very few would take any account Of
his acts The craving for a complete
change from the other days is lead

The great question for each one TO

this practice and the things that often
are attendant upon it it is true that
many working people are rendered
utterly unfit for their daily toll; while

right to ask if they are really bene-

Had Fun With the Umpire.

William Hayes acted as umpire at a
ball game near Washington. Pa. last
Sunday. and his decisions did not
seem to give unmixed satisfaction.
Toward the close Of the game he gave
one decision which evidently gave
great pain to the players on both
sides. Half a dozen of them seized
and carried him to a nearby river and
tossed him in. Umpire Hayes scram-
bled out in a hurry. whereupon the in
dignant athletes threw him back and
held him under water until he was
nearly drowned. Then they rolled him
on a beer keg until he recovered,
when they volunteered the informa-
ton that he was not cut out for an
umpire. On reflection MIR. Hayes Is
prepared to agree with this idea How
ever he means to sue a dozen Of his
assailants.

of the convention. Duval recently

HARMONY

PARKER's NOMINATION

lment.

Washington, d. c., April THE
friends in congress of Judge Parker, OF
New York, are deeply disappointed
state which threatens to prevent the
organization of the solid south, to-
geher with New York into an unbrok-
en- front for Parker. They are will
ling to follow New Yorks lead, but
they will continue to insist that New
York must be harmonious.
The feeling here Is that If New York
does not instruct for Parker the heavy
Parker strength In the south and west
will be disslpated and the field left
wide open for the sending Of Hearst
and German delegates, together with
uninstructed delegations whose ulti-
mate vote will be uncertain. More
than that, there is a possibility of the
bringing out of southern candidate
around whom the southern delegates
might be gathered to be swung in q
body at st. Louis in case of stam-
pede.
Senator Germans friends are some-
what heartened by the prospect of a
division among the southern delega-
tions. The German people would be
especially pleased If the southern
states should bring forward SOUTH
ern candidate. They believe that o
distinctively southern man cannot be
nominated any more than they believe
Mr.. Hearst is likely to be nominated
and the delegates gathered around the
southern man as nucleus would 60 to
a compromise candidate. Mr. Gorman's
sole prospect is in being the comprom.
ise candidate.

SENSIBLE LAWS
Proposed to Regulate
Hunting in Ohio.

The protests of the hunters of Ohio
have at last brought the lawmakers
to their senses. The game law that
is likely to pass the house allows the
shooting of squirrels from September
to October Is and woodcock from
September / until December 1. Out
side hunters who want to shoot In this
state are to be charged a license Of
SIS. This is in retaliation for like
licenses exacted by Michigan and In
diana. Unless some change Is made,
hunters will be allowed to shoot ruffed
grouse or the native pheasant thIs
fall. They have been protected two
years, but have not increased in num-
bers appreciably. In the immediate
vicinity of Canton the bird is not
found in any large numbers.
The law last year confined squirrel
shooting to August, the worst month
in the year, and woodcock could not
be shot until November 10. after the
birds had all gone south to be the
prey of the southern hunters.

Will Be Appointed for
Charles Wernet.

The hearing in the application for
a guardian for Charles Wernet was
concluded Thursday afternoon and
Probate Judge Aungst decided that a
guardian was necessary for the pro-
lection of Mr.. Wernet's property. The
defendant himself was placed upon the
stand and his own admissions were the
strongest evidence that was offered.
He is possessed of nearly $4,000 in
real estate and his habits have been
such that he is incapacitated for car
tpg for his wealth. The action was
brought at the instance of his children.
The attorneys, Messrs. Joseph Blaks
and C, 7. Meyer. will be allowed to
agree upon a guardian who will be ac-
ceptable to all parties.
