Giants.

In one of his recent lectures Prof Sill
man, the younger, alluded to the discovery
of the skeleton of an enormous lizard of
eighty feet The Professor inferred, as no
living specimens of such magnitude has
been found, that the species which it rep
resents had degenerated The verify of
his position he rather singularly endeavored
to enforce by an allusiOn to the well-known
existence of giants in old times. The fol-
lowing list is the data upon which the sin
gillar hypothesis is based:
The giant exhibited at Rouen, in 1880,
the Professor says, peasured nearly
eighteen feet p (iiAt tI t.1L
Garapiqs saw girl that was ten feet
The giant Galabra, brought from Arabia
to Rome, under Claudius Caesar, was ten
feet high. sq t teH
Fannum, who lived in the time of Eu-
gene H., measured eleven and half feet,
1.-THE Chevalier Scrog, in his voyage to
tile Peak Of Teneriffe, found in one of the
csIverns of that mountain the head of the
Gqnich, who had sixty teeth, and was not
less than fifteen feet high, r
The giant Farragus, slain by Orlando,
nepheM- of Charlemagne, was-twenty feet
high.
In 1900, near Rolidn, was found a skele-
ton whose skull held bushel of corn, and
who was nineteen feet high. r..
The giant Racart was thirty-three feet
high his thigh-bones were found in 1909
near the River Modei. '-i i,'iil|'i
In 1923 near the castle of Dauphine, a
! tomb was found thirty-three feet long, six
teenfeet wide, and eight feethigh, On.which
was cpt in gray stones these words; "Keu-
toloehus Ro2." The skeleton was found
entire, twenty five andIa fourth feet long,
ten feet across the shoulders, and five feet
from the breast bone TO the back } -
Near Palermo m Sicily, in 1916, was
sfounH the skeleton of a giant thirty feet
high, and, in 1869, another forty four feet
high. 80 - 49, ~ p
| r, Near Mazerino, in Sicily, in, 1915, was
,fObndtle skeleton Of a giant thirty feet
high. The head was the size of a hogs
head, and each Of his teeth weighed iive
ounces.
We have no doubt there were giants, in
/ thosg days, and the pastIwas more prolific
in producing them thanJt present But
the, history of, giants during the Older
time was not more than that of dwarfs
several of whom were even smaller thar
the llRmbs and Nuts of our time.

The Governors Speech.

The Shreveport Southeastern commenting
on Governor Warmoth's speech there,
says:
That it is both the privilege and the duty
of the Governor to visit all parts of the
State and to discuss all questions of public
interest, we presume, no rght-thinking man
ever questioned or denied. For our part,
we are glad he came TO Shreveport, and we
are happy to say he addressed a large and
respectable meeting composed, in the main,
of white citizens, not one man in every
hundred of the auditors who was not pO-
litically opposed to him. and yet he was
heard with the greatest respect.
The Southwestern continues:
We have endeavored, in summary way,
to give our readers the salient points of the
speech, and which we wish they all could
have heard. For, with all it's Objectionable
matter, the tone was conciliatory, and the
temper Of the meeting was conciliatory.

AN OLD COMMENTARIES ARREsTED-His

AN OLD COUNTERFEITER ARRESTED-H,s
Machinery Captured While Red Hot
Deputy United States Marshal j. c. Aver,
assisted by James Fitzpatrick, United
States detective, and two Metropolitan po-
lice officers, last Monday eliminated piece
of work which Fitzpatrick has had on hand
for several months. The authorities have
for some time been aware that counterfeit
gold and silver coin were manufactured IN
or near this city, most Of which was shipped
to Texas, Mexico and Otherplaces. Many
weeks ago it was known that T. Harris, a
man pretending to be a clock tinker, on
jena, between Camp and Chestnut streets,
Sixth District, was the real manipulation.
His movements were closely watched, and
it was only by gradually gaining his conf
edence, and through other parties discover
ing his secrets one by one that the final sue
cess was achieved.
At the first dawn of his suspicion MI
Fitzpatrick reported all the circumstances
connected with the case to Colonel H. Z.
Whitley, Chief of the Secret Service Division.
Treasury Department, who formed the
plans for the arrest and conviction OF Harris,
and forwarded them to Mr.. j. M fltz-
patrick, who then set to work, and having
secured a trustworthy agent, succeeded
through him in buying from Harris several
counterfeit United States gold CONS IN
small sums. After these transactions were
fairly under way, the agent in obedience to
instructions, proposed to purchase the press
dies and molds. The proposition was &C
cepted, but before the arrangement could
be completed, it became necessary that the
agent should be instructed in the art OF
manufacturing spurious coin. After
lengthy discussion, and considerable STRAIT
egy, Harris, it is said, agreed to teach all
that was required, but for this he demanded
a deposit of $3.50 asa guarantee. Mr.. Fitz-
patrick, fearing that if the request was at
once complied with, Harris suspicious
might be aroused, directed his agent to
offer to deposit fifty dollars, and, if possible,
take receipt for it in Harris own writing.
He at the same time, furnished the agent
with two hundred and fifty dollars, that he
might have it to deposit in case 1t was abso-
1,,+e,v necessary. Harris accepted the fifty
dollars. and commenced his instructions
in the mysteries of counterfeiting on Sun
day. the twenty-third instant, continuing
at work all day in his house in the Sixth
District.
They recommended on Monday and con-
tinued until about half-past two O'Clock.
when Mr.. Fitzpatrick, accompanied by Dep
u.v limited States Marshal James c. Aver,
and two city police officers, kindly rendered
by Colonel A. s. Badger, made descent on

will not permit us to publish. The wreath
was received by the president of the club,
who, on behalf of the members, made a
stirring and eloquent speech. Mr.. Daniel
Crowley, candidate for Constable, made
few interesting remarks on the situation,
which were well received.

the house. Mr.. Fitzpatrick arrested Harris,
and captured one press, two rollers. one gal
vanic battery, one lever, four steel dies for
making counterfeit ten dollar gold pieces,
and two molds for counterfeit halfdollars.
The last which were not yet cold, Were
filed with spurious metal. In addition to
these were a quantity of unfinished coins
and various articles necessary for the bust
ness Of counterfeiting. Harris, who was
found at work, did not attempt to escape or
to deny his guilt.
He had instructed the agent alluded to, to
give his real name in case he got into
trouble, while in the city, so that he seeing
it in the papers could assist him. He, it is
said, further stated that he had been in the
counterfeitinS business twenty-five years,
here in this city, and had never Yet been
caught; that he had great influence, and
went about mending clocks as a blind.
Too much credit can not be given to Colo
mel Whitley for the ability with which the
capture was planned or to Mr.. Fitzpatrick,
by whose efficiency and untiring energy it
was successfully carried out
The following affidavit has been made in
the case:
