Former Chief Shields followed the
cotton tail" to its hiding place, and
after a consultation Mr.. Darling was
elected to go after an axe in order
that the trunk might be chopped up.
Darling departed on his mission and
after tramping about three miles re-
turned with the weapon.
In the meantime, however, the rab-
bit, despite the fact that three guns
three dogs and two men were left to
guard the quarry. succeeded in max

"We stand today in the face of a re-
volt of the pagan world against Chris

door in the face OF Christianity. Only
a few days ago her representative
stood in Carnegie institute. in Pitts

RAILROAD COMPANIES
FORM BIG COMBINE

Another step toward combining the
interests Of the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Pennsylvania railroad COM
panies was taken at the annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the former

John p. Green. first vice-president
of the Pennsylvania, was elected a di-
rector in the Baltimore and Ohio. An
other significant move was the cleo
tion Of Charles II. Tweed, Of New

In 1896, when China was at the mercy
of the victorious Japanese. We have
no desire to interfere with the interests
Of the other powers in China. We wish
TO protect our rights to the fullest de-
gree. Our position there is one OF
legitimate defense. The miserable

With River Channel improvements

Philadelphia's Committee on Harbor
Improvements reported yesterday at
the meeting Of the Executive Council
of the Board OF Trade that the work

out in the construction Of the bulk
heads, and that the dredging had been

Paint Makes Money

The common impression Of most people
is that it costs considerable money to
paint anything from porch chair 70 a
whole hose, Notwithstanding the old
Dutch proverb, "Paint costs nothing" on
account Of its preserving and beautifying
qualities. 1t is a well settled fact, how
ever that house or store freshly painted
in good style by James NJ. Bryan & Son,
will always command larger price IN
open market, adding at least one-third
TO the value, on the principle that though
the coat don't make the man, it goes n
long way in that direction. Have the
above firm do your painting this fall Call
at lO7 West Eighth street and get color
card or shall we mail you one? Remem-
her the best paint is the cheapest as it is
