INTERESTING VIOLIN
Acquired by Member of Con-
cert Company That
Played Here.
1T IS SAID TO BE GENUINE.

1t will be a matter of interest to
music lovers to learn that a genuine
Guernarius del Gesu violin has been
acquired by an American violinist,
Miss Verna Page, and that it will be
heard this coming season in concerts
during the tour of The Ernest Gamble
Concert Party, which has been heard
here
One Of the rarest and most costly
violins in the world has come into
Miss Pages possession. 1t was made
in Cremona, Italy, the home of the
master makers of violins during the
golden age of violin making in the
18th and 18th centuries which included
such illustrious names as Amati,
Stradivarii, Guarnarii, and Guadag
inii.
Kubelik and Fritz Kreisler have
played this violin and were delighted
with its wonderful resonance, smooth
oily tone and telling qualities. Ysaye
also used it in seven concerts and all
the great artists who have played it,
pronounce it one of the rarest exam
pies Of Joseph Guarnarius' third and
most successful period of violin max
ing.

Claim Made Two Cent Fare in
Illinois Cut Down Earnings
Of Leading Roads.
COMPLAINT HAS BEEN MADE
PUBLIC BENEFITED GREATER
RAILROAD TAXATION RESULT
ING FROM LEGISLATION MAT
TER OF COMMENT.

The 2-cent-a-mile law in Illinois
worked out badly for at least one rail
road, though it stimulated travel en-
ormously, the increase shown by the
Chicago & Alton for 1907 being IL per
cent, 366,766 more passengers carried.
The railroads of course. opposed the
law vigorously, but vainly, declaring
it would prove a hardship to them,
but the answer generally was : your
traffic will increase so much that you
will make money by the reduction
Theory was disproved by fact, 1t
seems. The figures compiled by the
Alton in getting at the result of the
"2-cent-law" are interesting; the aver
age passenger rate per mile for local
and through business was reduced
from $.0206 to $.0185, which explained
a reduction of $2O8,7S3 in the net earn
ings. 1t is the opinion of railway Of
ficials that 2-cent fares have come to
stay and they hope now to increase
travel and decrease expenses, so that
passenger business will become a pro-
fitable branch Of railroading, instead
of a niece ssary evil" In the more
sparsely settled states, even, it has
been proposed that passenger fares be
reduced, but that was during the heat
Of the argument concerning the auth
ority properly delegated to the Inter
state commerce commission in the
matter of rates, which resulted in the
Hepburn bill. The effect of that bill
it is now known, was more beneficial
, to the railroads than to the shippers
as passes and rebates were effectual
ly stopped. This is peculiarly inter
esting, in view of the uproad made by
the railroads concerning that BILL and
the dire predictions their executives
made. The predictions served to
scare investors and bring about condi

than they said the law would be. One
effect has been a general and liberal

BANK INSPECTOR
WAS INTOXICATED
Charge Made by Officials of
Cosmopolitan National
Bank of Pittsburg.
NO DENIAL is OFFERED.
INSPECTOR HAS EXCELLENT
RECORD BUT EVIDENCE PRE-.
SCENTED SEEMS TO BE AGAINST
HIM IN ALL WAYS.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 5.-With the
closing of the Cosmopolitan National
Bank, there followed serious charges
against Bank Examiner John B. Cum
ningham, who made an examination of
the bank with almost so per cent of
its capital reserve intact and the bank
in better condition than it was when
the last report was accepted by the
comptroller of currency. The bank
was closed by order of the comptroller
of currency.
1t Is charged by e. A. Kitzmiller,
vice president and Chas. A. Muhlbron-
ner, director, that examiner Cum
ningham was intoxicated when he
closed the bank and did not know what
he was doing. Mr.. Kitzmiller said he
will make an affidavit and prove it by
witnesses, that Cunningham was under
the influence of liquor when he enter
ed the bank and posted the notice. The
officials also claim that the bank is
perfectly solvent, which will be prov
en-.
Robert Lyons was appointed receiver
and. took charge. He was joined by
F. F. Oldham, attorney for the comp
troller of currency. Cunningham
has an excellent record having un-
ear,hed the Irregularities at the Enter
prise National Bank and at The Farm
ers' and Drovers' National Bank,
Waynesburg, Pa.
President Kitzmiller, in the absence
of John McClurg, the president said:
Il can only account for the closing of
the bank by the fact that Cunning
ham was drunk, and has been drunk
for some time. His condition is
known to everyone. 1t is common
talk that only few nights ago he fell
down the steps of the DuQuesne club
while drunk, and every time he visited
the bank he was under the influence
of liquor. Cunningham had every ap-
pearance of being under the influence
of liquor Mr.. Kitzmiller's remarks
were confirmed by others.

MIGRATION HAS
TAKEN BIG SLUMP
Falling Off of Fifty Per Cent
In Year.

Washington, Sept. 5.-There was a
drop of nearly so per cent. in the i'm
migration to this country during the
twelve months just ended, as com.
pared with the record breaking figures
for the preceding year. In the IL
months ending August 1, the aliens en-
tering the United States numbered
7S2,970. Last year the total immigra
ton was 1,2S5,34S, the greatest in the
history of the country. In 1906 it was
100000 and in 1905 it was 1,O26, 499
The drop to less than 100000 for the
past II months is significant and has
caught the eye of the authorities OF
this government and of foreign govern
mentS as well.

MORE EXHIBITS
THAN EVER KNOWN
indiana State Fair Will Sur
pass All Previous Attempts
In Many Departments.
PROGRAM is HIGH CLASS.
INDICATIONS ARE FOR LARGEST
CROWDS OF HORTICULTURAL
IsTs AND GENERAL PUBLIC IN
HISTORY.

Indianapolis, Sept. 5.-Indications
are now that there will be more exhib-
its in all lines at the Indiana State
fair, this year, the week Of September
Tth, than in any other year since state
fairs have been given in Indiana. En-
tries will not close positively until Au-
gust 9th, but even now the secretary
of the board has 112 entries which 1t
is puzzling him to take care of. All
except the 112 received have been
placed nicely on the fair ground plat.
The 112 and others which come later
will be taken care of, but the task of
placing them is perplexing one.
Mr.. Downing, secretary of the board
is unable to account for this great in
crease this year. He believes, how
ever, that the leaders among the pro-
ducers of the different kinds of pro-
ducts are finding that the Indiana
State Fair is good place to advertise.
Then, too, vast improvements at the
Fair Ground and the high-class pro-
grams which have been provided by
the State Fair Board give promise of a
is believed exhibitors are taking this
into consideration.
81 am really surprised at the great
number Of persons who are planning to
have exhibits at the fair" said Mr..
Downing. II have just returned from
the fair ground, where / made care
full survey and plated every foot Of
available space for exhibits. l hope
by the greatest effort to be able 70 take
care of all the entries, but l don't
know whether l will be able to do ii
IL they continue to come as they are
coming now. 1t may become necessa-
ry to lease additional ground"
Mr.. Downing says that another no.
ticeable feature is the great number OF
new names among the list of those
who have made entries so far. Elk
hibitors of whom the state fair board
has never heard before will have exhib
its at the fair this year. In addition
to the many new exhibitors, nearly all
of the old ones will return, so that the
total number of exhibits will be far in
excess of that of previous years.
Members of the State Board of Agri.
culture. however. are well pleased tc
see all entries coming in promptly. En-
tries will positively close August 9th
so that those who propose to send ex
hibits to the fair have only about ter
days in which to complete their ar.
rangements. In the past there have
been many disappointments because
those who desired to make exhibits die
not send in their entries on time and
therefore were left out of it. Mem
bers of the state board wish to i'm
press on everyone the fact that entries
will positively close this year on Au
gust 9th, and members of the board
hope that those who wish to send ex
hibits will not be derelict as has some.
times been the case in years past.

MINISTERS WILL
DECIDE QUESTION
Take Up Matter of Chautau-
qua Extension at Meeting
Tomorrow Morning.
COMMITTEE TO REPORT.
SUBJECT OF CHANGE OF LoCA.
TON ALSO SCHEDULED FOR
= CROSS FIRE EXAMINATION BY
GENERAL BODY.

The Richmond Ministerial associa-
ton will hold it's business meeting at
the st. Pauls Episcopal Parish house
Monday at which time the question of
continuing the time of the Chautau-
qua to two weeks instead of ten days
will be considered. The special COM
mittee consisting of the Rev. r. J.
Wade, Revs. E. G. Howard, Conrad
Huber, H. r. Smith and S. r. Lyons,
will hold a meeting preceding the gen.
eral meeting and formulate report
to be read to the ministerial associa-
ton on the question. 1t is believed
by the association that the Chautau-
qua should be held two weeks instead
of ten days. The plan of having the
Epworth League of this district unite
with the Connersville and Eaton, O.,
leagues and supervise the selection
of the morning programs for one week
and the teachers institute do the
same the other week. The new or
ganization would be called a religious
institute. 1t would not be denomina-
tional in the selection of a program,
but would be in the management, as
the Epworth league is social body
of the Methodist church.
This organization would also be per-
mitted to have an afternoon and an
evening speaker as the teachers in
stitute now has during the 10 day
program. AS to what the association
will do in regard to the Hawkins
Springs location proposition is not
known but it is thought that the ma
jority of the ministers favor this place
for the Chautauqua- The association
will thresh out the question and will
appoint committee to make report
to the board of directors of the Chau-
tauqua.
The election of officers will take
place at this meeting and number of
other important matters will be decid-
ed on.
