NOT GUILTY OF LEsE MAJESTY.
Bishop Moore Dismisses Charges
Against Chancellor Day.

New York.-The charges of libeling
President Roosevelt preferred against
Chancellor Day of Syracuse university
by Rev. George A, Cooke Of Brandon,
Vermont, were ruled out Of court by
Bishop David II. Moore at the opening
Of the 109th session of the New York
Methodist Episcopal conference We'd
nesday.
Bishop Moore in dismissing the
charges said he regarded the COM
plant against Chancellor Day as di-
rect attack upon free speech and free
press. The decision was greeted with
cheers and long continued applause.
The charges against Chancellor Day
contained five counts and were to the
effect that he had DETAINED President
Roosevelt in some of his public utter
ances. DR.. Day made no effort to an
swer the charges.
In his address announcing the de-
cision to throw out the charges of Mr..
Cooke, Bishop Moore said that the
same charges might just as well be
brought against some member of the
United States Senate as against DR..
Day. At the conclusion of his address
when he said:
Shall the character Of James r.
Day be passed." the hand of everyone
OF the several hundred delegates in the
big hall shot up and another round of
applause filled the auditorium.
Charges of defamation of character.
hypocrisy and intimidation against
Prof. B. P. Bovine of Boston university
and OF scandal and misrepresentation
against Rev. DR.. James NJ. Buckley,
editor of the Christian Advocate, were
made by Rev. George A. Cooke of the
Troy conference at the opening session
of the New York East conference of
Methodist Episcopal churches in
Brooklyn today. The charges were dis
missed by unanimous action. Charges
against the same men had been pre-
viously preferred by Rev. Mr.. Cooke,
but they were not sustained. Mr..
Cooke today asked permission to ex-
plain his attitude in the renewal of the
charges, but the right to take the floor
was denied on the ground that he had
no standing in the conference.
Rev. Cooke, whose charges against
Rev. Drs. Buckley and Bovine were
dismissed at the morning session, has
formulated new charges against DR..
Buckley to the effect that Dr. Buckley
published an unfair and false account
OF his trial before the committee on
Mr.. Cookies previous charges.

mans esteem, which remained to her
after the hot whirl of the senses had
subsidized under the cool surprise of
her look. No, the Southern girl was
no flirt She was sentimental 1t
was her sweetest charm-the drop of
dew in the heart of the rose, keeping
it fresh forever. Her sentiment was
not sickly. The girl who cherished a
dead flower her lover had given her,
would bind up his wounds on a bloody
battlefield or ride through a storm of
bullets to warn him of danger-or
cook his dinner and iron his shirts

lost his patrimony and beaten his

THE AMBASSADOR CLOTHES.

1t is ons of the freaks of the Am
erican people during the past halt
century that while it seizes upon ey-
ehy possible excuse to get itself into
uniform and to decorate itself with
badges and insignia of every sort, il
grows hysterical if it's ENJOYS at for
eign courts wear anything but frock
coats or evening dress, both of which
costumes signify to the greater part
of our countrymen putting on style
quite as much as any official cos
tune would. Our National Guard
appears in uniform; our Grand Army
parades in uniform. Secret societies
that wear uniforms enjoy an increas-
ing popularity Our Governors are
attended by stats Respondent in gold
lace. We wear Grand Army and 10y
al Legion and Christian Endeavor and
Schuetzenfest badges. But our Min
listers abroad must wear citizens
dress unless they have some authority
to wear a military uniform
There are endless jokes about the
mistaking of the American Minister
for a waiter The American people
laugh at them, but do not relax their
adherence of diplomatic uniforms.
Yet in the early days of the Repub-
lie, in days of democratic simplicity,
an official uniform for our ENJOYS was
prescribed. The public taste in this
matter changed, and about forty years
ago a journalist who was in Con-
gress, and who used to be widely
known as "Richelieu," Robinson, car
ried through Congress a bill or a
resolution prohibiting American en-
voys from appearing in anything but
plain clothes or a military uniform

New York, Nov. 5.@When Presi-

nounced that at the end of his presi-
dency he would go to Africa with his
second son, Kermit, boy still under
twenty, in quest of big game, the AM

Baron A. B. d'Altomonte, who for
nearly four years was commandant

State and later headed the six
months hunting expedition of Prince
Ellie Zurnikoff in British East Africa,

of President Roosevelt's age to
tempt the fevers and miasmas of Afri-
ca. He says it is exceedingly dan
gerous to take boy of Kermit Roose-
velt's years into the jungles.

ope? No, surely He will be forced
by his own very daring nature to
hunt following the precepts of MINI
rod, in the only grand way. with all
the trouble and all the dagners of
the great battue.
This will necessitate camping at
night in the damp plains, among high
grass, full of insects and mosquitoes,
or on the border of the muddy and
pestilent river-home of the tsetse fly
or in the tenebrous and treacherous
forest, full of miasmas and damp
ness. He will be forced to the long
wait lying in ambush for the APP
proach of the elephant; he will have
to face the torrid heat of the rocky

lion and the antelope, he will have to
cross the putrid bottom of the valleys
to watch for the rhinoceros, and with
this last one some time he will be
compelled to find the running strength
of his youth.
These are the general and parti-
cular dangers of a hunting party in
