Mr.. Bryan's paper says: "Why
should Grover Cleveland be in
vited to a democratic meeting un-
til he expresses an intention to
return to the democratic party!
There is no reason why he should
be invited to speak before demo-
Gratis" Mr.. Bryan also scored
David B. Hill for participating
in a democratic gathering and
here is what Hill said of him.
You will note the difference:
'We should have been glad to
welcome that other distinguished
democrat who halls from the
great west, the honored standard
bearer in the last two presidential
elections; that able and eloquent
democratic orator-Mr. Bryan, OF
Nebraska-had he been able to
be present on this occasion. If
ever there is harmony in the
democratic ranks Mr.. Bryan will
not be responsible for it. He is
entirely too arbitrary to become
a factor in reuniting the democ-
racy, and that's the truth ad-
mitted.

Sympathy Expressed by Con-
vention of Federation Of
Catholic Societies.
CONFIDENCE IN THE PRESIDENT.
Resolutions State Belief That He
Will Be Just-Friars Assured of
Support of Societies Represented
In the Convention.

Chicago. Aug. S.-The temper of
the convention of Federated Catholic
societies relative to the Philippine
question was put to the test at the
closing session yesterday. John T.
Heating, a national officer of the
Eibernians, offered a substitute reso-
luton for those previously brought
Lefore the meeting. Mr.. Heating pro-
posed that the delegates dismiss the
friar and public school questions with
az expression of satisfaction with the
manner in which the subject is being
handled by the vatican and the ad-
ninistration. When motion on the
substitute was put there was but one
Affirmative vote, and that one was
Mr.. Keating's. The convention then
adopted the following resolution on
the subject:
I'VE hereby express confidence that
the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt presi-
dent of the United States, will per-
form his duty under the constitution
and laws and our firm belief that he
will institute rigid judicial inquiry
into any abuses by subordinate gov
eminent officials in our territorial
possessions and promptly rectify such
abuses. We are especially confident
tnat in his dealings with the serious
problems arising in the Philippine
islands. property and personal rights
guaranteed by laws and constitution
will be faithfully safeguarded and
protected.
Resolved, That we extend to the
friars in the Philippines our fullest
sympathy in this, the hour of trial;
that we appreciate the value of their
services in the cause of religion and
humanity; that We pledge them our
support as American citizens in up
holding the hands of our government
in its determination to see that they
are treated with that common justice
that belongs to all who enjoy the pro.
lection of the American flag.
Resolved, That this federation con-
graduate the vatican and the Ameri-
can government on the position at
tanned in the negotiations regarding
tie questions which have arisen in
the Philippines, and We express our
full confidence that these negotiations
will be continued until just and ami
cable solution shall be obtained"

PLACE OF TRANSPORTATION.
Worlds Fair Building Which win
Cover Nearly Sixteen Aeres-Four
Miles of Track.

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS ST.. LOUIS,
Aug. 8.-The Transportation building
the first structure to be produced by
the Department of Architectural De
sign of the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition, allows an estimate TO be made
OF the capacity of that department.
Mr. Z. L. Masqueray Chief OF Design,
is the architect. The structure is to
be one OF the largest of the big exhibit
buildings in the main picture. 1t will
be 1900 by 525 feet and will cover an
area Of 1910 acres.
This building will house the trans
portation exhibits which will include
every possible yehickle for transpor-
tatlon on land, on sea- or in air, from
baby carriages to battleships. Four
miles of standard guage railroad track
within the building will be supplied
on which will be shown the engines
and rolling stock that runs on rails.
In addition to this, floor space Of
213, 9l8 square feet will be set aside
for vehicles and one of 81, 658 square
feet for vessels.
La the facades az the building the
designer has supplied happy combin-
alton OF the accepted form of a rail-
road station, with its great semi cir
cular archways, and of the ornate ex-
position building, with its lavish use
of sculpture and tower features. The
main motif of the building on all four
facades is series of three magnificent
Cani- n rpular a rch uouc "a foot l., 1 no -,
and 50 feet high. On the narrow
facades, thanking the archways, great
pylons crowned by soaring statue
tower $50 feet in the air. On the
longer front massive piers at intervals
replace the pylons. The architect
has supplied on the longer front SER
les of square window openings of ma
jestic proportions which carry out the
idea of a depot building and admit
ample light without the necessity of
resorting to skylights, monitor lights
or clear-stories. Access is supplied to
the building not only through the
twelve great postals mentioned
but through subsidiary entrances
close together along the facades.
1.-The architects first effort should
be to make his bnilding serve the pur-
pose for which it is intended says
chief Designer Masqueray. "a light
interior and the easy circulation of
crowds are our prime essentials"
The building has no inner court.
1t is different in this respect for many
OF the other big exhibit buildings. In
the Transportation building the ar
ehitect depends chiefly for his effects on
the architectural disposition of mass
es but he does not ignore sculpture
Sixteen groups Of statuary to symbo-
lie transportation in all its stages of
progress, are provided for. The in
terror Is spanned by five bays of trus-
tees of uniform design which will
greatly simplify the construction.

Identifies Martuecio as her Assail-
ant-Question as to his Guilt.
The preliminary hearing of Nicola
Martuccio is being held this afternoon
at the residence Of Ed White as the
victim was mot well enough to be
brought to the squire's office The
hearing began at little past two
O'Clock this afternoon.
Nicola Martuccio the Italian boy,
was found near the Decker's creek
bridge shortly after the crime was
committed. He jumped Oh road
wagon just as Ed White, father of the
outraged girl, aud eolored fellow &C
companying bin, caught sight of him
and noticed that he exactly filled the
description of the brute they were
searching for. They Immediately
cried out TO the driver TO stop as they
were still some distance away, but
could not make the driver hear. They
then ran after the wagon. overlook
it and took Martuccio in charge.
He could speak little English and
his story was that he was on his way
from the brick yard TO where they
were grading streets in East Morgan
town, where his brother was water
boy, there being quite force en-
ployed
The grading was being done a few
hundred yards from where the crime
was committed and Col. Gilmore was
positive he had seen the boy near the
work earlier in the afternoon, which
would seem likely as half-a-dozen CT
the men working there are said to
have boarded at the same house with
Martuccio.
Officer Shoemaker brought the boy
to the sheriff's Office where an exami
nation was made. Failing to find any
evidence that Martuceio was the guilty
party, he was taken before the little
girls for Identification. Priscilla the
victim and Ellen her sister both iden-
titled Martuccio as the guilty party
picking him out OF two or three fell
lows dressed about the same and
taken along purposely.
Officer Shoemaker asked Martuceio
II he had ever seen Priscilla before
but be would not answer and the Off
Ger says he evidenced every appear
ance of guilt and would not look at
the girl The officers had to turn him
around that the little girls could
Identify him.
At the examination of physician
about supper time Martuceio appeared
scared and big tears shone in his eyes
but there was little Of the bang dog
look IN evidence that would indicate
him to be capable Of perpetrating
such an awful deed.
This examination resulted like the
previous one and the physician says
he cannot conceive of Martuccio COM
mitting the crime without there being
some slight evidence on his clothing
Martuccio was at supper when the
physician arrived He had joined the
other inmates of the jail at the sup.
per table and apparently had not lost
his appetite in the excitement
italian interpreters had talks with
Martuccio during the day but he was
very reticent and they got little out
OF him. 1t is understood however,
that he thinks he will have little
trouble in proving an alibi.

Col. Morrison Is pioneer in the
building Of glass houses in Ohio,

This makes twenty four big win
dow glass factories he has bGiit in
these states. He says this town has
the natural facilities tor manufact-
uring city, and while gas can be
gotten at cents a thousand feet,
we will continue to get more glass
factories. The Standard Oil Com
pany owns the glass supply in Penn

private homes has become so great,
that they are freezing out the glass
factories by high rates for gas.
The gas main to the Marilla fac
try is now being laid up the new

eight inch main.
The company will have 100000

factory is completed September lst.
BY the time $4,000 to $780, more
is expended in getting the factory
into operation, it will represent a
pretty big capital. Thirty blowers
will be required to operate it, and
five helpers are required for each
blower This will make a total of
about 200 workers making $75 to
