Secretary Taft. The diplomatic representa-
tfveS of European countries at Washington
have also been well coached by the commits !
sioners from their several governments and
will enter formal circumstances in case
Senator Carter and his associates attempt
to secure legislative approval OF their posi-
ton. Some people have accused Senator
Carter and the other commissioners of self
ish motives but the exposition officials here
do not credit any such theory. They are Of
the opinion that the national commissioners
are convinced that they have the right to
review the awards and consider 1t their
duty to assert that right. President Car
ters name was originally engraved on the
diplomas, but has been erased. The fact
that he does not sign them will not diminish
their value, because they represent the
judgment Of an International jury composed
Of men who are supposed to be well quail
fed to pass an opinion upon the merits of
the exhibits in their class
This question has been taken to the courts
by the Borden Condensed Milk Company
Of Elgin, ILL.,, which Is not satisfied with
it's award; but 1t will be long time before
the case Is decided.
There has been less than the usual
amount of kicking, but no serious cases
have been presented and there are no scam
dals.
More Expositions Planned.
The success of the ST. Louis exposition
appears to have caused a large crop of
similar enterprises to spring up, and Secre-
tary Stevens has received visitors or in

ade. All of these inquirers seek full IN
formation concerning the organization,
management and other features of the ad-
mjnistration. Financial statements and eX-
pense accounts are also asked for. One
committee comes from Australia and an
other from Japan, while three eXpositionS
ale contemplated in the Unite1 States. The
first will be held in the Bronx borough os
New York, to commemorate the three hum
breath anniversary of the landing of Helm
riCn Hudson in New York narbor in 1909;
the next will be held at San Francisco 20
commemorate the four hundredtn anniver-

In view of the serious condition
of the Presiding Elder Of this dis
trict, whose duty it is to appoint a
successor TO Rev. DR.. Eveland. it is
probable that the charge will not

asked by the official board Of the
church to come, but no definite
action has been taken for the rea-
son above stated. DR.. Eveland
preached what was practically hi
farewell sermon on Sunday at which
time large congregation was pres.
ent. He is arranging, however, to
be here on Sunday Sept. 3, to aG-
minister the holy communion and
preach in the evening.
At meeting of the official board
of the church, last evening, ar
rangements were made with DR..
Eveland whereby he will continue
as pastor of the church during the
month of September.

day afternoon team belonging to
liveryman Frand Fry of tha. town,
hitched to a carriage containing the
pallbearers, became unmanageable
and ran away. When at "a point on

his utter inability to check the wild
behavior of the horses turned them
into the old cemetery just across
the street from the Grove Presby
terian church and jumped for his
life, as did the other occupants of
the carriage. In alighting, Guy
Mowery struck sharp slope and
broke both bones of his right leg.

cademy from this congressional dis
