his millions testify, and he OCCASIONALLY
mixes his religion with his business
The following very good story is told
on him.
A group of reporters, who had been
assigned to report the services at Beth
any Church last Sunday, ilocked about
Mr.. Wanamaker at their conclusion In
order TO have a certain point explained.
In the midst Of their conversation an
old lady of the church came up. When
she learned the young men were report
ers she exclaimed in aloud voice;
"You can't believe word you and in
the newspapers"
"Oh, yes, you can" interrupted Mr..
Wanamaker, quickly.
aWhat can you believer" asked the
old lady in an incredulous manner.
"My advertisement" exclaimed the
Postmaster General, with q smile Of
triumph.

publican journals Of the state, had some
very pronounced articles fayoring bal
lot reform before their recent legisla'
ture killed the projected Australian
system In the Senate, Since that time
they have been very quiet on the point,
and II is now seen that their state
convention now In session en-.
tirely ignores this question In order to
cover up the falings Of their last legls'
lature. II 10 to be hoped that the Demo-
cratic convention 10 be held In August,

reform. II they do, II Is safe to predict
that the honest voters Of the state will

IL will forever stop the purchasing Of
votes In Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo,
Dayton and last but not least, Canton.
Indeed, we have II by good authority,
that not less than $4,000 has been used
in this congressional district alone to
debauch and corrupt voters. Let us
have an honest vote, fair count, and no
more peddlug Of tickets at the polls.
All true citizens are wanting this re-
form in Ohio, and the Democratic party
is in good position TO assure the peo-
pie Of having II.

on his part to keep out of that conven'

The Fight at the Club
Rooms Tonight.
THE LAUTER[O DEFALCATION.
The Developments in the Case Yes.
terday-The Grand Jury Has
Not Met.

The fight to finish between the
middle weights Joe Ellingsworth and
Denny Kelleher, to take place at the
Southern California Athletic Club rooms
tonight, is attracting much attention,
and if the men do what their records
promise, the meeting will be the most
interesting that has ever taken place in
Los Angeles. Both men will weigh in at
about l55 pounds. Kelleher will come
up from Santa Monica this afternoon,
and Ellingsworth will meet him at the
club rooms at between and O'Clock,
when their weights will be taken.
Pete Mccoy, the well-known middle
weight, will second Kelleher, and will be
assisted by Tom Savage and Geo. Durkee.
Ed Cuffe will second Ellingsworth, and
Jack Sullivan and Tommy Danforth, the
lightweight, will assist. Jack Perry will
referee the fight, and Theo. Metzler will
keep time for the club. The men will
enter the ring at 9 O'Clock, sharp.
Pools commenced selling last night ct
Rodman's, with neither man especially
in favor. Kelleher's hackers soon proved
more numerous, however, and the odds
soon went ten to eight against Ellings-
worth. Considerable money is up on the
event, and great interest is felt in it's
outcome in the East, in Boston especially.
A number of eastern papers have ordered
reports of the fight, and the club will
obtain good deal of advertisement
through the event.
