liz a special message to the TeXa,
legislature recently Governor Campbell
urged the passage Of law prohibiting
a liquor saloon within ten miles of any
public school. This would mean state
wide prohibition as schools are not that
far apart in any part of the state. He
also asked that the primary laws be
changed so as to require majority
vote to nominate candidates. The gov
ernOr OF Texas is becoming as radical
as was the former governor of Alabama
and everybody knows what happened
in Alabama as the result Of his readi-
calism.

Refuses to serve on Committee.

Milwaukee, Aug. 30.-Emil Seidel,
Milwaukee'S socialist mayor, declining
to serve on a Roosevelt reception com

A baseball game between negro clubs
for the championship OF Fayette county,
Ga, yesterday afternoon broke up in a
riot in the ninth inning, and as a result
three ball-players are dead, three prob
ably fatally injured and several less
seriously hurt. Pistols, knives and
baseball bats were used in the riot,
scores of spectators taking sides with
the rival teams. The riot was caused
by close decision Of Umpire Smith in
the ninth, which allowed the Brooks
team to score the winning run. The
members OF the Hartford team and
their friends at once moved on the UNI
pire, who was protected by the Brooks
team. Although nearly all the fight
ing ragged about the umpire, he escaped
without serious injury.

"PORTRAITsv OF CHRIST.

The portraits Of Christ are not true
to life, " said Henry B. White, Of Yale
University, Sunday night, in an address
before fifty Chinese students at Evans
ton, ILL., 1T is not strange that they
should not be, continued the pro-
fessor, for no man who ever painted
a portrait OF Christ ever saw him.
From all descriptions of Christ in the
Bible we are led to believe that he was a
strong muscular man, even brOnzed
and ruddy, and anything but effemi-
nate, as many portraits show him to
be. This is as 10 should be. Christ
was the only man who ever lived who
was all powerful Davis Starr Jordon,
OF Leland-Stanford University, declares
that young men of today get only half
the power they should out of their
efforts because they have misspent their
energies or lost the use Of some faculty
because of disuse. 1t was not 80 with
Christ; he was the ideal of Mr. Jordan s
idea. "

TWO Drowned.

Boston, Aug. 30.-A mother gave
her life in an attempt TO save the life
/ OF her child who had fallen into ia
maica Pond late yesterday, and a
stranger was drowned while trying to
save the mother. The child was res
cued by another woman. Mrs. Cath
crime Fogarty had her two children,
Marie, two years old, and an infant,
with her in the park for an outing,
holding the infant in her lap while
little Marie was seated in q baby car
riage. In playing in the carriage
Marie moved so violently as to start
the wheels, and before the mother
could stop it, the baby carriage had
rolled into the pond. Putting the
baby on the ground, Mrs. Fogarty, inn
mediately jumped into the water, which
was deep at that point, but was unable
to reach her little one, and losing her
footing sank beneath the surface. A
man about sixty years OF age, then
leaped into the pond and seized Mrs.
Fogarty, but his efforts so exhausted
him that he, too, sank TO his death.
Miss Martha Daley, a maid employed
nearby, by this time had lowered her
self into the water and rescued the lit
tie girl, who had suffered no apparent
i'll effects from the accident.

ATTACKS SUPREME COURT.

Former President Roosevelt in his
speech at Denver yesterday attacked the
Supreme Court OF the United States.
He delivered a sorching criticism of the
two final decisions OF that tribunal and
urged their reversal. Such decisions,
he said, would upset the whole system
Of popular government and the state
and nation would be impotent. The
knight sugar trust case and the New
York bakeshop case, as decided by the
court aroused the speakers ire.

AFTER THE GRAVES" AGAIN.

Tell me what will be the use Of that
old crippled gentleman in collecting the
names OF those who insuIted him at the
corner OF Fairfax and Franklin streets2
Why he ought to know they are the
braves" Of Alexandria and are i'm
mune from punishment no matter Of
what nature-burning ut stake and
hanging Of little children, or any other
crime for which the states prison doors
would fly wide open, and the electric
chair would be in readiness. Why
that old gentleman is not the only old
cripple who is insulted nightly on that
same corner. Then go up to Tunnel
town and let an old person-man or
woman-pass and the same set Of
braves" are there nightly with their
insulting, yelling, calling the old all
kind OF names. Sunday school to open;
what for, or what good does it do?
We all know the teachers do their
best, but they are pOwerless to reform
the braves" because reform must
begin at home. Children, no matter
how brave, must be taught decency
and self respect When man or wo-
man, girl or boy, looses self respect,
they are lost--lost forever-lost.
Oh, the young braves" Of Alexan-
drio. Some day they are to rule poor
old Alexandria and what a rule i'll
will be. Poor, poor old Alexandria
will then be like her old men and
women Of today. Home rule is what
is needed on streets and homes.

out until his hind legs were in mid

While he was seated in the buggy
the horse lurched forward at a ter

top of the bank an alligator that
had seized him by the right hind
leg. AS the animal fell off 1t snap
