The New Gymnasium and
RafhS.

In ancient Greece and Rome, when
physical manhood was at its prime,
athletic sports were much in vogue
and the public baths were so much in
favor that many of them were struc-
lures of art Of the highest order of
the times. Gymnasiums were fire.
quented by young men of prominence,
and to excel in the native sports was
a distinction of honor. In America to-
day the college athlete of prominence
is an object of envy to his fellow
students and has privileges that pay
tribute to his accomplishments. While
this is due largely to his value in main
tanning the standing of his college in
athletic fields and the admiration
that everyone has for perfect physical
development, it had birth in the fact
that health is necessary to the inn
provement of the mental faculties and
a certain amount of muscular strength
is necessary to health. Therefore the
gymnasium lays the foundation for
success in any calling by providing
the energy and strength for both men
tai and physical exertion.
The foregoing being true, the fact
that Mr.. Adam Seller has just opened,
in the Seller building, thoroughly
equipped gymnasium under the
competent instruction of Mr.. Chas.
Dell, should be welcomed by every
one who has an eye to his own inn
provement and health and who wishes
to be up-to-date in modern require
ments.
In connection with the gymnasium
is a fine bathing tank, hot and cold
shower baths, Turkish bath, massage
lounge, dressing booths: lockers, etc,
and resting lounge. Besides other
gymnastic apparatus there is a wrestl-
ing mat, boxing gloves and punching
bag.
The admission price is so cents, in
Guiding baths of any kind, or rs cents
for use of gymnasium only, and the
place should become great resort for
the young men of Covington.

his little brothers and sisters, six of
whom were sleeping on the second
ioor of the cottage. Sarah, fifteen
years old, also was badly burned
about the arms and chest while max
ing a similar effort.
Mr. Walsh, the father, was severely
burned, too. He was injured from
the explosion of gasoline stove in
the kitchen of his home. which he at
tempted to light. Supposing that none
of the burners were lighted Mr.. Walsh
set about to fill the gasoline reservoir
of the stove but one Of the burners
had been left burning and when he
poured the gasoline into the tank the
accumulated gas caught fire and a
terrible explosion followed
The fire Immediately spread through
out the frame structure and it was a
roaring furnace In few moments
Six OF the children, including those
killed, were sleeping on the second
floor and were practically imprisoned
by the flames.

New York, Sept 11.-No crash In
the market followed the death of Il.
H. Hartman. The big f1nanciers took
charge of the situation. Long confer
ences followed the financier's death
and when the gong sounded for the
opening of the market their brokers
were on hand with the sinews of war.
Vaults were opened and millions and
millions of dollars thrown into the
market to hold up the price of stocks
Instead of break there was an ad

terests, Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific opening 2 points higher. Other
stocks In which Mr.. Hartman had
large interests, notably Baltimore and
Ohio, Atchison and New York Central
showed gains ranging from large frac

Steel was strong on moderate vol
ume of trading.
Very heavy buying orders flowed
into the market when It was seen that
prices were resisting the firm selling
pressure. Early In the second hour
Union Pacific shot up 8, the preferred
stock SA, Southern Pacific s7s. Read

Improvement
Among French financiers Mr.. Harri-
mans immense power and capacity
was widely recognized, but the general
feeling is that the United States is so
rich In resources and its productive
capacity is so great that the death Of
one man, no matter how farreaching
his interests, will not stop the onward
march of the country's prosperity.

bitterness existing for some time be-
tween the few remaining cattlemen
and the homesteaders residing in the
vicinity of Quinn, one Of the new
towns between the Missouri river and

KEPT up BATTLE
UNTIL The LAST
Harriman's Fight for Life
Characteristic Of Him.
COURAGE NEVER FALTERED

Although His Physical Strength Was
Ebbine Fast During His Final Hours
He Gave instructions 20 Business
Subordinates and Endeavored to
Cheer His Despairing Wife and
Children.
New York, Sept. 11.-with the pass
ing of e. III. Hartman from the realm
of business, where he had long occu-
pied dominant position achieved by
remarkable genius and intense energy,
the attention of hosts of his friends
and admirers turned to the stricken
family in the silent house on Tower
hill at Arden.
The magnificent courage with which
Mr.. Hartman faced the unconquer-
man and stirred the emotions not only
of those who had been close to the
railroad financier. but ELECTED tributes
from men who had been his opponents
In many a business fray. Almost to
the very last the mind of the man who
had never given up In defeat contin-
ness he had built up. His last in
gtructions were delivered to subor-
dinate only q few hours before his
death.
Constant vigil had been maintained
at the Hartman home all during the
night preceding his death, for the
members of his family realized that
only the stern will power of the man
sustained him in the unequal fight he
was waging.
Cheers Wife and Children.
Although the patients vitality was
at low stage and he was suffering
from a high fever he endeavored to
cheer his despairing wife and children.
Don't worry, my dear" he said TO
his daughter, Miss Mary Hartman,
II am going to get we'll"
Some hours later it became appar-
ent that the end of the brilliant career
was approaching and the members of
Mr.. Harriman's family were sum-
moned TO the bedside. There, accord
ing to one of those present, the scene
enacted was most affecting as the
husband and father bade his wife and
children goodbye. With unfaltering
courage, but ebbing strength, he
clasped hands with all for the last
time, embraced them, spoke words of
cheer to his wife and daughters and of
advice to his sons, Roland and Aver
ell. Roland. the youngest son, who
had been his fathers constant COM
panion during his illness. was shak-
ing with sobs as his father clasped
him In his arms and whispered the
farewell words.
It is the general belief that over
work was the cause of Mr.. Hartman S
death. There was some malady of the
digestive organs which it is under
stood was never positively diagnosed
and the precise nature of which never
will be known. There is to be no

The party was met at the station
by Captain Butt. the presidents aide,
and by two White House automobiles.
The president had invited number
ce guests to the cottage to meet the

mony the health of the Japanese I'M
perials was pledged and Prince Kuni,
speaking through Mr. Matzui as inter-

BEGAN LIFE AS A PLOWBOY
Judge Lovett May Become Head oi
Hartman System.

New York, Sept 11.--Judge Robert
Scott Lovett, who appears to be slated
to succeed e. H. Hartman as head of
the Hartman system of railroads. was
a plowboy before he got into the rail
road business. Like Hartman he be-
gan life at the bottom and worked his
way up to the top by giving and TAX
ing hard knocks with the world.
About three years ago Hartman
took Lovett to New York as vice pres
