METHODISTS REMEMBER
THAT COCKTAIL
DINNER
They Turned Down Fairbanks
as Delegate to Quddrlen-
nidl Conference.

Columbus. Ohio. Sept. 2S.-Vice
President Fairbanks was defeated
yesterday for election as a lay dele
gate from Indiana to the quadrien-
nial conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, to be held in Bal
timore next May.
Vice President Fairbanks was not
himself a candidate but his name
was urged by friends who assumed
that he would be elected by acclama-
ton Instead he was bitterly oppos-
ed by the radical temperance ele-
ment. who took the ground that his
election would be condoning the
serving Of cocktails and wines at the
dinner to President Roosevelt in the
Fairbanks home last Memorial day.
Fairbanks, prior to the meeting
yesterday, had told his friends not
to use his name as he did not de-
sire the honor and would prefer that
someone else secure the place, but 1t
was decided at a caucus that he
would be the proper man, hence his
name was proposed and voted down.

Mckeever, n. Y.-A hen with
neck like turkey and one leg an
inch shorter than the other attracted
attention here 4 few days ago and
caused as much merriment as a one

The fowl. which was said TO be two
years old. was the property of an or
gan grinder. who carried ii on top OF
his organ instead OF a monkey. He
had taught it TO 90 several tricks,
and it is safe to say that it collected
more pennies than the average simian.
When the organ grinder struck the
village the hen was perched on the
top of one shoulder emitting sounds
between a crow and a squeal This
naturally attracted attention and soon
a small crowd was assembled. AS
soon as enough had arrived the hen

There was quite number OF repre-

man living near twenty miles from
Manning said. the people in his section
are in favor of going forward. and the
representative who holds back in the
fear that it will cost him votes in the
next election, stands in his own light,
as there is nothing which will operate
against g public man more than cater

do their duty as they see it, and
not be waiting for public sentiment.
Public sentiment IS rather u curious
thing. A man expresses his individual
thoughts but he would give it as the
thoughts of the public-he is the pub
lie in his own estimation. therefore ii
will not do to take for granted that any
one man voices public sentiment. The
thing to do in matters of public mo-
