only to wake up I'm the morning and find
before his door his faithful representa-
tive with spiked collar and lolling tongue
waiting to take him into custody.
AS far as understood, these dogs which
are now entered on the pay rolls Of
Montgomery county arc not mathemati-
clans, and are therefore unable to report
the numbers Of the machines they trail.
Some few details may need yet to be
worked out, az. for instance. the precise
method of tracking the trailing dog.
Sheriff Welt will have to have some way
of finding out where his faithful crea-
lures have gone. Two dogs will hardly
be enough to last long unless the animals
are trained to return and lead their mas
whizzer. Or maybe it is intended to ter
rify the motorists into surrendering. The
spectacle of huge dog racing down the
pike behind the car. swapping viciously
at rear tire or preparing to leap into
the tonneau and command a halt, may
work satisfactorily as deterrent to the
scorchers
Perhaps Mr.. Welt is depending on the
moral effect Of the presence on Conduit
road Of a pack of bioOdhounds. He may
be designing to impress the speeders with
a. sense Of mystery. At the same time
it is altogether likely that henceforward
the speed lovers who use the Conduit
road i'm Maryland will provide themselves
with toOtlsome chunks of meat with
which to bribe these supposedly faithful
servants of tho law. The public will
watch with interest the application of
Uncle Tom methods to the patrolling OF
this famous highway.

THE WAR SCARE.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
However much We may laugh over the
recent war scare in Congress as the re:
suit of Secretary Dickinson's withdrawal
Of a communication which Congress re.
fused to accept as secret, we must al
feel a real apprehension over the proposal
of Alexander Knox that the powers OF the
world should play foot ball with one an
other.
From the Syracuse Herald.
All that suppressed report scare now Is
being blamed onto Representative Hob
son. True. he didn't draw up the report

tary Dickinson. However, there Is sus-
piciOn that the present situation pleases
him. and any way his head Is handy

From the Columbia State.

Luther's
Father,

have q castle in the neighborhood. This
castle was destroyed in the thirty years
war, but was rebuilt in 1850 and is stfli
occupied by the ruling family, although
they spend much of their time in Leip-
zig and Berlin.
Luther expressed his admiration for the
brave. hardy and intelligent race tina.
worked the mines. He tells US that
they were fond of singing and playing
chess, but were superstitious. ana the
forests that surrounded them were In
tested with fairies and demons. which ex-
ercised very much such an influence over
their fortunes as the good dragons ana
the bad dragons still exercise over the
Chinese.
Luther's father, being thrifty. industri-
Gus and ambitious. became superintendent
of a mine and afterward bought q small
furnace or smelter with his savings. Be-
fore he died he owned or operated several
shelters. He grew in influence as his
wealth increased, was elected church war
den and aspired to the Office of burgo-
master. Count Mansfield. the owner OF
the village and the mine. respected him
highly and assisted him to rise in the
world. The same respect and confidence
were shown for Martin Luther, who at
the time Of his death was in Eisleben to
arbitrate dispute between the Count OF
Mansfield and several lessees of his mines
and furnaces. Certain rights and privt-
years, and the controversy had become
acute. when both sides agreed to submit
to the decision Of DR.. Luther The Prince
Of Anhalt, who also owned mines In the

tration.

CONsECRATE CATHEDRAL
Large and Distinguished Gathering At.
tended Conservation of Roman
Catholic Cathedral Today.
(Herald Specially

London, June 2S.-With impressive
and solemn ceremonies, the Roman
Catholic cathedral at Westminster
was formally consecrated today, with
the participation of one of the largest
and most distinguished gatherings of
prelates ever assembled in England.
The ceremonies brought together the
Most Rev. DR.. Bourne, Archbishop of
Westminster, and the bishops of Liv-
erpool, Birmingham, Shrewsbury, Not
tingham, Southwark, Northampton, Gal
loway and other sees. The Lord Mayor
of London, Sir John Knill, the Duke
of Norfolk, Lord Halifax and other
noted representatives of the Catholic
laity were in attendance. The conse-
Grafton is to be followed tomorrow by
a grand celebration of the sixtieth an
niversary of the re-establishment of
the hierarchy of England.
The great cathedral at Westminster
was projected by Cardinal Wiseman,
the first Archbishop of Westminster,
and on his death the idea was taken
up by his friends as memorial Of
his splendid services to the Roman |
Catholic church In 1895 the first
stone of the cathedral was laid, and |
in the winter of 1903 the edifice was
opened for daily use. The general
style of the building follows that of
st. Marks, Venice, the nave being the
widest in England. Excluding the
cost of the site, the total expenditure
on the cathedral building, hall and
cloisters has been nearly $7,0O0,000.

How to Stop DRINKING,

1t was formerly customary for the
habitual drinker to take the pledge
regularly, sometimes once year, and
sometimes in every fit of remorse that
followed his debauches, and then
break it.
But now it is gradually dawning on
the world that pledges do not stop
drunkenness. The nervous system of
the habitual drinker is diseased and he
must have treatment that will cure
this condition. Orrine is sold under a
positive guarantee to cure the drink
habit or the money will be refunded.
Can be given secretly.
