NOT UNTIL 1904
Will the Rhodes Scholarship Scheme
Be in Operation.

London, Aug. 16-It is likely to be
1904 before any Of the scholars who re-
ceive appointments under the terms of
the will of the late Cecil Rhodes will ar
rive at Oxford university. The execu-
tors of the will find SO many intricate
details to be arranged that there is lit
tie hope of getting the curious system
working earlier.
George Robert Parkin, principal of
Upper Canada college, Toronto, who
has been appointed by the executors to
prepare plan for the allotment of the
scholarships provided for in the WILL
and who left London August r. on the
White Star steamer Oceanic for New
York. VIII make a tour of the British
colonies to ascertain the views of the
local authorities and report thereon
The executors will then draw up regu-
lations governing the eligibility of can
didates for scholarships and with regard
to other matters involved in the be-
quest.
So many complicated questions have
been submitted for decision to the exc
cutors by governors and colonial pre-
miers that they feel it would be unwise
to expedite matters without thorough
knowledge of the CAPTAINS of all the
various shades of thought and nation
alities embraced in Mr.. Rhodes scheme,

Warsaw Ind, Aug. 16.-The report of
Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, secretary of
the national committee evangelistic
work. which was appointed by the Pres
byterian general assembly in Philadel-
phia over a year ago and which will
meet in annual conference at Winona
for five days, commencing August %.
will show that the work of the commit
tee has resulted in turning the tide in
the Presbyterian church, whose MEM
bership, SO far as an increase is con-
cerned, had reached point of stagna-
ton.
The expense of the preliminary work
of the committee has been paid for out
man, John H. Converse, and he has just
advised Secretary Chapman that he has
deposited second $4,000 contribution
in the bank account of the committee.
At the conference plans will be dis
cussed with the object of raising at
once S15o.000 which the committee finds
necessary to carry out the work of
national campaign during the coming
year.
Last years campaign has been CEN
tralized in Iowa, Indian Territory, Mich
igan Indiana, Colorado, California, Kan
sas, Nebraska, New. Jersey and Mon
tana. From 1900 to 5000 accessions
to the church can be traced directly to
the work of the evangelistic committee,
which represents just about the total
increase in memberships throughout the
United States.
Secretary Chapman said: I'VE are
asking no entertainment for our work
ers or for those who are called into the

all but losing it
A slim youth by the name of Witt
started in to pitch for ST. George. In
three innings the Topeka players made
eight runs off his delivery. Boyd and
Ritchie both made good hits. That was
proof that Witt could not pitch. He
was taken out of the box and Holuba
went in for one inning and gave away
three runs Then Harrel1 went in, and
Topeka scored no more The visitors
began to figure out Bryden's curves, and
his ups and downs were batted around

Mehl caught for the visitors, and will
be here with the Manhattan team next

TO GOVERNOR STANLEY.
Woman's Praying Band Write Him
LETTER

Woman's Praying Band Write Him
Letter.
The State Journal has received an
"open letter to Governor Stanley" from
the Woman's Praying band in which
they tell him how he might enforce the
law. It follows:
An Open Letter, Aug &c. 1902
Governor Stanley:-A short time ago
we had an interview with you in which
we asked you about your being the at
torney for Queen Dixie, the notorious
case. Your excuse was that it was your
partner and that it was ONLY a matter
of the railway company trying to take
her property. 1t now transpires that the
railway company had bought out all the
disorderly houses on Wichita street, ex-
cept the two three-story houses owned
and run by Dixie Lee, situated close to
the ney depot. to abate them as nuis-
ances, and did they not offer her all the
property was worth. and was it right
for you and your partner to try to keep
the Rock Island company from remov-
ing the worst two dives in the state?
How could you be less responsible than
your partner? We leave the public to
decide which is the more guilty.
From the testimony of a preacher.
who was in Wichita at the time, and
whom this vixen swore at and abused
on the street before her place, and who
pears to be the situation; and acting as
paid attorney for this wicked woman
is in keeping with your treatment of
the awful Kansas Klondike at Leaven-
worth and your attorney general in il
legal joint business all over the state.
1t is a dreadful disgrace to the exalted
position you occupy
You have asked US for a plan of nro-
cedure to enforce the constitutional
and statutory prohibitory laws. We an
swer: First, order your attorney general
to see that the laws are rigidly enforc-
ed, and if he does not do it. Save pro-
ceedings begun for his impeachment for
insubordlna ton, sobornation and per-
jury. Let him instruct every attorney
in every county to do his duty earnestly
and if that worthy won't act let him be
suspended and an assistant attorney
general appointed to perform his duty.
by in turn, suspending every derelict
sheriff, deputy sheriff and constable and
appointing temporary officers pending
custer proceedings: and when all this
has been faithfully done the women
will then consider whether further ac-
tionS is necessary. But governor you
are only shamming. You never intend

| is a farce. and we know it. as well as

CLAMLIkE CLAFfY.
He Refuses to Throw Any Light
on Bartholin Mystery.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Little progress has
been made by the police in solving the
mysteries of the Bartholin case. In
spector Hunt was convinced that he
would obtain important information
from John Claffy, who was positively
identified by Mrs. Tallerday. as one of
the men she saw with the laundry wa
gon on the morning following the night
of the disappearance of Minnie Mitchell.
Claffy has been accustomed to a supply
of liquor, and the inspector was of the
opinion that he would weaken after he
had been deprived of his allowance for
a few days. When he concluded that
Claffy would be about ready to tell what
he knew he had him called into the Of
fee. The result was failure. ClaHy
not only refused to admit that he was
one of the men seen by Mrs. Tallerday
but declared with great positiveness
that he was not there at all. When
asked how he explained Mrs. Taller
days identification of him, he replied
that it was not for him to explain it.
She had simply made a mistake and
that was her affair and not his He in
sisted that he was at home in bed at
the time Mrs. Tallerday declared that
she saw him with the laundry wagon
and denied any connection with the
case. The police could make nothing
whatever out of him and he was locked
up again.
Inspector Hunt said after the inter-
view:
..I thought that we would get the
story from Claffy, but we did not get a
single thing. He denied everything and
stuck to his denialS. asked him where
he was that night and he said he was at
home in bed. I asked him if he had not
gone to bed intoxicated and if. while
in that condition, he might not have
done some things he can not now recall
and he said he was sober that night"
Milton Edwards. who arrived from
Denver was able to do no more than to
strengthen the suspicion regarding the
guilt of Thompson. He recited no facts
that bore directly upon the killing of
either Mrs. Bartholin of Minnie
Mitchell.
Oscar Thompson still declines to tell
the police anything and insists he has
told all he knows and he can not re-
member where he was or what he did
on the night of the murder of the Mitch
ell girl

the best men in the country, even to
those churches that cannot bear the ex-
penes of their local meetings. 1t is to
be an aggressive and effective campaign
from beginning to end and we hope to
bring about revival such as the Pres
byterian church in America has not
seen in years"
Many noted men of the church will
participate in the conference, among
them being Rev. Henry Vandyke, mod
orator of the general assembly and Rev.
Hugh H Walker, Los Angeles.
It will be the most important and
momentous meeting of the leaders of
the Presbyterian church of the United
States, aside from the general assembly.

NEW FAIR ASSOCIATION
Movement In That Direction well Under
way--Ground Near Mar ttnsburg--
business Men Int, ested In the
Movement and strenuous
Effort will be Made 20
Make " "a "Go.v


A well defined movement toward the
organization of a fair association for
the purpose of holding an annual fair
in Martinsburg is under way. The
movement was statred from the offices
OF Attorneys Lucas and Aler in the
same manner as the recent movement
which resulted in the organization of
the Home Building and Loan Associ-
alton. 1t has already made good head
way and the prospects are that it will
be carried through.
Several prominent business men are
in with the movement and others have
promised their support in getting the
fair started. The intention is to make
the shares Of the capital stock so that
almost any citizen in the county can
buy one. The movement will not be
allowed to Idle burnin," say the
promoters, but will be carried right
through to success. Unless something
unforeseen happens a charter will be
applied for and the association organ
lied this fall.
There are several locations in view
for the fair grounds, among them the
old fair grounds and the Roush lot at
the western edge of town This, how
ever, will be left as a matter to he de-
cided on later.
A fair at Martinsburg, the county
seat Of the county Of Berkeley ana
the metropolis of Eastern West Yir-
ginia, should surely be made "go'
if fairs elsewhere in the surrounding
country are successes. The place is
centrally located and accessible from
"A large territory, including both
towns and agricultural communities
Fairs are undoubtedly a benefit to
towns and counties. One fair is held
annually in the county, eight miles
away. it is true, but then that is no
benefit TO Martinsburg. The same
fair held at Martinsburg would draw
hundreds, yes thousands, Of people
who viii not go to Iuwood
The promoters expect to interest
some foreign capital in the organization
Of the association and will endeavor
to make it the fair OF the Shenandoah
Valley if they get the association or
ganized.
