OUTING COST s5,OOO.
Man Who Didn't Believe in Banks
 Took His Wad With Him.

Sitting in his little tailor shop on the ground floor of the fiathouse at .2S6S seventh avenue, yesterday. Reu- ben Cohen told pathetic story of the loss of package containing $5,000, the savings of years of toii q am 39," said he, gloomily, "and too old to save $5,- 900 again
 Last october" he continued, "my customers all began to tell me that the banks were going up. So took my 5000 out of the banks and carried it wrapped up in some paper In pocket during the day, At night I slept with It under my pillow. When l went out and returned after dark If saw gang on one side of the street I would cross to the other. When my wife and went to the moving picture shows always kept my hand on my pocket When at last the warm weather came my children began to complain because l wouldn't take them anywhere where i've had 10 ride on the cars. l took them to places where we could walk, but during the whole time I never got on 9 street car of any kind. Papa said my little Yetta, why don't you take us 10 Coney Island any more?'
 Finally. Sunday before last, got Up my courage. So I took the four chil- dre and their mother to Fort George The children wanted to ride on the merry -go-rounds and the wheels, but we kept carefully away from all that X little after in the evening we start cd for the car Most of the afternoon had kept my hand on my pocket even while was sitting on the grass. lt was in my pocket when I took two of the children In my arms to the car. While we were sitting in the car and was enjoying the first real rest I forgotten all about the money, my wife whispered to me.
 Have you got it?'
 "I felt in my pocket There was no package of money there Then we all searched about on the grass, but could find nothing. My wife and I and the children cried The next day couldn't open the shop. l didn't even report the loss to the police for who that found such sum of money would give it l back. I read in the newspapers of a man that gave Up s90O. but who would | give up S5,000?
 "On Tuesday I went nearly wild. Who can save at g when he has four children? I went to the bridge that crosses the Harlem river at the head of Lenox avenue, and when no one was in sight jumped in.
 But two young men on the bank | jumped in and swan out and got me ashore After that l was arrested and taken to the Harlem hospital, where they kept me until Thursday, when was taken to court. The judge dis charged me and told me to save some more went home with my wife and found at the shop the two young men, who told me I must give them some money for saving me.
 "I give them money? l laughed. told them ] had no money and they went away"--New York Times.

DISPUTANTS IN CONFERENCE

The Hague, Aug. la.--The view is en- tertaned In diplomatic circles here that the difficulty between Holland and Venezuela Is not of a nature to he set tied by arbitration. and in explanation it is pointed out that the dispute Is not of private commercial character like those that have arisen between and America. In these cases the gov ernments In question sought satisfac- ton for claims. and Holland has no claim against Venezuela It Is main- talned here that the present question Is rather one of sovereignty and national honor, matters which are not suscepti- ble of solution by arbitration
 After a nine-hour session on the di=- pute between the Netherlands and ven- ezuela the cabinet dispersed shortly after midnight last night, and the min ister of foreign affairs. ]. R. D. NJ. Van Swinderen, proceeded to the royal chateau at Het Loo 10 acquaInt Queen Wilhelmina with the result of the council
 The terms of the Netherlands answer to the letter of President Castro of Venezuela were fully discussed, and II is understood that the actual text. as well as broad lines of action drawn up to meet any possible eventualltles were agreed upon.
 Willemstad, Curacoa, Aug. 1a--Let- ters received here today from Venezu- ella say that the authorities have es- abolished strict control over all Vene- 2uelan custom houses. No passengers are permitted 10 enter or depart from Venezuela without having first receIv- ed the permission of inc government, and such permission Is granted only to individuals who take passage for points in Europe or North America.
 Thie measure is supposed here to have been taken because of the exist
 ing difficulty between Venezuela and Holland.

The shcehnn Murder.
,nsonia Sentinel.)

There is more back of that New Ha- ven murder than has come out, The printed accounts give not the slightest excuse for such crime. It was one of the most brutal, most heartless in the annals of Connecticut. The theory that the young man was mistaken for a melon thief does not hold good, and even if he were guilty of such a crime 1t offered no excuse for murder or for the murderers taking the law into their own hands. It seems more probable that another crime was premeditated, and that the girls shrieks thwarted their plans. However, all of these things and more will be for jury of twelve men to decide, and 1t Is to be hoped they will be good men and true"--true to their duty of American liberty. true to their civic duty in up- holding law and order, true to uphold ing neighborhood peace and safety, and the sanctity of the home. The New Ha- ven police are to be congratulated upon having made speedy arrest. This ar rest should be followed by fair trial. Tn some other states, less exasperatiug offenses than this one have been fol- lowed by lynchings.

Wanted in Connecticut.

One of the great advantages of the direct primary law Is that its operation causes voters long in advance of an election to obtain a fair amount of knowledge of the party candidates There is nothing cut and dried about direct primaries. The appeal of the men who seek nominations is to the party voters themselves. Consequently. the voters on entering the campaign in which candidates of different parties are pitted against one another have much advance information to guide them. They know not only something of the personality of each conspicuous candidate, but they know what infu- ences led to his nomination-what hs stands for, in short, The voter has It. tie opportunity to get so clear a view of candidate after an entire party puts itself at his back, and makes sup port of him a test of loyalty to party traditions and party principles Then the voter merely sees that all republlc- ans or all democrats are expected to support this or that candidate because he Is the party nominee The question of fitness is smothered under the de- mand for party success. As a. consci . entious citizen he may strive to learn whether or not a candidate is ft but he Is likely to be confused by the clamor of friends and foes so that he votes the straight party ticket.

Gl eat Conference of All Foreign Christian Workers, Regard less of Creed or Ma

ROOSEVELT STRONG FOR IT
President Endorses Project, Declaring This m Age Where Combinn- ton Is Only Means of Ac-
 complishmcnt

New York, Aug, 1a.-A foreign missionary conference composed of missionaries and missionary workers from all parts of the world. will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland in June, 1910. The forthcoming conference, which Is tho third of its kind, has re- celved the endorsement of President Roosevelt, William IT, Taft James Bryce, the British ambassador to the United States, and others, and pr. Si- las McBee of New York and pr. J. L.. Barton of Boston, are at present In Europe engaged In arranging for gen eral committees to consider various branches of church work.
 A strong committee has been form ed in Great Britain and has in COG operation with 1t an American com mittee representing the foreign mis- sion boards of North America and 2 continental committee. representing the foreign mission boards of Eur ope.
 President Roosevelt, in his letter of endorsement sent to the Rev. Arthur J. Broyn, pr. ]. l.. Barton, John k. Mott and Dr, Slas McBce. says in part:
 Tt seems to me that the effort 10 bring together missionaries from all parts of the world and from every body If Christians, represents q movement of deep importance and singular lmpresslvcness. The pur- pose of the conference is first, to concentrate the attention of the cn- tire Christian world upon the vast mass of human beings, who have never yet heard the gospel and sec- ond, to prevent free consideration oi the best method to obey the command to preach the gospel to all tho world Surely WI have a right to expect thai ! the capacity for forethought and co. ! operation. that Is, tho capacity to look i ahead and to unite to accomplish ob' | iects seen from a far--onc of those | high powers peculiar to civilization shall be exhibited to a peculiar degret ] among those who preach the common i salvation which comes through tho | word of the Lord, Tn past history | ! has ever been true that all senses whether of government or private in ! dviduals. whether of scholars or o men of action, have needed the awak enlng and controlling power of tha high and sef-sacrinclng moralit, which accompanies the Christian re ! ligion: and nowadays lt is needed more than ever because of the mar ] vellous ways in which both the goot l and bad in civilized nations are beinl ! carried to the utmost parts of th' earth, The forces of evil are nor mighty than ever before; but so ar, tho forces for good. II Is an age 0 l combination and If we are to accom- plish anything of value we must al strive together for common end. I your committee can lay the founda l tions broad and deep enough to in duce all kinds of Christian bodies t' take part in this great ecumenica conference at Edinburgh, far reaching good cannot fail to result
 With heartiest wishes for you success, believe mo,

An Era of Simplicity.

We shall be g. lelsurely people 500 not allow the best hours of the day to go by while we lie in bed. In sum mer we shall be up and about by 5 o'clock as 8 matter of course, and we shall go to bed, like the day birds. when the sun sets, In the winter we shall be content with shorter days and longer periods of sleep. There will be no. waste of daylight; and so there will be less to employ artificial light,
 q say 1t wlll be the era of cim- plicty The result of our simple ways and our simple days will be that we shall live to great ages; to live 15o years will be nothing unusual. Accidents will be few and far between, and doctors will have little to do, since nearly every one will be healthy,
 Looking down from a height on our life of to-day, how foolish 1t ap- pears, We work furiously. play furi- ously--for what noble objects? Climb to a mountain top, and behold silk hat. Think of what man suffers every morning who would keep him. self clean shaven. Ponder on the la DOT of letter writing with pen and ink. Reflect on the barbarlty of earrings, Then look back on our life of to-day from 800 years hence, and tell me what you think of it."
