Refusal OF an Exeqiatur.


WASHINGTON Sept. THE objection
of the German Government to j. Martin
Miller as American Consul at Ax-la-C Cha
pelle will probably result in the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Miller to some consular posi-
ton in another country. The Imperial
Government took exception to Mr. Mller's
appointment and refused to grant his
exeuuatur on account Of certain things
Mr.. Miller, as war correspondent, wrote
about Germany. He described atrocities
by German troops in China during the
Boxer uprising at one time. and again ne
criticized the German Governments doings
in Samoa. Another time he published an
interview with Admiral Dewey in which
the course Of the German naval ofIacers
at the Ill Of Manila was criticized. These
are the reasons offered by the Government
at Berlin in sustaining their objection to
Mr.. Miller's presence in that country IN an
official capecity.

Hall headquarters and inaugurated the
campaign by fixing the dates for the various
local conventions. Senator P. H. McCar-
rem, the leader Of the organization and
chairman of the committee, presided.
All the Assembly districts were represented,
and the utmost harmony prevailed. Messrs.
Walsh, Farrell and boo ley. the only district
leaders who still avow allegiance to the
old Willoughby street regime, interposed
no objection to the program laid out by
Senator McCarren. A jubilant spirit pre-
vailed on all sides, and confidence was ex-
pressed that after primary day factional
differences would disappear and the 30 lid
Democratic forces be lined up for campaign
work. The dates for the conventions are
as follows:
County convention. Oct. I.
Municipal Court convention, Oct. Q.

At the close of the meeting Senator McCar-

Of a sweeping Democratic victory this year
not only in the city at large, but in the
Borough of Brooklyn. The question, he
said, Of selecting. the candidates for the
local ticket would not be taken up until
after the primaries on Sept. 10.

everyone realize that summer is
past and dead, and with the ap
proach of a season more pleasant
and invigorating and with the re-
turn of a great mum Der who spent
the warm days elsewhere, we
will, doubtless, find the coming
weeks frightened with many
social gayeties after the long
period of rest and inactivity.
The japanese garden party
given at the park Tuesday even
ing proved to be quite pie asant
event and was attended by a
large crowd of people who great
ly enjoyed the evenings pro-
gram. The park presented a
most attractive appearance with
strings of japanese lanterns
stretched across the grounds and
com Portable seats placed in all
directions. The band stand was
prettily decorated, and under
peath it Mrs. John d. Odeneal
and Mrs. Chas. Buder. with a
corps of assistants, served dellc-
ious cream and cake. Numerous
little girls with walters carried
refreshments over the grounds
and found great pleasure in work
ing for SO good cause. A note
worthy feature was the japanese
booth situated on the western
side of the park. This was
formed around a wide spreading
tree and was most effectively ar
ranged. Inside a bevy of girls
in gay kimonas dispensed sand
witches and tea. The booth,
which was a most popular rend-
ezvous, was presided over by
Misses Annie Stockard, Sallie
Foote, Margie Lee Caine. Mamie
Davis, Eugenia Moody. Mary
Askew, Claudia Blum and Emma
Armour. The musical program
was especi; lly pleasing. A quar-
tette composed of Mr.. Webb,
Mrs. Harry Darhiell, Miss
Theresa Malley and Mr.. Maer
sang Won't You Come Down
From the Big Fig Tree, and re-
sponded to an encore with Sc
vance River They were ac
panied by Mrs. Lou Ellen
Maer. Several numbers by the
Male Quartette were enthusiastic
ally applauded. From social
and financial standpoint the gar
den party was in every way a
most pronounced success and
will, doubtless, be repeated some
evening in the near future.
The Monteagle Assem- bly, has
had it's twenty third annual ses-
sion, and the great crowds which
have been present all the summer
are now scattered far and wide. It
is understood that the program
this season was better and the
attendance larger than ever be-
fore in the history of the asso |
citation. Columbus people who |
visited the chautauqua give most |
glowing accounts of the pleasures
and advantages to be obtained
here and many will doubtless
return for another season. The
mornings of the last week of the
Assem- bly, were devoted to Bible
lectures by the famous DR..
George B. Eager, of Louisville,
and the evenings were given up
mainly TO monologues and stories
in prose and verse by Miss
King. of Cincinnatti. Miss
Lillian Marsh, a remarkable
of fourteen years. was
also present.
Anum Der of Colum bians drove
out to the Tabernacle grounds
last Thursday morning and en-
joyed a delightful picnic. All
those who have visited this resort
give it such lavish praise and are
so impressed with the beauty of
the surrounding scenery that
