The ohsriot race by the Fosnaught com
biDation was one thing that pleased every
body. The woman won the race and
was given hearty ovation. The hurdle
race was also pleasing event. On the
first half one Of the horses got beyond
control of the rider and bolted for the
gate leading to the stables. Finding it
closed the animal jumped the fenca,
falling and throwiug the rider. Neither
was II iured. In jumping the hurdle in
front Of the grand stand the horse tripped
and fell again, throwing his rider, but
fortunately he escaped injury, got up,
secured the horse and rode to the barn
amid great applause.
The fair was clcsod with farmer 5
race with three entries: Prince, by Wag-
ner; George Douglass, by Harry Smith,
and Jack, by n. Baldwin. This was a
half-mile dash, best two in three.
Smith quit after the first heat, leaving
the race to Prince and Jack. Jack had
but little trouble in winning the race in
straight heats.

Lafayette's Famous visit.

Jean Fraley Hallowell, who writes
in the April Ladies' Home Journal of
@When Lafayette Rode Into Phila-
delphia," says that it is difficult to
understand at this late day what a
furore Of excitement passed over this
country when Lafayette arrived
once more in America. The visit is
a historic event to be remembered
while memory endures. During
President Monroe's second sdmlnis-
tration the United States extended
it's invitation to Lafayette. He ar
rived at Staten Island on August Is,
Sunday 1924, accompanied by his
son, George Washington Lafayette.
and also by his son-in.law. A for
NAL reception took place on the fol.
lowing day-the first fruits of the
most abundant harvest of welcome
which Lafayette was to receive dur.
ing his year of travel through the
United States.
Lafayette was 81 years old when he
visited America as the nations guest,
and carried his years lightly. His
head vas shaped like that of Burns
He had Il high forehead, long, aqui
line nose and a rather thin face. His
hair "a sandy and quite plentiful.
His eyes were dark gray, restless and
twinklmg; his eyebrows. light in
color, but heavily marked. His
m nth WIS firm and his lips smiled
courteously as the holiday crowd as
sembled to do him honor. The gen
eral was not very tall, but well made
His face was distinctly pleasant, and
its expression was an odd mixture of
shrewdness, decision and gay good
humor. His costume was a swal-
lowtailed coat and trousers of dark
brown, with a great display Of white
waistcoat and neckcloth. A bunch
Of seals hung from the broad black
ribbon at his waist. Over his Shout
ders hung u cloth riding cloak,
greenish blue in color and lined with
red.

LOOKS LIKE a LEAR.
"A Diminutive Animal That You Can
Find in Water.

He really looks very much like a bear,
though you must put him under a pow
erful microscope to see the reSem-
blance, says Tid-Bits. The extraor-
binary thing, however, about this Tiny
creature is that he is found in the gut
tiers of houses, where he. Is at one time
dry as dust and scorched by the blaz-
ing sun, at another active and full OF
life under a refreshing shower of rain.
The water bear is one of the Rotifer
animalcules, and is of all of them the
most capable of standing any extreme
of temperature without giving up the
ghost. He may he left dried up for
months, even years. and yet on being
put into water will expand and begin
moving about and feeding vigorously.
Although he cannot stand boiling wa
ter, he will live in dry heat at a faq
higher temperature, ever up to 2G0 deg.
Fahrenheit One has actually been
kept in for 80 days with sui
phuric acid and chloride of calcium
without losing his capability of revivi-
~fication. ..
AS for the reason why, it SCENE the
little beasts bodies are chiefly com
posed of albumen, which, it is we'll
known, will stand:a very high tempeTa-
ture without losing it's solubility. Then.
too, they are provided with two skins,
III over the other, and these skins
are wonderfully tough and elastic.
The water bear has the scientific
name of Tardigrada, because he takes
life 81 easy. He is always fat ond
plump;: and spends his waking periods
in constantly grabbing with his four
pair of legs among whatever rubbish
comes in his way. Having eyes, brain
md a nervous system, ne is much ahead
of his tribe, and is altogether m of the
most interesting and amusing little ami
mails known to science.

According to the Brooklyn Eagle if
Spain had kept her wood she might

when her woods we're cut away she
lost her springs and rivers; Herewith
che lost her arms and means of liveli-
hood; she lost with food and wealth
her schools and arts;, her population
diminished, her initiative disappear.
I'D; therefore she is today a weak ma

TRUE DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES,

q In setting forth what true denioc-
racy is Mr.. Cleveland says that ~above
all things it @lnsists that the money
of the people should be SQUAD and
stable, neither shriveiing in pur ;has-
ing power III the hands Of the poor.
nor by it's uncertain value driving en-
terprise and productive energy into
hiding. =" This is true, IS tar as 1t
goes Democracy, above adj things,
insists That the money ny mean. of
which the people make their changes
shall not APPRECIATE in value to such
an extent us to double Iht II debts
to such an extent as to cause the pro-
ducts Of their labor to. shrivel and
shrink in value in their hands until
they are unable to buy enough money
with them to pay their debts and tax
e6. Democracy insists that it is far
better for the prosperity Of the coun.
try. for the purchasing power of mon
ey to "shivel" tn IN it Ii for the pur-
chasing power of the products Of the
peoples labor to shrink.
We have seen what an unstabI. and
unsound dollar has done for the peu-
pie even during Mr. C~leveland's adj
ministration. 1t has resulted in the
prostitution OF trade, the paralysis of
business and the destruction of mil
lions of values, all because the value
Of the unsound and unstable dollar
has been increasing in purchasing
power. while the products Of the PEG
pies labor have been decreasing in
price. Democracy Is as fair to the
debtor and the producer as 1T is to the
owning Of capital loaned or invested.
Its whole mission is one of Justice!
1t IL not true that IA rise in general
prices to the level Of 1873 would work
injustice to any class. Those who
are profitng by the shrinkage il the
d~ebt-paying and purchasing power Of
the products of human labor have no
right 10 such an advantage, for it is
I'm advantage that works overwhelm-
ing injustice to the people, and, in
deed, to all classes.
We are very glad that Mr.. Cleve-
land made his speech. For the first
time in his public career he takes his
true position; for even through the
fog i'll which his ideas are enveloped
people can e that he has no SYM
pathy whatever with the fundamen-
tai principals Of democracy. He may
not be a republican, but he is an anti
democrat. His associations and his
sympathies are all with the small
class that is enrichmg itself ut the ex-
pense of the peoples prosperity.-At-
lanta Constit ution.

ONE NEW WOMAN.
Miss Gertrude VI. Allen, of Denver, Is
Charged with Many Grimes.

Hartford Times
Hiss Gertrude NJ. Allen, who has been in
dicted at Denver for making false returns
while acting as a judge of election in one Of
the precincts of that city, is the kind of
woman who gives the whole class a bad
name. She is we'll educated and has been
very prominent in Republican politics in
Denver Now that she has been indicted
the story of her life is coming out II is
told in a press dispatch from Lansing
Mich, where she used to live, and as pub
lished, without apparent fear of cOntradc-
ton includes such trifleS as negotiating
forged notes, DESERVING her husband TO live
with another man. and of robbery OF an
employer. She came of a good family, and
was married at an early age TO a man
named Whitaker, who subsequently OBJ
tained a divorce, sitter she ran away from
him, as above noted. On the granting Of
the divorce she resumed her maiden name.
This was about seven years ago. She went
to Colorado, where the custom of making
women political officers gave her oDDor-
tunities for pushing herself into promi-
hence She became ordinance clerk i'm the
city clerks office and an active politician.
AS such she was made one of the judges or
elections, and-still in the same character
She is supposed TO have helped faisify the
returns Her own story is that she merely
recorded votes as called off by others ana
is not responsible if too many were called.
The grand jury declines to accept this eX-
PLANTATION, and has found true bill against
her, apparently on two counts. although
the language of the dispatch is not per-
fectly clear on this point.

NOT BARRED By ALIEN ACT.
Canada Is Not Likely to Enforce the
Law Against Americans.


NEW YORK, July 24-SecretaTy of State
sherman, who was here yesterday on his
way To Amagansett, Long Island. was
asked what he thought of the reports that
the Canadian governments proposed to en-
force the alien act against American min
ers now focking to the Klondyke gold
fields.
Il don't know said the secretary. I'VE
have an alien law of our own. We have
never enforced it against gold miners.
Canadian citizens have been free to come
TO The United States and mine for gold un-
der the same terms that our citizens did.
There has never been any friction over
the matter. l do not anticipate any serious
trouble with our Canadian neighbors on
that score. Where a man has taken up
land claim for the purpose of residence and
cultivation We have always insisted that
he be citizen The same has been done
under the Canadian government. Where
man has simply prospected Tor gold with
the intention OF digging into the ground
a little and taking what he could find from
land against which there was no claim
he has never been interfered with on our
side of the border. / do not think that the
Canadian government will change that
course of procedure. If they do II may
lead to fully as much embarrassment to
them as TO our miners. From the meager
reports already received ii looks as II there
might be much gold on our side OF the
Alaskan line as on theirs.

Edgar NIisner's Account of scenes in

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.-Edgar Mis-
ner whose father was once minister to
Central America, went up to Dawson City
in March last by the Juneau route. He has
sent a letter, dated June IS. which gives the
best account printed of the crowd of new
corners at Dawson, the feverish activity in
building and the wild rushes of excited
prospectors when any report of rich
strike reaches the place Mr.. Misner
writes:
I'VE reached Dawson about 3 o'clock in
the morning and found one of the live
Hest mining camps l ever saw. There are
about 4,000 people here, and saloons, dance
halls and restaurants never close. Inc
gambling tables are always crowded, and
thousands of dollars change hands in a re-
markedly short time. Men who this time
last year did not have a dollar now count
their wealth by thousands. Nearly every
bo5vy has a sack of gold dust with him as
big as a policemans club.
1.-THE sun sinks out of sight now about
1920 p. m and comes up about a. n. At
midnight, however, it is almost as light as
MONDAY. There is no night. At Dawson
there is a little sawmill, and rough houses
are going up in all directions, but for the
most part IT is city OF tents. on the
shore of the river are hundreds of boats
and others are getting in every day.

rested for drawing a revolver on one of
the miners and has been held till next Fri
day for hearing. The speakers all made
a point out of this last night, saying the
first man in the strike that broke the law
was an operator.
Vice President Rae, of the Brotherhood
of Painters and Decorators, arrived this
morning. He and Debs went to Clarks-
burg this afternoon. w. j. Lunn, editor of
Coal and Coke, Is in town, and says that
after careful study of the situation he
thinks the men in this district will be out

General Superintendent Fitzgerald, who
is here to-day, says it is an impossibility for
the leaders of the strike to stop the run
