The First Red Cross.

The original Red Cross society dates
back from long before the Geneva
convention. Just 800 years ago an
anonymous German work, which ap-
peared at Cassel, called upon the
learned to join and test the claims
of the Rosicrucian order, said to have
been founded two centuries before
that by one Christian Rosenkrenz,
who had gained his mysterious knowl-
edge in the East The order was
Christian and Protestant, and al.
though it professed to possess many
secrets, including that Of making gold,
it's chief object was the gratuitous
healing of the sick. A tremendous
controversy arose, the order being vio-
lently assailed as heretical and as
violently defended by the broader
minded or more credulous. The whole
story appears to have been a trium-
phant German university spool.

PRIMARY IN
new YORK
PROCEEDS
By United Press.

BY United Press.
New York, Sept 2S.-The Empire
state is voting in its first primary
election today. Both parties expect
a record vote. Two factors are count
ed to influence more voters than usual
to the polls first curiosity to see the
workings of the new state wide pri
mary and second the division In the
political parties themselves.
There are seven guiernatorial can
didates whose names appear on to
days ballots Martin H. Glyn, seeking
reelection on the Democratic ticket;
John A. Hennessy, Harvey d. Hinman
Republicans; Job f. Hedges, Republi
can; Charles ID. Whitman, Republican
William Salzer, candidate on the Pro
hibition and Washington party tickets;
Frederick Davenport, Progressive.
The senatorial candidate include:
James W. Wadsworth, jr. William NJ
Calder and David Jayne Hill, Republi
cans: James NJ. Gerard, Democrat and
cambridge Colby, Progressive
With the multiplicity Of candidate
for state offices and senatorial and
congressional places, the ballot today
was unusually large.
The Empire state vote under the pri
mary law will be watched by polite
ians the country over The Republl
cans claim the primary law is cifec-
tive. The Progressives in their "con
ference" so far departed frmo its sup.
posed prohibition spirit against the
various parties selecting candidates, as
to choose the most Of their ticket. The
law provides for conferences Of the
parties at which platforms may Le
adopted. The Republicans and Demo
Gratis held such conferences at Sara
toga late in August and the Progress
siyes met at Utica.
There is strife in all three parties
Republicans, Democrats and Progress
sives. The Republicans are divided in
to the Barnes and anti-Barnes camps
the Democrats split on the Tammany
ism: the Progressives are more or less
divided on the wisdom OF the fla;
steam roller methods used at Utica to
squelch the plans Of friends Of Will
liam Sulzer to have him run as the
Progressive candidate.

Where? The county judges office in
the court house?
After procuring the necessary in
formation, the groom sat on his chair
uneasily, twisting from side to side
and twirling his hat in his hands.
Judge Bailey surmised that the cause
for such embarrassment was due to the
occasion.

groom, 81 reckon if a feller don't know,
the best way for him to find out is to
ask, amt it?"
Il know of no surer way to obtain
information replied the Judge, think
