Sunday, oct. Is. DIR. Thompson is speak
ing to thousands of men every day. Last
year he travelled so, 900 miles and spoke
379 times. That he is qualified to speak
on this subject will be inferred from his
position and experience. That he is a
speaker of force may be inferred from
the following from the Baltimore Ameri-
can, commenting upon his address in the
Lyric theatre to between 1000 and 5000
men: "Thunderous applause greeted the
words of Rev. Fayette l.. Thompson, as
sociate campaign leader of the 'Men and
Religion Forward Movement when he
exclaimed" and then follows an outline
of the address.
This movement is strictly inter-denom-
national. It's object is to correlate the
masculine forces of the continent CEN
treing in a committee known as "The
committee of ninety-seVen," composed of
representative men from all parts of
canada and the United States and from
all communions.
DR.. Thompson will speak three times
in the Methodist church as follows: At
$50 to both men and women; at $50 to
men only, and at Z to men only. All the
men of the own are invited to such
services as do not conflict with those of
their own church. 1t should perhaps be
added that, holding, as he does, these
two offices, DR.. Thompson will represent
both these movements, which are so
closely allied to each other. His address
Sunday evening will be more particular
ly representative of the Brotherhood of
which he is general secretary and a
branch of which recently was formed
here. However, all men interested are
cordially invited.

Although defeated in his effort to Sc
cure the nomination for mayor of Schen-
ectady James F.. Hooker has assured the
Republican club of Schenectady county
that he will do all in his power in the
interest of the election of the man who
defeated him in the primaries. The
Knickerbocker Press of Albany says that
in a meeting of the Republican club Mr..
Hooker forcefully convinced hundreds of
voters of the sincerity OF his statements,
made previous to the convention, that he
would actively support the convention
nominee. lie emphasized the necessity
of harmony in the Republican ranks dur
ing the present campaign by calling at
tention to the three cornered contest
brought into existence by the nominal
ton of DIR. George II. Lunn, the Socialist
nominee for mayor, and he urged the
unqualified support of his friends and
followers for Heron, the Republican
nominee. Hooker's activity is a source
of much surprise to Democrats and So
cialists who. although believing that he
would personally support Herron's nom
ination, did not think he would come out
and publicly stump for the organization
nominee. He has promised to speak
frequently at meetings during the cam

move the cover from the feed hole as it
was not his work to put the feed down

into the barn floor and f.. y. Waldron
noticed that the hole was closed at that
time, and it is not known why Mr.. Stone
opened 1t. A. j. Waldron heard groans

When the code letter IS" was flashed
by wireless telegraphy from Ireland to
Newfoundland a few years ago, the
world was astonished. But since that
time long-distance communication with
out wires has become a commonplace
and on Thursday messages were trans

six thousand miles of ocean. For fifteen
minutes the operator at Hill Crest, San
