Big Crowd at Carnival.

There was an increased attendance
at the carnival last night and for
several hours the streets were jam

were open last night and all were
literally patronized. The MINISTRIES

attract large crowds The Ferris

popular with the children. The pail

BRYAN CONSERVATISM.

Mr. Bryan disposed of any reas
ed against him on the score of radi-
calism in that portion of his speech
of acceptance wherein he said:
And, ! may add, a platform is
binding as to what it omits as well
as to what it contains. A platform
announces the party's position on
the questions which are at issue,
and an official is not at liberty to use
the authority vested in him to urge
personal views which have not been
submitted to the voters for their APP
prevail The platform upon which /
was nominated not only contains
nothing from which | dissent, but it
specifically outlines all the remedial
legislation which we can hope to Sc
cure during the next four years
Commenting on the significance
of the above declaration, the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch remarks:
Down goes the free silver DOGGY;
down goes the government owner
ship DOGGY; down goes the initiative
and referendum DOGGY "A platform
is binding as to what 1t omits.; All
the stock scareheads with which7re-
publican spellbinders had meant to
conjure terrors to the name of Bry
an vanish into thin air at that
straightforward pledge"
Since Mr.. Taft has taken upon
himself the liberty of amending the
republican platform in order TO give
assurance that he would carry out
fully the my policies" of Roose-
welt, whose radicalism so alarmed
capitalistic interests, it would seem
that the charge of being radical
would more appropriately apply to
him than to Mr.. Bryan.-Houston

Slidino Down a Cask.

One of the vintage ceremonies at
Klosterneuberg. the famous convent
which the Niennese visit annually on
st. Leopold's day. consists in sliding
down giant cask of wine. The i'm
mense cask was first filled in the ia
nous wine year of I'LL. The origin
Of the sliding is found in story of a
cooper who was in the habit Of return
Ing home in merry condition. His
wife fetched him one day from the
village inn. and he attempted to hide
behind the cask. She seized broom,
however. and with the help Of several
friends forced him to scramble up one
side and slide to the ground on the
opposite as a punishment for his con-
duct.-London Mail.

ELBERT HCRRARD'S
CIOUSNESS.
SAIA.

Religion to woman is a kind
of secondary sexual experience.
The modest woman is one who
cries her ware in an artistic and eff
fective manner
The above are two of the suppos-
eddy brilliant remarks of Ebert
Hubbard in the last issue of the
Philistine.
1t is difficult to know just what
Hubbard is trying to say. He is far
from lucid, which. If he be criticised
from a literary viewpoint, would be
counted against him as the great
est Of sins. But he implies a great
deal He seems to want to be lit
tie bit funny and little more sa-
acious III remarking about woman.
This business of making gibes at
the expense of womankind has pro-
crossed amazingly and If there is
anything worse than making light of
purity and beauty of religion, it is
this thing of disparaging the
strength and uplift which women
wouldn't be worth a particularly
large amount without them. There
are women and women, and the good
and the strong and the helpful far
out number those who steer the
rudder in another course. And
whatever the beauty and purity and
nobleness and strength and upright
mes ard honor and the long list of
many attributes which constitutes
the things that have lifted many
from savagery and made the world
rather good sort of place to inhabit
goes back for its incipiency to the
beauty of woman's character and
the homage men have paid her for
her superiority. And what women
have been they still remains Times
cases frivolous and in somes cases
self-reliant and independent and
loose some of the finer touches,
maybe, and some of them lose
some of the greater strength, but
down at the bottom of the whole
matter they are still and always will
be the worlds greatest force for
good despite all the Hubbards and
other Shiny pseudo punsters to the
contrary Worth Record.
