FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, Ind. July
5.-Thomas Taggart, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, today
gave out the following statement,
made in reply to the demand made by

that is all there is to the grossly SEN

The French Lick Hotel has not and
will not tolerate gambling in any form

An Expensive Joke.

A New York business man, who, with
his wife, returned the other day from
a months holiday in Germany. told the
following story, which should convey
a salutary lesson to other husbands:
"On the eve of our departure for
Germany my wife announced that she
intended to take pearl necklace to
present to a sister on the other side,
and that instead of packing 1t in her
trunk she would carry 1t about with
her in her handbag, for as she limo
Gently explained, II I put it in my bag

customs officers, but they would never

warned my wife that she must do
nothing of the kind, as she would in
evitably be found out.
well, she finally agreed to obey my
decision, but when we landed on the
pier at Bremen I determined to give
her lesson and prove myself in the
right. Going up to a costom officer
said to him in low tone: Officer,
have good reason to believe that that
woman standing over there ia conceal
ing something In her handbag on which
she ought to pay duty; advise you to
search It, The man did 80. and I'll
be hanged If he didn't produce the
necklace. My wife had taken 1t with
her after all. had to pay heavily,
and all the women on the pier said

right. the very essence of which is
equality.

rangements in question are ordinarily
made and carried out in good faith.

engagements must as Il practical mat

Washington. Oct. 29.-Under rul-
ing OF the Interstate Commerce COM
mission. transportation over railroad
lines no longer may be given to news
papers or editors in exchange for ad-
vertisins space in their newspapers.
\ protest agains this ruling has
been received by the commits
sion from the Massachusetts Press
association through VIM. J. Hefferman,
the secretary of the association. In
Mr.. Hefferman's communication he
says that the association unanimously
voted to enter this protest against the
reported ruling in holding that the
payment for railroad transportation at
full rates in advertising shall be
treated on any other basis than that
OF transportation paid for in cash."
In a letter to Secretary Hefferman,
in response to the protest, Chairman
Knapp. OF the commission. says in part,
after quoting the section of the law
which prohibits the issuance of free
transportation or transportation paid
for in any other way than in cash:
You are of course. aware that all
tariffs filed in compliance with the
regulating statute name rates in dol
lars and cents and do not in any case
provide that transportation can be
paid for with property. 1t seems plain
to the commission that the law above
quoted. coupled with the fact stated,
permits payment for services of in

was caused by his presentation to the

Anna Gould married Count Boniface
the young Frenchman a marriage por-
ton of $3,OOO,00O. They went to Paris,
and at once the Gould millions began
to be showered about the city like
handfuls of confetti in carnival time.
Count Boni built himself a house, an
exact reproduction of the little Trianon
100000. His extravaganza was such
that Anna Could, with an income of
100000 year, found herself heavily
in debt.
AS years went by creditors became
more and more pressing. In five years
Boni had spent 100000 and owed
$4,700.00O. George and Edwin Gould,
to save their sisters pride, furnished
100000 to pay the counts most
pressing debts, and in 1901 the courts,
acting for the creditors, reduced An
mas available income to $250,00O q
year, the balance going to paw $4,700,-
900, which the Gould family had ad-
vanced to settle Boni's difficulties.
Then. in 1905, came the smash-up.
Boni had set up bachelor quarters for
himself and Countess Anna who had
borne his extravagauces and infideli-
ties long enough, took her children and
applied to the French courts for
divorce. The proceedings are still

McCumber. when interviewed on the
political situation.
THE opposition which was raised
to Sarles and Knauf in some quarters
in the early part of the campaign Is
fast disappearing and will be very
slight.
Some opposition was created
against the head Of the ticket and
the candidate for the supreme court;
but as people have learned Of the
economic administration Of Governor
Sarlcs and the reforms which he has
instituted In every department Of the
state government. they have come to
believe that he has justly earned their
endorsement.
THE charges against Knauf were
SO general that people are inquiring
to find out what there is in them"
Senator McCumber said that this
had led people to investigate, and
as result they have found that Judge
knauf not only possessed the legal
ability but the fitness as man for the
office for which he is running.

there was hot contest and con-
siderable friction during the primar-
