DEFENDS FAIR NAME OF I'm

Below will be found letter in

certain charges and allegations
made against the name of our
fair county. We do not know
much about the particulars of

Rochester, Aug. 10.-Joe McGinnity,
Christeued the iron man" in the old
Gays of the major leagues, is winning
double headers now in the Interna-
ticnaI league. He took two the Same
daV last week from Rochester and
then was about to do the same thing
N Toronto, but lost out in the ninth
inning of the second game.
He made the most remarkable rec
ord in 1903, when he pitched both
games of three double-headers for
the Giants, and won all six games
On Aug. 1 that year he beat Boston
by 4 TO 1 and to- 2. On Aug. 8 he
beat Brooklyn by to 1 and 4 to g.
On Aug. 81 he beat Philadelphia to
1 and 9 to 2. All of these games went
the full nine innings.
In 1904 McGinnity pitched twelve
straight victories for the Giants. He
was not beaten until June H.
Following is the Iron Mans formula
for a successful pitcher: "A fellow
can't pitch unless he is worked regu-
larly," says Joe. "A man must be on
the rubber often to retain his effec-
tiveness. No pitcher can keep in con-
dition unless he works in games. He
might practice till the cows come
home, but there is & vast difference
between working on the side lines
and working when some one is trying
to knock the cover or the ball.

EXPLAINS NEGRO ATTITUDES;
ADMITS PLANK THEFT
Rv AssocIated Press,

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 10.-Be-
cause some Of the northern delegates
TO the recent Progressive party con-
yention were anxious to help the
ECuthern negro gain representation,
vet did not know how to get at it, a
serious breach in the new party's
ranks was threatened. according to the
story that Theodore Roosevelt told
mere today
Roosevelt said he had refused 20
give southern negroes a voice in the
meeting. Northern delegates who
sympathized with the clamoring blacks
told the colonel he was unfair, and
that they would not abide by his de-
cision. Roosevelt Immediately analyz-
ed the attitude Of the negro delegates
in the Republican conventions, then
declared that if the protestants want
ed to create such conditions in the
Progressive party they must do 1t
without him. His ultimatum was con-
vincing, he explained.
TT was the only way" asserted Mr..
Roosevelt. In years to come, he said,
1t would be generally understood that
q step in advance had been taken; that
the country was on the right road to
n solution Of the entire problem.
The colonel today admitted that the
Progressive party had taken material
from the Democratic plank.

ideas except those fit for inmates of
lunatic asylum" he exclaimed.

SUMMER COLDS
Are Considered by Doctors More DAN
9erous Than Winter Colds.

A person is quite as apt to catch cold
in the summer as in the winter, but it
is harder to cure cold in the summer
than in the winter. In winter the brac-
ing air assists the remedy to overcome
the cold, but the sultry, depressing
weather Of summer retards the cure of
colds.
The public is much interested in
knowing a remedy thatwiIl successfully
cope with summer colds. A remedy
that covers just such cases is Peruna.
Experience has taught that it is the one
remedy that promptly expels sum-
mer colds of every character and de-
scription.
Miss Ivy Gray, Fairview, KY, says
"I have taken Peruna, and would say
that it is the best medicine for coughs
and colds I ever saw. I find that it
always cures cold in short while. 1t
also strengthens and builds up the sys-
tenn"

WAY.
BY Associated Press.

Stratford, Conn, Aug. 10.-Steady
tramp of marching soldiers, staccato
orders of nervous officers, clatter Of
provision trains, and the muttering Of
raw, tired militiamen echoed over
southwestern Connecticut today as TO-
900 troops made their way into the
state for the first moves in big game
of war; New York is the goal in the
game.
The red" army is aiming to set up
its tents in the country's metropolis,
and blue" army will attempt to keep
the force Of invasion away from Broad
way. Before the armies meet in the
battle, the troops, both regulars and
volunteers, will be put through a course
of practical instruction in the field.
All the units Of both forces are under
orders to be in their camps by o'clock
tonight, excepting the Massachusetts,
militia. Troops are on the move by
land and sea from Maine, Vermont,
Connecticut, New York and New Jersey.
At D. m. a state of war" will begin
and the blue army Of defense will
throw out it's outposts and take the
precautions required by war conditions.
During the period of instruction all
the units will move on a carefully pre-
pared schedule issued from the head
quarters of General Tasker H. Bliss in
this town. General Bliss, as COM
mander Of the department of the east,
is chief umpire, and upon his decision
eventually will hang the failure or sue
cess Of the attacking movement.
The problem itself is suggested by
the battle of the Yalu, in the Russo
japanese war, the topography Of the
area in Connecticut apprOximating that
on which that great conflict was
fought.
