BIG BERNHARD LANDS VICTORY
Things Looked Good For Lord Grem- inger in the Ninth, But Nothing Happeaea--Team At Home
 r.dry.
BY GRANTLANp RICE.

Nashville. Aug. 12-(Special.)--In case the blighted MT. F. Thomas de- sires to have humpy McElveen Indicted for grand larceny, there isn't a jury on the map that would give him the worst of it After spinning out one of the best pitched games of ball ever pulled off in Sulphur Dell. Thomas SUI fered a nip and tuck defeat by per hitting McEiyeen to swipe home in the second round. This one play turned the tide of battle and counted the only one of the afternoon.
 II happened. thusIy: McElveen pried open the second with a double to cen ter. which Persons barely knocked him along. and Daubert drew pass Butler hit to the box for an easy out but Daubert reached second. Then rather than give Seabaugh crack at the ball in such scalp-lifting epoch. Thomas deliberately passed the back stopper to take chance at Bernard. On the second ball pitched. as the Mont gomery slabman started to wind up. Mac broke away with a long lead and before the startled Thomas could shoot him down, the Volunteer skated across the pan. on the crest of his Roman beak. He beat the ball by full two feet and Shannon muffed the quick throw to boot. All of which ended tho scoring for the afternoon.
 Roth Bernhard and Thomas were in great form, and neither could be tapped to any extent In the pfnehes The Nashville mogul scored his third sue cessive shut out and his fifth straight victory, during which he has yielded but two runs. Thomas pitched grand game of ball, and was supported in jam lip style.
 The Climbers combed Bernhard for seven swats, but were unable to lump their hits. They opened a dangerous rally in the ninth when Rockenfeld binEled and Pope sacrificed. but couldn't go the distance as Shannon tapped to the box. and Bliss, sent in for Thomas. famed.
 Before leaving. GreminEer stated that he expected to open fast pace back at home and work his way well up to fifth place within the next few days.
 The Nashville team left tonight on the longest road tour ever taken in the league. twenty nine games away on the trail. with seven double-headers in- cluded in this bulky assortment.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
BODY FOUND NEAR THE WIRE
 ROAD
It Was At First Believed To Be the Body of Tom Moore, But It Was Identified As Q
 Negro.

The body of an unknown negro. In an advanced stage of decomposition. was found yesterday morning on the Ashley plantation, nine miles from Montgomery, on the Wire Road. Cor oner Tice was informed of the discov- cry by telephone, and he immediately dispatched vehicle to bring the corpse to this city. It was dark before the vehicle returned. and it was found necessary to leave the body at the cemetery until the investigation, which will be held today.
 When the report of the discovery reached Montgomery. it was thought that the body might be that of the white convict, Tom Moore. who made daring escape from moving train near MeGehee's Switch about two weeks age. The belief was that rather than sub- init to arrest, Moore had starved to death.
 The statement of Coroner Tice that the body Is that of a negro, renders that belief untenable. There remains. however. mystery to solve, for no one in the country surrounding the locality where the body was discovered can ex- plain its existence there.
 At the investigation today it is ex- pected that information will be ob- tained which will throw light upon the mystery.

Schedule GiUes Climbers
 Fine Chance 10 MoUe Up

Beginning today the fate of the Southern League 1908 pennant may be said to be started. aud with the mag nifcent ball that they are putting up the Climbers have an excellent chance of finishing one, two, three.
 During this home series they have twelve straight games at Capitol Heights, including four with Birnling- ham (including today's douhle-header), three with Nashville and five with Ate .lanta (two. double-heeders. On Sun day, August a. they open in Memphis for twelve games In the west and on Labor Day (September 7thl the vest ern clubs open at Capitol Heights for thirteen scheduled games-several of them being doubie-h headers.
 Including these double-headers 1t makes about thirty games at home and twelve or fourteen on the road that the Climbers have to play before Mem phis winds up the season at Capitol Heights on Saturday September 19.
 Nashville starts a trip of twenty one scheduled games-nine in the east and twelve in the west On the road they have eight douhle-headers. making twenty -nilae straight games on the road and when they get back to Nashville they will be lucky to be in the first division. New Orleans haa five games at home. beginning today with break

of three on tho roaI and twelve at home, making seventeen at home. Then they finish the season with thir- teen In he east. which with three in Little Rock make sixteen scheduled and several double headers for them on the road.
 Memphis has fourteen more games at home and sixteen 2a the road before the close of the season. LittieJ Rock fourteen at home and eighteen on the road, New Oi1eans seventeen at honle and sixteeen on the. road. and Mobile eighteen at home and fifteen on the road. Atlanta has fifteen on the road and nineteen at homo, BirFning gham if teen on the road and sixteen at home. Nashville twenty-eight on the road and thirteen at home.
 Of course lots of double bills will be pulled of between now ana the final curtain, but looking at 1t from every direction the c.ilrbers have the best of it., Hard work and harder roofing will land a majority of these twelve games. Taking both ends of the do0- ble-deeker today will start things off finely and if egerya0dy pulls teSsetlier Greminger's people wi!E smother the pubs in both games. JNpt and sAfcCaf- ferty will rrobabIy work ana the chances are that on account of the heat both games vii be seven -inning affairs.

IN NEED OF HELP
MAYOR TEAGUE RECEIVES DIGNi-
 FEED APPEAL.
He fs impressed by Refined Letter he Received From Mrs. Heiiis
 Living on Mobile street.


 Bereft of the necessities of life ana incapacitated by long standing illness from earning q livelihood ter ktfseiI and children. Mrs. Hattie iIoilis whe lives at ss Mobile Street, las add-essee a pitifui appeal for aid to siasor Teague- In a letter instinct with Tsfinam.ent and indicative of great unwilling IFS -s on her part to ask for assistance sne made a frank statement of the e'fchm- stances which forced her to the asticn and requested that nelp be extenoeo Eher.
 Sick and unable to work, possttr,ng not even food for the maintenance q existence. it was evidently the nxiety which she felt for her two eniioIe n that bore most heavily Iipou the snsna of Mrs. Hollis. One If tie children worked in downtown store, she said. but the meagre salary obtained went only a short way toward the support or the family. The other child vas too young to secure paying emptoynient, and she was helpless
 Mrs Hollis stated that her oro.aer was a. mason and that her father, wno died sometime ago, also belonged to that order She had been advised. she said. to apply to the organization for assistance, but evidently knew not whom to approach on the subject.
 Touching was the faith which the letter intimated Mrs. Tollis held i1 the goodness of God and the certainty that If she would only humble herself He would provide for her. For twenty four years she has been a member of the Baptist Church. she stated.
 Mrs. Hollis referred the Mayor to her physician for. the substantiation of the facts. related in the communica- tion and he believes the case most worthy one.

Farn,nn,s secret.

St. Louis Republic.
 One of the most interesting and in1- portnnt things said by Henri Farman since he landed in the UaiitAd States gives his view of the way improve ment increases only as It's prineIples can work from mind to mind as an in- creasing number of people are interest ed. He disclosed his only. secret as voluntary use of the best others had found out. He declared that as he had combined iIs provements made by others in making his own, he did net keep his own Improvements secret from others who might use them to go on with the work. For comparison with his view. MT. Herbert T.. Wade had just published in one of the current magazines the statement that "whilc the scholar and the investigator may have once boasted of his freedom and independence. and ascribedi discoveries to unaided individual effort it requires but little thought to realizs that such conditions have passed yay." The conditions which are supposed now to supplant them are not those of the helpfulness defined by Farnan, but those made possible by the use of un- limited means. derived either from government or from foundations re- quiring immense capital from private resources. Irt the Farman view an idea with force in 1t has only to be let loose. as it were, by being made public. to pass with certainty from mind to mind until it finds lodgment which work 1t out into improved re- suits. Marconi and Edison became possible in this way. Steam engine. telegraph. telephone. electric printing presses, typewriters, typesetting ma chimes, photo-engraving and almost everything else in the long list of im- provements came from cooperative volunteer effort as Farman defined 1t as hts own method of success in using the first steam engine able to sustain itself in the air long enough to demon- strate the certainty of flight. It Is not likely that the volunteer is now to be superseded.

Irs.h View Of AmerIcan Election.

| Freeman's 6Dubifn) Journal.
 l Those who a few weeks ago were prophesying Mir. Taft's election as "a dead sure thing are beginning to real 1 ize that Mir. Bryan, after all. has his chances. True. he has been twice de- 1 feated. defeated principally by the defection of sections of his own party
 who disliked his program. But then
 1t is remembered that he boiled 8 nii+
 lion votes more than. the orthodox
 Democrat. Judge Parker, whose nomi-
 nation the Democrats of Wall street Imposed upon the convention of 1s04S Many things have happened since, No- where has wealth organized itself so skillfuliy to take toll of the. earnings and creations of the workers. From behind its tariff walls. erected profess sedly in the interests of the wage earner. 1t operates more successfully and ruthlessly than ever mediaeyal baron from behind his castle fosse. The meat of the worlds ranch. the fruit of the greatest fruit producing country. the oil of the wells that light half the civilized world. the iron and coal that America possesses. In inoal- ulabIe quantities. have been as suc- eeasfully monopo1ized as the imported wines and silks in the trade in which the court favorites of the Tudors and SEuartS found their doWer.- The coir Of the wage-earner is clipped when- ever he proceeds to barter with Ithe trusts. The victorious Republicans four years ago. eight years ago, were to end all this. They were to restrain tho trusts. They were to revise tho tnriff. Mir. Taft's committee is now engaged fin passing the hat to 'pred atory wealth." The situation gives the key to the Bryan campaign. Pres ident Roosevelt must feel flattered. He has nominated Mir Taft ss his success aor. and the opposition to MT. Taft is to be based on the argument that he Is not strong enough to cnrrv ont the Roosevelt policy. that the executant of that policy must be found in the Den,v ocratic camp. There is a good deal of truth in the contention. President Roosevelt, stole a good deal of MT. Bryan'S thunder. He was never able "to catch the Nebraska man bathing. but he got at his wardrobe and filched some of his. most characteristic gars ments" He could not make them the fashion in the Republican camp. and 1t is pretty clear that if they are to be worn successfully at Washington. they must be exhibited there on the person of their original wearer. ss fs

The Three Most Terrible of Disease

Germs.
 While modern medicine has been busy for two decades in isolatIng and labeiing the germs that produce varf- ous forms cf disease, 1t Is only within the past few months that the most ter rible diseases known to attack the human body have been placed in the correct relative positions due to their virulence in attack and ability to last against the best efforts of man.
 For instance, rabies has a germ that never fails to slay it's victim once 1t has produced a single symptom in human body. No case of rabies has ever been cured after the disease had shown its true nature. Often the disease has apparently lain dormant and asleep in a human body for six months. and even in a few cases a whole year has gone by between the time of the infection from the rabid dog and the beginning of the disease in the human victim.
 The second of. the deadliest of all dis eases Is glanders-a disease that men can get from horses. It does not often spare the horse. but no man has ever been infected with glanders who had the least possible chance of recovery. in 1882. First come chills and then fever. Next. after three days of agony the head. neck and joints blotch over in horrible fashion and every joint in the body swelis and bursts. Death comes any time after the seventeenth day, but no human being ever recovers
 Anthrax Is the last and most viru- lent of the three diseases terrible" '" Anthrax shows in the form of huge boiis. which swiftly eat into the body like magic cancers. The anthrax germ is the largest. the toughest. the strong est, the wickedest and most virulent germ known to medicine. Tn csc germs are the wolves of germ life No amount of cold can hurt them. They have to be boiled at least for ten minutes to kill the smallest. They can be found alive and biting in leather that has been tanned for two months.
 It lives for years In the dead bodies of cattle. and animals have caught the disease by grazing over the dead bodies of other animals. the worms in the ground bringing the anthrax germs 10 the surface of the ground. Anthrax can kill in a few hours--a day or two is the longest 1t takes to devour a liv- ing human body.
 Leprosy is mild after the three dis eases mentioned above. Leprosy and smallpox and bubonic plague are class ed as curahle compared with rabies, Klanders and anthrax-the three most frightful germs known to human science. They are uncurable, uneon- querable and invincible.
