Taft Going to Rest. =

Cincinnati, Nov. 4.r"Please say
that am perfectly healthy but tired, !"
was the message Judge Taft wished
uttered for him tonight. II am 60
ing away for complete rest for two
weeks said Judge Taft tonight.
mo l am not going to hold political
conferences, neither am I going to
consider cabinet construction nor
make any political appointments

as near absolute rest and quiet as /
can make it.
Taft leaves for Hot Springs, ,Vir-
ginia, Friday. After Hot Springs the
Taft family is considering a number
of places. for residence during the
months that will intervene before
his inauguration. Among these is
Asheville, N. c., which has some OBJ

lanta, Ca, consideration Of which is
now being brought forward. Three
thousand and more telegrams of con-
gratulations have been delivered to
Judge Taft to-day. Judge Taft early
this morning gave hearty expression
to the qualification he felt in the
election. 1

American Tobacco Co. q Trust.

New York, November 7.-The con-
tention of the government that the
American Tobacco Company is a
trust operating in restraint of trade
and competition involving the anti
trust law, was sustained to-day in a
decision handed down by Judge La
combe, Coke and Meyers in the United
States Circuit court here. Judge
Ward handed down a dissenting opin-
ion.
Besides asking for an injunction
dissolving the tobacco company on
the ground that is is operating in re-
straint of trade, the government ask
ed the court to appoint receiver to
wind up the affairs of allied corpora
tions.
While finding there is illegal COM
bination as charged in the opinion
the judges say an Injunction should
be issued against all defendants ex-
cept the United Cigar Stores Com
pany and the R. P. Richardson, Jr.,
Company.
Injunctions are, however, stayed,
pending an appeal to the United
States supreme court. The petition
asking for the appointment of re-
ceiver to take charge of companies
included in the combine was refus-
ed as being impracticable and wholly
unnecessary. 49,

Bryan Gives Statement.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. Awhile
not caring to discuss at this time the
political effect of the Democratic vic
tory in his home state, or to analyze
the causes, William ). Bryan, this af-
ternoon in an informal talk to a num-
Der of his friends, expressed his
pleasure at the result in Nebraska
and the satisfaction it afforded him
to learn Of the election of so many
of his political and personal friends.
Mr.. Bryan said: II am highly
gratified over the results in this state.
The national defeat has not been such
a disappointment when have had so
many things to console us. 1 hope
1 have convinced my friends that
running for Office has only been in
cident to my work. My heart has
never been set on holding Office, but
I wanted to do certain work and 1t
looks as though the presidency might
offer an opportunity to do that work.
I am sure that in private life can
have a chance, to do something. One
is not required to hold Office to do
big things. One Is simply required
to do those things within his reach
and that much is in reach of us all.
I still hope ITO be Of influence In
bringing about the needed reforms. ="

E. Moore, who claims to be from Spar

Monday on the charge Of attempting
to pass counterfeit money on color
ed restaurant keeper. the negro
soon notified the officers and after
some clever work on their part he
was beguiled into giving them change
for a dollar. The money proved to
be counterfeit and he was arrested
and searched on the spot. The Of
Fl ers found on his person about ten
pieces of the false coin.. He has been
in the city prison since his arrest and
to-day was turned over to. the govern
ment authorities. He was sent to
the county Jail to await his hearing
which will take place Friday morn
ing before United States Commission
er Mccall. It is believed that many
more are implicated in the affair and
secret service men are at work to find
them. That Moore has wife in

it had ben their work instead of the
Masters. Another prominent lay
man was former Senator S. G. May

were Drs. E. C. Smith and F. M. Will

are both given to the reinements OF
that modern chair of torture, the

handled in a mastery manner the
cornet and violin respectively. Some

might have done them justice: be-

Night Rider by Compulsion.

Camp Memo, Tenn, November 6.
"A party of hine alleged night riders
were taken to Union CityEoday under
charge of Capt. Cappell 0f Memphis.
Col. Tatom's instructions to Capt.
Cappell were: "Get them there, dead
or alive"
A feature of interest was discover
ed to-day when John Cochran stated
that he was night rider by compul-
sion. It is generally admitted that
number were simply forced to ride
with the outlaw bands or suffer pun
ishment at their hands. Frank James,
one of the prisoners at Camp Memo,
said to-day that he is distant rela-
tive of Frank James, the famous out

Small Majority in Georgia.

Macon, Ca, November 4.-The
Georgia Republican congressional
committee gave out the following:
Indications now point to Bryan
majority of 5000 or less. State gave
Parker $1,000 in 1904. We claim
greatest victory of campaign, as fight
was made without outside aid of
money or speakers and with the ne
gro not voting. Had the registered
negro vote been cast the State would
have given Taft a majority over all.
It was white mans fight and result
makes. Georgia battle-ground in 1912.

desire the change.
The increasing impetus placed on
missions in the past two decaoes ID
obliterating the former conception or
the function of an association. Then
It was a meeting for counsel, for re-
ceiyfng letters and reports from the
churches telling Of their spiritual tri-
umphs and defeats during the past
wear. The associational sermons OF
those days were frequent and some
times marked by doctrinal acuteness
or great converting power. The mod
ern tendency is to make an assocla-
ton something on the order OF mis-
sionary rally or institute, while the
sermons mark the official starting
and finishing points of it's Wcrk.
Doubtless the reading of letters as
practiced in some quarters has partly
contributed to this end, but 1t ls an
unhealthy symptom to be so Jealous
for the triumph of the kingdom else
where that we become Indifferent to
hear of it's progress at home.
The attendance Of the pastors or
churches in the body was very small,
and as contrasts are odious 1t Will
not do to mention the names of those
who came up missing. But those
who were present did yeoman's SER
vice toward making the meeting a
success. 1t was delight to see the
interest of the laymen. The finance

A Mstaphor With a History.

To know a hawk from a hernshaw"
is a metaphor with a curious history.
1t Is comparison drawn from fal-
conry. "Hernshaw' Is corruption
Of "heronshaw," or young heron, bird
which was a common prey Of the fall
cons. To know a hawk from a hern-
shaw is therefore TO be able to dis
t.nguish the falcon from its prey. A
further colloquial corruption crept into
the phrase-"to know a hawk from a
handsaw," a form used by Hamlet In
one place. Possibly the distinction be-
tween q hawk and hernshaw was
found not to be strong enough for the
purposes Of the proverb.-Manchester
