TORNADO SWEEPS GALVESTON VOL. XXIV. Ten People Are Swept From Pier and Lost. SEA WALL SAVES THE CITY No Lives Lost in Galveston and Property Damage Not Great—But for Sea, Wall City Would Behn Whelmied. UNSCATHED BY STORM GALVESTON REJOICES Galveston, Texas—The city of Galveston sends greetings to her sister cities, the people of the United States and of the world. In that at this hour it has just passed through a most formidable storm, manifesting in its course some of the most violent incidents and cyclonic, disturbances, and its great sea wall has completely vindicated its efficiency and protected the city against dangers from the sea, leaving such insignificant damages as are incident to all storms. The city, its great business interests and its people have safely passed through a most severe hurricane, the sea wall has proved a complete success. The city's great wharves and shipping interests suffered no damage and not a life was lost. Lewis Fisher, mayor; Maco Stewart, president Security Building Company; M. E. Kleberg, city attorney; V. E. Astin, commissioner of street; E. O. Flood, president chamber of commerce; B. A.

In Galveston and vicinity not a single life is believed to have been sacrificed, but the material loss is quite extensive. The hurricane swept the entire gulf coast with an intensity and viciousness that has eeldom been equaled in a country where destructive storms are usual. It had its origin on Atlantic coast and swept westward and southward, devastating the entire gulf coast even as far south as Matagorda Bay. The hurricane struck Galveston about 11 o'clock Wednesday morning. The wind, attaining a velocity of nearly 70 miles an hour, whipped the treacherous waters of the Mexican gulf into a fury of destruction. With the pent-up fury of ten years of hate, the waves blindly assaulted the grim parapets of stone which man had built to restrain its attacks. In vain it hurled its thousands of tons of water upon the splendid breastworks. Only a feeble burst of spray and a little water, reached its objective and the beleaguered city lay calm and safe behind the wall. Outside the limits of the city, where the wall had not been reared and where the city had not been elevated, the waters had their way, but they wrecked only deserted huts and abandoned territory. While the city of Galveston was held safe against the fury of the storm by the new government $2,000,000 sea walls, far out in the gulf, on Tarpon fishing pler, 7 miles from the city, where the storm whipped over the jetty into the bay, ten persons were washed from the rocky promontories into the gulf. Those drowned were members of a fishing party and employees of the Tarpon pler, marooned on the jetty. Boats were sent to their assistance, and it was learned that the house in which they had sought refuge had been washed away. Three spans or sections of the bridge running from the island on which the city stands to Vilain Point were swept away when a barge was hurled against the plers. This bridge supported all of the telephone and telegraph lines running into Galveston. Official bulletins issued by the United States weather bureau gave warnings of the approaching storm, and in some measure the shipping was prepared for it. Before daylight the storm clouds began gathering in the south, far out over the waters. The storm increased in velocity until it had attained a maximum of 76 miles an hour, and the mercury in the barometer fell with startling rapidity as the storm center rushed closer and closer to the BLAME BUSINESS DEPRESSION Idleness Has Become a Habit With Many. Washington, D. C.—The recent business depression had a demoralizing effect on certain classes of laborers, according to C. L. Green, inspector in charge of the New York city branch of the division of information of the department of commerce and labor, who submitted his report for the six months ending June 30 last, to L. V Powderly, chief of the division. The report shows that during the fiscal year just closed three thousand eight hundred and twelve men secured employment in the various states through information furnished by his bureau. Savannah Tribune. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. city. The barometer fell as low as 29.56, as against 27.50 when the 1900 storm was at its height. The waves, rolling high, dashed furiously against the massive concrete sea wall, hurling dense clouds of spray and spume into the air, where it was caught by the wind and driven back across the city in torrents. Far more rapidly than it had swept down upon the city, the wind subsided. With the passing of the storm the fright of the citizens passed, as they realized that their sea wall, which had been built at a cost of $2,000,000, had held fast, and to it they probably owed their lives and property. Rescue parties were sent out onto the beach, for there it was that the storm did its damage. Bath houses, pavilions and booths along the speedway, as the driveway outside of the seawall is known, were turned topsy-turty, the more frail ones being crushed and splintered by the force of the wind and waves. AMERICANS WASTE $1,500,000,000. That Amount Thrown Away, Says Prof. Fisher of New York. Prof. Fisher or New York. New York City.—That the people of this country are annually throwing away a sum of money that represents 50 per cent more than it costs to operate the government—in cold figures $1,500,000. It statistically shown in Professor Irving Fisher's new work issued by the government printing office, and entitled "A Report on National Validity." Professor Fisher is a member of the faculty of Yale university, and a national conservation commissioner appointed by Theodore Roosevelt. He is also a member of the committee of 100 on national health. In the connection of national waste in lives, Professor Fisher shows that there are three million persons needlessly and continually ill in the United States, and that this condition might well be prevented by strict attention to even the simplest hygienic measures. He shows, also, that tuberculosis alone is responsible for 500,000 persons annually ill, and that it is entirely possible that this scourge be wiped out within one generation. The typhoid alone costs the country $350,000,000, and this is a disease that can be wholly wiped out by attention to neglect details. Premlums Offered For More Eables New York City. The owner of a big tenement at 69 to 75 Rivington street, on the east side, gave notice to his tenants that he will pay $150 to the first family of eight children in which a boy baby is born, $100 to the family of fewer than eight children in which a boy baby is born and $500 to that family in which twins next appear. There are now in the tenement house sixty-eight families, and they have only 199 children. Twins have never been born in the building. Nurses In Convention. London. Nurses from all parts of the world are attending the sessions of the International Council of Trained Nurses, which opened at Church house, Westminster. Mrs. Bedford Fenwick, founder of the council, welcomed the representative leaders from the United States, Germany, the loyal dominion of colonies, Mrs. Fenwick, Miss Jessica Hart, Mrs. Fenwick, edged their election as honorary members of the American Federation of Nurses. Pay Bonds Issued During War. Montgomery, Ala.—An example of fealty to obligation is given by the town of Greensboro, Ala., which has just paid $1,000 on bonds issued just after the war to help build what is now a part of the Southern Railway. They were given the great cavalry leader, Gen. N. B. Forrest, who was erecting the Cincinnati, Selma and Mobile, the total for the town being $20,000. This payment reduces the amount to $1,750. JESSE LIVERMORE : MISSING Cotton Plunger Vanishes From Gothan, New York. New York City—Jesse Livermore, whose ups and downs as a plunger in cotton and stocks were chronicled widely in 1907 and 1908, has been missing for several weeks from the office of Hutton & Company, and his name has been erased from the door of one of the minor offices there, where he used to make his headquarters when his profits were large. Oblect to Term "Dagoes." Denver, Col.-Condemnation of the American manner of referring to foreigners as "daoges," "round heads," "butternuts," "red necks" and other obnoxious titles occupied consideration time; the convention of the Western Federation of Miners, the greater part of the membership is of foreign birth. New Flying Record. Washington, D. C.—Establishing a new record for aviation in America, Orville Wright, in the Wright aeroplane at Fort Myer, made a spectacular flight of one hour twenty minutes of the longest flight. The longest previous flight was of seventy-four minutes, made by Mr. Wright at Fort Myer last fall. Little Shah Wants to Oult Throne. London, England.—A dispatch from Teheran to The Times says that the little-shah will hold a durbar in the city to make the acquaintance of his faithful subjects. He is pathetically unhappy, and would willingly exchange his honors for his mothers lap. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1909. LATE NEWS NOTES. The royal train bearing King Victor Emmanuel to his summer palace at Racconiol ran down and killed a flagman at a crossing near San Vincenzo. The king ordered the train stopped and, alighting, ordered his secretary to see that the needs of the man's family were provided for. Struck by a bolt of lightning as he sat on his plaza at Broxton, Mass., his hand resting on the brass-studded collar of his dog, George E. Bowman, a twenty-year-old artist, whose work recently won him a prize of $500 at a New York exhibition, is lying at his home speechless and sightless. On board the United Fruit company's steamship Limon when she reached port at Boston, Mass., from Port Limon, Costa Rica, was no less distinguished a personage than "King" Alonzo Adams, supreme ruler and owner of Swan Island, situated in the Carribbean sea, and one of the most important strategic points in the entire West Indies. While exact figures are unobtainable, it is conservatively estimated at Pittsburgh, Pa., that a loss of $60,000 is incurred each day the steel car strike continues. Nearly six thousand meu are idle. The plant has a capacity of about one hundred cars a day, which sell at an average price of $1,000 each. The figures show that the company is sustaining a tremendous loss while no product is being turned out. So fond of jumping was Heatherbloom, the $20,000 world's champion jumping horse, that he topped every fence built for a paddock. He reached his limit, however, trying the highest fence ever placed around him, and was so badly injured that, in mercy, he was shot. He was owned by Howard, Willets, of White Plains, N. Y., and Marborough, Mass. Mr. Willets refused. $10,000 for him from Barnum's circus only this season. Heatherbloom had held the world's record, eight feet, six inches, having made the record in Chicago, winning from a class of fifty horses. Washington. The figure heads, used for ornaments on the battleship Alabama and the cruiser Montgomery, will be given to Montgomery, Ala. Such accessories are being taken from all the warships and Congressman Dent has secured these two for Montgomery. It is reported here that prominent American bankers are to refund the public debt of Honduras at the present time, amounting to about $100,000,000. The firm of J. P. Morgan & Company is mentioned as among those who have the matter in hand. There is a decided sentiment for the abolishment of the Panama canal government as it now exists and for the substitution of a "one-man rule" in the canal zone. In the opinion of members of congress who have looked into conditions in the canal zone and who have examined the great work of construction, there is too great a division of responsibility and authority under the commission form of government as it now exists. A special meeting of the cabinet was held at the white house to discuss further the matter of cutting down the estimates of the various departments for the coming fiscal year, according to the statements of several cabinet officials beforetering the consultation room with President Tait. It is clear that the widely published attack on the estimate of farm reserves of wheat on March 1 was without basis; that it was unjustifiable and that its sole object was to enable the speculators who made it to gain personal profits at the expense of the general public, was the summing up of Secretary Wilson in a statement given out in answer to the criticism from several quarters that the department's estimate as to the amount of wheat on farms in the United States was entirely too high. The secretary says that "the estimate was challenged as being much too large, and considerable agitation was aroused by speculative interests desiring to create a public belief in a serious shortage in wheat supplies." The conferees on the tariff bill formally adopted the corporation tax amendment as redrafted by Attorney General Wickersham, with practically no amendment. The amendment reduces the rate of tax from 2 to 1 percent, eliminates the holding companies and strikes out that part of the original amendment which made building and loan associations subject to the act. The city of Panama is anxious to have an officer of the American army detailed for duty as inspector and instructor of the national police of that city. A cable resolution making such a request has reached the 'state department. The army, however, is short of officers and it is not likely the request will be compiled with, a similar request from Bogota, Colombia, recently having been declined. The hookworm, or "lazy bug," as it has been shown to exist in the southern states, according to investigations of the physical condition of army recruits, will form an interesting chapter in the forthcoming report of the surgeon general of the army, and probably will lead to a widespread effort on the part of boards of health of the southern states to eradicate this disease, which, a few years ago, was brought prominently to the attention of the Inventors with the Porto Ricans. The investigations have been progressing quietly during the last six or seven months, so that when Surgeon General Thornycroft makes up his annual report, he will have data to prove the prevalence of the hookworm among soldiers enlisted from the southern states. ARE READY TO FIGHT Argentina and Bolivia Likely to Go to War. DISPUTE OVER BOUNDARY Argentina Orders the Bolivian Minister to Quit Buenos Ayres and Wires Her Minister to Leave Bolivia. Buenos Ayres, Argentina—The Argentine government has sent his passports to the Bolivian minister here, ordering him to leave Buenos Ayres. The government has also telegraphed Senior Fonseca, Argentine minister to Bolivia, to leave La Paz. The action of the Argentine government follows the refusal of Bolivia to accept the decision of Argentina in the matter of the boundary dispute between Bolivia and Peru. The Bolivian minister advised the Argentine government that Bolivia had decided to submit to parliament for consideration the arbitral award rendered by President Alcora, which, in itself, was considered sufficient reason for breaking off relations. In addition, however, the Argentine republic has taken offense at the action of the president of Bolivia, who, it is asserted, has sent circulators to the prefect throughout the country, casting reflections on the Argentine government. La Paz, Bolivia.—Conferences continued in diplomatic quarters with reference to the three-cornered dispute between Bolivia, Peru and Argentina. No statement on this subject was made public. Two thousand Bollivans have petitioned the government that they be enrolled in the army. They offer unconditional support to the cause in order to increase the numbers of Peruvian and Argentine residents continue to leave Bolivia. $23,000 FOR DOING NOTHING. Former Graft Prosecutor Had Strong Pull on United States Treasury. Washington, D. C.—That Francis J. Heney, special counsel of the department of justice and also assistant prosecutor in the so-called graft cases in San Francisco, received from this government last year $23,000 for which he performed no service, was the frank admission of Chairman Tawney of the appropriations committee in the house. "How much did Heney receive during the year 1908?" demanded Mr. Murphy, republican, of Missouri, "and what service did he perform?" Mr. Tawney: "He received $23,000 and performed no services for the government whatever during that year." Subsequently Mr. Tawney said: "As a judge of the Court, Mr. Heney has performed any active service in the last three years. He was appointed November 7, 1903, and his active service continued for about three years, and for which he received in all $69,000." Mr. Tawney stated, however, that Mr. Heney's salary had nothing to do with the $27,000 deficiency for the department of justice, for which provision is made in the urgent deficiency bill. Mr. Heney, he said, had received in all from the government $69,000. Asked by Mr. Cox of Indiana if any of this deficiency was due to the employment of special counsel to prosecute any trust, Mr. Tawney, answering in the affirmative, said the suit against the tobacco trust had occasioned some of it. Mr. Bennett of New York added that the prosecution of the turpentine trust also was responsible for some of it. Mr. Clark of Missouri denounced the appointment of incompetent district attorneys, necessitating, as he said, the employment of special counsel. The practice had grown into a fad, he said, and an expensive fad. He declared that if there had been a competent district attorney or two in the west there would never have been so much stealing of public lands, MRS. EDDY 88 YEARS OLD. Prominent Woman Had Trunk With False. Bottom. New York City.—An indictment for smuggling was handed down by the federal grand jury against Mrs. Fremont B. Chesbrough of Detroit, wife of the owner of the Chesbrough coastwise line of steamers. The case was placed in the hands of the United States district attorney for the district of New Jersey, following the discovery of a double bottom in one of the trunks which Mrs. Chesbrough brought to this country with her last May. Wearing apparel appraised at several thousand dollars was found in this hidden compartment, together with bills and invoices indicating the purchase abroad of a pearl necklace valued at $23,000. The necklace was turned over to the customs officials by Mrs. Chesbrough's attorney. BUDSON RIVER TUNNEL OPENED. Jersey City is Now Within Three Minutes of Broadway. New York City—Jersey City is within three minutes of Broadway, the result of the formal opening of the two downtown tubes of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Company. The New York terminus of these tunnels under the Hudson is at Church, Cortlandt, Day and Fulton streets, and the Jersey City terminus is at the Pennsylvania station. It is planned to open the connection on the New Jersey side with the Erie and Lackawanna stations, and it is promised that within two years the New York extension to the Grand Central station will be in operation. IMBROVEMENT IS SHOWN. Favorable Weather Conditions Improve the Cotton Crop. Memphis, Tenn.—In its weekly summary of crop conditions, The Commercial-Applied Group. Excessively high temperatures prevailed throughout the week except along the Atlantic seaboard; the rainfall was poorly distributed, some sections, as southern Georgia, getting an excess while other sections received none at all. The cotton crop, however, improved everywhere except in Texas and Oklahoma. In Arkansas the rainfall was better distributed than elsewhere, altogether beneficial and the prospects of the state are good. East of the Mississippi river save in localities only, the crop has been put in good state of cultivation but is irregular. Some old cultivation but the cotton that was worked out late is small and the plant has not attained to thriftiness. In Texas and, Southern and Western Oklahoma rain is badly needed. The growth of the plant and the fruiting has been arrested and in Central Texas shedding has begun. The situation is daily growing more serious. The hot dry weather has, however, checked the ravages of the boll weevil. The work of laying by the crop is in progress in all districts. Where the plant is advanced enough to fruit, it is generally doing satisfactorily. Montgomery, Ala.—Reports to The Advertiser show that the weather conditions in Alabama have been propitious for cotton during the past week, much of which has been abandoned will be reclaimed. The boll crop is backward and below the average, the scattered rains and the hot sunshine have given opportunities to work it out. Insects have appeared in a few counties, but the damage is not of a serious nature. Weevils have not reached Alabama. Labor is plentiful at advanced wages. New Orleans, La.-Hot weather and rapid cultivation have greatly minimized the damage wrought by the boll-weevil to the cotton crop in Louisiana, according to reports received by the Picayune covering the week ending July 17. The plant shows material growth, retaining most of its fruit. Estimates place the crop at from two to four weeks late. Reports from Mississippi indicate that sufficient rain has fallen to keep the plant vigorous and maintain the fruiting process. Rapid progress has been made with cultivation, but field work is still considerably behind. NAJORITY FAVOR TAX. Governors of the States Are Polled on Income, Tax. New York City.—In order to ascertain sentiment in the various states of the union on the question of amending the federal constitution so as to provide congress with authority to levy an income tax, a New York newspaper has sent telegrams to the governors of the several states. Of 23 executives who have replied, 15 were in favor of the income tax proposition, 7 were non-committal, or had not sounded public or legislative sentiment and 1 opposed. Governors of the following states replied to the effect that their state legislatures would probably ratify the proposed income tax amendment: Florida, Montana, Nevada, Colorado, Mississippi, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Texas, Kentucky and Iowa. The non-committal replies were from Georgia, Illinois, Rhode Island, Wyoming, Missouri, Oregon and Washington. In Utah only, however, was it forecasted that the amendment would fall. POPULAR WOMAN JUDGE When Marrying Couples She Omits the Word "obey." Beloit, Kan.—So popular have become the marriage ceremonies performed by Probate Judge Mary Cooper, who is said to be the only woman probate judge in the United States, that it has become a fad for young women to insert the proviso that Judge Cooper shall officiate at the weddings. Judge Cooper's popularity has come about through the omission of the word "obey" when tying the knot. Newsv Paragraphs. A warrant has been issued in London for the arrest of Leon Ling, the Chinaman who is suspected of having murdered Elsie Sigel in New York last month. Barney Oldfield, the veteran automobile driver, was run over and badly hurt in Michigan avenue, Chicago, Ill., by an automobile. The second trial of Patrick Calhoun of the United railroads, charged with bribery, was continued in San Francisco, Cal., with the examination of talesmen. Although a fresh panel of one hundred men were subpoenaed the work commenced with the interrogation of twenty-five talesmen already in court. Isaac A. Martin, for many years cashier of the Knoxville Water company, Knoxville, Tenn., submitted in the criminal court of Knox county to the charge of embezzlement, and was given a sentence of five years in the state penitentiary. The sum involved was $6,000. That Lieutenant James N. Sutton, who met death in a mysterious manner on the grounds of the marine barracks at Annapolis on the night of October 12, 1807, declared he had been challenged to a duel by Lieutenant Robert E. Adams, was the statement made at Wheeling, W. Va., by Harry B. Thomas of Martins Ferry, Ohio, who knew Adams and Sutton and was with them on the night of the tragedy. AVIATOR IN THE OCEAN Latham Fails to Fly Across the English Channel. PICKED UP BY TORPEDO BCAT After Making About 12 Miles. Monoplane Refused to Work and Dropped Calais, France.—Herbert Latham, the French aviator, made a daring, but unsuccessful, attempt to cross the English Channel in his monoplane. He got away splendidly, under perfect conditions, from the top of the Chalk cliff, at Saugatte, and had covered over half the distance, at an average height of 500 feet, when the motor slowed down and he was obliged to descend. The air space of the wings, however, kept the machine afloat, and the monoplane, lying like a wounded bird, was stretched out on the water when the French torpedo boat destroyer Harpon, which had kept abreast throughout the journey, came alongside, and picked up the aviator Mr. Harpon, and still sat on the saddle, which is located above the wings and behind the motor, calmly smoking a cigarette. He immediately announced that he was not discouraged by the failure, and would try again as soon as the machine was renamed. The watchers on both shores had an anxious hour after the machine was lost to view behind a thin vell of fog on the French side, and apprehension was not allayed until the semaphore at Calais reported that the Harpon was returning with M. Latham, uninjured, aboard. On landing the aeronaut was given a frantic reception. The failure of the motor is attributed to a bad carburettor on the monoplane, which, when four hundred miles away, will sit there to descend. When the machine was 200 feet above the water, Latham shut off the power, and the machine glided down gently, alighting on the waves with hardly a splash. TO ADVERTISE THE SOUTH. Steps Taken by Committee of Southern Publishers' Association. This committee has been in session at Tate Springs, Tenn., and worked several days on general plans for the proposed publicity campaign. NEW SOUTHERN HEADQUARTERS Railway May Move Its Offices to Atlanta Washington, D. C.—The directors of the Southern Railway company have made an appropriation for the purpose of renting a building in this city, to be occupied by some of the executive officers and the entire auditing department. The general office building of the Southern is one of the largest structures in Washington, but it only accommodates one-half of the general office force, and new quarters are made necessary. The fact that the directors decided to rent a building instead of purchasing ground and erecting their own structure is regarded here as confirmatory evidence of the report that the Southern intends, in the not very distant future, to move the general offices of the company to some point on the southern portion of the road. Officials of the Southern here who have heard this report say that, after the road has been double-tracked throughout, and the extensive improvements which were started about four years ago have been made, the headquarters will be moved from Washington. While a number of southern cities are suggested for the general headquarters of the Southern, Atlanta, is not generally discussed in this connection. OLD MAN GETS GAY. Alexander Harriette Leaves His Home—Found "Doing" Gotham, New York City—Alexander Harriette one hundred and seven years old, and a veteran of the Mexican war, who disappeared from his daughter's home in Yonkers, N. Y., has been found by the police enjoying the simple sights of our city and returned to his home. Harriette was found in a moving picture show, and that his relatives believed him to be an old and feeble to leave the house without a guardian, and he wanted to show them that he was just as young as he used to be. He said that he had been living in hotels, visiting theaters and been to Coney Island four times. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society SOL. C.

Often an accident puts a man on his feet just in time to pick up something good. --- --- F we put aside the popular preconceptions of Lincoln, and look instead at the recorded facts, we shall find evidence of his remarkable intellect at every stage of his adult career. In his youth, indeed, he had the misty vagaries proper to youth and like so many great men, he came to maturity late. But from the time that he entered seriously on his life work, his mental powers were held in high, almost reverent regard by all who were close to him. In one sense, he was not a great lawyer. He lacked the broad education, to begin with; and he lacked even more the soldier-of-fortune conscience that enables a man to fight on one side as well as on another, in a bad cause as well as in a good one. Lincoln's intellect was too keen, too cold, too accurate, to tolerate quibbles or evasions; he hated crooked reasoning quite as virulently as crooked dealing. But when he believed in his case, he could state that case in a way which made argument almost needless; and he had that sure and certain mark of genius, the ability to brush aside non-essentials and seize at once on the central, vital issue. And yet, in the struggles of politics, the work which he really loved, the same qualities show out in yet higher relief. Seldom if ever was there a more consummate politician than Abraham Lincoln. The aim of his early political life was to save the Union. If Lincoln ever made a wrong move to gain his goal, history has failed to record it. When he put his famous question to Douglas, as to the possibility of excluding slavery from the territories, his friends thought he had thrown away his own future and that of his party. Lincoln knew better. He was trying, not to keep Douglas from the Senate, but to keep him from the White House. He could see already that the crisis of the struggle would come, not in 1858, but in 1860. He offered the gambit, and Douglas accepted it—to find himself checkmated two moves later.—Lippincott's.

Johnson has been taken from San Jose, where he was conviéted, to San Qiientin prison, to serve a sentence of seven years. When he has served his term niost any city or village in the country can claim him at will and send him away on another charge of bigamy. He says that he has mar- ried so many women that he cannot xemember them all. He was able to‘recall twenty of his victims, but ag his list consists, with only two ex- ceptions, of Western women, and as he fs known to have operated heavily din marriage vows in New York and New Jersey and New England, it is Delieved that the twenty represent less than half of his actual wives. He does not include Miss Julla A. Fredericks, of Freeport, L. 1.. whom he married in 1900, decamping next day with $1600 of her money. Johnson is sixty-four years old, portly and fine looking and, despite the handicap of years, is known to have married elght women since No- vember, 1905. His loyemaking has been on even a moré génerous scale, .and, according to his own statement, he ‘courted ten Portland (Ore.) Women at one time, but married “only one of the lot. In probably hun- dreds of instances he merely made love to women and skipped away with sums of their money varying “trom $200 to several thousands. Made It a Profession. Johnson dates the beginning of his criminal career three years “back, ‘but as the marriage with Miss Fred- ericks took place nine years ago, and he cam® to this country in 1871, there is no telling how long he has made a living by the role of lover. “In 1906," he said, “I quit ny busi- ness of buylng horses, and from that ;day to this time I have been making my living by marrying, making love to women, getting their money and deserting them.” Johnson was known as John Mad- ‘son, John C. Anderson and C. O. Moeller, and it was under the name of Madson that he married Miss Fredericks. He said that at first he ‘was a woman hater, having been sep- arated in Germany from a sweetheart wha later died. “I married only one ‘woman under the name of Madson,” he said. “Her name was Jones—it I remember rightly—Ada Jones. I got $1800 from her because she sald she loved tie. I could have got $50,000." The bigamist ¢redits Mrs. Mary “Brown, whom he married in Spring- field, Mass., in 1905, and immediate- ly deserted, with being his first and only legal wife, but it is believed that perhaps a score antedate her. Johnson says he was born on March 11, 1845, in Flensburg, Schleswig-Holstein. He learned mar- Ine engineering and worked as a ma- chinist in Trenton, N. J.. when he came to America in 1871. To Live on Cupid's Bounty. ‘After his desertion of the Spring- field widow Johuson went to New Or- jeans as a horse trader. Then his health falled and he determined to live on Cupid's bounty. His next ventures according to his story, was with Mrs. Sylvla Pollard de Bonnett at San Francisco. | “-Two weeks after this false mar- riage Johnson said he had to go to Germany and left town. Next he ap- peared fh Portland, where he mar-| ried Mrs. Eliza Jones, a widow of a wealthy coal dealer. Two weeks after the marriage he took her to Oakland, Cal., where, with $1800 of her money in his pockets, he skipped gout for Memphis.

On June 15 he wedded Catherine Hoene, of San Diego, a maiden forty-two years old, who gave him $200, He was traced back to San “Francisco by Miss Minnle Cather, whom he had married, and then the police got him, List of Wives. Here fs Johnson's “official” list of his wives: Mrs, Catherine Hoene, San Diego; Mrs. Josephine Trethe- way, Stockton; Mrs. Sylvia Pollard de ‘Bonnett, San, Francisco; Mrs. Henrietta Leopold, San Franclsco; ‘Eliza Jones, Portland; Mrs. Mary Brown; Sprivgfield, Mass; Mrs. Frances Hepburo, Oakland; Miss Minnie Cather, San Franelsco; Mrs. Josephine Henninger, Oakland; Mrs. Birdie King, Hot Springs, Ark.; Mrs. Elizabeth M.

Others were Miss Carrio Bandford, of Roseville, N. J., $1500: Miss- Bertha Love. of Newark, $600, and Miss Josephine Hanson,’ South Brooklyn, $600. From most of the women, Johnson says, he obtained money or jewelry, or both. When in the East Johnson ensnared women with a pfcture of his mythical ranch In Southern Call- fornia, with Its orange groves and mellow climate. In the West he de- scribed his palatial dream home on the Hudson. But now his pleasures are ended,’ He fears that he will succumb to his weak heart beforo he fs released from San Quentin. He asserts that the only wife he ever really loved was Mrs. de Bonnett. He advises women to keep away from ‘matrimonial agencies, declar- ing that he never used them except with deliberate intent to defraud. On the train from San Jose to this city women crowded abont and seemed to take great Interest in him. “It just goes to show you women are fools,” remarked Johnson to the Sheritt. “Look at them. If any man would come along here and say nice things to most.of them, be polite and show interest~in their doings and hopes they would smile and smirk until the poor man would find himself tak- ing plty’on them and proposing. “That was what got me Into trouble. Men of my, temperament are always in danger unless we re- fuse absolutely even to talk to women.” Johnson's confession fs full of comment. Here are a few extracts whic show his philosophy. “I've led a ratber sporty life. and. I want to say that whatever! i got out of womei I spent on them right away. They kept me broke. “I have found it did not pay to be soft and sweet with the women. Treat them a little harsh and be a Uttle distant and they will come to you. If J saw a woman that I really Med T made up my mjnd I would make her fall in love with me, and I seldom failed. “Once started with the Idea of get> ting money from women, I coutitued to dupe,them, and.I did not marry those from whom I could get money without.” Inventor of Night Flying Machine: _ Says Big Company is Forming.

For this reason great interest attaches to Sequoyah, the Cherokee, who, having seen the whites communicate with one anoth- er by writing,ccomposed an alphabet to represent the sounds of Lis own language. The story of his invention of the alphabet and its final adoption by the Cherokee government Is one that all the old-time Cherokees still remem- ber and talk of with pride. At first the Indlans did not have much falth in Sequoyah’s alphabet.’ Up to that time his standing) among bis people had not been of the highest, and ther did not consider him one of thelr wise men. They said he was‘a dream- et and that he was lazy. Some even hinted that he was crazy, and at best hho wag considered harmless. “From boyhood he had been scratchirfg his hleroglyphies on rocks and chips and trees, or made them with strands of pebbles in the sand. The older heads of the tribe paid little attention to him, as they thought his pastime of making letters was merely something to keep him busy and amuse his clouded intellect. But as time passed Sequoyah's alphabet began to assume a Yefinite form, and he finally an- nounced that he could teach it to oth- ers so that they could send messages. ‘When completed. it consisted of elgh- ty-five characters, which represented syllables and sounds ‘and was pho- netic In kind. In its conception It fs the very foundation of the method by which children are taught fo read to-day, and he asked to be allowed to teach it by establishing schools in the tribe. + But the wise men of the tribe were Sucredulous, and sald ,it would only be fooling away time to teach it to the children. At that time Sequoyah was married and had a family. He taught his al- phabet to’his own little kirl, at that time a child of abont efght, and also to several other children of the tribe? He was then living in Alabama, but contemplated emigrating to the In- dian Territory, and he sald his object in teaching it to the children was that it might be preserved in case he was lost, as the Cherokees had no mate- rial upon witch his alphabet could be written and-kept with certainty. He first made the trip to the Cher- okee Nation alone {n order to look up a location. After his arrival he wrote a letter to his Ittle daughter, and sent it back by some Cherokees who were returhing to Alabama, When the little girl read the letter, and told of the things that had happened and where her father was, the other mem- bers of the tribe were surprised and the wise men were Impressed. There began to dawn upon them the useful- ness of all of Sequoyah's dreaming, and shortly they began to teach it to their children. Not long after this Sequoyah em!- grated to the Cherokee Nation, where his alphabet was soon adopted by the Cherokee government, who estab- lished it in a system Of public schools. An official paper of the. nation was also established and printed in those characters, and*that paper lasted and was printed in Cherokee up to the final dissolution of the tribe, in 1906, The Cherokee government voted Se- quoyah an annuity in recognition of Lis work, and at his death it went to hig wife, Pa < | ‘The primal object “of Seqoyah in the use of his alphabet was to find 2 means by which he might unify and hold togéther the various bands and tribes of his nation. From time to time bodies of Cherokees would be- come dissatisfied with acts of the tribe, and go off to live by them- selves. ‘There was no medium ot in- tercourse among them by_which they, might understand one another. a quoyah saw fn that the final disinte- gration of his nation, and all the pow- ers of his great mind were bent to stop the clannish discontent and weld all of the parties and sub-tribes Into one uniform nation. “It was his zeat to reclaim one of those lost clans that finally cost him his life. cs About the year 1800 the’ United States Government contemplated measures for removing the Cherokees west of the Mississippi. Later they were consulted upon the matter, and anewered through-their wise men and chiefs. The majority, consented, but the question divided them up Into parties and bands, and one day one of those"bands gathered together, em- barked in boats on the Tennessee, floated away and was never heard of again. It was supposed they had gone west to the Rocktes. After Sequoyah had seen the triumph of his alphabet he began SOME FACTS ABOUT IVORY.

It Was one of the malin foods the Indfan ‘depended upon on a hunting trip. The party expected to kill enough game to furnish them with meat. . All of the men of the party except Seqhoyah returned in a few weeks. They sald that when they came to the plains Sequoyah became sick with dysentery from drinking the*al- kall water, which was all they’ had there. On ‘account of his sickness they frequently had to stop to let Nim rest and recuperate. Game was very scarce, and Sequoyah would send the men out each day to hunt while he stayéd in camp. They madu it B point to return every evening, but one day they went so far that they did not get back that night. Next day when they got back to thelr camp, which was in a.cave in the ‘hills, Sequoyah was gone, but had eft them a letter stating that they ‘would find him at a caye a little fur- ‘ther om, They went‘on fo that cave and found him dead. He had suc- cumbed to the dysentery‘and thirst, and had left them no words that they could find, except his bistory manu- script of tie Cherokees, which he had taken with him. They decided at once to return home. so, wrapping his body together with the manu- script of his history in a blanket, they laid him high on the shelf of rocks 1 the cave, and started back, Intending to return with a larger party for the remains. When those men got back home and told their story another party was at once organized and started back to get Sequoyah’s body, but ther could not fiid the cave where the men had left him, In- vain they searched, and after being gone rev- eral weeks they returned and report- ed their bad fuck, Other parties were sent out, but they had uo better suc- cess. The men who had been with Sequoyah were utterly unable to find even the caves where they had camped, and concequently the last resting place of the great Cherokee has always remained unknown. Several years ago a skeleton was found In a cave in the Wichita“moun- tatns, which was thought at first to be that of Sequoyah, but it could not be identified with certainty. One of the thigh bones of the skeleton was defective, showing an Injury in Hfe. Sequoyah limped. from a lame thigh caused by white! swelling in child- hood, and that seemed to be one point of identity. A Jeffersonian medal was also found with the skeleton, and tt Is belleved that Sequoyah bad such a imedal given him by the United States Government—but that {s not certain. While Seqitoyah was still living In Alabama he was sent by the Cherokees as a delegate to Washing- ton on the questfon of the removal of the tribe, and while there he recelved many complimentary attentions trout the officials, His picture was made, and fs now preserved among the ar- chives at Washington, but whether he recelved amedal is not known, Of all the brilliant Cherokees, Se- quoyah was the greatest, and his name is still held by the Cherokees in profound reverence. He was unlet- tered and knew no English, but that did not affect the powers of his active mind. Not only his own people, but also the whites, recognized his genius and strove to do him honors. It {s after him that sclentists have named. the big trees of Californta Sequoyah Gigantus.

SATURDAY JULY 24, 1909 WELL, another bill has been introduced for the division of the tax by races for school purposes. The colored citizens have nothing to fear in this distribution if the officers do not, take advantage of them. It has been announced on high authority that the colored people pay a great deal more tax than they receive in school funds. Let the division come on and put conscientious officials in charge of the same. ANOTHER flagrant bill of class legislation, has been introduced in the legislature, requiring colored secret institutions to give bond of $5,000 for operating in the State and to pay an annual tax. The colored secret institutions are doing much good for the unfortunate people in this State and are keeping hundreds of them from being a charge on the public. The legislature of Georgia should not be narrow enough to enact into a law such an uniquitous measure. Negro Farm Owners. Those embraced in the Southern Central States, 27.2 per cent, of all the farms in the South Atlantic States, 30 per cent; in the South ern—Florida, 33 per cent; Georgia, 39.9 per cents; Alabama 42 per cents; Louisiana, 50.2 per cent, and Mississippi 55 per cent. The Negroes have more farms in Louisiana and Mississippi than white men, but they are less in area than the white men. When we come to farms in the hands of owners we find that in the twelve Southern States Negro landlords in 1900 owned 173,352 farms and the aggregate wealth of the Negroes was $3000,000,000. The race that owned not an acre of land forty years ago is now possessor as landlords of an area larger than Belgium and Holland combined and rapidly increasing. The Negro is Advancing. The Negro is Advancing. Whatever progress may or may not have been made by the Negro along intellectual lines, it is apparent from figures found in the latest volume of the studies of Atlanta University on the Negro problem that the colored race in Georgia at least has been advancing steadily by way of property holdings. According to these figures, Georgia Negroes in 1875 owned property to the assessed value of $5,393,885. In 1880 their holdings had increased to $5,764,293 and in 1885 to $8,153,390. In 1890 the Negroes of the state held property assessed at $12,322,003 and in 1895 this had increased to $12,941,230. In 1900 the property owned by Negroes was valued at $14,118,720, and in 1905 their holdings represented $20,616,468. Negro property owners in Georgia in 1907 were assessed $25,904,822. Obviously the Negro is advancing in the property line at least.—Manchester (N. H.) Union. The Best Session the K. of P. Ever Held. The Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias held at Thomasville, last week, will go into history as the best one ever held. The attendance was large and the enthusiasm very great. Grand Chancellor Creswill rendered a report that was commended by the delegates. The reports of the other officers were equally good. The old officers were relected with the exception of the Grand Attorney. To this position Lawyer F. B. Pettie was an easy victor over Mr. H. L. Johnson. Dr. Turner's victory ov Dr. Williams was easy. Col. "Boss" Warren proved his popularity by snowing his opponents under. The best showing of any of the opposition to the old officers was that made by Mr. E. W. Sherman for Grand Vice Chancellor. His vote was a flattering one, and nearly every delegate stated that if it were-not for his supposed alliance with the Atlanta' crowd, he would have won easily. At any rate the friends of Mr. Sherman commend him for his popularity. of our friends placed THE TRIBUNE in nomination for the official organ. Many of our friends rallied to our support, and for which we feel very grateful. The Georgia Baptist was selected, but the printing was divided between the two offices. The Georgia Baptist and THE TRIBUNE are the only newspapers in the State employing colored printers and conducting a job printing plant. COURTS OF CALANTHE. The Grand Court under Mrs. Barnes was an interesting one. Complete harmony reigned and Mrs. Barnes proved herself the idol of the hour. Her report showed the order to be in a healthy condition. Much business was transaction. The next session will be held with that of the Knights at Athens, next year. Following are the Grand Court officers: G. W. C., Mrs.'R. L. Barnes, Sariannah. G. W.

Butler. Augusta, Ga., July 20, 1909. In a signed statement under the date of the 7th inst., Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson, among other thing says:—"If Alf Wimberly, Charley Creswill and Joe Watson, each one of whom is a mulatto or better—will put to print their howlings charging dishonesty on the part of the District Grand Lodge officers as they have done by word of mouth. I will stake my life and guarantee to the Odd Fellows of the state that within a week I will have each and all in jail; and as soon as the Court of the State can try the cases will land each and all in the chain gang." As to the above statement I wish to say every charge in it in so far as it relates to me is absolutely false and known by Mr. Johnson to be false at the time he wrote it. Mr. Johnson knew at the time he wrote it, that my father was a colored man, my mother a colored woman. He also knew that I had made no such charge against the Executive Committee. While I do not purpose to follow H. L. Johnson into the sewer, yet I would be less than a man did I not denounce his statements, in so far as they relate to me as absolute lies, known to Johnson to be such at the time he uttered them. And for his benefit, and to give him the great opportunity to try his hand at jailing me, I hereby reiterate every word, every line, every statement contained in my letter of announcement. If that be a label, let the galled jade make the most of it. The Odd Fellows of Georgina know H. L. Johnson, and they know me. They will decide who is right. They will determine by their votes whether they prefer a so called attorney who will approve the buying of property at several times its assessed value with the money that belong to our widows and orphans, They will determine at Albany, as the Knights of Pythias determined at Thomasville whether they will continue to employ a man, on a salary who spends more of his time in abusing members of the Order who pay him, than in the discharge of his legitimate duty. They will determine whether they will submit to being disfranchised by their hirelings that said hirelings may continue to sign the pay roll. They will determine whether they ought retain and pay out their hard earned dollars for legal talent (?) which has been well nigh unanimously repudiated by the level headed Knights of Pythias of Finally brethren, I beg to say that the main idea prompting me to notice Johnson's scurrilous card is to expose the tactics being resorted to to becloud the issue and deceive you, nay to throttle the will of the members of the Order. I admonish you to come on to Albany and quit yourselves like men, thus protecting the rights of your widows and your orphans, and assert your rights to a hearing in all mattets touching your welfare and your money, the machinations of the men who have well nigh bankrupted you to the contrary notwithstanding. Fraternally yours, A. W. Wimberly. Savannah, Ga., July 22, 1909. Editor SAVANNAH TRIBUNE; Sir: The truth that no man can attempt to destroy others without himself sustaining injury finds exemplification in the fall of the ex-"Official Organ." We heard a mighty rumbling from Thomasville last week, and the cry now is "On to Albany!" Every true Knight in Georgia is congratulating himself upon the reelection of General C. D. Creswill and his entire staff of true and tried officers, and the complete routing of the insurgents. Having shaken off the incubus, we predict that the Knights of Pythias of Georgia will take on greater energy. But to my subject. I learn that brother Davis, in his mad effort to reelect himself and Ingran, the pretended D.G. M., is resorting to the trick of suspending many lodges in open violation of law simply because the delegates are opposed to him and his man Friday. I warn him and his stool pigeon that they are playing with fire. They fail to understand and appreciate the manhood and temper of the Odd Fellows of Georgia. Ere the passing of August they will be sadder but wiser men. Through scheming Davis, Link Johnson and their confederates tried to dismiss brother Wilson as D. G. M. To this high handed scheme brother Wilson promptly made an appeal. This appeal, brother Wilson informs me was arbitrarily held up by brother Ben Davis, D. G. S., for several months and until Grand Master Wilson had to order it sent on to the S. C. M., this suspension of D. G. M., Wilson caused a temporary absence, and by operation of law Deputy District Grand Master Singleton is the only legal acting D. G. M. Brother Ingram knows he is not D. G. M., and the fact that a man who occupies the position of instructor of our youth and resorts to such questionable methods establishes his absolute unfitness for the position. He is an usurper pure and simple, and yet I am told that he is going to Albany asking the Odd Fellows to elect him District Grand Master! They seem to regard the Odd Fellows of this state as fools to be abused and kicked about at will. But the worm is turning. EVERY ACT ILLEGAL. Every act of Brother Ingram as pretended District Grand Master is illegal and he knows it. And this is all the more important since this man in open and shameless violation of our laws, has participated in the misappropriation of $22,000.00 for a piece of property valued at $5,500.00 in 1909, and returned for $9,000.00 for the year 1910. This assessment for 1910 I learn was made by the tax assessors of the city of Atlanta. THEY MAKE NO DEFENSE. Their "Grund Attorney," Mistah Link Johnson, of course approved the transaction, and yet he has the termerity to prate about his ability to put Odd Fellows who object to it in jail. I very much fear it will require all of brother Grand Attorney's le g al ability to keep out of jail himself. His bluff and mud-chunking will frighten very few Odd Fellows, if any. But why do they not come out in the open and defend their position? Do they mean to spend $22,000.00 of our money illegally then treat the Odd Fellows with contempt and tell them to go to—? In my next letter I purpose to introduce to the Odd Fellows of Georgia the Pretender, Berl S. Ingram, the man of check and, and, thats all. Where is brother Singleton? Hearty Odd Fellow. Odd Fellows Official Route The regular delegates to the Odd Fellows Grand Lodge at Albany has selected the Seaboard Air Line as its official route to Albany leaving Union Station, Monday morning August 8th, at 8 o'clock, city time. It is the shortest and most direct route. The accommodation is among the best. This special coach will be met by other delegations all along the route, espe cially at Cordele. It is the most popular route and all persons going must purchase tickets over the Seaboard Air Line. Knights Going to Beaufort. Next week the Grand Lodge of South Carolina meets in Beaufort, Knights from all over South Carolina will be there. The big parade takes place on Thursday. Savannah will lend its quoito in making this parade a success. The Katie will leave here Wednesday night at 12 o'clock taking Royal Co. and its friends. At 7:30 o'clock Thursday morning the Pilot Boy will take Crescent Lodge, Feay Company and friends, reaching Beaufort at 12 o'clock long before, in fact, three hours before the parade. Both boats will no doubt carry big crowds. St. Mary's Dots We are sorry to note the death of Mrs. Chloe Frazier who died Sunday last. She was beloved by all who knew her. She was a faithful member of Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church. She leaves a husband, three daughters and a son to mourn her death. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. Mrs. Ella Trayeq of Fernandina Fl., was called home to the bed side of her sick mother, Mrs. Holzendorf. Mr. Hugh B. Benjamin and many friends were there when the end came. Mr. T. Butler has been very sick but is better at present. Mrs. Rose Morris was also sick but is improving. Mrs. Daisy L. Green is sick, we hope for her a speedy recovery. Mr. Anderson Davis was cut by Mr. Dan Stewart, both had to pay $15 each. Mrs. Lucy Scipio of Fernandina, Fla., was here to attend the funeral of her mother Mrs. Fraiser Mrs. Mason Harris of White Spring, Fla., is here visiting her her husband's people, Mrs. V. R. Roberts and others. Mrs. Phillis Palmer after spending three weeks with her cousin Miss Belle, has returned to her home Eulania, Ga. Rev. F. Foreman and Mrs. L. S. Robinson have returned from the Zion Association and report a fine session. It was held at Folkston, Ga. We are glad to say Miss H. Bell is improving from her long illness. We will be glad to see her out again. Guess who's the two female that wanted to fight on last Friday night, don't do so again. Early Riser. St. Philip Dots. St. Philip Dots. Notwithstanding the extreme hot weather on last Sunday, our members and friends were out at the eleven o'clock service to hear Presiding Elder R. H. Sinnifleton of the West Savannah District. His subject was the "University of Jesus christ." In part he said England, France, Germany, America, in fact, each monarchy, and their worldly friend, is judged the worldly. This discourse was one of the most interesting that has been delivered at St. Philip in sometime, and everybody congratulated themselves for being out to hear Rev. Singleton. Presiding Elder Singleton was a candidate for the Bishopric at the last General Conference at Norfolk, Va. He is a power in the pulpit and is destined to be a great man in the A M E Church. The convention of the Sunday schools. Allen Christian Endeavor League and the Missionary Society of the West Savannah District convened at Halcyondale, Ga., on last Wednesday. St. Philip is well represented. Rev. J. Lindsay headed the whole delegation The Sunday school is represented by Prof: J H Baldwin, superintendent; W O Castleberry, asst' superintendent; Prof. B S Reed, chorister. The Allen C E L is headed by Miss Safrona Gaston. The Missionary Society is headed by Mrs. L A Newton. It goes without saying that St. Philip's will make an excellent report and those who represent the various departments mentioned will come back with flying colors. Our conference claim or dollar money is now due and some of our members are paying up. So govern yourselves accordingly.

On Wednesday morning took place the funeral of Patricia, Butler, one of the children of St. Benedict's school, who died a happy death a few days ago. The funeral service was most touching. The school children walked up to the church in procession behind the church and touched the tomb with the touching inscription "To our dear and beloved companion Patricia Butler."

OF NEW YORK 1 It Will Be Noticed That the Wheels Open Out, so That the Men May Work the Gun Unhindered. Gun Carriage May Be Swung in Complete Circle Around Pin at End of Tail. The promontories in the career of the Rev. John Wesley Hill may be briefly pointed out. He was born at Kalida, Ohio, May S. 1863. His father, the Rev. John Wesley Hill, D. D., is a Methodist preacher of the heroic type, having been in the active ministry for half a century. The pastor of the Metropolitan Temple obtained his secular education at the Ohio Northern University, and studied theology in Boston Theological Seminary. While a student in Boston he was pastor of Eggleston Square Church, which it soon became necessary to enlarge in order to accommodate the growing congregation. Prior to this his trial experience in the Iliterancy occurred at Sprague, then Washington Territory. In 1888 he was appointed to the First Church at Ogden, Utah. He soon inaugurated a relentless warfare upon the Mormon Hierarchy, and during his five years' pastorate at Ogden the city was rescued from the political control of the . FOR USE AGAINST AIRSHIPS. Novel Gun Placed at the Disposal of the German War Office. Like every other weapon of offense, the airship has soon been followed with a weapon of defense against its attacks. The German War Office has had placed at its disposal a gun manufactured and designed at the Krupp works at Essen especially for use THE KRUPP AIRS It Will Be Noticed That the Wheels Work the Gun Gun Carriage May Be Swung in Comple against airships, and it is understood that the British War Office is also considering certain inventions devised for a similar purpose. It has been argued that naval gunners could easily disable a Zeppelin airship. The target presented broadside on is large, but stem on the Zeppelin offers only-a forty foot circle. If the height of the airship is one thousand feet present naval guns could not be trained upon it at less than a distance of about a mile and a half, and at that distance a forty foot mark is not a certain target, even on the level, to a moving ship. At the elevation required it would not only be exceedingly difficult to estimate the range, but even if the range were known the allowance for curvature of trajectory would be so great as to render a hit the merest fluke. The new type of gun manufactured by Messrs. Krupp, it is asserted, will destroy a dirigible airship. The shell which it fires has a diameter of sixty-five millimeters, weighs nine pounds and is discharged with an initial velocity of 1841 feet. The gun is raised to an angle of sixty-degrees and the projectile can reach a height of 18,150 feet. The shells are filled with a highly inflammable, gas, which will cause the gas bag of an airship to explode when it hits it. The stock of gold in European banks is greater by nearly $300,000,-000 than it was a year ago. The increase in the Bank of France alone has been about $140,000,000. Mormon Church, the first Gentile victory in Utah. He also erected at Ogden the finest church edifice between Denver and San Francisco. Thence he went to Helena, Montana, and in 1893 to Minneapolis, where he founded and built the Fowler Memorial Church at a cost of $150,000. In 1896 he was appointed to the pastorate of the First Methodist Episcopal Church at Fostoria, Ohio. In 1899 he went to Grace Church, Harrisburg, Pa., where he remained six years. Here he also served as Chaplain of the State Senate. From Harrisburg he was assigned to James Church, Brooklyn. Within three years he added 600 members to the church roll and then was called to his present great work at the Metropolitan Temple, in New York City. When he took charge it was practically without membership; to-day there are on its muster rolls over 700 names and a debt of $40,000 has been wiped out. Swinburne. Down at Harper's a group of literary men were discussing the death of Swinburne. "His wit was of the subtlest kind," said Colonel Harvey, who had met the poet on various occasions in London. "I attended a dinner once at which Swinburne was present. Seated next to him, was a titled Briton of the type we are so fond of caricaturing—a drawing, fat-headed noodle. With an air of great condescension he turned to Swinburne and said: "Aw, Mr. Swinburne, I passed your house the other day." "Did you, indeed?" replied the poet, with just the suspicion of a twinkle in his eye. "I am delighted to hear it. Thank you, so much!" — New York Times.

It was a royally slow progress to reach the doors. Now the nimble motor cars speed up to the porfaals, drop their passengers and speed away again, so that there is almost no delay. Even the task of sending the audience home after the performance is accomplished in considerably less time than of old. The improvement takes away a minor hardship which gave society the precious privilege of grumbling. Wherefore it may not be altogether welcome.

The engagement is announced at London of Robert Conningsby Clarke, son of the late Colonel F. C. H. Clarke, and Dorothy, daughter of William Diehl, of Philadelphia. Mrs. N. A. Gladding, a wealthy Indianapolis woman, failed to declare apparel in her trunks because she supposed only goods bought "aboard" instead of "abroad" were dutiable. Marquise de la Rochebriant said the advantage of buying a title from her was that an American heiress would not run the risk of getting a profligate nobleman for a husband. A woman met another in Fifth avenue, New York City, and claimed a dog that was being led. A policeman took both women and the dog to Yorkville Court.

The individual doing garrison duty is fit for the trust and faith of men. To decide the all important question of coffee, whether or not it is really the hidden cause of physical ails and approaching fixed disease, one should make a test of 10 days by leaving off coffee entirely and using well-made Postum. If relief follows you may know to a certainty that coffee has been your vicious enemy. Of course you can take it back to your heart again, if you like to keep sick. A lady says: "I had suffered with stomach trouble, nervousness and terrible sick headaches ever since I was a little child, for my people were always great coffee drinkers and let us children have all we wanted. I got so I thought I could not live without coffee," but I would not acknowledge that it caused my suffering. "Then I read so many articles about Postum that I decided to give it a fair trial. I had not used it two weeks in place of coffee_until I began to feel like a different person. The headaches and nervousness disappeared, and whereas I used to be sick two or three days out of a week while drinking coffee I am now well and strong and sturdy seven days a week, thanks to Postum. "I had been using Postum three months and had never been sick a day when I thought I would experiment and see if it really was coffee that caused the trouble, so I began to drink coffee again, and inside of a week I had a sick spell. I was so ill I was soon convinced that coffee was the cause of all my misery, and I went back to Postum, with the result that I was soon well and strong again and determined to stick to Postum and leave coffee alone in the future."

Fashions THE LACE COAT New York City.—The blouse that is closed at the left of the front is a favorite one of the season and has a great many practical advantages. It is simple and girlish and is very easy 1 to slip on and off. This one can be made either with the long plain sleeves or with those in regulation shirt waist style and the neck can be finished with the fashionable Dutch 1 collar or with a neck band. Plain linen trimmed with striped is the material illustrated. The blouse is made with fronts and back. There are tucks laid over the shoulders, which extend to the waist line at the back, but only for a short distance at the front. The plain sleeves are made in one piece each, and can be finished at the wrists to suit the fancy. The shirt waist sleeves are gathered and joined to straight cuffs. When the Dutch collar is used it can be either joined to the neck edge or finished separately and adjusted over it. The quantity of material required for the sixteen-year size is three and seven-eighth yards twenty-four, two and five-eighth yards thirty-two, two and five-eighth yards forty-four inches wide with three-quarter yards any width for the belt and trimming. Girl's Dress. A semi-princess dress for a young girl was a neat attraction in white batiste; trimmed with flounce of embroidery in a banana shade. That is, the flounce was white and embroidered in a small pattern of banana colored flowers. Bands of scalloped insertion decorated the seams. The yoke, and sleeve arrangement was white net. The colors are extremely beautiful in a combination, and it is really a wonder that more white and buff tints are not used, especially when there is so much demand for color schemes. Black and White. With the white serge or other light suit finished with collar and cuffs of black-moire is carried a handbag of the motre. Rolled Hat Brim: A modish touch is seen in the hat brim rolled up at one side and fastened against the crown with fruit or flowers. This rolling is smarter if against the side front rather than directly on the side. Pinafore Bodico. The pinafore bodice is one of the latest developments of fashion and is exceedingly attractive. It is worn over a guipme and it consequently can be made from almost any seasonable material. This one is simple in the extreme and makes its own finish at the lower edge. In the illustration it is made of white linen with threads of blue and is worn over a guipme of tucked net. For the neck and armhole edges any banding can be utilized or some pretty little braided design could be substituted. The pinafore is made with front and back portions. The front is fitted by means of dart tucks and is extended to form a girdle, which is lapped over onto the backs. The guipme is a plain fitted one with long one-piece sleeves. The quantity of material required for the medium size is, for the pinafore, two and five-eight yards twenty-one or twenty-four, two yards thirty-two or one and a half yards forty-four inches wide two and a half yards 1 of banding; for the gulmpe one yard of material thirty-six with one and x 2 seven-eighth yards eighteen for the yoke and sleeves.

General Passenger Agt., Atlanta, Ga. The Road to Success. Benjamin Franklin, the great American, when asked for the secret of success, gave the following maxims: One today is worth two to-morrows. Eat not to fullness; drink not to elevation. They that won't be counseled can't be helped. Drive thy business; let not thy business drive thee. He that hath a calling hath an office of profit and honor. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes or habitation. Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterward. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or avoidable. Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation. Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessaries. Use no hurtful-decelt; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly. A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose all his life to the grindstone, and die not worth a great at last. Progress of a Severe Case of Gunteraville, Ala., July 14, 1902. Dr. J. T. Shuprine, Sayannah, Ga. Dr. J. T. Shuptrine, Savannah, Ga. Dear Sir/It is am glad to say that three or four boxes of Tetterine I ordered or you, I have personally used, have given me more relief and seemed to be less crampy. Eczema than I have had for 25 years, for which time I have been tortured and tormented, with some dreadful skin disease on my thighs and in my groins, also on my left hand, and had as I thought destroyed the natural skin. I have one of them absolutely cured and looking as natural as I could ask for. The other one very much improved. I also had it on my feet and they are cured. In the twenty-five to thirty years I have been embarrassed and tortured with skin trouble in many doctors, and bought and used many different kinds of ointments, but none gave me relief and satisfaction as your Tetterine has given me. I would not have had my two finger nails just as they were for $100.00. Tetterline cures Eczema, Tetter, Ring Worm, Ground Itch, Itching Piles.

"Why do I always sit on the right hand side of the car going downtown in the morning and again on the right hand side—though that, going the other way, brings me on the opposite side of the car going home at night? Why, that," said Mr. Griptengs, "is very simple. It is because I read a newspaper and I don't want the sun to shine on the surface I am reading, as it would if I sat otherwise. "If I sat on the left hand or sunny side of the car going down in the morning then I should have the gradually rising sun at my back, and for the most part of the way screened off by the buildings along, but, at every cross street it would strike into the car and on the paper I am holding in front of me, temporarily blinding me. "So I take the right side of the car going down in the morning, where, holding the paper up in front of me, I can keep the sun off the surface I am reading and so keep on that surface a uniform light; and for precisely the same reason, the sun then striking in from the other side of the car, from the west, I take again the right hand, but now the opposite side of the car going home. "If I didn't read newspapers of course I should sit on the left hand side going down and on the left hand going up so as to have the sun at my back both ways, so that it wouldn't shine in my face."—New York Sun.

Have you ever stopped to consider how many birds there are abroad af- ter nightfall? Writing in Suburban Life B. S. Bowdish, the well-known naturalist, describes many suet Dirds. “The sereech-owl,” he says, “is prob- ably tke best-known member of the owl family—the one most apt to come about harns and houses and even into the villages, yet its hablts are not so well known but that it is a much maligned bird. Its food consists, In @ very large degree, of rats and mice, and it is the quest of such vermin which brings {t about human habita- tions, where the pestiferous rodents often swarm. True this little owl sometimes takes small birds, but they are frequently English sparrows, for ‘which he {s entitled to almost as much credit as for his rat gestruc- tion. The ordinary note of this species is a longdrawn, tremulous whistle, which can be imitated suf- ficiently well to call the owl to close quarters. It thas, however, a varied repertoira-of notes that, heard in the stillness of the night. are almost blvod-curdiing. It is an Interesting fact that this bird has two phases of plumage—red and gray—asaumed without regard to sex or age or the color of mente.” whe Easy way. ~~ “I don't know how to refuse‘him." “Then let him down easy.” “How can It” “Accept him. start a flirtation with ‘another fellow and when your finance ets mad break “off the engagement,” Louisville CourlerJournal.: Keenest ° Deligh elights of Appetite > and Anticipation are realized in'the first taste of de- licic_s Toasti ' and Cream. | The golden-brown bits are sub- antial enough to take up the ream; crisp enough to makq rushing them in the mouth an, quisite pleasure; and the fla- our—that belongs only to Post ‘oasties— “The Taste Lingers” 1 ‘This dainty, tempting food i4 hnade of pearly white Bethy cock ea tolled and toasted into “Toasties."!

The best, time té cut flowers is early in the morning while the dew is upon them, or else during the even- ing. As soon as cut the stems should be placed in water, even if in a tem- porary way, if not convenient to ar- range them at once In thelr proper positions. When the flowers have to be packed early in the morning to be sent a long distance they must be cut extra early, or what fs better, éut ‘the previous evening and placed in water all night in a cool place which can be kept close, In thls way they ab- sorb all the water it 1s possible for them to do, being consequently fresher when unpacked.—-Gardening ‘Mlustrated.. — kh. Zinktentisiee- . There are few things more madden- Ing, as mothers know, than to have buttonholes tear out on the clothing of small children. To prevent this cut bands for skirts and undercloth- ing long enough to turn back about an inch and work the buttonholes through the four thicknesses. For buttonholes that show it is a 094, plan to face with a double strip of material. It may look a little clumster than at first, but {s less un- sightly than darned, or torn button- holes. In the same way buttons should be sewed on with small extra squares of material underneath. In working, stay the buttonhole by overecasting closely, also by long bars of the thread on the octside. Be careful to work the corners closely, as it is here whére the strain comes, yet they are often merely drawn to- gether with a stitch or two. ‘When the buttonholes of sweater or knitted coat pull out 6f shape, sew a piece of tape or ribbon on the un- der side. Cut out under the button- holes and overcast loosely to, prevent raveling. If the buttonkole seems to have weakened as well as stretched, it can be reworked through the sweater and the ribbon both.— New Haven Register. : ‘Use of Silver.

"There is shore a pile onclaimed valuables ov the Lady-gender in this village." "You don't need to worry," said Bildad Smiley. "You've claimed your share. Is it four or five claims you've put in at the matrimonial department?" "You mind your own blamed business, young feller, an' I'll mind mine," returned the offended Philander. "I've been blessed with three good wives, if you want to know, an' I made a livin' for them while they was in this vale ov tears." "it's right queer that so many ov our gals has stayed single," interrupted Reason Jupe, with the laudable desire to lead the talk away from dangerous channels. "I don't know," he continued, "ez I ever see a place where they was sich a percentage ov handsome women ez we hev. An' about every third one grows up a ol' maid." "They ain't nothing queer about it at all," said Jabe Henry. "How in nation are our gals goin' to marry if they ain't no men to choose from? Why, great snakes! There's three gals for every baby born in this country. Everybody knows that women outlive men — exceptin' when they marry in the Beasley family. So even if a gal was ez as pretty ez all git out she wouldn't hev much show to git married onless they was a pestilence broke out the took only female women an' she was the only one that had been vaccinated." / "Thet rule hasn't worked in some cases in this country," said Martin Underdunk. "I knew three gals over in Beulah township that hed all kinds of fellers in love with them afore they fin'ly got married. They was of Hauser's daughters." "I've heard tell of the fambly," said Jabe. "They was three of four boys, too." "They was," replied Martin. "An' it was owning to them boys thet h'gals didn't git married quicker'n they did." / "Yes, consarn their pictures!" exploded Philander Beasley. "They ort to be a law in this country makin' it a capital offense to raise sich boys as them!" "Hi, Philander!" cried Bildad Smiley. "So you hed one ov th' Hausenger gals in thet killin' eye ov yourn once, had you?" "Dad, fetch you!" stormed Philander. "Ain't you quit your foolishness yilt?" "I kain't help, Philander, honest I kain't. If I kep' quiet I blow out a fusion plug or somethin' like a automobile does. Ever sense thet time after your second wife was took an' you made th' speech in town meetin' I hew had a awful ticklish place on my funny bone." "I didn't know I said anythin' funny on thet occasion," said Philander etifty. "Thet's why it was funny," grinned Bildad. "Ei you hed tried to be humor you'd hev jes' made me sad. All you said was, in referrin' to your recent bereavement: 'Th' memory is ever weth of thet dear departed one whose place never will be filled—perhaps. Thet's all you said that I remember." "Tell us about th' Hausenger gals, Martin," said Reason Jupe, the lover of peace. "Sure I will. if them two fellers'll qul' jawin'. You see, it wasn't ez if them Hausenger boys was little kids them didn't know no better an' would git into mischief ez natural ez sneez- er. One could make excuses fer sich. The boys was older than th' gals—big, lumberin' fellers, but ez full of tickle ez a dog is full of fleas. They didn't do things jes' a purpose to scare away their sisters' fellers, but they must have their fun what- ever stood in th' way. "Ef a feller drive up in a buggy an' went in to ast one of th' gals would she accept his company to a drive in th' pafe moonlight, them boys 'ud change th' buggy wheels, put th' hind ones on in front an' vicy-vercy. When th' feller come out he'd hey to drive off with his knees up to his eihn, an' him tryin' to peep over th' dashboard to see th' boss. 'They'd tie a strong to th' parlor door knob when a feller was stayin' a little late, then tie th' other end to a panful of o' iron on th' top landin' of th' stairs. When the caller caller to the caller out he'd haul the load of' junk downstairs an' ol' Hausenger 'ud come out madder a wet hgn. They'd pour water out o' th' upper winder on th' head ou a feller that was talkin' to a gal on th' outside steps. "Th' way they hurt Philander's feelin' was by catchin' him an' lockin' him up in th' smokehouse. He didn't get out there till th' ol' man come round in th' morning fec bacon an' blame near busted Philander's head with his lantern, thinkin' he was a thief—" "Thet's a lie," interrupted Philander. "He didn't do such thing as hit me weth a lantern. He used a ax handle, an' I have th' lump on my head ylt." "Well, anyhow," said Martin, "th' boys kep' up that line ov hum till they might nigh spilled their sisters' chances. "Then one fall Bud Powis come over from Bog Holler to look around an' he got his eye on Medory, th' youngest Hausenger gal. She looked good to him from th' fust, an' they made a mighty lookin' couple. Bud was big ez a hoss an' Medory was little an' powerful cute lookin'. He drive her home from singin' school a few times an' didn't say nothin' when them fool brothers ov hers played their monkey shines on him. Bud was a scraper, all right, but he wanted to git in good with th' family. "One night Medory got a spell like all gals does when they git shore that a feller is gone on 'em. She treated Bud shameful 'all evenin'. He went in th' parlor with her to try to make up, but she only treated him worse'n ever. "He wasn't felin' right cheerful when he came out,^a when he found his wheels tied together with a ox chain he lost his temper in a minute. Yes, sir, he' got on th' warpath in dead earnest. He knew them four boys was hld in th' barn snickering at him. So in there he goes, lit th' barn fantern an' after lookin' 'round a spell pulled them boys out from behind th' oat bin. "They tried to rush him in a bunch, but he got hold of th' belly band of a plow harness an' finished up th' pur-iest job ov whalin' ever done in this State. "He was just throwin' the last joker out through th' barn winder when Medency come runnin' out. Bud thought he was goin' to git a big roast afore she sent him home for good, but she comes smill' inter th' barn, pleasent ez a basket of chips. "Bud," sez she, 'when you git over your awful temper you kin come into th' house an' say you're sorry you was sich a bad boy." "Then she held up her skirts, dainty-like, to step over one o' them badly frazzled brothers, o' hers on her way out. "Medory and her sisters didn't hew no more trouble after that night. They all got married after spring." "I wistht the feller'd broke the four fool necks o' them Hausengers," said Philander Beasley, spitefully. "It wouldn't hev done you, no good," said Bildad Smiley. "You was took with another fit ov matrimony afore that happened." — Chicago News. Rushing the Canal. Every two minutes a ton of coal is burned up at Panama, every minute twelve carloads of rock and gravel are torn from the earth, every hour 1666 pounds of dynamite are exploded in mountain and jungle, every minute $124 is spent for labor! One hundred and thirty-two locomotives are shrieking and creaking in the nine-mile ribbon of the Culebra cut—10,000 shirttless men are sweating and swearing—1250 flat cars are running and grumbling! One hundred and six miles of track split the gorge—a dozen sets of rails, in a width of 200 and 300 feet, are hung in tiers one above the other. Sixty-seven steam shovels are plunging twenty-two scoops into the earth two and three times every minute. Over 2,000,000 cubic yards of earth are being wrested from the rainbow strata of soil every thirty days. And on the two sides of the inferno squat the twin peaks of Gold and Snow hills like a couple of apples which a schoolboy has nearly bitten through. Roughly, a hole measuring 97,515,100 cubic yards must yet be bored in the Panama clay to make the canal a reality. When the French were routed 81,500,000 cubic yards had been excavated. The Americans have added 42,000,000 cubic yards to this total. Picture a chasm measuring 125 feet in every direction, in which could be buried twenty-five ordinary three-story houses forty feet in height, in width and length. The equivalent of such a chasm is bored every day along the course of the Panama Canal — the excavation amounting to nearly 2,000,000 cubic feet daily.—From an Article in Putnam's and The Reader. Truth in Death. Those collectors of queer epitaphs still are raining them in on poor Tip. As usual the husband is the malefactor, and here's a sample, taken from an English churchyard: Here lies my wife, Who's gone on high; If I said I was sorry I too would lie. —New York Press. IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS In the following table is given. a list of the twenty sports fostered by the Eastern universities, with the college which won the championship in each. The list follows. Sport. Champlon. Football Harvard-Pennsylvania Baseball Pennsylvania Rowing Cornell Track athletics Harvard Basketball Columbia Cricket Pennsylvania Chess Pennsylvania-Princeton Cross country running Cornell Association football Columbia Fencing West Point Golf Yale Gymnastics Columbia Hockey Harvard Lacrosse Cornell Swimming Pennsylvania Shooting Yale Rifle shooting Geo. Washington Tennis Pennsylvania-Harvard Water polo Yale The refusal of Sam Langford to fight Stanley Ketchel at Ely, New, for one-fifth of the $25,000 purse, is regarded by fight followers as an indication that Langford does not consider Ketchel so easy a proposition. Sporting men agree that if Ketchel and Johnson were as easy to whip as Langford has publicly declared them to be, he could lafford to fight them without any financial interest in the purses to be offered. Al Kaufman will not fight Jack Johnson before the Mission Club in San Francisco in August. Announcement was made to this effect by Rilly Delaney, his manager, who said: "Kaufman will not fight Johnson in August or September. He will take his time and will not be rushed into a fight. When Kaufman enters the ring he will be in the best possible shape." To engage in a game of baseball or football while at any college or school either chartered or receiving financial aid from the state, will become a criminal act, if the bill introduced into the Georgia legislature by Representative Adams of Hall county is passed. The measure is entitled "An act to prohibit and prevent football and baseball games between institutions which receive state aid or hold state charters and to provide penalties for all violations." Not only are the students who engage in the games to be arrested and punished as misdemeanants, but the members of any faculty who permit or encourage the playing of the games are equally guilty and must go to jail, too. After a conviction any school whose students are found guilty loses its state aid if it be a stater institution and its charter if it be a private school or college. Adams says he will give the committee good reasons for a favorable report when the time comes. Umpire Weeks, who worked a short time in the South Atlantic League, declares Castro to be the boss of the whole business. "Castro does just as he pleases," says Weeks, "and takes things as easy as if he were ruler of the universe." The "more daylight" movement, now being so strongly pushed by the National Daylight Association of Cincinnati, and by its friends throughout the entire country, is one that meets with the hearty approval of the sporting world. Walter S. Mayer, chief of the postoffice inspectors of New York, is investigating the truth of reports from Cincinnati purporting to explain how individuals in that city have of late been receiving "winning tips" on the races by means of letters mailed subsequent to the races, ante-dated by some clerk in a New York postoffice. T. R. Pell of New York, indoor tennis champion of the United States, won the southern championship title in singles by defeating Dr. Nat Thornton of Atlanta three straight sets, 61, 1, 61, 60. Pell clearly outplayed his opponent in nearly all departments of the game. In view of the increased price of manufacture, the price of crude rubber having doubled within the last three months, the American tiremakers have issued a circular to automobile manufacturers and dealers, announcing an advance of from 15 to 25 per cent in all tires. A shadow of his old self, Terry McGovern, once featherweight champion pugilist of the world, was taken to a sanitaryjum at Amityville, L. I. "I want to 'go home so; I want to go home," he pleaded when friends tried to get him into an automobile that was to take him away. After much persuasion, he agreed to go if his mother would ride in the car with him. McGovern had been in the observation ward of the Kings County Hospital since his arrest on a charge of intoxication. The Independence Day attendance this season in the major leagues was reduced in the total through the prevention of two National League games in Chicago and one American League game in St. Louis; but the average was up to expectations and previous records. The six National League contests drew 70,922 persons, with Pittsburg undoubtedly breaking the attendance record for one day with 41,852 paid admissions. The seven American League contests drew 76,784 persons. This gives a grand total of 147,706 paid admissions for the day. Ample evidence that baseball interest and enthusiasm has not abated a lot, despite the fact that the races are less close this season than they were last year at this period. Barney Oldfield, in a patriotic mood, has named the automobile with which he hopes to lower all track records during 1909 "Old Glory," and to further define his standing as America's champion has an American flag formed and painted on the hood of his big racer. Ad Wolgast of Milwaukee, despite the fact that he weighs five pounds less than Battling Nelson of Chicago, gave the durabe Dane a thorough whipping in a ten round bout before the Pacific Athletic Club. If was a terrific fight from the start. Nelson says he, was not in condition. James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson failed to meet in Chicago according to the schedule outlined by their representative. Jeffries was at the appointed race, but Johnson did not leave his training camp in Indiana, and said he would not meet Jeffries. Jeffries issued a statement later, in which he said: "In view of the many conflicting reports regarding my intentions, I will make my plans public as follows: "At the conclusion of my theatrical contract, which will be, July 25. I will sail for Europe for a two or three weeks' visit, and then Carlsbad. Before sailing I will post my forfeit to meet Johnson before the club offering the best inducements, and best situated to hold the contest. "I sincerely hope that my action will quiet the doubts of those who have questioned the sincerity of my intentions." Carter, of Atlanta, won the Georgia state championship in tennis singles from Eden Taylor, of Macon, Score, 6-4 6-2 7-5. Young Corbett, the one time conqueror of Terry/ McGovern, proved an easy victim for young Johnny Fraye, of San Francisco, who knocked him out in the eighth round of a bout scheduled to go twenty-five rounds. Corbett, probably, was in no condition to put up a hard battle, and at no time did he appear to have a chance. The Corbett of today is hardly a reminder of the once great lightweight who but a few years ago electrified the sporting world with his wonderful battles. His famous "haymaker" was ill-timed, and there was no power behind it. Edward Payson Weston, the world's veteran pedestrian, has completed his walk across the great American continent. He accomplished the walk from New York to San Francisco in 105 walking days after one of the most strenuous and trying fests in his career. Though now in his 70th year, he has now in 1995 negotiated 2,900 measured miles most of the way on the railway, where he asserts a quarter of a mile is lost every mile walked. Hale and hearty Cranston, the Memphis second baseman, is still the real leader of the Southern League in base hitting. O'Connor, of Little Rock, and Daubert, of Memphis, are ahead of him in the percentage column; but they have not been in enough games to warrant them holding the lead. But even Cranston has a contender for the honors. Taking in points of number of games played, Paul Sentell, the Mobile captain and shortstop, is the real leader of the league, with a percentage of .292, he having played in 15 more games than Cranston. The Cub has been playing the this-season, and his head work and fighting spirit are responsible for Mobile's high standing in the race for the pennant. The leading run getter in the Southern League to date is Dick Bayless, the fast little outfielder of the Atlanta team. He has crossed the pan 47 times Persons, of Montgomery, comes second, with 41, and Sentell, of Mobile, third, with 29. It looks as if Noah Henline, the fast left fielder of the Birmingham Barons, will be the first man to reach the 100-hit mark this season in the Southern league. At present, Henline is leading the players in the number of hits made, with 89. Sentell is second with 81. Baerwald, of Memphis, is third, with 76. “Bugs” Raymond walked down Broadway the other day with a spool of white thread in his pocket. What he carried it for, nobody knows. A loose thread-hung out of his pocket, and a colored man who knew the eccentric pitcher rushed up to him and said, “Scuse me, Mistah Bugs, but there is a raveling on you” coat. I’ll just pick it off.” “He followed me a block,” said Bugs, telling the story, “and kept pulling out that thread. I stopped, and when he caught up to me again he said: Mistah Bugs, I do not think I quite got it all yet.” An automobile making the circuit of the Cobe cup race course at Crowd Point, Ind., crashed into a machine containing Jack Johnson, the heavyweight pugilist, and a party of friends. Johnson was not injured, but one of the women of the party was perhaps fatally hurt. Several others were slightly injured. The fact that Charleston failed to make good in the South Atlantic League this year was a disappointment, but taking Knoxville in has shortened some of the jumps and cut down the railroad expenses. A story sent out from Macon says Ty Cobb, the Georgian who has become famous in the realm of baseball, will engage in business in Macon at the end of the present season. He will be state manager for a Detroit automobile manufactory. He will have branch offices in Atlanta, Savannah and two other Georgia cities. He expects to establish a permanent business and his retirement from the company will probably follow. His contract has already been signed with the company, and he is negotiating here for a place of business. Pitcher William Lelivelt has been sold to the Detroit American League Club by the Southern League Club for $2,800 in cash and the exchange of Pitcher Suggs and Allen and Catcher Casey. Tired of waiting, for the minor league board to pass on the case of Pitcher George Palge, claimed by New Orleans and Charleston. Manager Frank has bought Palge from Knoxville for $200. LOLU Castro and his Augusta insurgents are certainly making things go some in the South Atlantic League under the new order of things. Mobile has repurchased Pitcher Schultz from the Charlotte team of the Carolina League, and sold Pitcher Hixon to Columbus, Ga., of the South Atlantic League. The baseball team of Gainesville, Ga., has this season, made a phenomenal record. Out of twenty-five games played they have won twenty-two. The Goldsboro Club of the Eastern League sold Pitcher Harry Olsen, the Cleveland Americans for $1,000. The Wilson club of the same league was paid $200 for one week's option on Pitcher Anderson and Shortstop Yerks by the Boston Americans.
