Rochester, n. Y, resemble his wife,

MAN
Puts Women To Shame As
Prize NGedIeWOrk Artist

St Clairsville, o., Sept. 15--Women
of three states have been working to
save their fast fading reputation with
the needle. John Mcbride, a Barton
mine machinist, has so far outclassed
the women of this part of the state in
embroidering that outside help was
called in an effort to regain laurels
lost three successive years at the Bel.
mont county fair.
The annual affair will open Tues.
day, and in competition with Nc
Brides embroidery will be work from
eastern Ohio, northwest Virginia and
western Pennsylvania.
Mcbride last year won loving cup
for having for three successive years
won first place against the embroider.
ed efforts of women. The machinist
is the despair of the feminine exhibi.
tors. His needlework is in a class by
itself, and apparently no woman is
able to reach his plane of dexterity,
although mighty efforts have been
made.

BILE, and that he desired to make ap-
plication for membership, not by let
ter, but by statement, or confession.
Mr.. Francis stated that in the In;
terest of peace and harmony he de-
sired to worship once more among the
people he had served, that there was
nothing he could add to or take from
his statement to the board OF stew
ards, that he was truly sorry for an act
which he had unwittingly and unwill-
ingly done on the impulse of the mo-
ment, and that as the parties most ag-
grieved harbored no ill-feeling, he
wanted the congregation to help him,
just as he wanted it to know that he
was truly repentant.
The earnest manner in which he
spoke made deep impression, many
of his close personal friends being
touched, with no word or indication
of disapproval on the part of those
who had led the fight for his dismis-
sal. When Mr.. Francis sat down Ell
der Grow asked the members if there
was anything they desired to say or
do. Instantly there was motion that
Mr.. Francis, be received again as a
member. The motion was promptly
seconded, standing vote was called
for, and as near as it could be esti-

Mr.. Francis said last night that he
was highly gratified by the spirit of
friendship shown by his former men,
bers, adding that hereafter he would
attend services at the Third Christian,
feeling that he was no longer without
church friends or affiliations.
Although the Third Christian is still
without pastor, the question of ex-
tending a call to Mr.. Francis has not
friends say that he could not and
would not accept, and he is anxious
for the congregation to know that he
is in no wise candidate. He is nego-
tiating with commercial establish
ment, and if he does not succeed in
obtaining the position he is seeking
in Richmond he will take up work
which will require his absence from
the city. He is desirous. however. of
remaining here.
Some weeks ago a member of the
church who was charged with having
disseminated former accusation
against the pastor was dropped from
the church roll. He has not been re-
instated. However, the reinstatement
of Mr.. Francis means that the old
troubles have been adjusted, and mem
bers look forward to the utmost har-
mony in all church matters.

won the game for the Eagles over the
Moose Sunday afternoon at Riverside
park by to score. The teams
have won one game each and now, in
spite of the overwhelming defeat of
the Eagles one week ago, it is be-
lieved that the series will result in
several fine ball games. The interest
in the series has been restored and
the fans will all turn out for the next
game.
Horns pitching was extremely
good. In fact it was so good that the
Moose batters connected safely Off
his delivery only three times during
the entire nine innings. Not only
were they unable to connect safely,
but in sixteen instances they were
unable to connect at all.
Although the game was scheduled
for $3.50 o'clock it was not called un-
til $40 o'clock and was then dragged
along very slowly. Had the contest
not been so close and exciting the
spectators, numbering about three
thousand, would have been driven
from the park by the cold weather.
In the final innings it grew SO dark
that the speedily pitched balls could
not be accurately seen by the batters.
Nearly everybody seemed satisfied
with the result, however, and next
Sunday afternoon will be looked for
ward to with eagerness.
The Eagles scored in the opening
session. Taylor walked Darling and
Richardson sacrificed. Smith struck
out. Barre was safe when Beeman
failed to handle his fast grounder and
Darling scored. Horn walked, but
Parnell popped to Critchfield.
The Eagles scored again in. the
second. Reil fouled to Popham. Pei
ton walked and was forced by Mills
who stole second. Darling walked
and Richardson doubled to right-cen-
ter scoring Mills. Smith grounded
out, Popejoy to Mondron.
In the eighth the Eagles won the
game. Tanner singled and scored on
Reil's two base hit. After Pelton and
Mills had bee retired Darling singled
and Reil scored.
The Moose started their scoring in
the third. Householder struck out.
Maxwell walked and stole second. In
an attempt to nip him at the second
sack Pelton threw badly and the ball
rolled to deep center, the outfielders
failing to back the throw. Maxwell
scored.
The Moose secured another in the
fourth. Popejoy flied to Barre. Sulli-
van struck out. Crtchfield was hit
by pitched ball and stole second and
third. He scored on a wild pitch.
The last Moose run came in the
fifth. Householder struck out. Max
we'll was safe when Daring juggled
his roller to third. Tiger doubled into
the crowd in left field and was held
on second while Maxwell was allowed
to go no farther than third. He
scored moment later on 'Popham's
out, Smith to Mills.
The score.

What Makes Flowers Blue.

Of all the many substances that are combined to make flower, what . is the particular one to which is due the red, blue or yellow color? Why, for example, are gentians blue and roses red, and why has no one ever seen a red gentian or a blue rose! The chemist can tell us. Taking the plants that produce really blue-not violet-flowers, he considers which of their constituents is peculiar to them. True blue exists in veronicas, salvias, verbenas, basil, solanum, penstemon. nemophila. convovulus, borage, hounds tongue and in all the orders allied to the Gentianacea and Com positae. but never in lupins, vetches, peas, geraniums, hollyhocks, primu. las, roses, balsams, flax. etc All the blue-producing plants just named have tanrin in them which does not exist in the others. This is called caffetan min. It is found in coffee, but not in tea. Tea contains another form of tannin which is the same as that which makes camellias red

Jack, in his frenzy at the sight of the snake, strikes at it with a heavy paper cutter and hits the child on the head, felling it to the floor. Crazed by his act, he fees to the woods.

LARGE CROWD IS IN ATTEND. ANCE AT GRIDIRON BATTLE
 THIS AFTERNOON.

With Old Sol doing his utmost to make the day ideal for gridiron bat tie, "Ole Miss" from Oxford, Miss, and the Hendrix Bulldogs are this afternoon engaged in one of the fiercest football games ever played in this state The crowd which is in at tendance is said to be the largest ever seen at an athletic event in this city. While the weather is a trifle warm for the players, it is ideal for the spectators, hence the large attend ance.
 Coach Bill Driver and his crew of IS gridders arrived this morning, ev- cry man being in fine fettle for the contest. The bunch will outweigh Hendrix about 15 pounds to the man. which is very severe handicap. However, as Hendrix has the advan- tage of playing on her home lot, as well as most all of the rooters, this obstacle will be somewhat less than it might otherwise be.
 Among the out-of-town visitors to the game this afternoon are T. P. Murrey and Geo. R. Brown of Little Rock, members of the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce committee on athletics. There are also present scouts from Philadelphia, who are here to get line on the Mississippi aggregation.

(From the Morrilton Headlight)
 What IS thought to be the largest shipment of strawberry plants sent out from Arkansas is being made this week from this point to Carrizzo Springs, Tex. The Conway County Horticultural Association has a con- tract with company of promoters in the Texas town for one million plants and four carloads have already been billed out. G. L. Mayes, who has charge of the business here, left last Thursday with the tlrst carload of plants and will remain at Carizzo Springs until they are distributed to the growers. Something like 100000 plants are being sent in the cars as the Klondyke plants here are unusu- ally large this season. This will bring into the county, through the associa- tion, large sum of money, making strawberries pay twice in the year.
 When B. c. Balch, the dairyman, had his handbook balanced the first of the month, it came to light that a check for the sum of $3 he had given sign painter for some work, had been raised to $13 and cashed. The painter was a young fellow giving the name of T. R. Henderson and claimed that he came from Russell vile. He had done some work for local parties here, but so far the check given him by Mr. Balch is the only one known to have been raised. The whereabouts of the man is un- known, as he had been gone nearly a month before the trick was discov- cred.
