representative in the British capital.
While Mr.. Lowell was minister at
London, our consul general there was
E. A. Merritt Some years after Gen
eral Merritt had returned home he
was told what Minister Hunt had
written home concerning his treat
ment by Minister Lowell, and was
asked if he could offer any satisfac-
tory explanation of the letter.
We'll" said General Merritt, after
a thoughtful pause, Il have always
had the highest respect and admira-
ton for Mr.. Lowell as a great repre-
sentative of American literature and
scholarship; but as consul general
at London when Mr.. Lowell was sta
toned there as minister l soon came
to learn at first hand that the literary
atmosphere which was inseparably
connected with Mr.. Lowell, and his
associations with the great of Eng
land, caused him to show at times q
woeful lack of tact to those of his
fellow ocuntrymen with whom he
came in contact. I have always felt
gard was unintentional and absolutely
unconscious on his part, but, just the
same, it did occasionally cause promi-
nent Americans to feel somewhat
hurt. A case in point is Senator
William M. Evarts, and it is one Of
several instances that came under my
personal observation.
London Mr.. Evarts was sent as dele
gate by the United States government
to the important international none
tary conference held in Paris. On his
way thither he stopped off at London
for a few days. Then it was that I
discovered that Mr.. Evarts was one Of
the best-known living Americans in
all England. He was especially re-
membered there as the leading coun-
sci for the United States before the
Geneva Court of Arbitration, which
decided the famous Alabama cases in
favor of our government, and in off,
cial circles he was also remembered
as secretary of state during the en-
tire Hayes administration.
Well, as result, Mr.. EVarts was
highly honored In London, and was
the guest of distinction at two or
three brilliant functions. At one of
these affairs he met Lowell and was
speedily astonished and grieved to dis
cover that Lowells manner towards
him was, as he expressed it, tactless,
cool and Indifferent Mr. Evarts could
not understand 1t, and though he at
first thought he had unintentionally
done something to offend Mr.. Lowell,
he could not think of anything he had
done to merit such treatment, not
even when he, as secretary of state,
had Mr.. Lowell reporting to him as
minister to Spain. And Mr. Evarts
carried his grief over the incident
with him to Paris, though later he
was consoled by the reflection that
Mr.. Lowell had unintentionally and
unconsciously treated him as he not
infrequently treated other distinguish
ed travellers from home
But 1 must add this" went on Gen.
eral Merritt, MY own relations, per-
sonal and official. with Mr.. Lowell
were extremely pleasant from begin
ming to end"

ARDMORE-LAWTON
CONTRACTS SIGNED
WORK WILL BEGIN ON NEW
LINE AT ONCE, ACCORDING TO
PLANS OF PROMOTERS.

According to information recelV'
ed from Lawton, all the contracts
pertaining to the Ardmore-Lawton'
Sherman railway have been signed
and work will begin on the new line
at once.
The people of Lawton are elateu
over the fact of securing a road from
that city by the way of Duncan ana
Ardmore to Sherman, Texas.
The contracts were signed Friday
and forwarded to Promoter E. X
Sutton at philadelphia, and as they
conformed to every request that he
demanded, there is no reason to sup
pose that they will not be accepted

pionship race to commence, Manager
Clark took decided steps in eliminat-
ing some of his surplus material yes
terday. DeLong, Hornbuckle, Ecks,
Murphy, Huff, Lawster, Niles and Rey-
nolds were all handed their releases.
This leaves but fifteen men on the
squad. They are:
nfielders-Mathis, l.. Pokory, AL
berta, Lawrence, Pierce and Metcalf.
utfielders-Thompso McCullum,
and o. Porkorny.
Pitchers-Hall, Dougherty, Stick
land, Auchenback, Krammer, Mathis
and Stone.
Two new catchers were summoned
late last night by Captain Metcalfe,
and they will probably report in time
for Sundays game. Now that the
thinning out process is practically
completed, Captain Metcalfe intends
to get his team in fighting order. He
certainly has the material, and 1t is
very probable that he will develop a
team which will not only be a credit
to the town, but also to the game.
The pitching staff is about the only
doubtful department of the squad
but with the arrival of George Stone,
on old-hand and an exceptionally fine
slab artist, it seems as though Cap
tain Metcalfe was beginning to take
steps in producing a pitching staff
which would, at least, hold its own
with some of those of the other clubs
in the circuit.

ARDMORE EASILY
DEFEATS COALCATE
BY SCORE OF EIGHT TO TWO ARD
MORE LEAGUERS WON SUNDAY
-TISH FAILED TO COME.

The regulars of Manager Rogers
club defeated Coalgate at that place
Sunday afternoon by score of to
2. The Ardmore team had the game
we'll in hand at all stages of the game,
through the effective pitching OF
Trammell Coalgate's battery was
Clucky and Quiett. Bad weather kept
down the attendance.
Manager Rogers took his team to
Ada today, where he expects to play
this afternoon, but a telephone mes
sage from him at noon today advised
that it was then raining there and
today's game would likely have to be
called off. The team has had hard
luck having been gone since the mid
die of last week and only been able to
play two days, owing to the rain
Hinton will likely pitch this after
Moons game if it is played. Tomorrow
the locals will play at Sulphur, re
turning home Tuesday night.
Rogers is we'll pleased with the
work of Gordan, whom he signed al
Tishomingo to play third base. He
says the team that beats Ardmore in
the Texas Oklahoma league will sure
ly get the rag.
Rogers expects Infelder Jewell
Outfelder Singleton and Pitcher
Grady to join the team here Wednes
day, having sent them instructions
to that effect. Tulsa is claiming thes'
players, but Rogers beat the Tuls'
team to them and they will play herr
If they play professional ball.
Local fans were disappointed yes
terday afternoon by the failure o
Tishomingo to come here for gam'
with the youngsters corralled by Rog
ers.

REV. \. c. CONNELLY
FAV0RABLY RECEIVED
FORMER PASTOR OF FIRST
CHRISTIAN CHURCH MAKES
GOOD IMPRESSION.

Following is what one of the Min
neapolis papers has to say of Rev.
II. G. Connolly who was formerly pas
tor of the First Christian church OF
this city. He has created fine i'm
preston from the start and his many
friends in this city will be pleased
to hear of his success. Following is
the comment of the Minneapolis pa
per:
Grand Avenue Christian church is
located at Grand avenue and Thirty
first street The church was organ
/ lied in 1900 by few members of the
/ Portland Avenue Christian church un-
/ der the direction of Rev. c. j. Tanner,
at that time pastor of the Portland
/ avenue church.
Rev. c. b. Osgood. now located
at Mankato, was the first pastor, and
under his efficient ministry the church
grew rapidly, and when he closed his
ministry in 1904 he left the church
well organized in every department,
and a Sunday school of which large
church and congregation might have
we'll been proud. Mr.. Osgood was
succeeded by DR.. Fred Kline, and Dr.
Kline by Rev. T. ]. Dow, who has
recently closed a pastorate Of five
years. DIR. Dow plans to spend the
summer in the woods at the north end
of Mile Laos lake.
Grand avenue church has always
played an important part in the social
and religious life in the community
in which it is located. It has aimed
to be and is a young peoples church
The official board is composed OF
young men and women in sympathy
with boys and girls. The Sunday
= school is one of the best organized
in the eighth ward. All adult classes
are IL Sarge of young men specially
qualified to instruct others in the
scriptures.
"The present location is ideal. The
church does not encroach on the ter
ritory of any other, and commands
the respect of all its neighbors and
works with them in harmony.
1T will be necessary for the church
to provide larger equipment soon
e The building is not large enough to
meet the demands of the Sunday
school.
This congregation has recently
called Rev Howard G. Connolly Of
Ardmore, Okla, as pastor. Mr.. Con
nelly was born and raised in Balti
more, Md. He took his bachelors de
gree in 1905 at Bethany college, West
Virginia, and completed his theologi
cal course in Yale in 1908, taking the
degree of B. d. Mr.. Connolly brings
to this church youth enthusiasm and
splendid ability, together with a pleas
ing personality. He has just closed

BROUGHT REMAINS
FROM MEXICO
3, F. WARD MADE FIVE TRIPS TO
LOOK AFTER GRAVE OF GIRL
WIFE IN STRANGE LAND.

b. +. Ward left here Sunday morn
ing with the remains OF his girl wife
which he will have inferred Monday
in the family burial ground at Hew-
lit. Several years ago Mr.. Ward was
married to Miss Locke Todd at Hew-
lit, following their marriage the wife
was stricken with consumption, and
Mr.. Ward took her to Mexico in the
hope of restoring her to health. But
the worst came while the little fam
ily was away from home. At Tampi-
co Alto in the state of Vera Cruz, Re
public of Mexico, Mrs. Ward died.
Conditions existed then which made 1t
practically impossible to have the re-
mains. shipped home and every year
for five years Mr.. Ward has returned
| to the lonesome grave in the strange
country to renew his entreaties to
have the remains shipped to the Unit
ed States, but each time his visit re-
suited in failure and he planted new
flowers upon the grave and left it.
Two months ago Mr.. Ward left
here again. Reports Of war and waste
and ruin in that country made him
feel more tenderly than before for all
that was mortal of his girl wife and
he was determined to stay year this
visit or succeed in bringing the cas-
ket back with him. The authorities
first demanded permission of the
United States government and thai
was procured by the United States
ambassador in Mexico; the next re
uuirement was the consent of the
state board of health of Oklahoma. A
. personal letter to Governor Cruct
brought favorable letter at once
from State Health Commissioner DR.

stricken country to their own hom'

In the furniture department of a
big store chiffoniers with a patent
drawer that could be opened with
out pulling it out were on exhibi-
ton. All day long the clerk packed
and unpacked the drawers of that
chiffonier, showing how easy it was
to stow away gloves, wells, blouses
and mems shirts and collars. Dur
ing one of the demonstrations the
manager of the department stopped
to watch him.
"Why don't you distribute things
little more evenly ?" he asked.
"Why do you devote the four top
drawers to women's apparel and
chuck everything belonging to men
in the bottom drawer ?"

it from force Of habit. You see, I
