THE TOWN OF NAMELEss.

Mr.. J. r. Shepard, a prominent citi-
zen of Nameless, Laurens county, Ga,
was in the city yesterday on business,
and while here told how his town got
its queer name.
after the postoffice authorities at
Washington decided to give us post
Office said Mr.. Shepard, 'fthe ques
ton of naming it arose. I had inter-
ested myself in getting the Office, and.
therefore, it was by common consent
left to me to suggest a name to the
authorities. Accordingly, I sent on a
name that 1 thought was a beauty,
and while awaiting a reply [ pictured
how some day that same name would
be known all over the country and
that the town would grow and bloom
as the rose, for believe that There is
much in name. Finally the answer
came back that while the name / had
suggested was a good one, it was too
similar to another postoffice in Geor-
gia. Then I put my brain to work on
another name. I just knew they would
accept it, but the same answer came
back as before. Still another and an
other name was sent, and each time
the authorities would write back that
there was either another postoffice in
the state by that name or that it was
so much like some other name that if
it was adopted there would be confu-
sion in the mails. AT last I sat down
and wrote out list of several hum
dred names, and told them if they
could not find one in the list to suit
them the Office would remain nameless,
for l had suggested every name I had
ever heard of. In due time the answer
came back, Let it remain NameIess,'
and ever since then it has had that
Ill
such a bad name, after all."-Macon

Southern States Excursion.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 9.-The Chicago
Southern States association excursion
came into Nashville an hour and a
half to five hours late, owing to slight
accidents to some of the locomotives.

booming of cannon and after a hur-
ried breakfast they were escorted to
the theatre Vendome, where only the
ceremonious part of the programme
permitted by rainy weather, was car
ried out. Governor Turney was i'll at
his home at Winchester, and the well
coming address was delivered by En-
nest Pillow. speaker OF the state SEN

EXECUTION OF AN ELEPHANT.

In circuses. when an elephant gets
ugly and kills keeper, he is never safe
again, and the manager is generally
compelled to eventually pass the death
sentence. Barnum, on several occa-
sions, had to get rid of ugly custom
ers. One named Albert was particu-
larly vicious; he had manned. one
keeper and killed the next one with
out any provocation. He was sentenced
to die. The militia were called in; a
chalk mark was made just over the
soft temporal bone and one just back
of the shoulder. Half the men were
ordered to fire at one mark and half
at the other.
Poor Albert understood perfectly
what was going to happen and begged
piteously for his life, great tears of
anguish rolling down his cheeks. His
anguish so disturbed the men that only
four shots took effect, but these were
fatal.-New York Mail and Express.

VIEWED IN DENVER.
President jeffrey on the Utah-CaIi-
forum Rate Situation.

lhere has been no move announced at
this point yet by railroads regarding the
stand taken by San Francisco merchants
relative to Utah and Colorado business
A telegram explaining the situation
published in yesterday mornings news
papers stated that among other Col
orado lines the Denver d Rio Grande
was interested. President jeffrey said
iast night that he knew nothing at all
OF the fight, if one existed, and could
not tell what attitude his line would as
sumo I'M the premises. The situation is
that one Mr.. Curtis has Just been ap-
pointed manager of the San Francisco
Merchants Traffic association. In his
anxiety to make a favorable impression
upon the merchants who have to- sub
scribe his salary, Mr.. Curtis has de-
manded of California lines that rates
De reduced SO as to enable San Fran
cisco manufacturers and merchants to
seI goods in Utah and as far as Col
orado The California lines did not rel
ISL this sort of thing and suggested that
instead of asking them to reduce rates.
Mr.. Curtis asked eastern lines running
to Colorado and Utah to raise their
rates. This would be in a case of not
exactly letting California in, but shut
ting eastern people out, relatively the
same thing so far as an equalization
of things would go. The EASTERN lines
did not take kindly to the enterprising
new manager of the long named asso-
citation and declined to consider his over
lures. Then Mr.. Curtis took a tack. He
set about inducing Californians to de-
clare a boycott on eastern lines running
into Colorado and Utah which would
refuse to raise rates. The lines to be
SO brought under the lash would be the
Union Pacific, Burlington Rock Island
Missouri Pacific Colorado Midland, Den
Yer & Rio Grande and the Rio Grande
Western
The California lines have not reduced
their rates. the eastern lines have not
raised theirs NOR has the boycott been
declared. Freight men here say Colo
rado manufacturers would be materially
aided by the Curtis plan, but the mer-
chants would be injured.-Denver Re

Ill next Wednesday. The first thing to
come up for consideration today was the
dispute of the Utah and Missouri River
business, to which the Union Pacific and
the Rio Grande Western were parties.
Inc matter was finally adjusted by some
concession of ticket restrictions made
oy the Union Pacific, which will do
away with any chance to scalp the bust

PREyAR1CAT1oN BY FIGURES.

President Andrews of Brown univer-
sity has contributed to the North
American Review an article entitled
'.Are There Too Many of Us?" Per
sonally, l should answer with an I'M
hesitating Yes" especially after bank
holidays. He proves by a series of
elaborate and convincing calculations
that if the word started with a pop
ulation of two the increase in 5000
years would have become two quin-
tillion human beings, viz, to every
square yard, 1888 1-3 persons. Or the
earth would be covered with men in
columns OF 1913 1-3 each, standing on

each others heads. If they averaged
five feet tall. each column would be
4,166 % feet high"
All this sounds stupendous. To my
non-mathematical mind the only infer
ence to be drawn from the professor S
calculation appears to be that the world
is not much more than thirty years
old, or, let US say thirty and third.
In another ten years or so L suppose
we shall have to start to work on the
columns. Personally, l am quite will
ing to let S32 of my friends get into po-
sition first l can then climb up and
complete the column. How the frac-
tional third is to be made up [ know
not, unless-happy thought-there is to
be an extra allowance of three tailors
to every column.-Punch.

COAST DEFENSE.
Necessity For Some Action is De-
taiIed By General Miles.

td1led BY General Miles.
NEW YORK, Nov. "a special to
the Herald from Washington says: An
important exposition Of the defense
less position of the coasts of the United
States is made by Major General Mel
son A. Miles, commanding the army,
in his annual report to the secretary
of war;
The report is the first that General
Miles has submitted in his capacity of
major general commanding the army
and considerable space is given up to
the necessity of taking some steps to
protect the seacoaSt.
1t is has been estimated that to for
tify all our coasts would cost in the
neighborhood of $125, O0O,0 00 To put
the Pacific coast in a proper condition
of defense would require in the neigh
borhood of 375 modern guns and NOR
tars with their proper carriages and
munitions. 1t has also been estimated
that their cost would be something
like $31, 100000. General Miles has rec
commended in the past that $3.50, 600 be
appropriated to perfect titles to STRAIT
egic points necessary to be occupied
for the defense of the Pacific coast
that $1,000 600 be appropriated for the
esta Adjustment of a plant to be construc-
ted under the direction of a board of
officers of the army and navy to be or
dered by the president for the con-
struction Of effective guns and war
materials for both army and navy on
the western coast. and that S25, 000, 600
or such portion of it as could be util-
lied in four years, be authorized to be
expended for the construction Of the
most approved and effective guns and
war materials as will be required on
that coast. 1t is believed that General
Miles makes recommendations of a
somewhat similar character in his an
nual report. He has also urged the ap-
preparation of large sum for the cree
ton of Notifications for the protection
of the Atlantic coast. Suggestions are
also made with reference to the great
lakes

A Big Advantage.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-"The northern
districts of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, -
said Superintendent Jackson, of the
railway mail service, will soon have
the advantage of direct mail service
on the Erie Railroad from New York
to Chicago. Five mail cars are now
being constructed at Springfield
Mass. and they will be finished very
soon. There is now a mail service on
the Erie railroad but it is purely To-
cal. These new cars will be used for
the through trip. They will supply the
towns along the Erie railroad in north
ern Ohio. Indiana and Illinois more di-
rectly than they have received their
mails hitherto, and will make a con-
tinuous run from Chicago to New
York.

GOOD SHORT STORIES.

The late Dean Stanley used to relate
that a gentleman once called to tell
him that he had been into the abbey
and had knelt down to pray, when the
verger had come up to him and fold
him he must not kneel there. ON
asking why not the verger said:
why. sir. if l was once to allow II
we should have them praying all over
the place"
This recalls the gentleman visiting
church and asking the sexton whether
people ever used it for private prayer.
to which he replied: I ketch'd two OF
'em at it once"
During the war, while in command of
division of Confederates, the late
General Malone was slightly wounded.
An acquaintance about to visit Rich
mond was requested to call upon Mrs
Malone to relieve her anxiety by ex-
planning the nature of her husbands
injury. He found her in tears, having
been acquainted already by telegraph
with the news.
"Why, madam" he expostulated.
you ought not to give yourself so
much concern; your husband received
only flesh wound; no bones were in
jured."
General Malone was very small and
very lean.
'sAh, colonel" she sobbed. ''you-
don't know the general as we'll as /
I do or you wouldn't tell meme he
could be-be wounded without striking
a boner'
When Hans Won Bulow went to Eng
land for the first time on a concert
tour he was much surprised to find
that the custom of the country made
his dress suit inappropriate at after
noon concerts, where he was expected
to appear in frock coat with light
trousers. Soon after his return from
his tour a young pianist called on him
to get his advice and opinion in regard
to comprehensive piano-forte method
which he had just published under
the title of "rIndispensable du
Pianiste'
"Ah! my dear young friend" cried
the great musician, with a whimsical
smile, you are far behind the times.
You ought to travel and enlarge your
mind; then you will find out that the
pianist's only indispensable is a pair
of light trousersl''
