Rather than have the bout called off, White last night waived the weight question, accepting Welsh's terms of 135 pounds at 2 o'clock., y' THE DAILY GATE CITY Random N Sketches Hallowe'en. All Saint's Day is a festival of the churches—othsnrlae called All Hallow Day. The evening of the 3lst of Oc tober Is called* All Hallow even, or Hallow E'en ss being the vigil or ev« of All Hallow day. H&llowtide is a comprehtaslvs name for tfttfe days The-Roman dathollo church designed this day to be held in honor of all those saint* who had not particular days appointed for them. It does not appear, says an' old writer, that All Saint's day or Its eve, was ever marked by very particular service in the Catholic church. Never theless there is scarcely any time more distinguished by the common people throughout the British islands, or even In our own land, the United States, than Hallowe'en. Rather more Is It suspected that the inspiration for its celebration In the manner now adopted, Instead of being taken from church rltss, was adopted from the customs of our Ringing of bells was one of the modes of celebrating Hallowmas In England in the early days. In celebration of the day, nuts were cracked and eaten. Apples were also extensively eaten and hence in the north of England, All Hallowe'en Is often called Nut-crack Night. There were other fortune telling customs be sides those described by Robert Burns which you have no doubt all read as they are so quaintly described in his poem on the subject. The more dur ing rites of the celebration have In later years been omitted by polite people as to course for practice. At meetings of young persons on the day, a plentiful supply of nuts and apples were provided and a few simple amusements practiced. The experiment of the burning nuts, to test the durdeon of lov« or friendship was a favorite pastime. Docking for apples was another. A tub being pro vided, nearly full of water, and the fruit thrown in, the young people en deavored to seize a floating apple In their teeth—a task much more din cult than might be supposed, and which generally puts the dresses and tresses'of the fair girls entering the contest into considerable disorder. The baffled efforts of the various par ties, raise shouts of laughter. Or a cross stick is suspended by a string from the celling, with a short burning candle on one end *nd an apple on the other. While it swings rapidly round, lads and lasses, with their hands tied, attempt to catch the apple with their teeth, but generally suffer a good deal from the burning candle before they succeed in their object. Here also failure brought about much merriment. It has been thought rather remarkable that Burns did not Introduce Into his poem any notice of these sports, which like the others, were prevslent In his day over the whole of his majesty's domains. From these came the custom of celebrating the day, but It is observed In a much different manner in our own country. Any number of Hal lowe'en events are planned or are being planned in Keokuk. Some have Anticipated the day and have already celebrated It. No More Republican*. [United Press Leased Wire Service.] KANSAS OTTY, Mo.. Oct. 28.— There is no more a republican party In the United States, asserted Vice President Marshall at a democratic rally last night, explalnng that he had watched the "antics'* of the sixteen re publican United States senators re cently and no two of them thought alike. The republicans are Just "agin* the government," he said. ..?%'£ Vj. •0.?'- ~paga^i ancestors, who It will be remembered had four notable festival days, No vember 1, February 1, May 1, and August 1. Ths ancient names of these two latter wss Beltane and Lammas. These four days were celebrated by the kindling of fires In conspicuous places, and performing certain cere monies. Fires were very generally kindled In Wales, Ireland and the Scottish Highlands and even In Xtag» land on tlfe first of November np to half a century, ago, and the custom may still be kept up In some remote places of those 'ands. It is stated by Pennant that "in the north of Wales there Is a custom upon All Saints' eve of making a great 111* called Coel Coeth. Every family, about an hour in the night, make a great bonfire In the most conspicuous place near the house, and when It Is almost extinguished, everyone throws a white stone into the ashes, having first marked it, then having said their pray ers turning round the fire, they go to •bed. In the morning a« soon as they are up, they come to search out the stones, and if, any of them are found wanting, they' have a notion that the person who threw it in will die before be sees another Hallow Bve." It is mentioned by another writer that they dance round and jump through the bonfires, and at the conclusion always run away "to escape the black, short tailed sow." It Is also written that both in Perthshire and In Ireland that many years ago that the day was itroperly regarded as the proper time for ven turing thankg for the realised fruits of the earth. The Irish, In this regard called it "La Mas IThhaV that Is. the day of the apple fruit, and celebrated it with a drink or mess composed of bruised roasted apples among ale or milk. This drink in time acquired the strange appellation of lamb's wool, a corruption, apparently, of the name of the day in the Celtic language. ft' v, a \f wmMi tfT* *Y CSV "v'' •*r ItCk A Note:—Congressman 5 i.V.VVt Apples!

The Rural Telephone In the United States the telephone has been ex tended to small towns, farms and ranches much more generally than in any other country. In Ameriean towns of under 100,000 people, and on the farms and ranches, there is an average of one tel ephone for every 12 persons in Europe there is less than one telephone for every 200 people. Nearly 58% of American telephone exchanges are in very small towns with less than 300 subscribers. In the small towns and on the farms in Europe the telephone is a near curiosity. The private companies in America have given the American people the lowest telephone rates any where and nave extended the service until thin coun try now has more telephones and more telephone wire than all the rest of the world.
