RACE DONE?
Not a Bit Of It.

A man who thought his race was
run made a food find that brought him
back to perfect health.
zone year ago l was unable to per-
form any labor, in fact I was told by
my physicians that they could do moth
ing further for me. l was fast sink
ing away, for an attack of grip had left
my stomach so weak it could not di-
gest any food sufficient to keep me
alive.
There | was just wasting away,
growing thinner every day and weak
er, really being snuffed out simply be-
cause | could not get any nourishment
from food.
Then my sister got after me to
try Grape-Nuts food which had done
much good for her, and she finally
persuaded me, and although no other
food had done me the least bit of
good, my stomach handled the Grape
Nuts from the first, and this food sup
piled the nourishment I had needed.
In three months I was so strong I
moved from Albany to San Francisco
and now on my three meals Of Grape
Nuts and cream every day I am strong
and vigorous and do fifteen hours
work.
II believe the sickest person in
the world could do as I do, eat three
meals Of nothing but Grape-Nuts and
cream, and soon be on their feet again
In the flush Of best health like me.
mot only am l in perfect physical
health again, but my brain is stronger
and clearer than it aver was on the
old diet. / hope you will write to the
names send you about Grape-Nuts,
for I want to see my friends we'll and
strong.
Just think that a year ago I was
dying, but to-day, although I am over
55 years of age, most people take me
to be less than 40, and I feel just as
young as I look" Name given by

NEW YORK DETECTIVE KILLED
Was shot BY q Policeman While
Hiding From a Mob which
Had Attacked Him.

New York, July 18.-After shooting
William Gorricy and Alonzo Dorando,
of Manhattan, during an attack made
upon him Sunday by a crowd of men
at Schurer's picnic park at Corona, l..
l., Charles Conran, a detective on duty
in citizens clothes, sought refuge un-
der a dancing platform, and was there
shot and killed by policeman John P.
Gerrity.
Conran's fight with the crowd had
caused a call to be sent in for police
reserves, and when they arrived, sew
eral in the crowd told the officers that
the man who did the shooting was I'M
der the platform. Nothing was said
about Conran being a detective, nor of
his having shot in self-defense. Ger
rity crawled under the platform and
ordered Conran to come out. Receiv-
ing no answer, he fired, and Conran
was instantly killed.
Gorricy and Dorando, who were shot
by Conran during the attack, we're
from this city. Neither was danger

Timbers, Jonas Sims and VIM. Austin,
negroes, who confessed to assaulting
Mrs. Elsie Biddle of Burlington, N. j.,
were sentenced to 40 years each In
state prison, after a record-breaking
trial. The men arrived in Mount Holly
at lis p. n. Friday. Less than half
an hour later they had pleaded guilty,
been given the extreme penalty Of the
law, and had started for the prison.
When the men, handcuffed to three
detectives, stepped from the train,
there were at least 1000 persons con-
gregated about the railroad station. A
company of the New Jersey national
guard quickly opened a passage way,
and within five minutes the criminals
we're in the court house. Judge Gaskill
had ordered that the curious be x
Guided from the court room, only the
newspapermen and the guards being
admitted. Judge Gaskill accepted the
plea of guilty, and in pronouncing SEN
tence said:
THE Judgment of the law and the
sentence of the court is that for the
charge of rape to which you have just
pleaded guilty, each of you be con-
fined in the state prison at hard labor
for the term of Is years; upon the
charge of robbery, Is years; upon the
charge of assault with intent to kill
an officer, II years, and upon the
charge of robbing the house of William
Streaker, seven years, making a total of
70 years"
AS soon as sentence had been pro-
1ounced, the men were removed from
the court house. AS they appeared at
the entrance, the soldiers formed two
columns of fours, and with the men
in the center, they marched down a
side street to the special train which
had brought them from Camden. The
first demonstration of any character
took place as the negroes neared the
train. A crowd Of several hundred
men and boys had gathered, hooted and
jeered the negroes, and the cry Of
Shoot them" was heard several times.

WAYS OF

Ancient wrestlers were permitted to
rub their hands on the sand in the
arena, but wrestlers of to-day are de-
barred from using resin, drug or any
preparation to increase the tenacity
of their hold.
In Grecian and Roman wrestling
bouts the bodies and limbs Of the
wrestlers were plentifully anointed
with oil and grease. The object of
this was to prevent a hold being Sc
cured by an opponent. Modern arti-
cles Of agreement, however, state ex-
plicitly that no oil or grease shall be
used.
Ancient Greeks and Romans wres-
tied either in a state of complete mud
ity, or with asstrip of cloth around
their loins. Modern wrestlers wear
skin tights on their lower limbs, with
arms and torso bare. In Turkey, how
ever, leather drawers are the rule, and
the grip may be put upon them. In
Switzerland the drawers or the belt
may be grasped in order to secure. a
hold.

Hon. Alton B. Parker, Esopus, N. Y
Dear Sir: Safety for the good ship of
state is of the first Importance.
"At a time when a material crisis Is
pending, when democratic institutions are
in peril, when great evils should be Grad
icated, when important political ques-
tons must be decided, it is fortunate
that the Democratic party has given to
the country a candidate for president in
whom that great council of representative
men have every confidence, and we have
the best of reasons for believing that that
confidence will be confirmed by the in
telligent patriotic people Of the country.
I'VE all do know hat the Instincts and
training Of the judge are to hold in sacred
regard the constitution n the faithful
Interpretation and execution of laws.
Hence we believe that under your admin
istration its laws will be administered
with fidelity and integrity. l believe you
will be elected, and thereby lave an OPP
%portunity of rendering our country a SER
vice of unreasonable value, that will re-
dound to the honor of the democratic
party and the glory Of the republic.
