France Leads In Automobi1tne.

strange as 1t may seem to find the
French leading in any branch of sport
outside of rapier fencing, they are un-
q~uestlonabIy foremost in au~tomobilism,
says Edward Emerson, Jr., in Ainslee's
Magazine for April. Their great racers
-Charron, Rene de Knyf, Girardot
and Levegh-were well known as cham
plons IN other sports before they made
international regulations with their fast
racing automobiles. Now they hold
records for 60 miles an hour and So sec
onds per kilometer, which will be
equaled probably, if not surpassed, dur
ing the coming spring races for Mr..
James Gordon Benefits International
challenge cup. Since the great Ben
nett races were inaugurated all France
seems to have given herself over to au-
tomobiltsm, heart and soul. From Ca
Ials to B1arritz, from Brest to Nice, au-
tomobiles go humming over the beauti-
roads Of la belle France, and the
smallest French roadhouses and way
i inns now aspire to the title of au-
omobil hotels. In summer the auto
mobilists are most apt to congregate in |
the region Of Trouville, Dieppe, Dinard |
and Etretat. In winter they flock to |
Pau, Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo. |
By these devotees of the sport the an
road races, such as the famous !
de France and those between Par
Is, Bordeaux, Boulogne and Nice, are !
watched with breathless interest.

st. Louis Fair Managers Secure An
cient Relic From Kaskaskia.

ASSAAO 11OUI AaS a
Although Illinois Ices not form a
part of the territory comprised within
the Louisiana purchase, it is probable
that the famous old bell Of the Roman
catholic church Of Kaskaskia, near
Red Bud, Ills, will be one Of the most
interesting historical relies which will
be exhibited at the st. Louis worlds
fa1r In 1908, says the Chicago Record
Herald. This bell was the first whose
musical tones were ever heard in the
Mississippi valley, and for many years
more than a century it announced the
hours of worship in old Kaskaskia.
1t was cast in France in the year
l14l and in 1742 was presented to the
infant church at Kaskaskia BY King
Louis XIV. 1t is now cracked and
weather beaten, the French and Latin
inscriptions with which it was decorat-
ed are barely discernible, and it has
long been replaced by a larger bell.

Painful Injury While
Out Riding.
Daily Argus, Saturday, June 20.
Mr.. Z. 3. Edmundson sustain
ed a very serious accident last
evening while out riding with MI.
Thomas Chambers. They were
drying a very spirited horse and
had just turned the corner this
side of the Orphan Home when a
brush became entanged in one of
the wheels.
The noise from the brush friehte
ened the horse and the animal bes
gan to jump and to kick. Mr..
Chambers was driving. The horse
had gotten one leg over enc shaft
and one lire, and this only left
one line to control the animal.
With this line Mr.. Chambers pull
ed the horse across the roadside
ditch, in crossing which, the bugs
gy was up ct and he fell out,
leaving Mr.. Edmundson still in
the buggy. Mr.. Chambers still
held on to one line and was drag
ged some distance without being
injured.
Mr.. Elmundson saw there was
no way to stop the horse and he
jumped from the buggy falling
with his whole weight on his
leg. He fell PROSTATE on
the ground and remained there
until Mr.. Chambers, who had to
turn the horse loose, came back.
Mr. Eamundson sad his leg
was broken aud asked Mr.. Cham.
to run up to the Orphan
and ask Prof. Coble to
send a vehicle to take him to tn
Home. This was done immedi-
ately a2d medical assistance was
summoned. |
He was afterward taken to his
nome, where he was only parti-
ally examined on account Of his
nervous condition, and at that
line it was thought that his leg
vas only sprained, .but a closer
examination this morning shows
hat the larger bone ia his right
is broken about three inches
the knee. He has been CIV
n proper attention and is rest
ng much easier now.
The accident will be learned of
With sincere regret by his many
riends throughout the city, who
that he will soon be restor-
d to his wanted good heath.
The horse, after freeing him
elf from Mr.. Chambers, ran all
he way to the stables of Mr..
leo. D. Bennett, where he ran
ito some vehicles and did con-
damage.

council is concerned The ARGUS has
nothing to say. Its own conviction
is that the city should have better
alarm facilities, and in the business
portion of the city at least, right
away, and whatever plant is adopted
it should be one of acknowledged
merit that the city may develop and
add to as the exigencies of the situa-
ton justify. There should be no ex-
pertinent under any circumstances.
Time will come, whether the city
makes the move for a better alarm
system this year or not, when both
the Union and Mayor Knox will see
in wonder the advantages of such a
course. just as they did in the matter
of the paid department. Mayor Knox
made a farce of the paid department
under his first administration because
he did not know any better. This
time he is doing better by retaining a
competent man at its head. Mayor
Knox will know more about the
virtue of an alarm system later on,
too, we hope.

sembly in Yokohama, Japan, was born
in 1850 and was an authority on inter-

Japanese code, criminal and civil.
he was an advanced liberal OF the
most pronounced type, a tinancier of
marked ability, and one of Japan's
great statesmen. He has now paid
the penalty for his opinions. 1t is
getting to be dangerous to be great

any risks on this account.

SEEK SERMONS IN TREES.

Rev. Charles II. Eaton, in the
Church of the Divine Paternity, New
York, last Sunday spoke upon the re-
ligious uses of summer and defended
those who seek rest in the country on
the holy day instead of remaining in
the city to attend church. In part he
said:
''All through the year Sunday is
the beneicent gift of God, but it does
not follow that we are bound to use it
in just the same way all through the
year. People who play all the week
may indeed make it point to go to
church every Sunday. 1t is well that
they should do so.
But 1 can see no harm when peo-
pie who work hard all the week get
away TO the country on Sunday, es-
pecially in the summer, escaping the
city's heat and giving the children o
glimpse of the beauties of nature.
Il think the church has done
wrong, although unwittiugly, when
it has taught that Gods presence is
more real within the four walls of a
chapel or at the altar than it is at the
foot of grand old tree or on the
shore of a beautiful lake"
