The subject of his morning sermon
was Gods Peculiar People" He
brought out the following facts;
That the Bible distinctly places
Gods people in a peculiar family
That they are peculiar Just because
they belong to Him and He is the
only true and eternal being. In the
second place because they are sep
arated from sins and the world and
are spiritually minded because they
are made holy and kept pure by the
grace of God. Again because II Is
expected of his people that they shall
be jealous in good works, and II is
for the diciples' good. betterment OF

RELIABLE SPORTING NEWS

1t is a curious and significant fact
that men who can be satisfied with
distorted and unreliable news in
other departments will instantly re-
sent the falsifying of sporting news.
Those interested in the sporting
events of the world long ago discov-
cred that The Chicago Record-Her-
aid is a reliable authority in this
field. printing all the news, day by
day, year in and year out, with "A
steady accuracy and terse complete
ness unsurpassed anywhere. IL has
a large stan of editors and reporters.
who devote all their time and skill
to this department alone. The Sun
day Record Herald has separate
sporting supplement of four full
pages-a newspaper In itself-in
which the athletic events OF the
whole country. reported by telegraph
to the last moment of going to press,
are presented with numerous illus
trations. All that is OF interest In
baseball. football. racing, athletics,
hunting, automobiling, yachting,
golf. tennis, boxing and other sports
can always be found in reliable form
in The Record-Herald. Every man
on the sporting staff is an expert
trained to see straight and write the
truth without bias. This is the good
and sufficient reason why The Rec
ord-Herald is the favorite paper
among the true lovers OF sport.

to that effect.
1t is scarcely conceivable that Mr..
Ballinger has been guilty of such
crude scheming. And we do not be-

fortunate affair will be cleared up;
but at whatever cost to private repu-
tations, let the natural resources be
conserved for the benefit OF future
generations.

RISKS HIS LIFE
TO SAYE SNAKE
ENTERS KING CoBRA's CAGE
WITH SCISSORS AND sCALPEL.
Seizes Moment When Deadly Reptile

Act. and Performs Critical sur
gical Operation Upon Him.

New York, Aug 16.-Charles
Snyder. head keeper in the reptile
house at the New York geological
park. took his life in his hands yes
terday afternoon and. without as
sistancee. performed a surgical oper-
alton on Rex. the deadly king cobra
This was after more prudent and
more learned scientists OF the zoe
had decided that the risk was toe
great to be undertaken.
Rex has been in the possession OF
the Geological society for nine years
and is one Of its most valuable speci-
mems. Five years ago II nearly killed
a keeper.
Several days ago a wen-like swell
ing developed on the cobra's neck
and grew steadily worse. Raymond
l.. Ditmars. curator. realized that
only a surgical operation would
save the serpent DR.. W. Reed Blair
agreed. but both decided that the
snake was not worth human life.
Snyder's Opportunity.
Snyder's opportunity came yester-
day. He had thrown a large black
snake into the glass front Enclosure
for the cobra's dinner. Rex had
difficulty In swallowing. II had
about half the smaller reptile down
its throat and seemed helpless to CD
rid of the rest of t. Figuring that
Rex could not sting to kill in that
predicament Snyder seized scissors
and a scalpel and slipped into the
cage.
Rex was thrashing about in its
effort to down the black, but Snyder
managed to stand astride the snake
Just above his head. and then with
a few quick. def cuts and slashes
the work was done. Snyder jumped
back and through the little door in
the rear. which he slammed Just in
time, for the cobra had conquered
the black snake and turned to kill
the man who had saved its life.
Scores OF persons had witnessed
the operation without realizing that
they were looking at a man In i'm
minent peril of death.
When Snyder told Ditmars, the
curator said: Man, you are crazy;
you have a wife and five children"

New York. Aug. l6.--Ella Gingles.
the Irish girl. who figured as the cen
trail character In one of the strang-
est stories that ever came out of the
west was safely escorted aboard the
Campania yesterday on her way TO
her mother in County Antrim.
Charges OF stealing Irish lace. In
the making of which the girl Is an
expert, were brought against her by
a Mrs. Barrett OF Chieago( said to be
friend Of many persons OF influ-
ence. This was after the lacemaker
had made an alleged exposure OF the
dissipation In Chicago and at French
Lick Springs OF men of standing In
the community. some OF whom she
also charged with an attempt TO en-
trap her into white slavery.
Miss Gingles was captured on the
charge OF theft. The Orangemen of
Chicago. the west and practically the
whole country. and the Socialists
also in their warfare against corrup-
ton In high places. came to the res
cue OF the Irish girl.
She went back to ireland volun-
tarily. She was brought from Chi
cago by Mrs. Grace Van Dusen
Cooke. Boston Socialist. who will
see her safely in her old home In An
trim. The girl says she Is coming
back 10 make trouble for those who,
she says. have DETAINED her.
Ella Gingles is one OF the prettiest
girls who have sailed across the sea
in many a moon. she is plump aud
red and white. with cherry lips aud a
complexion like a fresh flower She
has well-rounded figure OF gener-
Gus proportions. Her fluffy blond
hair will not stay In place.
The orangemen who constituted
her bodyguard were stalwart fellows,
with code OF signals. much mystery
and eagle eyes. She WAS taken first
after reaching here Monday night TO
the home OF an Orangeman In East
Seventy-first street. where she re-
NAMED until Tuesday morning. when
she was hurried TO Corona. l.. l.,
whence she was taken TO the Cunard
pier In a carriage yesterday morning
Her guards barred everybody from
her until she was safely in her state
room. with chaperon.

''You bet that when come back

It,"

asked.

IL had the misfortune TO fall into
the hands OF very bad people. but
their regulations are such that the
charges against me. which they in
spired, had very little weight among
good people at any time.
Although the Jury found that
was not guilty of the lace stealing.

QUESTIONS OF THE HOUR.

How easy il is to stir up the emo
tons of the populace over something
of little moment that can be reetified
at any time il is found not satisfac-
tory, and how difficult even to in
terest them in matters that vitality
concern their welfare. For instance,
note the widespread discussion of
the tariff schedules by those. who
will not even give the schedules time
to prove themselves; and then note
the almost utter forgetfulness of the
fact that all the state legislatures
are to vote on the constitutional
amendment, giving the United States
authority to levy an income tax.
The tariff can be amended at any
time. The income tax amendment
once defeated, cuts of a source of
revenue. which both political parties
advocated. The submitting measure
provides that, not the people, but
the legislatures. shall vote on the
amendment. 1t requires only twelve
dissenting state legislatures to put
the income tax forever out of reach
of the American people; yet we have
no discussions of the issue, and
while the people are arguing about
the tariff. those most interested can
pack the legislatures of twelve
states against the income tax and
defeat 1t.
There is another matter, which
Roosevelt discussed, and Taft dis
cussed and conservation congresses
discussed. and governors discussed
at the white house and yet, seems
far from the thoughts of the people.
That is the conservation of natural
resources. II some combination gets
control of the greater part of the
latent water power in our rivers, 1t
will form a monopoly that will lay
the whole country under tribute and
make the entire Industrial system of
the United States subseryient to the
will of it's promoters.
Just now there is raging around
the capitol at Washington quarrel
between Chief Forest Pinehot of
the agricultural department, and
Secretary OF the Interior Baliinger,
In which ugly charges have been
made. that Mr.. Ballinger's influence
has been thrown on the side Of the
would-be monopolists. whose land
