&c that Hu,,,I,Iatl, uI, e..

among the many pathetic Incidents
OF the Russo-Japaness war Ia one
which recalls the parable of the Phar-
isse and the publican.
Two japanese spies, Colonel Jokoka
and Captain Jokki, were captured In
the act Of blowing up a bridge on the
Aanchurian railway. Jokki was a
Buddhist, Jokoka a Christian, They
pleaded guilty, stood their trial with
entire calmness, and received their
death sentence hanging-with COM
piete Indifference. When q telegram
was received from General Kuropat-
Kin, sparsng them the humiliation Of
being hanged and ordering that they
Do shot, the Buddhist accepted the
change in disdainful silence. The
Christian replied, ut Is well, am
ready" asked permission to write to
his family, and turning, embraced the
captain.
Then said the Buddhist, II die more
tranquil than you, colonel"
How soT" asked the Christian.
Il have performed my duty toward
my country and toward my God. You,
only toward your country. / have
thought a good deal about what you
have told me Of ChriBtan1ty-you are
always boasting of its superiority.
Well, I consider that you are not in &C.
cord with Christ, whereas l have moth
ing with which to reproach myself"
Perhaps you are right" replied the
Christian, thoughtfully. However, 1t
Ii now permitted me to do the nrgt
truly Christian act Of my life. shall
give the money have with me, about
thousand rubleS, to the Russian Red
Cross, to be used for our wounded enc
mics"
The Russian commandant, deeply
touched, agreed to accept the money;
and asked If the prisoners had any
final requests to make before their
execution.
The Buddhist asked to have q bath,
and buckets Of water were brought.
The Christian asked to see a chap
lain, and as there was no Protestant
minister In camp the Russian regimen
tai pope came to the prisoner.
Il should like to hear the Sermon
on the Mount said the condemned
man; and he followed the text in his
Japanese Bible while the priest read
aloud in Russian. When they reached
the words. For If ye love them which
love you, what reward have ye? "
And If ye salute your brethren only,
what do ye more than othersT the
prisoner closed his book, and for a
few moments prayed silently, with
eyes shut and lips moving. Then he
turned to ais Buddhist comrado and
said, gently:
"Jokki, you are right. You die with
more peaceful conscience than l, FOR
never have / felt more keenly how
much my life has been in disaccord
with the teaching Of Jesus"
Again, as in the old parable, we
seem to see the publican, who stood
afar OF and would not lift up 90 much
as his eyes to heaven, but Smote upon
his breast, saying, "God, be merclful
to me a sinner" And we remember
that Christ said of him, "This man
went down to his house justified rather
than the hor."-Youth's Companion.

Al Doable Header.

The home team played double
header here last Saturday afternoon
with the high school team OF Canton
and the Akron ball team. Only q fair
sized crowd attended and the game
with Akron was the best OF the season.
The first game was with Canton and
was won by the score Of IL to 1 by the
home team. The Canton team is a
strictly high school team and of course
Ii d little weak in some places. They
are d fine lot OF boys and our team
will give them return game In the
near future IL possible.
The game was called at 2 o'clock
and only seven innings were played
so as to allow Akron to catch the
evening train.
The features OF the game we're the
pitching Of Steckman and the batting
and base running of the Elk Point
team. The visitors got their only
run In the last inning on two errors.
Elk Point made two errors and Can
ton three. The batteries were: Elk
Point, Ryan, Steckman and Brown
ing; Canton, Tatlie and Ringheim.
Umpire, Burnett.
The score:
Elk Point. ..........0 1910 4x-12
Canton. &. .............0 @ 0 O 0 O I'll
The second game was good game
and quite interesting as it locked as
though the home team would be beat
en- but iii the ninth inning we got
four scores and won the game by
score Of to 9.
The Akron team was not so very
fast but their hired batter, Thompson
OF Hornick and Franklin Of the Sioux
City stock yards team, were very good.
Thompson, the left handed pitcher
who twirled for Akron, was the best
pitcher who has been against our
team this season. He has all kinds
OF slants, very good speed and good
head. The home team has three good
hitters who bat left handed and it
was some time before they could land
on the south pair, He was q little
wild as he gave seven men bases on
balls.
The home team played very good
game but made number of costly
errors. Their batting was coed altho
they had men on third number Of
times but could not bring them 10
with bit. The whole team run
bases ID very creditable manner.
The features Of the game were the
home base steal OF Irving and the
pitching 81 Ryan who struck out six
teen men.

Not Enough to Count.

 Mark Twain was once the best pilot on the Mississippi, and he never tires of river stories and steamboat yarns. at dinner on the Prinz Oscar, from Genoa to New | iork, he said one night. apropos of fog: The worst boat on the Mississippi the only bad boat on the Mississippi in my time-was the Stephen J. Hill. This boats untidiness was only equaled by her slowness Only strangers, only the tenderfoot used her.
 "A cousin of mine took the stephen J. Hill to come to see me at Hannibal. Tn the afternoon a thick fog drifted down. and the stephen J. Hill had to heave to for the night. As she lay there. swathed in gray, my cousin said to the captain
 "Tt's too bad we're going to be late, captain

Ahern Makes Speech.

New York. October 19--The denocrati3 nominations on city, county ana poroosu tickets were ratified at meeting Tn lah- many hall tonight, when speeches were made by Mayor George E. MeCIellal' who is standing for reelection ahu o'h- CTS An incident of the meeting was statement by John G. Ahern. candidate for reelection of the borough of Man haitian. in explanation of the charges made earlier in the day by Charles Y. Nllrnhy leader of Tammany Hall, that District Attorney William Travers Jerome
 had sought him in regard to the securing of the democratic nomination for district attorney. He announced that II MT Je- rome denied this assertion he (Murphy) would prove 1t from the platform in ram many Hall tonight Mir. Jerome promptly denied MT Murphys assertions. While Nr. Ahern was speaking the name of Dis trict Attorney Jerome was alternately hlssed and cheered. MT. Ahern said
 Says Jerome Accepted.
 q. being friend of MT. Jerome, asked him if he would accept the nomination for District Attorney from Tammany Hall. He said that he would under cer- tain conditions, and these conditions were that George B. Mcclellan should be the candidate for mayor. He then stated that he had done an injustice to Mayor Me- Clellan on the stump during the McCiei- Ian canvass two years ago, and that the first opportunity he had in public where he could do SO he would retract the same. He said he would do this. Some time after MT. Jerome did at public meeting in Philadelphia explain his position In re- gard to MT Mcclellan.
 "rhree weeks ago I received telephone message at my office that MT. Jerome would like me to lunch with him. which I did. Then, after talking over the politi- cal situation. he got down to his own can ddacy on the Tammany ticket. sug- gested that he go to see MT Murphy, which he agreed to. at the same time saving he would meet him at any hour of the day or night I saw Mir. Murphy | myself and told him of my interview with Mr Jerome. MT Murphy refused to see Mir. Jerome on the ground that he | had nothing to say to him. He said fur i thermore, that if the convention nomi- mated him (Jerome) he had no favors to ask of him except only that he would i conduct his office satisfactorily to the i public at large"
 Walter s. Logan, who presided at to- nights meeting, referred to Mir. Jerome's \ candidacy and declared that among the district attorneys supporters was every prominent officer Of the big life insurance

TnE AeE-uERALD. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20. 19os.

ly hope that we shall see a law giving this power passed by Congress. More over, I hope that by law power will De conferred upon representatives or the government capable of performing the duty of public accountants carefully to examine into the books of railroads, when so ordered by the interstate commerce commission, which should itself have power to prescribe what books, and what books only, should be kept by railroads
 .'1f there is in the minds of the com mission any suspicion that certain rail- road is in any shape or way giving re- bates or behaving improperly, l wlsh the commission to have power as a matter of right, not as a matter of favor, to make a full and exhaustive investigation of the receipts and expenditures of the railroad so that any violation or evasion of the law may be detected This Is not a revolutionary proposal on my. part, for I only wish the same power given Tn re1- erence to railroads that=is now exercised as a matter of course by the natlonal bank examiners as regards national banks. My object in giving these addi- tional powers to the administrative body representing the governmentNthe inter- state commerce commission, or whatever it may be-is primarily to secure real and not a sham control of the govern ment representatives. The American peo- pie abhor a sham, and with this abhor- renee I cordially sympathize. Nothing Is more injurious from every standpoint than law which is merely sound and fury, merely pretense, and not capable of working out tangible results. l hope to see all the power that I think it ought to have granted to the government but I would far rather see only some of 1t granted, but really granted. than see pretense of granting all, in some shape that-really amounts to nothing.
 '1t must be understood, as matter of course, that if this power is granted 1t is to be exercised with wisdom and caution and self-restraint. The interstate commerce commission or other govern ment official who failed to protect a rail- road that was in the right against any clamor, no matter how violent, on the part of the public, would be guilty of as gross a wrong as if he corruptly rem dered an improper service to the railroad at the expense of the public. When say square deal I mean square deal; exactly as much a square deal for the rich man as for the poor man, but no more. Let each stand on his merits, re- ceve what is due him, and be judged &C., cordng to his deserts. To more he Is not entitled, and less he shall not have.'

BRANDS WORDS AS FALSE
Jerome Praises Croker Because He Was at Least True to His Friends and Did What He Said
 He Would Do.

New York, October 19-Charles F. Murphy in denying some of the allega- tions which District Attorney William T. Jerome made last night in a speech at Carnegie hall, said today:
 MT Jerome said that he never sought endorsement by either party. That IS false. Jerome sent confidential man to see me on two Or three occasions on his own behalf. He said that he was anxious to meet me, and to have distinct un- derstandlng with me. He even agreed 10 join the Tammany Hall general con- mittee If Jerome denies this before the meeting here tonight, we will prove the truth of It from the platform"
 In reply to these statements, MT. Jerome said today:
 'I deny it. Let him prove it. But l Will not say he did not send a messenger to me-

Jerome Still Vigorous.

New York October 19-William Traverse Jerome tonight continued the vigorous in dependent campaign he is making for re- election to the office of district attorney. Mr. Jerome spoke first to great crowd gathered in Murray Hill Lyceum and later addressed an enthusiastic audience which tested the capacity of the Grand Centfa Palace on the East Side. Mir. Jerome principal address was at the Lyeeum, where he dismissed with brief statement "it is not true" the charge made today by Charles r. Murphy leader of Tam many Hail, that MT. Jerome had sought him in connection with the democratic nomination. The district attorney then attacked fiercely the present democratic administration and the nominees. He was most bitter against Mir. Murphy and com- pared him dlsparagingly to Rlcharo Croker, "a real man. a man with Jaw a man that stood up and never lied to friend; a man who stood good and true when he gave you his word and told you he would, or he would not, and then old as he said.
