American Athletes Did Well in the
First Days Events of the
Olympic Games.

London, Eng. = Rain interfered
badly with the opening of the fourth
international Olympiad by the king
at the stadium at Shepherds Bush
and although it cleared off an hour
before the hour set for the formal
ceremony, the attendance fell short
of expectations. The seating ca.
pacity of the stadium is upwards of
10000, and while the covered stands
contained sections which were well
filled, there were many vacant
spaces.
The American team of athletes are
well satisfied with the results OBJ
tanned by them on the first day, hav-
ing got two men, ]. P. Sullivan and
Melvin w. Sheppard, both of the
Irish-American Athletic club, into the
final heat, which will be run to-day,
of the 1,500-meter race. They were
unfortunate in the first heat, when
two of their best men at the distance
had to run against each other and
these same conditions prevailed in
the second heat, when ]. P. Halstead.
New York Athletic club, was beaten
by his team partner, Melvin w. Shep.

ODD NOTIONS OF DlsLovALTy.
Marseillaise Must Not Be Whlstled In
Berlin Streets.

Most Americans have little idea of
what constitutes a reasonable offense
in countries of the old world wherein
despotic notions still prevail. A year
or so ago there took place trial in
Barr, Alsace, which, according to our
up-to-date ideas, would have been most
amusing, had not mans liberty been
in jeopardy.
1t appears that one day, IN the.
streets of that place, laborer at work
had been cheerfully whistling. Sud-
denly gendarme, who had been with
in hearing, appeared at the mans
side. The workman, however, did not
observe the officer, and continued to-
whistle his tune.
you are under arrest" said the
gendarme, placing his hand on the uD.
suspecting laborer's shoulder.
What for?" demanded the aston.
ished toiler.
For seditious conduct" explained
the officer. You have been whistling
La Marseillaise.'
La Marseillaise," because it is the
French revolutionary air, is forbidden
in German Alsace.
The workman at once Indignantly
denied the allegation, explaining that
he had not been whistling La Marseil-
laise," but the march of the Bruins
wick Hussars. II used to belong to
that regiment" said he, "and that is
our regimental air"
The gendarme, however, who as \
German, prided himself on his knowl-
edge OF music, insisted that he was
well acquainted with both Of the tunes
in question, and that he could not be
mistaken. Accordingly he took the
offender into custody, and the man
was in due course of time put on trial
on the charge of having whistled a
seditious tune in a public place.
Both the accused and the gendarme
told their stories to the presiding mag
istrate with every appearance of
truth and confidence. Moreover, as
the workman had the reputation of be-
ing an honest and loyal man the court
was much perplexed.
In this predicament adjournment
was taken to the council room adjoin-
ing. The accused and the accuser we're
summoned in turn, and the workman
was commanded to whistle the march
of the Brunswick Hussars while the
officer was ordered to render La
Marseillaise."
Each did his best; but the airs
proved in the ear of the court to be
so much unlike that it was regarded
as highly improbable that the
gendarme could have been hi--aken.
The accused was therefore sent to
prison; but his general bearing, not
to speak of his excellent whistling.
impressed the court so favorably that
he was sentenced to only three days
confinement.-Sunday Magazine.

CONVENTION.
CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS
Are Named - Chairman Peeke De-
nounces Woman Suffrage and
the Anti-saloon League, but
Praises George q. Cox.

Columbus, GA platform of one

sue of prohibition, is the object of
movement started at the opening
session of the state Prohibition con-
vention Monday afternoon by Tempo
rary Chairman H. L. Peeke of San
dusky, and the struggle will be car
ried to the national Prohibition con-
vention on Wednesday.
Chairman Peeke, in an address
which consumed more than two
hours. assailed female suffrage,
which has come to be regarded as an
established tenet of the Prohibition
party, declaring that women drink
more and men less than they did a
decade ago and that the weakest laws
regulating the liquor traffic are in the
woman suffrage states of Colorado,
Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. He as
sailed the Indifference of the
churches to the prohibition move
ment, criticised the Anti-Saloon
league and praised George B. Cox of
Cincinnati for refusing to credit any
votes to temperance that were not
cast for Prohibition tickets.
At the night session the committee
on permanent organization recon-
mended E. ]. Pinney of Cleveland for
permanent chairman. 1t had been
expected that Temporary Chairman
Peeke would be made the permanent
presiding officer, but opposition de-
veloped on account of his criticisms
of the attitude of churches toward
prohibition and his attack on woman
suffrage
E. E. Frazier of Wellsville was rec
commended for permanent secretary.

WOMAN SHOT HER SON-IN-LAW
NEW YORK DENTIST WAS PROB
ABLY FATALLY WOUNDED.
Man Who Went Free After killina
His Father-in-Law Figures in
Another Sensation.

Northport, N. y Standing with.
in few feet of the spot
where, little more than two years
ago, he shot and killed his aged fa-
ther.in-law, DR.. James Simpson, a
dentist of New York, was shot and
perhaps mortally wounded Monday
by his mother-in-law, Mrs. BARLEY T..
Horner, the woman he made a wild
ow. DR.. Simpsons wife, from whom
he has been estranged for many
months, was near when the shot was
fred, but did not witness the shoot
ing. Upon learning that it was her
husband who had been wounded she
refused to go near him and DR..
Simpson had to crawl to a house 200
feet away to have his wounds attend
ed to.
Mrs. Horner was later arrested
and held in $4,000 bail, while DR..
Simpson, with the assistance of two
hospital in New York. The bullet
lodged in his liver and an immediate
operation was performed to take the
bullet out. The doctors say that DR..
Simpson has only small chance of
recovery.
Statements from Dr. Simpson and
from Mrs. Horner as to the circum-
stances attending the shooting disa-
gree. The dentist says that he had
received word that his wife intended
to sue him for divorce and that he
went to the Horner home to talk
with her about it. He says he rang
the doorbell and upon receiving no
response peered through the door
pane. He saw Mrs. Horner and
called to her to open the door, Then,
DR.. Simpson says, Mrs. Horner
grabbed a revolver and shot him.
The bullet entered his body above
the abdomen and he fell back
against the door sill. A second shot
was fired at him, he claims, but the
bullet went wild.
Mrs. Horner does not deny that
she did the shooting, but she claims
justification. She said that DR.. Simp-
son had several times called at the
house and that his visits were unwel-
come. When he came Monday she
says she ordered him away and when
he refused to go she took up a re.
volver and shot at him.
Constable Hanson, who arrested
Simpson in 1905 when the dentist
shot Mrs Horner's husband, arrested
Mrs. Horner She was charged with
felonious assault. After Justice Haw.
kins had fixed bail at $4,000, Mrs.
Simpson, the prisoners daughter,
qualified as bondsman and secured
the release of her mother. Justice
Hawkins set the hearing for Wed.
nesday.
This second tragedy at the Horner
homestead is only another chapter
in a series of unhappy domestic
events during the last few years. The
shooting of BARLEY T. Horner by
DR.. Simpson aroused the countryside
in December, 1905, and when the
dentist was put on trial his wife took
the witness stand against him. Mrs.
Horner also gave damaging testimony
against her son-in-law. DIR. Simpson
was going through the manual of
arms with a shotgun when he acci-
dentally shot his father-in-law.
