Despite the bad weather large congre-
gYtio assembled mt the United Brethren
Church last night TO hear the lecture by
Dr. w. y. Bell of the Home and Frontier
Missionary Society with headquarters at
Dayton, Ohio, The exercises were opened
with prayer by Rev. Crovcll, after which
Dr. Bell was introduced. He announced
that the subject OF his lecture would be
the missionary work done by his church
in the different fields in which they have
operated and also would speak of the new
field that had of recent years received
considerable attention from their church,
Japan. Before beginning his lecture DR.
Bell sang solo entitled, Gold Pictures, {"

Watch Fred Clarke's quick, nervous, en-
ergetic movements on the ballfield and you
will easily understand the secret of his sue
cess as ball player. He never quits,
seems To enjoy the game for the game Itself,
and has instilled great deal of his spirit
into the other members of the Louisville
team Baltimore News.
Arlie Latham wants to be a League um
pire. lie would make a good one, and by
virtue Of his long connection with the game
he should have trial. There is nothing
that veteran ball players have open to them
except the position of umpire. and it would
lie the proper thing TO give the old-timers
chance when the opportunity offers.

favor that the men who first handled the
Irishman in this country, but who became
disguised with him in his first fight THAT
with Firzammons in New 0rieansl, are
now unanimous in the opinion that Maher
can wfdp sharkey.
Dan Lynch persists ia saying that the
sailor is not flour flushing" and that he
stands ready TO meet Maher at any dine
and place. Naturally Mr.. Lynch wants
that place to he Frisco, and its just as
natural that Peter should object decidedly
TO the Western town.
II Maher does go to Frisco lie Will be
very foolish not 10 insist upon an Eastern
man referceing the contest. Sam Austin
is, of course, the man for the job. Lynch
has said that Austin would suit him, and
II the cattle does take place, Austin it
should be. There as not a fairer, more
competent referee in this country, or any
other, FOR that matter, than Austin. Had
anyone el re but that arrogant, dominee ring
bundle OF ccnceit, Tom 0'Rourke, benin
charge at the Broadway A. c. last winter
Austin would not have ceased his duties as
referee for one day. His final reinstate-
ment, which was demanded by all fair
minced sports. was a complete vindicatfon
of his action in the first Dix on Erne con-
test.

The dedication Of the monument 10
Elijah p. Lovejoy at Alton, H., almost
sixty years after his death marks a Sig
niiicant phase OF the struggle for the abo-
lition of slavery. Lovejoy Is commonly
spoken OF as an early martyr to the cause
of abolition. In a certain sense ne was
But in far broader and deeper sense he
was martyr to a cause that transcribed
even the cause of negro emancipation, the
cause OF the freedom OF the press.
Prosecuted and threatened with assas-
sination in st. Louis, Lovejoy moved his
paper. the Observer. to Alton. Here his
presses were destroyed three times. and
he ordered fourth. lie was engaged IN
guarding this from destruction when he
was shot and killed. He had previously
made an appeal TO the people for that
freedom In the publication OF his ideas
that was guaranteed him by the constitu-
ton ard the laws.
No evil cause fights long against liberty
and right before ii finds Itself at war with
newspapers. No such instrument for the
confusion OF tyranny and wrong was ever
devised as the printing press. From the
time II first appeared public enemies Of
every description have made losing fight
against II. If the Missouri slave owners
could have demolished Lovetoy's news
paper they would have been satisfied. but
when they found tina. as long as Loveioy
lived there would be an anti-slavery Jour
nal at Alton. they were ready and willing
TO resort TO murder
But the ant'-slavery press survived the
attacks OF sixty years ago and the anti
corruption press will escape unframed
from the attacks OF today Every attack
serves more thoroughly TO convince the
people that freedom Of speech and OF the
press lie at thu foundation OF free govern

Popuiist Chairman Marion Butler. and is
incidentally calling on late Candidate
Bryan to get or the fence ard let the

harvest for Butler and Bryan, of playing

Gratis IN the hope OF keeping himself in line

would help another.
The smelling company does not come
