voice, and he used all of his powers of persuasion and pathos on that half-hos- tile crowd facing him. I'll try this case said Loveioy.'
 Here MT. Cannon simulated the manner of the barrister of the old school who addressed a jury.
 I want twelve men, all of them demo- crats, to stand up, said Lovejoy. Then turning to them he began again: You will well and truly hear the statement touching the question I am about to put and a true verdict render as you shall answer at the last judgment day
 "Loveioy seemed to look far away into the distant treetops now" said MT. Can non, and his face had the absent, strain ed look of one seeing a vision of distant happenings as he continued: On plan tation in the distant southland, in the low miasme tic swamps there was a woman. She was young, handsome, and, under Gods law, had as much right to live and control her own actions as any of us. Shewas of one-eighth African and seven-eights white blood, just like your blood and mine. The overseer of the plantation, where she was held In bond age, sought to persecute her because she would not assent to his advances She escaped into the swamps. Bloodhounds were set on her trail. She boarded lit- tie steamboat which piled on a small river which empted into the great Father of Waters. In the fullness of time she landed at the first station in Illinois, name not given, and proceeded from sta- ton to station. Finally she arrived in Princeton.
 MT. Cannon was now swaylng back and forth in time with the slow cadence of his voice, and as his intoning grew low and full of pathos it was not difficult to imagine the effect the words of Love joy had on the audience of that distant time.
 "Lovejoy was approaching his climax said the Speaker. c" myself, Owen Love joy, was the keeper of that station at
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-09-23

Princeton. She came to my house hungry and told me her story. She was fairer than my own daughter, proud and tall and beautiful. She was naked and I clothed her. She was hungry and I gave her bread. She was penniless and I gave her money. She was unable to reach the next station and l sent her to 1t. So from station to station she crossed the northland far from the baying dogs on her trail and out from under the shadow of the flag we love and venerate into Canada. Today she lives there a free and happy woman.'
 "As Lovejoy reached the end of his simple recital some people openly sobbed and cried. He turned his eyes to the faces of his audience and thundered: AS you shall answer to God what would you have done? Get up. Rise. men, and give your verdict Heads were held Up and men and women jumped to their feet, There were cries of You did right and We would have done the same' It was wonderful to see what an effect the tale of the man, with his great magnetism and fine presence, had on that gathering of men who in their hearts came to the meeting with hostility toward him"
 Having delivered himself of the exact words of the orator of half a century ago. MT. Cannon seemed to search his memory for something further to support his at titude as to the greatness of his idol He began with a renewed eulogy of him:
 "I.ovejoy was a wonderful man, and while he was more extreme than Lincoln he was vote maker and q vote getter. David Davis thought he was so extreme in his views and utterances that he spoiled votes, but l say to you that he had abil- ity like John the Baptist, and hic ry fin the wilderness prepared the way for the great leaders who came after him and saved the republic in the civil war time Lincoln was, of course, the leader then and afterwards, but Lovejoy made more votes for the republican party than any other man. even than Lincoln"
 Again Mir. Cannon was thoughtful, says the writer in Appleton's as he pulled at his short, black cigar and tilted 1t up toward his hat brim

DANCES FROM SPAIN.
kIaw & Elranger Import Beauty
 Show for New Vaudeville.
From the New York Times.

FfOm the New Ofk 1lmeS.
 Twenty senoritas from sunny Spain daintily picked their way down the gang plank of the American liner Phil adelphi ia when she tied up at the foot of Fulton street Saturady. In q moment they became the center of interest on the crowded pier.
 M B. Leavitt and a distinguished looking foreigner followed in the wake of the moving beauty show. Mir. Lea vitt's presence explained the show. The senoritas were the members of the Congress of Spanish Dancers' brought over by Klaw & Eranger from Madrid to appear in the inaugural advanced vaudeville bill at the New York thea Ire next Saturday. The Spaniard with Mr. Leavitt was Maestro Santos, en- gagged to stage the act here.
 It took the dancers just about two minutes to reach the pier and there scatter They were not the least bit afraid. and didn't look as if they were. They wanted to hurry out and see the city and with difficulty were restrain ed until their baggage could be in- spected. MT. Leavitt explained that all the way up the bay they were gazing at the tall buildings and talking about New York and the things they were to see and do here.
 "One of the girls" said MT. Leavitt, told me she was going to write home how they put the houses on top of each other in New York"
 When the senoritas faced the customs inspectors, however there was fun. They didn't know anything about if, an done of them wanted to know of the stage hands had come to take their baggage to the theatre. Another put an entirely different construction on if. An inspector stepped up and spoke 10 her. Immediately she opened her hand bag. dived into it and brought up

SPEAKER CANNON
 4 HERO WORSHIPER His Ideal Was an AboIitioniSt
 Stump Speaker HE REMEMBERS L0VEJ0Y Word Had Gone Out That He Would Not Be Allowed to Speak at
 Greenup, But He
HE REMEMBERS LOVEJOY

Uncle Joe turns out to be something of hero worshiper according to an ar- t1cle in Appleton's for September and his hero is an abolltionist stump speaker. He says:
 Word was sent out that Owen Loveioy would not be permitted to make a speech fin Greenup, but he made his speech and he made it right from the shoulder. 1 was in Coles county at the time I have in mind.
 'I will always remember my first sight of Owen Lovejoy. l saw d big. heavy man, with a shock of thick. dark hair. When you looked into his face you knew he could lick his weight in wildcats, if necessary
 MT. Cannon had grown interested in his recital He stood erect in the draw ing room of the car and with hands thrust deep into his pockets and his kindly gray eye bright with the recollection he continued:
 "Lovejoy looked over the crowd turn ing his eyes from group to group of faces in the mass before him. Then, with the I told that Owen Lovejoy would not be here today, and that if he did come he would not be allowed to speak. The oldest member of my family lies in his grave at Alton over on the Mississippi, a victim of mob violence. He died in the defense of liberty. It is the most a man can do in any cause. I will speak here today. You could have heard a leaf rustic anywhere, almost heard pin drop.
 The speaker was now so interested that he was using his well-known full-arm wind-mill-sweep gestures, and in sec ond more he quoted Lovejoy his voice simulated the deep tones of the man of that former day, and his eyes burned with some reflection of the enthusiasm which must have prompted Loveioy.
 Well, he began to speak," said BIr. Cannon. He was not afraid, and right from the ,rst, when he had occasion to do so, he called a spade spade It did not take him more than ten minutes to get full attention and almost possession of that crowd. Even at this distant day 1 can remember what he said finally, as though his voice was stil ringing in my ears. I am called an abolitionist,' he shouted Some republicans are afraid of being classed with me. If am an abo- litionist, make the most of it, and you must know that there are many more like me.

The showing of the ball team against
Bates was rather unsatisfactory and
the coach planned to have the team
out Thursday afternoon but he was
prevented from doing so by the rain.
The team will go to Brunswick tomOr-
row to play an exhibition game with
B0wtloin. The team will return in the
afternoon and be given an additional
practice on the home diamond. The
personnel of the team in tomorrow's
game is uncertain. 1t will probably be
the same as it was against Bates with
one exception. Cary will play and pos
sibly Thompson will pitch. The team
will take it easy, however, as they
wish to be in condition for the game

place.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET,
Features Of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, June 6-1he transactions
which carried prices of stocks upwards
IN today'S market We're limited in amount
and We're believed to be from profession
al sources almost entirely. TOday's rise
was due in large part to the positive as
SertioES contained in Washington adViceS
that determination had been reached
after consultation among members of the
administration to refrain from ar active
pursuit of the Hartman railroad combi-
nations because of a fear that the gen
eral situation might be imperied by such
a course.
Nothing occurred during the day to
change the conditions fixing values. The
retirement from the Chicago & Alton di-
rectoratc of a friend of the Hartman in
terestS revived some discussion of the
suppoSition long held in the financial dis
trict of severe friction between that in
tereSt and the present control of the AL
ton. This discussion, however, did not in
terfere with the strength of both the
Hartman and the Rock Island stocks.
The admission OF the absorption of a
dominant interest in the Boston & Maine
by the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford was confirmatory of the general be-
lief for some time past. The incident had
some stimulating effect on speculative
sentiment.
Much was heard of tie sound conditions
in the iron and steel trade. The average
increase of net earnings for April of all
railroads reporting thus far shows a per-
ccntage of more than 80 compared with
last year Another drop in the London
