Managers of the campaigns of "favorite sons" conferred in an effort to "count noses" and decide whether they would be able to head off the nomination of the justice "without at the same time encountering a Roosevelt movement that might get beyond control. Upon these conferences depend the entire program of the "Old Guard". Meanwhile the Roosevelt men are getting ready to do business with the members of the Republican National committee. They have conferred with a number of the Republican leaders and have made it plain that they will not accept Hughes. They say thpt if it soems certain that he is to be the noiftinee tliey will be unable to control their forces. In the event the Hughes' strength crystalizes early next week, they say, there is a strong possibility that the ultra radical element at the Progressive convention will take the bit in fts teeth and go ahead aud nominate the Colonel without waiting for the Republicans to show their hand.

After several fruitless assaults, the enemy succeeded in penetrating our trenches of the first line between Fort Douaumont and Vatix Pond. Everywhere else the German attacks were broken by the fire or our machine. guns, which caused heavy losses to the enemy."

Frank Drown, of the same town: Her subject. "Free Libraries", was particularly opportune at this time, when the women of the Ivriug Club have taken the preliminary steps to establish a public library in I'unxsu1- tawney. So far there has been no real suggestion of a compromise. The progressives say that they will accept any man that the Republicans suggest for vice president. It is known that in case Hughes wins the nomination his managers will make an effort to have former ambassador to France, Myron Herrick, of Ohio, named as the running mate for the justice. The lecture by George Shaw Cook, C. S. B.. of Chicago, 111., on Christian S? ience in ,the High School auditorium lust night, was well attended. Lex. N.

A determined German attack delivered yesterday evening at 8 o'clock against our positions upon the eastern slopes of the hill was completely repulsed by our lire. The treat of the afternoon came In the address by Miss Mary E. Bakewell. of Pittsburgh, who used as her subject "Present Day Ideals and Necessities". Miss Bakewell is an ardent woman suffragist and has on several occasions been chosen by the leaders of her state to plead the cause before the I'nited States Seuale and House of Representatives. Her deep knowledge of humanity and 'sympathy with womanhood makes her an exceptional woman aud particularly lit ted 1" lead her sex to a higher plane of thinking and living. Senator Penrose arrived here today. When interviewed he said: I-).vocationally I'Tt'iuJlnj; Affair Held in the Ijangan Hall Last Kvcnlng. "The majority or the Pennsylvania delegation comes to Chicago uninstructed. We have picked no favorite yet. We want a Republican candidate who can win." "Human emotions, such as fear, anger,. worry, liat/ed, etc., are now said to produce poisonous conditions on or in the physical body. If this is so may not many cases of chronic poisoning in the human system be traceable to a chronic disposition to give way to the emotions? Is it not as reasonable to admit this as to recognize the fact that acute fear immediately manifests itself In a blanched face? If one is obliged to admit the mental cause) of some kinds of physical disease, why not agree with Christian Science that, primarily, all disease is due to a mental cause? This does not mean that all disease is \he result of conscious fear or of willful sin. Many types of disease are effects of latent fear, hereditary tempcrameat, superstitition, ignorance, or some of the generally accepted beliefs of the human mind which seem to operate as law. Suppose a man to be sick from one or more of these mental causes. Will drugs cure him? Is there any antitoxin that will destroy hatred, or any serum that will prevent fear? Nothing but thej knowledge that God is Love and that man as the image or God is in reality nothing less than the expression of Love, and therefore cannot and does not fear or hate, will effect a permanent cure in such a case. There were in the neighborhood or 50 couples Rt the *dance given last night by the band in the Langan Hall. The band concei t, an especially pleasing one given from the band stand, was followed immediately by the dance. "On the right bank of the river the artillery lighting has become exceedingly intense to the west and also east of Fort Douaumont." Headquarters for Governor Brumbaugh were opened at the Auditorium Hotel by Paul Furman and Henry G. Wasson. .More complete accounts reaching here from Verdun show that the battle, which raged from May 27 to May o0. and which ended, according to a statement of the French War Office, In a costly check for the Germans, was the greatest effort made Ijv the Teutonic forces in tile whole Verdun operations. More and heavier guns and denser masses of troops were assembled along the three miles of the French front from Hill 304 to the Me use than in any previous attack. 8NKAKTHIF.F STRAINS CHECK Throughout the evening from !t until Vi o'cloik one-steps and waltzes were played by 12 pieces of the band. The music was exceptionally fine and the encores were many. Another dance is to be given on June 15. Mrs. William Hllbig, of this city, yesterday received from her husband at Butler a check for .a sum slightly in excess of $50. Mrs. Hllbig put the check in a bankbook, which she placed in a book case. Some time during the afternoon some one entered the Hilbig home and Btole the check. Business men of this section are requested to be on the lookout for the check. r ifeen. the question of said wages shall tie left for adjustment to a committee of arbitration selected as follows: The said operators shall select one disinterested person, the telephone company shall select one disinterested person and the two persons thus selected shall select a third disinterested person and the three persons thus selected shall constitute the said committee of. arbitration who,- after giving due consideration to all the circiimstances effecting the question at issue, shall decide the matter and i the decision of a majority of the said committee of arbitration shall be final and binding upon the respective parties hereto. II would tic futile to attempt to convey Miss Bakewell's message in a Kliort report for her address was more than a message: it was an inspiration. However, she told her audience that the manhood of the country was looking to the women and hoping that they were about to limite a contribution to the world which would point the way to higher spirituality and nobler living, and she urged that they cultivate the spirituality and love for humanity in .order to meet this need and turn (tin tide which at times seems to be I pointing toward national destruction She particularly depreciated war. taking wltat men gave as the excuses for war enlarged patriotism, commercial expansion, protection for for women and children and national defense- and showed how it had failed to further or enlarge one thing that is named as Its justificationA business session of the club was held this forenoon, after which a luncheon was served in the church parlors.

"Christian Science teaches Its adherents to 'pray without ceasing', and constantly to seek a higher and better understanding of the true nature of God, and of man as His likeness. Furthermore, it requires the demonstration of this understanding In right thinking and right living. Such thinking results In the lessening of sin and disease. This is the practical atonement to which Mrs. Eddy refers as 'the exemplification of man's unity with God'. (Science and. Health, p. 18) Christian Scientists, believe that in no other fray can they realize the full Import of what has been mistakenly regarded as the vicarious atonement of Christ Jesus, but which was in fact the perfect demonstration of man's at-onement with God. 44 Bran New Citizens Of tbo Vii applications for linul citizenship papers ut, IJrookvllle yesterday. 4 4 were granted, six were held over, two were refused, while 18 of tin' applicants (lid not appear for examination.
