The Hamilton police took a Knapp and found thu charges against him were no dream. And now it looks as if the fellow could not help falling asleep in an cleetric chair.

Ha mm, presiding pro tern, in the police court, proved a veritable Portia of justice. First comes the mayor, gram' jury, then Judge Hunna--and a them the deluge. The police shouk Mayor Bookwalter went to Toledo to the operation of an asphalt repairing machine and it exploded. He threw his arm OUT his eyes in time to save them from injury, but he has a new suit of clothes due from the city of Toledo. The recent congress which has just adjourned reduced the appropriation for the army disproof of imperialism--but increased the rural free delivery $0,000,000, with a total increase in the appropriation for the mail service of $54,000,000.

This is greater sum than the entire mail service cost prior to and shows the growth of the country. The appropriations made include to purchase the Panama canal. These large appropriations show why the total amount appropriated is larger than ever before. The Beecher memorial meeting yesterday in Brooklyn was addressed by Mr. Cleveland, Itev.

Dr. Hillis, pastor now of the church in which the great orator preached, Justice Brewer, of the supreme court, and others. The purpose was to start a imnement for the to build a suitable memorial to Beecher. His name is to receive this national i in token of its esteem of Beecher's contribution to human liberty and world's i It is proposed a the site of the present I'hmouth church and the block on which it is situated be cleared of all buildings and laid out as a park for the bite of the statue or memorial. The York correspondent of the Cincinnati Kmpiirer caught James of one of the new owners of the Fort Wayne Traction company, and widely known in this stall's politics, as a democrat and drew him i an interview about the next presidential election.

Being asked whether Indiana democrats would support Hill, of York, he said: "I wonder Hill is back of all the a about himself for presidency He certainly cannot be. I' look upon Duve Hill as a very able man (uiil-ji very shrewd politician. I have known him a long time, and Mould liku to him honored in every possible way. But he must know that there is no chance at this time for a democrat. So long as nre kept busily employed as they are, the republican party will get the credit for it, and will win on that alone i i change, which, of course, they will." "Do you i the opposition to Roosevelt will undo him for presidential i a i was a'sked.

"There is no opposition to Roosevelt a a to any fhjnig," Mr. Murdock. "That is. jy io Yprosit ion in his own til a I contits for am thing. Some politicians a not like him, but flic people of his party i soon enough make them understand a is a of them, and they i be for Roosevelt good and hard the right i comes.

Why, my dear sir. you couldn't get a corporal's a of republicans in my state nor in Ohio to oppo.se Teddy. Republicans are not opposed to Roosevelt. Some Xew Yorkers may be. but in the great and count of noses they i a to nothing.

Roosevelt will walk away from all the schemers in his party who would like to bring about his defeat, and, in my opinion, he i prove an easy i in the republican convention." Mr. Robinson shows the old democratic opposition to a surplus, in his i i i i in the Jour- There is, he says, a surplus of $400.000.000, owing to present tariff law, of which the a i a banks have on S140.000.000. He ob.je'-ts to business world having access to i moiiev because the a i a banks may profit some from it. Here's a sign of Bryan democracy, and Mr. Robinson assumes a he represents the people of i district.

Against a surplus, against the a i a banks--he is also against the right of the house of representatives to transact business, and lines up with the legislative blackmailer from South Carolina in favor of rules' which will match those a cur.se tjie senate. In his remarks to a Xews representative Friday he denounced the Reed rules. It is a fa- i feature of every interview and speech, but elicits no response from the people. The people of the country a the house to be able to transact business and are content a the majority shall both iegislat and take the responsibility for the bills passed. If Mr.

From sermon by William Bradford Dickson. Ah, the true heart: Time creates no ravage therein, and works no change, save to enlarge its borders. Only is "love the greatest thing in the world" -when it reaches its zenith of magnitude and blesses the greatest number. Still loyal to its early loves and friendships, throwing over them a sweat and hallowed mantle, the great and noble heart o'ersteos the boundaries of past and present, projecting its benign sunshine into the unfolding future. Thus will the world be leavened with the softening dawn of love, and the kingdom of heaven shall reign in the affections of all mankind.
