Hartford were sister ships, and only
the Hartford is left, she being station
ed at Annapolis, as an object lesson
to inspire the future Farraguts who
are being educated there to officer the
modern war craft.
During the first year of the civil
war the Pensacola was familiar OBJ
ject at Alexandria. She dropped
down from the Washington navy yard
during the early part of 1861, and
anchored off Fishtown, where she re-
manned for some time. The Confed-
crate batteries on the Potomac at that
time made it rather dangerous for
passing Federal vessels, and the Pen
sacola had most of her rigging re-
moved before she left this port. She
managed to run the blockade, how
ever, without being seriously injured.
The Pensacola never returned to the
Potomac.

PRESIDENT MAX Els DENIAL

Charging that "therc is a conspira,
cy for the purpose Of arousing rcllgl.
Gus prejudice" against him" President
Taft in an official statement from the
White House, vigorously denied that
he has ever Favored unduly" the Ro-
man Catholic Church.
The president viewing all the cir
cumstanccs that seem to point to q
conspiracy to arouse religious prcJud-
ice against him, makes the statement
that he has "unduly favored no
church" but has treated them all with
absolute impartiality." The Presi-
dent among other things says:
"In 1902 | visited Rome and con-

Butt, set out on trip for his health
and proposed to visit Rome, he asked
me for letter of introduction to the

him such letter. The letter contain

A child lost In an eastern city the
other day fed from an approaching
patrolman, fell under the wheels of a
street car and was killed. The officer
OF the law. instead Of being looked on
as friend and protector, was viewed
by the childish mind as person OF
dire purposes to be summed. How
many parents are bringing their chill
dren UP in fear OF policemen? The
number doubtless Is considerable,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It
seems a somewhat prevalent habit
among fathers and mothers to try to
restrain the exuberance Of their boys
for instance, by telling them that un-
less they are good the police will get
them. The habit Is cruel, as we'll as
dangerous. 1t plants fear in hearts
that should be taught confidence.
Children should be taught that pa
trolman Is their friend, their protec-
tor against wrongdoers and their
guide in time OF trouble. The mother
who, In order to hush a noisy child,
threatens him with an appeal to an
officer In uniform. is implanting In the
child's mind q fear which may some
day bring the child into peril OF
death. It Is a wicked travesty on
truth and justice for a parent thus to
play upon the natural timidity OF
child. If the parent does not live to
regret 1t he has merely his good for
tune to thank for the escape. The
risk is not worth taking. at any rate.

Games to Be Played.

1t was sad news for Chicago base
ball fans that come over the wires
yesterday from Pittsburg. BY beating
the Pirates twice while the Cubs were
having a day of rest the New York
Giants gained a full game on Chicago
and now are leading once more by five
full games.
While the doings of that one day
brought despair, Manager Chance
made a statement while sitting at the
ticker in the Cubs downtown office
that is quite encouraging. He said
only a few words. but when those
words are combined with a lot of fig
ures they mean considerable
IT can see no reason" said Chance
why the Cubs cannot go from now to
the close of the season at the same
pace they have been going since July
A."
Immediately we got busy with the
records of the Cubs since July and
were quite surprised. The standing of
that day showed that New York had
won "a and lost IS games. while Chi
cago had won 3s and lost Is. That
gave the Giants lead of 14h games.
Since that day and up to and in
GLIDING the Giants games of yester-
day the Cubs have won 81 and lost IL
games. while the Giants have won rs
and lost 20. That means the Cubs
have been going at a 1855 pace for the
last six weeks, while the percentage of
the Giants In that same time was .565.
This superiority has enabled Chicago
to cut the lead from 1411 games to an
even Ave games.

The object in publishing the above
figures is to afford each property owner
reliable proof as to the very small
amount each one will have to pay to-
ward the cost of paving intersections.
1t means that the person owning
home worth One Thousand Dollars will
be obliged to pay only eightyfour cents
each year, for period of ten years, and
after that time, the assessments will
slightly increase in order that the prin-
cipal Indebtedness may be retired, but
within ten or twenty years, Moscow
pi operty should so greatly enhance in
value that the principal Indebtedness of
$4,000 will be retired without increasing
the present rate of taxation.
In view of the excellent pay roll which
will be created locally by this municipal
work and the vast amount of employ
mcnt which will be afforded Moscow

paving companies that fully 70 per cent
of the total contract price is paid out
