EPISCOPAL CHURCH
AGAINST DIVORCES
Rescuers Fail in Effort to
Save Those Dead.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE Episco-
pal church took very high stand re-
garding marriage relations at the
Lambeth conference which l have just
been attending in London" said Bish-
OPP David H. Greer of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of New York on
landing from the steamer Majestic,
which had brought him home from his
vacation trip to Europe.
Every one agreed" continued the
bishop, that If divorce was ever to be
allowed, plea should rest on one
ground only-infidelity. The confer
ence was split on the question whether
there might be divorce even on
those grounds. Some contended that
the marriage tie is so sacred that it
should not be broken for any reason
and others insisted that the church
should take a more liberal view. OF
course the Lambeth conference is not
legislative body. 1t is merely con-
sultive, but its recommendations will
get widespread attention"

Chairman of Speakers Bureau Relieved
When He Finds Watson Not Badly Hurt

Indianapolis, Aug. 14.-William H.
Hays. chairman of the republican
speaker bureau, was an alarmed
young man last night. Hays bureau
is attached TO the republican state
committee headquarters in the Clay
pool hotel
For a week Hays has been busy
making bookings for James e. Wat
son, republican candidate for COVER
nor of Indiana. Mr.. Watson was in In.
dianapolis yesterday morning, but
Hays was out of the city and did not
see him. Late in the afternoon he
learned that Watson had been injured
in an automobile accident in making
hurried trip from Ridgeville to Win
chester
Gosh" said Hays when he heard of
the accident, this is bad, for I've got
700 engagements for Watson in the
next two months
Immediately the chairman Of the
speakers bureau got busy over the
telephone. The clerks in Mr.. Hays
office were startled by the following
remarks of their chief:
rs that you, JIM"
WAS it your back or leg?"

BELLS AS BAROMETERS.
Their Tone VIII Indicate What til
Weather VIII BE.

Their Tone VIII Indicate What the
Weather VIII BE.
Church bells can serve another pur-
pose besides ringing you to worship.
They make good substitute for a
barometer. As the atmosphere is the
sole conductor of sound from the bell
to the ear, it is obvious that the in
tensity and quality Of the sound as
perceived by the ear will depend on
the state of the medium through which
1t comes. For instance, if bells sound
very distinctly of an evening. this
points to the probability of a wet day
following. since air heavily charged
with moisture conducts sound better
than dry air. So. too as dense air con-
ducts better than light air, bells sound
more clearly when the barometer Is
high than when it is low, other things
being equal. and so, too, with hot and
cold air. These principles are familiar
to all country folk living within the
sound Of church bells. About five
miles from Lebekke, in Belgium, there
are some small bells which are called
water bells" When they are heard
distinctly in the town rain is sure to
follow.--London Spectator.

TIL SWING" VOWED
FRIGHTENED NEGRO
Slayer of Kentuckian Guarded
By Troops.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 14,-Rufus
Browder, a negro who was brought
here from Russellville last night for
safekeeping, said he believed he would
be hanged. He said the citizens de-
manded that fate for him because he
slew James Cunningham in Logan.
I'll swing" he said.
During the trip here from Russell
vile Browder was uneasy in spite of
Sheriff Tom Rhea and the 40 soldiers
who came with them. When he saw
South Louisville. however, he grinned
and said: Gee, I'm glad to be here
Rhea took his prisoner to the Jail,
and said that the trip was uneventful
Crowds gathered at the way stations
to see the soldiers and the negro, but
no evidence was offered.

FOUR DROWN WHEN
BOAT IS CAPS|zEO
Stand Taken at Lambeth Con-
ference.

WE WILL KILL
YOU SAYS MESSAGE
Young Turks Tell Mehmid Ali
Bey He Is Doomed
To Death.
ENVOY is IN TERROR.
MAN WHO HAS REPRESENTED
SULTAN IN AMERICA TURNED
PALE AND TOOK TO BED WHEN
HE READ MESSAGE.

Washington, Aug. lift you dare
to come to New York we will kill you.
The sun has risen anew in our nation.
They that have dimmed the luster of
its name must die. Izzet Bey and his
son shall answer to those who love
their country"
This portentous message, carrying
terror to the heart of Mehmid Ali Bey,
the discredited envoy of the sultan,
was received by him a few hours after
the cable Diminishing him Is minister,
and it was this decree, passed by a
band of Young Turks" in New York,
that caused him to collapse Tuesday
and take to his bed.
The message was written on red
paper with black ink, and was signed
1.-THE Avengers of Our Nation"
1t is said that when the paper was
handed to him by an under secretary
the swarthy face of Mehmid Ali Bey
turned a CHASTITY white and he reeled
against the. wall of the legation Office
as though he had received blow,
while his secretaries sprang to prevent
his falling to the floor.
1t was the fear of assassins that
caused his father, Izzet Pasha, for 10
years the power behind the throne
OF the sultan to flee from CONSTANT
nople and hide himself in some other
part of the world, and even now he
lives in mortal fear that the curved
knife of some Turk will find a rest
ing place in his body.
Many prayers has Mehmid Bey sent
up to Allah to save him from such a
fate, and many supplications has he
poured forth that his once powerful
parent may be spared such an end.
The friends of Mehmid Ali Bey have
disappeared as snow before the sun.
The falling of his star of power and
the advent of Munji Bey, powerful,
alert, resourceful, practically leaves
Ali Bey and his father without coun-
try, exiles ina strange land.

What "Haniro Meant.

Though the Scottish guard of France
had long lost its natural character. it
jealousy retained until the crash Of
1850 all its curious old privileges,
which, though they led to constant
wrangles with other regiments, had
been duly allowed by Louis XIV. He
was actually obliged to intervene at
his own wedding to compose a dispute
as to the precedence of the Scots
guards and the Cent gentilshommes.
Proud as a Scotchman' was an old
proverb in France, and their successors
in the bodyguard did their best to JUS
tify it. But the most curious survival.
long after word of Scotch had been
heard in the corps, was the practice of
answering ''hamir' "a corruption for Il
am here') when the roll was called.
which was religiously maintained, at
all events, down to the revolution.

Dfstnnces In Venezuela.

In travelling in Venezuela it is not
enough to ask how far distant n place
is, but also how far up or down-in other
words, what its altitude is, and, no less
important, what hills and valleys have
to be crossed. Thus it is not only
necessary to know that Caracas is six
miles distant in a straight line from La
Guayra, its seaport, but that 1t lies at
an elevation of nearly half a mile above
sea level and that to reach it one has
to cross mountain wall rising far
above the clouds. This. to the experience
ed traveller, means that he must pre-
pare for an entirely different climate

An English judge recently had an IN

dull to make a defense or answer in

judge. Suddenly the judge said, Where

About five minutes off," was at once
forthcoming. Then just run home
and fetch your wife. and run little
quicker than you talk" 1t was done,
and the wife's clear and businesslike
statement of the facts won the day for
her helpless husband.
