RINGS FOR THE ATHLETIC GIRL

hlNbS fOlt I1E Al IL lIEllC GlltlI.
Curious little finger rings, symbolic.
ing in design the various summer
sports, are worn by athletic girls and
make pretty and appropriate prizes for
golf matches, boat races, etc.
The golf ring is golf stick twisted
into circle, the gold is corrugated
to reproduce the heavy. leather-covered
handle, and pearl ball ornaments the
tip.
The rowing ring is light, delicately
made and very pretty. The oar is the
thin. curving spoon oar of the racing
shell.
The hunting ring is horn twisted
into circle with fox's head for an
ornament. A riding crop with a horses
head is pretty device also.
None of these rings, says the New
York Globe, is very expensive, al
though the luxurious may embells..
and elaborate them. haying the heads
of diamonds, etc. In the simpler form
they seem far more appropriate and in
better taste.

LoRIMER's NEW BOOK.
"old Gorgon Graham" Is in Process of
Publication.

The readers of THE Letters of a Self
Made Merchant to His Son. and those
readers were many, will welcome the
announcement that George H. Lorimer
has another book ready for publication.
1t is called "Old Gorgon Graham" and
is, like its predecessor, in the form of
letters; but the new letters tell the self
made merchants own story and do not
concern themselves with the son.
Mr. Lorimer who is the editor of the
Saturday Evening Post and was a sue
cessful business man before he became
a successful literary man, was strongly
urged to follow his Letters of a Self
Made Merchant by a volume of letters
from the son to the self-made father
but he declined to cheaper the first sue
cess by so obvious a trading upon it
However. he received scores upon
scores of letters begging him to tell
more about the old man." and at last
he yielded to these suggestions. The
new book, which promises to be one of
the very successful books of the year,
will be published by Doubleday, Page
& Co.

judges of both the law and the facts.
The liberty of the press was secure from
assault and the people became equipped
with the most powerful weapon for sue
cessfu1ly combating arbitrary power, the
right of freely criticising the conduct of
public men, more than fifty years be-
fore the celebrated trial of "Junius"
gave the same privilege to the people Of
England.
The refusal of the grand jury to indict
Zenger, the disbarment of two of the
most prominent attorneys of the time,
and other acts, created great public in
terest in the trial.
Andrew Hamilton, of Philadelphia, en-
gagged to defend Zenger, admitting the
publication of the papers, pleaded the
truth of the alleged libels, and contra
dieting the legal maxims of the day,
1.-The greater truth the greater the libel"
insisted upon the right of the jury it
self to determine the question.
The verdict of not guilty was received
with applause, and is today recognized
as the first decisive case that made the
liberty of the press in America.
The series of unjust and oppressive
acts of which this trial was the Gull
mination had very direct bearing upon
the commencement of the American
Revolution.

POTWIN SEWER FIGHT.

1t is likely that the Potwin sewer
fight will break into the city council
this evening Some of the councilmen
will ask that the city engineer be in
structed to make a report on the size
which is necessary for the proposed new
Sixth ward sewer.
Colonel Hughes and his hackers in the
fight for councilman claim that the
present 15-inch Potwin sewer main is
large enough to accommodate all the
sewage from the entire Sixth ward. The
city engineer has stated in his report
that a 36-inch sewer is necessary. The
opponents of Colonel Hughes want to
get it definitely on record that Colonel
Hughes is wrong, and they will ask for
a supplemental investigation.
City Engineer McCabe said today:
There is not a bit of question in my
mind that 36-inch sewer is necessary.
If the city wants to have an outside en-
giueer come here and figure on the pro-
feet, I will agree to pay the bill If he
does not say that a S6-inch main is the
smallest which could possibly be put

telegram denying the testimony of
Joseph F. Smith, president of the Nor

the originator of the doctrine of polyg-
amy. Chairman Burrows has caused
subpoenas to be issued for Messrs.
Shupe and Tabor.
The telegram to Senator Burrows de-
clares as untrue the statement of Pres
handing polygamy was first given to
Joseph Smith, jr. 1t asserts that
Brigham Young alone is responsible for
that 'tpernicious doctrine" and that
the polygamy religion was introduced
first by Brigham Young in 1852, nearly
nine years after the death of Joseph
Smith, who never had but one wife,"
The telegram continues:
Statements to the contrary are false.
Ask Smith to show any children from
any of the alleged plural wives of the
first Joseph Smith. The courts have
declared that the Utah Mormon CHI Irch
is not like the church organized by
Joseph Smith and that the first Nor
mon church's successor is the reorgan-
lied Latter Day Saints, headquarters

sand honorable members who do not
believe in or practice polygamy.
The Mormon covenants were chang
ed in 1876 and what purports to be the
polygamy revelation was inserted. The
original book does not contain such a
doctrine. If you will exame section AZ,
book of Mormon, page 116, you will find
it condemns polygamy in the strongest
terms"
