HORSE IN CHURCH
WHERE MARY WENT.
Intelligent Animal Seeks His Mistresa

Intelligent Animal Seeks His Mistresa
Inside the Church During Services.
Stories of animal intelligence are nu-
merous enough in the fiction of Seton
Thompson or of Jack London. where
they are enjoyed II not believed. 1t is
rare indeed, says the Pueblo Chieftain,
that we find living example of dumb
sagacity, but Pueblo has at least one
in Dan" the aged horse of Mrs. Mary
Carter, of 2404 Carthage avenue.
Dan" has been the property OF Mrs.
Carter, who is a colored domestic and
well known among the housewives OF
the city. for the greater part OF his
life. He has carried her daily to and
from the town to the home in the out
skirts of Irving Place and has faith
fully drawn behind him the wagon
loaded with wash and linen. To Mrs.
Carter, who is widow, he has become
more than mere driving horse; he is
a companion. Gifted with rare horse
sense he has had 1t improved under
the kindly teachings 6 his mistress.
The one exhibition of intelligence
that has made Dan" forever famous
among the .colored Inhabitants was his
exploit last Sunday. In the midst OF
the Sunday morning services at the
Colored Baptist church on Eighth
street and Elizabeth, the congregation
was surprised to see the head OF q
horse appear in the main doorway, look
curiously around as though in search
of something and then with snort,
being satisfied that the place was ap-
parently the right one. stalk noisily IN.
He was without rope or halter.
Straight toward Mrs. Carter. who had
arisen with astonishment and embar-
rassment written large on her face,
and had involuntarily called out,
Dan" the animal walked.
In the aisle in the middle of the
church he greeted his mistress with a
friendly rub of the nose on her sleeve.
The congregation was not long in
grasping the situation. The solemnity
of the occasion was forgotten and
everyone Joined in a shout of laughter
and appreciation. No guest had ever
received so warm welcome.
Mrs. Carter hurried in her embar-
assment to a neighbor-"Dan'> fol-
lowing-and secured rope. With this
he was led home behind buggy in
which sat the proud mistress.
Mrs. Carter later explained that in
the morning. as she was in the habit
of doing. she went out into the field to
find Dan with the intention OF
hitching him to the buggy and driving
to church, a distance of three miles.
The horse was nowhere to be found. SO
she decided to take an Irving Place
car to the city. Dams" sudden ap-
pearance in church two hours later,
after coming without rope or halter
and all alone the entire distance, was
the next she knew of her pet.
The remarkable part of the horses
intelligence is that he seemed to know
that 1t was Sunday and that she would
be in church. Once week he was in
the habit of standing in front of the
church, but the rest of the week he
never was driven near the place. The
performance implies that he can in
stinctively count the days and knows
the habits of his mistress for each day.

Turkey Yields to Threats.

Vienna. July 11.-A dispatch from
Constantinople says that American
Minister Leishman handed a note to
the Porte declaring that unless a
prompt settlement of the school ques-
ton was arranged a United States fleet
would appear in Turkish waters. The
Sultan ordered the grand vizier to COM
ply with the American minister's de-
mands.
The American demands upon the Sui
tan are for privileges to schools and
colleges conducted by American teach
ers equal to those given to foreign
teachers; for permission for American
professional men to practice on even
terms with foreigners, and for the di-
rect access of the American minister to
the Sultan in the transaction Of busi-
ness.

PHILIPPINE HOMES.
Many Interesting Facts Disclosed by
the Census Report

The revised figures of the Philip
pine Census Bureau have been given
out, and a population of 7,635.426 is
given to the archipelago. OF this num-
ber 6,9S7 .6S6 are civilized, or partly so.
while 647,740 are wild and uncivilized.
although not without some knowledge
of the domestic arts.
In regard to the public land of the
Philippine archipelago, the report
says:
Setting aside the intermediate
water space, amounting to 717.942
square miles, and considering the land
alone, the area is estimated to be 49,
O26 square miles. or 73,616,64b acres.
lands and over 61.OO0.O00 public land.
OF the latter, 4O,OOO.O 900 or more are
forest lands, leaving about 21,O00,000
available for agriculture.
Much of the land covered by for
ests is of great richness, and II
cleared would be capable of very
high degree of cultivation. This may
be said of nearly all parts of the Phil
ippines in which the soil is especially
adapted to tropical agriculture. pro-
ducing all kinds of tropical fruits and
vegetables and many of those equal to
the temperate zone.
Under existing LAWS a homestead
of 1884 acres may be acquired by any
citizen Of the Philippine islands. while
corporation can acquire $3.50
acres. The grant or sale of land is
conditioned on actual and continued
occupancy. improvement and cultiva-
tion of the premises for period Of not
less than five years, during which time
the purchaser or grantor cannot alien
ate or cucumber the land or the title
thereto.
The Philippine islands offer many
inducements to the immigrant, and
for the investment of capital, in either
large or small amounts. Although
within the tropics. the climate is not
detrimental to those who are in good
health when they arrive and who take
reasonable care of themselves after.

RAYS From Sounding Bodies.

The so-called N-rays, the new form
of invisible light, discovered by Blond
lot, in France. is found to be given OFF
by bodies under strain, as in compress
sion of bending. Hence vibratory
body, such as tuning fork or bell
which is undergoing rapid alternating
strains. is source of the rays. which
also emanate from the vibrating air
surrounding sonorous body. The
rays are detected by their property OF
increasing the brilliancy of Il phosphor-
escent substance. When the revolving
disk of a siren is made slightly phos'
phorescent it is seen to shine out
more strongly every time the instru-
ment is sounded.-Success.

mated by Democrats on First Bal
iot.-only Four Other Names Pre-
sented.
St. Louis. July 10.-At 1913 o'clock
this Sunday morning, after night
of the most heated oratory over Judge
Parker's telegram, former Senator
Henry G. Davis OF West Virginia was
nominated for vice president by the
Democratic national convention on the
first ballot over four other candidates.
Then. at 1892 O'Clock. the .conven-
tion adjourned sine die.
The total votes cast were:
For Williams l65
For Davis Observation-Disclosures. 664
On motion of Governor Beckham OF
Kentucky, Davis nomination was
made unanimous.
Shortly before the session convened,
the rumor that Davis of West Virginia
had been agreed upon by the leaders
for the vice presidency went rapidly
through the hall and delegates gath
cred in groups to discuss the situation.
1t was 5:37 O'Clock when the first
sign of opening the session was made.
Chairman Clark called the convention
to order and directed the delegates to
take their seats. Representative John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi was
recognized and moved that nomiRatT
ing speeches should be limited to tif-
teen minutes and seconding speeches
to five minutes. and that no more than
four seconding speeches be allowed
for any one nomination.
Ball of Texas offered substitute
ir,,tt tfy,f, inn inn
ten minutes, leaving the time of the
seconding speeches at five minutes and
the number at three. Mr.. Williams
at once withdrew his motion in favor
of the substitute and it. was adopted
without discussion.
Alabama was called several times
with no response but finally Mr.. Rus
sell of that state announced that Ala
bama would give way to Illinois.
F. B. Morris took the platform to
name James r. Williams of Illinois.
Colorado yielded to Washington and
Chairman Clark recognized Frederick
c. Robertson of that state. who spoke
for ex-senator George Turner.
Delaware gave her place on the call
to West Virginia and the chair recog-
nized John ID. Anderson of that state,
who placed in nomination Henry G..
Davis of West Virginia. A vigorous
round of applause came from the dele
gates when Mr.. Davis name was men
toned. but little from the galleries.
David Overmeyer Of Kansas placed
ex-senator William A. Harris of that
state in nomination in brief speech
from the floor.
Senator E. w. Carmack of Tennes-
see was placed in nomination by Dele
gate Hersey OF that state. Mr. Her
sey spoke from his chair and his

TOO sweeping in it's provisions.
Right here We wish to say that if
the authorities will return to the orr
ginial dispenssry law it will answer
all purposes, for it leaves the sale Of
liquor not optional by counties but
by towns, which alone have the right
to reject or accept the dispensary.
The change in establishing dispen-
ssries against the will of the people
is entirely wrong. It was the in
tention of the people when they voted
for the dispensary to curtail the use
of liquor as a beverage and not to
open the doors and make it quite so
easy for inebriates to get it. Let US
return to the first law which is far
preferable to the amendments enact
cd since. The crowd was large, and
the dinner good, and served by Lor-
ick & Counts in Shealy's gin house
