State Ledger

THE STATE LEDGER By F. L. JELTZ TOPEKA, KANSAS TOPEKA, KANSAS 'The woman who is going out in an angel gown had better begin to get into it now. It is only natural that toley sleepers should be provided for our restless population. Theresa Vaughn, before the clouds gathered about her, scattered much sunshine in the world. The concert of the powers will probably not be moved to do anything until "Hiawatha" is played. Servia has a new cabinet, but old Stojan Proties is still on deck. They can't run the thing without Stoj. If some explorer were really to discover the pole, he would put an end to a very thriving literary industry. Charley Ross has just been found in Texas, but he is likely to turn up in Maine or Montana by to-morrow. Riches still manifest a tendency to take unto themselves wins, particularly the kind of riches that exist on paper. They have finally produced a play in New York that is naughty enough to shock the natives. Look out for broken records. A woman's logic is cut so on the bias that when she is all tired out from shopping she goes to a dance to rest herself. Some one has said that the game of football bears the same relation to physical culture that a bull fight does to agriculture. Talking of a rich men's panic, there was one in Kansas City when a mill wagon ran away and collided with a coal dealer's rig. The dressmakers' convention at Chicago pleased the women, but only added a distressing financial outlook to the man of the house. Those young women of the Brooklyn Heights school who paraded in the streets with reversed clothes must have reversed ideas of ladylike conduct. This settles the Filipinos: News has just been received that the insurgents are organizing football and baseball leagues. May as well call back the army. Sir Archibald Hunter says he is sorry that he sneezed at the navy, but cannot alter his opinion. And Admiral Lambton accepts this as an apology! August Belmont is to sell all his race horses. Farewell to the scarlet, maroon and black which have been worn to victory so many times in the years gone by! We spend in this country $40 a year for liquor and tobacco and 40 cents for churches per capita. Need we wonder why there are more saloons than places of worship? The Germans in the fatherland are fretted by the girl who eternally plays the scales in the next house. They would be glad to swap the piano pest for the gypsy moth. A brass band down in Jackson, Miss., frightened a mule to death. From the meager reports we are at a loss to determine whether this reflects on the mule or the band. Could there be a more pathetic sight than that of Russell Sage, bowed with the weight of years and trying to save money enough to pay $113 and save his humble farm from the maw of the tax collector? There are in London more Scotchmen than in Aberdeen, more Irish than in Dublin, more Jews than in Palestine, more Roman Catholics than in Rome, and more Americans than in Oskaloosa, Iowa. Following the example of the children of Israel, who, by the rivers of Babylon, their harps on the willows and refused to sing, the choir boys of a church in Waterville, Me., have gone on strike. The crown prince of Germany is reported to have wrecked a pianola while having a high time in Munich the other day, but he doesn't seem to have become infatuated with any American heiless lately. If Sir Thomas Lipton wants to make himself solid with the colored people of Georgia, where he has just bought large plantations for the raising of fruits, he has but to put a brand of Lipton watermelons on the market. The sighing swain of San Francisco who encountered some parental objection in the shape of a large red brick-bat is doubtless convinced that the rumor that the course of true love never runs smooth was not exaggerated. As a cure for insomnia a physician advises a person to nedel the feet in time with the respiration, the pedaling being accomplished from the ankles, entirely. But, for heaven's sake, how is the other fellow going to get any sleep? Miss Billian Russell says her worst trouble in assuming men's parts on the stage is in making her neckties look neat and dressy. But all other men have the same trouble, Lillian. After several days' reflection the puzzled British subject is unable to decide whether he should regard the Balfour outfit as a cabinet or a golf club. If the man who laughed himself to death at a New York show had been attending a comic opera the catastrophe never would have occurred. BACK TO PRISON THOMAS A. KATING ARRIVES IN LEAVENWORTH. WAS LEADER OF THE MUTINEERS To Be Tried in Topeka Next Month and Is Likely to Hang—Has Been a Free Man for Nearly Two Years, but Officers Have Always Been on His Trail. LEAVENWORTH, KAN.—(Special). Thomas A. Kating, affas Lon Briscoe one of the leaders of the mutiny at the site of the new United States penitentiary on the afternoon of November 7, 1901, was returned to Fort Leavenworth Tuesday night, having been captured near Longmont, Col., last Saturday. Kating and Arthur Hewitt were the real "bad" men of the convict mutiny and they have been wanted badly by the federal prison officials. Hewitt is serving a term in the state prison of Texas for horse stealing, committed since the mutiny, and the governor of that state has agreed to pardon him when he is requested by the United tates attorney general to do so. It is thought that both Hewitt and Kating will be tried at Topeka next month, and it is generally believed that they will hang. Hewitt and Kating are the convicts who secured weapons from the outside and incited the twenty-four other convicts to mutiny at the site of the new prison on November 7, 1901. They were the leaders from the beginning to the end of the outbreak. Hewitt escaped into Texas, where he was captured for horsesealing. He was convicted and sentenced to serve five years in prison. He traveled under an assumed name and had served nearly a year of his sentence before he was identified as Hewitt. Warden McClaughry at once set to work to secure a pardon for the convict in order to bring him here for trial for his life, and he has about succeeded in his efforts. Kating breathed the air of freedom longer than Hewitt, his partner in crime. He went direct to the Indian Territory after the mutiny and remained in hiding there until after the trial of the mutineers in this city a few days ago. When, he learned that five mutineers had been convicted of murder in the first degree he became alarmed and sought a new hiding place. He secured work on a ranch near Longmont, Colo., and was plowing when detectives captured him. He had a revolver, but had no opportunity to use it. He said afterwards that he would have given the officers a good fight if he had had half a chance. He admitted that he would probably be hanged if brought back to Fort Leavenworth, but seemed resigned to his fate. When Kating escaped from the federal prison he was serving a sentence of five years for horsestealing. He is suffering from a bullet wound in the leg inflicted by officers near Chorka, I. T., recently, where he was wanted for stealing cattle. The Bone Blessed Americans ROME.—(Special.) The pope received Tuesday Cardinal Moran in farewell audience. The pontifalk talked about Australia and also about the English speaking countries generally. He said that complete liberty in the exercise of religion represented the best growth and spread of Catholicism. After the audience Cardinal Moran presented seevral Americans, among whom were Mr. and Miss Butler and Mr. and Mrs. Abell of Baltimore, upon whom the pope bestowed the apostolic blessing, which was extended to their families. Burglarst Use Chloroform. LEAD, S. D.—(Special.) J. A. Marcoux, head carpenter for the Hidden Fortune Mining Company, was murdered and his wife narrowly escaped suffocation Monday night by the use of chloroform, robbery being the purpose of the crime. Mrs. Marcoux was aroused nearly suffocated and made her way to the kitchen. When she was revived and returned she found her husband dead. An empty chloroform vial and a saturated handkerchief were found near the pillow of the dead man. A large sum of money received the day before by Mr. Marcoux had been placed in the bank. For Robbing Freight Trains LA JUNTA, COL—(Spectal.) Jackson and Ed Solomon, farmers, living four miles south of La Junta, were arrested Tuesday by detectives charged with robbing freight trains of the Santa Fe road by breaking into the cars and throwing off goods from running trains. About $2,000 worth of goods of all descriptions were found at their farm house. Three Killed in Colorado. SALIDA, COLO.—(Special). By the air failing to work on the second section of a freight train on the Denver & Rid Grande railroad on a steep grade, the train ran into the rear of the first section. Four men were buried beneath the wreckage. Three of them were killed and Henry Fitzsimmons injured. The dead are Samuel Brown, engineer; Henry Simons, brakeman; John Mulcahey, brakeman. Denver's Boy Astronomer. DENVER, COL. (Special.) Hubert S. Howe, the 15-year-old son of Professor Herbert A. Howe, instructor in astronomy at Denver university, has discovered at the upper edge of the sun's disc a new group of sun spots as great in magnitude and importance as the group which was discovered by the scientists of the Washington observatory two weeks ago. The boy made his observations with a six-inch telescope in the observatory at University park in this city. ATTEMPTS ON DIAZ'S LIFE. Shots at Street Car Bearing the President of Mexico. GUANJATO, MEXICO — (Special.) Great excitement was caused here Tuesday by what looked like an attempt on the life of President Diaz, who was a guest of the state government during the festivities here. The president, his staff and guests were passing by the Oauntard garden in a street car, when a man of the lower class by the name of Elias Toscano approached the car, shouting, and fired five shots from a revolver at the car, fortunately doing no harm. Pakulo Escandon, of the president's staff, rushed from the car and caught the man, wrenching the revolver from his grasp. The police took Toscano to prison. Toscano is a man with a bad criminal record, and was but recently released from prison at Granditas, where he had served a term for homicide. The matter will be investigated. One theory is that Toscano was drunk and another that he deliberately planned to shoot the chief magistrate. The president remained perfectly cool, and was acclaimed by the crowd of citizens showing their joy at his escape. Toscano's evil record makes the theory of a deliberate attempt at assassination appear probable. The president has received the felicitation of the citizens and diplomatic corps here. An attempt was made on the life of President Diaz on the 16th of December, 1897. He attended on that day the public celebrations in the City of Mexico on the anniversary of Mexican independence. During the festivities a man rushed toward him, and, evading all efforts made to check his progress, reached the president's side and attempted to kill him. Great excitement prevailed, but it was soon seen that the efforts of the murderer had been fultie. President Diaz was not hurt. The assassin was at once arrested and thrown into prison. This attempted murder created much excitement, and subsequently the assassin was dragged from prison by a mob and lynched. Guanajuato is about 160 miles northwest of Mexico City. It is singularly situated in deep, narrow mountain defiles over 6,000 feet above sea level. It is formed of a number of villages located around the mines, and has a population numbering 63,000. Another Horse Drugged. LOS ANGELES, CAL—(Special.) Dwight Way, a 4-year-old gelding owned by P. Daggs, was sent on the track for the second race Tuesday under the influence of drugs and acting like a wild horse. As the horse came out of the paddock two men were unable to hold him, and Jockey Hildebrand leaped to the ground and declared that he would not ride him. The horse was dripping with perspiration and the judges promptly ordered the entire field back into the stable, scratched Dwight Way, and allowed twenty minutes for a new book. Chas. Goodman, trainer of Dwight Way, was ruled off the turf for life. No Western Wage Reduction NEW YORK.—(Special.) Emphatic denial is made here by representatives of several important Western railroads to the rumor that a concerted effort is to be made by the Western roads to reduce wages. The opinion is generally expressed that no such plan was under consideration and, in some quarters, that such a move would not be feasible. Reductions in expenses are making by the Western roads in common with those in other parts of the county, but this is accomplished in the main by reduction in shop expenses and in construction and improvement work. NEW ORLEANS. — (Special.) Resolved to appeal to the federal government for adequate aid to levee both banks of the Mississippi river and to build such levees at a minimum grade, thereby making possible the reclamation and protection of the alluvial lands and improving navigation, the largest and most influential levee convention yet held in the Mississippi valley convened here Tuesday BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

Emperor William has decided to erect a bronze monument to the late Herr Krupp, the gunmaker, before the Imperial Yacht Club at Kiel. The monument will be over life size. The emperor himself will make the drawings. Jack Buley, a foreman at the tunnel on the White River railroad, near Aurora, Mo., was seriously stabbed by a laborer by the name of Jack Smith in a fight. It is reported Buley will die. 2 All previous cotton receipts at Galveston for a single day were eclipsed Tuesday. As officially reported to the Cotton exchange the receipts of cotton amounted to 49,984 bales, the greatest record by 10,700 bales. Rev. H. T. Cocke, of the Mexico, Mo. Episcopal church, has resigned to go to Baltimore, Md. He will leave Mexico about November 15. The postoffice at Goldburg, Kiowa county, O. T., has been discontinued; mail to Lone Wolf. Ah Wong, a Chinaman, who has been conducting a restaurant in Greeley, Col., for some time, was arrested Tuesday, charged with being unlawfully in the United States. Ah Wong is supposed to have come from Canada. 2 The Iola Mining and Milling Company of Iola applied for a charter at Topeka yesterday. It has a capital of $10,000, divided into 10,000 chares of $1 each. Congressman Charles F. Scott is one of the big stockholders. LORIN FARR Lorin Farr, head of the largest family in the world, bitterly opposes the theories advanced by Dr. A. C. Cotton, dean of Rush Medical College, Chicago, that love is a disease due to a microbe. Mr. Farr has had six wives, 39 children, 231 grandchildren and 56 great-grandchildren. He has seen his 250 or more descendants married and bearing children, and then, too, his experience as the husband of six wives, and living with all at the same time, makes him an authority on the question of love. There is no fine spun mysticism or sentimental poetry in the mind of this father of thirty-nine children. His definition of love was unmistakably plain. "Love!" he said, without hesitation. MISER'S CHART IS MISSING. Paper Showing Location of Buried Month, Sunday, Disappears. The recent settlement and distribution of the estate left by Joseph Conatser, a miser, has again set the people of Whitman (Wash.) county guessing as to what became of a chart showing the location of various places where Conatser had buried his money. Just before death Conatser gave Thos. Keyes, his closest friend, a plat which contained a number of marks, dots and figures, and pointing from the window of his cabin, showed the spot where much money was buried. He asked Keyes to dig it up, and in an old tin, can the latter found $260 in gold coin. Conatser gave Keyes to understand that each spot on the chart marked a place where the coin was concealed. When it was found necessary to move the old man to a hospital this chart and his other papers were sewed inside of Conatser's vest. After his death all the papers were turned over to the court, with the exception of the chart. The mystery which surrounds the lost chart may never be explained, and the accumulations of Joseph Conatser, the Sunset miser, may remain buried forever. Victory Due to Lost Key an amusing incident occurred at Cuxhaven during some landmaneuvers which were being carried out by the German fleet. An adversary's fleet was supposed to be attempting to force the entrance to the Elbe, which was defended by troops on shore. The first attack of the "enemy" had been repulsed during a severe storm. The troops on shore retired to their bivouac, and to protect the rifles from the rain, which was coming down in torrents, they locked them up in a small wooden house. Suddenly the alarm sounded, but on rushing to get their weapons the key of the house was not to be found. When after considerable delay, the rifles were distributed, it was found that the "enemy" had forced the entrance and thus gained the victory."—London Mail. Train Girls for Domestic Service. Sorely tried housekeepers in New York and vicinity hope great things from a newly started movement for a servants' guild whose main object will be to thoroughly train acceptable girls for the duties of domestic service. Mrs. Russell Sage has been especially prominent in the movement. In her view the chief trouble in keeping good servants lies usually with the mistresses, who are inclined to be inconsiderate slave-drivers. The title of the new organization is to be the Women's Domestic guild. Writing Biography of Putnar Writing Biography on Putnam James Putnam Student of Louisville, Louisville, GEN, Isaac Putnam of revolutionary fame, has many relics of his distinguished ancestry and is busily engaged in writing out the lineage of the family. When Railways Were Bare. In 1850 there was not one mile of railway in Wisconsin, Tennessee or Florida or anywhere west of the Mississippi river. Even in 1870 half the area of the country was still without railways. "love is the natural affection between man and woman that has its foundation in the desire to perpetuate the race. That's love, but oh, how many there are to-day who marry with different thoughts in their minds." For a few minutes the old man seemed lost in reveries of years long gone. "Did I tell you that I agree with Roosevelt's views on the marriage question?" he asked. "His thoughts meet mine exactly. "Love often comes at first sight," he continued. "With my first wife it did. It is not always, though, that this feeling comes at first sight. But love comes as soon as the man and woman are well acquainted. If they love each other they do not have to keep company for years to find it out." PREACHER TELLS FUNNY STORY. Dr. Parkhurst Narrates Anecdote of a Converted Savage Dr. Parkhurst delivered himself of a story in the course of his sermon in the Madison Square Presbyterian church at New York on a recent Sunday. This is the story: "An African chief became converted and moved to London, where he wore fashionable clothes and behaved in every way as an irreproachable man. One day he was giving a lecture in a church on the advantages of a peaceful, civilized life. His collar did not fit well, and in attempting to adjust it he tore open the buttonhole. "The ripping shirt band brought back all his old savagery, and he shouted out that civilization was all a sham, and he wished he was back in his old life. Whereupon he pulled off his collar, his coat and trousers and finally stood in the garb of the unadorned savage. Then he set fire to the church and took to the woods. "If his buttonhole had been a little stronger," added Dr. Parkhurst. "he would probably have remained an irreproachable man the rest of his life. That's the way with much of our civilization and virtue. A very small thing will reveal the real conditions." Denounced by Dying Woman A dramatic scene was enacted in a dingy room of a New York East Side tenement, where an aged woman in her dying moments identified Patrick Shea as the murderer of William McMahon. The crime was committed last May, and was a typical Cherry Hill murder. Shea escaped and after a long chase was run down in Philadelphia. Mrs. Catherine Brown, who had known Shea from childhood, was the only witness, and she could not go to court, so the court went to her. Propped up by pillows, she told the magistrate that she saw Shea, who stood manacles beside the bed, walk up behind McMahon and deliberately shoot him down. Cross-examination failed to change her statements, and she finished by roundly denouncing Shea. “Your mother,” she exclaimed, shaking her head at him, “was a decent woman. Be off; I never want to see you again.” Satisfied All Around. A Philadelphia wrote recently to the department of public safety complaining about the barking of dogs in the vicinity of his home. The complaint was referred to the police lieutenant of the district, and he made a report. In this report the lieutenant wrote that the dogs are not noticed so much now, as the change in weather has caused people to close their windows and thus escape much of the barking. He concluded his report in this manner: "The person who complained was sick when he wrote to the department. Since then he has died, and his widow has no complaint to make." Monarch Has No Ear for Music. Monarch Has No Ear for Music. Considerable surprise was manifested in Paris over the fact that the king of Italy did not applaud when President Loubet took him to the opera there. Parisians did not seem to know that their distinguished guest does not care a rap for music or poetry. King Victor Emmanuel takes his pleasure on horseback or in an automobile. He is also fond of military life, being a rigid disciplinarian FAILTOCAPTURE FORT RILEY STILL BELONGS TO THE UNITED STATES. THE TRICK 'FOOLS EVEN THE BIRDS Trenches Were Covered With Bushes and Leaves—Soldiers Hidden Below Had Foliage Arranged On Their Hats and Shoulders so Cleverly the Birds Perched Without Fear. FORT RILEY, KAS. — (Special.) Fort Riley still belongs to the government. The enemy made a desperate effort to capture it Monday morning and failed. They did not exactly fall either, for the fight still was not when the umpires stopped it, but they had not got it at the time the halt was called, and consequently its possession remains where it was before the fight. The enemy which sought to capture the post was General C. C. Carr, with nine regiments of infantry, two full regiments and one additional squadron of cavalry and four batteries. The force that withstood him, under tac command of Colonel Steever, of the Fourth cavalry, was the First battalion of engineers, under Major Leach; the Sixth infantry, commanded for the day by Lieutenant Colonel Loughborough; a battalion of the Twelfth infantry, two batteries of artillery and one squadron of cavalry. The most remarkable feature of the day's work was the ability shown by the officers and men of the defending force in the construction and concealment of their trenches. At a distance of 200 paces they were invisible, even to those who knew their exact location. The outside of the trenches was covered with grass and bushes, so arranged as to resemble the landscape. In addition the men twined grass around their hate or tied branches upon their shoulders, which served to hide colors of their hats and blue shirts. In several instances so complete was the concealment that birds flying in from the front perched in the transplanted bushes above the lines of infantry before discovering the men lying beneath them. Colonel Steever placed five companies of the Sixth infantry on the right under direct command of Captain W. K. Jones, with Lieutenant Colonel Loughborough in charge of the entire line. The battalion of the Twelfth infantry held the center, the engineers and a portion of the cavalry being on the left. There was a long wait for the approach of the enemy after the defending line was in position, General Carr taking his time to scout the country thoroughly before throwing his men up against intrenchments, which he found it impossible to locate until his men were close upon them. This wait was relieved by several little skimishes between the lines between the brown and blue cavalry, in which the former had the better of it. A skimish line of blue infantry, that pushed out too far in its ambition to develop the advance of the browns, was gathered in as prisoners and up to the time of the actual charge upon the intrenchments, the advantage was with the browns. A force of cavalry sent around the blue left crossed the Republican river and might have been a strong factor in the fight, but "cease firing" was sounded by Colonel Wagner before his detachment was able to get into contact with the defending blue army. It was on the height, however, where Lieutenant Colonel Loughborough and Captain Jones held the line, that the fighting was done, and here it was that General Carr's attack, cleverly managed as it was, met with a complete repulse. Lleutenant Colonel Loughborough had given orders that no fire should be directed upon the browns until they were close up, but the impudence of a brown squadron prancing along a ridge within five hundred yards, was too much for some of his men, who ifred a few rifle shots. A BODY BACK FROM MEXICO Permission Received to Remove the Casket of Captain W. Reisinger. SAN DIEGO, CAL—(Special). The United State straining ship Mohican, just arrived here, has orders from Washington, accompanied by a permit from the City of Mexico, to take up the body of Captain W. Reisinger and bring it here, whence it will be sent to Washington. Captain Reisinger, while captain of the Philadelphia, died on board when the cruiser was at Magdalena bay on her way from Panama to that port. Under the Mexican law the body was buried there, and could not be removed for two years. This period has elapsed since the death and burial when the Mohican is at Magdalena bay on her way north. Schwab's Cousin Starving. VIENNA. — (Special.) William Schwab, who has been playing recently in a Vienna theatre under the name of Salls, and who has been missing for some days, has just been found in a starving condition.

Schwab, former president of the United States Steel corporation, and he has announced his intention of going to America to seek assistance from his relatives. Justice Brewer Dissented WASHINGTON.—(Spectel.) Justice Brown, of the United States supreme court, has delivered the opinion of the court in the case of Clara Perry vs. Cornelius L. Haines, involving the question as to whether the admiralty jurisdiction of the federal courts extends to canal and canal boats. The court held that it did. Justice Brewer delivered a dissenting opinion, in which he said the position taken by the court is an undue expansion of the admiralty jurisdiction. Coadjutor Becomes Archbishop of St. Louis. ROME—(Special.) Upon receiving the news of the death of Joseph Kalan Archbishop of St. Louis, the congression of the propaganda arranged for the appointment to the archbishopric of Bishop John J. Glennon, who being already coadjutor, does not have to go through the formal process required for the appointment of titulars to vacant sees. Cardinal Gotti, prefect of the propaganda, has issued a notice that the first meeting of the congregation of the propaganda will take place the first part of November. This first meeting is simply for the purpose of commemorating the cardinals who died during the year. The real work of the congregation will only be assumed at the end of November, or the first part of December. The principal American question to be decided by the congregation is the appointment of an archbishop for Milwaukee, a bishop for Columbus and the division of the dioceses of Hartford and Dubuque. DOWIE'S COACH ATTACHED. A Deputy Sheriff Seized the Vehicle for a Lawyer's Bill. NEW YORK.—(Special) An attachment has been served here upon Dowie's coach and team. As the vehicle was passing the Fifth Avenue hotel, a deputy sheriff jumped upon the driver's seat, served the attachment upon the coachman, seized the coach and team and drove off with them. The attachment is said to be for $1,000 and was secured by an attorney, Robert E. Farley. His claim is for services in defending J. Luther Pierson of White Plains, an ex-Zionite, who was convicted for allowing his child to die without medical assistance. The usual early morning service of the Zion restoration host in Madison Square garden Monday was attended by a large crowd of Zion citizens with many outsiders. Dowie attended the meeting and spoke a short time. This is the last week of the host's work in this city. EXPECTS TO DIE IN A WEEK. Physician Accidentally Inoculates Himself with Tetanus Serum. DES MOINES, IOWA.—(Special) Dr. L. D. Rood, one of the most prominent physicians of the city, accidentally inoculated himself with antitetanic serum while attending a child, who was dying of lockjaw, and Monday his friends were startled by his announcement that he expected to be dead in a week. "I am feverishly awaiting the approach of next Saturday, when I shall know whether I am to live or to die," said Dr. Rood. Dr. Rood had given the last drop of serum that remained in Des Moines to the child. It was necessary to send to Detroit, Mich., before he succeeded in getting a small quantity of the anti-tetanus serum for himself. Dr. Scholer and Dr. Charles Smith were consulted by Dr. Rood, Dr. Smith said: "If the inoculation has taken place, it will be known in two or three days, and then, if so, Dr. Rood must die." A RACE BY 1.600 GIRLS Paris Is Still Laughing at a Sunday Scratch. PARIS. — (Special.) It is a long time since any event has caused such a sensation as the walking competition here Monday by the dressmakers working girls. The place of the rendezvous was the garden of the Tuilleries. The girls' ages were from 14 to 40, and their costumes were as varied as the wearers. There were 1,600 starters, and many of them took the master quite seriously. There was not a vacant inch of space in the garden while up the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, as far as the eye could reach nothing could be seen except lines of spectators.
