BASE BALL BEATS CHURCH
ACCORDING TO THE IDEAS OF
MAYOR SAM JONES, OF TO-
LEDO, OHIO.
A signed statement From the Ex-
ecutfve of Ohfo's Big Town, In
While He Lauds Base BAH ana
Compares n Fashionable Churcn
to an Ice House.

TOLEDO. Ohio, March 9.-Mayor
Sam Jones has issued a peculiar
signed statement, of which the follow
ing is part:
For my part, I find more religion
at base ball match than at Fifth
Avenue church. The good natured
crowds surge in when the gates are
opened, and soon the wooden benches
are black with people, up to the high
est tier. Peanuts are in great de-
mand, and empty shells are scattered
right and left. The floor is not in
nocent of tobacco juice. nor the air
of profanity. The game is called, a
witty onlooker shouts out some BAN
tering remark to one of the players,
and all within sound of his voice laugh
uproariously. The captain of the
home team bats far afield, and gains
his base, while the whole crowd fused
into one mass of enthusiasm, rises to
its feet, with tremendous cheer.
served run there is applause, too, but
it is more reserved and measured,
and we are conscious of our magnan-
unity. There are constant cries of
encouragement, of disappointment, of
criticisms of the umpire. But the
prevailing note is fellow feeling of
common interest of sympathy. These
are indeed vulgar wayside flowers, but
from them the soul may distill honey.
When l think of the base ball match
St. Frigidas seems to me like an ice
house.

several prominent Persons Charged
With Being Implicated in the As
sassinatiOn of Governor GoebeI.
FRANKFORT, KY, March 9.-W.
H. Coulter, clerk in the office of
State Auditor Sweeny was arrested
and placed in Jail tonight, charged
with completely in the murder of the
late Governor VIM. Goebel. The ar
rest was made by Chief of Police Will
liams at 8 o'clock.
Warrants have also been issued
for the arrest of Secretary of State
Caleb Powers and Captain John w.
Davis, policeman of the State Capitol
square, but they have not yet been
served. The warrants charge them
also with being accessory to the Goe-
bel assassination. Warrants against
ex-Secretary of State Charles Finley
and John t. Powers, brother of Sec
rotary of State Powers, have been
sworn out and have been sent to
Whitley county for service. Davis is
in the city tonight but was not at
his residence and up to a late hour
the police had not found him. 1t is
not known whether Secretary Pow
ers is in the city. Several witnesses
who testified at the trial of Harland
Whitaker Tuesday, swore that the
shots at the time of the Goebel ass
assination were fired from the direc-
ton of Powers office and he and all
of the parties for whom the warrants
were issued tonight have been under
the strictest surveillance ever since
the assassination. Captain Davis
was an appointee of Governor Brad
ley and was continued under Cover
nor Taylor.
Ex-Secretary of State Finley was
one of the promoters of the mass meet
ing of the mountain men in front of
the State capitol January %. He serv-
ed as secretary of state during the four
years when w. o. Bradley was Gov
nOL. I1C was IOI the city the udy
of the assassination, but left the day
before. Coulton, the only one arrested
tonight, was placed in cell and not
allowed to talk to any one. The other
arrests will be made tomorrow.
The warrant on which Coulter was
arrested and the warrants for the ar
rest of the two Powers, Finley and
Davis were based on an affidavit made
by Thomas B. Cromwell, of Lexington.
Cromwell has been assisting the detec-
tives in hunting down the case and it
is said that he spent several days in
Hardin, Bell, Whitley and Knox coun-
ties, where it is alleged the evidence
against the parties arrested were Sc
cured. Public admission to the State
house grounds was denied tonight to
all by order of the military author
tiles, but whether this is to be en-
forced longer than tonight is not yet
known.

DEBS AND HARTMAN.
Social Democratic Party the First to
Put National Ticket I'm the


Field.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. March o.
For president, Eugene Victor Debs, OF
Indiana.
For Vice President, Job Hartman,
of California.
This is the National ticket of the
Social Democratic party, which will
absorb the Hilquit-Harriman faction
of the Socialist Labor party by agree
ment.
The Social Democrats were happy
to-day. They say the candidacy of
Debs will attract hundreds of thous-
ands of voters to their party. They
profess to see the beginning of a
great national victory.
Mr.. Debs had previously refused to
accept the nomination, but finally sue
cumbed to persuasion.
1t seems, from the explanations of
friends, that Debs has been applying
his earnings to the extinction of
debt against the American Railway
Union, and that he did not want to
cease until the debt was paid.
The debt amounted to several thou
sand dollars. Debs received assur-
ances tthat the debt would be taken
care of, and that he would receive a
rest of three months before entering
the presidential canvass.
At this mornings session of the
convention the nomination of Debs
and Hartman was confirmed.

1.-THE American citizen is to be iden-
titled oy some one national trait OF
character more than any other we think
it should be as an inventor of labor
saving machinery. A very large pro-
portion of all the labor saving machinery
In use in the world today is the result OF
the dislike which the American citizen
has for hard manual labor. Give an
lrishman, a German, an Englishman a
hard Job of manual labor to perform and
each will dig away at it, stolidly, persist
emily and patiently, just as his father
always did; while an American given
the same work to do will be studying all
the time he works to invent some other
and easier way in which to accomplish
che same results, and he generally
succeeds. In engineering problems

in all forms of transportation; in mining

favor. viz: that the woman who works
