z BRYAN is SCATTERING.
His Attacks on Republican Candidate
and President is Reacting.

and President is Reacting.
Bryan s attacks, as vague and in
definite in expression as they were
baseless in fact. upon the record and
candidates of the Republican party,
have served one good purpose-they
have called the attention of many
who might otherwise have remained
in ignorance to what has been accom-
plished by Republican administra
tions during the past twelve years,
and to the tue character of the men
whom the Republican party has placed
in nomination.
So far from being on the defensive
the Republican party has not only
challenged, but welcomed, inquiry,
and it is not too much to say that
thousands of Democrats have been led
by the facts as presented to take q
stand for the continuation of Repphli.
can policies under a Republican
administration. Bryan's ranting has
ceased to have the power it once had
because those who thought at first
that where there was SO much noise
there must be something behind it
have found there was nothing behind
it except the Chinese plan of seeking
to scare foe with tomtoms, screeches
and bowls. The Republican party
and the party's candidates met the
tomtoms with the artillery of facts,
and Bryan is now on the defensive, if
not on the run He has discovered
that the average American voter is
not to be fooled into mistaking for a
substantial meal BaImecide banquet
of wind, and that while audiences
may sometimes show good humor by
giving candidate an uproarious
reception, they are apt to do some
thinking before they vote. Bryan
has found that out before.
For the rest of the campaign
Bryan will be on the defensive
That means that he will have to do
some explaining, not only about his
party's record, but about the record
he has made for himself. And why
should he not Mr. Taft does not
ask that anything in his career be
forgotten, or apologized for, or omitted
from consideration by the voters to
whom he appeals. There is no
reason in justice, logic or fair play,
therefore, for drawing domino over
the real Bryan and allowing him to
masquerade as an innocent just
brought into the limelight
Bryan must either defend Bryan or
take to the woods and stay there.

''Men of worth and standing in the

RESPONSIBILITY.

Responsibility is a very good thing
In its way. but it does not rise superior
to all considerations; | would not for
a moment venture to hint that it was
a matter of taste; but I think will go
as far as his; that if position is ad-
mittedly unkind, uncomfortable, I'M
necessary and superfuously useless,

Church of England, the sooner man
Is out of it the better for himself and

The first game between these schools

CRUDE DENTISTRY IN CHINA.
How 4 Native Doctors Up Teeth in
That Country.

How crude 10 the dentistry of the
humber inhabitants of modern China
is disclosed by Rev. John MACEDONIAN
in the following bit Of description
published in the North China Daily
News. Right in front of us On the
street doctors table is a small heap Of
teeth, not manufactured by any cum
ming workman, but by the subtle
alchemy of nature. They are of all
sizes and conditions. There are huge
molars that have done yoeman service
in the past and even teeth strong and
determined looking and worn, as
though they had failed in the battle
OF life, and had come here to end
their days. They we're all marked
and discolored with the signs and
symbols Of the ear and tear they had
gone through. They were a grewsome
sight to look upon and l wondered
much how such a curious collection
could have been gathered together.
Where did you get these from? l
asked the doctor, pointing to the heap.
which, however. l was careful not to
touch.
"'Oh! l bought them,' he replied.
When . man has to part with a TOOTH
he continued. he does not throw It
away. He brings it to me and l buy it
for a few cash, for he knows that In
my profession it will come in handy
some time or other Just as he was
speaking a patient came up to him.
On being asked what he wanted he
replied simply by opening his mouth
to the very widest extent. 1t was q
huge caver and reminded n of the
entrance to the Thames tunnel. II
was seer that his four upper front
teeth were wanting. having been
knocked out by . fall from q wall.
and he was anxious to know 4 the
doctor could supply their place with
new ones
"'Of course l can he promptly re-
piled, and measuring the cavity In the
jaw, he carefully and with prscticed
eye selected from the heap the four
teeth that would exactly all it. He
then drilled a hole in them longitudin-
ally and inserted a bit of coarse iron
wire to bind them to each other. The
ends of the wire were next inserted in
holes that were carefully drilled into
the teeth on each side of the cavity
and at once the chasm disappeared
and the crowd that had been looking
on with critical eyes declared that
his mouth looked as natural as though
the new ones were those with which
nature had originally supplied him."

EAGLE Screamed
At Colgate.
CROWD ATTENDED CELEBRATION THE CITY EVER HELD.

The great day at Colgate was
ushered in with the salute as the
sun was rising. AT ten O'Clock
the Calthumpian parade took
place and was one of the princi-
pal events of the day. The
Dago band was a winner and
took the prize. The tband was
made up of a concertina and the
rest home made instruments.
They played the popular airs Of
the day and so took the fancy Of
the crowd that the hat was passed
several times by the bystanders
for the benefit of the musicians.
Attorney w. j. Courtney de-
liyered an eloquent address at
1880 and the Presbyterian Choir
rendered some fine selections of
patriotic songs. The only draw

Mayville and Hope have again met
and this time the local band Of braves
were compelled to leave their warlocks
in the hands of the enemy. There
were two battles July 3rd on the home
grounds of the Mayville aggregation.
Both games were fine exhibitions of
ball, but lacked in life and brilliant
playing. The first game gave the
Mayville crowd the first smell of VIC
tory they had had while playing with
Hope this season ana encouraged them
so much that they had to have a taste
and SO the Hope team let them have it.
We are sorry as this will lower the
fine record our boys are making, but
rather let them lose every game than
resort to the dirty playing that some
of the teams resort to. We had an
exhibition of hat when one of the
Mayville bunch was partly carried off
the diamond after an intentional col
lision with our first baseman, on the
home field, when a certain base runner,
caught between bases, struck the ball
aside to make himself safe. No dears-
these were Mayvil]e tactics, but they
seldom win anything. We have no
complaint to make as all of our play
ers were pretty we'll used up before they
went over and all were surprised that
they held the Mayville swarm of base
hoppers down as we'll as they did.
The game by innings as follows.

back was a slight dampness of
the atmosphere once or twice
during the day, but not enough
to dampen the enthusiasm of the
the great crowd that filled the
city. The ball game at 800 was
a lively affair. The Hope boys
trimmed the Page lads and won
the purse of $500. The races
were quite exciting and the cause
of a good deal Of merriment to
the people. The days festivities
were wound up by a second ball
game between Page and Hope
and a grand display of fire works
and a bowery dance. All we're
fully satisfied and highly graft
fed with the day spent at Col
gate.

Hope people who had no idea that
Sherbrooke boosted a band. At
ter having rendered a few select
ions they were invited to refresh
ments in Wamberg's and the
Gold Medal Pharmacy. They
then gave a few more selections
and had to stop on account of
darkness. This means that Hope
will have to return the compli-
ment this season. There were
fourteen in the band and all han
died their instruments as though
they were used to them and knew
what they were made for.

SherbrO0ke Band Pays Hope
Pleasant Visit.

Tuesday evening quite a few
wagon and buggy loads of ladies
arrived in the city shortly af
ter supper. There we're quite a
few trying to find out the occasion
and they we're only enlightened
when four autos loaded with the
Sherbrooke band made their ap-
pearance. The band gave a fine
street concert and their music
was gratefully received by the
