A Postal Card Race.

With view to testing the time re-
quirGd By postcard to go the round
of tie world and to ascertain also the
route sYnlCh the card should take to
accomplish its journey in the least pos
sible lumber of hours an interesting
experiment in the form of a competi-
ton " being made in Paris, says the
LonuQn Globe. At 3 o'clock one after
noon at the central postofflce and in the
presence Of number of witnesses 40
postcards sent by an equal number of
competitors who had beforehand Sc
cured The services of correspondents In
America and the far east were handed
in after examination by and on the
certificate Of a sheriff's officer. Some
will go by the Havre route, others by
Marseilles, by Cherbourg by South
amDton. After a few brief resting
places, necessitated by the time taken
by the correspondents In the United
States or in Asia to report them, the
postcards will return to Paris, when
the sender of the one that arrives first
will receive prize of money.

oerman sooialist. Grow Liberal.

German Socialists Grow Liberal.
German Socialists have not merely
departed widely from the tenets OF the
party in general, but the views of the
German reformers themselves have
changed radically within a generation.
At least this is the conclusion of Mr..
Lair, writing In the French Revue
Bleue, who says:
Ever since the Socialist party obtained
over 100000 votes 1t has been haunted
with the fear of losing them. The old rev.
dictionary sect has. therefore, been trans
formed into a great political party. This
party protests against the present or
ganzation of society and the state, but II
lives and acts within the frame of this
society and state. 1t has q programme
of supreme ends" but IT also manifests
a reforming activity, Ii takes part in the
political and municipal life, and through
its deputies Ia parliament 1t exercises a
practical and immediate influence. And
willingly or unwillingly the pursuit of
immediate reforms has attenuated the
force and power of the revolutionary ac-
ton. The Socialist deputies caught In the
wheels of the parliamentary machine
seem to believe more and more only in
political action. in efforts 10 create a
majority, to conquer power by legal
means. These have a real and durable
efficacy.
When once elected the Socialist deputies
are obliged to be careful of the feelings
of their constituents. and, as among the
5000, 900 Socialist voters there are only
about 100000 real Socialists, one can read
lily see the difficulty of holding together
these heterogeneous elements for the ma
jority of whom Socialism is merely vent
for discomfort
The Socialist vote in Germany has
augmented steadily and reached the
100000 mark about five years ago.
The party protests against militarism,
but is not annoyed by the existence Of
the army. The workmen who vote the
Socialist ticket rail against capital and
luxury, but encourage the development
Of commerce and the spread Of indus
trial activity. Mr.. Lair thinks that
should 1t become necessary for Ger
many to seek new commercial advan-
tages abroad by conquest the most
ferocious social reformers would fall
into line and support the state. In
other words, the drift is away from
ideal principles and toward opportun-

foR JEWISH coNFeoERATEs
Monument In Their Honor suggested
by so1fherners.

A writer to Baltimore paper sug-
gests that the Jewish soldiers of the
confederacy ought to be honored with
a monument as well as those of the
.Afederal army, memorial to whom
was lately unveiled in New York, says
fhe Baltimore Jewish Comment. That
khere were many Jewish soldiers who
3served in the southern army Is well
known. though 1t is not so well known
that, according to speaker at the
memorial exercises held lately at the
sJewish. cemetery In Richmond, Va,
Genpfal Cooper had said that there
we're between 10000 and $4,000 Jews
Mho wore the gray, and this statement
Vas made during the war In eXplana-
Hon of his refusalato grant them leave
ITO observe the fall holidays. The army
could not spare such large number.
Ten or twelve thousand may be an
exaggerated estimate, but 1t shows
conclusfvely that they were so numer-
Gus that the commanding officer had
notice of their numbers. Jews were
well scattered through the south dur
ing the civil war, and the communities
at Richmond, Charleston and Savan-
nah were quite large for those times
They bore their share of the battle,
fought with bravery, died on the field
and suffered the loss of their property
along with the impoverished of other
creeds. There is absolutely no ground
for the Statement lately made in an
illustrated New York weekly In an ar
ticle telling of the development of the
south that the war left all southern
people except the Jews poor.
In his address at the meeting in
Richmond John s. Eggleston said that
there were twenty-four Jewish staff
officers In the Confederate army and
eleven officers in the navy, and the
first surgeon general of the Confederate
army was q Jew-General David de
Leon So the Jewish soldier of the
south has right to recognition, and,
though he fought for lost cause, his
memory should not be lost too 1t is
quite possible that when the records
are made up the southern Jewish sol
der will have quite as proud a record
as his brother Of the north, whom
prominent men took pains lately to
honor. Wherever the Jew heard the
call for duty he answered, and 1t is
wonder that IL the south, where old
time loyalty and consideration still
hold sway, some attempt has not been
made to do Justice to the memory of
those men who took the field at the
call OF their state.

BARNEY GILMORE.

Supreme self sacrifice is the motive of "A Rocky Road to Dublin" winch Barney Gilmore will present for the consideration of his local admirers at Polls tonight. The story is that of big hearted, clean minded, upstanding young Irishman, who to save the repu- tation of the brother of the woman he loves takes the guilt of the others shame on himself and only wins his desire after three acts of an absorDing and natural play. Robert Daley, the role of the young bank clerk for which MT Gilmore is cast, offers finer possi- biiities for the players skill than any other character he has ever found He possesses the unctuous humor, the ready wit and the indomitably cheer ful courage, qualities in the simulat- ing of which Mir Gilmore is most hap py. The scenic environment of the play, which was written by Daniel L. Hart of ''The Parish Priest" lame, has been most carefully looked after by Messrs Haylin and Nicolai, who are managing Mir Gilmore's tour. and the patrons of Polls may be prepared for an unusually fine evenings enter tainment with the play, the players and Mir Gilmore's harp and vocal solos and his new dances. Prices are 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents.

BABY CZAREvITCH's REGIMENT.

When the baby CZarevitch was a few hours old he was gazetted to Pa yIovski regiment of the guard, one of the finest looking bodies of troops in Europe. No man can belong to this regiment unless his nose is decidedly turned up and the. more retrousee 1t is the more desirable the recruit.
 As might be imagined the regiment is not marked by comelineSs, but 1t is because Emperor Paul. whose nose had nostrils that caught the rain, con ceived the idea that he would collect a company of soldiers and officers possessed of the same extraordinary style of feature that the PaylOvsh regiment was so named. Paul was more than slightly mad, but his con servative descendants still pay him the honor of retaining his nosy regi- ment and recruiting it from the ugliest men in Russia.
 Another conservative observance in stituted by Emperor Paul is eompell- ing the Pavlovskis to blow their noses immediately before the appearance on the scene of the sovereign on the oc- casIon of any inspection by him of inc regiment. Baby Alexis. If he Is as observing as other kids. will be certain to comment on the proboscides of his guard. However. ft won't hurt their feelings. That is why they are there--B Boston Herald.

 NEWCASTLE. Ind, Sept. 14.-Chris Benzenhower's COW Liza has a whole field to herself since she ate five or six pounds of dynamite yesterday.
 Her owner. who is a prosperous farm CT near Newcastle, believes that she is about to blow up. and he does not want any of the rest of his stock to be Injured by flying fragments of Liza when she explodes.
 The COW was strolling along the bank of a creek. where some men are exca- vating. when she saw the dynamite, tasted it, liked 1t and swallowed the entire visible supply. One of the work men saw the last stick disappearing
 He called Liza pretty sookie" and nice old sob0ssr as a means of keep ing her quiet while he led her slowly away from her companions. It is said that if she had kicked up her heels or been at all boisterous there would have been no further need for blasting at the creek
 The neighbors are watching Liza from a distance. but the COW. unmind- ful of her peril. is alternately browsing and chewing her cud. as though she rather enjoyed being a bovine fire cracker.

form Meat Inspection.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-secretary Wilson will endeavor to get new beef inspection law from congress this win. ter. Since 1901, when the present act took effect providing for government inspection of meats, more applications for inspectors have been denied than granted.
 Inspectors have been allowed to for. ty-one packing houses, which means that the products of these houses can be exported, and ffty-six firms have been shut ott of the export business their requests for inspectors being re fused. As the law is now interpreted by the department of agriculture the packers who have been successful 1T their efforts to secure inspectors have a monopoly of the export trade as ab solute as though government conces sion had been granted, according to the custom in South American republics.
 The conditions under which the gov, ernment protects and is perpetuating 2 monopoly will be laid before the con gress. Secretary Wilson declines tc shoulder the responsibility for continu ance of the system. Whether managers of the beef trust understood the full force and effect of the law when it was enacted cannot be stated The govern ment, especially the secretary of agri culture. favored it at the time.

 With some of the other boys in my class" he said, T used to go to the theaters and act as 'supe.' We used to think it was great sport. Well. one night half a dozen of us were to go on as soldiers in II Trovatore,' in which Tamagno was singing. I was told that at certain cue I was to go on the stage, arrest the tenor and lead him off to prison. I was pretty well coached and full of self-confidence, but when I got my cue and saw the singer l almost decided to let him go on with his singing and not to under take to arrest him. I am nothing of a Hercules and the burly tenor look ed as though he could lick me with one hand. However, I went after him and what fight he put upi
 T knew that we were supposed to have sham struggle, but I hadn't expected him to thrash around the way he did I thought he was going to wipe up the stage with me.
 ''The precipitation began to pour over my grease paint and I was breathing pretty hard before he final ly allowed himself to be overcome and led away to jail. When we reached the wings Tamagno looked at me and laughed heartily. Well, well, young man. he said. skipping me on the back, you licked me. didn't you?

Is Not Permitting a Candidacy Fop
 President In 1908.
 CHICAGO, Sept If. T want te make my position perfectly clear. want to say to you that not only am not announcing candidacy, but I am not permitting a candidacy. I am not now a candidate for any office. I have never said that I would never again be a candidate for office, but want to say now that talk of candidacy for office does not affect me as 1t once did. I believe that my place in history will be determined not by what the people are able to do for me, but by what I am able to do for the people.
 ''I think 1t is now too soon to choose a candidate for president to make the race three years from now. It is too early to pledge ourselves to any one man.

Fourteen police boxes were burned, thirty-seven policemen injured and two civilians severely hurt. Many arrests were made.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

As true as an axiom in Euclid is the fact that as a topic of conversa- tion, "Dida," the headline attraction at the Jacques this week, has the latest New York elevated horror and the To- cal political situation driven to the shade of the sage brush for popular fty. The street corners, the thirst parlors and the fraternity rooms all ring with the question, Have you seen Dida? What do you think of it? How the Dickens do they do itT' "Dida" is great trick that when you know how it is done you will feel like going around the corner and throwing stones at yourself because you didn't see through it at once. But you don't know how it is done. no matter how many times you go to the Jacques to prove to yourself that the solution is easy. "Dida" has one great feature. The more you see of it and the oftener you decide you have the key to the puzzle. the less you really know about it. "Dida" is a real illusion and is the original undiluted six day wonder. As interestingly mysterious as ''Dida" is. just so funny and ludicrous is Hooked by Crook" the Mason-Keeler company's sketch which has tickled the disabilities of the Jacques patrons as few comedy skits have. Mir Ma sons piano playing is ingenious and he does just enough of it to make ev- eryone hunger for more. Lillian Tyce and Irene Jermon, the Irish girl and the sweet singer. are reaping old tri- umphs anew twice a day and as en- tertainers pre-eminent they are ably seconded by Kronet and Richards, Young and eYoie. Thomas and Payne. Morton. Temple and Morton, and the steadfast electrograph. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.
