LOU DILLON WINS WITHOUT TROUBLE Major 0eImar Given Beating in Two Straight Heats BILLY BUCK IS DEFEATED Was Odds on Favorite for the Hand. cap, Mile and Half Dash, But
 Was Beaten By pr.
 Strong.

Memphis, October 20.-What was ex- pected to be one of the greatest harness contests in local history proved to be a very tame affair today, when Lou Dillon gave Major Delmar a decisive beating in two straight heats in ordinary time. The two-minute trotters met in the second renewal of the Memphis gold cup. Ideal track was in perfect shape. Fully 10000 people were in attendance when the two champions driven by their owners, Messrs. Billings and Smathers, appeared upon the track for the first heat. Mr. Billings won the pole on the toss of a coin. Starter Newton gave the word Ego" at the first attempt, and Lou Dillon im- mediate1y forged to the front and seem ingly without effort opened up a gap of three lengths, which advantage she held to the end, winning in an easy jog.
 Major DeImar Broke Badly.
 In the second heat Major Delmar broke badly at the first eighth pole, allowing the daughter of Sidney Dillon to assume a lead of twenty lengths. Turning into the stretch. MT. Billings realizing that he had the race at his mercy, pulled the mare up and won by eight lengths.
 Both heats were trotted in 2:04s4. It was the general opinion that had the mare been pushed in today's race she could have equalled her great performance at Readvlle, when she made the circuit in two minutes flat.
 Today's stake feature, the Diamond handicap, a dash at a mile and half, was won handily by Dr. Strong from the odds-on favorte, Billy Buck. Hawthorne was good third.
 Directum Miller was a decided favorite for the 2:14 pace, but he was out-footed from the start, and was distanced at the end, R on Time winning handily. Darriel, the favorite in the 2:05 pace. had no trouble in winning in straight heats, while Ak Delight. the favorite in the 2:30 trot, won easily in straight heats. Sum- mary:

Father J. N. CIeary, Formerly Of This
City, Sends Note to Vatican
on Thursday.
HINT OF A GREAT ADVANCEMENT.
Prelates at the Bedside of the Pope Claim
That KenOsha Man is to be Advanced
to High Seat in the Church.

"Before he dies l wish to see the
world at peace. Do not give him up.
The world needs him.
This was the message of farewell
sent to the attendants of Pope Leo
XIII by the Rev. J. L. Cleary formerly
pastor of st. James church in this
city, and the kilograms from the vat
lean state that it was received with
great deal of pleasure by the dying
pontiff. AS the old Pope was sitting
| in the shadow of death he yearued to
hear some Of the kilograms that were
pouring into the vatican, and this was
the first one of the long list brought
to him. After it had been read the
Pope seemed to be notably touched
and turning to the weeping prelates at
his bed side be said: "The Americans
have always showed me more affection
than arg other people. love them"
The incident was one of the most
affecting of the scenes during the day
and when it was repeated to the pre-
lates standing in the ante chamber,
one of them said: 'If the Pope lives
here is an American priest who will
not be forgotten. He will be made a
bishop, at least in the Philippines"
The long friendship between His
Holiness and Father C1eary has been
one that was more than a church rela-
ton. Father Cleary has visited the vati-
can and was accorded several long inter
views with the pontiff. Some time
ago when there was vacancy among
the heads of the church, it was stated
that Father Cleary had been suggested
by the Pope for advancement, but
there were so many older men in the
line for promotion, that the appoint
ment as bishop of new diocese was
given to another, and Father Cleary's
name held in reserve for another
vacancy. Father Cleary is now in
Erie, Pa, and should the Pope die he
will undoubtedly be one of the Amer
leans who will gather at the vatican
to pay the last sad respects to the
memory of the dead.
! The former priest is known to be one
of the leaders in the church in this
country and while he has not been ac-
corded the highest seats in the gift of
the church his work as an organizer
has many times been recognized by
the vatican and there is but little
doubt but that this work will be recog-
nized by the successor of Leo if not by
the dying pontiff.
Kenosha people have always fol-
lowed the career of Father Cleary with
a great deal of interest and his adu
vancement in the church will be hailed
with delight in this city by both Cath.
o1ics and Protestants.

THE DAY MY SON WAS MARRIED.

a business career. So what are you
going to do about it? Then Miss Moth

pounds this conundrum:
MADAM President and ladies, what
Is womanliness
And there you are.
Mrs. Bingle offers a resolution that
the human race Is to be saved only
through plentifully mothering 1t, and
she says:
"There is one day in my life shall
never forget, and that is the day my
son was married"
Then Mrs. Tringle offers an amend
ment to Mrs. Bingle's resolution to the
effect that 1--WE seek for a work on
which all may unite, and that we re-
fuse to act until we find standard
upon which all may agree And they
are not done making speeches about
their standard Of harmony yet. From
time to time they adjourn the subject
Of a basis Of harmony over till next
meeting. Madam PRESIDENT nerSelI mas
defined the scope Of the grand organ
ization and desired the ladies to bear
this in mind in their pursuit Of COM
mon basis of harmony.
1--WE are,' she said, "a deliberative
body whose women may compare and
advise together, where oil are invited
ana all may speak and advise. There
fore there can exist no rivalry. There
fore our organization overlaps or inter
feres with no other body of women.
Our society simply holds place ready
