Prohibition Tabled.

Following speeches in favor of the
Anderson substitute by Messrs. Winn
and Anderson, Delegate Hursh yester-
day pleaded for the middle-of-the-road
proposal, declaring the middle-roaders
had no ak to grind and their only de-
sire was to see sensible license
clause submitted, which could be rati-
fed at the polls. In the middle-road
faction leaders are Delegates Hoskins,
Hursh, Cody, Dunlap, Donahey, Tet-
low, Henderson and Norris.
Delegate Halfhill put in as a substi-
tute his proposal making prohibition
and license alternative. He branded
the present no-license clause in real
ity the freest of license provisions,
and said no one had vested right in
the present section A motion to
table prevailed, So to 21. Both rad
ical vets and radical drys gave small
support to Mr.. Halfhill
The extent to which the vets have
lost hold on the convention was
shown when Delegate Winn moved to
table the King substitute, which was
a modified form of the original unre-
stricted license. The vote stood 73 to
35. On previous day the unrestrict-
ed license men mustered so votes.
MIR. Bowdle sought to have the An
derson substitute tabled, but was
voted down, So to IS. Middle-roaders
split on the motion, but a majority
voted with the drys.
Asserting that license is repugnant
to organic law, Mr.. Read sought to
substitute his proposal requiring a
plebiscite every five years to deter
mine the status of the liquor question,
but this was voted down overwhelm-
ingly.

Delegate RiIey's Troubles.

Delegate John H. Riley of Marietta,
who represents Washington county in
the constitutional convention, is not
in the least superstitious, but he is
having lot of vexations in trying to
put through proposal No. 13.
Every time he gets it up for consid-
Grafton and begins a speech ON the
subject the sergeant-at-arms comes
bustling into the room and announces
the arrival of distinguished visitor,
who has come to make an address
and Mr.. Riley has to take second
place.
Three times this has happened to
Mr.. Riley and proposal No. 13. In the
first instance Mr. Riley had just
squared away for his argument when
President Taft reached the capital
His speech--not Taft's-was lost.
Next time he worked the proposal
up to lead place and had started his
talk when in came the announcement
| that Governor Harmon was ready to
talk to the delegates. Last Thursday,
| WucA NIL ICilCJ lcAu JuSI oIdIIOu III
the third time to explain the proposal,
announcement was made that Cover
nor Hiram Johnson of California was
without and waiting to talk on recall
and other live subjects.
Mr.. Riley, big as he is, groaned
with disappointment. 1t was tough
luck. He is. the only man who has
been so interrupted. 1t made some of
the members think No. IS might be a
hard luck number at least
But the three Interruptions are not
all the tough luck for Mr.. Riley. His
proposal provides that nor shall a
witness be questioned touching his
religious belief or lack of it to affect
his credibility." He had hardly got it
in before some one sent out q report
that it knocked God out of the con-
stitution."
Mr.. Riley has had to answer scores
of letters denying this and explaining
it covers point raised last y,ar in
the supreme court that he thought
quite wrong. He says his measure
has had it's full share of hag1 luck

MOONS OF THE UNIVERSE.

Besides Our Own Luna Twenty five
Others Are Known to Exist.
There are in all twenty-five moons
besides our queen of night, Mars hay
ing two, Jupiter eight, Saturn ten. IRA
nus four and Neptune one, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. OF course
new lunar additions are likely to be
discovered at any time, although it is
improbable that Mercury and Venus
have any satellites or that Mars has
more than two
The two known moons of Mars are,
indeed, very minute, neither being over
fifty miles in diameter. On the other
hand, Jupiter's first four satellites. as
well as Ganymede, are each larger
than Queen Luna, Ganymede having a
diameter of about $3.50 miles Titan
of Saturn possesses diameter approx
imating 5000 miles, while that of Nep-
tunes sole satellite is about 1000 miles.
AS respects our own moon, Queen
Luna has only one-forty- the size
and One-eighty-first the weight of our
earth. Luna's distance from us varies
a good deal. from 221, 900 miles to 252,-
600 miles. Her mean or average dis
lance is about 238,OOO miles.

$4,000. Fl. r. Dimock left in his
will legacy of $4,000 for a me-

notice of the legacy changed its name

the association left the matter of the
fereotion of a building to what is
called the "building committee "
That committee. acting in accord with
Mrs Dimock, widow of the donor of
the $50, 900, secured the services of
J.. M. A. Darrach, noted New York
architect. When it came time to
award the contract for the building
it was found that the structure would
| cost $4,000 The members of the
building committee felt that they did
not want to put in more than 81 6, 600

them a fund of $34, 900, the income
of which would take care of the main
tenance of the library. Architect
Darrach could not very we'll alter his
plans to make the $4,000 reduction

HIDDEN HOARDS.
Fortunes Buried or Tucked Away In
WastefuI Neglect.

WastefuI Neglect.
None can estimate the wealth hid
den in the days Of the war between
the states. Down mountain slopes,
across the great plantations and along
the streets Of cities of the south are
trails Of lost fortunes. On the M1ss1s-
sippi river the shanty boaters tell tales
of kettles Of gold coin and money that
were buried in the brakes or revealed
In the caving bank Of the Mississippi
by a cascade of coin rushing down the
crumbling slope into the food. Now
and then some sharp darby appears
with a handful of old gold.
A mathematician might estimate the
quantity of nugget gold hidden by the
placer miners, the loggers, tinkers,
tramps, soIdiers-all the kinds of for
tunes that are tucked away in useless
and wasteful neglect in all parts of
the country-in stockings, mattresses,
old clothes, garrets, cellars, hollow
trees, novels, mansions, caches of des-
peradoes and hidings of foreigners. If
only one in 10000 hides 500 that is
never found, and in every village and
town the proportion Is larger, among
farmers and back country people much
larger, the loss will amount to $780,
600. The chances are that there is q
hundred million dollars of hidden for
tunes in this country now-gold, sill,
yer, precious stones and paper wealth
Many a farm, many a city property,
goes into neglect and decay because
the heirs never knew of it.-Raymond
