+ IS TURNED DOWN
Msthodists Refuse to Make Vice.
President a Delegate.
THAT COCKTAIL INCIDENT DID IT.
Members of the Church Resent His
Position of the Temperance Question,
as He Is Alleged to Have Had Liquor
on His Table The Vote for Him
Drops on Each Ballot Taken

Columbus, Ind. Especial -Charles
W. Fairbanks, vice president of the
United States, was defeated for dele
gate to the Quadrennial Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
which will be held in Baltimore next
May, after one of the most bitter
contests that was ever waged in
religious assembly. The temperance
laymen, many of them long associ-
ated with Mr.. Fairbanks in the
church, refused to condone what they
regard as an. offense against temper
ance and the distinguished candi-
date went down in defeat because of
having served cocktails and three
kinds of wine at the dinner given to
President Roosevelt on Memorial Day
at the Fairbanks home.
Up to the meeting of the laymen's
convention it was supposed that Mr..
Fairbanks would be sure winner.
His friends had been very busy with
delegates during the conference, and
as far as surface Indications showed,
there seemed to be general acquies-
cence in the desire to select him as
one of the quadrennial delegates.
There we're 10 candidates for the
seven places, and it was given out
that the Vice President would lead
the delegation by being selected by
reclamation.
Early, however, the scene began to
change. Temperance laymen asserted
that it would be shame to turn
down men of long and consistent
oh VIII irnd
to the honor, and give it to Fair
banks or anyone else over them by
reclamation; that it was but fair
that the ballot should be taken on
all candidates, and let each stand on
his own merits before the delegates.
In the meantime two questions had
been discussed among the delegates.
One objection was the serving of in
toxicants at the Fairbanks dinner,
and the other was the effort of some
of the Vice Presidents friends to put
the responsibility upon President
Roosevelt. Considerable feeling was
manifested over both incidents, and
when the laymen assembled the APP
parent certainty of Mr.. Fairbanks
election had changed to a question
of his getting through even by
slim margin.
The first fight came when the dele
gates refused by a decided vote to
permit the selection of Fairbanks by
reclamation. All the candidates were
then put in nomination. 1t required
81 votes to elect, and on the first
ballot two candidates were chosen.
Mr. Fairbanks received but 70 votes.
On the second ballot two other
candidates were chosen and the Fair
banks vote fell to 65. On the third
ballot he received but 45 votes, on
the fourth AZ votes and on the fifth
35 votes. The constant falling off
in the Vice Presidents vote discour-
aged his friends, and when the result
of the fifth ballot was announced his
name was withdrawn, friend MAX
ing the statement that the Vice
President had not been candidate
in any sense of the word, but his
friends thought it would be an honor
to him and the church to send him
as delegate to the Quadrennial Con-
farancp

TOURISTS IN COLLISION.
Homeward Bound Americans In A
Wreck.

Paris (By Cable)-The rear coach
of the second section of the special
train carrying $50 first-class passen-
gers from Paris to Cherbourg to en-
bark on the White Star Line steamer
Adriatic for New York, was telescop-
ed by the regular Rouen express at
the mouth of the Breval tunnel, just
beyond Nantes. Strangely no one
was killed, and according to the lat
est authentic information no one was
seriously injured.
All the passengers in the last coach,
however, were badly shaken up and
seven or eight were injured. A man
sustained a fractured leg, and a wom-
an, it is feared, suffered internal in
juries. All the injured American
passengers, with the exception OF Qne,
continued on their way to Cher
bourG.

Gently awarded by the Navy Depart

decided that as SO many naval YES

cities, it would be unfair to carry
out the original plan of naming No.

the cruiser of that name to the Sara

TheTalk Of All America.

What will prove a genuine dramatic
treat will be the presentation OF the
p nomenally successful play, THE Lie n
and the Mouse" at Chandler Music hall
Monday evening, Oc.. IA, by He: r. B.
Harris. This play had two years I'M
interrupted run at the Lyceum theater,
New York, and has made new records
in theatl ical annals by being the only
play to run through an entne summer
season in New York city without a
single break.

Mr.. Klein Las taken as his then the
poIiti and I oney interests Of the coun-
t-y, putting them against honesty and
50 | d. oblems. That a single man can
arass fortune of thousand millions
during his lifetime is argued in Mr..
Klein's play to be impossible if honestly

character, believes that no one has the
right or liberty to interfere in any way
with his colossal schemes and because q
Judge OF the supreme court renders de

Tampering with the honesty of a su

DEATH IN A NEW GUlSE.
Scheme That Landed a Hungarian
Judge In Town Jail.

In little village on the Hungarian
frontier, not far from Presburg, a
peasant woman recently received 400
kronen 1856 from her husband in
America.
She promptly deposited it in the
local branch of the postoffice savings
bank, and then the next day went to
withdraw the whole amount
The bank official was somewhat sur.
prised, and asked for an explanation,
when she said that Death had ap-
peared to her during the night and
threatened to take her away with him
unless she had the 400 crowns ready
for him the next night.
The gendarmes were communicated
with, and when Death" made his
promised appearance he was found to
be very much alive, in the person of
the local judge.
The womans money is still In the
bank, and the Judge Is In iail.-Pall

FIVE FALL INTO GRAVE,
Remarkable Incident That Disturbed
Solemnity of Funeral.

Instead of the accustomed quiet
which prevails at the burial of the
dead, great excitement and fear at.
tended the burial the other day of
Michael Serene, prominent merchant
OF Westport, when by the collapsing
OF grave the coffin and several per-
sons attending the services were
hurled into a small pit.
The final prayer had been said by
the preacher, and the assistant to the
undertaken stepped to the foot of the
coffin to arrange the rope for letting
the coffin into the grave. At that mo-
ment one of the palbearers acct
dentally kicked out the crosspiece
that supported the coffin. The coffin
quickly descended into the grave the
body going feet first. The assistant
FASTENED its descent by tumbling on
1t. Several persons rushed to the
edge of the grave, causing the soil to
yield, and in few seconds five per-
sons were lying in the pit half covered
with dirt.
They were pulled out, the coffin was
dug out and laid fiat, and after the
grave had been redug the burial was
completed.-N. Y. Press.

WHEN THE FISH HURDLE.
Man Wanted to Be Far Away From
the Danger Spot.

OF course at this season the usual
run of fish stories" are going the
rounds. But one relating to the
hurdling prowess of bass and trout,
which was told in all earnestness the
other night, takes first prize.
Fish always go up stream in the
springtime," said the fisherman, "and
scarcely anything will keep the bass
and trout from getting near the head
waters. | have known these two
species to jump over dam eight to
ten feet high and continue their up
stream journey"
What was that you said?" re-
marked friend, who also claims to
be somewhat of an angler. The man
repeated his assertion that he had
seen fish jump over dams eight to ten
feet high, and as there was no one
present to deny the burdling abilities
OF the fish, the only challenge to his
remarkable statement was laugh by
all hands.
We'll, trust will never be on the
top of Niagara falls when one Of those
hurdling fish you speak of comes fly
ing through the air and hits me in the
eye" remarked the friend. That
broke up the fish stories for that even
ing, but the man still insists that a
ten-foot dam can be hurdled by either
bass or trout.

Have Trouble
with Your Food !?
Try
Grape-Nuts
Perfectly Cooked,
Ready 10 Serve.
Delicious and Healthiul

"The ordinary. breakfast cereal
cooked few minutes in half-hearted
way will in time weaken the stomach
of anything short of an OK.
ANY preparation of wheat or oats
put into water that is below the boil
ing point and cooked as mush is usu
ally served, remains pasty, indi
gestible mass. The cells are tough
and unopened. In addition, the stom.
ach of person sensitively constituted
refuses to do anything with the pasty
mass. 1t is sent into the second stom-
ach, the Duodenum, where in conse-
quence of the long time of the first
process of digestion, is fermented and
soured. AS an eminent medical man
pertinently states, the stomachs of half
the people going about the streets are
about in the condition of an old vim
egar barrel.
Intestinal dyspepsia is the direct
consequence of such feeding"
knowledge of these facts and wide
experience in the preparation and use
of cereals brought out the product
known as Grape-Nuts, manufactured
with special reference to having the
heterogeneous and starchy parts of the
grains, of which the food is composed
perfectly and scientifically cooked at
the factory, ready for immediate use
and therefore not subject to the ma
nipulations of any cook, good or bad.
The starch of the grains, changed to
grape.sugar, can be seen glistening on
the little granules, and gives forth a
delicate sweetish taste, very palatable.
Children and adults obtain fine re-
suits from the use of Grape-Nuts food.
1t is SO perfectly adapted to the wants
of the human body and so easily d.
gested that many cases are on record
