Gubernatorial Candidates to Speak Here
Saturday Night-Final Republican
Powwow, and Who win Float Into
Emptiness

From now until the polls close, on the
evening of Tuesday, November G. there is
going to be crusade, the effect OF which
will be death and destruction TO every
thing smacking OF Republicanism in this
neck of the woods.
That is, the work will be systematically
and well done, unless the boys grow over
confident of success and weary OF work
Shelby Democrats are not built that
way, and THE APPEAL, therefore, conf
IDENTITY announces that when the battle is
over Eaton, Taylor, Shaw, Wilson & Co.
will be political corpses, beyond any hope
OF future rcsuscitation.
Tonight the ball will be set in motion.
The Jacksonan club, after long period Of
inactivity, has arranged ward reorgani-
zntion meeting. Hcnccforth the motto
with members OF that organization is,
Business and that right M 10 the han.
die" II was announced that Col. George
CAN'T would address the club on the POI
litical issues Of the day, and interest was
accordingly aroused TO n high pitch.
Everyone who knows the colonel is we'll
aware Of his ability in the line OF soft and
convincing persuasvcness. Yesterday the
committee having the rally in charge
learned with regret that Col. CAN'T had
received an imperative call 10 jackson to
attend to a case in the supreme court, and
would therefore I've denied the privilege
and pleasure Of fulfilling his engagement
with them. To secure another capable OF
continuing the interest on such short
notice was matter Of great concern, but
a determined effort was made, and with
gratifying success Mr.. III. NJ. Patterson
agreed to step inlo.thc breach, and he will
hold IL intact. too Mr.. Patterson, al
though young man, has more than once
entertained and enlightened intelligent
audiences by skilllul handling Of politi'
cal issues.
After the speech Of Mr.. Patterson, the
executive and governing committees Of the
club will meet fot reorganization aud Ia
map out n plan Of campaign. All hands
arc urged TO be present ON time and to at
tend with minds made up that there tx Ia
be no foolishnes3 about the crusade. Re-
publicanism in Shelby county must go,
and under q weight that must eilectually
crush out its existence for ycaB 10 come.

Inspector Byrnes on Detectives.

Iwant to speak right here Of couple
of fallacies Of the popular mind inregard
TO the detective business. First, the old
idea Of setting thief to catch thief is
all nonsense. Why, you could not trust
your man; would have to have another
to watch him. No; you must have
thoroughly honest and reliable men. Of
course we sometimes get info nation
from one thief about another. bpt never
do we employ man who has ever been
a crook. The second popular faliacy is
that the detective is a regular variety
and lightning change man, who at will
undergoes Transformation Of appearance
and language, something Ike the DR..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde business; people
fancy that a collection Of wigs, whiskers,
mustache. and make up apparatus, to-
gcther with a wardrobe that would put a
variety actor to shame, is regular and
necessary part Of the outfit Of detective
bureau. That is all burcomhr. You get
that in dime novels and French detective
stories. Years ago. in foreign countries.
that kind Of thing was, perhaps. reSorted
TO, but never nowadays. The most a
man does here. perhaps, is 10 change his
clothes. Cleveland Leader.

Physical Training at Cornell.

''what is done in the way Of physical
trainingF
''Evcry freshman is examined when he
enters. by the doctor. and careful meas
urements taken Of him, his lungs tested,
his heart examined. his muscular power
tried. During the first two years of tho
course all the young men are required to
take physical training 'mder the direc-
ton of the professor Of physical culture.
During two terms Of the wear this con-
sists in military drill. In the winter term
they take gymnastic exercise. Certain
ones, who are found to be unequal TO this
in their entrance examination, are
treated by themselves, and perform exer-
cises prescribed by the professor for tho
purpose Of strengthening their weak
points. There are perhaps thirty Of these
Ia each class. They are called, in col
lege slang. the p VS. physical
wrecks. This compulsory physical
training under the personal direction Of
the professor is Of the greatest importance
and value, and the results of it are ad-
mirnblc.
"The young ladies have cymnastic ex-
ercise also. except those who are over 81
and these may takc II il they choose,
and as a matter If fact most Of them do.
or course there are some who are unable
20 take the same exercise ns the others,
and they are specially prescribed for.
"1he importance Of this compulsory
training Is easily seen. Whom The phys
ical culture il elective. as it is at Harvard,
Just those students who need it most do
not got Il; that is 10 say, as q general
rule. only those students wiliof their own
choice take up gymnaslic exercise and
pursue il regularly who are already in
pretty good physical condition, while the
awkward and the weak will be apt to
leave il alone. We have elective studies

Record Of Chlldren.s McIrht.

Mr.. Francis Galton, whose researches
on heredity have been so interesting and
important, started a few years ago Il Sc
ries of inquiries into the development Of
children in height, weight and strength,
at various ages. The trouble is that for
the materials he required to be of any
use, they must be carefully s.ftcd, and
even they would, for the most part, re-
main open 10 considerable doubt.
Galton can hardly have hoped, when
he invited the British paterfaInilias to
send in the statistics of family's
growth, that in regard 10 weight that
worthy hat usually unscientilc character
would take the necessary precautions.
One can see how little the AVERAGE father
of family is likely to he careful in such
matters, when one observes how careless
he is in taking the record OF his own
weight lie will take his weight on one
of those rather questionable nickel ma
chimes, and remark with q satisfied smile
that he has increased four or live pounds
in weight; without noticing that, per-
haps, his last weighing was taken Just
before lIeal on warm day, when he
was lightly clad, whereas the new weigh
ing has been taken soon after rather
full meal, and when he is warmly
dressed. 1t does not occur to him to
notice that couple of glasses Of water
add more than pound to the weight,
and full meal three or four pounds;
while suit such as a man wears on a
cold day will often weigh four or five
pounds more (without counting over
coat than the clothing suitable for a
warm day.-Richard A. Proctor
