No charity is half so helpful to the
recipients as that dispensed by the Y.
NJ. G. A. i'm any community in educa-
tional and physical physical ways. The
present association has done a great
work i'm Marion but now has outgrown
its usefulness because of cramped and
insufficient quarters and funds. 1t Is
case of either closing altogether or
getting more money to go ahead with
the work The plans, already pre-
pared by an architect. call for the
building of an additional story to
contain 40 sleeping rooms where
yodng men may live. This will pro-
vide big source of income to the as
sociation and will aid 1t to becom"
self-sustaining. At the present time
each member receives benefits which
cost $13.75 for his So membership.
The association has thus run into DEBT
about $4,000. 1t will take $1,000 to
run the association for the next two
years i'm addition to membership fees
Taking out this $4,000 there will be
left $4,000 for remodeling the build
ing. The remodeling will be carried
out from cellar to garret and with
such building as is planned and
such additional facilities, 1t Is expect
ed that the membership will be more
than doubled. At the end of two
years, when all pledges now beine
made. will have been paid and the re-
modelling will have been completed, II
Is believed that the association Will be
on a sound business basis and be self
supporting and the hundreds of dol
lars. asked for annually, Will not be
needed. The association Will then be
controlled by a building board and
another board will have the operation
under it's direction.
1t is faithfully promised that n
individuals connected with the asso.
citation shall in the future take par
and use his Y. NJ. c. A. position t'
mix into political or events OF pun

Short Morning Brings Good
Results.
Y. N. c. A. FUND IS GROWING
$4,000 Mark Expected by
Tomorrow.
Solicitors Report That Citizens Of
Marion Show Disposition to Give
Worker Out This Afternoon And
Confident of Final Success.

Starting off this morning with a
rush that seems certain to spell a
glorious victory at the end of seven
days, the Y. NJ. c. A. solicitors this
morning in the short time that they
were at work, gathered in donations
amounting to abount $4,000 and re-
ceived promises of many more hum
dreds of dollars. The men are at
work this afternoon calling upon cit
liens of Marion in all walks of life
and 1t is expected that by tomorrow
at the noon hour the donations Will
reach close to the $40, 900 mark.
Soliciting at first Is naturally slow
work until the public is familiar with
the enterprise. The Y. NJ. G. A. Is
asking for $4,000 from Marion cit
liens, to modernize the building and
place 1t on a basis where the future
will probably take care of itself. This
is a great undertaking and the 100
men who are engaged in asking for
the donations are bending every ef-
fort to accomplish their purpose.
The future OF the young men of
Marion is at stake in this enterprise.

Ratan and His Song Birds.

One of the most pleasing perform
ances we have ever been privileged 10
witness and enjoy was that OF Rattan
and his juvenile song birds, who en-
tertained large audiences at the sun
Tuesday night. 1t Is an act so en-
tirely different from the ordinary
vaudeville performance that the pa
irons of the sun were both charmed
and delighted at the wonderful work
of this interesting trio. Mr.. Rattan Is
the happy possessor of a remarkable
sweet tenor voice and he knows how
TO use 1t with good effect. While
Ratan's singing is worthy of more
than passing notice his act Is most
certainly embellished with the won
derful performances of his little song
birds, "Baby Ellis" aged years, ana
Baby Dorothy aged years. That
children of this tender age could un-
derstandingly entertain an exacting
audience almost surpasses belief Yet
an act of this nature is seen only once
In a life time. 1t is at once marvel
lous and inspiring. and we have no
hesitancy in proclaiming it the most
agreeable attraction ever offered the
public of Marion. Their engagement
closes tonight at the Sun.

The Railroad Bills.

Wash. June President Delane OF
the Wabash and President FELTON, OF
the Great Western called at the White
House to complete the details OF the
agreement reached in the rate increase
dispute yesterday.
President Taft called Mr. Mann, in
charge OF the House railroad bill, and
Senator Crane. who helped steer the
Senate bill to the White House for the
conference.
After the conference the president
sent a brief special message to Con-
gress recommending that the railroad
bill be amended to go into effect i'm
mediately, in order to safeguard the
government end of yesterdays agree
ment The message did not under
take to prescribe method for amend
ing the bill, the president keeping
aloof from the dispute over whether
the bill should go to conference OF the
Senate bill accepted by the House.
Mr. Mann hurried from the White
House to the floor OF the House and
as soon as the president message was
read asked unanimous consent to read
the bill to conference. An objection
by Mr.. Lenroot, precipitated the strug-
gle between he regulars who want the
bill sent to conference and the insurgents
and democrats who favor the Senate
bill.

The most serious uprising with which
the Mexican government has had to
deal in a long time has occurred in the

much bloodshed and that the insur-
gents are preparing for battle with the
government forces, which Is sure to
come soon.
The independent newspaper FL DC
tamen, publishes dispatches from Merl-
ia, the capital of Yucatan, to the effect
that 40 persons were killed by the Maya

Further dispatches state that 1000 OF
these Indian insurgents sacked the town
Of Valladolid, 80 miles to the southeast
of Merida, killing all the principal
government employees, the chief OF
police, and others. They seized rifles
and pistols, and began reign OF terror.

SUICIDE.

Mrs. Agnes Sommeryille, 80 years
old, the wife of Harry A. Summerville,
or Somerville, as he is also known, died
at the Homeopathic Hospital at Albany
n. Y, yesterday. She shot herself in
the left breast with a revolver in DR..

had been living with her husband and
three children in New York city and
also lodged for time in Buffalo. Her
husband is a commercial traveller for the

Mrs. SomerVille's tragic death was
the result OF the most remarkable
love infatuation for another woman's
husband that has been revealed in
long time.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate yesterday sidetracked the
statehood bill, and made the public land
withdraw bill the unfinished business
Senator Hughes and other democrats

in dealing with the statehood question.
Assurances were given by number
of republicans that statehood would re-
ceive consideration after the conserya-
ton measure had been disposed Of The

Senator Nelson spoke in favor of the
pending bill, and Senator Clark against
it. The Senate passed bill providing
for AZ additional army officers.
A senate bill prohibiting the use Of
the insignia Of the Red Cross by I'M
authorized persons were passed by the
Senate.
Leaders of the republicans organiza-
ton in the House backed by President
Taft's request decided to fight to send
the administration railroad bill to con-
ference.
Everything is in readiness to push the
postal7savings bank bill through the
House without an amendment, accord
ing to the republicans in charge OF the
measure.
The House passed joint resolution
creating a commission to investigate
the subject of employers liability and
women's compensation.

DALZELL TO FACE CONTEST.

Declared winner of the republican
nomination for Congress in the
thirtieth district of Pennsylvania, by
215 votes after a recount Yesterday,
Congressman Dalzell must face a CON
test His opponent, DR.. r. j. Black :,
took the first step by making an in
formation against Harry Black, a
Judge of election in McKeesport,
charging him with violating the cleo
ton laws. This is the district in which
DR.. Black claims that his votes were
counted for Dalzell, and when Blacks
brother-in-law demonstrated he was
told to mind his own business. From
what several persons saw in this dis
trict, " said Dr. Black, the ballot box
will be reopened and the votes recount
ed, and this will mean that there will
have to be a recount in every election
district, for the same frauds were prac-
ticed on me elsewhere. Large sums of
money were spent to defeat me-
1t was stated that prominent demo
Gratis of western Pennsylvania and
democrats of other states interested in
the Dalzell fight had arranged to raise
800, 900 with which 10 fight Dalzell at
the general election.
When the ballots were counted yes
terday it was found that both repubh-
can factional candidates for the state
Senate in the FOrtieth district had been
defeated by Henry Cooper, an indie
pendent nominee OF the church people
He was prohibitionist and social

PASSENGERS PRESENCE OF
MIND.

The presence OF mind Of an unknown
passenger in the smoker attached to
the Boston Express, on the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad,
probably prevented the death or seri-
Gus injury of the 80 occupants OF the
car when il was torn ont OF the tram
and hurled on its side in remarkable
wreck at New Rochelle, n y, yester-
day afternoon, As it was, every pas
senger escaped with nothing more seri-
GUS than few cuts and bruises.
Eight cars had passed the switch
safely, when the smoker swung sudden
ly off on the branch tracks. 1t was
dragged ahead by the train until the
last car, tugging in another direction,
whipped it from the rails.
Under the strain both couplings gave
way, and the smoker, freed, dashed
ahead over the ties between the two
sets Of tracks.
Everybody hang on to his seat and
brace his feet, " sung out some cool
headed passenger. The warning came
just in time, for after humping along
for moment the smoker toppled over
on its side. But with the occupants
braced in their seats they escaped in
jury, except a few who were cut as they
clambered out of the broken windows.
The other cars remained on the rails,
and the passengers therein were shaken
up, but uniniured.

tive session will be held. President

Parr discovered the use of the secret
spring in the scales used by the
American Sugar Refining Company,
Secretary Mac Veach will have a con-
ference with Mr.. Parr next week when
it will be determined how much reward
Parr will receive.
Neither OF the bills is ours. Why
should we vote for them? If we have
votes enough now to accept the Senate
bill surely we can prevent the confer
ees from putting over any provisions
unsatisfactory to us" This is the
argument which the minority party
seems to take on the railroad bill today.
