WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUG. 9, 1905.

THE MEETING last night at the Opera
House was a genuine democratic rally,
and considerable enthusiasm was mani
tested BY the many present. The first
speaker, Mr.. j. Taylor EliysOn, stall
wart of the stalwarts, whose name is so
familiar 10 all in the Old Dominion,
and whose iabOrs in behalf of the demo-
cratic party in the State are so justly
appreciated. gave a most encouraging
account of the political conditions in
Virginia, and stated with the utmost
assurance tina. republican dreams as to
the outcome next November would
be disslpated as they ever have been
by the usual sweeping democratic vic
tory. Mr.. Swanson, who followed en-
listed the attention of his audience for
about en- hour and half. He was at
his best, and he spoke with fervor.
His speech abounded in instruction,
patriotism and fidelity to the democratic
party, while it was puuctuated with
pleasantly which was greatly relished.
Judge Williams, the last speaker,
proved to be an orator to the manner
born, and while his remarks were briei
they abounded in practical observations
which naturally impressed his hearers.
The primary election is less than two
weeks off, and from all that can be
learned the democratic party is in the
best condition. The candidates nomi-
mated will, as usual, receive the undi-
vided vote of the organization at the
general election in November.

Attempted Suicide.

New Haven, Aug. 9.-Owen Austin
Garnsey, a student at Sheffield Scientific
School up to 1904, when he left the
school, who attempted suicide in this
city last midnight, was reported at the
hospital today as doing as well as could
be expected. Garnsey was found on the
steps of the house of DR.. II. NJ. Welch, at
A College street. A young woman was
with him. The doctor sent him to the
hospital where it was ascertained he had
taken tables of bichloride of mercury.
The poison was pumped out Of his
stomach, and he has a slight chance
of recovery. The young woman who
was with Garnsey called at the hospital,
but neither she or Garnsey would give
information about themselves. Garn-
sey's name was found in a bank book
which he carried which gave his address
as pa Central Park West New York City.
His relatives were notified and this morn
ing came here. They declined to make
any statement as to the cause of the man
act and claim not to know the young
woman who was with him, and who bad
disappeared this morning.

URGING THE maintenance of high
protective tariff as the one thing needful
for the growth and development OF Nir-
ginia's resources, Secretary of the Treas
ury Shaw appealed to the republican
State convention in Roanoke yesterday
for a perpetuation of party rule in ma
tional affairs. 1t was partisan address,
teeming with fulsOme praise OF the ad-
ininistratiOn and emphasized only by a
bitter attack upon every democratic policy
that has ever been put in operation. Re-
membering for a moment the noble men
that Virginia has given to the democratic
party-men whose utterances and deeds
have ilumined the pages of American
history and helped to make the republic
great, and fearful that he might have
gone too far-he ceased his attack long
enough to say "Please do not misun-
derstand me. | bring no criticism of
the members of the opposite party. As
good men as ever lived, as patriotic citi-
zens as ever breathed, as good business
men as | know, and as good friends as !
now cherish, disagree with me political
w." He then went on to say: eff
Virginia has not maintained her pres
tige it is because factional devotion to
traditions has supplanted that thought
full considerations Of public questions
which marked the careers of the
fathers" Secretary Shaw should be
told that whenever Virginia failed to
maintain her prestige it was when she
was under republican rule.

ness when the trial of the Taggart di-
vorce case was recommended this morn

morning Fortesque came again and sat
in the parOr. He stayed half an hour.
Mrs. Taggart wore japanese night

entered without ringing the bell. He

Bakers Strike.

New York, Aug. 9.--An attempt was
made today to settle the strike of the
"KOsher" bakers of the East Side, which
has resulted in almost bringing bread
famine upon that popuous district, but
it failed because of the refusal of the EN-
ployers to recognize the bakers union.
A ten-hour work day and a wage scale
of $50 week for first bakers and SO
a week for hel pers was offered by the
bosses, but declined because OF the re-
fusal to recognize the union. Samuel
Kurtz, leader of the strikers, threatened
today that a sympathetic strike in other
than the "KOsher' bakeries would re-
suit if the fight goes on much longer.
There was more trouble today as a result
of the strike and attacks were made
on vendors who tried to sell bread in the
Jewish quarter. In numerous instances
the carts of the vendors were overturned
and the bread trampled under foot by
the strikers and their sympathizers. 1t
was noticeable that Jewish women and
girls were the leading spirits in these at
tacks. The shops of several bakers who
tried to sell bread were ralded and the
stock was destroyed The police Of four
stations had hard time trying to keep
order.

BOWsER's QUIET DAY.
He Fails to Perform and Worries
Mrs. BOwser.

When breakfast had been concluded
the other morning Mr.. BOWser lighted
a cigar and sauntered out into the back
yard to see how many clOthespins were
getting ready TO blossom with the Gro
cuses, and at the end OF half an hour
Mrs Bowser called from one of the
back windows:
Wont you be late at the office this
morning.
Il am going to take a day off, was
his quiet reply.
Mrs. Bowser's knees began to shake.
His day off meant that he would want
to overhaul the house from top to bot
tom, and he would be almost certain
to NEEDLE with the water pipes and gas
meter and bring about some sort of ca
lamity She went about with palpi-

but when she looked out again she was
somewhat relieved to find him seated
on an old wash bench and strOking the
cat in a fatherly way. Now and then
he glanced up at the chimneys and
the roof as if making g mental calcula-
ton, but at 10 o'clock he shifted around
onto the front steps and settled down
as If he meant to stay there She pres
emily made an excuse to get out there
and inquire:

She could think of nothing more and
She left him, but as she went about
doing the upstairs work she kept a gen
eral eye on him from an open window.
Tt was not long before a man came
along and halted at the gate to say:
Why Bowser, you home? I was
thinking of going over to the office to
see you. 7 know where you can get an
auto for half price"

and made answer in the gentlest tones
At he ate dinner. From 7 to 9 he
talked with Mrs. BoNser on various
subjects, always placing her opinions
in advance of his own, and at 9 he
locked up the house, turned off the
gas and went to bed. Mrs. Bowser
tremblingly followed, wondering what
calamity impended, and four or five
times during the night she awoke and
listened to hear if he was breathing all
right She was dreaming that he was
dead when his old time voice aroused
her. It was morning and he was
dressing and saying:
who in the Old Harry kicked my
collar under the bed? If this isn't the

When luncheon was over he stood
around for awhile, and then putting
on his hat he strolled over to the
butchers. AS he never entered the
shop except to kick the butcher began
to bristle up and get ready for a row.
None came, however. Instead of a
kick Mr.. Bowser softly observed:

ment in the meat during the last three
months that I thought I'd drop in and
tell you how pleased and satisfied I
am. If every one had as conscientious
a butcher as you are things would run

ton to them. They do look nice

Yes, they are fine, but guess I don't
want any"
How about beets?"
No beets, thank you. Call again as

Mr. Bowser's attitude not only made
Mrs. Bowser gasp for breath, but the
peddler turned pale and mounted his
wagon and got around the nearest cor
ner as fast as he could There he met
another of his kind coming from the
opposite direction and shouted at him:

Between that hour and q o'clock Mr..
Bowser encountered an old man. a how
distributing bills and a mender of tin
ware, and his reception of them was so
kind and gentle that Mrs. Bowser told
the cook to have lunch on the very
minute, and to hold herself in readf-
ness to run the instant she heard anv
strange rumbles. At the lunch table
she asked;

to drop in and apologize. Unfort1l-

HOME TRAINING.

There Is a good point in every youth
that is often brought out by severe
training, and there are noble elements
that are crushed out by wrong train
ing. Children should be trained for
church and state. They should not be
governed after sentiment, passion or
whim. Weeds grow, but flowers need
cultivation. True liberty is freedom,
and freedom is to do good. The neces-
sity of obedience is manifest, obedi-
ence is a mark of self mastery. DISC
bedience is destructive to the family
and individual knowledge of God is
the basis of character. An atheist is
fool because there is nothing in him.
Man without God is empty.-Rev. w.
D. LUken. Baptist. Philadelphia.
LOOK OUT FOR THE HALF HOURS
Young man. be careful about the
few moments which you have been
wasting each day Guard those extra
few moments for intelligent study
Look out for that wasted half hour
during the midday meal. Look out for
the time you have been accustomed
to spend every morning and evening
in the street car on your way to bust
ness looking idly around or trying to
pass it away in reading the advertise
nents or the sporting columns in the
daily NEWSPAPERS Look out for that
half hour which you fool away in your
room. before you turn in for the night
A gigantic work of intellectual
growth can be done if only few
wasted moments of each day are gath
cred uD for close application to books.
