TRAINS ARE FILLED BY
THE HOST OF KNIGHTS

The outgoing passenger trains
were crowded yesterday with the
colored Pythians leaving Americas,
the convention having closed the
session here. One train was even
crowded beyond its capacity, several
of the returning delegates being I'M
able to board it. The convention

cial session, and the conduct of the
thousands of visitors here reflected
great credit upon them.

then, according to the statements of
some of these who did not go to the
final stages of the negotiations, Cooke
began to make personal visits, with
which he was occupied most of May
and June. In June the party was
rounded up and finally started on the
18th, arriving at Baker City about a
week later en- route to the scene of

DAYS RECORD IN
 COUNTY COURTS


 Practically the entire time of every die vision of the Jefferson county courts was consumed yesterday before the dinner hour in the organization of the juries for the week. During the afternoon, how ever all divisions except two got down to business. There was no session of the chancery court owing to the fact that Chancellor Benners is in Walker county holding court, and in Judge Coleman's d. vision of the circuit court everything was continued with the exception of two or three cases in which judgments were ren- dered by default.
 In the first division of the criminal court, Judge Dan. A.. Greene presiding, non-capital felonies are on trial this week. The case of Robert Hood, charged with grand larceny which went to the jury just before dinner yesterday resulted in verdict of guilty. R. L.. Waddell entered a plea of guilty in three cases of grand larceny from box cars and the case of H. N. Dwyer indicted with Waddell, was passed until December IS. Pleas of guilty were entered by Henry Johnson, Walter Mitchell and Ed Gunnells.
 In the second division of the criminal court, Judge s. l.. Weaver presiding, the formerly much -tall1ed-of Mead" cases were called for trial yesterday morning,

The Silly Season in Clothes.

There is no denying it. winter and winter things are unpopular. This is proven by the way people hang back and refuse to get into cool weather clothes. To be sure the midday October sun Is as warm as can be, but the evenings are cool and the mornings almost chilly. As a matter of fact we work Christian Science in the weather right up to Thanksgiving" and make ourselves be- lieve what we wish to, and that infiu- ences our dress.
 "A Messenger From Mars" to have glanced down on the fashionable thoroughfares any day out the past 10, would have been puzzled to know just what name to give to this month, judg- ing from the clothing.
 There were felt hats
 And straw hats.
 Worsted coats
 And serge coats
 And overcoats.
 Tennis shoes,
 And shoes to skate in,
 Shirtwaists
 And drop-stitched hose,
 Plush jackets
 And fall tailor-mades,
 Slippers and boots,
 Linens and furs
 And goodness only knows what else. Verify, 1t is the silly season in clothes
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-10-20

is the one that advises exercise for the body as a means of resting the mind. He has pointed out to many women the foolishness of such prac- tice. He says the mind cannot rest when the body is tired.
 He says that the practice of taking a long walk at fast trot when one has done a hard days work is en- tirely the wrong thing to do In his words, "It adds one fatigue to an other" He does not believe in strenu- ous exercise for mentally overworked people.
 Another belief of his will cause more excitement and discussion than any other. "Women,' he says, "who do not indulge in physical exercise live longer than men," He does not think women need exercise. This is daring statement to make in the middle of a generation that is abso- lutely given over to the exercise fad
 He is not alone in this belief how ever, for a number of women who have gone to rack and ruin through physical exercise agree with his the ory.
 One of the best known tennis play CTS among women says she believes that violent tennis shortens life, weakens the heart and is of no help in any way.
 Too many women have become use- less burdens through overexercising for this statement to be entirely de- nied.
