DEMOCRATS HAVE NO
 CHANCE, SAYS SHAW
Says Bryan and Hearst Are All the Party Has Left in the
 Presidential Line.

Cincinati October 7.-Leslie M Shaw, secretary of the United States treasury, in reply to a question, said:
 'No we are in. no danger whatever of losing the national House of Represen- tatives The democrats have lost all hope of carrying it since MT. Bryan made his New York speech advocating the govern ment ownership of railroads. That has de- stroyed all their chance of success for years to come, and they will have to look about for new issues and new men.
 Bryan and Hearst are all the party has left in the presidential line, and more's the pity for I like to see strong men in the opposition. Senator Bailey and John Sharp Williams are the only conspicuous figures in the south and they are impos- sible I don't like to delve into man motives, but in answer to your question. I suppose MT. Bryan believes in govern ment ownership, and thinks 1t will win. He will never see it"

Judging from the description of the game played by the University of Ala bama yesterday against Maryville given by the several alumni of the former in stitution who visited Tuscaloosa on the occasion, the team of crimson jaeketed fellows will be one of the fastest in Dixie.
 According to the reports lnssuing from the institution, the new coach has ln- stalled the idea of speed into the recruits, and it is said that Alabama this season will be as fast and snappy as was Se- vance last. Jelks Cabaniss visited Bir- mingham yesterday and he felt confident that Alabama would defeat any aggrega- tion in the south this season, with the possible exception of Vanderbilt.

If the record of the number of arrests made by the police department in one cay is any criterion. then yesterday was one of the best days that the citizens of Ptrn1inghanis ever spent. From 12 o'clock Saturday night until 12 o'clock last night the police made but three arrests, which is the record for the smallest number ever incarcerated in the city jail in any con secutive twenty-four hours.

BAPTISTS SECURE NEW SITE
Church Building TO be Removed
and Parsonage Erected

The Baptist church, of Wild wood,
under the leadership of its enterprising
pastor, DIR. Riddle, has for some weeks
past been planning an important adj
n movement, II that will enable
it to hold, as ii has a always done, a fore
most place among the churches of the
island. AT present the church is stu
ated on Pine avenue, west of Pacific,
on a lot 50x100 feet, with consequently
no room for enlargement.
For two years past it has been felt
that the securing of a larger and more
conspicuous location vas essential TO
the best interests of the church. One
of the greatest needs of the church is IA
parsonage. A new site has therefore
been procured on the southwest corner
of Pacific and Maple avenues, includ-
ing The two lots now occG pied by the
residence of John Newcomb and the
two adjoining these on the west, COM
prising 80 feet on Pacific avenue by 120
feet on Maple II
The church building will be moved
at once onto the new location facing
Pacific avenue and before summer "a
fine parsonage will be erected fronting
on Maple avenue. The legal papers are
in preparation for the transfer of the
properties mentioned and work will he
begun on removing the buildings as
soon as the transfer is affected.
The trustees of the church are Messrs.
John Newcomb, Charles McWilliams,
Clarence Eldredge, Axel Johnson, B.
V. VanHorn and Bernard Tronnem.
The clerk is Evans G. Slaughter.
The pastor, Rev. James w. Riddle,
has been with the church since July
last, coming to Wildwood from Phila-
delphia where he was pastor for over
ten years. DR.. Riddle is "A graduate of
the University of Chicago and of the
Baptist Theological Seminary of Ro-
chester, N. Y. From the latter he re-
ceived the degree of b. ID. and from the
former the degree of M. A., Master of
Arts. After his graduation from these
institutions he spent several months
travelling in Europe. He has held i'm
portant p%astorates in Marietta, Ohio;
Boston, Mass; Pittsburg and Philadel-
phia and has been eminently successful,
being molly assisted 10y his cultured
wife, who is a member of an old and
distinguished Philadelphia family.
Mr.. Riddles preaching is decidedly
biblical and evangelical. He delights
in the old gospel and breaches it With
a ring which b~espeaks his own implicit
faith in its grand old doctrines.

Letter to Mayor Baker,
Wildwood, N. J.

Dear Sir: You are interested in the
prosperity of your town. Youcan con
Tribute to it materially, and give it a
far more prosperous look at the same
time.
Perhaps the public property needs a
good coat of paint.
Devoe will supply thatc coat with two
thirds of the numbero of gallons required
of any other. Devoe will last twice as
long as any other. Devoe is all paint
and full-measure. Devoe is The strong
est paint known. Devoe will take care
of the property, in the long run, for
half the money required by any other.
The Ieaso is stated above: Devoe is
all paint and full-measure the strongest
paint known.
f. ID. Jewell, Cory, Pa, painted his
house 5 years ago with a mixed paint
took IA gallons. Last spring he re-
painted with Devoe; bought IA gallons
and had 4 left. Saved SIS to 500, for
painting costs two or three times as
much as the paint.
Yours truly,

money back by the LIST of May, as l
shall be moving them
well, the LIST of May came around,
and | did not even receive Il letter from
her. That is the beauty of these lady
like borrowers. Any conversation on
the subject of the loan has to be start
ed by you first.
Il wrote her a note telling her l was
hard pressed and that | would have to
borrow an equal sum at interest if she
did not return my loan. After a weeks
delay she wrote very stifi1y to say that
she did not have the money, but would
give it to me when she could.

have not received the money yet, al
though l understand she has been cir

views.
"Ah, yes, but you are a man!' return
ed the business woman. "She is one of
those old fashioned women you are so
fond of admiring. She thought it was
more ladylike not to scrub floors and
to owe the money. And as for the date
set, what mattered that as long as she
did not have the money!"

county. The villainous deed was com.
mited about s o'clock, in the dark.
ness of the winter night. The sssail-
ants were two brothers.in-law, Paddy
Doran and Lewis Thomas, who were
accused lately Of running gambling
game in the saloon of the former, and
brought to justice by his honor, the
mayor. Mayor Austin, as was his Gus.
tom, had closed his barbershop for
the evening, and was walking up the
street in the direction of the Red
Lodge state bank. At this corner the
thugs aeeosted him, showed him off
into a side street, knocked him down
beat him numerically, kicked him in
the face, forehead and sides, stamping
and disfguring him and otherwise in
juring him seriously by crushing in
his ribs. Had il not been for the
fact hat some boys happened to make
their appearance on the street a bloody
crime would have undoubtedly been
committed as the murderous intention,
