Boston, Mass., Sept. 8. The ap pearance of Governor Harmcft of Ohio here toniorrow as the guest of honor and chief speaker at a barbecue outing to be given by the Democratic organization of Boston has returned considerable interest in political cir cles in New England. It will be the first sPeach that the Ohio governor has delivered in the East since he I loomed up prominently as a president. ial candidate. The fact that the Massachusetts are mentioned in con. nection with the Democratic nomina tion for vice president, lends addi tional interest to the Harmon visit. The politicians take the view that if either Baldwin or Foss s to be sup ported by New England for second place on the Democratic ticket, as is intimated, a Western candidate for first place might naturally be expect ed to enjoy an advantage in this sec tion over Governor Wilson of New Jersey, the nomination of whom for president . would probably be followed by the seletin of a Western man for vice president. - v .

FOOLISH QUESTI05 NO, 1.437,6. "Hello, broke down?" The gasoline motor car of the Lau. el Park Street Railway was being giv en a try-but the other day, when for some-unexplained reason it balked and stopped. Ranee Rhodes wag busy examining the inward mysteries cf the car. The space in which he wag at work was cramped and so wag Ranee. The engine was hot also was Ranee. The sweat of his brow stood out In large size and glistening globules and he wag almost exasperated when the driver of a passing wagon stopped his steed close to the car, and leaning comfortably back in his seat pre pared to converse with the irate engi neer. "Hello, broke Vownr' ' ' ' Arising from his uncomfortable position Ranee leaned over towards his would-be questioner, Shaking a huge and oily fist in hiB face, he said: "Broke down? You blankety-blank-blank idiot! Doe it look as though we were broke down? Naw, w aint broke down I Just stopped to manicure my nails you-?!!" But the driver rag lest in a cloud of dust in the far distance, and as the burly engineer resumed hfs In vestigations hiB . rumblings and re marks caused the engine to start of its own accord, and in a few minutes he, too was on his way. . - CERTAINLY NOT THE IIENDER SONTILLE KIND . The New York young man who wrote the mayor of Denver that he didn't like New York girls and want ed a Denver girl recommended evi dently has never- met the North Carolina kind Charlotte Observer. street merchant. Leaving his sick wife, absolutely penniless, with their three-year-old babe so ill that It may not recover. with two other children in a home empty of bare necessltleg of Hfe sire what the charity of neighbors places there, A. H. Daniel, a Main street merchant has disappeared from hit home and business. His wife sayg he hat deserted her left her In the middle of the night, taking his clotheg and what cash he had, leaving her without a penny in the world, without a day's food In the house with which to still the cries for bread of their children. The babe in lt8 coU sick almost onto death, appealed not to 1U father, ald the stricken wife, ag she rocked back and forth on the porch of the humble borne on Aspen street, moaning her fitter sorrow to sympathetic neigh bors who sought vainly to comfort her. , "He's gone and left me gtranger, jrithout a cent in the world and wlCi .he little one in yonder so sick I lon't know If hell live or die. I've cen glck In bed all Summer mseIC tnd I'm hardly able to set up now. C.n't know what I'm going lo do ! don't know what I'm going to do. 4 ay be God will find me fricodv X r.n only trust In Him. I'm uQit! fj vork. I can hardly stand alon uiul sure do need help." She looked it. A pathetic figure, truly-weak, wan and tired with two 'ittle tots pulling her skirts snd the lttlest one in lt8 crib moaning feebly. She did - not look much able to Ight for bread and yet she needs it. She needs It the children need it need it right now. It ls a matter worthy of prompt in vestigation on the part of the chari tably inclined people of Hendergon rllle Mrg Daniel would hare her hugband brought back by process of law, she says. If she knew what gtepg to take. But she Is very 111 hergelf ,he certainly does look It and there'g the little one in Its ' crib nd the others as well. Mrs. Daniel lives on Aspen gtreet two blocks from Main street. The firm of Daniel Bros., of which ber husband was a member, has been closed by the sheriff on attachment proceedings (instituted by Calhoun Wilking Co. The whereabouts Mr. Daniel is unknown. of To be convinced that the summer season is not yet drawing to a clog and that there are still hundreJg of visitors in the city one would only have to visit the Palace Theater at the afternoon and evening perfor mance and see the throngg of people crowding this popular pleasure house. The pictures and music last even ing were more than your money's worth of pleasure. Manager Catron hag won the hearts of the pleasure goers in producing 'n this city one of the best electric theaters to be found anywhere. Not even for one performance hag ' be has in the least disappointed his au dience. Both the old and the young rather at the Palace In the etentng. The program this evening promises to be fine. The Picture o& lbs Screen lg perhaps one of the most interesting of ltg kind on the circuit. It is here that you get an Inside view 3f how the famous motion pictures are secured. It will be pointed out clearly how they are made. The War rent lg purely a western picture showing magnificent sceneries of the Rockies, (only to be surpassed by those 1" zzZ around Hendersonvtlls.)
