BEAR NAMES OF GREAT MEN.
Famous cosnomens Borne by Those Of
Humble Occupation.

The question Of what to do with our
great men after they have ceased to
hold high Office Is effectively answered
in the New York city directory. Accord
ing to that unimpeachable authority,
George Washington is pursuing the
humble but very useful occupation OF
a barber in Harlem-and, according to
his customers, he is good one. An
drew Jackson, whose name has here
tofore been associated with notable
military achievement, follows the
peaceful calling OF nurse. Abraham
Lincoln is put down as a secretary.
William Mckinley as a publisher and
James Madison as the secretary Of an
important corporation. James Monroe
Is a machinist; Benjamin Harrison a
printer; William Henry Harrison a
fireman. and Andrew Johnson sail
maker. Thomas Jefferson is appro-
priately In charge Of Tammany club
house; John Adams is a policeman,
and John Tyler proudly figures as a

REFUSED TO RACE

At THE FAIR
Animus Of Horsemen Demon
strated at Boston
THREATS OF NO AVAIL
Efforts Of New York Executive to
Suppress Gambling Resented In
Strange Manner.

Ballston, N. Y, Aug. z7.--Hostility
TO Gov. Hughes because of his efforts
to suppress gambling at the race
tracks was expressed during the visit
of the governor to the Saratoga Coun-
ty fair yesterday, when owners of
trotters refused to start them in the
races, while tn ex-governor was on the
fair grounds. Officials of the fair
threatened and coaxed the horsemen
in vain. Not until the governor had
departed did the races proceed.
Gov Hughes was scheduled to leave
here on the O'Clock train, and short
ly before that time he left the fair
grounds enclosure. Immediately upon
his departure the racing proceeded.
The lateness of the start caused the
continuance Of the trotting until dark
this evening.

The closing speaker was w. e. Bor-

audience from the start. He spoke
with absolute fairness throughout his
address and referred to Mr.. Bryan as
a man of high character, but took is

his country had repudiated those pol

them and finally Bryan himself has re-

OF the campaign of 1908. Senator
Borah stated that the election of Bry-
an was the chief thing in the platform.
He said: "Mr. Bryan stands upon a
platform which declares upon both
sides of every question except race
suicide and simplified spelling. The
people will not forget that the man
who has been selected as the standard
bearer of the republican party. the
man who, in his broad, sympathetic,
progressive Americanism, typifies the
best there is in public life today, finds
kinship with that sturdy New Eng

There Is a movement among health
authorities to do something to arouse
the public to the danger from the tele-
phone, the disk being collector OF
germs to some extent. Telephones
should be washed with soap and water
ana kept as clean as possible, good
disinfectant also being necessary. The
telephone companies should keep pub
tic instruments and the booths in a
clean condition. 1t is suggested that
the telephone be not held to the mouth,
but against the breast when talking
and another precaution is to place
paper or linen over the transmitter

Luring Her Here-Mrs. Mary

Judge Herr, In the Fourth Precinct
Court today, refused to accept a COM

Mrs. Micheline Kitvuku, of Chicago,
with enticing her to Newark to marry
him, through the use of a photograph
Of a handsome friend. The photograph
was displayed, and. as 1t was passed
around, Mrs. Mary Weber, of 119
Bruce street, declared 1t was her hus-

"John deserted me four months ago."
she said, after we had lived at 119
West street with the Wica family.
Mrs. wica got a divorce and this pho
tograph is my husbands. I wish 1 had

Judge Herr decided that Mrs. Kit

finding the right man, and If she failed
it was her loss.
