THEY'RE OFF
At SARATOGA
DESPITE ANTI-BETTlNG LAWS
INDICATIONS POINT TO GOOD
RACE MEET.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, July
29.-Although the anti-gambling law
will serve to keep away many of the
regular race track habitues, it is al
ready evident that the annual racing
meet, to open tomorrow on the beauti-
full Sara toga course, will be a success
from a sporting standpoint. The no
tells are rapidly filing up with visitors
and their interest in the races appears
to be little less than in past years,
when betting was allowed. The fear
that the Agnew- Hart bill would kill
racing at Saratoga may not be full
filled after all.
In line with the other racing associa
tons, Saratoga has curtailed many Of
its stakes; in fact, $1,000 less will be
distributed to the horsemen this year
than in former seasons.
Even with the pruning, $4,000 alone
will be given to the stake winners, and
at least $4,000 daily to the other events.
This will give the owners an oppor-
tunity to make up for the loss they
suffered at the Brighton meeting.
Sojournng at the Spa are the clever
strings belonging to James r. Keene,
Harry P. Whitney, John E. Madden
and many others. When the bugle calls
the first field out tomorrow the star
tkoroughbreds will be thoroughly ac-
climated to the strong waters and cool
breezes of the pleasure resort, and
ready to perform at their best.
The richest event to be decided will
be the Hopeful Stakes for 2-year- olds
at six furlongs, which is worth over
$15, 900 to the winner. John E. Madden
is aiming to capture this event with
either of his clever pair, Sir Martin
or Fayette. Fighting this formidable

most a century ago and for many years
was the largest bell in the city and
the only bell of any size 1t was used
not only by the Unitarians, but by
other denominations, and pealed out
equally to call the people to holy day
celebrations or church festivals or to
warn the city of fire.
Men famous in the history of the
country have been members of this

About the time he first entered the
pulpit as Baptist preacher he began
reading Darwin and Huxley and read
justed his religious views to conform
with the more advanced teachings of
science Then he turned to the Unitari-
an church.
So far as All Souls is concerned it
is a practical church. Its members be-
lieve in doing practical things. It's
charities are many. 1t maintains for
one thing, annually, visiting nurse
paying all the expenses, and is the
only church of any denomination In
Washington which does this. It's men,
bership embraces some of the most
progressive citizens of Washington,
people Of culture and refinement. On
viously Methodists, Baptists, Catho-
lies, Presbyterians-in fact all creeds
are represented. AS Dr. Pierce says,
the Unitarian church does not ask a
man his religion any more than 1T
asks his politics. It is a church of
freedom.

NON VALE.

After two years service rendered the
city Mayor George E. Kellough retires
from the mayors chair with the salts
faction that he has been able to wipe
out much of the bitterness which
naked his advent into that Office.
MIR. Kellough's administration may
have not been as uniformly successful
as his partisans had declared it would
be-probably no administration could
have reached that height-but neither
has it been fraught with the disaster
his opponents asserted it would be.
During the two years he has been
in office, Mayor Kellough has devoted
a great deal Of his time to the affairs
Of the municipality. He has not shirked
any task and has been conscientious,
Woodworking and faithful in the per-
Torrance of his duties. The charter
under which the government of this
city Is administered PROVIDES IOr d
wide distribution of power, and I'M

cases merely a figure head. Despite

Well, the big speech has been de-
livered and can tell you that 1 am
glad to have it done with L. is
now in the hands of the people and ]
note that already the republican pa
pers. especially my brother Charley's
paper. are saying that it was the
greatest speech of acceptance ever
made by any candidate. I hope that
you won't get jealous about that, Ted
dy, for Hitchcock tells me that the
republican papers always say that
about the speeches of their candidate,
so you see it really doesn't mean any
thing to us. although some newspaper
readers may be influenced by that Of
course the democratic and anarchstic
papers are beginning to attack my
logic, but we oon't care about logic
either, do We Teddy? It's votes tina,
we are after.
Hitchcock tells me that we will have
to shut UP on this fool negro question.
He says that there are more white
democrats than there are white repub-
licans and that if it hadn't been for
the negro vote most all of the republic
can candidates for president would
have been defeated. If we can Just
keep the matter dark and shut off
Foraker until after election. he thinks
that We. will still be able to land the
regro vote. Hitchcock just explained
that instead of voting directly for me
or Bryan the voters must vote for cleo
tors and that in this way most of the
negroes will not know that they are
voting for me and thereby endorsing
that horrible Brownsville affair He
says that as near as he can find out,
most of the negroes think that there
are still voting for Abraham Lincoln
when they vote for the republican cleo
tors. We had better let them continue
to think so, hadn't We?
1t is the same with a lot of foreign
ers, too. Hitchcock says. You see lot
OF dagoes and Swedes come over here
and they are dissatisfied with the mon
arches of Europe-although from the
way Car Nicholas and Emperor Will

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest

formances at the usual hours, and once
more presenting a grand street spect-

There is no question as to the supe-

generations it has set the pace that no
other show has been able to follow.
There is no place on earth where it is

TAFT IS NOT
A CHRISTIAN
SAY THOUSANDS, WHO DECLARE
THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR
UNITARIAN CANDIDATE.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-"Unitari-
ans teach today what the deists, such
as Tom Paine taught a century ago.
Unitarians are no more Christians than
are agnOstics. Thousands of people
throughout the country understand
this and they will no more vote for
Judge Taft, who is an Unitarian, than
they would have voted for Colonel
IngerSOll."
This statement, privately made by
the rector of one of Washngton's
leading churches, reflects sentiments
that are now being heard on every side
The religion of Judge Taft promises
to become campaign issue of con-
siderable magnitude. The Rev. U. G. B.
Pierce, pastor of the Unitarian church
of which Judge Taft is a member has
received hundreds of letters inquiring
about the candidates views on spirit
ual matters. Judge Taft, too, daily re-
ceives many communications of this
character, and some of them are of an
abusive character.
Some of Mr. Tafts friends are in
clined to be alarmed by these attacks,
which are constantly becoming more
frequent. Reports have been received
here that evangelists in various Sec
tions Of the country have denounced
Taft for his religious views and urged
their hearers not to vote for him. A
majority of Washington politicians,
however, refuse to consider these at
tacks seriously. They point out that
Jefferson, Adams, Lincoln and Grant
were all unorthodox in their religious
views, but that attempts to defeat
them on those grounds failed misera-
bly,.

which Mr.. Taft is a member, is an at

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
Of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have a rumblng sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
.stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrhs which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (causey by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

ton of that interest by the conventions
recently held, it is practically assured
that there will never be another lapse;
but on the contrary, that the sentiment
will enhance in fervor until compre-
hensive national scheme is not only
devised, but In process Of execution.
Every agency that contributes to the
promotion of public discussion on
matters Of Importance to the nation

RIVERS AND WATERWAYS.

There is at least one national issue
ABOUT which there is no partisan diff
ference of opinion. The bureau OF
publicity of the national rivers and

to that fact, and with some emphasis

In a recent publication, the bureau
takes up the historical develop

provement sentiment as it has been
made manifest in the platform declara-
tons of the leading political parties
since 1882. The matter is interesting
reading, as it discloses how tenacious
~ this sentiment has chung to popu-
lous favor; though the constructive
craftsmanship of all these years has
been unable to grasp its broader i'm
port and to grapple with it's practical
phases
1t is rather a curious story, too. that
the bureau bulletin tells. It shows that
while the sentiment first cropped up
In 1882, its advocacy was fitful and in
consequential for a period of 20 years;
that with the birth of the republican
party it revived, to suffer another
slump of a number of years and finally.

That there is less drunkenness and

That the people are more hospita-

Four men wandered into the House

seats in the rear of the chamber. and
