"IrviniteS" Driven From Bal
timore Suburb by En-
ragged Citizens.
REFUSAL TO LEAVE
MET WITH PISTOLS
SO-CaIled Followers of Apostles
Forced TO Abdicate Camp Meet
ing in Early Morning.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 16.-The anger of
the people Of Brooklyn, near Baltimore,
with the religious sect known as the
'Irvinites." whose members profess to
follow the teachings Of the Apostles
Peter and Paul, reached a climax early
today. when about thirty male residents
Of the little town applied the torch 10
the tents which have been the place
Of worship of the strange sect, and
burned them To the ground
The populace of Brooklyn has. been
much wrought up over the sect, and il
had been rumOred through the day
that the residents had planned a mid
night attack upon the camping grounds,
but this had been laughed at by mem
bers Of the denomination
When the torch was applied the tents
were deserted, for the members of the
sect were sleeping soundly In nearby
houses, and only two men acted as
sentinels.
Within minute after the arrival of
the destroyers. the two large tents were
mass OF flames. The two guards OF
the sect retreated to the houses on the
approach Of the mob and raised the
alarm While they were arousing the
4rVintes,' the most energetic of the
antagonists had been busy with kero-
sene.
Hardly had the flames appeared when
-FOUR Of the ''Irvinites'' dashed I'D To the
place. and were met by the attacking
party with pistols. The members or
me seer say they will get away from
the place as hurriedly as possible.
All Leave Today.
The camping grounds were a scene Of
great animation this morning. some Of
the disciples were removing foodstuns
from a shanty which they had near the
camp. Others were figuring connections
OF railway and steamboat. and still
others were on their way to board the
cars preparatory to going away.
A rev minutes before midnight there
was not sign OF a demonstration. and
the last policeman had left the grounds.
Shortly after u several men went to
the corner Of Fourth and Patapsco
streets, lowered the arc light, and out il

minutes later between thirty-and seven

and withC at making an effort To save
the tent they retired to the house near
by. The mob fired three shots, and
WlIhout more ado set the tents on fire
and departed.
The neighbOrs were aroused. and sIlr-

FEAR OF BOMBS KEPT
KAISER FROM FRANCE
Advised by Police Not to Cross
Frontier While on
Trip.

PARIS Sept 16.-A dispatch from
Mulhausen. Alsace, says that the real
reason for the German Emperor's sud
den abandonment of his excursion into
French territory a few days ago was. ac-
cording TO the police, the presence of
French anarchists in The district which
the Emperor proposed TO visit At the
last moment the police learned that two
French anarchists had gone to The
frontier with bombs. This infOrmatio~
came too late to permit the police TO
follow ana intercept the men. the de-
scription Oc whom was vague.
Accordingly, the Emperor himself was
urged not TO cross the frontier. and he
reluctantly consented, not through fear.
but in view of the unpleasant conse-
quences that were certain to follow the
occurrence Of any untOWard incident
while he was in French territory.

WISE SEE
HARD WINTER NEXT

HANOVER, Pa, Sept 1G,-Unmistaka-
BILE signs lead local weather prophets
to predict a severe winter.
An old weather-wise farmer remarked
that the weeds have grown unusually
high, which he said indicates a long.
seyere winter. He said nature causes
the weeds 10 grow tall so that birds
can feed upon the seeds when the
ground IS covered with snow.
Another indication. he continued, was
the fact that squirrels are carrying their
winter supply of grain into hollow trees
When they deposit them in less secure
places a mild winter may be expected.

South Dakota.
Into Iowa Next.
The next turn will be into Iowa,
thence to Nebraska. and on into Kan
sas. After that. the next State viii be
Missouri, and from Missouri the last
lap of the trip viii take the cauuIdate
into Chicago. 1t is the plan that one
big speech shall be made in each State,
and that as many rear-platform talks
as possible shall be made in the towns
and villages on the route.
The points Mr. Taft VIII be asked to

will leave here September 3 or Septem-
beT 3 for tho big tour II ne decides to

bility go to Lexington, KY, on Sepgenl-

Other Plans Formulating.
Although it was finally decided this
morning that the candidate shall be
kept on the road practically all the time
between now and election day and shall
make extensive trips into the South,
East, and North, no arrangements for
the tours have been made. These will
be worked out while he is on the West
ern trip.
All the politicians who are assembled
here today are loud in their praise
Of Tafts decision to go on the road.
They believe that it is the surest way
to win votes for the Republican party.
Especially are they convinced Of this
they say, as a result OF the letters
which have been received at Republi-
can headquarters IN New York and
I Chicago, telling of the beneficial ef-
1 fects that have been produced by the
speeches already made by Taft. In
addition to the journeys mentioned, the
candidate will, in all probability, make
another tour Of Ohio.

A Travelling Mans Experience

II must tell you my experience on an
East bound o. R. & n. R. R. train from

Sam A. Garder, a well known travelling
man. II was in the smoking depart
ment with some other travelling men
when one of them went out into the
coach and came back and said, There
is a woman sick unto heath in the car
I at once got up and went out, found
her very Ill with cramp collie, her hands
and arms were drawn up SO you could
not straighten them, and with death
like look on her face. Two or three
ladies were working with her and CIV
ing her whiskey. I went to my suit
case and got my bottle Of Chamberlain s
Coic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy Il
never travel without it). ran to the
water tank, put double dose of the
medicine in the glass, poured some
water into it and stirred it with pen
Gil; then / hadSquite time to get the
ladies to let me give it to her, but l sue
ceeded. I could at once see the effect
and I worked with her, rubbing her
hands, and in twenty minutes I gave
her another dose. By this time we were
almost to LIE Grande, where I was to
leave the train. I gave the bottle to
the husband to be used in case another
dose should be needed, but by the time
the train ran into LIE Grande she was
all right, and received the thanks OF
