scANLoN FIRES HOT SHOT.

Prof Chas. Scanlon, Field Secre-
tary of the Temperance Committee
of the General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church, was introduced. He
told in terse English why he did
not support President Roosevelt and
other good men in the other parties.
The Republican party contains no bet
ter man personally than w. J. Bryan but
the speaker did not approve of the posi-
ton of his party upon the saloon issue
and was compelled therefore to withhold
his support from him. For the same
reason he could not give his ballot to the
better class of candidates in the Republi-
can party. In most sarcastic fashion he
scored the belief of some ministers that
we must fight 'fsin in general and
showed that we pursued no such policy
in relation to slavery, Mormonism, the
Louisiana lottery and other evils which
have been overthrown. He closed with
a cheering report of the temperance work
being carried on by his church.
1t was nearly midnight when the
splendid gathering adjourned and it
is safe to say that all went to their
homes with a more earnest determine
ton to consecrate their best endeavor
to the prohibition cause than has
ever before inspired them.

He weighs 209 pounds.
At Frenchburg. Menifee county, Ky, Mrs.
Julia McGraw is on trial on the charge OF

A trial of unusual interest is in progress at
Rome, Ga, in which Capt. w. T. Sanford is
accused of the murder of George Wright, whom
he suspected Of too close intimacy with his
wife. If she would confess such intimacy he
would be acquitted. This she refuses to do.
During thunderstorm on the night of Au-
gust 4, the large barn on the farm OF Emory
Myers, near York Springs, Pa, was struck by
lightning and burned. The seasons crops
and farming machinery were consumed, but

The President has approved the sentence OF
dismissal from the Army imposed by court
martial for First Lieutenant Marion b. Will

of tropical nature. The thunderous clouds
let fall a food of water, which swamped the
streets of low lying sections flooded thousands
of cellars and wrought havoc throughout the
city. The walls of two houses at American
street and Linden place collapsed, hurting an
aged man and woman into the wreckage.
The man, John Hambecker, may die as a re-
suit of his injuries. His wife is also seriously
hurt. Bolts of lightning struck several houses
and trolley poles, and in one instance, at
Thompson and Mascher streets, two persons
were shocked. Merchants and householders
suffered losses to the extent of many thousands
of dollars by the great volume of water which
banked up at the mouths of sewers and spread
over adjacent sections. All work on streets
and underground piping was interrupted.
Many streetbeds in the northeastern part of
the city were washed away, spreading paving
stones and gravel for hundreds of yards
around.

not much interested in the amendment,
and am inclined to believe that some Re-
publicans here will support it. The same
thing is probably true of Garrett and
Washington counties. We have practi-
cally no negro question this side of the
Blue Ridge mountains. The lack of in
terest among Republicans in these counties
on the amendment is my reason for urging
more activity upon the part of the State
Committee. This is practically our only
issue this time.
AGAINST IT, But NOT sTRENUoUsLY so.
Surely, you yourself are against the
amendment, Senator
YES" he replied, slowly, II am
against the amendment Then he went
on to discuss it in very academic sort of
way, expressing his disapproval of any
movement tending to limit the suffrage as
a step backward. But he approached the
subject calmly, and did not show any of the
intense feeling which is characteristic of
Republicans of the Eastern Shore, South
ern and Central Maryland when they are
talking on this all-absorbing topic. In
fact, former Senator Wellington S words
gave the impression that he considered the
amendment to be question which did not
directly concern him, but which he felt it
his duty to consider, weighing carefully the
arguments pro and con. If many Repub-
licans in the western section Of the State
look upon the amendment fight in the same
way, there will be big majorities in favor
of the Poe measure in this section unless
the Republican Committee can do some
very effective missionary work between
now and election day

| FROM lnulaHapollS NcWs.
Some time ago, in small town of the
middle West, young man who was just
beginning to work as journeyman carpen-
ter was hired to patch a fence by one Of
the petty officeholders of the place.
| ''Don't put any unnecessary work on 1t,
the man said. II just want it sufficiently

being over there out of sight behind the
shrubbery, it won't matter what it looks

The young man went to work, and spent
the best part of the day on the job. When
he went for his pay his employer said,
''You haven't ust finished, have you?
What : the matter with you, anyway
and he went out to look at the patch.
1t was not only substantially done, but
with the utmost neatness and care.
II told you | didn't care how it looked,

"Well, you re mighty foolish boy,
that's all I've got to say, replied the
other. turning on his heel as he handed
over the money.
Not long after this the young carpenter
went to neighboring town and steadily
worked his way up. Some ten years later
the owner Of the patched fence had risen
to the position Of county commissioner, and
his little town was growing city, about
to erect IL number Of fine municipal build
ings Among the many applicants for the
contract, besides being an important one
financially would undoubtedly make an en-
viable name for its successful bidder, the
commissioner noticed name that seemed
in some way familiar to him. After a
moment he recalled the incident of the
patched fence, which had really made a
much deeper impression on him than he
had allowed himself to admit at the time.
The estimate Of the young carpenter, who
was now a contractor, proved to be rea
sonable one, and the work was given into
hands
