ENTERPRISE

R. D. Hume's Gasoline Schoo
' ner Meets With Accident
In Rogue River.
The gasoline schooner, Enterprise,
nrr-nrrtlnir to brief reports received
hom in nn the beach In Rogue river '
,n Poit of nn accident to her ma-
chlnery night before last. The in
juries to the boat are not serious
but will necessitate her being tied
up until new parts can bo secured.
As near as can be ascertained, one
of her gaskets was put out of busi
ness and shd had to be allowed to
float up on the beach. She
about ready to start for Coos
was !
Bav i
with a cargo and had the accident
occurred after she got to sea, It would
have probably meant serious trouble
for the crew.
The Enterprise has only one en
Sine so that any accident to her ma
chinery completely cripples the boat.
At first, It was feared that she had
met a similar fate to the Berwick,
Tt. D. Hume's other boat which
wrecked completely a few months
ago at the mouth of the Siuslaw.

GOOD G
IS
CONTEST
Candidates For The Coos Bay
Times' Prizes Make Good
Showing.
At the end of the first week, the
Rfnnillnir of the cnndld-tes in the
Coos Bay Times' popular voting con
test, shows the contestants to be
pretty close together. The count
shows the vote up to 10 o'clock this
morning.
Thus far. aside from the members
of Doric Chapter No. 53, Order of
the Eastern Star, little systematic
work has been done by any of the
candidates, most of the votes being
turned in by friends. Results in pre
vious contest show that the ones
who begin a systematic canvass of
their friends early stand the best
show of winning as the easiest votes
obtained are those secured before
other candidates have been to see
subscribers or would-be subscribers.
In addition to those secured by the
payment of the subscription, the can
didate lining up the subscriber also
secures the benefit of the coupons
printed daily In The Times.
Thus far, the great majority of
the votes turned in have been those
secured by payment of subscription.
Not many ballots have been turned
In. As over 1,600 are printed daily
by The Times, some of the candidates
have an excellent opportunity to se
cure a large number of votes by ar
ranging to secure these coupons
from subscribers. Care must be
taken that the coupons are turned in
promptly as their value ceases after
they are ten days old.
Beginning Monday, The Times will
print the list of candidates and the
standing dally. This is owing to the
large number votes being turned in
making it difficult to canvass them
only once a week. It will also enable
the candidates to keep closer tab on
their rivals.
There is still time for some en
thusiastic person or organization to
get into the contest and carry off
some of the best prizes, either the
$400 Gabler piano, gold watch, busi
ness college scholarship, library
table or talking machine.
THE WORD "SLIP SKAT" In
chalrology means the seat can be

PROF. II. L. WILLETTS SAYS
THKV SHOULD NOT BE TAUGHT
TO CHILDREN AS FACTS.
CHICAGO, Aug. S. Prof. Herbert
L. Willets, of the Divinity School of
the University of Chicago, who re
cently attacked the Bible miracles
and was in turn grilled by orthodox
ministers, has returned to the fray
again.
"No man ever lived who could per
form a miracle that is, who could
cause a change of God's laws of gov
ernment of the universe," he said.
"The Old Testament miracles as
narrated by Old Testament writers
are chiefly fanciful narratives based
on fact or legend, and should not be
taught children as a literal descrip
tion of facts. You cannot teach
children in school of the unchange
able laws of nature and then teach
them In Sunday school that these
laws are at times broken by God or
His prophets.
"All primitive people are lovers of
the marvelous. Children have their
fairy tales. There are four groupes,
the first evidently based on fact, but
exaggerated. Among these are cross
ing of the Red Sea and the ten
plagues of Egypt.
"The second set are bar.ed on fig
ures of speech which have no fact.
Among them are Joshua commanding
the sun and moon to stand still, and
God raining stones on the Cauranites,
and the Psalmist who tells of moun
tains bowing down and little moun
tains sKlpplng like lambs.
"The third group is legendary, as
the man raised from the dead after
battle and falling In Elisha's tomb,
and the three children of Israel in
tho fiery furnace.
"The fourth group includes those
who violate morals and probability,
such as the destruction of children
by bears at the command of Elisha
and the death of Uzza."
ROVING NEEDLE KILLS GIRL.

sensation that had come over her
Miss VIoletta Bowen, aged sixteen,
died from leakage of the heart.
It is one of the most peculiar cases
that have ever come to the attention
of local phjslcian3. A post-mortem
examination developed that a minute
sharp instrument resembling the
point of a needle had entered her
heart through the arteries.
Frrqucntly during the last few
months Miss Bowen complained of
piercing sensations first in her
hand, then in her forearm, next In
shoulder, and finally In the chest. It
Is believed that the point of a needle
entered her hand and travelled all
the way to the heart.

When you wero out at tea;
"And that you said, 'Yes, If you

When things wero offered you;
Or, 'No, I thank you,' quietly
Just as I told you to."
"Well, mama, dear, I smiled and
said,
'Yes, thank you,' so polito;
And, 'If you please,' and sat up
straight,
And always acted right.
'I didn't say, 'No, thank you,' though,

WEALTHY WIDOW OF LATK FI
NANCIER HEFRIKNDS TRAMP
SHE FOUND IX ROAD.
POUGHKEEPSIE, Aug. 8. Mrs.
Russel Sage visited Pollco Head
quarters in this city on an errand of
mercy. She was in her large auto
mobile with a woman friend. On
tho seat by the side of tho chauffeur
sat a typical hobo.
Chief of Police McCabe went out
to the automobile. Mrs. Sago intro
duced herself and asked to havo the
tramp assisted on his journey to Al
bany. Mrs. Sage and her friend left
Cold Springs, where they are visiting,
to call on President Taylor, at Vas
sar College.
Near Flshklll Landing they saw
the tramp lying by tho roadside. He
said he was Everett Jocelyn, thirty
five, and that he was sick, having
been affected by the heat. Mrs. Sage
ordered her chauffeur to assist the
man into the car and brought him to
this city.
Mrs. Sage asked Chief McCabe
some questions about the Poughkeep
sle and Eastern Railway, a forty-mile
road, from this city to Boston Cor
ners, and that was formerly owned
by Russell Sage and sold since his
death to the New Haven Railroad.
"Is the railroad In operation?"
asked Mrs. Sage. "Oh, yes," replied
the Chief; "and Upton Lake? Do
trains still run there?"
McCabe answered that Upton Lake
s still on the way, twelve miles
from Poughkeepsie.
"You know my husband used to
give an outing every year to the poor
children of Poughkeepsie?" said the
wealthy widow; "now I want you to
do the same thing this summer for
me. Get a special train and take al
tho children you can get out to Up
ton Lake. Give them a big day;
sandwiches, coffee', ice-cream and
fruit, and send mo all the bills."
Mrs. Sage gave the sick tramp $6
and he thanked her with tears in his
eyes. The police put him on a train
for Albany, where Jocelyn says he
has relatives.
Chief McCabe at once began mak
ing arrangements for the free excur
sion for Poughkeepsie boys and girls
