BARRED FROM
SYCAMORE HILL.
President Roosevelt's O1d-Time Anti.
pathy for Them Crops Out
Again,

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. so.-That
President Roosevelt has not entirely
lost his antipathy for automobiles was
shown yesterday when there appeared
at the intersection of the main road and
the Sycamore Hill drive a brand new
sign, Private road, automobiles not
allowed"
Sightseers who have no appointment
with the President are allowed to drive
through the grounds and around the
house. providing they do not stop on
the way. Many of these come in auto
mobiles and the secret service men
have been kept busy explaining why
some automobiles are allowed in the
grounds while others r not.
The sign, which is written in letters
so large that he who runs a machine
may read, is expected to simplify mat
tiers. Between seventy-five and a hum
dred people make the tour of the
grounds each day. They are almost
without exception out-of-town visitors.

UPSETS Esprit" WILL.
Judge Holds That 'spooks'' Advice Was
an Insane Delusion.

TOMS RIVER, Aug. ~30.-Judge Berry
has handed down a decision setting
aside the will of b. F. Sinclair, in which
he left his property to the National
~Spiritualists' Association. The will
was contested by Sinclair's son. George,
who was cut off with $1,000.
1t was shown in the testimony that
Spirits" had told Sinclair his wife
would die before or shortly after him
self, and George would only survive
him a year, and 1t was with this idea
in view that he left his property to the
association. He was shown to have
been guided by three spirit" advisers,
a DR.. Woodruff, an Indian n a me-
gress, The court held these to be in
sane delusions and sufficient grounds
for refusing to probate the will.
There Is a suit in chancery pending
over a deed to lands given by Sinclair
to the same association In his lifetime.

with great rapidity.
The editorial and reportorial forces
of the Courier-Journal stuck to the
building in the hope that the blaze
would be subdued and that they could
issue a paper. They were caught with
flames at all exits and had to be taken
out on ladders.
The linotype machines and presses
are located in a re-enforced section of
the building and the damage to them
was comparatively light. The remain
ing contents Of the building are almost
a total loss. The damage on building
and contents is estimated at about

The sourA's PART.

There are only two questions be-
fore the democratic party in the
next campaign. One is tariff revi-
sion, the other swinging the country
back to constitutionalism These
propositions are thoroughly inter
laced, The cardinal doctrine of
democracy, when 1t comes down to
economics is free trade. The essen
tial of the party is stand on the con
stitution as formulated by the fathers
of the republic Much has been said
recently about nominating a southern
man on the democratic ticket fop
president That has nod ling to do
with the proposition thd is before
the south in the ensuing campaign.
What the south must do is to as
sumo the leadership, take charge OF
the party, assert the sovereignty of
democracy as she has held it all dur
ing her trials and tribulations Incl
dent to reconstruction days, and
stand for principles, not men.
