only stamped the leg as though to get
rid of troublesome fly.
The thing about it which was stranse
to me was that the horses which were

evidence of excitement except a slight
prichng OF the ears toward the hill.
One almost wondered If they suspected
that things were not right. Even the
blood which was all about on the
sands, from horses and men, did not
nave it's general effect OF soaring them.
Why do not horses die for their coun-
try? They do not have a previous in

a eonscript die voluntarily, or a man
put war stamps on checks voluntarily,

VIOLATED THE LAW
NATE CANNON SAYS YOUNG Ell
LOTT WAS SHOT AFTER A

LOTT WAS SHOT AFTER A
CHASE.
Cambridge, Nd, Sept. SO.-Mate Mil
bourn Cannon arrived in Cambridge
yesterday and gave his version of the
shooting Of young Elliott in Fishing
bay on Wednesday afternoon. He said
he had been on board a number of buy
boats in the bay that afternoon and left
about o'clock to return to the police
schooner Folly. He was then in ba-
teau. Passing Captain J. Edward Insley
in a small boat, he asked if he should
tow him on board the schooner. Cap
tain Insley replied in the negative, and
directed his attention to some other
longing boats. which were coming up,
telling him to 90 on board the buy
boats and see what they brought.
Cannon started back to obey the or
der. All the boats continued in the
direction of the buy boats, with the ex-
ception Of two, which started for the
bay, the officer going in pursuit After
a chase of a mile or more Elliott roll
ed up one Of his sails and began pitch
ing his oysters overheard. Seeing this,
Cannon fired a shot thirty yards to the
leeward with a 3S-calibre Smith &
Wesson pistol. Elliott continued to
shovel oysters and Cannon fired again
to the leeward, the ball going through
his sail, which, he supposes, DETECTED
it's course. The Elliotts then dropped
anchor and the officer went alongside
and found Elliott shot as described in
Elliott's version Of the affair.
The officer found on board a bushel
of oysters, which he began to Gull. In
the first three pecks he found 10 per
cent. unculled.
Elliott's father, who was also on
board, said: Don't Gull any more; you
have got enough to convict me-"
Cannon said he offered to carry FL
liott to a doctor for the wounded mans
good, and not with any idea of keep
ing the matter quiet. He says he did
not ask them ito say nothing about it,
as had been stated
Elliotts mother said when Can
mons boat was seen coming in their
direction young Elliott's father said;
I'VE had better not try to put our oys-
ters aboard the buy boat If we dc
we will have trouble"
Cannon says there was no rife aboard
his boat. His pistol has two empty
chambers in proper position. He seem:
much worried over the matter and re
grets the affair.

MINISTERS SHOULD MARRY

BISHOP FOWLER'S ADDRESS TO
CANDIDATES FOR ADMISSION
TO THE PITTsBURG CONFER
ENCE.
Bishop Fowler, of the Methodist
Episcopal Conference, is well-known
in this city, and his views are always
heard with considerable interest. At
a meeting Of the Pittsburg Conference
at Johnstown he told the candidates
for the ministry that one incompetent
preacher sent out by the conference
could "tomahawk" a church and could
10 more damage than five good pastors
could repair Remember" he said,
you are asking to be admitted to the
ranks Of the cleanest, best and most
triumphant army the sun ever shone
upon. After you have taken the oaths
there is only one bishop on earth who
can relieve you, and he is the under
taker."
The bishop gave the candidates a
deal Of sound advice IN the matter of
preparing their sermons and the best
course to pursue in their work, with
special reference to the avoidance OF
|laziness. The young men were advised
to get married" if they have not al
ready taken the step. and they ought
to select woman Of good sound sense.
Don't" he said, select a helpmeet
ust because she is religious. Let there
be only one preacher in your home, and
let that be yourself"
The bishop said a man might be a
preacher and not be a pastor. He told
them to visit. but to be careful how
hey visit Remember" he said. very
impressively, you go into homes in
he garb of a Methodist minister"
Then the candidates for full men,

up by Bishop Fowler. There were E.

SUED FOR ASSAULT
FRANCIS JACQUOT HAS WAR
RANT ISSUED FOR A BOY WHO
THRASHED HIS SON.

RANT ISSUED FOR A BOY WHO
THRASHED HIS SON.
A singular case was presented before
Magistrate John i. Daley this morn
ing, when Francis Jacquot appeared
against Frank Miller, lad of about 12
years, whom he had sued for assaulting
his son.
On the 18th day of the present month
young Miller had some alteration with
the Jacquot boy, who Is about his own
age, which resulted in a bout OF iisti-
cuffs. Miller succeeded in getting the
better of the Jacquot boy, and admin
istered a sound thrashing to him with
q switch which he picked up. The boy
went crying to his father and told his
side of the story.
The father thereupOn went to Magis-
trate Daley and had a warrant sworn
out for Miller's arrest. When the case
came up to-day Jacquot had many wit
nesses present, but Magistrate Daley
dismissed Miller with a reprimand.
This caused much dissatisfaction
among the persons on the other side.
Jacquot protested strenuously against
such judgment, but the magistrate re-
mained firm in his decision and the lad
was allowed to go.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY
THE WEST CHESTER DISTRICT IS
TO HAVE TWO A DAY.

The WEST CHESTER DlSIRlCI Is
TO HAVE TWO A DAY.
Washington, Sept SO.-Acting Post
master General Heath has signed an
order in compliance with a request
made by Congressman Butler, Of the
Sixth district, providing for a new fea-
ture in the system Of rural free deliy-
cry. 1t directs that there shall be put
in operation two deliveries day on as
many of the rural routes centering at
West Chester as may be practicable. To
make a beginning another carrier has
been allowed, and in all probability
Others will be employed when the
time comes to utilize them to advan-
tage. This is the first place in the
United States to be allowed more than
one free rural delivery a day, and the
result is due to Congressman Buffers
activity and energetic interest in the
scheme Of rural delivery. Mr.. Butler
can see no good reason why the farm
ers, who pay their share, and perhaps
more than their share of the taxes,
should not have their proportion of the
in return for their money.
But over and above this. he says, there
can be no doubt of the financial success
of the rural delivery system, as it has,
thus far in the trial made Of it in his
district, paid handsomely, and prom
ises to secure for the postal service an
economy in the saving of unnecessary
salaries that can hardly be estimated
lat this time There was great reluct-
ance on the part of the post office Of
fcials having charge of the rural de-
Livery because of the limited amount
of funds available for the service and
because Of the experimental nature of
the whole idea of rural delivery, to
adopt the suggestions Of Mr.. Butler for
Extended service.
Il intend to stay by this thing" says
Mr.. Butler. "T have seen the advan-
tage OF it from the start, and it is not
only fair play; it Is practical business.
The government has never lost a penny
in the postal service when there was a
natural demand for its extension and a
reasonable degree of plain common
sense applied to it. We cannot expect
the government to freight all sorts OF
printed matter and make a profit on IL
such as is derived from the carriage
and delivery Of letters. Yet, If you will
stop to think of it the Post Office De-
partment is making money out Of the
carrying Of letters by just such meth
DDS as we advocate for the extension OF
the rural free delivery-frequent collec-
tions and deliveries. The greater the
facilities extended the people for the
use of the mails the more they will
use them Give them what they ask
and you will put the service on a solit
footing. Grant what the few want ant
you lose on it. The department is los
ing on that class Of matter that does
not benefit the masses, but the few ar,
riding on the government when they
should be paying freight bills to rail.
roads. The time VIII come when the
routes around West Chester will fur
nish the finest possible example oi
what can be done with free rural de-
livery, and will be regarded as the
model for the whole country to pat
tern after"
