Arrives in New York Early This
 Mornlng-Ilis Plans.

Cincinnati, O., June 2i.-Secretary of War William H. Taft tonight Is speeding toward New York on the Pennsylvania flyer, having left Gin cinnatl this afternoon at 310 o'clock accompanied by James T. Williams, jr., of his political staff. He expects to reach New York tomorrow morn ing at 9.30, en route to New Haven, Conn.

He will remain in Washington until after the session of the subcommittee of the republican national committee, which is to be held there on the first Of July.
 Only tentative plans thus far have been made by Secretary Taft for the summer months. He probably will go accompanied by Mrs. Taft, to Hot Springs, Va, for three or four weeks, beginning early in July.
 He says he would enjoy, above all else, going to Murray Bay, Canada, where for the last sixteen years he has spent his summers; but that location is out of the way and not easily ac- cessible.
 It will be necessary for him, too, to be in Cincinnati about the goth of July to receive the formal notification of his nomination for the presidency. It is his intention now to pass three or four days here about that time and then return to Hot Springs for the remainder of his summer outing.
 Plans have been practically com ploted by which, after the first of September Secretary Taft will be con I tinuously In Cincinnati.

HAYWOOD LECTURES Acquitted Miner Finds Presi- dential Candidates Are
 All Wanting. IS OUT FOR SOCIALISM Says That Party offers Only, Cure for Present Industrial Condi-
 tons.

William D. Hayward. member of the Western Federation of Miners. who was acquitted by jury of the charge of murder of Governor Steuneberg of Idaho, last fall. was given a rousing reception on his visit to this city last night. Haywood was the guest of the local unions and he delivered an ad dress on socialism and the evils which 1t is intended to correct together with the methods of the cure. Haywood was introduced by William Applegate and was received with hearty ap- plause. He said that his mission was three-fold one, first to thank the local laboring men for the help they had given to Mover, Pettibone and himself, second to remind them of the fact that Adams, another of the num- Der still remained unfreed and lastly to arouse the working people of this city if possible to the realization of tpHuitibnS huu Niidb tiifS 'hll hp iV improve them.
 He reviewed the candidates offered for president, eliminating all those of the regular parties with the de- clarations that none of the parties ex- cept the socialist offered any cure for the industrial situation. He charac- terized Taft as the father of the in- | junction which he said every laboring man should violate. He declared 1t was an unwarranted usurpaton of power and was not in the constitu- ton. Bryan he said was Just as bad as neither had any offering for the conditions which at present exist He declared that under the existing condi- tions the idle money in the United States treasury should be used to start up the factories and supply work just as $123, 1000, 900 had been used to dam up the flood Of financial depression in !

 President Hadley's sermon was As follows:
 Baccnlaureatc Sermon.
 Every day and every hour we have to be making choices. Sometimes the matter to be decided Is one like the choice of a profession, which will af- feet our whole future life, and which demands months of careful thought Sometimes 1t is mere trivial choice of what we shall eat or drink. what we shall say or do for our amusement, which Is settled upon the instant and then forgotten.
 And yet the difference between tho important and unimportant choices Is not so great as 1t seems. We can never tell which decision is funda- mental and which Is trivial. The choice which has been prepared by the thought of months may be upset by the events of single day. The choice which was but the affair of a moment may prove to have conse- quences unforeseen and immeasurable which last through our while life. It is the way in which a man decides It, tie things, no less than great ones, that indicates what he is really made of Every thinking man must soon-

A PLEA FOR THE, PEN.
Regret at Typewritcr's Eucroach-
mcnt Handwriting.

Regret at Typewritcr's Eucroaeh-
mcnt ON Handwriting.
1t Is TO be regretted that the hand
writing OF literary workers and even
learned professors and physicians is so
often illegible ana provokes adverse
criticism. The typewriter is a boon to
such writer's and ought TO be adopted
for the safety OF the public and press,
but it cannot superscde the pen, which
is purely individual and the most nat
ural exponent OF the writer. Individu-
ality in writing is the strongest plea
In its favor and for its continuance
The typewrlttcn letter may be pleasing
to the eye in its regular, mechanical
and iegible outlines. but is valueless
without the pen and ink autograph
the Endorsement OF the writer-whlch
alone commands Its recognition and
appreciation.
Many philosophers and authors, from
Shakespeare TO the present day, have
found the handwriting q reflection of
temperament. Nathaniel Hawthorne
makes interesting deductions from q
study OF the autographs and writings
or noted characters and states, "There
are said to be temperaments endowed
with sympathles so exquisite that by
merely handling an autograph they can
detect the writer's character with un-
erring accuracy"
Mrs. Browning recognized intultiyely
nm analogy between the handwriting
and temperament us seen in the lines
from aurora Leigh"
II know your writing, Romney, rec
ognizing the open hearted A, the liberal
sweep of the c."
Authors are autographng their works,
giving the most distinctive and refiec-
i've touch OF personality to those en-
dowed with sympathies so exquisite
or logical deduction so keen as to catch
a glimpse Of the writer's character and
temperament from the Typographical
outlines.
The plain type, however readable and
legible. cannot command the high COM
mercial value of the handwriting Of
persons of note, which conveys more
than the written sentence In the pecui-
iarity of its formation.
Contrast the rapidly formed and
somewhat iilegible letters of the impul-
sive hand vibrating with the pulse and
thought of the writer with the stereo-
typed and mechanical letters OF the ma
chine manipulated by whom-the COR

Collecting a Bell,

The souvenir hunters are making il
likely that when Wiscasset's famous
old Paul Revere bell is recast it will
weigh less than before it was broken
in pieces by its fall from the steeple
OF the burning church in December
The bell was purchased in 1900 and Is
one of the three original bells of this
make owned in New England. The
other two are owned in Bingham and
Portsmouth. N. II. The Wiscasset bel
was removed from the old church in
1910 and placed on the new church
dedicated that year. During the re
cent fire the bell was broken when II
fell to the ground and was scattered
about In the ruins. The society intends
to nave 1t recast, and, although il will
be impossible to gather the whole OF
the metal, it is expected enough will
be recovered TO make a good sized bell
The bell weighed 900 pounds, and ur
to the present time all but 200 pounds
have been recovered. Many people
have secured small pieces as souvenirs
so that the new bell will not be as
heavy as the acknowledgements Jour
nal.

sardou on the s,irit Lama,

Sardou asserts that he is a highly
sensitive and effective spiritualist me-
dunn, that he has had frequent inter-
views with spirits of friends who are
dead and that he has received mes
sages, spirits guiding his hand to write
them as they were communicated to
him. He has collection of many
drawings he has made, the spirits guild
ing his pencil-strange faces of angels,
OF demons, human figures toiling up
dark, steep hills. while ahead of them
supernatural beings light the way or
see obstacles in the path. The play
wright says he cannot, and he does not
attempt, to explain these visitations,
this guidance But he is convinced of
the objective reality OF the spirit world
and of its desire and power to enter
into relations with humanity. He de-
ci2res the next generation will be no
less scientific, but it will be animated
by n science that will recognize the
reality OF spirit manifestations and to
base on them indisputable relations be-
tween this and the world Of the dead

The City of eooo psoodas.

An interesting discovery has been
made by the archaeological department
OF India In an old pagoda at Pagan,
which has been called the city Of the
5000 pagodas and the religious capital
OF Burma. Excavations at Petleak-
paya, or ''the Pagoda OF the Curling
Leaf" have brought to light an arched
corridor or ambulatory, forming part
of an older building than the visible
portion or the pagoda, which clearly
dates from the reign Of Anawrata in
the eleventh century. This corridor is
decorated with double rows Of square
terra Gotta reliefs on the exterior and
Interior sides OF the walls, presenting
the transmutations OF Gotama before
he became Buddha. The number of
these changes is supposed by tradition
TO be 500. The figures are vigorously
modelled" to use the words of the off,
cial narrative, land almost as sharp
and as clear now as when they left the
kiln" The inscriptions are in the Pail
character and are easily decipherable.
