look in Indiana.

Chicago, Aug. ia call for the

States to aid in Mr.. Bryan's cam
paign were issued yesterday by the
democratic national committee. Mr.
Bryan, it is said, informed Chairman
Mack and other members of the COM

impetus from the formation Of
these clubs throughout the country.
The appeals for club organiza-
tions were signed by Chairman Mack
and John w. Tomlinson, head of the
committee on club organization.
Asserting that the republican
party intends to rely on favor-seek-
ing interests, the call for club organ

All patriotic citizens, irrespective
of party. who stand for the rule of
the people and who are against the
! corrupt or undue influence of money
! in elections. and to that end favor
publicity of the larger campaign
contributions before the election as
/ demanded by the democratic plat
form, are urged to organize them
selves into campaign clubs for the
presidential election.
~,
"All organizations in sympathy
with us are asked to assist actively
in this work. The chairman of the
democratic state committee in each
state is requested to have each coun-
ty and precinct chairman organize a
campaign club in each precinct on
or before Sept. Is, and to call meet
ings Immediately for that purpose
All organizations now in existence
should meet at once and appoint
campaign committees.

The situation in Indiana, so fal

better than has been in twenty
years, ard there is absolutely har.
mony in the democratic ranks. Indi

without doubt. The reports thai
l reveive from Ohio are encourag

Unique Apartment Houses.

Two apartments houses, somewhat
different in design and arrangement
from anything hitherto built in WASH
inSton, have just been completed at
1410-1412 Euclid street northwest by
Harry Wardman, builder The nov
city Of the buildings lies in the fact
that each of the twelve apartments in
the two adjoining buildings is prac-
tic&lly separate house. Each apart
mcnt extends entirely from the front
to the rear of the building, and has no
connection with any other apartments,
except in the entrance hall at the front
of the building. There is a separate
porch for each of the first-noor apart
ments, and there are also smaller
porches in the rear
Some Of the apartments contain five
rooms and bath. while others have six
rooms and bath. The buildings are
constructed of brown iron-spot bricks.
with Indiana limestone trimmings and
slate roof. The entrance hall floors
are of tile. The steps arc of marble.

A TALENTED MUSICIAN.
Well Deserved Honor Conferred on
Prof. Cornelius Rubner.

1t is gratifying to note that the George

degree of doctor upon Cornelius Rubner,

field.
Since MIR. Runners arrival music has
held an important place in the fine arts

THE TUNNY.
Still in Demand But no Longer the
Favorite Dish Of the Caesars,

That the food of mighty sires will not
necessarily produce greatness seems es-
tablished by the case of the Mediterran-
can funny. which once fed the masters of
gulshed people What meats is this our
caesar eats?' 1t was fish, the toothsome
tunny, that gave. Julius Caesar brain
power and sufficient diregard for the
rights of others to enable him to conquer
all the Gaus. They were dull witted
race, who lived on beef. The Roman le-
gi"nH, no'rished rl;h on canned funny and
territories like a devastating fire. The
diet cranks of the period wanted tho
senate t. nominate the funny as deity
of the third class entitled to be worshpped
whenever it was not on the way to
the frying pan. Horace or somebody
wrote an ode in which he wondered what
would have happened if Jove had not
provided mortals with an ideal entree for
banqucts. If there had been more bones
in the fish, more good Romans lying on
couches or under the table after suz7ling
undlutnd Falernian, would have chokcI
to death and postcrity would have been
enriched with more fine monuments to
look at in museums.
However, the modern Italians arc still
catching and eating funny in large quar-
titles, and what have the Italians lately
produced comparable to the exploits of
Caesar except the Black Hand? The sue
cess Of their few noted SCIENTISTS GRIM
inologists and lubricous poets, like dan
| nunziO, might he attributed to i diet of
spaghetti as much as to fish. There is at
least mystery in the whole matter that
| calls for further investigation. There were
the PhO"nicians. who ate funny before
the Romans and gained ar enviaplc repu-
tation as pirates. The Vikings were al
| so accomplished in the arts of piracy,
and they lived on CLAIMS. But it would be
an unjust inference to charge the patrons
| of modern c!amhake held by the John
j. Reilly Association with the plumber
some traits of Vikings.
The funny, or, ineiegantly termed, horse
mackerel is the largest species of the
mackerel family and abounds in all warm
seas He grows to the length of ten feet
and weighs 800 pounds. He is cap
tured off the coast of Italy in great nets
| jabbed with q boathook and hauled up
for transportation to the canning factory
! Every part Of the fish is utilized and put
up in cans with a separate poetic label
denoting choice VaritieS of flesh and fowl
so that the customer imagineS that he is
eating many different delcacies and new
er complains of a niOnOtonous diet.
Among the disiecta meRbra of minor
poet. who rccited verses at banQuetS in
NerO'S golden house and was ordered to
open his viens as a penalty for a strophe
that grated on the ear of his imperial
master was found the following Stanza
inscribed on a papyrus reversible cuff:
l love to cat the tllnry,
When steaming on my plate,
And think it very funny
That he should hesitate.

To swim in wine inside.

EARLY HORSE RACING.
Sport lnauguratted at Hampstead
Plains Over 240 Years Ago.

In his address at the ST. Nicholas
Society's Easter dinner Col. William
Jay spoke of horse racing as 1.-The
pastime of our forefathers, who in
dulged in the sport on Hampstead
Plains" This reference is accurate.
In connection with it, Col. Jays re-
mark that he would be sorry to see
the passing away or decadence OF
horse racing. has significance fur
ther than the speaker intended.
The course at Hampstead Plains
was first authorized by Sir Richard
Nichols, English governor of the
province of New York, more than 240
wears ago. There was to be an annual
race between horses for a silver crown
or a pushel of wheat. And the busi-
ness was to be mot so much for the
advertisement Of youth as for encour-
aging and bettering the breed of
horses"
On the site of the original Hemp
stead racing ground Gov. Francis
Lovelace, successor to Nicolls, estab-
lished a Newmarket course which be-
came famous. Races were eventually
held twice a year. Prizes and inter-
est increased. On day in the spring
of 1850 upward of seventy chairs and
chaises Of New York people bound for
a race on the Plains were carried over
the ferry.
But-"the decadsnce of horse rae
ing" On Hampstead Plains, with all
it's sixteen-mile level, was no smoky,
communicating betting ring. No
"touts" outside the course peddled the
"sure thing" tip. No pool-room agents
lounged at the track to flash the news
to city dens of gamblers.
AS for the horses that ran, they were
no six furlong pheno1nencns, trained
to the edge of heart break, but stall
wart speedsters good for course as
long as small journey. AS late as
1928, on the Union course, at ia
maica, the grand Eclipse, nine years
old. won his two out of three four
mile heats from Sir Henry five years
younger. and that race was but sur
vival of the historic sport of the
Plains.-New York World.
