is trying to put up job to help beat

A recent dispatch from Atlanta states
that deacons of the Western Heights Bap-
fist church have hit upon a novel plan
to induce delinquent members to attend
services. A prize fight was advertised
to take place in the church one night,
and long before the time for the bout
to begin every pew was filled. Shortly
afterwards, two of the deacons, gloved
for the fight, faced each other and the
fight was on, but after sparing a few min
utes but falling to land blow, the bout

AGAINST VOTES FOR WOMEN.

OF course it wouldn't do to judge all
women by the two women who took such
great interest in the caucus that nomi-
mated a United States Senator, and while
The Dispatch has no knowledge of any
thing damaging to the personal charac-
ter of either of the women, it is yet of
the opinion that great lesson can be
drawn against women's suffrage in this
matter and the further fact can be adj
duced that women who allow themselves
to becom eaddicted to politics, especially
in an active way, are treading on dam

SALOONKEEPER'S CHURCH
BUILT TO SPITE RIVAL
Liquor Men Fall Out and Mission
Band ReapS the Benefit
of Conflict

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-New York
has a spite" church, erected, it is
said, as the result Of the business
rivalry Of two saloon keepers in the
Bronx.
The church, a little wooden build
ing, was opened for worship yesterday
with a congregation Of thirty persons.
For some time the liquor trade in
the neighborhood has been divided be-
tween two saloon keepers whose busi-
ness rivalry has been keen. There is
a state law which forbids the keeping
of a saloon within 200 feet of a church.
One of the saloon keepers, it is said,
decided there could be no more effec-
tive way of putting a rival out of
business than building a church near
enough to him to compel him to close
up when his license ran out.
The property on which the new con-
gregation will pray belongs to the sa-
loon keeper and was donated by him
for the purpose. Thes other liquor man
asserts the church was plainly erect
ed to force him out of business and he
is angry. He declares he will retaliate
by taking steps to build another
church on property owned by rela-
tive within 200 feet of his rivals
door The result may be that both
men will be forced out of business.
The mission authorities in charge Of
the new house Of worship decline to be
drawn into the controversy.
1--WE shall conduct the church along
our regular lines" said the pastor,
without thought Of any controversies
with which we have nothing TO do"

DEFECT IN INFORMATION
DELAYS DR.. MARTIN CASE
Lawyers Score a Partial Victory
for Fresno Physician

FRESNO, Sept. 19-Dr ]. L. Martin,
accused of having caused the death
of his wife in this city because of
neglect, scored a victory in the su-
perlor court before Judge Church to-
day, when the information in his case
was set aside and the demurrer sub
mtted in his behalf by Attorneys
Everts and Ewing was sustained.
The action Of the court was taken
on the ground that the information
which was drawn up by Police Judge
Briggs, before whom the preliminary
examination was held, was not suffi-
ciently strong in its legal verbiage
to warrant the defendant being brought
to trial
Deputy District Attorney Mccormick,
on whose motion the court set aside
the complaint, stated that he consid-
cred the demurrer OF the defense valid,
and this afternoon will have Judge
Briggs submit another and more COM
plete information.
The bonds Of DIR. Martin, under
which he is at liberty, win stand the
same as they did before today's de-
velopments.

ut has been figured" said he, "that
the cost of fleet Of 100 battleships
would not exceed one-tenth of one
per cent of the property within reach
of twelve-inch guns on the Atlantic
coast.'
AS demonstrating the insurance value
of battleships, he pointed out that at
the beginning of the Spanish-Americann
war property along the Atlantic coast
depreciated in value, and houses ex-
posed to the sea could not be rented
at any price.

nIeted the government should keep a
permanent fleet on the Pacific coast.
He insists the hazard of ships passing
through the canal during a war would
be too great to risk the entire fleet on
