G Corner stone laying

A beautiful day, jolly crowd,
a luxurious dinner. an aitrctive
program and plenty of pretty
girls combined to make the gala
day at Cobbs Greek on Tuesday
Il very pleasant occasion. The
crowd gathered early and spent
The time previous to the beginning
Of the program in looking over
the handsome and spacious build
ing now in course of erection,
and of which the corner stone
was to be laid. About twelve
o'clock the corner stone was laid
with Masonic ceremonies. Wor-
shipful P. X Bowman presiding.
The ladies of the choir furnished
beautiful and appropriate music
at intervals during the ceremony.
Immediately after its conclusion
the crowd assembled TO the upper
floor of the new building where a
sumptious dinner was served by
the ladies. The considerable
funds realized from dinner and re-
freshments goes of course to help
complete the High School.
After the proper period for di-
gestion. had expired the crowd
was called to order bv Mr.. O. w.
Jocelyn, who introduced as the
first speaker of the day, Major
James Stubs. of Gloucester. who
as usual made an impressive and
instructive address. He was fol-
lowed by DR.. Ionn d. Blake. of
Wilton Va, Rev Mr., Dutton. of
Baltimore and Mr.. r. s. Mariner
of Washington. All of these gen
tlemen spoke N a happy vein
that appealed strongly TO the au-
dience. They spoke in common
datory terms OF the splendid work
already nearing completion at
Cobbs Greek. and prophecied even
greater things for the future. A
snappy game of base ball between
Cobb's Creek and a pick up team
figured as another attraction of a
day which all present pronounced
most ENJOYABLE.

Provident association. "if they expect
to gain a foothold among the poor of
the city. believe they are willing, but
they don't know how to work to the
best advantage.
ct is the plan of the management
of the Provident association to start
a movement in the near future with
the object of getting the churches and
young peoples societies interested in
intelligent and systematic work among
the poorer class in Topeka.
Definite work will be offered to the
church members and the young peo-
pies societies and a training class will
be esta blished to teach the good peo-
pie interested in benevolent enterprises
just how to go ahead in social work.
The young people especially ought to
study social problems.
"In Buffalo the churches sign up an
agreement with the charitable institu-
lions to be responsible for furnishing
someone to take an interest in each
needy family.

Hungary Is About to Take Steps II
Stop 1t.

New York, Sept. 1.-The Hungarian
government is about to take steps to
check the wholesale emigration to
America of its more desirable citizens

cording to Morris Cukor, a New York
lawyer who was some time ago appoint
ed legal adviser to the Austro-H Hun
garian consulate in this city. So alarm
ing has the emigration to the United
States become in the view of the Hun
garian authorities that Mr.. Cukor was
recently summoned to Budapest to con-
fer with Count Hedervary, the prime
minister, regarding possible methods of
stemming the tide.
Hungary must in self defense find
some way of keeping it's people" said
Mr.. Cukor. ''Hungarians who have been
successful in business over here have
gone back and brought their relatives
to the United States until a point has
been reached where the Hungarian gov
eminent is feeling the drain upon
desirable class of citizens"

NOVELTY WINS FUTURITY.
Love Not Might Have Taken Race
but for Her Runaway.

Saratoga, Sept. 1.-The classic flu
turity, the richest race of the year. and
the last of the season in this state
perhaps the last futurity, in view of
ant1-betting egislation-was won by
s. 9. Hildreth's Novelty, ridden by
Shilling, in 1:121-5. The race netted
only $23.S00 to the winner, although
IN the past it has been sometimes
worth more than 100000. H p. Whit
ney's Bashti. bought a few days ago
Tor $4,000, earned $3,s73 in second
place. E. r. Brad1ey's Love Not took
third money, $1,S26, one and one-haIf
lengths back. The time is only as of
second slower than the track record
The most remarkable incident of the
race was the brilliant performance of
the filly Love Not. On the way to the
post she became unmanageable and
ran for half mile with her Jockey.
little Reid, at full speed. He finally
pulled her up, but it took twelve min
utes to bring her back to post. When

There her earlier effort told and she
stopped badly but shrewd horsemen
were not wanting who believed that
only her unfortunate runaway lost her
the race
On actual performance, though. the
victory of the Hildreth colt stamps him
the best two-year-old in training. Ow-
ing to his winnings in other big stakes,
Novelty had to pick up 127 pounds,
conceding weight to every other horse
entered, and his victory must be cred
TIED to the superb horsemanship Of
Jockey Shilling, who has ridden him in
all the races he has won at the meet.
