Rev. Vernon PAnson in speaking
on the subject of foreign missions,
before the Baptist Association in
Wilson, paid a glowing tribute to Mai.
I. L. Emry of Weldon. He spoke of
certain battle in the late war in which
the t1ag-bearer was shot down. Tom En-
~ seized the staff and raised the colors.
The staff was cut above his hand by
bullets and the flag fell, but Mr.. Emry
seized it again and carried it to an ad-
vanced position and held it there under
a most fearful tire. This, said MIR.
I'Anson, is what is needed lor mission
airy tields-men who will carry the
gospel flag and hold it hard in the face
Of the enemy.

In spite of the promises of the Wine
and Liquor dealers Association that
they would urge all members OF tnat
body to close their saloons to-day IN
stead of waiting until next Sunday, the
police in no wise relaxed their vigil

toned at the doors of all suspected
places.
Active preparations are being made
for the parade and demonstration 10
be held September 25 and 26 under the
auspices of the United Societies for
Liberal Sunday Laws. The societies
that have to this time agreed TO par
ticipate in the parade represent mem
bership of 10000. There will be diyl-
sions of singers, tnrners and schuetzen'
besides social, benevolent and trade
organizations.
An address to the public has been
issued by Otto Kempner, chairman OF
the committee on agitation, reciting
the efforts of the society to secure a
local option law from the last Legisla-
ture. 1t complains that the police
commission instead of constructing the
present Sunday statute in a liberal
spirit. tortures it into "a justification
of an oppressive police crusade against
personal rights and an invasion of the
constitutional guarantee of religious
liberty" and invites all citizens TO

Progress of the Bull Fights in Col

Cripple Creek, Colo, August 25.-
Another bull was killed in the arena at
Gillette to-day in the presence OF six
thousand people and the work was done
in the style of Spain and Mexico. The
first bull turned into the arena was an
exceedingly tame animal, even after
the darts were in him. He refused to
fight and the multitudes cried for a
new animal. Arizona Charley appear
ed to be equally disgusted and headed
the band of cowboys that drove the
bull into the arena. The next animal
made for his life, but it's battle was
quickly over. Chireta, the king of the
arena in not only Mexico but in Spain,
made two stabs at the animal and then
left him practically dead, but the Mex
leans with the red cloaks teased the
creature and made him dart at them.
One came within an ace of losing his
life. and there was great excitement in
consequence, especially among the lit

longed Not a few women tainted.

QUAY'S FIGHT
The Result Still in DOubt~BOth Sides
Claim They VIII Win, but Neither
Faction VIII Give Figures.

Harrisburg, Pa, August 2S.-Chair-
man Gilkeson, of the Republican State
Committee, has made up the roll of
delegates to the coming State Conven-
ton, which will meet on Wednesday
next. The list as prepared by Mr.
Gilkeson, does not differ materially
from those heretofore published
Among the changes made is that
Bradford county is allowed three dele
gates by Nh Gilkeson, instead of four,
as claimed, and the first district of
Berks county gets but TWO instead of
three. The list as issued does not indi-
cate who Will be dropped in the coun-
ties. II. T. NOrthrup is seated in Wyo-
ming instead of H. W. Bardweu All
the Hastings men are listed from the
first and fifth districts in Philadelphia

seems probable that the contest for

mittee will be carried into the courts
in the form of an action on behalf of
Senator Quay to compel Chairman
Gilkeson to surrender the books and
papers of the committee. The mem
bers of that body will hold a meeting
tomorrow at which a resolution will
be adopted requesting Mr.. Gilkeson to
attend and assist in the preparation Of
the roll of delegates. lie will almost
certainly refuse and then it is propOs-
ed that the committee elect Thomas
V. Cooper, Of Delaware county, tenn
porary chairman. Legal steps will
then be taken to compel Mr.. Gilkeson
to surrender the books and an audit
ing committee will be appointed to eX-
anime his accounts This programme
Will probably be carried out without
opposition, as il is the policy of the
Hastings people to ignore any action
the State Committee may take.
The city is rapidly filing up with
politicians from every part of the State

course of the Socialist poet, William
Morris, in refusing TO issue cheap edi,

people 10 whom they would naturally
appeal could enjoy them, said that, in
his opinion, Mr.. Morris did not deserve
the criticisms showered upon him.
He thought he might pursue the same
course under similar conditions. Mr..
