story he toldthe police today following his arrest. After he had been taken into custody Wang with two detectives went to his home. They found pretty 18-year-old Mrs. Wang entertaining a company of friends. Saying he had a business deal on with the men, Wang got some papers and was taken to the police station. His peculations, it is asserted, have netted about $4,000. He was a confidential clerk and had access to the safe where the watches were kept. They were shipped to New York and sold at auction. "I wanted to get married and didn't have the money. I took some watches. It was so easy I kept on," said Wang. "My wife didn't know."

COUNTY CHAIRMEN MEETJNJUESDAY District Republican Leaders To Decide on Congressional Convention.

Richmond will probably be selected by the Republican county chairmen of the Sixth Indiana Congressional district as the logical place to hold the congressional convention.

As yet there have been no announcement made. Some say "Our Jim" Watson will be the man. Several other men have been suggested but as yet the office goes begging. ? It Is asserted by friends of Watson that he will absolutely refuse the nomination If tendered to him. He has stated that he finds the practice of

law more profitable. At present he is busy campaigning for Taft.

; STORIES OF THE STAGE. A SpUndid Aooident Averted and an Actor Who Dined Too Well. Here Is an Incident that was related by the late , Bram Stoker, for many years manager to Irving of the production of "Hamlet" , at the Lyceum in London. ; On the second night of the performance the Chinese ambassador and Sir , Halliday Macartney came to see Irving In his dressing room, and presently the ambassador, who , was wearing magnificent robes of mandarin yellow, wandered off in the direction of the stage.

The ambassador was close to the edge

of the arch at the back of the scene. - where Ophelia had made her entrance and would make her exit. Mr. Stoker Jumped for him and just succeeded in i-Vi Vi 1 Kn a a hail na oca Art -trtsi

I could fancy the sudden amazement of the Audience and the wild roar of laughter that would follow when In the midst of this most sad and pathetic of scenes would enter unheralded this gorgeous anachronism." Mr. Stoker confessed that he was tempted to let the splendid accident occur. "Its unique grotesqneness would have Insured a widespread publicity not to be acquired by ordinary forms of advertisement" On another occasion a very different and very painful contretemps did occur. The actor who took the part of Polonlns on entering gave his first line with so strange an intonation that irv ing at once signed to the prompter to let fall the act drop, came forward and apologized to the audience nnd restarted the play with a new Poloniua!

London's First Directory. How did the world do its business before the publication of directories? The huge directory of London bad a first printed forerunner in a slim little volume, "A Collection of the Names of the Merchants Living In and Around the City of London." issued by Samuel Lee of Lombard street in 1677. It was the outcome most probably of the enterprise of Henry Robinson, a well known writer on commercial matters, who in 1650 opened an office in Threadneedle street, where were kept "particular registers of all manner of addresses" for the use of all who cared to pay a sixpence.

(National News Association) LISBON, July 12. The royalist insurrection in Northern Portugal is gaining strength daily and the leaders of the movement are most daring.

ANALYSIS OF A LAUGH.

Why the Romans Decreased. The visiting member of the board of education was examining a class in history, and of one of the brightest pupils he asked the question. "Why did the population of Rome decrease Just before the fall of the empire? The reply came promptly from a little girl, "Because the Romans had ceased to practice husbandry."

ENGLAND WATCHING. LONDON, July 12 The British government is watching developments in Portugal closely fearing that complications will arise that will require summary action. Dispatches from Madrid stated that the royalists have burned Braga, a city of 25,000 inhabitants, indicate that a condition of anarchy prevails in the northern section of Portugal. If the situation grows worse British warships will be sent to Oporto to protect foreign interests.

Physical Exposition of an Act Some Persons Cannot Enjoy. What is laughter? An American humorist has called it "an undignified widening of the human mouth, accompanied by a noise resembling a cough in the effort to avoid swallowing a chestnut." "Laughter," said Trofessor Sir Charles Bell, "is a convulsive action of the diaphragm. In this state the person draws a full breath and throws it out in interrupted, short and audible cachinnations. This convulsion of the diaphragm is the principal part of the physical manifestation of laughter. "But there are several accessories.

especially the sharp 'vocal utterance arising from the violent tension of the larynx and the expression of the features, this being a more intense form of the smile. In extreme cases the eyes are moistened by the effusion from the lachrymal glands." There are some people who cannot laugh, who are wholly unable to enjoy either the physical or the mental luxury of a laugh. Thus it was said of William III. that he was utterly at a loss to understand what could be got out of laughter except loss of dignity. There are many persons In history who have been, according to common report. Incapable of laughter. Queen Mary I.. John Knox. Robespierre and Moltke are examples. The Iron Duke himself rarely, if ever, went beyond a grunt. London Strand Magazine.

ILIrr LtlltH rUH HUMAKEPUBLICITY One Hundred Thousand Copies of His Plea for Ani-

mals to Be Printed. S The president of the Indiana Humane society came to this city yesterday to get the permission of J. E. Iliff to print an article written by the latter for the Indianapolis Star and copied into metropolitan papers, concerning the advisability of teaching children to consider the dumb animals. y One hundred thousand copies of this article will be prepared in booklet for distribution. The reason for the society's action is this: The officers of the National Humane Association requected the officials of the National Sunday School Association, or the body having the preparation of the international Sunday school leaflets in charge, to include in the latter studies from the

Bible, which bore on the huamne treatment of animals. The Sunday school officials refused

to do this on the ground that the paucity of such references in the Bible would not justify them. "We'll have to get them from the pagan's Bible, then." said Mr. Iliff, and began an investigation which ended in the article above referred to and which shows that in the religious books of the more sophisticated socalled "heathens" the Chinese, Japanese and those races where Buddhism prevails are found far more ad

monitions of this character than are in the Bible. These are included in his article which is to be made into a booklet for distribution all over the United States.

WOMEN AND CARD GAMES. : In Chile Such a Combination Would ' Create a Sensation. ' 'A. woman who Is a native of Chile 'was talking recently about the difficulty she had In accustoming herself to card playing among women when she came to this country. She said: ' , "In Chile card playing among women Is undreamed of. Perhaps it is not too much to say that a Chilean woman Would no more play cards than a New York woman would enter a Broadway saloon. It isn't that it is exactly or wholly a matter of morals with us. It Just Isn't the thing to do. It is not conventional. "When I came to New York 1 brought my daughter-in-law with me. a Chilean girl. ' She and I were both

-.horribly shocked to receive an invita-!

tlon to a bridge party in the daytime. It was too much for us. and we declined. Other similar invitations came

and kept coming. Finally our curioslty got the best of us, and we went to i one of these affairs. Even after we! lot over .our ' sense of outraged con-j ventlon the whole thing seemed cu-i rlous to os. I "The funniest sight of all was the) women with little tags on them, as If i marked by fast express,' or running! up to another woman with a little j card to be 'punched. Finally we sot i
