LONDON, Sept. 12.—Declaring that
the objectors to the big Catholic pa-
rade which takes place tomorrow
lacked Influence, Cardinal Gibbon*’to
day, said:
"No religious ceremonies I have ever
witnessed Impressed me so forcibly as
those of this eucharlstlc congress. The
great public meeting at Albert' hall
Thursday night was a revelation. It
could not .have been surpassed In any
country in the world for spontaneous
enthusiasm. It was to me a remark
able revelation of the devotion of the
English Catholic.

of the party appeared, and received
tremendous cheers.
The party alignment of the throng
wae again shown when the first apeak-
»r, riarence Sheam, of New York, In
nis epeech of notification to Mr. Graves
dted "Joe" Brown as an example of
*hat he termed the "third-rate poli
ticians" of the Democratic party, and
wts forced to discontinue while the au
ditorium rang with cheers for the
speaker.
Notable Speakers.
The occasion was made noteworthy,
not only by reason of the fact, that It
wts the formal notification of a South
ern man—a Georgian—of hla selection
is one of the standard-bearers of the
Independence , party, but by the ap
pearance of William Randolph Hearat,
the editor of many papers and founder
of the party, and by the appearance of
Thomas L. Hlsgen, the nominee (or the
presidency, Yancey Carter, tidmlnee for
governor, and Clarence Shearn, the fa
mous anti-trust lawyer of New York.
All delivered addressee, all were
heard attentively, and greeted enthusl-
utlcally. During the course of the
evening there were one or two cries for
Bryan or Brown, but the person who
yelled was promptly hooted down.
No sensation was sprung at the
meeting, unless.lt waa the statement
made by Mr. Hearst that four months
ego William Jennings Bryan ap-
preached him with the proposition that
If he (Hearst) would support him (Bry-
sn) this time, he (Bryan) would Slip
port him (Hearst) next time.
"I turned the proposition down
promptly." said Mr. Hearst. "A man
who places his politics on the high
plane of principle 'can not reduce his
politics to the low level of a horse
tride.”
Carter Was There.
The appearance of Yancey Carter,
nominee for governor, late In tt)e even
ing, was the signal for prolonged
chfers. Mr.. Carter had been. Ill sev-
I days, and It ha<V been reported
;t he would not .appear at the nott-
itlon. and that thla would be one
of of a spilt between the state and
tlonal organtzatlone of the Independ
ents party. :
•He came In time tb deliver the .con
cluding address and waa Introduced by
Colonel Graven.
"At the cost .of great physical suffer
ing," said Colonel Graves, "Mr. Carter
has come out to refute by hi* presence
the Imputation that the state party
IMders are not In co-operation with the
national organization.”
Mr. Carter spoke only a few minutes,
laying he was physically . unable to
mark the beginning, of a truly great
Catholic reunion. Catholics not only
In England, but everywhere the Eng
lish language la spoken will gain new
fervor.
“The congress has been treated ad
mirably by the English press, which
throughout has' been fair minded. That
section of .the English people that are
protesting against Its crowning act, the
procession of the host,'mn Sunday are
not, ao far as I can make out, support
ed by any weight of Influence."
After the procession Sunday Cardi
nal Gibbons will go to the' Duka of
Norfolk's country seat, Arundel Cas
tle, Sussex, where a great garden party,
will be given Monday.
On Tuesday he' will go to Ireland as
the guest of Archbishop Tuam. He will
sail for home from Queenstown on
October 1. .
I Three thousand police and soldiers
will guard the route of the Catholic
dtgnatarlee In parade tomorrow. The
Protestant alliance was unable to- get
an Injunction preventing the eucharlst
march. Any attempt at violence will
be’ met with police charges, declared
the authorities this morning.

Hearst Is Applauded
Probably the most prolonged applause
of the evening was given William
Randolph Hearst as he arose to speak.
Mr. Hearst began by explaining why
he had broken away from Bryan and
the Democratic party. He tojd of the
great losses he and his papers suffered
by the support of Bryan In 1898 and
again In 1900.
,"Hs and Parker formed a compact In
i 90«," said Mr. Hearst. "Bryan haulsd
own his flag, and It was then I re
fused further to follow him as a lead
er.”
He denounced Bryan a* a political
shop-lifter, who runs out of the ptote
crying. "Stop, thief:" the peerless pres
tidigitator of modern politics; the
showman at the county fair working
the three-shell game, with,free ellver
disappearing from under the first shell,
municipal ownership disappearing from
under the second shell, and the Ini-,
tlailve and referendum disappearing
from under the third shell; the modem
showman and' more—the whole show;
the political ventriloquist; the political
contortionist, who can stand on his
head with as great ease and facility
as he can stand on his feet; the po
litical'Juggler, who can balance Bel
mont, the strike-breaker. In one hand,
and Gompers,' the labor leader, on the
other; the political ostrich; the politi
cal loose-skinned man,-who can turn
around In his own skin, so that one
can not tell' whether he la coming or
going.
"I will follow the Democracy of Jef
ferson and Jackson and Lincoln,” he
said In conclusion, "and I will follow
the true Democracy of Hlsgen and
Graves, but I will not follow the Dem-
ocratio duplicity of the bought and the
bribed!" .
Hisgen Praises Graves.
Mr. Hlsgen was next Introduced, and
he delivered a short talk, in which he
praised highly the qualities of Mr.
Graves, saying he agreed with the man
who' had told him the Independence
party had made a mlatake In not put
ting Graves at the head of the ticket.
He said ,the people were' tired of
promisee end promises, of talk, arid
talk, and talk, and wanted a sound
business administration. He promised
his best efforts. If elected, to putting
all the “high-class criminals” In Jail.
Mr Clapp announced at the conclu
sion of Mr. Carter's short talk that the
leaders would speak at Thomaavtlte
Saturday afternoon and at Albany Sat.
unlay evening.
Carter Is Cheered.
The great audience cheered Mr. Car.
or wildly when he touched upon the
convict lease system. . j
"The business men, the merchant* or
this state.” he said, "are not alarmed
at the prospect of having for their
irovernor an honest, common-sense
farmer. They know that an honest,
common-sense farmer does not desire
to destroy their business or to harm
them In any way. ,
•There it-only one class of. business
men In the state who are genuinely
alarmed. Of course, you know who
they are—the convict lesseee!

STATESBORO, Ga„ Sept. 12,—The
county commissioners of Bulloch ebun-
ty want Ihe convicts worked on the
roads, and In case the legislature
reaches an agreement on the convict
question win try to secure as large a
number as possible to be used In mak
ing good roads In this county.
During the apportionment ot the 'fel
ony convict* three or four years ago the
grand Jury recommended that Instead
of taking the quota of convicts allowed
this county, nineteen In all. that the
county take the money secured from
their hire and u*e it on the school fund.
The county commissioners reluctantly
took that course.
The matter has been discussed at the
last two or three meetings and will
come up at the next regular meeting,
which will be held within a few. days.
Twenty-five misdemeanor convicts are
now being worked on the public roads
In this county.
No county In the state Is doing mors
at this time to have a system of good
roads than Bulloch county.

IATLANTANS INVENT
SAFETYSWIJCHLOCK
Say It Will Prevent Wrecks
by Split or Open
. , Switches- ,
A new and slmiile'device, which may
■ave the Uvea 'ot thousands*In the fu
ture and prevent innumerable wrecks
<e now'being displayed In Atlanta, the
work of two clever railroad-men from
the West Point Route .qnd ope from
the Southern railway. This new' Inven-’
tlon Is fully protected by patents and
Is a weather-proof switch lock which
at one tlme'ls proof against the forget
fulness of the most careless flagman, i
"split” or “cocked”: Switch or un open
switch.
As a grpat percentage of an railroad
wreck* are due to,onq of,the*e cause*. It
will be seen that this new invention
means muoh for the protection of Ufa
and. limb as- well as property.
This new Invention doe* away with
the old padlock and In It* place 1* sub
stituted a concealed lock In a lever arm
that works on the' same principle as
night- key. When the flagman goes
uplock, and-*et-hi*, main line-switch
now unlock* the padlock, throws the
switch- and- afterward* again .throws It
back to the main lthe—at least thls.l*
hla order*. ,
In wet weather th**e padlocks often
get rusty and clogged up. In winter
they often are frozen and ten or twenty
minutes are required In thawing them
Out . Very often, however, the padlock
Is broken, to save time. Of course the
flagman Is supposed to always throw
hla snitch back to the main line. leav
ing tt clear, lock It wlth-hts pddlock and
E sturn to his train. The trouble Is that
e- Is almost always In 'the greatest
urry, throws the switch back and run*
to his train. Only too often he falls
securely lock the switch and a "wreck
due to a cocked switch" Is the result.
Very often, too, he In hi* hurry, throws
hack his switch and thinks he locks It,
put does not. Very often he Is very
sure that he throws It back to the main
line, but In reality forgetii or falls
do so.
Eliminates “I Forgot"
All this Is made Impossible by this
new; device, Itk simplicity-proving Its
practicality. With this new lock wheri
the-train hand runs forward to opei
and.set.)t(s switch from the main lint,
he u«es a regular key. Instiilng It , In
the • concealed'. Idck. He fopfn*' ,the
switch; and sets' .It .to the tilde-track,
but Is then absolutely unable to re
move, hls key. Therefore, he. leaves his
tey In tha lock. When the train passes
Ihru the switch the' flagman' on the
rear re-seta the switch to the main
line when the key can again be easily
removed.
As all of these switch keys are num
bared and each -man must deposit $5
before receiving hla key, he Is going to
see that his key le returned to him be
fore he gets far away frofn It and pos
session of the key means the switch Is
property and seourely locked and the
main line clear. Besides, as each key
Is numbered, It places the responsi
bility of possession directly with Its
owner. . . • • *
IVJtlle a.conductor.named Jacobs first
started to work to Invent something
that would, dp away with the padlock,
the present device and patents belong
to-Train Master A. Merits, of the West
Point’ Route; General -Road Master O.
Nelson, of the same road, and Con
ductor B. B. Holloman, of the Southern
’allway, an old Atlantan, now running
out of Selma. ‘
As this new Invention can be made
at the same oott as the old padlock and
can be attached to any switch stand,
hese men. In the .opinion of those who
tnow, have a fortune assured.
President C. A. Wiekeraham. of the
West Point Route, one of the best ex
pert* In the oouatry, Immediately rec
ognlsed Its Importance and has given
orders to Install It. Ha says that It It
certain to be Immediately ndopjed by
roads throughout the country, because
of Its protection against loss of life and
property.
This lock, .attached to a regular

comer and. as the young man passed,
noticed the tattooed,figure on.hi* arm

tification was mentioned. Feeling sat
isfied Price was this fugitive, they.took
him Into custody, after which he ad
mltted he was the man wanted.
"I ought to have had better sens*
than to be walking along the street
exhibiting that tattooed-mark.” said the
sailor, "but then, of course, I didn't
know the Atlanta officers were so
•mooth.”
The naval authorities have been no
tified of the arrest and Price will prob
ably be-taken to Philadelphia to be
court martlaled.
Price made the tour around the Horn
on board the New Jersey and desert

three other sailors, when the fleet
reached 'Frisco. He said the quartet
decided to desert while Intoxicated.on
board the ship. He says they all climb
ed down th* anchor chain and went
shore on board a steam launch.
They are treating the boys all-right,"

fully 600 desertions since the fleet left
