Mayor Edward Schwabenland Of.
Riverside, N. j., and Henry Tesnow.
'ne of the most popular residents Of
hat thriving little borough, were talk
ing the other day on queer sayings
and doings. when Eddie told Of a mo-
lion that had once been made In a
school board Of which he was a mem
Der.
The needs Of the town, Eddie said,
demanded that a new schoolhouse
should be erected, and after the board
had discussed the question to a con-
siderable length one Of the members
arose to his feet.

2resstvely. that we build a new
schoolhouse on the site Of the old
one; that we use the material In the
Old one for the new one, and that we
1ont tear down the old one until the
new one is built"
Well, what did they do about it?''
smilingly queried Mr.. Tesnow.
They were q little bit slow com.
;ng around" replied Eddie, .but Just
as soon as they got their breath "a
working again they sent for an archi.

lbe done"
Did he find the answer?" asked
MI. Tesnow.
No." was the chuckling rejoinde,
Of the mayor. HE worked on It un,

New Yor, July 14-Heeding the
worldwide OPPOSITION to the exhibit
ton of the moving pictures of the
Reno prize fight, the affiliated compa-
MES controlling the films have al
nounced that the pictures will be eX-
hibited only in the theatres that cater
for mems patronage, and that children
will be barred from attending.

best. From this all the films to be
shown throughout the country will he

the pictures"
Mr.. Blackton declined to discuss tht
action of the authorities of Manila
Philippine Islands, the latest city t,

"Farmer" Wolfe, as this genial

Gently, and in a total of twenty-seven
innings pitched not one run was made
on him. In the game with Albany he
pitched nine innings; in that with
Ocilla six innings, and in the recent
batfest with Quitman he was in the
box for an even dozen innings, yet
not runner made the circuit. For
an unsOphisticated farm lad, a mere

American women have to wear cost

stein, formerly the beautiful Anna
Brewster
American women, by their care
les department, breed immortality into
the younger generation, says Miss
Adelaide Leonore McAdam, ''fresh
from long study abroad"
American women think more of self
preservation than of race-preserva-
ton, says Marion Cox, an author
claiming to express "a mans view CT
the situation
AS one in doubt at whist leads
trumps, according to the old formula,
so one at loss for other conversa-
tional material talks about weather
or the American woman. Much wis

But it all goes to justify Prof. Mary
A Wilcox in her declaration at Welles-
ly College that to speak of the equal
ity of sex is merely to play on words.
For what man among us could hope
to rival under fire the beautiful equan-
unity with which woman floats
through an endless tide of analysis
idolatry, Misrepresentation, criticism

COLONEL ROOSEVELT
TO BE HARMONIZER
1t is Believed That lie Will
Play That Role.

Washington, July 14-Theodore
Roosevelt, the harmonizer.
AS a result of his efforts this year,
united party; victory in November;
more progressive legislation in the
Sixty-second Congress, and 1912 com
ing around, the Republican party hag-
ing fulfilled all its pledges to the
country, excepting as to tariff, and
even that in process of fulfillment
For Colonel Roosevelt to identity
himself with either Republican faction,
say folk here, would be for him to in
vite oblivion for himself and defeat for
the party. In the end, it is claimed,
the factions will merge-in fact, are
now seeking that end.
But how will he manage the situa-
ton so as to bring about the result
above referred to? 1t is predicted that
when he gets ready to take a stand as
to national affairs he will know that
the Republican regulars are not all
wrong. nor the insurgents all right.
There will be good on both sides, as
well as more or less that is not so
good. 1t will be the purpose of Col.
Roosevelt to select the good that is in
each side, enlarge upon it; call atten-
ton to the bad, and condemn it; and
while doing this to say that President
Taft for reasons which will be perfect
! ly obvious to the Roosevelt mind, has
been doing the very best he could with
a difficult situation, and has so con-
Quoted himself as to merit party in
dlorsement.
Coming down to the bill of partic-
ulars, this city believes that Colonel
Roosevelt will find cause for rejoicing
in the forthcoming retirement of Sen
ators Aldrich and Hale; in the forth
coming retirement of Mr.. Cannon from
the speakership; in the liberalization
of the rules of the House; in the large
part the Senate insurgents played in
whipping the railroad bill into shape;
in the fight which the same insurgents
made, but unsuccessfully, to get a
larger measure of reduction when the
tariff was revised.

CHLOROFORM LEGACY
Is LEFT TO PARROT

Washington, D. c., July 14.-On the
outcome Of a will contest in this juris-
distion hangs the life of a poll parrot.
Polly got a reprieve today when
notice that the will of Mrs. Otillie
Stock which provides, among other
things, that the bird shall be chloro-
formed, will be questioned by Eliza-
beth Stock, her daughter, to whom was
left 81 in money, two kitchen chairs,
two pals and one broom.
Just why Polly was sentenced to
death no one seems to know; SHE is
too lively to have reached the chloro-
forming age. Nevertheless the will
commands the executors to put Polly
to sleep.
Another provision of the will is that
all family photographs and letters be
buried with Mrs. Stock. She left to
many of her friends small household
articles, such as pillow cases, pillows,
pans, brooms and pals. She makes
the German Orphan Asylum of this
city residuary legatee.

GOVERNOR HUGHES is
TO BE CHIEF JUSTICE
No appointment Likely Before Earl,
in December.

Beverly, Mass, July 14.-Charles
E. Hughes will be the next chief JUS
tice of the United States Supreme
court.
Justice Moody will announce his re-
tirement from the Supreme court be-
fore November, when the term of the
special law enacted for him expires.
President Taft has not yet decided
whether he will appoint the three new
justices this fall and call an extra
session of the senate, or wait until the
regular session in December His
present inclination is against calling
an extra session. The president fig
ures that as the Standard Oil, tobacco
and corporation tax cases cannot come
up until November, little time could
be saved by one, but he has not de-
cided against it. He is thinking ii
over.
The president in making his APP
pointments to the Supreme court
bench is inclined to promote men
from the federal District and Circuit
bencl4as. The Eighth circuit, west
of the Mississippi, is the most clam
orous with candidates. These are
Judges Sanborn, Vandaventer and
Hook. But all of these have sat in
at least one of the important cases,
and for that reason are probably
barred
Lloyd w. Bowers, solicitor-general
of the United States, is one of the
most probable appointees. President
Taft does not believe that Bowers
participation through the department
affects his eligibility.
Outside of that the only ones sug-
gested to the president for appoint
ment ranged in age from seventy
three to seventy-seven years, and Mr..
Taft has made up his mind that if he
is to have the making of the Supreme
court he will make one that will last
at least one generation.

BY RAIL TO PANAMA
WHEN CANAL OPENS?
This is a Possibility of the
Year 1915.

Mexico City, July 14-One of the
possibilities in connection with the
opening of the Panama canal in 1915
is that visitors from the United States
will be able to make the journey ov-
erland to Panama to view the opening
ceremonies by way of the Pan-Amer-
lean Railway of M,xico, purchased not
long ago by David E. Thompson, for
ner American ambassador to Mexico
This standard gauge road runs
from Gamboa, in the Mexican state Of
OaXaca, to Mariscal, in the state of
Chiapas. on the bank of the river di-
viding Mexican from Guatemalan soil
a length of 457 kilometers. The total
trackage is brought up to Ats kilo-
meters by number of branch lines.
The headquarters of the road are at
Gamboa, but Mr.. Thompson has his
Offices in this capital
The road serves a fertile and pros
porous country, the population Of
),
mostly engaged in farming, cattle rails
ing and the cutting and manufacture
ing of lumber. The sawmill industry
is a growing one and it is expected
shat it will increase rapidly with the
increased transportation facilities that
the railroad will give.
Chipas is a state we'll adopted 20
the growing of fruits unsurpassed b.
those of California or Florida, and
they can be delivered in the markets
of New York and other cities of the
eastern United States within eight
days after being picked, by shipping
them over the Pan-American transhiG-
ping them at Gamboa over the Tehuan-
tepec National and by boat from the
port Of Coatzacoalcos to the Atlantic
coast of the United States.
The Mexican towns along the line
range in population from 500 to 5000
and offer markets for no small guam
titles of the products of the soil. Both
OaXaca and Chiapas are states known
to contain ores of great value, gold
and silver mines being among the
profitable ventures of the region. The
railroad will open up new fields to
exploitation.
Under the Thompson management a
comprehensive plan of Improvement
has been inaugurated. Steel bridges
are to replace wooden ones, modern
stations are under construction and
the rolling stock is being increased
and improved.

FOOD FACTS.

"A prominent physician down in

tients always gain just as | did in

Il was in such a low state tHatI had
to give up my work entirely and go t..
the mountains of this state, but two
months there did not improve me; in
fact, l was not quite as we'll as when
left home. My food did not sustain
me and it became plain that | must
change, then began the use of Grape
Nuts, and in two weeks | could walk
mile without the least fatigue and
In five weeks returned to my home and
practice, taking up hard work again
Since that time l have felt as We'll
and strong as l ever did in my life.
"As a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers, | consider it a duty to
