WHERE'S CRUsOE,s IsLE2
English Expedition Going Ont to Find
1t in the Atlantic.
Mem TorI. Press


1t in the Atlantic.
Neto York Press
We have had in the past five years a
recrudescence OF Columbus. Napoleon and
things Napoleouic; now, 1t appears, there
may be an iuflictioD OF Robinson Crusoe.
A learned society OF London, England,
has come to the conclusion that readers
of De Foes charming fiction have all been
misled as to the island on which their hero
waslanded when lie experienced shipwreck.
1t has been hitherto assumed, much to
De Foes discredit, the lie stole Tor ''appro-
priated') tue story OF one Alexander
Seikirk, who passed several years on the.
island Of Juan Fernandez, In the Pacific
Ocean. But members of this society declare
they have discovered that the novelist did
not steal his narrative at all; and, moreover,
that tile island where the original Rob-
inson was wrecked lies, not in the Pacific,
but in the Atlantic. They are going to
send out an expedition next winter, as
soon as the siCkiy season closes, to ascertain
beyond all peradveuture just where this
island is located.
In the interest of all true narratives tof
fiction) and for the benefit of all lovers Of
Crusoe, 1t is to be hoped that their mission
will be success.
The true island, they say, is situated
somewhere off the north coast of South
America, not far distant from the mouth
of the Orinoco: for Crusoe himself VS. in his
journal that the last recorded observation,
taken just before his shipwreck, was In
latitude II degrees north, between the
islands of Barbados and Trinidad.

Louisville papers on the U Brien- Rogers

Minneapolis club OF the Western League
in 1894 and cost the Washington manage
ment $500. Rogers was drafted from the
Providence club OF the Eastern League I'D
1898 and cost Mr.. Wagner 5000. In the
trade with Louisville bonus OF SIGoo
was paid for O'Brien, which makes the
latter stand Mr.. Wagner 81 600 in money.
In view OF the fact that leading critics
say that O'Brien Is the best second base
man in the League except Chlids, ana belnS
Younger than Cupid gives more promise.
il were not idle 10 say that Mr. Wagner
could sh his man at any time Ior oO yer

Could Louisville get any amount IKE that
for Rogers and Crooks together? And
leaving out Rogers, could McGunnlgie

The fact is Earl Wagner comes as near

4 800 smoleons. But as to LOUISVILLE

Atlanta C,uh Give. It Tn

Atlanta. Ga, July 12.-The Alta nta Ba Sc
ball Club, of the Southern League, has
gone by the board. The managing director
declined to pay off Saturday night and
notified the players that the club would
drop out of the league and quit. The men
suit against the director of the club.
President Powers has not been notified
of the break. The directors decline to
talk for publication, but it is generally
known that the step has been contempla ted
since the Birminghams dropped out. The
Atlanta Club has not been money maker
this year, but SO far the owners Save
played the string about even, and except
for the salaries now due, are not out
much, if anything.

GOES TO PETERSBURG.
johnnie Handiboe, the Popular Player
of the Sham rocks

JOhnnie HandfbOe, the Popular Player
of the Sham rocks.
Johnnie Handiboe, the wellknown and
popular young ball player, has accepted
terms with the Petersburgs, OF the Virginia
State Lea que, and left last night to join the
club.
He will probably be paired with Norcum,
as they are familiar with each other as a
battery, having worked very successfully
together as members OF the crack Sham
rocks OF this city. Johnnie is a natural
ball player, and ir given a fair showing and
thorough trial is sure to rise high in the pro-
fessiOn.
His multitude OF friends in Washington
wish him the best OF luck and will watch his
work with the keenest interest. 1t Is
quite compliment to the Shamrocks that
-wo of their players have been drafted by
League club. NOrcum has already
proved q success with Petersburg, and 1t is
safe to say that Handiboe will do equallyas
well In his position.

narrow, selfish and partisan in their

The party bug is more dangerous

herein lies the real obstl uction to ear

wiees5 for the Democrats to pat up
Watson electors in the Stat. still, on
the other hand, the Populists cannot
afford to reject a proposition to
cast the electoral vote of North
Carolina for the Vice President, as
a majority of the silver voters shall,
by ballot, direct; an extra ballot
box may be prepared for the silver
voters, by which they shall express
their choice On the day of election.
Real silver men are easily satisfied by

Santiago is the ancient capital of
Cuba. 1t stands Oh sloping ground at the
head of magnificent land locked har-
Dor, and all around, in an amphitheater,
are mountains and forests-a lovely
place, but a fatal one for the Spanish
soldiers. The town itself is a whited
sepulcher. The streets are narrow, and
the place filthy beyond all words; the
heat is only varied by tropical showers,
which fail every afternoon through the
summer and autumn months-rain 80
heavy that in a very few minutes the
streets sloping down to the bay are like
muddy mountain streams, carrying with
them all kinds of refuse and rubbish,
Everywhere the yellow fever is abroad.
but it is particularly deadly among the
Spanish troops. How many die is never
made known; the dead are carried away
and buried by night, and in one hospital
hole was cut in the wall facing the
burial ground, that the soldiers outside
might not see the nightly professions.
The Spanish soldiers stalk about the
streets in their dirty white linen uni
forms and big straw hats. locking pale
and thin; they are badly fed, and suffer
every kind of privation. Boys for the
most part under 20, they are unaccus-
toned to the climate, and by exposure
are made unfit to battle with it. Con-
temporary Review.
