the city, and came down from the
camp which is 1t present located be-
tween Rocky Ford and Mansanola.

jail charged with bursiarizing the
saloon Of J. p. Bradish several weeks
ago. attempted to commit suicide
last Sunday evening by the razor
route He slashed one Of his wrists
with . razor. but not deep enough
to do any harm. A physician was
summoned. and while the latter was
engaged in binding mp the would-be
suicides wounds, Joe spied bottle
OF carbolic acid in the doctors kit
and Immediately grabbed it. He
waited II least ten seconds for some
one to take 1t away from him. and
his desire in this regard was Erati-
fed. as some one took the bottle
away from him before he had an
opportunity to swallow any Of its
contents. This is the second attempt
1t suicide Of which Burns has been
guilty within . period of three
months. On the first occasion he
shot himself through the fleshy part
of the armpit. but NO particular dam
age was done.

WILL
UNITE THE WORLD
Relations of the Various Ma
tons Will Be Closer, Pre-
diets Rev. Ware.
THE IDEA HAS GROWN.
1T HAS SPREAD FROM MERE FAM
lily RELATIONS TO NATIONAL
PROPORTIONS, BUT WILL CON-
TINUE TO GROW.

At the East Main Street Friends
church yesterday the Rev. Mr.. Alfred
I. Ware addressed a large congrega-
ton on THE Brotherhood of Man" In
ferred to an editorial which appeared
In the Palladium criticising his state
ment that ID. G. Reid and other CAPT
talists could not claim their vast
wealth as an honest reward for their
work. Mr.. Ware stated that the
derstand the point of the argument.
No attempt was made by Mr.. Ware to
answer the editorial.
Speaking on The Brotherhood Of
Man" he said that three great ideas,
each revolutionary in type, had been
given the world The first, he said,
was the revelation of God the second
third the discovery of the law of evo-
luton.
AS a result of these ideas, Mr.. Ware
stated, the brotherhood of man had
grown from mere family relations to
national brotherhood Ultimately he
stated, the brotherhood of man would
| ignore national boundaries and would
| be worldwide. Mr.. Ware state that
| President Roosevelt forecast world
| wide brotherhood of man when he stat
ed Every man shall have a square
deal"
In the beginning, mans brotherhood
| to man did not extend beyond his fam
| lily circle. BY gradual evolution this
| brotherhood extended until it embrac-
ed the various nationalities. Today,
Mr.. Ware stated, the American expert
ences the feeling of brothership for all
his fellow countrymen, but that this
feeling does not extend to his brother
of different nationality or race.
Some day, Mr.. Ware predicted, this
| brotherhood would unite such ex-
tremes of race as the Chinese and the
Americans.
| Owing to the threatening weather
yesterday, the meeting held by Mr..
Ware was held inside the church in
stead of on the church lawn, as is the
usual custom.

Rothermel pitched a brilliant game,

neither of which counted in scoring
their lone run. Liberty fielded in per-

hits with telling effect in the third,
when two singles. base on balls and
Hanna's long double to center scored
three runs. They added one more in
the seventh, when Duvall reached
first on an error, stole second and
scored on a muffed fly to center. An
impending storm threatened to inter.

AN EXCITING FINISH
In a Ninth Inning Rally, Cam

Cicero, Sunday.
COMMON STAR OF THE GAME
BY Mose.)

Cambridge City, Ind. July 27.-Such
a doings as there was at Capital Hill
park yesterday afternoon. In the
ninth frame, at a time when everybody
thought that Cicero had the Grays'
measure taken, the home lads turned
around and gave the visitors a good
beating that will last for little while
at least. The score was 80. 1t was
in the ninth inning and the score
stood 2-1 in the visitors favor, and
two men down and two strikes on Con-
nor, but old Tick landed to center for
two bags and Cambridge had chance.
Caldwell, next at bat, whitfield at two,
before he sent the ball to center, scor-
ing Conner. Everybody was frantic,
but 1t was only for minute, for Schat-
tell slammed a safe one over second,
which allowed Caldwell to score and
win the game. Conner was the big
noise on the mound for the local out
fit His form was never better and
he had the visitors faded in every
round. Two hits, that countd for
nothing In the end, was all that they
could do with his delivery, during the
whole nine sessions. And the big
boy should have scored a shut out
game but for a couple of misplays In
the fifth. that allowed two Of the Cic-
Gro bunch to cross the pan. This is
the second defeat for Cicero this sea-
son at the hands of the Grays. Both
contests were close and exciting for
they are fast bunch in every detail,
! but we took them just the same.
Cambridge City is certainly supply,
ing some real base ball sport with
their two teams. Their records for
this season is phenomenal. The
