A Giant of the OIden Time.

One OF the most remarkable finds of
gigantic human remains of which we
nave any record, says the st. Louis Re-
1aote, was that made at Palermo,
s,lclly, in the year 1916, when an en-
ere skeleton of unheard-of proportions
was unearthed by some marble quar-
f!men. These mammoth remains
measured exactly 81 feet from head TO
loot and 3 feet 7 inches from point to
point Of the shoulders. A stone ak
buried with this old-time giant may

Ia olnlsh-iooking, f~ine-grained bowl
oer' and appears to be about 2 feet
lnc0es long by i foot broad and 9

of steal.

United States Marshal Gunkle has
taken possession Of the Sioux City
stove works plant on a writ Of attach
ment procured from the United States
court by the Wachusetts National
Bank OF Fitchburg, Mass, to secure a
claim for $4,000. j. A. l.. Waddell,
Of Kansas City, civil engineer, filed a
mechanics lien against the Pacific g.
Missouri River Bridge Company for
5000 claimed for services.
1t has developed that the Sioux
City Packing Company recently asked
the Union Loan and Trust Company
to raise $4,000 by negotiating the
Packing company's notes. The notes,
10 for $1,000 each, were placed with
the Trust company. Manager Gown
lie, Of the Packing Company, called
for the money several times and was
told that the notes had not been ne
gotiated. Finally he demanded their
return, and the Trust Company then
admitted that it had raised the mon
ey and used it. The Sioux City Dry
Goods Company was worked in a SIM
liar way for $4,000; the Sioux City
Engine Works for s35, ZOO, and Ed
Haakinson for s25, 900. All wanted
the money to discount bills, and all
went so much further in debt instead
Of securing relief.
Assignee Hubbard is still at work
on the list Of liabilities of the Union
Trust Company. He will not give
out any information as to who the
heaviest creditors are, but it is be-
lieved that the $4,000 900 liabilities
will fall heavily on New England
banks and capitalists who have dis

Difference of religion is at the bot
tom of the bitterness against home
rule in Ulster. 1t is hard for an
American to understand that in the
north Of Ireland Protestants and
Catholics still regard each other with
so much dislike and suspicion that a
stranger might fancy the ''siege of
Derry" was not yet ended and that
King James followers were still
fighting. In America the two creeds
live ~peaceably side by side, and with
the exception of an occasional out
break, or ''break" of somebod y's
tongue or pen, one may conclude that
differences of opinion in theology
have been sunk in one absorbing aim
Of getting on in this world. In north
Ireland, however, there are not SO
great possibilities in the way of
accommodating wealth in this world;
consequently the doughty Ulstermen
turn their attention more to the
next. There is no doubt many Of
them really believe that il the home
rule measure were passed they would
no longer be safe in the enjoyme ut Of
their religion. 1t Is no credit either
to Balfour, the Conservative leader,
that he has done all in his power to
rouse the flames OF religious dissen-
sion.

A Monument to stephens.

BY a strange coincidence the body
of Vice President Alexander III.
Stephens, of the late Confederate
States OF America, will be laid in It's
final resting place the same week that
the same office will be performed for
the remains of his chief, jefferson
Davis. When Mr.. Stephens died he
was governor Of the state of Georgia.
At a public meeting, while his body
was lying instate in the state capitol,
it was resolved that a suitable monu-
ment should be erected to his memory.
Chief Justice Crawford it was who
said that perhaps one-half the public
men then in office owed their first
start to the sympathy and monetary
help Of the dead governor. "This
being the case" said he, 'these men
should claim the proud privilege OF
seeing that a monument should be
reared to his memory"
With the burial of Mr.. Stephens
the movement for the monument
Jagged, and the men who were known
to have been the recipients OF his
bounty were absent from all meetings
to further the object. Finally, after
a lapse of ten years, a lady, Mary III.
Gay, took up the work. The monu-
ment, which is a simple Italian shaft,
will be unveiled in about two
weeks.

MEMORY OF GRANT.
Old Neighbors at Galena CeIe-
brate the Anniversary of
His Natal Day.
Grafton by Gov. Mckinley of
OhiO---A Grand Torch
light Procession.

Galena, H., people celebrated the
seventy-frst birthday anniversary Of
Gen. Grant with appropriate exer-
cises. Ten thousand people braved
the unpropitious weather to assist In
honoring the memory of the grea,
commander. The town made a holt
day, public offices, schools and busi~
ness houses being closed and all pro-
fusely decorated. The narrow street
were almost impossible. Y
Governor Mckinley, the orator
the occasion, arrived in the aft
noon, accompanied by III. III. KoL
saat Of the Chicago Inter Ocean ar
Others. The parade was formed
the same time ard the governor a
party were driven direct to s.
parade line.
The parade comprised all the locs
military and civic organization {
with visiting G.. A. r. posts an |
societies headed by the Grant fife az
drum corps, organized twenty-flk
years ago. 1s
The post OF honor was held by tia
remnant Of Company f, Tenth Iii
nois volunteers, the first compan
organized in Galena when the war
broke out.
1t was the original intention to
hold the exercises at Grant Park,
where the monument stands, but the
weather and Governor McKinley's
health precluded this. The o~rations
were therefore delivered In Turner
hall in the evening and the public
reception to Mckinley and Kohlsaat
preceded by torchlight parade and
display of fireworks.
Governor Mckinley, in the Begin
ming Of his address, expressed the
honor he felt in being permitted to
share in observance Of the seventy
first anniversary Of the birth of Gen.
Grant. The speaker rapidly sketched
the boyhood aud early manhood of
Grant, and coming down to the war,
detailed his initial work In the
struggle. The speaker then reviewed
and eulogized Grants military career.
Speaking of Grants civil administra-
tion, Mckinley said:
could anyone have done better
than he? We will not pause to dis
cuss it. He committed errors; but
who could have escaped them. His
administration was one of the strong
est, wisest and most patriotic we
have ever had. Grant won the last
ing gratitude of his fellow country
men, and wherever he went among
them they crowned him with mani
fcstations Of their love and venera-
tion."
Governor Mckinley spoke in touch
ing words Of the struggle of the old
commander with death at McGregor
while finishing his memoirs, and i'm
closing said: "We bow in affectionate
reverence and with the most grateful
hearts TO the immortal names Of
Washington, Lincoln and Grant, and
will guard with ~sleepless vigilance
their mighty work and cherish their
memories forever more"

e,uanuah and the Savannah & West
.-r-supt. w. A. Moore to Have
charge of the Northern Division
Tncluding the Chattanooga, Rome &
Columbus.
rsa main stem division of the Central
-.it.,a5 has been divided into two divi-
..,rs The Augusta division has been
oboriebad and Supt. w. A. Moore, of that
5;visfon has been made superintendent of
t5spew division, with headquarters at
Griffin.
THE new division viii be known as the
,or.beru division and viii be composed of
tbe Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus
rqilroad and the portion Of the main stem
rom Macon to Atlanta and the Epson
county railroad, in all about 317 miles.
crot Z. c. McNeely will
remain in charge of the main
stem or Savannah division, which
will consist of the main line from Savan-
nah to Macon, the Augusta and Savannah
railroad. from Millen to Augusta, the
Savannah and Western railroad from Mel
drim to Lyons and the Gordon and Eaton
Ton railroad, in all about $40 miles.
This is the first change Of any kind
made by Supt. Kline, and being the first
order issded by him since assuming the
duties of that Office, was issued yesterday
rs circular No. /. 1t is as follows:
Central Railroad s. Banking Co. of Georgia.

No lon and after Aug. IS, 1898, the Augusta

mart of the main stem division, office at Savan-
nah. Ca, T. C. McNeely, superintendent.
The Atlanta and Chattanooga, Rome and
Columbus districts will hereafter constitute
division to be known as the northern division,
once at Griffin, Ca, w. A. Moore, superin-
tendent THBo. D. KLINE,
General Superintendent.
Approved: H NJ CONFER, Receiver.
The placing of the Port Royal and Au-
Custa and the Port Royal and Western
Carolina railroads in the hands of separ-
ate receivers and the appointment by
these receivers of superintendent of
their own for the railroads named, left
the superintendent of the Augusta di-
vision with only the ffty-three miles of
the Augusta and Savannah railroad in
his charge
There was no use in maintaining this
small division, and it was decided to com
bine it with the Savannah division.
The main stem division being rather
large for one superintendent to control,
extending from Savannah to Chattanooga
AMI comprising over 800 miles of railroad,
IL was thought best to cut it in half and
transfer superintendent Moore from Au-
gusta to Griffin. It is understood that no
other changes of superintendent are in
prospect.
