after the Battle.

A large section OF this city refuses
this morning to eat and sleep. 1t will
do nothing but talk of the fight last
night that ended in the once great and,
supposedly. inyincible John l.. Sulli-
van hanging limp and helpless over the
ropes, his battered face and bruised body
bearing little resemblance to the man
who confidently stepped into the ring
one hour and twenty three minutes
earlier.
The result surprised everybody except
a few who were away on tho inside.
These few knew Sullivan was doomed II
Corbctt had the science and agility to
st9vc oil Sullivan for halt hour. Macon
Mccormick, who knows Sullivan by
heart, said before the fight that the
champion ln0w eX-l could hit as hard as
ever and was quicker on his feet than
when he fought Kllrain, but that he
evidently became "blowed" easier than
two years ago when he was still thought
to be the worlds best man.
An enormous wad of money was
dropped on the fight, and men who came
here in palace coaches will be glad tc

easily, odds being offered and slowly
taken simply on speculation. Corbett anc

returns come in very slowly. The indi-

scarborough ralks.

ii. A. Gudger, in asking the attention
of the convention said that sixteen years
ago in a campaign he had heard a
Democrat utter a sentiment that he
could never forget. The sentiment was
this: North Carolina is a white mau's
State, this is white mans country,
and, by the eternal gods, the white peo-
pie will rule it." The man who uttered
this was present, was John {. Scarbor-
ough, Democratic candidate for superin-
tendent of public instruction, and Mr..
Gudger hoped lac would address the con-
vention.
MIR. Scarborough said in the start that
he bore no i'll will to any colored man,
but his sentiments of sixteen years ago
held good today. He showed that the
first Farmers alliance meeting, in nShreve-
port, La, 1887, denounced laws
placed on the statute books bv Repuhli-
can enactment and fastened upon the
people by the Republican party. The
Alliance at Ocala had passed as strong a
resolution as has ever been passed
against the force bill, asking that it
should not be passed by Congress. He
argued, therefore, that the Democratic
party and the alliance were practically
on the same ground, with one or two
exceptions.

| OF course we couldn't be very hilarious
over our experience with the innocent Up
| ton for that day, and we turned in early.
The third morning Upton said he didn't
care for any sport, but would stay home
and have quiet little time by himself,
practicing on skinning and dressing the
deer and cooking venison. We had about
made up our minds to give him up as too
innocent entirely to be satisfactory sub
ject for enjoyable guying, but as we were
on our way to our fishing grounds for that
day we came upon noted character of
those backwoods, who was cutting timber
a mile from our camp.
He was a six foot, double listed, fierce
looking bushwhacker, and was known to
have whipped every fighting man for miles
around in that region and there were a
good many tough customers thereabout
Upon meeting this ugh-and-tumble ter
ror We thought we would give Upton a
scare anyhow, even If we were not on hand
to enjoy it. We all knew the bushwhackcr
well, and we told him about Upton and
hired him to go to the camp some tina
during the day, bulldoze Upton, hold him
up and make him hand over everything he
had, in true freebooter style. We told the
big woodsman to do whatever he pleased
to Upton, but not to hurt him in any way.
The bushwhacker was delighted with the
job and promised to carry it out to perfec-
ton. We went on our way satisfied that
we would hear most enjoyable recital OF
his days experiences from Upton when we
got back to camp and have the laugh on
him then.

The German Empire.

The case of the Grand Duke of
Hesse and his brother potentates
forms one of the most interesting
phases in the German situation of
today, and one must know some
thing about it in order to understand
the current of German affairs. Ger
many, as well as the United States,
has dual system of government,
though hers is in other respects very
unlike ours There the big state of
Prussia has three-ffths the area of the
whole, and III round numbers about
thirty millions out Of fifty million
population.
Her king is at the same time Ger
man emperor. Consequently Prus-
STA is the cock of the walk in Ger
many, and behind her come tagging
along with more or less degree of
dignity some twenty-five states, of
which three are kingdoms, ranging
in Importance from Bavaria, which
has the population of Belgium OF
Holland and the area Of both, whose
capital, Munich, is one of the finest
cities in Europe, down to the princi-
pality of Schaumburg Lippe, which
an active Kentucklan could come
very near jumping across. -Louis-

Upton produced the bears ear as he CON
cluded his story, and we sat down and
looked at one another dumfounded. By
and by found words to say:
How did you get rid of the bush
whacker?"
"Oh, he's up there in the cabin" replied
Upton calmly.
We made a rush for the cabin. The
''holy terror" we had sent to camp to have
fun with Upton was indeed there. He was
bound hand and foot with hammock cords.
Both eyes were black. his nose was
swollen and bloody and he was altogether
the most dilapidated looking backwoods-
man that ever got licking. We united
him, and he arose slowly and painfully to
his feet. As soon as he was able to recog-
nize us he growled out:
"Ye sent me down here to hev some fun
with him, did yer I've had It'll Nex' time

Then the big bushwhacker limped off to
ward his clearing, and we resolved unani
mously that Upton took things entirely
in too literal a sense to be success as q

Tho Crave of penn.s surveyor.

In little clump of woods just off
the line and to the eastward of the
Bustleton branch of the Pennsylvania
railroad, one mile from the village of
Holmesburg, lies the body of Thomas
Holme, the man who, as surveyor
general for William Penn, laid out the
city of Philadelphia. The little ceme-
terry in which the body of Holme lies
is SO isolated and so unfrequented
that stranger could not well find it
without the aid of a guide. In it,
besides the body of the great sur
veyor, there are hundred or more
graves of those of his descendants.
In the center of this acre and half
devoted by the Holme family to the
burial of their dead stands a little
white marble monument, erected by
private subscription in 1868. The in
scription on this monument reads
"In memory of Thomas Holme, died

The Sunflower Industry.

When man tries TO put a new idea in
practice he is called ''crank," but after
he succeeds and makes fortune the world
does him homage. From Palsy to Edi-
son large part of mankinds advancement
has been due to the efforts and triumphs
of 'cranks." 1t is now just half century
since Russian farmer named Bokareff
conceived the idea of extracting oil from
the seeds of the 'sunfower. His friends
tried to dissuade him, but he perseyered,
and from that humble beginning the in
dustry has expanded to enormous proper
lions. Today more than 100000 acres of
land in Russia are devoted to the cultiva-
ton of the sunfower. The area devoted
to the crop has nearly doubled in five
years. Two kinds of sunfiower are grown
-one with small seeds, which are crushed
for oil, and the other with large seeds,
that are consumed by the common people
in enormous quantities, very much as peo-
pie eat peanuts in the United States.

Making Pins and Needles.

Metal pins were introduced into Eng
land from France in 1913. Within a
short time after machines were con-
structed in England for the manufacture
of pins. Previously they had been filed
to point and the head had been soldered
by hand. Great opposition was made to
the novelty" says Felkin, "but utility
aud cheapness prevailed in its favor.
The common sewing needle was brought
hither from India after the discovery of
the route by the Cape of Good Hope.
Before that time sewing was performed
in the method still used by shoemakers. :

lecture Rev. Thomas S. Dana, an
educated Indian, made this singular
statement: 1.-The Indians never cook
anything in the house. They always
cook outside, giving as their only rea-
son that if they cook inside the steam
will collect in their clothing and
draw the lightning Whether this is
truth or not l do not know, but do
