called crank, but great many cranks
are only persons so much bigger Drained
than the average human that the latter
cannot justly appreciate the formers
worth. Mr.. Shaw has been all over the
world, and has been shot, cut, tortured
and even hung, by reason of his inyari-
ably upholding right against unprinci-
pied might. He lives in canon, only
occasionally coming into the cities to
rub up against his fellows. He
knows nature as an intimate and
science as an expert, and is most de-
lightful converser. For seventeen wears
he has been studying out the details of
a flying machine, or rather wings ad-
Unstable to mankind. He now thinks
he has perfected the thing The idea on
which he has worked was derived from
a study of the flight of the condor in the
Andes, when Mr.. Shaw was engaged in
building railroads.

Number of Smaller Forgeries Coming to
Light-Rattlesnake Island as
Terminal Point.

The San Gabriel Valley Rapid Transit
railway will be extended at once to
Pasadena and the Duarte. So says
"Uncle John" Bryson, the president, ,and
he knows. The route to Pasadena is a
straightaway course up Broadway to
Colorado street. The right-of-way is all
secured, but few people are still in the
way if they move with the alertness
necessary, the road will be built as fast
as ties and rails can be fastened to-
gether.
There is well-grounded opinion that
this little road will soon come forward
as a new factor in the problem being
studied by railroad men in Southern
California. A meeting of the directors
will be held in a few DAYS, at which
they will listen to some interesting
talks by eastern capitalists.

HARRY CUMMINGS.
His Record Here During His Former
Residence,


An Associated Press telegram from
Seattle published in Mondays HERALD
announced that one Harry Cummings,
hotel clerk at the White house in Ia
coma, had decamped with SAL belong
ing to guest named Sangesta. Cum
mings during boom times was dudish
figure in this part of the country; he
dressed as only hotel clerks and grip
sack tourists can afford to dress, and
drifted from one to another of the
best hotels in this city, Pasadena,
and San Diego. He was financial
exotic, however, and only thrived in the
stimulating tropic atmosphere of boom,
and he followed that condition of affairs
up to Tacoma. There the boom faded
in the great whereaboutness of the un-
findable, and Cummings was left.
Sangesta left his SAL with him, and
Cummings left. 1t was not right; of
course so much left could not be. He
has many friends in this city, and they
are much surprised, and wonder what
has become of Mrs. Cummings, who was
a notably pretty woman.

Very Silly Ac.iGu,

News has reached here that when the
announcement of Gordon's election was
made in Fort Gaines, a number of his
over jealous friends there became 50
highly enthused that they were guilty
of the very silly action of burning Sena-
tor A. C. Hill in efiigy.
This was done because that gentleman
saw fit to cast his vote against Gordon.
In voting as he did, Senator Hill was but
carrying out the wishes of large ma
iority of the influence to which he owed
his election, and as a conscientious and
faithful representative he could not do
otherwise. As consequence, his host
of friends in this, his home county. whc
know him to be the very soul OF honor
and the shictest integrity, are highly
indignant at the outrage offered him
However, we cannot believe the action
was endorsed by the better element of
the good people of Clay county, OF of
Gordon's friends themselves, and are en-
clined to overlook the matter us the out
come of an enthusiasm of a few who
were enthuSed of some other stimulant
than patriotic enthusiasm which is al
ways calculated to cause men to do
things which sober second thought
would notpermit.
Burning in etfigy is rarely eXcusablo
under the most eXaspcrating circum-
stances, and in this instance it is exceed
ingly silly, to say the least of it. Ne
doubt those parties who engaged in it
are heartily ashamed of themselves by
this time

Threatened to Rescue a Prisoner on
Circus Day-Determimed Officers.
The extensive advertising of Frenchs
show brought an unusually large crowd
to the city last Thursday. The show
was much above the average, and that is
probably why the crowd, though larger,
was not more disorderly than usual.
The police We're vieilant from sun up
till midnight, and room at the lookup
was above par. The mayors matineee
Friday morning had a large house, and
the receipts run up in the neighborhood
of about 800.
A citizen from a neighboring county
loaded up to the chin early in the NOR
ming, and as he was being conducted to
the cooler a crowd of his friends follow
ed and made threats of rescuing him.
Chief Hatcher and Officer Jackson over
heard them, and, drawing their pistols
and facing the mob in a determined
manner, ordered them to halt or adj
vance at their peril. The officers meant
business, and seeing it, the crowd dis
perscd and the prisoner was locked up.
A dozen or more other arrests were
made during the day. In elfecting SONS
of them prominent bumps of self-esteem
were rsised on several heads by the Off
GERS, and the woes of those who failed to
take their circus straight are very nu-
merOus.

HON. A. C. HILL
On Important COmmitte eS-What the
Constitution Says of Him.

We notice that our capable and eff
cient Senator, Hon, A. c. Hill, although
inexperienced, is making himself useful
in the halls of the legislature by being
placed on several important committees.
No man is more deeply interested in
C,orgia's welfare than Mr. Hill, and by
o3,pericnce he will become a most useful
il, islator Sundays Constitution says
OF him:
Hon. A. c. Hill, senator from the
eleventh senatorial district, was born
September II, 1870, in Terrell county.
Mr.. Hill is from one of the best fami-
lies in the state, and is a man of sterling
,,tegtity, uncommon good sense, and
line judgement.
He is one of the bert posted men of his
section on the political and economic
questions OF the day, and is one of the
most successful and progressive farmers
Joining the farmers alliance in its in
cipiency, his talents early brought him
to the front He was president o! his ALI
ance as long as the constitution allowed.
He is also one of the most useful of the
trustee stockholders of the state ex-
change Of this organization. In all these
positions, as well as several others, he
has discharged the duties in the most
satisfactory manner to his constituents
and with distinction to himself.
Mr. Hills candidacy for the senate
was not of his seeking, but he was called
out by his friends ON account of his well
known merit ana ability to fill the place
to which he has been called.
Senator Hills magnificent physique
would make him prominent figure in
the legislature were there nothing else to
do so: but he is man possessing all
the elements going to make up an able
and conservative senator and the early
days of the senate show that he is the
right sort of nun TO be intrusted with
affairs OF STATE
