So everybody went some place else.
There was a baseball game then and the

stockings just as long. kindly lent for The oc-

good umpire. Spectators were fined freely
by Umpire Armstrong for cheering out OF
key. and when some players before they
stepped to the plate offered the umpire
passes that were good for any night ex-
cept Saturday the players were fined for
bribery.
The fines go to the building fund Of the
club. 10 does the purse donated by Realty

HUGHES BOON IN INDIANA.
Opponents Of Fairbanks Planning 10 Max
Governor states Second Choice.

Gov crnOr states second ChOlce.
INDIANAPOLIS. June 30.-Friends Of Vice
President Fairbanks are exercised over
what seems t0 be a movement throughout
the State in favor of Gov. Hughes of New
York for the Presidency. and, it is being
engineered with 40 much skill that it is
battling the Fairbanks managers.
IL is not claimed that a movement il in
progress to wrest the indiana delegation
from Fairbanks. but simply to create a
sentiment in favor of the New York Cow
ernor that shall manifest itself among the
people rather h NOM the politicians
and thus influence the delegates from
Indiana in reaching a second choice before
the balloting begins in the national oon-
v~ention.
Within the last ten days something like
deiniteness has been given TO the move
ment by direct overtures TO Congressman
James Watson TO become the candidate
of the party for Governor. 1t is known
that Mr.. Fairbanks. who is encountering
opposition both in the Eighth n Tenth
districts. has BEEN quietly at work through
his managers trying to make an arrange
ment by which the party candidate for
Governor can be selected from one Of these
districts and the ~anti-Cremer men can have
full win in the selection OF the Congress
sional candidate in the Eighth. By this
rrangeme il has been hoped TO secure
delegates for Fairbanks to the national
convention without a contest. hut the
friends OF Gov. Hughes are trying 10 offset
the Fairbanks quest for harmony by bring
ing Watson into the race for Governor.
IL is charged in some sections that the
Republican national committee. presum-
ably through Chairman Harry $. New. ia
at work in the interests of Hughes. IL il
well known that New has long ceased to he
identified with the Fairbanks element
and that Fairbanks opposed his selection
for chairman. News friends. however,
deny that he is taking any part in the con-
troversy. though they admit that tn
movement in favor OF Hughes is backed
by the conservative element OF the party,
who believe that the organization would
he equally handicapped by Fairbanks or
Taft as the candidate, while Gov. Hughes.

without being identified with either, would

IL the argument that il being mad in his
favor Throughout the State n Fairbanks

Rooms for Marriage and Divorce.
That there has been a leak in the evenues
possible to the lawyers Of the Essex Market
Bar Association, caused by the sending Of
clients to the workhouse and so placing them
beyond the reach Of their attorneys, hasbeen
realized by the members OF the association
for a long time. But there seemed to be no
way to put a plug in the leak until the Duke
Of Essex Street, centring his entire atten-
ton on the problem, cloeeted himself in the
back room Of his Office for hours and hours
Friday Inc Saturday.
just as the Essex Market court
across the way was adiourning Saturday
noon, the door opened wide and a cloud of
cigarette smoke and spent gray matter
drifted through the door into the front Of
flee. Picking his way through the dense
cloud which filed the Office like a fog, the
Duke staggered to the front door and, by
turns, waving his arms over his head and
clutching at his hair with insane fingers, he
shouted: Nv got i'll"

Duke. they cannot get away from us now.
But there are details yet to be considered. "
The Duke would say no more. though
his brothers in the profession crowded him

Yesterday he made public his scheme.

to a SUN reporter yesterday afternoon. Il

they can ply their comparatively easy

One OF them recently said to me that the

and was told that such an idea as a law

Duke. president Of the American Tobacco
Company. in anticipation Of his approaching
marriage to Mrs. William Inmsn Of Atlacta.

the residence on his 200 acre estate here
to double it's size.
The ~remodelling Of the famous bachelor
clubhouse 10 TO he carried out in compliance
with the wishes OF Mrs. Inman. who is an
occasional visitor to the Duke residence,
always accompanied by her mother and her
twelve-year-old son Walter. The work will
be carried on in the summer while Mr.. Duke
and his bride are on a wedding tour through
Europe.
The house when completed will be an i'm
posing structure costing many thousands
of dollars. and yet il will be only the tenn
porary abode Of the Dukes while far more
beautiful mansion is being built on the
estate. Mr.. Duke had planned to build a
Lillian McCreedy Duke, from whom he
recently was divorced. and its unfinished
foundation, in a beautiful Italian garden
surrounded by lakes and fountains, still
stands. IL is Improbable that ths mansion
will be erected on this site.
Mrs. Duke. IL is said, preferred city life and
cared little for Mr.. Dukes country place.
Mrs. Inman, like MIR. Duke. who is also a
~Southerner. loves outdoor life. She has
taken such a great interest In the landscape
work on the estate that improvements that
were practically at a standstill until her
recent arrival are now being resumed with
a force Of several hundred men.
While Mrs. Inman is only an occasional
visitor at the estate. her son now has the full
run Of the farm. Tn boy recently applied

Mary Mannering

The engagement of Mary
Mannering in her new play,
"Glorious Betsy will be made
at the Columbus Theater next
Friday.
In this new play Miss Manner
ing will be seen in a radically
different role from that of her
former creations. In this new
romantic comedy, written espec-
tally for her by Rida Johnson
Young, Miss Mannering will ap-
pear as Elizabeth Patterson, the
beautiful Baltimore girl popularity
known as Betsy" famed for
her beauty and wit. The events
OF the play concern the love af-
fairs which resulted In her mar
riage to Jerome Bonaparte, while
that young brother Of Napoleon
was on visit to this country in
1903. The scenes are laid in
America and France, and the
story deals with those days when
Betsy's career was at it's height
and when her name was the
toast of every fashionable gath
ering from Baltimore to New Or
leans.
The play is an ardent love sto-
ry; true picture of one OF the
most rom antic periods of Amer
lean history and an illustration
in the title role of the southern
beauty who made pages of inter-
national history. GLORIOUS
Betsy comes heralded as one
of the most entertaining of re-
cent comedies, beautifully staged
and costumed ana acted by a
company of unusual strength. :.
These facts coupled with Miss
MannerIng 3 great popularity IN
this city indicate that her COM
ing engagement will be marked
as the most successful of the
season. In Miss Mannering's
support are such well known
players as Messrs. Robert War
wick, Douglas J. Wood, Herbert
Carr, Wallace Shaw, E. j. De
Varney, II. s. Hadfield, Edgar
Baum, Harold de Becker, Regi-
maid Barlow, James A. Dickson,
William Bonelli, j. Edward

ward Earle. Misses Adore An

Will Evangelist
Gates Conner

An effort is being made TO
have Mr.. Gates come to West
Point to hold meeting. 1t is
said that he will come if there is
harmony and unanimity among
all the people as to his coming.
In other words there must be
great heart preparation and a
looking forward to great spiritual
blessings. 1t seems we'll nigh
impossible to do very much in an
individual church revival. The
gathering in of those outsiders
who are somewhat in touch with
the individual church is about
all that can be hoped for from
such efforts. When all the
churches can and will heartily
and earnestly unite in what is
known as a union meeting. great
results can be hoped for and ex-
pected. This being a fact, it
would seem that Christian peo-
pie would accept and act upon
it.
Too much sectarianism is in
imical to the progress of Christi
anity. There should be a COM
mon ground upon which all
Christians could stand together
and fight the powers of evil in
one solid, united body. Many
of. us are more anxious to add
names to our church rolls than
to save immortal souls.
Now, if it is possible to get
Mr.. Gates to hold a meeting here,
let us be of one mind and work
together harmoniously for
great revival. The Leeder is in
hearty sympathy with the move
ment and will give it every pos
sible encouragement.--W est
