LIBERAL ENTRIES
In EARLY PURSES
ESSENTIAL THAT THEY SHOULD
BE MADE WITHIN TIT NEXT
TWO WEEKS.

1t is essential that the owners and
breeders in this section, should make
liberal entries in the early closing
purses and colt stakes offered by the
Tennessee Fair and Racing Circuit.
There is nothing that win stimulate
the light harness horse industry more
than these annual stake events, and
the associations which show such a
liberal spirit should certainly merit
the patronage Of our home people.
The two early closing purses of
$4,000 each for PAGERS of the 2:25
class and trotters of the 2:30 class, to
close June 1, 1908, have been supple
mented by the Winchester and Column
bia associations with a $4,000 stake
for two-year-old trotters, and one of
100000, for two-year-old PAGERS. While
the money offered by the balance of
the associations, for youngsters, is
not quite the amount of the two
above yet, they will be attractive
enough to make it worth while for
our breeders in placing an entry
through the entire circuit

A commission from the Methodist
Protestant church, whose general con.

rived this morning to discuss with the
the overtures extended last
week by the Methodist Episcopal con-
ference looking to the unity of the two
denominations. DR.. T. H. Lewis, pres

DR.. Lewis said on behalf
Of his denomination that he favored
not only the union of the Methodist
Episcopal and Methodist Protestant
churches, but an organization of all

sested also that the United Brethren

ants.

Carmack Wanted to Go.

''Mr. Carmack yielded reluctantly to
our entreaties and remained in Nash
Vile to lend his presence and influ-
ence to defeat the Memphis charter
bill. He was prepared to go to Jack
son, and maintained, up to the time
of the trains departure, that he must
keep his appointment, but I assured
him that in my judgment the fight
was already won in Jackson and that
he was not so much needed there as
in Nashville to oppose the charter bill,
one section of which placed in the
hands of the commission to be ap-
pointed, the regulation of vices of
nearly every description, and which
gave to the commission the privilege
Of multiplying, in its discretion, almost

Mr. carmack was entirely ready and
anxious to go to Jackson and make a
speech in the interests of prohibition,
as he had agreed to do, and it was
against his Judgment and inclination
when he yielded to the demands made
upon him by the friends Of temper

Askew Started Temperance Fight.
The Representative Askew referred
to in Senator Carmack's telegram, and
who begged the senator to remain in
Nashville and let the Jackson appoint
ment go by, is Hon. A. H. Askew Of
this city, the man who started the
fight against the saloons in ackson,

to put them out of Jackson. He it
was who forced the election here.
He is now candidate for the state

The DR.. Thompson referred to is
DR.. William E. Thompson of Memphis,
the pastor of the Central Methodist
church, probably the most popular
preacher in the Bluff City. Senator
Carmack today also read an affidavit
from him as follows:
"The appointment of Mr.. Carmack

bur the Patterson people got around

He no doubts regrets now that he
lid not. for he would have escaped
being put in the hole the senator put
him in today Even his personal
friends regretted that Mr.. Alexander
did not save himself in time by max

Senator Reads His Telegram.
Senator Carmaek read his telegram
of March 10. 1907, sent from Nashville
to Rev. A. NJ. Hughiett, pastor of the
First Methodist church. which Of itself
was enough to convict Mr. Alexander.
That telegram was as follows:

keep me from being present with you

A short time ago a young Greek in
Salonica published a pamphlet in
which serious reflections were cast on
the Jews. The heads of the Jewish
community lost no time in making
their displeasure known to the relig-
ious heads of the Greek community 3;
and the latter, animated by friendly
sentiments that rebound to their
credit, opened an inquiry which re-
suited in the discovery of the writer
of the pamphlet, whom they severely
reprimanded. The young man, recog
nizing his offense, solicited the Chief
Rabbits pardon, which was readily
granted. This act was followed by a
cordial exchange of visits between the
Jewish and Greek communities.

HOUSES ARE OWNERLESS
SINCE LANDLORDS DEATH
Tenants Not Paying Rent for Prop
critics, but Willingly Keep Them
in Repair Until Heir
Is Found

NEW YORK, April 13.-Would you
believe that there are ownerless houses
in Greater New York? Well, there are.
There is not much chance of Nos. A,
46 and 4S South Prince street, Flushing,
being vacant any time soon, for the
six families that live there occupy
them rent free.
1t is a very remarkable case, even
though it may not last forever. +. S.
Copley of 339 Richmond street, Sta
pleton, S. l., owned the houses. He
collected his rents in December, 1906
and casually told one of the tenants
he was without a relative in the world,
since the death of his brother a month
before. He was unmarried, and ex-
pected to remain so, he said.
The same month he died. The fami-
lies expected some one to collect the
rent month after month, but no one
came. They have not had to pay a
cent for occupying the houses, which,
so far as they know, have no owner.
They have maintained the property in
excellent repair at their own expense,
and none of them is thinking of NOV
ing because he is deprived of the gen.
tie ministrationS of a landlord.
The lucky families who are enjoying
the only Ownerless houses in Greater
New York are those of Mrs. Catherine
Cantwell, Mrs. Christine Nix, Frederick
York, Louis Deitz, John Moore md the
Misses BricketS.

The Cure Is Up to

CHICAGO, April 13.-Unless factory

terially, America is threatened with

ant class of Russia, according to Pro
fessor Edward A. Ross of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Professor Ross made this assertion
in an address before public meeting
of the Illinois Federation of Women's
clubs.
After showing that one-third of the
women of the country between the
ages of Is and 25 are engaged in indus
trial occupations, Professor Ross said:
with many of them it is tempor-
ary, but do you realize that for the
few years they are at the loom or in
the shop the conditions surrounding
them are not shaped or Influenced by
anybody who has any interest in them:
1.-THE truly feminine girl, the one of
frailty and delicacy, will pass from

fields side by side with the men, the
burden of wifehood and motherhood

of such a state, is in the hands of

SAYS CONCRETE HOUSE
CAN BE BUILT FOR $1,000
Edward A. Hett Finds Way to Put
Idea of Inventor Thomas A.
Edison Into
Effect

NEW YORK, April 13.-Edward A.
Hett has found a way to put Thomas
A. Edison's idea that a concrete house
can be built for $1,000 into effect. He
maintains that an eight-room house
can be completed in all particulars for
$4,000. The "house she'll" he declares,
can be built in four days, and after
that some time will be required to put
in the finishing work, the plumbing,
the heating apparatus, etc.
Mr.. Hett is a successful inventor,
having discovered the secret of the
multi-color process, the patents OF
which he sold to the American Lltho-
graphing company for 100000. He pro-
poses to turn out a concrete house, IN
which the floors, ceiling, staircase and
porches would be a part of the struc-
ture. He calls this the monolithlc type,
and the work is accomplished by the
use of sheet steel molds made on an
interchangeable system.
In this way the forms of the houses
may be varied almost at will. He has
discovered. too. new method of re-
enforcement of the concrete which ad-
nits of light construction. Thus his
houses can be built he says. without
the ap-e earance of massiveness usually
seen in concrete buildings.

Books

The stream which flows from the
Jaws of the tireless press, once but a
trickling stream of limpid purity, has
become, in our day, turbid torrent.
OF the making of books there is no
end.
There are strong books and weak
books. But is it the strong book which,
battling with the vexing currents,
emerges triumphant? Not necessarily.
1t depends on the life-saving crew.
They hasten to the rescue and the
book Which they favor is the book
which lives. Sometimes it is very
weak book, with scarcely a spark of
original vitality in it. The crew goes
by the name of Advertising. Puck.
