(By e. c. Snyder,

Washington. d. c., Aug. 2S.-
Among the notable gatherings to be
held in Washington this fall, is that
of the twenty-sixth reunion of the Old
Time Telegraphers and Historical as
sociation, and the society of the United
States military telegraph corps These
bodies meet in this city Oct. 9, 10, and
II, and the reunion will undoubtedly
attract many hundreds Of representa-
tive telegraphers from all parts of the
country.
1t Is peculiarly appropriate that the
coming meeting shall be held in Wash
ington, the home of the wonderful art
which has done so much to civilize
the world and bring nations within
closer touch. This city was the scene
of the operation of the first practical
telegraph line ever built and operated,
and where Prof. Morse planned, work
ed and experimental, until at last the
wonderful achievement was recorded
In the simple message, See what God
hath wrought"
The headquarters of the two associ-
ations will be at the Arlington hotel,
and this hostelry will be the scene of
more reunions than are contemplated
in the program, when those who have
worked over miles of wire come to-
gether face to face, many old time
wire friends meeting for the first time
in person, though familiar and we'll ac-
quainted with each other while separ-
ated by immense distances.

New Haven. Aug. 2S.-Prof. Will
liam H. Brewer. for years one of the
most prominent professors of the Shef-
field Scientific school. astonished his
Yale friends and the horse doctors
who have been attending the national
convention of veterinary surgeons in
this city by coming out at the banquet
of the doctors in favor of horse flesh

is less chance of disease in the use of
horse meat than from that of any
other animal. Fatten the old horse
as you do the old COW and then eat
him. 1t will bring comfort to the
horse in his old age and will greatly

BOSS ADD|CKS' FIGHT
Politics in the Blue Hen State
Far From Condition of
Harmony.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 2S.-Over in
Delaware the political pot is boiling
again today. J. Edward Addicks, gas
man and senatorial aspirant, is MAX
ing the fight of his life to prove that
he is ineligible to membership in the
Down and Out Club" where the
voters of the Blue Hen State evidently
believe he belongs.
The remnant OF Addicks' followers
are holding a state convention today,
the announced purpose being to nonl-
mate a ticket headed by Addicks for
congress. Defeated in his senatorial
hopes, the union republican leader is
planning to go to Washington as a
representative in the lower branch of
congress. In holding separate con-
vention Addicks is going against the
advice of many of his political friends.
who are of the opinion that he might
have gained more by joining with the
regular republicans in the so-called
harmony convention which the latter
have called for next week.

Columbia, s. c.. Aug. 2S-.Shall
the South Carolina Dispensary remain
a state institution or be abolished root
and branch? is the dominating issue
in the state campaign which culmin-
ates in today's primary election. The
campaign has been one of the liveliest
this state has seen in recent years.
Added spice has been given to the
fight by Senator Tillman's activity in
behalf of the dispensary and against
certain newspapers. Eight candidates
for governor, representing every phase
of the liquor question, have been max
ing county to county canvass, fol-
lowing the itinerary fixed by the state
executive committee, which Tillman
declined to join because, he said, he
would not speak If his time was lin
tied. He therefore mapped out tour
for himself, and has been speaking
every weekday for six weeks. He has
been bitter in his attacks on the State
of this city and its editor, w. E. Con-
zales. The newspaper has for sew
eral years conducted a campaign for
compulsory education, and last winter
the cause had SO many friends that
compulsory education bill failed of
pas &c in the legislature by only
thret fptes.
,ssIfsre are eight candidates for gov
sc,nor: Senator Richard l. Manning
Of Sumter, Col. John r. Sloan and
John ]. Mcmahon of Columbia, Joel E.
Brunson Of Sumter, Martin F. Ansel of
Greenville. w. A. Edwards of Saluda
county, and Senator Cole L. Blease
of Newberry. There are several can
didates for nearly every other place
on the state ticket to be filled. Con-
gresham Legare, Ellerbee and Lever
have no opposition to reelection.
Messrs. johnson. Finley, Patterson and
Aiken have opposition.

Toronto. o., Aug. 2S.-An interest
ing paper by DR.. Charles H. Williams.
Jr., of Boston, on Visual Tests for
Public Services" was read at the meet
ing of the British Medical association.
He emphasized the necessity of care
full examination of the vision and color
sense of men employed on the different
railroads. He advocated the same
tests being applied before licensing
drivers of automobiles to run their en-
gines on the highway where speeds
are often made equalling that of an
ordinary passenger railway train. He
also said that the light of the fire on
the eyes of firemen was not injuri-
GUS.
Professor Smith of London, in his
lecture, discarded the theory of feed
ing cold and starving fever" A
typhoid fever patient, he said, should
be fed as often as he desired and in
satisfying quantities.

account of religious prejudice. There
Is no better meat nor any more fit
to eat. In all the countries on the
European continent. horse flesh is
used as food. Horses are fattened for
market like other animals and the
meat is wholesome and good.
"In Paris and other large cities
there are restaurants which sell only
horse flesh. but the law compels all
meat from the horse to be SO ad-
vertised when sold. under penalty of
heavy fines.
Il have eaten horse in several of
these restaurants and l have never
had more wholesome or finer tasting
meat. Popular sentiment against
horse flesh as food is no reason for not
using it. and under proper surveil-
lance the custom could be introduced
in this country. 1t would not take
long to bring the public around"

NE ENGLISH DO nor
LIKE NEW SPELLING

If American publishers wish to in
wade the British market they should
be conservative in their photography
The Chronicle, which has more SYM
pathy with some OF the changes, says:
Whether we like the new spelling
or not it probably will be forced upon
US because the United States Is COM
ing more and more into control of the
printing presses of the English
speaking world. As he Is strong he
might have been merciful and sum-
moned an Anglo-American congress to

Concert Of Powers to Suppress
Anarchy and Anarchists is
Proposed in Russia-Dicta-
torship Being Considered.
sToLYPIN's STAND
AGAINST REPRESSION
On Such q Scale as to Drive Entire
Population Into
Revolt.

Annotated Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
st. Petersburg. Aug. 2S-Tha court
at Peterhof apparently is divided as
to how to meet the campaign of the
terrorsts. Premier Stolypin and his
cabinet, however, have taken stand
against repression upon scale which
would drive the whole population into
revolt. The premier's views are re-
flected by the Rossia today, which de-
clares the government must not be
frightened into abandoning the re-
form program. 1t is only necessary,
that paper asserts, to draw the line
between loyal opposition and those
who by word and act seek the destruc-
ton of the government The Novoe
Vremya proposes las an exit from hor-
rors of the worst kind CT civil war;" to
confer upon the cabinet authority to
prepare constitution which will
realize the hopes of the sane liberals"
The Svet continues to advocate a
concert of powers to suppress anarchy
and anarchists. Against these COM
paratively moderate propositions, the
reactionary party at court is urging
a dictatorship and the Strana pub
fishes report that upon the initiative
of the council for national defense an
extraordinary conference, somewhat
similar to that which created the COM
mittee of public security after the as
sassination of Alexander H., has been
called to meet at Peterhof during the
latter part of the week.
The funerals of the victims of the
bomb explosion of Saturday last at
the residence of Premier Stolypin,
were held today under military escort.
