ENJOY BEAUTY WITHOUT ANALYzING IT.
By q. Sanfayana.

To feel beauty is a better thing than to un-
derstand how we come to feel it. To have i'm
agination and taste, to love the best, to be car
ried by the contemplation of nature to a vivid
faith in the ideal, all this is more, great deal
more, than any science can hope to be.

manifestation of God to the senses you wish
you might understand him. Yet reflection

position of the shah of Persia, who is
virtually a prisoner in the hands o1
wild tribesmen summoned to Teherar
to protect the throne against the revo-

The tribesmen are extravagant In
their demands for money, which the
shah Is unable to grant, and they
threaten to destroy the palace and
pillage Teheran.
The $250,O00 secured from the Rus
sian bank recently as loan on the
crown jewels of Persia already Is ex-
hausted.
Gen. Liakhoff's Cossacks are unable
to make any headway against the
tribesmen, who have refused to permit
the shah to leave the camp at Bade
Shakh for Saltanabad, where the harem
is now staying
Famine is reported to be imminent
in southern -rsia and this promises 70

which he asserts forced him into
bankruptcy:
I'm this mornings papers I read that
Mr.. O'Reilly makes a claim for more
money. That is a matter for former
Governor Stone, my counsel in Pitts
burg, to take charge of. There seems
no reason for me to discuss the diff
ferent claims and therefore have
nothing more to say except regarding
one fact.
"The sums already expended and
the names of lawyers and others to
whom / paid money were clearly stat
ed in the newspapers. There is only
this much to add; Besides the heavy
total of about $417,500 that paid out
myself my mother paid our family
physician and gave about $47, 500 addi-
tional to Mr.. Hartridge, making $685.,
90 received by his firm prior to April
16, 1907.
MY mother also made a present Of
$25, 900 to Mr.. Delmas. This made, with
his actual fee paid by me, $4,000, all
he received for his able services. Mr..

CHICAGO, Aug. 1o.--At o'clock this
morning indications were that Governor
Charles S. Deneen had received the
Republican nomination for governor
and that Senator Albert J. Hopkins had
obtained the Republican Endorsement
for United States senator. The result,
however, is not definitely established.
The returns available at o'clock con-
sisted Of the vote in eighty-seven of
102 counties in the state for senator,
and sixty-two for governor. Chicago
and Cook county were included.
The vote on senator was: Hopkins,
97,051 Foss, 8S,573; Mason, 1886.
On governor the vote is: Deneen,
1877, ,151; Yates, 154,436
Senator Hopkins declared late to-
night that he believed that he would
be indorsed for the senatorship by a
plurality Of 25,000
The situation on the Democratic
ticket outlined early in the night was
| confirmed by the late returns. Law
renee B. Stringer has been indorsed for
senator and Adlai E. Stevenson has
been nominated for governor. 1t is
generally believed that irrespective OF
| the popular vote on senatorial indorse-
ment a bitter fight viii be preclpl-
tated at the next session of the state
| legislature between Foss and Hopkins.
Never since political returns were
carried by messengers on foot, by OK
team and canal boats have definite
figures been SO greatly delayed in any
Illinois election as in the one just
closed.
Twenty-four hours after the polls
closed it was impossible to give accu-
rate returns of the vote for senatorial
Endorsement or the gubernatoria1 NOM
ination on the Republican ticket
The vote for the Republican senate
rial Endorsement in Chicago and Cook
county was: Hopkins, 40,S58; Mason,
SO, 917; Foss, 50,252; plurality for Foss
of 1894 over Hopkins.
The Democratic senatorial indorse-
ment may be dismissed with the sin
gle statement that Stringer won easily
| in every county in the state so far as
heard from tonight.
| For the Republican gubernatorial
nomination Deneen received In Chicago
and Cook county 1890; Yates, 72,109;
| giving Deneen a plurality in Cook
| county and Chicago of 1881.
Adlai e. Stevenson, former vice
president of the United States. ran
ahead of his opponent for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination, al
| though James Hamilton Lewis of Chi
cago made a phenomenal run in Chi
cago and Cook county, securing nearly
as many votes as all other candidates
