KOCH WON ROAD RACE
IN EXCITING FINISH.

There Were Only -Four Riders in the
Contest, and Fifteen Prizes Were
Hung Up-A Fifteen Mile Course.
Only four riders participated in the
Carnival fifteen mile road race last
evening, which was run over the Rough
Riders course to Triadelphia and re-
turn.
Fifteen prizes were offered, some Of
them very valuable, the first being a
bicycle; the time prize, a watch; then
the list dropped down to a pair OF cuff
links for second place. No wonder
there were so few starters.
The sympathy of the crowd was held
by Willie Phillips, a diminutive lad OF
twelve years, hailing from Sistersville,
who finished gamely in third place.
The finish between McGrananan and
Koch was very exciting, the two riders
coming down Fifteenth street neck and
neck Koch winning out by a narrow
margin. The immense crowd prevented
McGranahan from making a finishing
squirt.

IN A DEADLOCK.


RICHMOND. Va, July 1l-The Virgin
la constitutional convention is at a stand
still and 1t is evident that 1t will accom-
plish nothing further until the sentiment
concerning the suffrage question assumes
a definite shape. To-day's session lasted
only half an hour and involved only rou-
the business.
The chief feature Of the day was the In
PRODUCTION of a resolution providing that
the committee on suffrage shall report
no suffrage provision which is to be sub
mitted tn an unrestricted electorate. In
other words, the resolution provides that
those who are to be disfranchised shall
not nave a chance to vote upon the new
constitutional provision. There was no
debate upon this matter, but ii will evoke
much discussion in a week or so.

THE Catholic Church has ever been
guided by the Holy Spirit of God and
has ever bowed to authority. Authority
is from God Authority was ordained
by Almighty God that those who live in
human society might be submissive to
lawful authority.
ut matters little to Catholics in whom
authority rests, whether it be a king,
the aristocracy or the president of a re-
public. The Scriptures tell us that all
authority is from God, and whoever re-
sists authority resists God. We must re-
spect those who rule, and if we do not
we shall never enjoy the authority of
God in heaven.
Nothing can be accomplished by as
sassination. Those who write against
authority should be banished forever

OF
THE CATHOLICS
Special Service of Sorrow at the
CathedraI-lnseresting
Address.

OF the memorial services held in the
Catholic Cathedral Saturday morning in
memory of President Mckinley, none
were more interesting than that at
which Rev. Father NJ. j. Boarman. one
of the Jesuit fathers who came to Homo
lulu on the Mariposa on Saturday de-
livered the address eulogistic OF the pres
ident. At this service the Bishop of
Panopolis of1ciated, assisted by Father
Thomas. AS this was the special service
.of the French Catholic Mission. the tri-
color being lowered at half mast before
the Bishops residence, Mons Vizzavona,
the French consul. was present at the
service at the request of the Bishop in
stead of being in attendance at the Off
ciaI memorial services at Kawafahao
Church. Father Boarman spoke, in part,
as follows:
You are gathered here today, nv
friends, to mark the very sad death of
the President of the United States There
ARE innumerabIe reasons why an occasion
of this kind should be one of deep sor-
row to US all.
Under any circumstances even in the
ordinary course of nature, the taking off
of a President of the United States and
the taking off of such a man as was
President Mckinley, would be sufficient
to cause the deepest sorrow throughout
the length and breadth of the land but
what shall we say when he is killed by
the hand of an assassin?
The late President of the United
States endeared himself to all the people.
Even by his most bitter enemies he was
admired and respected. He was affable
in temperament, just in the carrying out
OF the law, and moderate in all his views
he brought the country into a state of
prosperity-prosperity that made itself
felt throughout the length and breadth
of the land and yet, even while he held
out his hand in friendship to a man, he
was shot down by the hand of an assas-
sin.
Sorrow and gloom sover over all peo-
pie of the United States today, irrespec-
tive of party or creed.
1T was only two months since that the
President of the United States drove
through the city of San Francisco. He
was hailed by all the people. He was
hailed by the Catholics. You will re-
member those beautiful words he adj
dressed to the young Catholics of the
city.

the United States did not stand alone in
his iniquity. There We're others behind

never tried to buy things. but what he

you call an all around sport; and ne

TO BE A PUBLIC SPEAKER.
One Should Talk as Though Perfectly
at Ease Before an
Audience.

In managing his voice, the speak
er, when he is engaged in earnest
conversation, commonly and natural
ly falls into the best tone and man
ner for public speaking. Suppose
you are sitting about table with a
dozen friends, and some subject is
started in which you are deeply in
terested. You engage in an earnest
and serious dialogue with one of
them at the other end of the table
You are perfectly at ease. not caring
in the least for your manner or tone
of voice, but only for your thought
The tone you adopt then will or
dinarily be the best tone for you in
public speaking. You can, however,
learn from teachers or friendly
critics to avoid any harsh or dis
agreeable fashion of speech that you
may have fallen into, and that may
be habitual to you in private CONVEX
sation, says Scribner's
Next. Never strain your vocal or
gans by attempting to fill spaces
which are too large for you. Speak
as loudly and distinctly as you can
do easily, and let the more distant
portions of your audience go. You
will find in that way very soon that
your voice will increase in compa SIS
and power, and you will do better
than by a habit of straining the
voice beyond its natural capacity.
Be careful to avoid falsetto. Shun
initiating the tricks of speech of
other orators, even of famous and
successful orators. These may do for
them, but not for you. You will do
no better in attempting to initiate
the tricks of speech of other men in
public speaking than in private
speaking.
Never make a gesture for the sake
of making one. / believe that most
of the successful speakers whom ]
know would find it hard to tell you
whether they themselves make ges-
lures or not, they are so absolutely
unconscious in the matter. But with
gestures as with voice, get teachers
or friendly critics to point out to you
any bad habit you may fall into.
think it would be well if our young
public speakers, especially preachers,
would have competent instructors
and critics among their auditors. aft
er they enter their profession, to
give them the benefit of such observa-
tions and counsel as may be suggest
ed in that way.
