COMPROMISE
Is Believed to Have Been
Made at Louisville on
Sunday Baseball-Per-
sonaI News.

Louisville, O., July 30.-Contrary to
general expectation, the baseball
game of yesterday between the Louis
vile nine and the Nebraska Indians
precipitated no trouble between the
religious element OF the town and the

that a compromise was effected be-
tween the two factions. The terms OF
this compromise were that the play,
ers were to be allowed to play the
Nebraska Indians, but after that
game they were to play no more
Sunday ball.

DIVORCE
Question Again Taken Up by the Am
erican Federation Of Catholic
Societies at Buffalo.

Buffalo, N. Y, july 30-The subject
of divorce was taken up in the exec
utive session today by the committees
on resolution appointed by the Amer
ican Federation of Catholic societies,
and will be reported on tomorrow
when it is likely there will be a severe
discussion.
The federation last year went on
record for reform of the divorce laws
by adopting this declaration:
I'VE rejoice at the public recogni-
ton which the Catholic principle re-
garding marriage and divorce has re-
ceived in the protests of non-Catho, ic
denominations against the present di.
vorce legislation in the United States
and it's wide Interpretation by the
courts. AS Catholics, we claim that
Christian marriage, being a divine
sacrament, falls exclusively under the
jurisdiction of the church and that
civil authority has no right to legis-
late regarding the bond of marriage.
although it may regulate civil affairs,
especially the property rights of the
married parties"
Divorce" will be discussed by JUS
tice Daniel j. Keneck, at the mass
meeting in convention hall tomorrow
evening.
Reports of committees were in or
der today. After the delegates had
attended solemn pontifical mass of
requiem at ST. Michaels church
where Bishop Cotton was the officiat-
ing clergyman, the convention ad-
journed until tomorrow.

HE WANTED TO DIE.
i}ut the Poison From Long Usage
Rendered Him Immune.

There was a man in Atlanta who
once suspected negro in his employ
of tampering with the contents of his
wine cellar, especially with a certain
brand of fine whisky. The employer
decided to adopt measures to verify
his suspicious. He allowed the demi
John holding his private stock" to
become empty; then, instead of re-
filing it, he placed his pet brand in
bottles, labelling each one poison"
One evening on returning home
Unexpectedly, he caught his servant
In "'fiagrante delicto." Selling the
bottle from the darky's hand, the
Atlanta man exclaimed in tone OF
terror, Great heavens, Sam! do you
know what you have been doing?
This bottle is marked 'poisos,.'
"Tain't pizen. sah," he said, de
jectedly. Use been fooled ag'in."

LOVE LETTERS
Again Figure Prominent
Iy in the Hartje Case.
Precious MissivesWere
Stolen From Coach
mans Trunk, Says
Hartje.

Pittsburg, July 30.-Andrew s.
Fischer, brother-in-law of Augustus
Hartje, was the only witness of i'm
portance on the stand during the aft
ernoon session.
1t was through Fischer's efforts that
the alleged Nadine love letters were
recovered in the latter's trunk and
Fischer under examination detailed
how the letters had been secured.
He insisted under cross-examination
that although the attorneys for Hart.
je had been shown the letters and
had pleaded with him to tell them
where he had gotten them, he had re-
fused to inform them unEll after the
divorce trial had started.
Fischer testified that by order ot
Augustus Hartje he had engaged a
private detective agency to recover
the letters, which he said, he only
surmised existed. He said he did this
despite the fact that Hartje already
had private detectives at work secur'
ing evidence. When the letters were
recovered by Detective Staubb
Fischer stated he divided them into
four packages SO that if one batch Of
letters were lost, the others would
still be safe. He said he took one of
the packages and slept with it, and
a loaded revolver as he thought il
might be stolen.
The letters were given into the
charge of Hartje's attorneys a shoI
time before the trial commenced
Fischer testified, but the attorneys
did not know that they had been
stolen from Madness trunk until later
The cross examination of Detective
Anderson, who admitted he aided De
tective Staubb in stealing the letters
and a brief examination of Frank
Muncey, who conducts the detective
agency who made the search for the
letters took up the time until ad
journment.

3 HOME AND SCHOOL, DEPARTMENT.
All department addressed H. and Debt

In this weeks issue we come be-
tween the two great national holidays
Feb. IL, Abraham Lincoln's day, and
ten days later, Feb. %, George Wash
ington day-and it seems fitting that
we should review these great lives,
briefly for the benefit of our boys.
What made these men of such worth
that we have set aside day each year
in their honor?
Both were noted for their honesty,
even when boys. George Washington,
it is said, when his father asked him
who cut down his fayorite cherry tree,
replied: Father, cannot tell lie, 1
did it with my little Ratchet" 1t is
quite evident from the words little
George used that he was sorely tempt
ed to Hastily, for he had reason to sus-
pect that If he told the truth good
fogging was sure to, follow, for in
those days it was generally considered
that to spare the rod was to spoil the
child. 1t is just such trying times as
these that boys are encouraged to tell
falsehoods for the purpose of shielding
their backs.
1t was at this particular period of
little Georges life that the turning
point came. Had he told lie to
shield his back, no doubt, he would
have told others until 1t became easier
to falsify than to- tell the truth.
A boy asked me the other day if 1
knew when George Washington took
his first historic ride. His answer
was: when he took hack at his
fathers cherry tree" There has been
much said about this cherry tree"
episode, some contending that such an
incident never happened, yet 1t serves
the purpose of showing that this par
ticular boy was above bribery for he
would bare his back before he would
tell an untruth.
/ Abraham Lincoln gained the sobri-
quet-" Honest Abe" and no one has
ever tried to prove that he was not
entitled to 1t. He said, you can fool
all the people some of the time and
some of the people. all of the time, but
you can't fool all of the people all of
the time. From this wise remark we
infer that he was much opposed to de-
ception.
Lying and deceiving usually hide
under the same skin as they come
from very close chums, hence we may
conclude that If persons will deceive
they will tell a lie and if they will lie
they will deceive. Boys, if you want
to become great men you must start
right as boys. Tell the truth, NO mat
ter how much you have to suffer for
it. Self-protection is the first law of
nature; yet you must look upon the
right side of this question and protect
your character before you do your
body when it is a question between
which you shall protect.

Fathers, Visit Your School.

After you have comfortably housed
and fed your Shires, Ayrshires, Shrop-
shires and Berkshires, would it not ne
a good idea for you sires to visit your
little country school and take look
at your olive branches and see how
they appear in school room? l will
venture to assert that not five fathers
in South Dakota have visited their
school this winter or did last winter
unless forced there on business. You
would never think of turning your
live stock over to your hired man on
the wholesale plan that you turn your
children over to the teacher, not if he
held dozen certificates on his ability
as a stock raiser. Go some pleasant
day in January when the mercury is
ranging among the twenties below and
one of our gentle Dakota breezes is
out on a lark. You will then be able
to Judge of the temperature of the
house. Look at the surroundings and
see if they are all that they should be.
Your schoolhouse is an index of the
neighborhood and he who has passed
by may read the character of it's in
habitants. A good teacher wants you
to visit her and give your opinion Of
her work. A poor one should be visit
ed and an effort made to show her
her duty. 1t is great encouragement
and help to a teacher to see the
fathers interested in their children
and her work. Don't leave this visit
ing to us mothers. All we can do,
you know, is to talk and it takes so
much of it before we can make it i'm
pressive enough for you men to act

need be no more out of date maps in
the school.

The teacher who cannot afford to
take several good educational papers
is not earning his salary as a rule.
A safe guide for school directors, In
selecting teacher, is to find out how
many and what educational papers
they read. II they are not enough in

The State Supt of Public Instruc-

Winter Home School.

Winter days are splendid oppor-
tunity for home school, and wish all
parents would embrace it. Where pub
lie schools are closed for the season
and sometimes for longer period, cir
cumstances require home school and
incline to it. Get UP, say, at S a. M;
start the fire; welcome a good supply
of fresh air, and call up the children.
In no time everything will be in readi-
ness for good work. Teach all you
can in reading, spelling, writing, arith-
metic. drawing, geography, music, his
tory and any other subject. You may
have to go to bed earlier; and, at first,
1t may cost special effort, but the re-
suits will be gratifying. In the morn
ing the mind is so open and impress
sionable, so clear and receptive. Chill
dren will learn and retain all you
teach. Their progress will be SO great
and rapid that there will be content
ment all around, and the chores Of the
farm will be undertaken and accom-
plished as a sort Of recreation. It
will bring all the members of the fam
lily into closer sympathy and affection.
Begin now, and let US hear from you.
