saying:
when we left Trouville Mr.. Fair was
suffering from bronchial catarrh. He
coughed frequently on the road, and dur
Ing the f1ts Of coughing his face was much
congested, evidently producing slight diz-
ziness. He had just been coughing when
noticed that the tire of one Of the hind
wheels was debated. realized the dan
ger, and jumping to my feet and leaning
forward, I shouted in Mr.. Fairs ear in
English: .,~
"'Stop quick; tire no good
Mr.. Fair glanced back but he did not
reply. Apparently he tried to stop, but
in doing so he must have made a wrong
steering movement, as the machine
swerved across the road and went in a
straight line for tree. Mrs: Fair, as she
saw the direction the automobile was TAX
ing, clasped her husband g shoulders with
her arm and turned her face back towards
me with look which said plainly, we
are lost The next moment came the
crash and I was thrown into field beside
the road and stunned. When I recovered,
which did&quickly, slimped to the side
Of my master and mistress, and with the
help of the. chateau cgate-keeper's wife,
extricated the bodies from the wreck
Asked If either Of them showed signs OF
life, Brotey replied: "Both seemed to be
dead, but was in such dazed condition
from shock and SO affected by the CHASTITY
spectacle presented by the wounds on the
heads of both victims that did not no
tice whether either moved or not. The
gate-keeper's wife said. afterwards that
Mr.. Fair moved his foot and that his
wife moved her hand as they lay on the
ground, but L did not see the movements
The. woman did not say whether the man
or his wife stirred last"
The bodies are due to arrive In Paris

The instrument is practically completed

The Colombian government, which was
furnished with copy Of the original
draft, is understood to have urged upon
Minister Concha the necessity OF reQuir-
ing a number of minor changes, which, If
accepted by Secretary Hay, will cause 1t
to conform with certain provisions of Co.

changes is important and according to
state department officials none Is likely
to create difference of opinion which
will delay the signing of the treaty.
President Roosevelt expects to have the
treaty ready for submission to the senate
in November and If in the meantime our
legal experts can convince themselves that
the Panama Canal company possesses q
clear title to the property, which 1t Is
seeking to sell to the United States the
treaty will be ratified without delay. In

Such is the strike synopsis Of the situa-
tion in the anthracite field, as published In

Journal, the official organ OF the United
Mine Workers OF America. The fourteenth
week of the strike has closed and the
managers declare that the strikers are
stronger than when the strike was de-
clared.
'"The fact that 49, 900 men remain on
strike for that period" said w. b. VIII

Milwaukee, Aug 16--There was a sharp
break yesterday in the value of member

merce, /. L. Winters, representing E.. C.
Clifford & Company is Chicago, 5disposing
Of two certificates, .one.s being at $500 by
F. w. Teegard ands Frank Frost taking
the other at $516. The last sale reported
by Secretary Langson was at $500, and the
highest price paid for membership was
$1,150, about three months ago.
1.-THE reason the memberships were
sold,' said Mr.. Winters, twas because a
clique in the, chamber of commerce has
initiated against the, 'foreigners,' as the
Chicago men were dubbed by a Milwau-
kee paper some time ago, to such an ex-
tent that this market is no longer on a
parity with the Chicago wheat market,
and therefore the Chicago men who trade
here have no protection in the purchase
of puts and calls on the Milwaukee ex-
change. The traders who came here
from Chicago and established market
for corn and wheat in Milwaukee caused
memberships to advance from $50 to
$1,100 and made business hum, but q
clique which is alleged to be imbued with
a desire to run the machine has tinkered
with the rules until the outside public
seems afraid to trade here, and as a re-
suit wheat and corn futures have been
selling at d discount. as compared with

on evangelistic work which was appoint
ed by the Presbyterian general assembly
in Philadelphia over a year ago and which
will meet in annual conference at Winona
Lake for five days commencing Aug. %,
will show that the work OF the committee
has resulted in turning the tide in the
Presbyterian church, whose membership,
so far as an increase is concerned had
reached point of stagnation.
The committee is composed of twenty
leaders in the Presbyterian church and
other noted men of that denomination
will also participate in the conference.
The. expense of the preliminary work OF

$4,000 contribution in the bank account
of the committee. At the conference
plans will be discussed with the object
of raising at once $150,000 which the COM
mtttee finds necessary to carry out the
work Of national campaign during the
| coming year. The committee will aim to
raise 100000 Of this amount by finding
100 Presbyterians who will give $1,000

Last years campaign has been CEN
tralized in Iowa. Indian Territory, Mich
igan, Indiana. Colorado, California, Kan
sas, Nebraska, New Jersey and Montana.
From $4,000 to 1000 accessions to the

work of the evangelistic committee
which represents just about the total in

| United States. Secretary Chapman said:

campaign from beginning to end and we

not seen in years. .-
