Mrs. Carnegie. in a great meas

Americas great financial kings,
John d. Rockefeller. She is a
sweet faced, gentle. motherly wom-
an, who knows but little of the Bit

who much more prefers a horizon
limited to the four walls of her
home.
1t was a pretty little romance

DAY SCHOOL" TOWN NOT
RESENTED BY ULTRA-RE-
FORM FORCES At PUBLIC
MEETING.

Dean Alfred Lockwood, who d.
rected the tactics by which the
Federated clubs and the church
vote was swung to Fassett and
Pratt, sat mutely by last night at
the city hall Pratt meeting and
heard unkind thrusts made at
Sunday school town" without ris-
ing in defense of condition in
municipal life that was urged as
the slogan of the clubs and the
ministers before the primaries.
Judge Nash, chairman of the
Pratt nonpartisan club, and George
S. Brooke of the Fidelity bank,
both told the meeting that we did
not want a Sunday school town.
Judge Nash said that he was not
closed town man and did not
want to see anything done in the
line of reform that would hurt
property interests; that all prop
erty interests of every character
must be preserved and respected.
Brooke said he believed in mod
crate reform; that he was not
radical along such lines and did
not want city of the Sunday
school type.
These sentiments were not chal-
lenged by Dean Lockwood or any
other preacher present, and indi-H
Gates a decided change of front on
the part Of these forces as COM
pared with the numerous profess
sions heard before the primaries.
In the minds of these gentlemen,

The WOMAN'S CORNER
Stories for Little

Once long time ago a woman
went to hire a herdsman and she
met big bear. where are you
going, old woman?" said Bruin.
"To hire a herdsman," said she.
won't l do?" said Bruin.
"Well why not?'' said the
I woman. do you know how to call
the flock? Just let me hear
VOW, ow," growled the bear.
my, no! l can't have you!" the
woman cried when she heard him
say that, and of she went on her
way.
After while she met a wolf.
'Where are you going, old
woman p, said the Wolf

"Well, why not; If you can only
call the flock; let me hear" said
she.
"Uh, uh." said the wolf. "My,
MOI" said the woman. You'll never
do for me-"
After a while she met fox.

"Dil-dalholom," sang the fox in
a clear, fine voice.
Eyes, I'll have you for my herds
man." said the woman, and she set
him to herd the flock. What do
you think! The first day he ate
up the goats; the second he ate up
the sheep: and the third he ate the
kline. The old woman was churn-
ing when she heard the dreadful
news about her flock. and she
~snatched up some cream which was
in the churn and threw it at the
fox, who was running away from
her. He got dab of it on the end
of his TAIL and that's the reason
why the rox has a white tip to his
brush ever since.

COMMISSIONERS
OBJECT TO INCREASE

A meeting of the board of dr.
rectors of the Spokane county ex-
hibit at the A. Y. p. will be held to-
morrow noon at Davenport's, and
it is believed that some action will
be taken with view of having the
county commissioners make an ad-
ditional appropriation for the coun-
ty display.
The county commissioners were
invited to the meeting but have
concluded not to attend, as they
are not in sympathy with the plan
to further increase the amount to
be spent in giving the county ex-
hibit at the A. Y. p. The original
appropriation was about $4,000,
which the commissioners believe
ought to be sufficient to give Spo-
kane county a creditable display.

ZELAY4 DEFEATED.

of His FOU01cers.

Bluefields, Nicaragua, Oct "a (By
wireless telegraph via Colon).-The tug
Blanca, which has arrived here from
Greytown, brings news of the first i'm
portant battle of the rebellion. General
Chamorro's forces fought an engage
ment on Friday with one thousand of
President Zelaya's troops at a point be-
low Boca San Carlos, on the San Juan
River. The revolutionists won a de-
cisive victory, one hundred of the gov
eminent troops being killed and three
hundred wounded. General Chamorros
losses were slight. The insurgents capt
ured two Krupp siege guns and four
hundred rifles
This defeat for President Zelaya will
doubtless have a deterrent effect on re-
cruiting for the government service at
Managua- and is likely also to bring ad
ditional reinforcements to the stand
ards Of the insurgents. General Cha
MORO is now advancing slowly.
The steamer Yulu, belonging TO the
Emery company, also has reached here,
with the details Of the capture by the
revolutionists of Cape Gracias a Dios.
This port was easily taken, not more
than five or six men being killed and a
small number wounded. This gives the
revolutionists control of the entire At
lantic coast.

and ordering the chauffeur to drive
alongside of a pair of runaway horses
attached TO a funeral coach, Patrolman
Driscoll. of the Lee avenue station, Will

the Williamsburg Bridge yesterday af-

swerveF out of line and dash up the in

From the automobile he was able to
reach over and grasp the bride of one
of the horses when the pair reached the
Brooklyn anchorage. after race the
length of the bridge. Patrolman O'Don-
nell, of the Bridge Squad. who was in
the roadway, attempted to stop the run
away just before DriscOll came up, but
was dragged for some distance. The
driver OF the coach was Henry Katz, of
No. 1876 Division street, Manhattan. Sew
eral women in the coach tainted when
the runaway was stopped, but were un-

MRS. STETSON'S CASE.
Hints of Secession at Christian
Science Meeting.

During the services in the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, Goth street and Cen
trail Park West, the first reader, Virgil
o. Strickler, announced yesterday that
there would be meeting of the members
of the church on November at o'clock
in the afternoon. 1t was learned that
the board of trustees would report to
the meeting it's position in regard to the
deposal of Mrs. Augusta z. Stetson as
teacher and the deposal and admonish-
ment of the seventeen practitioners by
the central authorities at Boston, whose
action was approved by Mrs. Eddy.
A member of the church said yesterday
that the board would either recommend
a successor 20 Mrs. Stetson and complete
submission to the Mother Church. or re-
fuse TO obey the latter. which would be
tantamount to a stand for secession.
The majority of the members. It was
said. including the first and second read
ers. would oppose secession II matters
should come ito this pass, the member
said. the trustees might refuse to permit
the majority to use the church building,
and a suit at law would be inevitable.
The effect OF the Boston action and the
semi-resistance by the First Church
trustees here was noticeable yesterday
morning in a comparatively small at
tendance at the services. The church is
usually filed, but yesterday there were
numerous vacant places.

Judge LurtOn and +. n. Jud.
son Mentioned.
IFrom The tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Oct. 24.-The death of
Justice Peckham to-day has revived gos-
sip which was current in Washington
early this year that Judge Horace H.
Lurton, of Nashville, Tenn. of the Sixth
Judicial Circuit, may be appointed to a
place on the Supreme Bench. President
Taft and Judge Lurton are intimate
friends. They served together as United
States judges, and it is known that Mr..
Taft has a high regard for Judge Lur-
toms legal attainments. 1t is understood
that when Mr.. Taft was Secretary of
War he told some of his friends that
Judge Lurton would make an ideal Su-
preme Court justice. 1t was stated at
the time that in the event of the retire
ment from the bench of Chief Justice
Fuller an Endorsement of Judge Lurton
for his successor would be headed by Mr.
Taft. Judge Lurton is a Democrat.
F. n. Judson, of ST. Louis, is another
whose name is being mentioned tonight
as a possible successor to Justice Peck
ham Mr.. Judson and Judson Harmon,
now Governor of Ohio, were the attor-
news appointed by President Roosevelt
to represent the United States as special
counsel in the famous Santa Fe case.
Although Mr.. Judson is a Democrat. he
is a stanch admirer of President Taft
1t will be remembered that he was the
author of an article dealing with Mr.
Taft's labor decisions when he was a
federal judge. He defended Mr.. Tafts
record so ably that his article was
printed in pamphlet form and circulated
by the Republican committees
Others whose names are mentioned
are Luke E. Wright formerly Secretary
of War; j. NJ Dickinson. Secretary of
War; Henry NJ Hoyt. counsellor for the
State Department, and solicitor general
for the Roosevelt administration, and
Solicitor General Bowers.
