passed into the higher life yesterday

his kind and regarded all the city as
belonging to his parish and having a
share in his interest. A man OF ster-

HOW TO SAVE THE BOYS
HON. HALE JOHNSON SPEAKS ON
THE EVILS OF THE LIQUOR
TRAFFIC.

HON. HALE JOHNSON SPEAKS ON
THE EVILS OF THE LIQUOR
TRAFFIC.
The Prohibitionists Of this city were
addressed by Hon. Hale Johnson, vice
presidential candidate on the Prohibi-
ton ticket, in the Builders Exchange
Saturday evening
The meeting was we'll attended. The
meeting was called to order by George
w. Todd. Rev. j. II. Amos made the
opening prayer, and the league quartet
rendered several selections.
Daniel Green, the candidate for gov
ernor. was introduced, and after a few
remarks on the issues of the campaign
and the evils of rum, introduced the
speaker of the evening. Mr.. Johnson
said that the saloons of this country
continue to waste every year some ST.
200, 100000, and the people get in re-
turn distress, misery, pauperism and
crime. The courts and statisticians
unite in saying that so to 80 per cent.
of all crime comes directly from the
drink habit. There is nothing that the
saloons fear.
Eight years ago it was the tariff
question; twelve years ago it was the
same and now it is something else-the
free coinage Of silver. The people OF
the West look on the people of the
East as robbers, and the people of the
East regard the West in the same
light. During all these years OF tur-
moil and argument, this great
question of the liquor traffic
has not been settled, and never will
Every drunkard in this country is the
legitimate growth of the saloon.
Mr.. Johnson spoke at the First
Presbyterian Church last evening.

THE GREAT RUSSIAN MINIS TER
PASSES AWAY.
Prince IObanotf- KOStOvoski Was in the
Presence &! the Car When He Died-it
Upsets ALI Possibilities of Conference
With Foreign Ministers.

LoraoH, Aug. 31.-A dispatch from
Kieff says that Prince Lobanoff- Rosto.
voski, Russian minister of foreign af-
fairs, died suddenly while travelling
from Vienna to that place.
Prince Lobanoff- Rostovoski was in
the company of the car at the time of
his death and his demise was wholly
without warning.
The news of the death of the prince
according to the dispatch, caused great
sorrow throughout Russia. Besides his
political work Prince Lobanoff- Rosto-
voski devoted his leisure hours to study
and to the work of a Russian history.
The tour which he had planned to take
with the car through the countries of
western Europe was expected to be
most far reaching in results affecting
the settlement of the eastern question.
Francis Joseph paid Prince Loban-
off-Rostovoski the highest honors dur
ing the recent visit to the car to Wen
ma and his death at the present juno
ture is regarded as most dramatic and
important event, upsetting as it does
all possibilities Of conference between
the foreign ministers of the great pow
ers and compelling the car to change
the plans concerning his tour through
Germany, France and England.

Workers who loved the same girl, after
many mutual recriminations decided
both of them being adopts at various
athletic sports, to run a hundred-yard
dash for this desirable young woman
the winner to have the exclusive right
to her affections. The girl who seemed
herself undecided as to which she nre-
ferred, agreed to this novel contest and
even stipulated the pleasure of being
present. During the race she bestowed
her applause impartially on both con-
lestants, and at the close expressed her
regrets to the loser as the perspiring
victor clasped her in his brawny arms.
All this took place at Ridgewood, q
popular resort, before large and ad-

ner and his hard-won bride led the
