A SURPRISE
WAS SPRUNG BY THE RATH-
BONE SISTERS.
THEY DROP INSURANCE
And Will be a Purely So.
Cial Order

Louisville, Ky, Aug. 1S.--Important
work was before all branches Of the
Pythians today. The Khorassans chose
Detroit as the meeting place for 1905
and voted to hold their meeting apart
from the main body. Their relations
with the Pythians are friendly but the
Khorassans have agreed to act inde-
pendently and will hereafter meet In
different cities and different year.
The Rathbone Sisters today sprung a
surprise by dropping the insurance fea-
ture of their order. Those already
insured will have their money refunded
after the finances Of the insurance fea-
ture have been audited. The Rathbone
Sisters will hereafter be an order
wholly social In nature. The merging
Of the Rathbone Sisters and the Pyth-
ian Sisterhool will be effected tomorrow
probably under the name Of Pythian
Sisterhood.
The supreme lodge today elected
Charles e. Shively, Of Richmond, Ind,
former supreme vice commander, as
supreme chancellor for the next two
years.

SENSATIONAL SUIT
Started BY the Former Husband Of
Amelia Rives.

Started BY the Former Husband Of
Amelia Rives.
New York. Aug. IA suit was in
stituted in the United States circuit
court yesterday by John Armstrong
Chanler, first husband of Amelia Rives,
now Princess Troubetzkoy, to recover
$263, ,523 from Thomas T. Sherman, who
was appointed commissioner of Chan
ler's estate and person after Chanler,
in 1897, had been declared insane and
committed to the Bioomingdale asylum
at White Plains.
The institution of the suit recalls the
story OF Chanler's sensational escape
from confinement. On Thanksgiving
eve, 1900, Chanler escaped from Bloom
ingdale and, though every effort was
made to capture him, he disappeared
for over year. Dr. Lyons, Of Bloom
ingdale, a year previous, had declared
Chanler a paranoaic and incurable.
Chanler made his appearance in Vir-
ginia and there, before the Albemarle
county court, he was adjudged sane.
Chanler now seeks restitution Of his
estate.
Chanler, who is As years old, was
married in 1888 to Amelia Rives, author
Of "The Quick and the Dead" Two
years later proceedings for divorce
were began on the ground of incom-
paubility Of temperament Mrs. Cham
Ter married Prince Troubetzkoy imme-
diately after the divorce was granted.

MAY BE PRESIDENT.
Charley Diek's Career Foretold by q
Fortune Teller.

Charley Dicks Career Foretold by q
Fortune Teller.
Every little while correspondent
in Washington springs q new story
about Senator Dick. The following
story from the pen of George U. Mar
win, well known correspondent
whose home in in this city, is the lat
test:
Senator Dicks rise to greatness
was foretold more than 80 years ago
and foretold by fortune teller in his
native town of Akron. Dick was q
youngster then, living in the south
end of the town, and like all WE'LL
reared boys, allowed to play during
the summer in bare feet and none too
much wearing apparel.
"One day a company of men and
women belonging to the more exclu-
sive set of the city visited the for
tune teller while on lark. Young
Dick, attracted by the sight, slipped
up to the door of the old woman and
peered in. His appearance was per-
haps somewhat amusing, and the COM
pany of visitors, seeing him in the
doorway, bareheaded and without
shoes, made him the butt of rather
severe joke.
"The fortune teller was angered,
and, shaking her cane, cried out:
Don't laugh at that boy. He Ia going
to be greater than any of you. He
will go to congress and be in the SEN
afn hn hn .
Part of the prediction has come true,
and Dick is undoubtedly willing that
1t shall be fulfilled to the letter."

WHEAT CROP
Reported Badly Injured
by Rust

st. Paul, MINI. Aug. 1S.-Reports
from seventy points In Minnesota and
North Dakota and few in Manitoba
indicate that injury to the wheat crop
done by rust is great beyond all doubt.
1t is said the damage will reach to forty
per cent in Red River valley and in
North Dakota will run so high as
sixty per cent.
The resume shows that the yield for
Minnesota and North and South Dako-
ia, which had been estimated at two
hundred and fifteen million bushels will
be reduced to approximately one nun
dred and fifty millions.
Conditions have become suddenly
worse in Manitoba and there will be
loss of nearly nifty per cent in both
volume and quality extending over the
entire province.

speech Of Henry Gassaway Davis, vice
presidential candidate to the notifica-
ton committee and Immediately there
after sent his running mate the follow
ing telegram:
Accept my congratulations upon
your excellent speech OF acceptance"
(signed) ALTON B. PARKER" :"
Numerous callers occupied the rest Of
the day. They began to come early
this morning when Henry Loomis Mel
son, professor of political economy at
Williams college, arrived to get data
for story for book. At noon United
States Senator Overton OF North Caro-
lima came to see the nominee for the
first time and stay ed two hours. He said
he was not going to mix up in the cam
paign outside Of his own state but
would make speeches in North Caro-
lima.
Representative John Fitzgerald, Of
Brooklyn, got into town at o'clock.
lie has been collecting Judge Parker's
decisions bearing upon the labor ques-
ION for use upon the stump, and want
ed to consult the nominee before he
begins his tour of the east and west,
to appeal to the laboring classes.
Other callers we're Mr.. and Mrs.
James Creelman, and Mr.. and Mrs. s.
E. Watson, of New York.
If nothing occurs to prevent the con-
ttmplated trip to the st. Louis expo
sition, the Judge and Mrs. Parker will
make the journey In time to attend the
arnual meeting of the American Bar
association, which meets In the worlds
fair city on September 26. The Judge
is member Of the association. He
will remain in st. Louis less than
week, returning before the celebration
OF New York day. If he decides to
make any speeches during the trip, he
will deliver them on his way home.
According to present plans, which
are not final, Judge Parker will speak
at Indianapolis and at Chicago, and
NAV yield to a pressing invitation
which has come from Ohio. 1t Is ad-
mitted, that great pressure has been
brought to bear upon him from many
influential quarters, to take the stump
this fall and make short swing
around the circle. But the nominee has
decided that only the national commit
tee can prevail upon him to deliver
more than three or four addresses and
as yet the committee has not inform
ed him of its wishes.
Justice Morgan J. O'Brien, of New
York, who is perhaps Judge Parker's
closest personal friend arrived early
this evening and Wa. be an overnight
guest at Rosemount.

RUBBER BALL
VIII Roll to the Pole II This Inventor
Has His way,

VIII Roll to the Pole II This Inventor
Has His Way.
A novel scheme to reach the Pole
has been devised by Peter Nissen, Of
Chicago, whose purpose it is to start
himself up in gigantic air-bag and
to be blown northward over the Arctic
ice and snow. This huge ball, he
thinks, would roll over a small cot
tage, as an ordinary pneumatic tire
rolls over stone.
Nissen Is quoted as saying:
During the most of the three years
that DR.. Nansen has been in the ice he
looked for high points in the pressure
ridges In order to climb them to look
for another ice. He says: On May
19 climbed to the top of the highest
hummock I have ever mounted.
measured roughly and made it out
to be about "a feet above the ice;
but as the latter was considerably
above the surface of the water the
height was probably 80 feet
Now, give me this balloon filled
with air to the pressure of one half
ounce to the square inch; give me
an ordinary Northwestern blizzard at
the rate of rs miles an hour, and l
will guarantee to travel over such
hummocks faster and smoother than
the Empire State Express on the fir
est track In Christendom.
Already an experimental ball has
been constructed and tried in Lake
Michigan. The ball Is 80 feet long
and 20 feet in diameter. Through the
center runs a steel axle, which is
held In place by numerous ropes,
which radiate out like the
spokes of bicycle. On this axle
boat is suspended on which the trav-
eler sits. At one end Is window,
and at the other end is a small door
that will just admit the body of q
man. A contraction of about six inches
takes place every time one goes in or
out On the inside there Is a sue
tion pump to be used to replace the
air that escapes and also supply fresh
air for the existence Of man.
"The ball is made of heavy canvas,
of a fine texture, the seams being
carefully sewed with silk and the
outside treated with several coats OF
waterproof varnish.
"The ball have just described was
built only for experimental purposes
and short journeys, the advantage be-
ing that 1t can travel over land and
sea and with equal ease can roll
over the rugged hills that obstruct
the path or float peacefully on the
surface of the water. The one he In
tends to construct for his Arctic ex-
pedition is to be much larger, being
of dimensions 115 feet by rs feet"
The cost of these experiments. MFR.
Braun tells us, has been borne entire
ly by Nissen, as he has everything
else pertaining to his invention. He
has already spent about $400, and ex-
poets to spend more before he has
gained sufficient confidence among the
people to back him up in his Arctic
expedition Nissen Is said to have re-
fused tempting offers from managers
OF amusement enterprises, and to be
quite in earnest in his plans.

QUITE A KICK
REGISTERED BY NEW PHIL.
AOElPHiANS
CHARGE FAvORI TEISM
On the Part of Street
Railway Go.

According to the New Philadelphia
Democrat and Times, the merchants Of
that city are kicking because the Can
ton-New Philadelphia Railway COM
paiy gave 55 cent rate for the shop
ping excursion to this city and charged
the merchants Of New Philadelphia
76 cents when they had their outing
at Meyers lake. The Kick registered
by the paper Is as follows:
There is, what seems to us, q
righteous kick being registered against
the GIN. p. electric line, in what is
claimed to be discrimination in rates
Of fare. Among the liberal class Of our
home merchants, there isn't any special
knocking because Of the new competi-
ton the road has helped to bring, but
their only objection is that our own
city has been Disseminated against in
the matter Of excursion rates. Our
merchants do not fear that the prices
of goods at Canton will be lower than
they are here, for goods can be and are
purchased in such liberal quantities
here that the lowest OF prices can be
secured. Our merchants generally,
have good commercial ratings in Brad
street, in Dun q Go. and enjoy excel
lent financial standing among whole
salers. Under these conditions they are
liable to buy as cheap as the merchants
Of Canton can. II Canton's merchants
can undersell them, they will not COM
plain.
what they do complain Of Is an ap-
parent discrimination In the matter Of
rates.
For instance; the business men Of
New Philadelphia ran an excursion to
Canton, or rather Meyers lake, taking
on that day about 500 people. These
merchants, working as q unit, couldn't
get rate less than 75 cents, SO one Of
them informed the editor Of this paper.
But here comes an excursion to Can
ton, in which but few over 100 went,
and the round trip tickets were sold for
IS cents, q difference in favor Of Cam
ton of 20 cents . person. II the C.-N.
p. can carry 100 passengers at the rate
OF IS cents, why should not as low q
rate be given to 900 passenger? That
is q question which the business men
Of New Philadelphia would like to
have answered.
"This matter will be still further
agitated and II New Philadelphia is to
be Disseminated against It Is possible
that some retaliatory steps will be
taken. Whether they are taken or
whether the merchants will blindly
close their eyes to the fates that are
depressing them, remains to be seen,
but one thing 10 certain that 1t ia in
Justice to give one what 10 denied the
other. II Canton merchants can get a
80 cent rate, the same favor should be
granted to our local merchants. when
other conditions are the same.
1T Ii true that Canton merchants
advertised very literally all through
this section-they used printers ink
in abundance-and were therefore sure
Of q crowd. but the reduced rate given
them was refused New Philadelphia's
