From the start Johnson did the faster

strong enough to check the fast game of
the younger man. At times during the
match Paret tried, with but little success.
a net game that would have put many
another man but Johnson out of the run
ming. AT first these tactics of running
into the net a; every opportunity seemed
to work we'll but johnson seemed to
adapt his game to this style of Paret's
play after short time. and the result OF
the match was never In doubt thereafter.
The score was 6-3. 81
In the doubles Deis and Hills defeated
Paret and Davidson. and again the wise
ones of the gallery received a shock as IL
was expected that the New Yorker and
Washington veteran would stand an ex-
cellent chance of coming out as the win
ners of the doubles and competitors with
Doyle and Doyle for the championship.
Much interest was manifested by the
gallery when at the close of the play of
the day it was found that johnson will
play Deis and Gould Lincoln was matched

which is duly appreciated. than to any i'm
pressive play of their own. the New York
Americans are still hanging on to first
place even though they did meet with
their third straight setback yesterday.
The Browns eclipsed them again. but the
Clevelands had game grabbed away
from them by the tai1enders. The up
WARD fight of the Detroits was checked
by the Athletics. who went back to third
place Detroit dropping a notch. The Bos-
tons beat the White Sox again. St. Louis

member that Judge Taft has not
amassed wealth, but in the same time
Mr.. Bryan has accumulated a fortune,
and at whose expense. The former has
added life and lustre to his country. the
latter has dar ened and befogged its
outlook.
In conclusion, I viii add that we nave
had four Unitarian Presidents. and the
country did not go to the bowwows.
They were Thomas Jefferson, in faith a
Unitarian; Willard Fillmore. q regular
Unitarian. as were also John Adams
and john Quincy Adams. But few per
sons ever think Of their religious faith:
they made first class Presidents. Why
should the religious faith OF Judge
TAFT be crticised2 Those who are fully
acquainted with the Unitarian faith say
the least concerning it.

cause of a serious head-on collision
which occurred about 4 o'clock Tuesday
morning at a point one mile west of
German. First 80 westbound and extra
405 eastbound came together head-on
resulting in serious damage to both en-
gines, the derailment of number of
cars and the slight injury of two brake
men, whose homes are at Ridgelv.
1t appears that the trains had a meet
