COUNTRY NOW AT A CRISIS SAYS WILSON

Deomcratic Nominee Outlines His Policies in Accepting the Nomination for the Presidency. (Continued from Page One) bound together by the fact that their ownership of their stock and the members of their boards of directors are controlled and determined by comparatively small and closely lnter-re-lated groups of persons, who, by their Informal confederacy, may control, if they please, and .when they will, both credit and enterprise. He hinted at the existence of a "money trust," and while he admited such a thing might not exist, he advocated legislation to prevent It. Thrust At Roosevelt. The governor's speech was entirely free from personalities but toward the end he made a veiled thrust at-Colonel Roosevelt and the present conditions in the Republican party when he said : "A presidential campaign may easily degenerate into a mere personal contest and so lose its real dignity and significance. There is no indispensible man. The government will not collapse and go to pieces if any one of the gentlemen who are seeking to be entrusted with its guidance should be left at home. Men are but instruments. "We are as important as the cause we represent and in order to be important must really represent a cause." LIVING MILK CARTS. The Goats of Athens and Their Tend era With Their Tin Cups. The bootblacks and newsboys of Athens are numberless and omnipresent, yelling out in shrill tones the latest edition or Inviting customers in equally strident tones to have a "shine." Hot chestnut men, with charcoal braziers and stock in trade of a hundred big nuts, doze over their little fires or sell pistachio nuts, sesame seed or pumpkin seeds at the street corners. Much of the merchandise is carried by diminutive gray donkeys or by old women, who are almost lost under their huge loads of oranges or lemons or cauliflowers or brushwood. The goats are a familiar sight of modern as doubtless they were of ancient Athens, and one sees them skip ping over the rocks of Mars hill or the Pnyx or picking their way gingerly over the ruins of some ancient temple like chamois in their native wilds. They are all muzzled and attended In flocks of ten or a dozen by a goatherd,' who goes armed with three little tin cups, one holding about a pint, another a half pint and another a gill. When he finds a customer he stops a section of his living milk cart, milks it, hands over the diminutive amount of the lacteal fluid (.it certainly is fresh milk) to the customer and receives his 6 or 10 lepta (1 or 2 cents) in return. Christian Herald. FIRST AMERICAN HEROINE. Gunner Corbin's Widow, Who Fought at Mount Washington. The first woman who fought for American liberty was Gunner Corbin's widow, at the capture of Mount Washington by the Scotch and Hessians. In the midst of the fight Gunner Corbin, struck by a bail, fell dead at his wife's feet as she was aiding him in his duties. It was not an uncommon occurrence for Irishwomen (as at Limerick) to share the dangers of the blvouacks, as instance the deeds of that other heroine. Molly Pitcher. Instantly, without a word, she stepped into his place and worked the gun with redoubled skill and vigor, fighting bravely until she sank to the earth, pierced by three grapesbot! Though terribly wounded, she finally recovered, but was disabled for life. A soldier's half pay and the value of a soldier's suit of clothes annually voted her by the Continental congress (but soon discontinued) were all the reward that the first woman who fought for American liberty ever received for such heroic love, courage and suffering. E. F. DeLancy in Magazine of American History. Last Words of the Great. Half of the store of "last words" treasured by the curious are apocryphal. Pitt cried out not as the records have it as to the state of his country, but for a pork pie, and Napoleon HI. littered neither lamentation nor prophecy, but desired to know If one standing at his side bad been at Sedan. The failing Hps of the great are expected to frame some pious or patriotic aphorism, and if they fail then phrases are coined for them. "Deathbed avowals and moralizing." said Disraeli when his own end was in sight, "are a legacy counted upon by the English publicHe did not contribute to the collection, hut one phrase escaped him. "I have suffered much," he sighed. "Had I been a nihilist I should have confessed all.' What lay behind those words no two critics can be found to agree. Dundee Advertiser. Salmon Loaf. For a delicious salmon loaf use two cans of salmon and a loaf of stale bread. Reject the crusts of the bread and remove the bones from the salmon. Break the bread into crumbs and the salmon into flakes and mix them together. Moisten with two beaten eggs, a tablespoonfnl of melted butter and one or two teaspoonfuls of lemon Jniee, with salt and pepper to taste. Add a tablespoonful of cream if not moist enough. Butter a bread tin and put the mixture into it. Bake the loaf for an hour or until thoroughly done. Kerve with a cream sauce or a white sauce sprinkled with miaced parsley.-'

BILL DONAVAN Meets Jack Dillon Here Next Monday

BALZAC'S BACK DOOR. It Was Convenient When Creditors Became Too Insistent. In the year 1848 or thereabout, being worried by duns in Paris. Balzac took lodgings in Passy, then a village in the environs, at a house in the Rue Basse. There is little remarkable about the front of the house. It is Just a plain, white, two storied French dwelling of a hundred years ago or of today for that matter. But at the back is a garden, and at the bottom of the garden is a doorway leading into one of the oldest lanes in the world, from the look of it. Truly, this ruelle, with its crumbling walls of stone and plaster, its ivy and its shade of overhanging trees, is as happily devoid of suggestions of modern 'improvements' as anything to be found within the suburbs of Paris. By means of this byway Balzac, when insistent voices from within the house reached his ears as he worked in his little pavilion at the end of the garden, could avoid the unpleasantness of an interview with any holder of the overdue bills which throughout his life were the only tangible results of his experiments as a printer and typefounder. It needs but little imagination to see him hurry off down the lane, hatless and in slippers, to await events, while he dreams of exploiting the jewels of the Golconda or the silver mines of the new world. Nature's Carvings. There is a rock profile to be seen on Mount Wilson. California, which is more striking than the famous formation In the White mountains, although the former is said by some to be the most perfect of all of "nature's carvings." The features are strong and full of expression and thf contour of the head of correct proportions, the forehead lofty, the eyebrows Jutting, and the aquiline nose is exceedingly vigorous. The mouth Is hard and set. but complete in detail, and even the line from the nostril to the corner of the mouth and the rugged modeling of the cheek are distinctly marked. The chin and jaw are correctly sculptured, and even the line of the high collar and old fashioned coat may be seen on this remarkable bowlder. The Banana. The banana plant bears fruit every year. It is one of the most productive plants in the world and feeds more people than any other known to man. It has been estimated that more than a third of the human race depend almost wholly for their existence upon the banana. That the fruit is amply able to sustain life, and to sustain it in a very satisfactory manner. Is demonstrated by the fact that the millions who live on practically nothing else get along very well with it and appear to be as strong and active as those who live on other kinds of food. The Piano Case. To restore polish on a piano case first dnst it with a dry. soft cloth, then dip a piece of chamois skin of good size in clear, cold water and wring as dry as possible, rub over the piano with this and if the skin becomes soiled rinse well and use again, always wringing as clear of water as possible each time. When it is clean pellsh with a soft dry skin. An Improvement. "Mrs. Newrich has put a beautifully carved sundial in her Italian garden." "Yes?" "And she has arranged to have it eipctricallr lighted at night so she can t! th time at all hours." Cleveland

Night. Sporting Gossip Arthur Devlin, of the Boston Braves, is planning on taking a baseball team to Cuba next winter. The Detroit Club has purchased pitcher George (Rube) Boehler of the Newark, Ohio, state league team. It looks as if Bill Dahlen had guessed right when he added Frank Allen to Brooklyn's pitching staff. Baseball teams of the Typographical Union will hold their annual tournament In Boston on August 20. Manager Charlie Dooin is using "Castus" Cravath as a pinch hitter for the Quakers, and "Cactus" is some hitter. Clyde Milan of the Washington team has the jump on all the big leaguers in the race for base stealing honors for the season. Eddie Plank, of the Athletics, and Joe Wood, of the Red Sox, are engaged in a fancy tussle for the pitching honors in the American League. The Cubs miss Mordecai Brown on their present Eastern invasion. This is .the first trip the three-fingered star has missed in many moons. A few years ago the White Sox were known as the "Hitless Wonders." With not a man in the .300 class they are "hitless" still, but no longer "wonders." Pitcher Garlow is the latest Indian to become a star in the flinging department. He has won 12 straight games for the Hamilton team, of the Canadian League. New York fans are rooting for Boston to win the American League pennant as they figure Rube MarquarJ a winner if the Giants and the Red Sox meet in the world's series. J. H. Halligan, athletic director at Louisiana State University, has made a proposition to Manager Davis to take the Cleveland team to Baton Rouge for spring training next year. If Eddie Mensor, the Pirate youngster, can keep up his great work with the stick he will no doubt be presented with a slice of western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and northern West Virginia. The drafting season opens on August 20, when the major league clubs will take their pick of minor league players at the following prices: Class A. A., $2,500; Class T., $1,500; Class B. , $1,200; Class C, $750; Class D., $500. WITH THE BOXERS. The McMahon brothers, boxing promoters, have leased a club in New York and will give their first show Sept. 17. Willie Lewis would like to get another crack at Bill Papka, but Bill has agreed to meet Eddie McGoorty in Kenosha on Labor Day. Freddie Welsh, former lightweight champion of England, and Johnny Summers have signed for a 20-round bout scheduled for Cardiff, Wales, August 15. . Tin. - Who first found tin? There is a legend among the Cornish miners that St. Piran. an Irish hermit, was the discoverer. His ancient church in the parish of Perranzabuloe, in Cornwall, laid bare of sand by the sea many years ago, has recently been repaired. Cornish miners still keep the feast of St. Piran. who, according to the fable, first found tin. forgetting that their forefathers had long previously sold it to the Phoenicians. Possibly the legend points to the fact that this Irish-

FIGHT GAME WILL

BE REVIVED HERE Promoter Murbarger to Ex hibit Dillon, Donovan and Others, Monday. The boxing game In Richmond is to be revived by Sam Murbarger, the well known Indianapolis promoter. Mur barger is In the city now and has announced that his first show would be put on at the Coliseum next Monday with Jack Dillon of Indianapolis and Bill Donovan of Buffalo, principles In the feature bout of the evening. Dil lon is the champion middleweight of America and Donovan one of the classiest fighters in that division. The boys have never met and the fight, which is scheduled for ten rounds, promises to be a very interesting one. Donovan recently met Hugh McGann, a heavyweight and who is well known to the local fight fans, and knocked him out. Murbarger has also signed Jimmy Watts, a favorite in this city, to meet Johnny Dorsey, a clever little fighter. Ray Bronson, the HooBler pride, will referee all the mills. Ray is now recovering from the effects of an automobile smaehup in Wisconsin. Some good preliminary fights will be put on by local boys. The prices to the show Monday night, Murbarger says, will be popular. THE MENACE OF RABIES. Shut Up Your Dog When These Symp tome Begin to Show. The first striking symptom in a rabid dog is almost invariably a decided change in Its disposition. It either becomes more cross, irritable and sulky or shows unusual friendliness and wants to be continually petted. Obviously in the latter state it is a most dangerous menace to Its owner, who easily may be infected through a scratch on the hand or by a bite during unusual playfulness. In either case the dog soon becomes extremely restless, lying down, then almost immediately getting up to run around nervously for a few seconds and again lying down. This rotation it keeps up without interruption for some time. The dog is easily startled, growls and barks at the least provocation. The owner or keeper who knows its disposition will easily discern this change and by simply shutting up the dog securely for observation will obviate all further danger. The Pasteur treatment has been proved beyond peradventure to be a specific prophylactic against rabies. It will prevent the development of the disease if administered properly and if used in time. The report of the Pasteur institute of Paris (Annales de l'Institut Pasteur) states that during the past ten years 7,380 persons have been treated, of whom only twentyone have died from all causes, a mortality of .28 per cent. The record in this country is almost as good. Walter Peet in Harper's Weekly. SERVED IN A COLD PIE. Sir Jeffrey Hudson's Introduction to Queen Henrietta. Perhaps the most remarkable dwarf on record was Sir Jeffrey Hudson, the little fellow whom Scott introduces in "Peveril of the Peak." He was born in Rutlandshire, England, in 1619. When eight years of age he was presented by the Duke of Buckingham to Queen Henrietta in a cold pie. He afterward became attached to the court of Charles I. At one of the court masks the king's porter, a man of gigantic size, who used to torment . the little dwarf, pulled from one pocket a loaf of bread and from the other Jeffrey, much to the surprise and amusement of the company present. Jeffrey was at this time. only eighteen inches in height. life remained at this stature until he was thirty years of age, after which a curious exception to the laws of growth took place, since Jeffrey rapidly grew to be three feet nine inches in height, whereas most men do not grow a quarter of an inch after the age of thirty. This dwarf had an enormous bead and very large hands and feet; otherwise his proportions were symmetrical and his face was considered handsome. The White Ship. The age of chivalry is supposed to be that age when young men dressed themselves up in armor and pounded one another with lances and swords. It is perhaps well to recall the story of the White Ship, which in the year 1120 carried to England the grandson of the Norman conqueror. This ship was captained by the son of the man who had steered across the conqueror himself." The ship sank. There was only one lifeboat. The young prince was put in that, to be rowed away. His sister screamed. He put back to save her also. So many leaped into the boat from the sinking ship that all were drowned except one butcher, who clung to the mast. The passengers on this ship were 140 picked and noble knights, guarding the person of their future king. Collier's Weekly. A Lovers' Quarrel. Korter turned np at the office one morning with a black eye and a missing front tooth. "Just a lovers quarrel," he explained airily to his brother clerks "a lovers' quarrel, that's all." -But.

POETICAL TRIBUTE PAID TO EARHART

Although Will Earhart, recent supervisor of the music in the Richmond public schools who is soon to leave for Pittsburg to take charge of the department of music in the schools of that city, declined all public testimonials of every description, his associates in the management and personnel of the Richmond Symphony orchestra prepared a four page booklet, typographically ornamental, containing a poetic expression of their regard for their director, which was artistically bound in leather and presented to Mr. Earhart. The "Lines to Mr. Earhart, were composed by Mr. Lee Nusbsum and tre apropos and well written, voicing the deep regret of the orchestra, organized and carried to its present stage of musical accomplisment by Mr. Earhart, over the departure of the latter. The title page reads: "As an expression of the high esteem in which Mr. Will Sarhart is held by the Richmond Symphony Orchestra, the following lines, written by the president, are hereby dedicated to Mr. Earhart the first Director," with the names of the Board of Directors, Lee B. Nusbaum. Walter Runge. E. B. Knollenberg, Robert C. Wilson and F. K. Hicks following: The copy was Inscribed with the names of the entire orchestra. Mr. Nusbaum's lines read: And so you're going to Pittsburgh, that black and smoky town Where the coal soot and the cinders are forever coming down. We hoped that you would change your mind, and yet conclude to stay, But since you have your trunks all packed, we know you're going away. Perhaps the chance for wealth and honor, as well as for renown. Is better down in Pittsburgh than In this Quaker Town. We know you'll rise both fast and high and we will all be glad If you'll need a longer ladder than the one Old Jacob had. When Sunday afternoon comes round you'll think of us, no doubt, And wish that you were here again at work to help us out. So if that homesick feeling gets the best of you again Just get two tickets back this way; we'll meet you at the train. The Good Book says somewhere, we know, that "Life is more than meat." If that's the case then Richmond Is pretty hard to beat. The fourteen years of service and the work you left behind Has made our lives the better, both in quality and kind. But there is one consolation that with us will e'er remain: That while we miss you sorely, our loss is Pittsburgh's gain. They're wise, 'tis true, we envy them, we do and can't keep still. For the big fish eat the little ones; they have, and always will. The Orchestra, with one accord, wish you and yours the "best." And whether we are great or small will now be put to test. The work is here, we must go on; to fail would be disgrace, For when a Leader Is called higher, another takes his place. WE HOPE that in the future years when honors crowd in fast That you will think of us, your friends. as long as life shall last. And when the last Rehearsal comes. and we shall meet no more, May we join in Grand Concert upon the other shore. Traveling Incognito. Some investigator of curious subjects has discovered that the inventor o traveling Incognito was Feter the Great of Russia. The next after the famous Russian sovereign to adopt the practice was Joseph II. of Austria, who in 1777 made a little stay in Paris under the title of Count von Falkenstein. During the revolutionary period Louis XVIII. buried his temporarily useless royal dignity under the privacy of Comte de Lille, while Charles X. passed as the Comte de Maries. The exEmpress Eugenie la her splendor fre quently took little trips as the Comtesse de Pierrefonds. Practical Results. "There may be something in this the ory of telepathy," said the mystical person. "You mean thought concentration that enables you to impress your ideas on others?" inquired Senator Sorghum. "Yes." "Well, there may be something in it. But don't depend on it For practical results in impressing people, telepathy will never compare with a brass band and a parade." Washington Star. Baggy Pants. "Why do you spend so much care on the crease of your pants, hey?" "It is important, dad. not to wear baggy trousers." "Important, is it? Why. yon young cub. look here. Did you ever see a statue to a man who didn't wear baggy pants?" Louisville Courier-Journal. Consulting Papa. "Papa, you know that George, -who proposed to me last night, is coming for his answer this evening, don't yon?" "Yes." "Oh, thank you. papa! That was the answer I was going to give him anyway!"

KANSAS CAPTURED BY PROGRESSIVES Late Returns Show Big Republican Route. Owen Victor in Oklahoma.

(National News Association) TOPEKA. Kan, Aug. 7. Latest returns from yesterday's primaries show"ed today that the Progressive victory had been even greater than expected. Not only were the eight Roosevelt electors chosen, but their majority Is fully 50,000 on the face of the returns thus far in. Practically the only balm the Taft leaders have is the re-nomination of Congressman P. P. Campbell, a staunch supporter of the administration in the third district. First returns Indicated a victory for H. M. Gray, progressive, but later returns wrecked his hopes. Gov. W. R. Stubbs defeated Senator Charles Curtis for re-election to the U. S. Senate by a safe majority. Stubbs has been Roosevelt's campaign man ager in Kansas. Arthur Caper of Topeka. Progressive Republican candidate for governor, won easily over Frank Ryan. Geo. II. Hodges, Democratic gubernatorial candidate, apaprently has been nominated over J. B. Billiard, who made a fight with re-submission of the prohibition question as the paramount issue. The Taft machine was rebuked In the first congressional district where Representative D. R. Anthony was defeated for re-nomination by Judge W. I. Stuart, the Progressive candidate. OKLAHOMA RESULTS. OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 7. Robert L. Owen has been re-nominated for the United States senate by a majority of from 25,000 to 50,000. according to primary returns received today.
