FAIR CLOSES A DM EARLY Turbine steamer Lusltanla, in yesterday from Queenstown, has again lowered the trans-Atlantic record, having made the run over the short course in four days, fifteen hours and twentyfive - minutes. Xhe Lusitania's former record, which was also the ocean record, was four gays eighteen hours and forty minutes, the steamer by her new performance lowering her former mark and record by three hours and fifteen minutes. The Lusitania's previous best performance was made last November, when the short course was still in'use. As the season advanced the big turbincrs, with the rest of the great liners, began using the southern or long course -to avoid danger from Ice bergs. Both the Lusltania and her sister ship, the Mauretania, then began a series of record breaking performances over file hnig route, which continued until recently, when the vessels again sought the short course for the fall and winter soAson.

Music was furnished during the feast and addresses were made by a number of the representatives present. In the evening a delegates* ball was held and was very largely attended. Yesterday, just before noon the big •parade was held and thousands of people lined the streets to see the tiremen march past. It was one of the largest processions in the history of the Central district and at least twt thousand uniformed men were in lino together with a number of bands. Following the parade the racing contests were run with results, as follows: The Punx'y firemen have about all returned from Philipsburg, where they cut «ome ice in the proceedings which marked the 16th Annual convention of the Central District Firemen's Association, and although they did not land the convention for next year, as anticipated, they were in on the prizes, having taken first in tiie hub and hub race, first in the 100 yard dash, second in the hook and ladder race and third in the hose race. The Pun*8Ut£Twney delegation put up a good "spiel" for the 1009 convention, but were nosed out by Jersey Shore. Special to The Spirit, LONDON, Aug. 22.—According t«» an estimate «»f Sir Alfred Jones, Great Britain will benefit to the extent of $125,000,000 by the working of the new Patents Act, which is to become fully operative next week. The new law stipulates that foreigners who may obtain British patents must manufacture the patented goods on British soil. On and after next Friday anyone, on application to the Comptroller of Patents, may cause to )» revoked any patent granted four years or more ago in this country to any foreigner who manufactures the goods in question "exclusively or mainly"' outside the United Kingdom. As American and German manufacturers are doing a large business In England, they stand to be forced to expend millions of dollars in the construction of plants here as provided by the new act. Last year England granted 2,808 patents to Germany and 2,702 to tiie United States. Over 2ft,- 000 British patents have been grant- eel within tin- pas: throe years to f«»r-elgnors. Not one of these patents has hithorto been adequately "worked" In the I'nlted Kingdom. Anions American manufacturers who are particularly hard hit by 'he now law aro the makers of typewriters, cash registers, all kinds of line steel working machinery, elevator and pneumatic tube parts, In addition to a thousand and one small articles sold I by Americana under the protection of Kngllsh registered patents. v tin- outlook for British workpeople is excellent. Many American and German firms have arranged to upon branch factories in Kngland to comply with the law. Other will overcome the difficulty by means of agreeemnts with j lirltlsh firms, by 'ho terms of which the latter will manufacture the good* on a system of royalties. In either case Great Britain will receive material be noli ts. SeVeral German manufacturers of aniline dyes, pottery and steel tools are erecting factories in London and vicinity. An American safety razor company has acquired a factory in Leicester and will give employment to five hundred hands. This is only a selection, and rni; wi:\tiii:u On II F. I). Xo.

PIFER DAY HI SYKESVILLE A BOLD BHD MAN Twenty years ago, in the national campaign of 1888, Mr. Mills was perhaps, with the single exception of Grover Cleveland, tin- foremost man in Hie Democratic party. He had served his people nobly. He had stood for the principle of free trade as far a.- any American can stand for free trade. Mills and his bill were upon every lip. It was significant that in the famous convention that was held at Sr. Louis in that year only one name was second :<» that of Grovcr Cleveland, and that was the name of Roger Q. Mills, of Texas. "On the lines of the Mills bill !md the message"—these were the words in which Henry Watterson described the platform which was adopted by the Democratic convention when it nominated Mr. Cleveland for the Presidency. Ten years later Mr. Mills was "out of politics". Out of it by his own act. Out of it. having been run over and crushed by the same free silver juggernaut that ruined the political aereers of more than one Democratic leader of that time. When Mr. Mills returned to Texas he found that conditions had changed. The figure of Governor Culberson had cast a great shadow across the sunshine of his path. AJfcacty old, experienced in the ways of men, knowing the ups and downs of politics, and seeing with his keen eye nothing but defeat before him, Mr. Mills got out of the race for the United States senatorship.It was a brilliant career that Mr. Mills left behind him when he withdrew from politics and retire'l to private life. Though a native of Kentucky he spent the greater part of his life in the Lone Star State. At 17 he located in Palestine, Texas, and began the study of law. in 18.52 he began th<i practice of his profession at Corsieana and seven years later lywas elected to the Texas legislature. He was a Confederate soldier, a colonel in the Tenth Texas infantry. When peace was declared he returned to Corsicana and went back to law. In 1872 Mr. Mills was sent to Congress, and he was sent hack every .succeeding term until, in 1892, Texas made him a United States senator. When h«- «|iiit .the .senate lie was a comparatively poor man. In recent years, it is said, he accumulated a considerable fortune in the oil lndus- I' ry. By United Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 22.— The bulletins Issued from a Washington hospital during the past week i:i regard to the condition of former Senator Roger Q. Mills of Texas convey- ed to many persons their first intelligence as to the whereabouts of this once noted figure in public affairs. Only the old-timers about the national capital can fully understand how a man once so prominent can become so utterly lost to public notice and concern Mrs. Car malt, who was tho widow of the late William Q. Carmalt, of Punxsutawney, had been making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Richard Doncaster, for the past twd years, previous to which lime she had been a resident of this place ever since she became the wife of Mr. Carmalt. The deceased, who was highly esteemed by all who knew her, was a zealous member and loyal supporter of the C\ P. Church, of this place. The remains will be brought to Punxsuta\yney this evening or tomorrow, and although the funeral arrangements have as yet not born completed, it is probable that interment will not be made until Tuesday. Besides her daughter, Mrs. Richard Doncaster, she is survived by three sons, namely: John and l>r. 11. CI. Carmalt, of Pittsburg, and Ueorge Carmalt, c»f this place. CSeorge Carmalt this morning re-1 celved a telegram from liochester, I Pa., announcing the death, from heart) I trouble, of his mother, Mrs. Ada B. Carmalt, who expired at 3:0 o'clock 1 after a brief Illness. PLEASING PARTY FOR GUESTS The Secretary oi the exhibition an-| nounced that this step was made necessary when the Civic League induced Distrie Attorney Culbertson to call the State Constabulary from Punxsu(awney and have the troopers prevent the bookmakers and paddle-wheel experts front* fleecing tfie people. The fair continued three days and the rates were good, even though no one could bet openly on the result. 1! is stated that the exhibits were few and of mediocre merit. The races, the music by Nirella's Fourteenth Regiment Hand and an unusually large number of side shows provided amusement for the 10,00ft persons present on Thursday and those in attendance the other days. The fair managers had some trouble settling with the privilege men. exhibitors and those who had horses entered for the last day. As a result of the prohibiting of the gambling that has long featured the Kittanning Fair, the promoters of the exhibition claim they will lose $J,500 on the week. K ITT A N X1 X< J, Aug. 22.—After cond'ul'ting a betless, no-gambling ex-! hibition for three days the otHelals of the ivlttanning Fair Association on Thursday night called the exhibition off and there was nothing doing yesterday.CARUSO UP AGAINST II CAB CADDIES The Punxsutawney delegation is after the convention for 1909. Yesterday a sham battle was fought and those who witnessed the maneuvers pronounce the action a decided and picturesque success. The experience was a most trying one for many of the boys, and one of the participants, Thfma.s Sharp, of noynoldsville, succumbed to the heat. After about fifteen minutes of manipulating he was revived and taken to his home. Addresses were made yesterday by Chaplain Melntyn- and Itev. A. J. Meek, of Ueynoldsvillc. This evening; at six o'clock the campers will parade through the s reeks, concluding the week's program with a serenade of the town. Tomorrow there will be religion* services held both morning and afternoon.Local Sons of Veterans who have been attending the annual encampment at Ueynoldsvillc, state that while the condition of the road which leads to the park and the absence of concessionaries, have affected the attendance of the public, the camps in the district arc well represented, and the convention work is progressing satisfactorily.looping Wile Took *1(10.000 Worth of Jewels lleloiming- to (■nut Tenor.

The petitioners also allege that they were never properly notified of the Commissioners' intention of building a nidge, but admit that on May 11, 1 «»0Ki they notified them that such proceedings would be strenuously opposed.The company's petition contains some interesting suggestions in regard t<» what it will do if the Borough I will agree to build overhead crossing* i for the new bridge and the crossing at \ Front Street, and In one instance predicts that the business **f the company will soon be largely increased, i The company, In its petition for an 1 Injunction avers, in part: "That your orator Is Informed and believes, and therefore alleges, that there is no Imperative necessity, and in fact m> necessity whatever, fc** the use of the grade crossing of wild railroad as proposed.

Two new companies were admitted to the association, the Fourth Ward of DuBois, and the Rodgers Fire Company, No. 2, of Juniata, making a total of 37 companies now holding membership in this district. The delegates remarked the fact that a great change has taken place in the conduct of the firemen in recent years and that instead of "raising Cain" as they were wont to do when the convention last met here, they have fallen in line for sports and discipline. ' They speak in the highest terms of praise over the treatment they received at the hands of the Phillpsburg department, and the people of the town. 2. J. E. DuBois 24 sec, 23.5 sec. 1. Punx'y  8.

Charged Willi HiviIt of liisiHH'lor "Some local g«»lf enthusiasts were talking yesterday concerning an interesting sight that was recently seen on the Hotel Ryder links at Cambridge Springs. Then- were four players engaged in a foursome and each player was accompanied by a line pointer dog acting as caddies. The dogs paid strict attention to the game and never failed to chase the right ball. "As soon us the gutta percha spheroid was hit, the dog belonging to that golfer chased away and going to where the ball was lodged made a point and stood until Its owner came along. If the balls happened to be knocked in some place where ordinarily it would be lost, the dogs Invariably dug them out. It was described as one of the most beautiful as well las Interesting sights ever seen on a golf course." The following Item, which is a dogoned good one if true, and ingenious il not true, is taken from the DuBois Express: Excitement ever prove- ;i whet to imagination, especially in the minds of the weaker sex. Such was the case yetcrday afternoon when a woman of the West End went into the barn on the rear of her lot and saw a man lying upon the hay. Straightway she pictured burglars, cutthroats and desperados of all sorts, and by the time she had reached the house and the telephone her mind was a chaos of bad men Calling the barracks, she, in a walling tone, exclaim ed that in her barn was a big. bold, wicked male man with a gun in one pocket and a knife in the other and implored the dispatching of a squad posthaste. Keogh and Wiigiu'r, of Troop D, I answered the. call on th« gallop and I live minutes after the woman had I called up they wore rousing a West | End boy who had somewhat ovor- Imhihcd and was endeavoring t<> sleep I it off.
