A couple Of Marietta families had
prepared week before last to go to the
mountains and spend an outing, and
didn't get to go. They can draw some
consolation from what the Dublin Times
has to say on the "stay -at-homes:"
It's much worse to pull around on
dusty, hot trains, than it is to swing in
a cool hammock on a shady lawn at
home.
A woman works herself completely
down trying to get ready to leave
home of her own with vine-trellised
veranda, large, airy rooms and halls,
clean dining room, refrigerator full of
ice cold fruits and fresh dairy products,
in order that she may have the privil-
eye Of spending q few days in rickety
hacks along dusty streets, waiting at
hot depots for delayed trains while the
children cry for water, riding on cars
with windows closed to keep out the
dirty, burning cinders, and keep in the
dirty, perspiring lot 0. little precious
darlings" that are trying to climb out
of the windows, and are stepping on the
handbook and other half dozen pack
ages that are always so interesting to
the conductors arriving at crowded
hotel and paying two prices for the
privilege of packing away the whole
family in the "oniy spare" stuffy little
hot box on the third floor and sunny
side; getting a chance to eat at second
or third table, and feasting on excur-
sion dishes, that is, dishes that have
made the round trip once or twice from
the dining room to the kitchen, some
times not stopping long enough at the
stove to get warm again.
By this time they begin to look around
for another place, with about the same
result, if they move. A few days OF
this is all they can stand, and then they
turn their faces towards home, where
they land after having had gorgeous
time.

FINISHES STUDY OF DUMA

ST. PETERSBURG, June 2S.--Man-
uel w. Queson, the Filipino assembly,
man, his secretary, Mr.. Rogers, and
Mr.. Kalaw, editor of the Manila Re
nacimiento, have finished their study
of the duma and have left here for
Berlin and Paris. They also will visit
Switzerland and Egypt before return
ing home.
The Filipinos attracted much atten-
ton in the duma. They met a number
of the leaders of that body. Their trip
was undertaken at the initiative OF the
war department at Washington with
the object of broadening the outlook
of the Filipino leaders.
Senior Quezon was greatly impressed
by his observations Of the Russian
policy toward Poland and Finland, the
severity of the police regime and the
results of the policy of the first and
second dumas. He spoke of the adj
vantages of the American attitude
toward the Philippines and the neces-
sity of the Philippines going slowly in
the department of legislative auton-
omy. He sympathized with the posi-
ton of the Philippine assembly for
independence, but he feared this reso-
luton would have an unfavorable eff
feet on American opinion.

+. LINCOLN, Neb., June 2S.-The party
of Illinois Democrats travelling in
automobiles from Chicago to the
Democratic national convention at
Denver, arrived in Lincoln shortly

The party was met some miles outside

VATICAN ORGAN DISCUSSES
PAN-ANGLICAN CONGRESS

ROME, June 2S.-The Osservatore
Romano, the organ of the Vatican,
in an editorial concerning the recent
Pan-Anglican congress in London,
says:
"Religion without a legitimate hier-
archy, although calling itself Christi
anity, is a religion only for this world
as the questions discussed by the Pan
Anglican congress show. Throughout
the centuries all religions that have
arisen without the seal of the divine
personally were similar to that dis
cussed at the Pan-Anglican congress.
AL of them aimed at securing the
largest amount OF JOY in this life with
out caring for the other world"
At the end of a strong attack the
Osservatore Romano says that Catho-
lie Rome tomorrow will celebrate with
it's veneration the anniversary of the
death of ST. Peter at his tomb, which
is a miracle of art, and that this ven
GRAFTON will answer better than any
thing else the superlative poverty of
the Pan-Anglican congress.
From the attitude of the Osservatore
Romano it is supposed that Pope Plus
will deal with the recent congress held
in London in his forthcoming encycli-
cal.

didates carried todays municipal cleo
tions here by a majority of 81 votes.
The total vote cast was 582.
Throughout the day order prevailed.

American government, but no trouble
is expected to ensue. The battleships

tanned over all buildings belonging to
the United States.

morning and ended at p. m. Occa-
sionally during the day there were loud
protests from the crowd against alleged
Illegal voting. w. A. Martin and Paul

ASTRONOMERS VIEW ECLIPSE
AT WASHINGTON OBSERVATORY

WASHINGTON. June 49, The
eclipse of the sun served to attract
astronomers and spectators to the
United States naval observatory here
today, where that event was observed
with keen interest. The day could
hardly have been more favorable for
the purpose.
The first contact occurred thirty-five
minutes and twenty-eight seconds af-
ter o'clock this morning, which was
ten seconds ahead of the predicted
time while the second contact occurred
forty-nine minutes and two seconds
past noon, being twenty-three seconds
ahead of the predicted time.
The image of the sun was almost
perfect when the eclipse first occurred,
but it was not so good at the time of
the second contact, owing to clouds.
There were five scientists taking OBJ
servations with the different observa-
tory instruments, and the variations
of time among the different observers
was less than two seconds.
Prof. George H. Peters of the naval
observatory took seven photographs
with the photo-heiliograph, which
showed in addition to the moon pro-
jected upon the sun three fairly large
sun spot groups.

GEN. OBALDIA'S TICKET
GIVEN BIG MAJORITY
No Serious Disorders Attend Municipal
Elections In Panama, Although
Slight Disturbances Occur
In Outlying Districts

PANAMA, June 2S.-Balloting in the
municipal election throughout the
isthmus was concluded at o'clock this
afternoon. There were no disorders
here.
A big majority was given the ticket
supported by Gen. Obaldia, a candi-
date for the presidency of the repub-
lie in the elections that will take place
next month in Panama.
Returns from Arraijan, Tabagoo and
Chame, the only points from which
advices have been received, show that
the ticket of Obaldia also won there.
Reports from several of the provinces
say that disturbances occurred, but
they were not serioos.
Though the municipal elections today
were unimportant, Obaldia's triumph in
the capital is regarded as evidence of
his popularity, as the supporters of the
candidates favored by the government
made strenuous efforts to win.

cREEL ORDERED
TO WASHINGTON IMMEDIATELY

CITY OF MEXICO, June 2S.--Am-
bassador Enrique G. Creel has been di-
rected to proceed to Washington inn
mediately. This sudden change in the
plans of the ambassador who had re-
ceived long leave of absence from
his government with the intention of
spending a number of months in his
home state of Chihuahua, was occas-
ioned by the recent raid made on Las
Vaeas. The Mexican state department
will make strong representations to
the state department In Washington
asking the United States authorities
to aid in every way in checking the
men who attacked Las Vacas, on the
ground that the whole raid was
planned and outfitted on American
soil.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Mariscal
said that every Mexican involved In
the recent raids was subject to extra
dition as a common criminal, inaS-
much as the acts of violence com
mitted by them were not directed by
any revolutionary movement organized
on Mexican COIL
Mexico will ask that certain of the
ringleaders who may be captured on
United States soil be tried by the
courts of that nation for q violation

LOUISIANA MAY PASS
STATE SHIP SUBSIDY
object Of Grant Will Be for Steamship
Company Organized for Benefit
to Be Derived from Pam
anna Canal

NEW ORLEANS, June 2s.-The
question whether Louisiana shall
grant, what is. in effect a state ship
subsidy, will be acted upon by the as
sembly this week. The object Of the
grant will be a quasi-public steamship
company, organized to conserve to the
Mississippi valley states in general,
and to Louisiana in particular. the ad-
vantage to be derived from the Pana-
ma canal.
The assembly has been asked by a
committee of ninety-five New Orleans
business and professional men, includ-
ing some of the wealthiest men in
this state, to incorporate them under
the title of the Mississippi Valley &
Orient Steamship company.
A domestic steamship line is then
proposed as the means of securing this
commerce. The capitalization is to be
S10,000,000, with the privilege of increas-
ing to $50,000,0O0.
The subsidy feature is to consist in
exemption of the property of this cor
poration from all state taxation until
1925. To make the incorporation of the
company effective, a constitutional
amendment will be necessary.

RECEIPTS FALL Off.
EXPENSES INCREASE
TREASURY REP0RTWILL SHOW
BIG DEFICIT
Disbursements for Year Greater by
Many Millions Than for Any
Year Since 1866, War
Year included
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, June 2s.-The forth
coming report of the treasury receipts
and expenditures for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1908, will show a
marked falling off in receipts as COM
pared with the year 1907, and q large
increase in the expenditures. The ex-
cess of expenditures over receipts for
the year will approximate S60, 900. 900,
which has been exceeded only twice
since the Civil war. In 1894 there was
deficit and in 1899 there was another
of little over $S9,00O,000, and in each
of the four intervening years the re-
ceipts fell considerably below the dis
bursements.
Again in 1904 and 1905 there were
shortages of SALT, 900 and s23, 200, 900,
respectively.
The total receipts this year will show
to have been about $3.50, 900, 900, or S64-
900 less than for the fiscal year 1907.
Customs receipts will be shown to have
fallen off about $46,0O00OO from those
of 1907, while the receipts from internal
revenue sources will be short nearly
S19, 100000. Miscellaneous receipts will
show a slight gain.
The disbursements for the year will
be shown to have aggregated about
1868. 900, ,000 or $50, ,000, 900 more than for
1907, and S14. 100000 more than in any
year SlIlC0 1000, not excepting the
Spanish-American period.
Although these increased disburse-
ments are very general and are shown
in nearly every account except that
of interest on the public debt, some OF
the heaviest of them were for impor-
tant permanent improvements.
The Panama canal during the clos
ing year will have cost the govern
ment $3S,000,000. as against $4,000 900
for the year 1907, and the work this
year in connection with the reclama-
tion of the public lands will be shown
to have cost about $4,000, 900, which
is not far from last years figures.
The deficiency in the postal revenue
for the present year will probably
reach $13, 100000. as against $500, 900 for
1907, making a difference of $4,000, ,000
This Is the largest postal deficit in the
history of the government except in
1905, when 1t reached nearly SIS, ,000
The records show that there has been
a postal deficiency every year since the
establishment of the service with the
exception of twelve, when small sur
pluses were shown.
The expenses for the rural free de-
livery service this year are not ex-
pected to fall below $25, 900, 000
The decrease in the amount of re-
ceipts of $64,000O00 and the increased
expenditures of $sO,OO0 900 make a diff
ference against the treasury for the
fiscal year of $144,000, 000
