J., JuIyTA. Charac terizing Gov. Wilson as an lngrate and a liar In a toast offered In the presence of a number of officers of the New Jersey National Guard, James R. Nugent, chairman of the Democratic State Committee, has been the target for the strongest kind of condemnation all through the camp of the New Jersey Guard. Tho assertion was made at a dln nor last night, and one officer at least stated to-day that It was only by exercising tho greatest self-re-stralt that he was kept from at tacking Nugent on tho spot. Tho maner In which Nugent mado the remark has led several who were present to go to Gov. Wilson to-day and assure him If tho story got to tho newspapers they wero ready to testify to tho language by the State chairman. Tho Governor had nothing to say about tho matter for publication when seen to-night. Nugent was at a restaurant at Avon late last night, accompanied by Bob Delaney, the Atlantic City gambler, and two women. Before it dining-room full of peo ple Nugent, without any warning, rose from his seat and offered the following toast, tho latter part be ing given in deathlike silence: "I propose a toast" to the Govern or of New Jersey, tho commander-in-chief of tho militia. He's an ln grate and he's a liar. I mean Wood row Wilson. I repeat he's an ln grate and a liar. Do I drink alone?" Tho officers present wore dumb founded. Delaney arose with NuJ gent, but not another man left his eat at tho moment. Delaney saw something was wrong, and Instead of drinking the toast, remained standing and Nugent's was tho only glass that touched lips. Ono member of Gen. Collins staff got up and left his seat, soon to bo followed by three moro of them, and a rogular army officer who was present. Delany followed the man who first left his seat and started to say something to hlln. ' ' ' The officer cut him short with the remark: "If you start anylhlng, you want to be suro you can finish 11." Delaney returned to tho dining room, rejoining Nugent. Nugent and Gov. Wilson have not been on frlondly terms since last winter, when tho Governor jammed through legislation which was re markably distasteful to tho old- time bosses In both tho Republican and Democratic parties. Ho has fre quently taken occasion at public dinners slnco tho legislature ad journed to attack tho executive's politics. Delaney achieved famo seven or eight years ago when bo wont on tho ball bond of two gamblers at Atlantic City and tho two men Jumped their ball. Delaney tried to got out of paying tho $8,600 which ho had pledged for tho men on tho plea that ho was drunk when he signed tho bond and did not know what ho was doing.

Madison, Wis., July- 2S. Tho Rev. A. Tull, a retired Methodist minister, has lost faith in tho Wis consin Legislature and haa rotu'ned tho check for $3 which ho was paid for delivering a prayer In the Sen ate, with a letter to State Treasurer Dahl, reading as follows: "I received your check for $3 for delivering a prayer In tho Senate. I thank you and tho Senate for tho courtesy, but return it. It would bo purely- commercialism to accept $3 from tho Senato for asking tho favor of tho Lord. "Really, It seems as If tho $67 paid for prayer during this session was lost monoy. As the legislature did such 'rotten' business on all tem perance measures, It Indicates that not a single prayer reached tho Lord for tho promotion of temper ance, but that He favored the brew- erics and saloonkeepers. How could prayer for monoy fall? "I have been sunk In debt for six teen weeks and needed money worse than any of them, but not such fiionfey;" AN ABANDONED BABY FOUND IN TELESCOPE Lebanon, Ky July 29. Two sons of J. N.

Frankfort, Ky., July 29. Inves tigation by a large manufacturing company Is being mado of what Is claimed Jo be a perpetual motion machine perfected by Noel Hodges, of Frankfort. Mr. Hodges claims that the small model which he has at his home In Holmes street has been running for eight months, without any means of propulsion outside of the power tho machine Itself generates. He claims that the machine will produce power enough to run an electric fan or small dy namo and he says he has refused an offer of $50,000 for his invention. Hodges has been working on his Invention for years, quietly and without anybody knowing what ho was doing, and he 'has Just made public the fact that ho has solved tho problom of perpetual motion which has driven so many men to tho Insane asylums during the hun dreds of years that the Inventors have been struggling with the task. Mr. Hodges says he will not sell for $50,000, although he Is poor, for he knows that his Invention is worth many times that amount. Ho says the machine has been examined by experts and they have agreed with him that he had solved the difficult problem of making a machine that will run until It wears out without the use of springs, compressed air or any other motive power. o Invention Is a wheel with stcol balls at the end of rods on ono sidd of tho wheel, tho weight of these being enough, Hodges says, to drive the wheel on around. He says ho welcomes Investigation of tho Invention and would bo glad to hnvo anybody show him any flaw In It. It Is probable that scientists from sev eral sections of the country will, come to Frankfort to examlno tho invention and see if It Is what It is claimed to be.

Penn, a New York promo ter, took over and will develop the 65,000 acres belonging to the Ken tenia corporation In Harla nand Bell counties . The land, which lies in the south eastern part of Harlan county and In the northwest section of Bell, carries some of the best coal seams and most valuable timber In South eastern Kentucky. In addition to the abovo tract the Kentenia Mining pompany Is ac quiring other holdings, and It will soon probably have an acreage of between 80,000 and 90,000 acres. It has Just closed a deal with W. H. H. Smith, of this county, whereby It becomes the owner of 5,000 acre3 of land. Tho price paid was $250.- 000.

It Is almost certain that with in a short time a line of railroad will bo built from this place up Martin's Fork and Catron's creek, where It will tap the rich holdings of the Kentenia Company. The lease of this land Is probably the largest deal of Its kind over mado in Kentucky, and Its consum mation Is of inestimable value to Harlan county and this section. rne minding of tiie railroad up Martin's Fork will make Harlnn tho divergent point of threo lines or mer Senator James B.

THE DIE ISMSTJY LAURIER Who Dissolves Parliament and Calls for Support of His Views QUESTION FORCED ON CANADA Ottawa, Ontario, July 29. In a general election to be held In Sep tember, Canada will decide whether she wants reciprocity, held out by President Taft and the American Congress. Obstruction by the opposition having made it clear that the Gov ernment could not bring the reci procity bill to a vote In the House of Commons, Sir Wilfred Laurler recommended and Governor Gener al Earl Grey dissolved Parliament. Sir Wilfred Laurler announced that the election would be held on Thurs day, September 21. Both sides ex press satisfaction at this prospect of a final test of strength. If Sir Wilfred Laurler is return ed to power, as he confidently ex pects, Parliament will be reassem bled, the reciprocity bill passed and at an agreed date both the United States and Canada will put the nec essary tariff changes Into effect. If the opposition wins a majority, which appears next to Impossible now, R. L. Borden, Its loader, will become Premier, reciprocity will be dropped and Canada will remain a i' I860, Canada had given up hope of closer trade relations and was do ing very well on her own account. President Taft realizing the ab surdity of such tarfff barriers tween two countries in which be fie la conditions of life, Industry and bor are so similar, held forth the olive branch. The Laurler Govern ment being in power, "saw It first." According to the rule of Canadian politics, this made It necessary that the Conservative partv should op pose It. The great financial and manufacturing Interests.whlch have a stake In the continuance of the blRli protective tariff, rushed to J support of the Conservatives. This encouraged the party's leaders to believe thpy might turn the Laurler Government out. in Canada, where the Government retains office by virtue of and only so long ns it retains n majority In RECIPROCITY the House of Commons, the election Reel-.takes tho form of a vote for the .members of the Housf In tho 221 constituencies or "mines" into which tho country Is divided.
