THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

AS the time for the selection of dele

already been selected, it will interest
democrats to know the states where

not be elected, if nominated, will con-
test for delegates. The following is a

manifested itself, together with the

LORD HALIFAX
FAV0RS UNION
Episcopal and Roman Church
es May Eventually Be One.

Milwaukee, Wis. Aug. 24.-The Rev.
F. H. Fairbanks. pastor of St. Pat
rick's church and counsellor of Mil
waukee arch diocese, has received a
letter from Lord Halifax. president of
the English church union, that favorS
hcurch union. Both favor reunion
through Rome and hold Rome as the
center of Christian unity The letter
from Lord Halifax which was printed
in recent issue of the Living Church
in part is as follows:
The difficulties in the way of re-
union are enormous and from hui
man view point almost insurmounta-
BILE. Of course there is no real diff
ficulty as to the questions of discipline.
The point is. can such explanations
be given of disputed matters of doc
trine as may make reunion possible
without either side being asked to as
sent to contradiction of what has been
authoritatively taught? 1t seems to
me such explanations are possible
and that many of our difficulties are
really due to misunderstanding
The letter is published in reply to
the statements of leading local Epis-
coDalians that there is no organized
movement in the Anglican church for
d union with Rome.

" ROSE A THORN
Actress Is the Cause of the
Frank J. Gould Di-
VOrce Suit.
HUSBAND TO FIGHT CASE

New York, Aug. 24.-Frank ]. Gould
it was asserted today on good auth
GRITTY, has decided that the details of
the suit for divorce brought against
him by his wife shall be heard in op-
en- court. Mr.. Gould will oppose the
appointment of a referee and will con-
test every step of the litigation.
1t is learned that the young woman
referred to as Rose" in the amended
complaint filed by Mrs. Gould, is
Rose Winter, an actress. When Mrs.
Gould filed an amended complaint in
the action she had begun against her
husband, she accused Mr.. Gould of
misconduct in this city with young
woman whose first name, she said,
was Rose" In the original COM
plant Mr.. Gould was accused of mis-
conduct with a woman in North Sgd
ney, Cape Breton in June, 1906.
A friend of Mr.. Gould said: "Mr.
Gould has not yet filed his answer to
than ten days in which to do this He
will deny the allegations of miscon-
duct made by his wife. Mr. Gould will
also insist upon his right to have the
divorce case heard in open court.
''The names and dates which Mrs.
Gould gives in her complaint and
which she seeks to connect with Mr.
Gould are too indefinite Mr.. Gould
does not think the case will ever get
before referee. He has already re-
fused an offer to have the testimony
heard behind closed doors. Mr. Gould
is of the opinion that the charges
made against him by his wife are too
uncertain and indefinite and that she
will find it impossible to obtain a de-
cree of divorce because of them"

SYMPTOMS or RAB1ES.
Signs by Which You May Know When
aDog Is Really Mad.

Hydrophobia is so rare and terrifying
that its symptoms and treatment are
little understood. AS n matter of fact
the commonly accepted expression of
madness in dog is often misleading.
The real mad dog does not shun wa
ter, as 1t is said. On the contrary.
mad dogs often rush to the water and
drink 1t eagerly. If they are able to
swallow. The mad dog does not froth
at the mouth. 1t does not run amuck.
swapping at everything in it's path
What. then, are the indica tons of the
mad dog? To those familiar with n
given dog the surest symptom and the
one which should excite closest atten-
ton is a distinct and unaccountablc
change In the dogs disposition. Il staid
dog becoming excitable and a frisky
one dull. That condition does not nee
essarily mean rabies. but it is sus-
picious. and if in addition the dog has
trouble in swallowing, as though it
seemed to have a bone in its throat.
beware! That dog should be instantly
tied up, because il it be rabies it takes
but a day or two for ferocious in
stincts to develop. The unnistakable
evidence, however. of a dog with
rabies is The sticky, whitish saliva
which covers the teeth and shows on
the drawn lips. The eyes glare and
are red; the dog has paroxysms of run
ming fury. during which 1t barks
hoarsely, which alternate with periods
of temporary exhaustion. Caspar

CRUISERS TO SOUTH SEAS.
Each Cruiser Will Tow Torpedo Boat
Destroyer.

San Francisco, Aug. 24.-Seven CRUZ
reers of the Pacific fleet under COM
mand of Admiral w. T.. Swinburne,
sailed today for Hawaii. Each cruz
ser had torpedo-boat destroyer to
tow, and for that reason the cruise is
looked upon as important.
An experimental trip of the cruis-
ers to San Diego, and return. towing
torpedo goats, was made some two
months ago, and it's success led to the
decision to attempt the present long
voyage to the South Seas.
At 10 a. m. today the cruisers passed
through the Golden Gate in single col
umn formation, the torpedo-boat de-
fstroyers. running abreast of them.
The cruisers will then return to
Honolulu, arriving October Z, and will
leave again on October II for San Di-
ego, where they are expected to arrive
October %. Two days later they will
sail to Magdalena Bay for target prac-
tice.
The cruisers, accompanied by the de-
stroyers. are due to return to San
francisco December 4.

THE MODERN HOTEL.
Product of the Times, 1t Is Made by
the Guests.

Among the silly and absurd articles
appearing from time to time concern
ing hotel and tavern keeping. one tells
us again and again how the modern
hotel is shown to disadvantage when
compared with the inns of colonial
days. In these articles the writer di
lates and expatiates on the hospitality
of the old time tavern, and the cold,
Indifferent and almost cruel treatment
received from the hands of the modern
hotel man. OF course every one knows
If he will drop sentiment for a moment
and give the subject a little sober re-
Election that the modern traveller, tour
list or hotel guest would absolutely re-
fuse the accommodations afforded by
the inn of a hundred years ago. The
only advantage of a hotel of those
times lay in the fact that the lack Of
material comforts drew from the trav-
eler a warmer fellow feeling and great
er sociability-a condition in which one
man was more his brothers keeper
than prevails today. Again, the travel
by coach and the small number thrown
together, en- route or at the hotel. made
closer acquaintanceship not only posi-
BILE, but far more desira BILE than in our
day Of big hotels and big crowds.
The modern hotel is a product Of the
times. The wants, desires, whims, fads
and, on top of all these. the imperative
demands of those who travel have
made the hotel Of today what it is from
the standpoint of food, accommoda-
tons, method of service and mana ge-
ment and from every point of view.
The hotel keeper of today responds TO
the bidding of the guests. One might
almost say of the man and woman who
travel: Here is your hotel You have
planned it. furnished ii. YOU have out
lined its methods of management, and
it is what you believe should be COM
pretended in the modern hotel"
The colonial tavern. which would not
be tolerated for moment in our days,
was adapted to its times. To speak Of
it as being superior to the modern hos
telry is to claim that the old stage
| coach, which left you more weary and
worn at the end of a hundred miles

| the end of a thousand miles, was a SUI
perior vehicle of travel to those used
