Reckless Auto Driving.

With the opening of the section
of State road between Rising Sun
and Harrisville on Saturday, motor
lists began Immediately to abuse
their privilege by an utter disre-
gard Of all speed laws, with the re-
suit that two accidents happened in
the afternoon, one of them serious,
through reckless driving. In one of
the accidents a Chevrolet roadster,
occupied by man, his wife and
little three-year-old child, was run
into by speed fiend, the little child
being thrown completely through
the windshield and badly cut about
the head and legs. The roadster
was wrecked, while the reckless
driver and his machine escaped with
hardly a scratch, as is generally the
case. 1t is likely lawsuit will be
the outgrowth of this inexcusable
accident.
Another case of reckless driving
was that of Tuesday afternoon, when
the big car owned by Saml. L. Sew
all, treasurer of the Minneapolis
Iron Store Co., Minneapolis, Mime
sofa. ran into the car of Clinton
Logan, Of Greenhurst, at the corner
of Wilson avenue and Main street.
Mr.. Logan's car had a fender torn
off of it and was otherwise damaged.
Bailiff Britton placed Mr.. Sewall
under arrest and he was fined $500
and costs by Magistrate Nichols for
reckless driving. Mr.. Logan was
also fined $500 and costs for failing
to observe the rule of road and sig
nal his intention of turning into
another street.

Traffic Over State Road.

The recently completed Rising
Sun-Harrisville section of State road
was thrown open to traffic on Sat
urday last, and the first person to
travel over it in an auto, (after it
was opened) was ]. D. Donache of
this town. Mr.. Donache also lays
claim to the distinction of being the
first person to cross COnowingo
bridge in 1909, when the bridge was
rebuilt after having been partially
destroyed by fire.
Smoe idea of the extent of traffic
over the new road is shown from the
fact that by actual count on Sunday
last between the hours of 6 a. m.
and p. m. 876 motor vehicles pas
sed over it here. Tally was kept on
the traffic up to 8 p. m. the total
number passing between a. m. and
p. m. being 1905. Up to noon but
200 machines had passed, but in the
afternoon there was almost con-
slant stream of autos going and
coming.

BASE BALL.
Perryville Shut Out.

With Finn, the clever southpaw at
his best on Saturday afternoon last,
Perryville was not only defeated in
the game on the local grounds, but
was shut out. The kind of ball that
Finn pitched is shown from the fact
that the Perryville boys could get
but one safe hit off his delivery.
Alexander, on the other hand, was
given his bumps and was compelled
to retire in the second inning after
two three-base hits and two singles
had been scored off him and four
runs had crossed the plate in that
inning. Newswanger, who took his
place, put a stop to the batting rally
and allowed but two more safe hits
during the game.
Finn in addition to pitching an air
tight game carried off batting honors
with two three-base and one two
base hit. Altogether it was a great
day for the premier spit-ball artist.
The Perryville boys in addition to
being weak at bat did not put up
their usual fast game in the field,
Regan at first making some giaring
errors. Alexander, after going to
left field, made a sensational one
hand catch that won him applause.
Potts work back of the bat was of
high order, handling his pitcher in
superb style. The score:

Presbytery, was held in Rock
Church, near Providence, this coun
ty, Oct. A and 5.
The squabble in Elkton Presby'
terian Church, that has been or

the result of an attempt to oust the
Rev. Mr.. McElmoyle from the pas.
torate of the church, who refuses tt
"oust," had further airing.
At present the church has two sets
of elders and when the roll was call
ed, w. Sterling Evans claimed the
right to represent the church. Their
Mr.. McElmoyle reported M. r. GilpiI
as the church's present representa-
tive. Mr.. Evans, who has been com
batting Rev. DR.. John McElmoyle
was removed as elder year ago ant
at a congregational meeting Mr.
Gilpin was chosen to fill the vacancy.
When the two elders had been re
ported the Presbytery appointed {
special committee to hear both sides
and report. H. M. Mccullough, at
torney, counsel for Mr.. Evans, claim
ed that Mr.. Gilpin's election TO the
eldership was illegal and that his
client, Mr.. Evans, was the bona fide
elder of the church. c. B. Finley,
attorney, counsel for Mr.. Gilpin, con
tended that Mr.. Evans had not been
in the church for more than two
years and did not support the churcl
financially, and that by his absence
from the church for that length OF
time his right, as an elder was null!
and void.
The special committee reported
that. Mr.. Evans was the legal elder
of the Elkton church and was recog
nized as such. At the same time il
was set forth that the election of Mr.
M. r. Gilpin as elder, was illegal
Then Mr.. Evans claim was recog-
nized. The matter will be carried to
the Presbyterian Synod which meets
in Baltimore, shortly, along with the
appeal of Rev. John McElmoyle.

OXFORD MOVES FORWARD.

The decision of Oxford univer-
sity not to require the study of
ancient Greek hereafter is a step
forward Few American universe
ties retain dead languages in their
curriculum as compulsory studies
for all students. But it was a more
difHcuit matter for conservative
old oxford to break with the tradi-
tons. That it has done 50 may be
taken as a convincing token that
the renaissance in education is well
under way.
For centuries the higher institu-
tons of learning have chung to the
educational usages of the Middle
Ages, when Latin and Greek were
the universal languages of scholars
and the classics of antiquity were
regarded as the books most worthy
of study. Unquestionably the study
of dead languages has contributed
to the advancement of civilization.
But the world has now reached Il
point where other things are more
worth while.
The modern spirit Of independ-
ence, which has led nations to dis
card antiquated systems of govern
ment in favor Of forms better
adapted to the new conditions, IS
also being felt in the educational
world Methods and subjects of
instruction no longer are respected
for the sole reason that they are
traditionaryi value is the para
mount consideration.
The relegation of Latin and
Greek to subordinate places in the
curriculum has been revolutionary.
But the revolution has not yet run
its course. The next decade or two
will see other changes equally fun

THE HOTENHOLLERN STATUS

1t having been settled that Fol-
land will not surrender William
Hohenzollern to the entente allies
for trial, nor bundle him off, a
prisoner, to some remote island,
the former kaiser will be of in
terest only to the extent that the
German people are interested in
him. For the moment even the
old gang that has taken Berlin
deny they want him at home. The
explanation of that probably is to
be found in the provorbal law of
self preservation. The German
people are occupied with the press
ing business of establishing
themselves commercially and in
dustrially with making their living.
Within reasonable time, though,
there will be an easing of this pres
sure and political divisions among
the people will become sharper.
When that takes place there will
be a disclosure of how much of
menace to the general peace the
Hohenzollern's presence in Europe
is. With the eX-emperor just
across the frontier he may become
disturbing political influence.
In the reign of william the world
was constantly hearing of the ar
rogance of the Prussian militarists.
According to the stories told, the
average civilian scarcely dared to
call his soul his own. The right of
way belonged to members Of the
military caste everywhere. Army
officers were the salt of the earth,
a. theory which the kaiser exploit
ed on every convenient occasion.
Kind-hearted persons, who were
always drawing a distinction be-
tween the German people and their
rulers, told us that the former
were eager to cast off their yoke
and were looking TO the allies for
their liberation. If the German ma
ture has changed to any consider
able degree, it has not been APP
parent to the naked eye. Evidence
of this was furnished by the re-
fusal of the German people to give
M offenders to the allies for trial
by the Germans treatment of their
written promises as a scrap of
manor

along with Wagner opera and

French novelist Balzac presents
some of his most interesting Wom-
en- characters as being Of rotund
proportions he indicates in THE
Lily of the Valley" his preference
for what he calls the flat figure.
"A round figure is sign of
strength" he says; "but women
who are built so are imperious,
willful and, voluptuous rather than
tender. Women who are flatly
formed are, on the contrary, self
sacrificing, full of refinement, and
inclined to melancholy; they arc
more thoroughly women. A flat
figure is soft and supple; a full one
is rigid and jealous.
