WILSON IS OVERRULED. i PRINCETON. N. J.. Oct. 16. Gov. Woodrow Wilson tried today to get ut of his future speaking engagements because of the attempted assassination-of Col. Roosevelt, but failed and will leave for Virginia tonight. The governor spent the forenoon in telephone communication with Democratic leaders in New York but the latter pointed out that Mb failure to carry out his engagements would unean a big monetary loss and disap pointment to thousands of people.

Theodore Roosevelt, suffering from a bullet wound inflicted by a "would-be assassin, woke at 6:20 o'clock this morning. "I feel line" was his greeting to the might nurse, Miss Margaret Fitzgerald. The Colonel had been sleeping since )f:16 o'clock. ; When he awoke his temperature was 8.6 normal; his respiration 20 and is pulse, 74. The colonel slept peacefuly most of jthemight. He awakened about 2 o'clock lend asked for a book. Explaining to (NuTBe Fltsgerald that he had always fbeen a light sleeper, he switched on this light and began to read. Shortly after 3 o'clock he turned the light off leaving that he felt drowsy. A few minJutes later he was sleeping. ' His physicians visited him frequentBy during the night. They were greatly pleased at his condition. The colIDnel, they said slept naturally showing Ino signs of the fever dreaded as the leign of possible infection from his wound. Only once during the night was there an increase in temperature and that was only one degree above normal. It quickly subsided. Pleases The Doctors, i The colonel's condition when .he awoke this morning was exceptionally pleasing to the doctors. With pulse temperature and respiration normal they believe that danger of infection Is virtually passed. Every precaution however, will be maintained throughout the day. If infection develops it is expected to manifest itself by tonight. To be absolutely on the safe side the doctors last night injected antitoxlne serum to guard against lockjaw. This, they say, may have accounted for the slight increase in temperature. With the physicians who have been attending the colonel here he made a careful comparison of the plates made yesterday morning after the patient had been taken to Mercy hospital. It rwas discovered that the bullet had not shifted its position since the first plates were made and this was considered a very favorable sign by the doctors. Unless the bullet causes irritation operation for the time at least will be abandoned and it is possible that Col. Roosevelt may carry the bit of lead for the rest of his life. As soon as the colonel was fully awake this morning he was given a sponge bath. After that he said he was hungry. The sleep and the bath he 6aid, both helped his appetite. "That last sleep I had and this bath have given me a craving for something more than I can get here," he told the nurse. "But if you will jury hurry some breakfast it will do for the time being." Miss Fitzgerald ordered eggs, bacon, tea and buttered toast for the colonel. Wanted Strong boy over 16 to look after furnace and learn the business. Railroad Store. .COFFEE BERRIES. Round Kernels Are Stronger and Richer Than Flat Ones. Everybody is more or less familiar i with the term "male berry" applied to coffee. The term refers to the form and style, not the sex. An examination of any kind of coffee will show that about one kernel in every twenty-five is quite round, like a bean, while all the others are flat on one side, like the half of a split bean. These round or male berries are always found on the young, vigorous, new wood of the previous year's growth at the end of the branches. The old wood produces flat berries only. Each "pod" or fruit of the coffee tree contains either two common flat berries or but one round one. The ubstance of the fruit in the one case all goes into the single male berry, and In the other It la divided among two Cat ones. This undoubtedly accounts for the greater strength and richness of the male berry. In private plantations, where the trees are carefully pruned end cared for and the ground well cultivated and fertilized, the coffee Is always of finer quality and the proportion of male berries is larger. The round berries may be seen In all kinds of coffee, Rio, Ceylon, Maracaibo. Mocha and other varieties contain them as well as the Java. Exchange. Getting Used to It.

According to the story O'Brien went to Manager Sahl Sunday night and asked to pitch Monday. Stahl consented despite Wood's pleas to work Monday and "finish it up." After the game Wood is said to have gone to O'Brien and remarked "if it hadn't been for your bum work we would have had the series cinched and the money in our pockets." O'Brien swung his fist on Wood's jaw and "Smoky" Joe went down, it is said, and Catcher Carrigan, who was standing nearby then floored O'Brien. President James McAleer, of the Boston Americans denied the truth of the story today. THE BRITISH MUSEUM. Care With Which It Is Guarded From Fire and Thieves. It is very doubtful whether the British museum could ever be burned down. It is more likely to be swamped first. There is enough water stored there in tanks to last for many days' continuous pumping Id case by any chance the ordinary supply gave out Every policeman on the premises, too, is also a fireman, being especially trained before he takes up his duties. There is not a nook or corner in the remotest part of the building which could not be deluged in two minutes if necessity arose. Not ouly is there little chance of the museum itself being burned down, but also any building near it. for that matter, for the museum looks after them, too, hardly less carefully. Thieves' have just about as much j chance as fire has. Immediately after I closing every gallery and every room in the building is gone through, searchj ed and locked up, and then the whole process is repeated again an hour later, this precaution being directed against fire rather than thieves. It is a full hour's bard work merely to lock or unlock all the doors in the building. Pearson's Weekly. Saved Ann a Ducking. A colonial shrew who was threatened with the ducking stool was once saved by this plea: "You wish to duck Ann Willott to cure her!" herdefender declared. "Now, if she be not cured where Ls the gain in ducking her? And if she be cured all the women who now keep a guard over their tongues through distaste to be likened to such a knovn, notorious and contemptible scold as Ann will do so no longer; but, although it is not like any should become such as she,

CHRISTIAN BOARDS BEGAN SESSIONS i International Convention of Disciples of Christ Meets at Louisville.. Members of the Christian church are interested in the controversy which is waging in the international The Rev. S. W. Traum, pastor of the First Christian church, who Is reporting the proceedings of the convention for a Cincinnati religious Journal, is opposed to the change, believing that it will concentrate power into the hands of a few men and thus destroy the spirit and form of the Christian church. Mrs. J. A. Walls and Miss Margaret Winsor, of the local Christian church, left for Louisville today to attend the meeting, and Dr. J. A. Walls will leave tomorrow. The Rev. A. B. Philputt, of Indianapolis, is one Hoosier whose part of the program will command great attention and interest. As chairman of a committee of seven, appointed several years ago, Dr. Philputt will submit a report which will favor the unification of the different missionary boards and the making of the annual conventions delegate conventions. Opposition has developed to this plan and a discussion of Dr. Philputt's report is expected. Dr. Philputt will speak Wednesday afternoon at the Session Of the brotherhood. Board Meeting Held.

GIANTS FAVORITES IN BETTING TODAY New York Team Was Confident of Winning Deciding Game.

(National News Association) BOSTON, Oct. 16. Favored in the betting and from every angle of baseball reasoning the New York Giants went to Fenway Park today supremely confident of victory over the IledSox in the deciding battle of the most thrilling and bitterly fought world's series battle in baseball historyLooked upon as hopeless contenders forty-eight hours ago when the count stood 3 to 1 against them, the Giants by virtue of their two slashing victories which tied the count, have seemingly dazed and routed their rivals and have become imbued with a dash and a confidence that threatens to sweep everything before it. And yet the final game today the eighth gives promise of being the most brilliant and desperately fought of the entire series. Approximately $30,000 of players earnings hangs in the balance, a difference of about $1,- j 300 each between the awards to the i winning and losing players. Matthewson to Work. Christy Matthewson, the hero of more than 500 battles, the man who never failed in a crucial moment of nearly 13 years of diamond warfare, will be the Giant slabman. And Matty claims that he never M as better in his life, never more confident than when he donned his uniform today. Opposed to him with either Bedient, the youngster who pitched and won Saturday's marvelous game or j "Smoky" Joe Wood who, after winning two games from the National leaguers j met his Waterloo yesterday, driven from the box in the first inning by a fusillade of six runs and seven hits the worst beating ever given to a star j twirler in the world's series battle. j But baseball dopesters figured Wood ' far better for this last game than , Bedient. They said that the beating ! he got yesterday was the best thing j that had happened the little Btar because it took away his over confidence and would cause him to twirl the best j and most careful game in bis career, j Few believe that Bedient who pitch ed a 3-hit game Saturday can repeat. Stahl Noncommital. Stahl was noncommital over his slab selection prior to leaving for the ball park. He spent a sleepless night in a vain effort to reach a conclusion as to whom he should pit against the Giants today but decided he would not make a decision until after watching Bedient and Wood in the "warming up" process. The players of both teams were keyed to the highest tension. Many of them were out of bed soon after daybreak, driven from their slumbers by sheer nervousness. It was apparent that the Giants battered the Red Sox into a defensive position and that the nervousness of the Red Sox was akin to the fear that comes when one is placed in such a position, while the Giants, cheerful and optimistic because of their two victories were eager for the game to start. The great fight for the world's championship has transformed Boston from a peaceful dignified community to a frenzied, baseball crazy multitude. Hub City fold talked, thought and listened to nothing but baseball. Bankers swapped comments with newsboys and haughty blue-blooded society women "chinned" with their chauffeurs for the latest dope on the game. The wheels of industry halted in their humming while the boss and the employe watched feverishly for the inning by inning score. The day dawned clear and beautii ful witn a tmge 0f wintryness in the ajr gut it had no effect on the baseball ,iintrrv fnno Thminrfa nt thorn were in line when the bleacher and unreserved grandstand gates were standing space in Fenway Park.

A woman whose throat had troubled her for a long time, says a writer In the Philadelphia Ledger, grew impatient at the slow progress she was making and made complaint to her doctor, who said: "Madam, I can never cure you of this throat trouble unless you stop talking and give your throat a complete rest' "But, doctor," objected the patient, "I'm Tory careful what I say. I nvet nse harsh language or anything of that kind."

LEE WON HIS LOVE A Federal Soldier's Change ef Heart en Gettysburg Battlefield. I was in the battle of Gettysburg myself, and an Incident occurred there which largely changed my views of the southern people. I had been the most bitter anti-southern man and fought and cursed the Confederacy desperately. I could see nothing good In any of them. The last day of the fight I was badly wounded. A ball shattered my left leg. I lay on the ground not far from Cemetery ridge, and as General Lee ordered his retreat he and his officers rode near me. As they came along I recognized him, and. though faint from exposure and loss of blood, I raist-J up my hands, looked Lee in tbe face and shouted as loud as 1 could, "Hurrah for the Union:" The general heard me, looked, stopped his horse, dismounted and came toward me. I confess that 1 thought be meant to kill me. But as he came up he looked down at me with such a sad expression upon his face that all fear left me, and I wondered what he was about. He extended his hand to me and, grasping it firmly and looking right into my eyes, said. "My son, I hope you will soon be well. If I live a thousand years I shall never forget the expression of General Lee's face. There he was, defeated, retiring from a field that had cost him and his cause almost their last hope, and yet he stopjed to say words like those to a wounded soldier of the opposition who had taunted him as he passed by. As soon as the general had left me I cried myself to sleep there upon the bloody ground. Gamaliel Bradford, Jr., in Atlantic.

CHINESE ART. " Materials the Painter Uses and His Methods of Work. Chinese painting is very frequently described as calligraphic that is to say. closely allied to or derived from handwriting. Inasmuch as Chinese handwriting is brush work of a high order, it follows that every Chinese who can write well has the making of a skilled mechanical artist in black and white. He has a fine delicacy and flexibility of touch, so that, if he possesses any bent for transferring to paper representations of objects of nature or the imagination, he would be expected to produce work having a special character. The nature of the material used, such as slightly absorbent paper and sized silk and thin water color, also leads to work having a special character. A member of any western race would have great difficulty in painting a picture on a kind of blotting paper with a Chinese pen filled with thin watery pigment. These characters, however, give the Chinese painting its chief charm. Birds and flowers and landscapes and figures are put In once and for all with no possibility of subsequent touching up. They are painted with unerring strokes of. the brush, and the result is a clean, vigorous and living picture. The Chinese artist, as a rule, spends a long time thinking out his picture and then rapidly dashes it in. Chicago News. Tavern and Loan Office. The time honored London tavern, the Castle, at Cowcross and Farringdon streets, enjoys the unique distinction of being also a fully licensed pledge shop. Any one may here negotiate a loan upon his personal belongings without being under the necessity of first calling for refreshments. This strange combination of business dates from the reign of George IV., who. after attending a cockfight at Hockley-ln-tbe-Hole. applied to the landlord of the Castle for a temporary accommodation on the security of his watch and chain. By royal warrant a few days later he invested that obliging boniface with the right of advancing money on pledges, and from that time down to the present a pawnbroker's license has been annually granted to the Castle. This hostelry Is mentioned once or twice by Dickens in his novels. London Answers. The North Polo. The class was just beginning tbs study of geography.

HEAVY TONNAGE IS BEING JIOVED FAST But the Demand for Freight Cars Is Unquenchable, Officials State.

The heavy freight tonnage which the Pennsylvania railroad is handling at present is being moved with un- j precedented rapidity, but according to local officials pf that road, the demand far car set-ms unquenchable The Pennsylvania is spending enormous , sums ot money tc provide equipment ' and to ktpp the present equipment in j good repair, yet new cars and those from the company's own shops are i swallowed up at once. j It is significant to learn what the Pennsylvania is doing to preclude the ; possibility of a car shortage on its j lines when the heaviest Fall traffic j is offered for movement. Ii 1910 the total freight car equip- j ment cf all the railroads in the United Slates was 2.297,620 cars. Of these. J the Pennsylvania System Kast and I WeBt of Pittsburg and Erie held by t ownership or lease 263,039 more than J 11 per cent of the total. The entire railroad freight car equip- j ment ot tne united states inreasea SS8.148 cars from 1901 to 1910. inclusive. Of this increase the Pennsylvania system supplied more than 8 per cent. It is thus seen that the company provides more than 11 per cent of the freight equipment, and in the past ten years has provided over 8 per cent, of the increase in the numberof cars. So eager has the Pennsylvania railroad been to anticipate the demands of its traffic that since January 1, 1912 it has ordered 12,817 cars to be delivered as soon as they can be turned out of the shops. To insure shippers on its lines ade quate equipment for handling business, the company is waging an active campaign to get the greatest possible service out of each of the 263,990 freight carB owned by the system. One of the Pennsylvania's precautions against car shortage is to prevent, as much as possible, the holding of loaded cars at sea ports. The moment notice is received of an accumulation of cars loaded with freight for export, quick steps are taken to have the cars released at the earliest possible time. This is only one of the expedients employed by the Pennsylvania railroad; in cases where loaded cars accumulate because of free stor age time in warehouses, new rules are made to keep traffic moving through the warehouses, thereby permitting the prompt unloading of cars. In addition to requesting shippers to load and unload cars promptly, and to load them to capacity, the Railroad has announced that unusual efforts were heing made to reduce the amount of equipment awaiting repairs and to complete unfinished work on new cars and locomotives. There are at present approximately 27,000 employes engaged on the rush order to put all cars and locomotives in A-l shape, and to get them out on the road so that patrons can have the advantage of their use. In the Pennsylvania's various shops, 11,500 men are repairing freight cars and 1.225 are building new ones; more than 10,000 are repairing locomotives while 1,350 are constructing new ones. Some 2,800 men are working on passenger equipment. The Pennsylvania's agents are endeavoring to induce shippers to move all traffic at the earliest possible time in order to preclude any danger of congestion. Five years ago the Pennsylvania railroad, as well as other railroads of the country, suffered very extraordinary car shortage, and it was all the Management could do to handle the traffic with the existing facilities.

the past seven or eight years tor improvement in yards and terminals, and low grade lines, are now bearing fruit in the ability the company enjoys to move its freight tonnage with the utmost freedom, and efforts are now being msde to secure the co-operation of shippers so that the most may be made of these facilities by securing the greatest mileage and loading out of each freight car owned by the; railroads.
