gration" of the Protestant denomina
tions, which ha said were "bankrupt
intellectually."
lie said in part: .
"The tendency today is out of all
churches into the great company of
non-church goers. There is no need
of cany ins religion to the Chinese,
who will soon be ahowing that we
are barbarians in our methods. The
doctrine of evolution has taken the
place of the doctrine of creation. There
are sixty millions of people in America
who do not go to church."

TENDER OF NEW YORK
EXPRESS DERAILED
Strength of Chains A!on Prevented
Serieus Disaster.
West Cornwall, Conn.. May 26.
Rusin? alon? at sixty miles an hour,
the New York express over the Berk
shire division of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad, with pas
sengers aooard for Canaan, Lenox, and
Piu'slield, was brought to a stop on the
eape or a ditch, this afternoon, by
brakes st ay Engineer Harry Grant
after the tender had b2tn derailed by
a broken journal. In the chair car
the seventeen passengers had the im
pression that the express had struck
an automobile at the so-called "school
house crossing," a mile south of Lime
Rock station. Instead they found that
the derailed tender had torn up the
roadbed for five hundred feet.
The chains which held the tender to
the engine were strong enough to hold,
and in the opinion of railroad men this
alone prevented the tender from
breaking loose and dragging the
coaches into the ditch. At the siding
here was the accommodation train
from New Haven and ten minutes aft
er the express went by the report
came that the express was -in the
ditch. The rumor created intense ex
citement for a few minutes until the
facts were ascertained, and the wreck,
ers ordered up from W'aterbury.
Tht disabled tender was sidetrack
ed and a train came down from Can
aan which took the passengers from
the express and the accommodation
and carried them forward to their
destinations. The line was blocked for
several hours.
The tracks were cleared late today,
the tender being dumped into a nearby
field and the tracks temporarily re
paired, so that the express, which was
split in two sections, arrived here
shortly after six o'clock. Up to the
time of the clearing of the tracks pas
sengers were transferred both. Ways.

Where Advertising Applies and How
' Advertising in relation to business is like law 1 relation to justice
it is not self-operative, it must 'be used. The man In 'business who
counts is the man behind the counter, the man who makes the sales.
Advertising facilitates sales by talking up the goods and it is the least
expensive medium for working "up trade. It saves time, increases the
attraction, extends the zone of Influence and saves the cost of a
travelling salesman. What the publisher sells the advertiser is blank
space and the value of this space to business defpencls wholly upon
the one who talks through it. Advertisers say where there are no re
sults that the advertising medium 13 no good when really the failure is
wholly on the part of the writer who fills this blank space. It is up
i to him to attract attention to his busirtess and to excite a desire upon
' the part of the reader for the goods; and newspaper space that is aiot
used right is very likely to be a loss, and to give the advertiser a
wrong opinion of a newspaper instead of a correct opinion of his in
ability to say things which excite trade. The snecessity for having
this space mad as profitable as possible gave rise to the professional
writer, of advertisements and these men are a force in trade and most
of the large stores employ them. The art of advertising rests upon
an honest representation of the goods and the goods which show the
advertisement was ot an exaggeration or false pretence. Any dealer
who can make his goods and his announcements balance perfectly has
the art. Try it

DIAZ SLIPS AVAY
Secretly Leaves Mexican Capital inDisgt&a
in Early Hours
TO SAIL FOR SPAIN
Detachment of Infantry Accompanies Him on His Trip
Over Narrow Guage Railroad Unfrequented Streets
Used to Reach the Station Madero Resigns as Pro
visional President Urges Support of De La Barra.
.Mexico City, May 26. Porfirio Diaz,
for wbom for thirty years all Mexico
stood to one side, stole from the cap
ital early today. Only a few devoted
friends whom he dared trust followed
liim to the railroad station at 2 o'clock
this morning, shortly after the cele
bration over- his . resignation had
quieted down.
To Take Ship for Spain.
Diaz was bound for Vera Cruz to
take ship for Spain. In the distance
h3 could hear the voices of a few cf
the more enthusiastic citizens who
were still acclaiming the new presi
dent, Francisco Leon De La Barra, and
shouting "Viva Madero."
The Trip Secretly Made.
So carefully were the arrangements
made for the deposed president's se
cret escape that th3 fact did not be
come public until late today. Secrecy
was due less to apprehension of a
popular outburst than to a desire to
reach V?ra Cruz before marauders
along the routa could learn of the trip.
Mexican Railroad Tracks Torn Up.
Travel between Mexico City and
Vera Cruz is usually over, the Mexican
railroadj a standard gauge line with
modern eauipment. But rails along
this route have frequently been re
moved of late by bandits. These ban
dits were determined that Diaz, for
reasons best known to themselves,
should not leave the capital. They are
reported to have harbored the idea that
Diaz would follow the precedents of
other Latin American presidents and
carry the national funds with him.
Traveled on Narrow Gauge.
There is also a narrow gauge rail
road to the coast. Taking it for grant
ed that Diaz would take the more lux
urious route, the bandits did not mo
lest the marrow gauge road. For this
reason it was chosen by Diaz for his
trip.
Traveled in Disguise.
General Diaz, still feeble from his
illness and far from being a well man,
left; his home under dreary circum
stances. Rain had fallen earlier in
the night and by the time the former
president emerged from his house the
air was chilly. e was ciuseiy mui
fled. To aid in the disguise a borrow
ed automobile was used. The trip to
the San Lazaro station was mads over
unfrenuented streets.
Police Scattered Along the Way.
By a prearranged scheme police were
scattered along the way at the last
moment. At certain points closa
friends of the former chief executive,
including those who are to accompany
him across the Atlantic, fell in behind
the Diaz automobile.
Party Traveled in Three Trains.
Three trains were used. The first
was as a pilot. The Diaz special fo!
lowed. 4. third train, occupied by a
detachment of the Twenty-fifth in
fantry, brought up the rear. .
The cars comprising the fugitives
special were occupied as follows:
First car: General Diaz and Mrs.
Diaz, Mrs. Rojero Rubio De Teresa,
Colonel Porfirio Diaz. Jr., a son, Lieu
tenant Lorenzo ElibaEa and their
Second car: General Fernandino
Gonzales, Manuel Gonzales, Colonel
Santa Cruz, Major Espinosa y Ron-
deTn'ird car: Fiscisco Garcia, Ignacla
De La Garita and a kitchen crew.
Trains Ran Without Orders.
The trains ran without orders for
fear the bandits along the line might
tap the wires and get news of the
flight.
