On of the best-known emotional actresses In America Fanny Davenport mode a great deal of money In a repertoire of Bardoo's plays, "Cleopatra," Toeca." "Feodora," and "Oiamonda."

This time it occur ted In Glasgow. Scotland, where the divine Sarah was going through ene of her most agonizing scenes, when she auddenly'found herself clasped In the arms ef a brawny Scotchman.

"At first," according to an English newspaper report, "she thought it was Darmont a little overdoing his part, but Judge of her horror to find that it was ths limelight man, who. carried away by the scene, had rushed on to protect her, and with his face bathed In tears shouted to her lover's father: "Ye maunna halrm her; she's a guld lassie." This yarn Is the Wandering Jew of press agent literature. It travels round and round the world, showing up at Irregular Intervals, but Is never allowed to be completely at rest. Every now and then it dons a new suit of clothes in an attempt to disguise Itself, but It doesn't thoroughly succeed In this purpose. The most ordinary eye may 'discern Its Identity at a single glance.

We all know Sarah Is a great actress, but her strong suit seems to be the -reduction of calcium men to lachrymal Henley's End At Hand. E.

When be dies-the theater will lose an actor of ability, who was prevented from scaling the loftiest heights only by his utter Inability to withstand temptation. Once when a party of actors were discussing him and had about concluded that It was really too bad that he should posnees such shortcomings. Wilton Lackaye disposed of ahe matter with characteristically original reasoning. "You all ought to be glad Henley gets Crunk." said he, "for If he didn't he would have all the engagements, and the rest of you would be perpetually looking for a see-- Kathryn Kidder Succeeds Rhea.

L. Williams, to join Jetfersonville's vol unteers, Company at Camp Mount, Indianapolis.

There Is a pool of water, and near by a rippling stream that circles a gallery and suddenly dips down and disappears. The explorers returned with sped' mens of stalactites and stalagmites, and other formations that are beautiful. There are many caves in Clark county.

The Same Welcome News From Camp Chicka-mauga and Camp Alger. Colonel Hamilton and Colonel Coit Write Com-forting Letters to Friends at Home. LC Nearly everybody has been agreeably surprised at the readiness with which our soldiers have adjusted themselves to a tropical climate.

The heat of our (rest Southern camps seems neither to destroy the vigor nor dampen the enthusiasm of our soldier boys. Even the terrific heat of Cuba during the worst ot the hot season has been braved by our troops, and while a few prostrations frcm heat have been reported, the amount of sickness has been astonishingly small, compared with what was generally expected. Of course, the boys have taken care of themselves. Everything that sanitary precaution could suggest has been observed. The food supply has been good and abundant Surgical and medical provisions of our army can not be excelled anywhere.

Some of the boys have even gone so far as to provide themselves with old and tried remedies against beat, fatigue and exposure. Among these remedies Pe-ru-na seems to be the favorite with the most of the boys. Two letters recently received by Dr. Hartman can not fail to interest all who are concerned with the welfare ot our soldiers: Headquarters Seventh Regiment, O. V.

"His Contest" SOME NEW PHASES 07 THE BAKER-HOWARD CULT COUNTY Tlf UJ. Charles Woo ton Slakes An Important Deathbed Confession and Gilbert Garrard Gets a Clew. Manchester, July The Baker-Howard feud has taken on at least two new phases within the present week.

Charles Wooton, who was shot by A B. Howard's son-in-law, Sid Baker, had hemorrhage of the lungs a few nights ago, and his doctor told him he could not live long. Wooton told the doctor that he wanted to make a statement and a lawyer was sent for and ths dying man, conscious of his rapidly approaching end. made the following declaration: "It was not Tom Baker who killed Wilson Howard and Burch Stores and -wounded old man A. B.

Howard from ambush. The perpetrators of that crime were Tom Baker's son, Jim, aged sixteen, and his son, Hugh, aged fourteen, and Fuller Barrett a cousin, aged twenty-three. Tom's boys made the plot and they wanted me to Join them. They were mad at the Howards because they had shot their father, and although Tom was not badly hurt, they determined to klU aU the Howards they could." As a result of his confession both the Baker boys have been arrested and lodged In Jail here. They stoutly maintain their innocence.

The other new development is the discovery. It Is. thought of the Identity of the assassin who shot at Gilbert Garrard Sunday morning. Garrard. It seems, had an idea that It was not the Whites or any member ot the Baker faction who tried to kill htm, and he followed a clew he discovered, which led him to have one of his employes.

Jack Bundy, arrested. He Is now under guard at Garrard's house. It seems that Bundy got mad at Garrard over some trivial matter, and thought so Garrard says, that he would kill him In such a way that everybody would think he was a victim of the Baker-Howard feud. Garrard Is positive he can convict Bundy of the offense. Wealthy Cuban Dead.

New Tork. July 9. Francisco J. Cls-Deros Is dead at the Windsor Hotel ot Brlght's disease and neuralgia of the heart aged sixty-two. He was a man of large wealth and was a 'descendant of one of the most noted Cuban families.

AH of his brothers bad notable careers as lawyers, physicians and engineers.

Per J. C. SchlndeL Chaplain Regiment. Pe-ru-na Is a specific for climatic diseases. Climatic affections find their way into the system through the mucous membranes.

A healthy mucous membrane protects the system from climatio diseases. No disease germ or bacteria can enter the system through a healthy mucous membrane. Pe-ru-na acts directly upon the mucous membrane of the whole body and thus pro tects tne system from these diseases. COTTON TEXTILE SCHOOL XOL TBJLXS.

WIU Probably Report Za Paror of Establishing a Department Za Manual Training School. Mr. Frank Von Borrles. chairman ot the Commercial Club Committee which Is seeking to have a textile department Introduced in ths Manual Training High School of Louisville. Is now in the East Inspecting the schools and methods of Instruction New Tork and Philadel phia.

Mr. Von Borrtes suggested ths advis ability of having such a department In the Manual Training High School soma tlmo ago and haa been aa nthuslastio worker for It for the past two or three months. He will return from the East about August 1, and wlH report the result of his Investigations to ths Commercial Club with a view to having such a de partment created. At present there is only one school In which the manufact ure of cotton fabrics Is taught in ths South. It is at Clemson College In Geor gla, At the close of the spring term of ths Georgia School ot Technology last month the President announced that such a department would be conducted In connection with that school next year.

The Georgia Legislature has made an appropriation ot to aid the school with ths understanding that $10,000 more in money and machinery was to be raised. The machinery has already been obtained and la ready for placing, so that beginning with the next school year the South will have two textile fabric schools. The object of the school Is. to teach young men the process of manufacturing co ton fabrics, beginning with the raw fibre and ending with the manufactured cloth, so that men capable of superin tending the manufacture of cotton goods in the section where cotton grows may dc developed. LIABILITIES GROW, i Stein Brewing Company Will Show Debt of About $78,000 Liens On the Property.

It is believed that the liabilities of the 8tein brewery, which assigned Friday, wUl reach 176,000 when all the lia bilities are taken Into consideration. One of the customs of brewers is to seU a year's supply of beer to some of their customers, who pay In advance and get a liberal discount The com pany has many of these contracts and has the money for them, but they were not calculated In the liabilities when they were estimated at JoO.OOO. The beer which Is still due on the contracts wiU have to be calculated In the liabilities. Liens amounting to about $36,000 are resting on the property. The Columbia Finance and Trust Company, which was made the assignee, has placed men In charge of the books.

It is hardly thought probable that the assignee can make a report ot assets and liabilities within the five days specified by law. and an exten sion of time will probably be asked for.

during a visit to Tennessee. The mention ot ths word "oar dons" always starts the genial Governor on a string of stories. He told four or five before our little party, ot which I was one, broke up. One of them at least Is worthy of a larger audience. The Governor bad fled to his summer home to escape the crowds of pardon-seekers, when a woman who had sought him in vain at the Capitol was ushered Into his presence.

"Well, madam, what can I do for your I want to see the Govner. sir." "Well, I am the Governor; what is ltr- "Ah, sir, my man he's been put In prison, sir, snd I want to ask you If you won't let him out." The Governor's face hardened. He had not, after all. escaped the pardon-seekers. But he did not turn her away.

"What was he sent up for?" he asked. "You see, sir, we was hungry, and he just stole a bam to keep us from starving." 1 "Well. I'm sorry, but I csn't do anything for you. Your man must serve his sentence. There's too much stealing going on." "Oh! Gov'ner.

please, please let him out," plesded the woman, the tears flowing down her The tears had their effect. The Governor softened. Stealing a ham was not such a very terrible crime, and this poor woman no doubt needed her husband. He decided to question her a little. "But why." he asked, "should I give your man his freedom?" "Because, sir.

we are hungry again, and we ain't got no more Death of An Epileptic. Franklin, July Special.) J. W. Robey fell into his well to-day and was drowned.
