JESSIE WILSON THROWN FROM HORSE AND HURT Was Out Riding With Her Fiance, Who Remained in Ignorance of Accident Until Mount Dashes By. White River Junction, Vt., Aug 29.— —lt became known here that Miss Jessie Wilson, second daughter of the president, was injured by being thrown from her horse. Dr. Charles W. Worthen of this town was driving to visit a patient at Plainfield, N. H., when he came across the unconscious form of a young woman in a riding habit lying beside the road. He alighted from his carriage and took measures to revive her. While he was doing this a young man came galloping down the road and leaped from his horse. He told Doctor Worthen he was Francis B. Sayre, and that the patient was his fiancee, Miss Jessie Wilson. Mr. Sayre had been riding a little ahead, and knew nothing of the accident until the riderless horse dashed past him. Doctor Worthen applied remedies and after about half an hour Miss Wilson regained consciousness. Later she was taken to the home of Fred Smith, near by, and word was telephoned to the Cornish residence of President Wilson. The scene of the accident was on the New Hampshire side of the Connecticut river, just opposite the Vermont town of North Hartland. At Harlakenden, the Wilson summer home, it was said that Miss Wilson had received no serious injury, though she was still suffering somewhat from contusions. TRUCE SPURNED BY COLONEL Says G. O. P. Must Adopt Progressive Principles. Chicago, Aug. 27. —Theodore Roosevelt told 200 Chicago Progressives that he would sanction no amalgamation with the Republicans which involves a compromise. The former president stopped in Chicago on his return from the southwest long enough to speak at a luncheon at the Chicago Progressive club. “I see there has been a good deal of talk about getting together,” said Colonel Roosevelt. “This is the first opportunity I have had to answer these reports. “Other people can get together with us by adopting all of our principles; not part of them, but all. The Progressive party not only stands for a principle, but for a reality, and above everythnig else, abhors hypocrisy. When we said the people should rule, we meant it. The people must have the right to enact social justice legislation if they w ant it, no matter what the executive judiciary or legislatures say.” GOES THROUGH GATUN. LAKE.

Within a day or two, an announcement is expected of the mobilization of a large number of American troops along the southern frontier to enforce i neutrality in the traffic of arms and j munitions of war. HARRY THAW WINS AGAIN. Fugitive Slayer Safe From Being Sent to Nevy York. Sherbrooke, Que., Aug. 29.—Harry K. Thaw won three victories over the New York state authorities was locked in the Sherbrooke jail, immune for the time being from the Dominion immigration authorities, after having received an ovation from the townspeople of Sherbrooke that would have done honor to a prince of royal blood. The three points in which Thaw’s lawyers were successful in their first legal skirmish were: 1. New York state was denied the right to be party to the proceedings in court. 2. Counsel for the state failed in their efforts to have Thaw arraigned before a magistrate and the commitment on which he is held quashed. 3. Judge Globensky granted the plea of Thaw’s counsel for a discontinuance of the writ of habeas corpus which might have brought about his release. This remedied a strategic blunder made last week by Thaw’s attorneys, who apparently did not realize then that in seeking their dent’s release they were playing into the opposition’s hands.

PRESIDENT REFUSES TO ALTER CURRENCY BILL McAdoo Says There Is No Foundation for Report That Compromise Has Been Reached. Washington, Aug. 27. — President Wilson, Secretary McAdoo and the proponents of administration measures in congress are set against the changes affecting the vital principles in the measure suggested by the national conference of bankers that was held in Chicago last week. The president himself made this fact known to visitors Monday, and Secretary McAdoo, just returned from New York, expressed himself in a manner indicating that there was no foundation for the assumption of a compromise as the result of his conference in New York last Thursday with George M. Reynolds of Chicago, one of the leaders among the bankers who are striving to have the currency measure amended before enacted into law. Senator Owen, chairman of the senate committee on banking and currency, also gave out an interview in which he combated the resolutions adopted a" the Chicago bankers’ conference, and declared that the differences over the currency measure are mainly as to whether the government or the bankers shall control the currency system of the country. He compared control by the banker® to a fox’s control of a farmer's chicken yard. Paper based on agricultural products was placed on the same basis as commercial paper for banking purposes by an amendment to the currency bill adopted without a dissenting vote by the house Democratic caucus. The amendment, agreed .o by both the “insurgent” contingent and the banking and currency committee. also would extend the maturity of notes and bills admitted to discout under the amendment to ninety days instead of sixty days, as originally proposed.

The Draught of Fishes By REV. JAMES M GRAY. D D. D«aa <J Moody ln*utuio ci Chic

TEXT—“Launch out Info ts t». and let down your nets tor a draught " l.uhw 5:4.

'A f J:

The story of thn great draught of fishes is original to Luke’s gospel, and is one of the most beautiful of Its kind in the New Testament. Jesus was by the lake of Gennesaret, sometimes called the Sea of Galilee, and the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God. There were two boats

standing by the lake, but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. He entered into one, which was Simon’s, and asked him to thrust cut a little from the shore, and he sat down and taught the people. It was when he had left off speaking that he said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets.” Simon replied that he and his partners had toiled all night, and had taken nothing; but “nevertheless," said he, “at thy word I will let down the net.” And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes, so that their nets brake. And then they beckoned to those who were in the other boat to come. and help them, and as a matter of fact both the boats were so filled with fish that they began to sink. The effect on Peter was an overwhelming conviction of his sinfulness, and he said. “Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” Nor was he less astonished or impressed than the others who were with him. But Jesus comforted him by saying: “’Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.” “And when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all, and followed him.” (1.) We learn from this charming incident that Jesus is a good paymaster. He borrowed an empty fishing smack, and repaid the owner of it by filling it with fish! In one of his discourses to his disciples on another occasion he had said, “There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, ©r children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time; . . . And in the world to come eternal life.” In the present instance he seems to have been showing his disciples, and showing us as well, just what he meant by these words, and giving a demonstration of their truthfulness. (2.) We learn in the second place that Jesus is a -wise counsellor. He told these fishermen just where the fish were, and just where to let down their nets with the most beneficial results. We all need advice every day in our business affairs, our domestic affairs, and the countless problems that are coming up continually in our existence. Some go to clairvoyants, some to palmists and spiritualists for such advice, but others who know him go to the Lord their God. He has said in the 37th Psalm, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; . . . though he fall, he shall not be utterly east down.” George Muller, the saint of Bristol. England, wrote in the margin of- his Bible beside these verses the words, “His stops too.” In other words, he had experienced the fact that the “stops” of a good man were as much ordered by the Lord as his steps, and many another saint of God has proven this to be true. Think how both the “steps” and the “stops” of Joseph were ordered in the land of Egypt, and later on the “steps” and the “stops” of Daniel in the land of Babylon. These are two of the greatest statesmen the world has even known and they came to their greatness through their counselling with God. (3.) We learn also that Jesus Is a great benefactor. They who were simply fishers of fish now became fishers of men. What would Peter have amounted to had he remained in Capernaum? But what did he now become? Not only is his one of the three greatest names in the history of the Christian church, and not only is he now in felicity with his Lord and Master, but that same Lord and Master said to him and his fellow apostles, "Ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” Is this promise likely tc come true? Yes. just as certainly as the Bible is the word of God, and Jesus Christ Is the Son of God. But there are corresponding promises for all who know the true God and his Son. Jesus Christ, and who serve and trust him in the life of faith. He lifts the beggar from the dunghill to sit him among princes, an experience that has come to many a child of God in ail the centuries long. But what was the attitude of. Peter that brought all this to pass in his case? The answer is simply, yieldedness of will. Christ asked him for his boat and he gave it to him; he told him to launch out into the deep for a draught and he launched out; when he was satisfied with the material result, he was asked to follow Jesus, and he left all and followed him. To apply this to ourselves, we are to remember that the first step in the yielding of our will is the acceptance of Jesus Christ as dur Saviour and the public confession of him as our Lord. This should be definite, intelligent and irreversible on our part, trusting God to fulfill hi# word as written in the Gospel of John, 1:12 and 14.

FIGHTING BY JERSEY BOYS Many Illuminating Sid© Lights on Operations of Army of Potomac After Crossing Rapidan. John P. Beech, sergeant, Co. B, 4th N. J„ First Brigade, First Division. Sixth Corps, Trenton, N. J., writes the--National Tribune; “1 have been wondering if there was a Jersey brigade in that magnificent Sixth corps and whether they took any part at the Wilderness or Spotsylvania, as no mention was made of them. May 5 the 4th N. J., on the extreme right of the Sixth corps, alone prevented the Sixth corps from bein« flanked while getting into position. We drove them back, capturing a number of rebel# and receiving the congratulations of our beloved General Sedgwick. Later in the day, with the 6th Md., we drove them back by a gallant bayonet charge clear to their works. In a little pamphlet of the 15th N. J., Colonel Campbell claims his regiment was the only one in the Sixth corps to go over the works at the Angle, but in this he is in error, as the 4th N. J. was the first to charge through the abalis, the 15th N. J. being on our right. Os 35 men my company (B) lost 20 men, five of whom were killed, 15 wounded, two of whom were captured. Both commissioned officers. Captain Johnson and Lieutenant Brooks, were wounded, a loss of about 60 per cent. “As Metcalf’s battery went into position horses and men began to go down. We had opened a heavy fire upon the enemy, but it seemed as if his section was in danger of being captured or destroyed. Realizing its condition, I threw my musket down, and appealed to Capt. Howard Ring, Co. C, who lay near me, and the only commissioned officer 1 saw. to tell some of the men to get up and helo» work the guns. I started at serve ammunition. At this time there were but four rounds of canister left. I carried the word to the cJEbeer, and his orders were to use sh-'Il -wWs onesecond fuse. Sergt. Wm. E.

When Lieutenant Metcalf &.’■*<s he were unable to work the guns they withdrew, and 1 rejoined wy regl ment. “Your narrative says the went into position with the Vermont * Brigade. The battery went into position on the right of Upton's Second brigade and left of the Jersey brigade of the First division. Sergeant Lines . says he was assisted in firing the last four rounds by an officei- of the 95tit Pa. and a Vermont officer, both of whom were shot. There werd others who assisted, for Captain Gaul, who succeeded to command after. Colonel Ewing was wounded, says' Captain Ring and Peter S. Shemelia and others of the regiment whose names he does not remember responded, and some of them were killed and wounded around the guns. “For my conduct on that day I was recommended by Colonel Gaul, Colonel Hufty and Captain Howard for a medal of honor, which I now hold. Captain Gaul said, in recommending mo for the honor, that it seemed certain death to serve the gun's. It makes me shiver to this day when 1 think of the missile-laden air that day. My regiment alone lost about 100 men that day and the 15th N. J.s loss was very heavy, more so ttian the other regiments of the brigade. The field presented a sickening sight; dead lay all around and blood and rain mingled. Where Metcalf was in position horses E.nd men lay in heaps, literally torn to pieces by bullets.” Lincoln Tells Story. “It seems to me,” remarked the' president one day, while reading over some of the appealing telegrams sent to the war deparimenUby General McClellan. “that McClellan has been wandering around and has sort of got lost. He’s been hollering for help ever since he went south—wants somebody to come to his deliverance, and get him out of the place he’s got Into. “He reminds me .of the story of a man out in Illinois who, in company with a number of friends, visited the. state penitentiary. They wandered all through the institution, and saw everything, but just about the time to depart this particular man became separated, from his friends, ami couldn’t find his way out. “He roamed up and down one corridor after another, becoming more desperate all the time, when at last he came across a convict who was looking out from between the bars of his cell door.
