HIS BRAIN ALWAYS BUSY.
How the Inventor of the Calling Gun
Spends His Time.
From the Chicago Tribune.

FROM tue CHtCtlyO IfIOuHe.
One of the best known young men in
Hartford, Conn, is w. r. Sill, who at one
time owned the Hartford Telegram. At
the Auditorium hotel last evening Mr. Sill
told some interesting facts about one of
Connecticut's most famous citizens
"Dr. Richard j. Calling, the inventor of
the Calling gun, said he, lis an industrious
man for one of his years, aud, while he has
done little in the way of invention since he
gave his famous field-piece to the world, he
has been far from idle all these years. The
doctor lives in a handsome house on Charter
Oak Hill, built near the spot where the his
tcric charter oak tree stood. In his back
yard stands a long wooden shed, under
which extends carpenters table This is
the Doctors workshop, and a curious place
it is. Wooden and metal models, old and
weather-stained, lie about, surrounded by
diagrams and drawings. To this workshop
the doctor goes every morning. pleasant or
stormy, and works until breakfast, which
in his household is scheduled for o'clock.
ITO enumerate the divers ideas on which
this genius has worked would be an almost
impossible task. In the last ten years he
has fooled with perpetual motion, cleo
tricty, dynamite guns, telegraphy, aerial
navigation and cold storage.
Some one told me the other day that the
doctor was at work on the manufacture of
ice, and hoped ere long to discover pro-
cess whereby ice could be made for less than
it can be cut and housed from the lakes and
rivers. l am confident that he is working
at this.
1.-The people of Connecticut are up in arms
against the ice companies. Ice costs $50 a
ton, and the people can do nothing but
groan and pay the price. DR.. Calling be-
lleves that he can make ice from chemicals
at cost of less than SO ton, and that a
l0O-pound block of ice will last month in
refrigerator. As understand it, he has
fitted up an addition TO his back yard work
shop where he is performing his expert
ments. The nature of his labor leaked out
in Hartford the other day through the
medium of his coachman.n

ANOTHER PoOAHoNTAs.
This One Died From an Arrow IN

Smith

This One Died From an Arrow In
tended for the Same Capt. John
Smith.
From the PittSbur0 Dispatch
1t is generally known that in 1914 Capt.
John Smith, of Pocahontas fame made a
tripto what is now Gardiner, Me-, but there
was an incident that occurred during that
visit that Is known by very few people, The
Cahassas were presided over by a)chief,
having headquarters at what is now Gardi-
ner, known as Cabassa, who had a
daughter named Schools, famed among
her tribe for her beauty
and grace. She was, unfortunately,
snitten OF once with the gallant captain,
who was, by the way, the first white man
to visit these parts, and who was received
with great cordially. Smith had with him
lieutenant named Hunt. who vas of
rather a quarrelsome disposition and prone
to mutiny. Whom the time came for the
party Of whites to depart, Hunts mutinous
spirit showed itself, and with small party
of followers he left Smith, going in an
opposite direction. His party took with
them as captives several of the tribe of
Cabassas
The chief, considering the whites one
party, by a great mistake followed Capt.
Smiths loyal band, which camped that
location of Gardiner in an easterly direc-
tion. Schools, thinking to warn the
captain, hurried on before the party of
enraged Indians, but arrived too late for as
she arrived at the camp the first volley of
arrows was delivered.
Thinking to save Smith, she fed to him,
threw Ter arms about his neck, and in that
position received an arrow in the breast
that caused instant DEATH The chief was
palsied at the accident, and ordered hostili-
ties to be ceased. This allowed Smith an
opportunity to explain that it was TIE
other party that had perpetrated the kid
mapping.
After a sorrowful return and the burial
of Schools near the Randolph church. the
party of red men went in search of Hunt.
He was overtaken near Norridgewock, and
his band exterminated to a man. Capt
Smith had the martyred Schools to thank
for his life, for the arrow that reached her
heart was meant for him. The grave of
Schools is unmarked; in fact, its exact
location is unknown.

THE RIVER AND RARBOR.
Happenings Along the Wharves and
Among the Shipping.

The steamer Pilot Boy. with colored
excursion from Beaufort, accompanied by
a brass band, relieved the monotony of the
river front yesterday. The excursionists
arrived about O'Clock in the afternoon and
returned about 4: 80 o'clock last night.
Capt. J. C.. Mitchell arrived in Savannah
yesterday from Baltimore. Capt. Mitchell
was formerly in command of the United
States revenue cutter Thomas Ewing at
Baltimore, and comes here to take command
Of the revenue cutter George S. Boutwell,.
He no stranger in this section, having for a
number of years commanded the McCul-
Tough in Charleston. Lieut.. Harrison, V no
has had charge of the Boutwell,, turned her
over to Capt. Mitchell.
The Portuguese bark Glama was cleared
yesterday for Oporto with 200 bales of
upland cotton, weighing 54l,2l3 pounds,
valued at $6l, 200, and 2,547 pieces pitch
pine lumber, measuring III 1862 feet, valued
at 81 800; total valuation of cargo $62, 700.
Cargo and vessel cleared by Roosevelt 81
Esteve 1t is rather a remarkable thing for
vessels to be cleared from this port for ten
months in the year to direct ports with
cotton, but this year has beaten the record
1t is now within two months of the new
crop and shows that Savannah has had a
remarkable cotton year in many par
ticularS

The Directors to Take Possession of
the De Soto and What There is in Il.
Since the "De Soto" closed for the season
speculation has been rife as to the future of
Savannah's great hotel. There was consid-
cradle difference of opinion as to how the
hotel had been conducted, whether its
cuisine and general management had been
up to the standard required in such a con-
Germ. The directors. however apparently
made no issue with the lessees on that point,
although some of the board expressed
dissatisfaction with the management. The
general impression among outsiders was
that there was fair prospect that Messrs.
John A. Baker & Co. would continue as
lessees.
The hotel directors were disposed to act
with the utmost fairness to the lessees, and
gave Mr.. Baker every extension he asked
for in order that he might make arrange
ments to hold the lease, although they were
not satisfied with his way of conducting the
business or his management of the hotel.
Several extensions of time were given to
Mr.. Baker in which to make satisfactory ar
engagements, the last extension having
expired on June 2.
Action on the matter of vacating the
lease was postponed until yesterday in the
hope that Mr. Baker would still be
able to arrange his affairs. Nothing
further, however, was heard from him, and
the directors Of the hotel company at its
meeting yesterday afternoon passed a
resolution to take possession of the hotel
and its contents, and authorizing the Presi-
dent to advertise the property for lease.
There are already several applications to
lease the hotel, and there will doubtless be
no difficulty, now that hotel men know
what the De Soto is, in securing first
class proprietor for it.
