Daniel Mccartney, an humble laborer in Sa-
lem, Coumbiana county, SO years of age, pos
sesses such wonderful memory that he is the
subject of an article in the last number of the
Journal of Speculative Philosophy, published in
st. Louis. The article was written by W. d.
Henkle, the state commissioner ofpublic schools.
Mr.. HenlSle visited Mccartney and used all pos
sible ingenuity in making repeated tests Nc
Cartney is illiterate and nearly blind, but he
remembers the occurrences of every day 'siaee
January 1, 1927, when he was nine years old.
Mention any date to him in the last forty-four
years, and he tells instantly what day of the
week it was, what sort of weather prevailed, and
what he was working at and conversed about.
Mr.. Henkle provided himself with journal for
forty-ive years, and, after several severe cross
examinations, proved Mccartney to be correct
invariably. Mccartney also displayed re-
markable faculty for mental arithmetic.
Silver Spring, Florida, is one of the greatest
curiosities in the south II bursts forth in the
midst of the most fertile country in the state.
Ii bubbles up in basin near one hundred feet
deep and about an acre in extent, and sending
from 1t deep stream sixty to one hundred feet
wide, and extending six to eight miles TO the
Ocklawaha river. In the spring itself fifty boats
may lie at anchor-auite a feet. The spring
steamers now run regularly from the st. Johns,
making close connections with the ocean steam
ers at Paatka. The clearness of the water is
truly wonderful. 1t seems even more trans
parent than air; you see the bottom, eighty feet
below the bottom Of your boat, the exact form
of the smallest pebble, the outline and color of
the leaf that has sunk, and all the prismatlc
colors of the rainbow are reflected. Large fish
swim in it, every scale visible and every move
ment distinctly seen. Ii you go over the spring
in boat you will see the assures in the locks,
from which the river pours upward like an in
verted cataract.
SHARPNESS OF THE PARIS GAMIN.-"How

little fellow who was selling newspapers at the
corner of the boulevards, carefully reckoning mp
his gains, and giving change with a practiced
hand.
'SiX," was the laconic reply.
And how long have you been carrying on
this business"
With roguish look, and bending down to
fold his newspapers on the pavement, as if he
would show how easy it was for him to attend
to two things at once, he answered.

The Nathan Murder.


Mr.. Kelso, superintendent of the New York
city police, processes to have conclusive evidence
that the Nathan murderer is a notorious
villain named Billy Forester, and known, also,
by five or six other names. For months, Mr.
Kelso has sought to arrest this scoundrel, with
out success, partly because detectives in some of
the other cities have failed to cooperate with
him in proper manner. Forester has been
discovered once or twice, but escaped while the
police in the places where he was hiding were
telegraphing for information in regard to the
'reward." Finally, weeks ago, all trace of him
was lost; and, the officers being now bafled in
their pursuit. Superintendent Kelso makes
known these facts, and offers a reward of $500
for his arrest and delivery in New York. He
refused TO make public the evidence against
Forester, and does not tell how he secured it,
but is sure that a jury will find it conclusive.
II appears that Forester was discovered to be
the murderer of Mr.. Nathan sometime previous
to the death of superintendent Jourdan, and not
many weeks after the murder was done. 1t is
known that he had two aceomplices, who are
not named. There are vain conjcctures in regard
10 the evidence, and convict at Sing Sing nam
ed Ellis, is mentioned as the probable source of
Mr.. KelsO's information. This Ellis has re-
veaed the fact that sometime before the murder
he made an agreement with Forester to plumber
Mr.. Nathan's house, but was prevented from
carrying out that agreement by the arrest that
led to his residence at Sing Sing But the facts
that convince the police did not come from Ellis,
although his prating may have furnished the
clues which led TO them. Forester is an "es-
capped convict " from the Illinois state prison at
Joliet, where he has still thirteen years to serve
He is hardened villain, guilty of innumerable
crimes. 1t is known that he fed from New
York Immediately after the murder, and that
he has since committed burglary. 1t is to be
hoped that he will soon be arrested and tried for
the murder of Mr.. Nathan, with which he is
charged.

The New Government loan.

The new loan which Mr. Boutwell, is now
Offering, consists of three classes OF bonds, five
hundred millions bearing five per cent interest
and redeemable at the pleasure Of the United
states after ten years, three hundred millions
bearing four and half per cent interest and
redeemable after fifteen years, and seven hun
dred millions at four per cent. interest, redeem
able after thirty years from the date of issue.
The interest on all of them is to be paid quar-
tery in gold and the princ pal also is, of course
redeematle only in coin. They are offered at
par in gold, or in exchange for United States
bonds bearing six per cent. interest Other par
ticulars in regard to their issue, the various
sizes of bonds offered, and the persons and cor
porations authorized to receive subscriptions for
them, may be found elsewhere in this paper.
This loan is just put upon the market, and
already several millions of the five per cents
have been taken in large amounts by bank
ing institutions and private bankers. Mr..
Boutwell,, it is said, is confident that these bonds
OF the first class will be in steady and pretty
active demand until all arc issued. Every issue
as the proceeds are all employed in redeeming
the hVe-twenties, reduces the amount of those
Oohos III the market, and eompels capital seek
ing investment in government securities tn he
content with slightly lower rate of interest
than it has heretofore been able to command
The five twenties of the different issues are now
either at or above par in gold. The ten-forties
the only five per cent loan of the United States
are now little below par, but less advance
than has taken place within few months mast
would bring them up 10 par. The new five per
cents are, however, better than the ten.forties.
because they have longer time to run, and this
advantage is, perhaps, nearly enough to make
the difference of a trife more than two per cent.
which the ten-forties now lack of being worth
par in gold
What success this new loan will have in Eu-
rope remains to be seen. 1t is not unreasona-
pie' however, TO expect a considerable demand
ior inc hVe per cent bonds. At home, though
~ ueiaand may not be very active at first,
tueie Il no reason Why it should not steadily in
crease until the Eve hundred millions are ex.
hausted. Five per cent interest. with shsoln,e
security and freedom from taxation Is a re,rrn

The NATHAN MUnDrRrR DIscovrnrn-I

THE NATHAN MURDERER DIsCovEREp.-It
is said, and there is good authority for the state
ment, that the real murderer of Mr.. Nathan of
New York, is one Billy Forester, an escaped
convict and desperate man, and there is not
detective in the country who is not on the look
out for him in hopes of obtaining the large re-.
ward offered for his apprehension and convic.
ton. II is known that Forester had spoken of
Cracking" Nathan's residence, and of the ease
with which it could be done, and that he was at
the Fifth Avenue hotel, in its immediate vicin-
itty, just prior to the murder, and subsequently
disappeared Other facts which have been OBJ
tanned make complete chain of cjrcumstantiaI
evidence against Forester, and his arrest, if in
delayed. 60
