present and were, of course, called upon
to speak.
Dingley spoke first, and said in con-

speech, meaning Reed, who got back at
Dingley as follows:
"Mr. Toastmaster, am sorry to be-
gin with an apology. Some time ago

Unity, in Waldo County and there
heard Governor Dingley refer touching

ward learned that the Governor was
also born in Durham, in the county OF
Androscoggin, and | know that nothing

honor to have shared in the birthplace
Of Governor Dingley." - Pittsburg

WORK AMONG MosLEMs.
Question Discussed at an American
Board Meeting.

Question Discussed at an American
Board Meeting.
Following closely upon the accept
ance Of Mr.. Lehman as ambassador at
| Constantlnople comes the announce
ment Of the new attitude OF the Amer
lean board toward mission work among
the Moslems In Turkey, says the New
York Tribune.
Hitherto It has been feared that
Moslem fanatlclsm might result In yio-
lence against the missionaries at the
| front If It were plainly stated that this
! board Is endeayorlng through Its mis-
slonarles to make Jesus Christ known
TO the followers of Mohammed. For
nearly four score and ten years the
board has maintained a silence that
has been misinterpreted both In the
east and In the west Widely has the
uncontradicted but erroneous state
ment been circulated that mission
boards are not working for the Christ
lanzatlOn of Moslems," and that mo
Moslems become Christian"
There is even wide difference OF
opinion among the missionaries and
the friends of the board as to the wis
dom Of discussing this question here
Some fear II may result In open fanati-
cal violence against missionaries in
Turkey and elsewhere, while others be-
lleye that the time has come when the
board should speak boldly and frankly.
Last April witnessed long step In
advance In the conference In Cairo,

be not only a JOY to the millions, but
an Important source of profit to the
Post Office Department These cards
are easy to handle and do not increase
the expenses Of post office administra-
ton In proportion to the revenue they
bring In. Because Of their financial
value, which has seemed worth stlmu-
lating, the post cards have succeeded in
securing a bit Of favoritlsm from the
government which no other mail mat
ter has obtained. Before long IL will
be permissible TO write messages on the
address side OF the cards as well as on

sage from the sender Is but half of a

HAPPY. BUT BROKE
REMARKABLE FINANCIAL CAREER
 OF EDWARD HOOPER.
President of Union Iron and Steel Conn pany Once Served Prison Term for His Wild Spec
 uIatfOna.

New York, Sept. 5.-when the an- nouncenent was made yesterday that a receiver had been appointed for the Union Iron and Steel Company with offices in this city, friends who recall ed the remarkable financial career of Edward l.. Harper said that the fail ure would be a death blow to his hopes that he would yet gay off every dollar of his $6,000, 900 indebtedness.
 The company was the offshoot of 8 $60, 100000 enterprise which MT. liar per organized several years ago, and chief interest in the announcement of its failure centered in the fact that the concern was under the management of MT. Harper, who failed for mill lions years ago after disastrous spec ulation in wheat. His failure carried down the Fidelity National Bank, of Cincinnati, of which he was president, and whose funds he was charged with using in his wheat corner. He was sentenced to ten years in prison, and after serving six years, was released. After engaging in several enterprises in Cincinnati and the South, after his release from prison Harper's presence in New York attracted attention in 1905 by the fact that Judgments amounting to $5,2s0,S33 were entered against him.
 He took the matter phllosophically, and only last year, after unsuccessful- ly seeking relief from a portion of this enormous burden of debt, said 1t was a mere trif1e to him and that he felt confident of paying it all off In few years, with the profits from his undertakings.

BLACKSMITH THROWS
 HIMSELF UNDER CAR

Motorman Stops Car in Time to Save
 Him.
 Decatur, Sept. 5.--tspecial )-'Dutch'' Vogeler, an employe in the blacksmith ing department of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad shops in New Deca- tur, made an unsuccessful attempt to end his life this morning by throw ing himself in front of a rapidly nov ing, electric car on Second Avenue in New Decatur.
 The motorman stopped his car as soon as possible, ut not until the mans body was pinned under the front part of the car. It was with much difficulty that his body was removed from beneath the car. At first 1t was thought he was either killed or mort ally wounded. but 1t was found that he was only slightly injured.
 After being released from the car he ran towards the Louisville and Railroad, saying he would end his life under the wheels of locomotive. Sew eral men followed him and he changed his course towards the Tennessee Riv- CT. He was traced to the river where he seems to have entirely disappeared, and up to this hour he has not been found.
 It Is said that despondency. probably superinduced by an over indulgence of liquor, was the cause of the man mak- ing an attempt which may have proven successful so far as known at this time 10 take his own life.
