CATS TALES WILL
NOT BEAR THE LIGHT.
One Of Cats Palatka Sto-
rieS Shown to be a Base
FalSehOOd.

AT his meeting In this city early in
the present month, Rev. Sidney j.
Cats, in his efforts to arouse preju-
dices of a religious nature and in
open defiance of democratic principles
and the democratic platform, intimat-
ed that the election of Mr.. Knott
meant Catholic rule in Florida" Mr..
Cats, in order to illustrate his point,
then drew the following word picture
of conditions in Pensacola, where he
alleged, Catholics run things:"
Pensacola said Mr.. Cats, "is run
by the Catholics, who have caused the
passage of ordinances forbidding
prayer or any sacred music in the
public schools" He said that eff
young lady teacher should open
school by singing such old favorite
and standard hymns as Nearer My
God, To Thee Rock Of Ages ETC.,
she would be PROMPTLY arrested and
fined $25 and COSTS" Mr.. Cats
dwelt at some length on this SUBJ
ject, quoting a number of religious
hymns that were familiar, and which,
should an attempt be made in the Pen
sacola schools to sing them, would be
met with an instant fine of $25 and
costs.
The story was of course preposter-
Gus, and yet there are many people
here in this city who heard Mr.. Cats
make the statement that night who
implicitly believe it.
But it didn't strike all in that way
not by long shot. One gentleman
who was present and heard it, and
who by the way is prominent protes-
tant church worker in Palatka, has
taken trouble to find out the TRUTH
He wrote to Hon. John B. Jones, City
Attorney of Pensacola, concerning the
matter. The folloWlg is MIR. Jones

Palatka, Fla.
Dear SIR
duly received your letter of the
9Th inst, stating that "the Honorable
Sidney J. Cats, candidate for Cover
nor. in a speech here some few nights
since, told his auditors that the Of
fering of a prayer or the singing of
a hymn or any devotional exercises
at all in the public schools of Pen.
sacola was punishable with fine of
$780," and requesting me to advise
YOU "whether or not Mr.. Cats is right
in his statement, or slightly mlsin-
formed"
The City of Pensacola has no sucn
ordinance, and has never attempted
to impose any such penalty, or to in
terfere with the affairs of the public
schools in such manner as Mr.. Cats
is alleged to have stated,
Yours very truly,

PHILLIPS GET YOUNG
 LEFTY KANTLEHNER
 FROM PITTSBURG CLUB

Pittsburgh, Sept. 1S-Irving Kant lehner, left-handed pitcher of the Pi- rates, has been sold to the champion Philles, it was learned yesterday. Kantlehner will report to Pat Moran at once This sale may have a direct bearing on the outcome of the Ma tional Leagues most exciting race. Eppa Rixey, who has helped Alex ander keep the Phillies close to the front this season, is the only depend able southpaw on the staff of Moran.
 It is expected that the champion ship will be decided the last week of the season. Philadelphia still owes one series in Brooklyn, and closes the season at home with - the Braves. Brooklyn and Boston are two clubs that dislike 1eft-handers.

ERTlE CLAIMS HE ISN'T SIDE STEPPING
 TOUGH OPPONENTS

New York, Sept. 1S--Lttle Johnny Ertle says that it is not his fault that he has not defended the bantam title against any of the good men. These fellows are all shouting that they want to fight me because they have all to gain and nothing to lose," said the St. Paul midget Not one of them has heen able to dig up promoter who is willing to offer anything like a cham pionship purse.
 Tt is not true that I am sidestep- ping any one Of course I want more money to tackle the good ones than for meeting some of the lesser lights. but I'm never unreasonable in my de- mands. The trouble is they want me to take part in championship fights with the only real con .nders for a couple of hundred dollars. Any time they show me the money will sign articles with any one who can make 116 pounds.
 Tt is not true that I have refused an offer of $2,0O0 to meet Kid Will Hams as he has given out The truth of that matter is that I was offered
 -,yyo to meet Williams and I &C.,
 t e... Williams absolutely refused sign articles. Williams can't make 116 pounds, anyway. He's not a ban. tam and he knows it. He ought to be fighting Johnny Kilbane. He would too, only he knows that he hasn't got a chance with Kilbane."
