Whereabouts of the Dauntle.s.

The Three Friends, which was seized
Saturday night by the revenue cutter
Boutwell,, under orders from Washington
came Up to Jacksonville, Fla, Sunday
morning. The general charge is a viola
ton Of the neutrality laws, but a specific
charge has not been made so that it is not
known why the boat was seized. 1t has
been reported that when the Dauntless left
Fernandina Saturday it took on filibus-
tering expedition off Cumberland sound
but this is also unfounded ,as the Dauntless
proceeded directly to Brunswick, where it
now is.

called attention to the cases Of diphtheria
IN the Peabody School. He said he thought
the association should pay some attention

but they thought the entire building should
be fumigated and put in good condition.
President Tucker said he regarded it as
very important matter. and intended call
Ing the attention of the association to it.
He had heard of mothers of the school
children being very much alarmed, and he
thought something should be done to allay
this fear. He thought the members of the
school and sanitary committees should

Mr.. Colvin said he thought the health
officer would criticise what the association

Sixty years ago ourgood old friend and worthy citizen, Mir. E. H. Col houer, saw the light of day in the State of Georgia; yet, notwithstsnd- ing the many summers and winters that he has seen come and go; the tolls and privations that he endured while fighting gallantly for the Lost Cause, and the many knocks and buffets received during long life of usefulness, he is, we are pleased to say, man full of vigor and energy, and he says he has the feeling that he will live to be an hundred.

 But the Chinese boy knows nothing of marbles, baseball, tennis, shinney, stilts, skating or sliding. He does, how ever, have few games of his own, SC simple that American boys would hardly find amusement i'll them. He likes to toss pennies, and he has modified form of the game of battledore and shuttlecook, only for the battledore he uses his heels, and you may imagine how he is compelled to dance around to keep the shuttleoock in air. Chinese boys are great runners and jumpers, and they also like to put on big scare masks and frighten the little girls, the enjoy ment of which some of our boys may appreciate Another sport is tip cat, and there is also a game of ball. The ball is made by winding string around bunch of snakeskin, and the boys con- test to see which can make it bound the greatest number of times.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
CHINESE BOYS AT PLAY.

They Have Some Sports, but Are Not So
 Free as American Boys.
 Although the boys who live straight under us on the other side of the world are very prim and proper when among older folk, they are just like other boys when they get out in the back yard by themselves. In fact, they are all the more playful for being under restraint part of the time.
 A Chinese boy is surrounded by end. less rules. He must never walk in front, or at the side of his father, or his uncle, or his older brother. He must follow them in order to show his respect. He is not allowed to contradict his parents, nor find fault when whipped, even if the whipping is unjust And every where he must be silent and respectful, not speaking unless spoken to. nor sit- ting down in the house unless asked to do so.
 But in spite of all these things the Chinese boy has good deal of fun. Every one in China except the women and girls plays with kites, and the Chi nese boy is no exception. Like our boys, if he can fly paper dragon that is handsomer than the paper dragon of the boy in the next block he IS extremely happy. Fighting with kites is also great sport among Chinese boys.

THE cHANcERY COURT.
Judge Robluson Delivered an Opinion in
 Two Cases This Morning

Today Chancellor Robinson de- eided the two following civil cases in his court:
 Honnet & Veil vs. the widow and heirs of Willoughby Williams, Jr. This was a case wherein the plain tiffs sought to foreclose a mortgage executed to them by the widow. The decree of the court was that the widow had no power to exec 1te the mortgage, but a decree was given for the debt.
 The second suit was one where in Chas. Veil, ex parte, sought confirmation of title to four lots in Coekrill's addition to the city Elk captions were filed and the court sustained the exceptions.

Four Handed Nut Gntherers.

Good luck to you. said the rosy little sehoolma am one Friday, smiling at group of boys and girls from the red schoolhouse, as they were planning to go on nutting frolic the next day. Take care of yourselves and don't hurt the trees, for the poor things cannot de fend themselves, and have no fou1 handed friends to help them, like some other trees know of. ?
 Then the children crowded around her to hear more, and she told them of the graceful Brazilian trees from which come the queer, three sided, hard shelled nuts called Brazil mats. These grow packed many together. the sharp edge inward, almost like the parts of an orange, and each cluster iscovered with a hard woody shell. making a ball half as large as man $ head.
 If monkeys happen to be in Brazil nut tree, and you throw something uI to knock down the fruit, those fou1 handed little fellows will defend the tree in very lively fashion by pelting you with the hard, heavy globes, so that you will be glad to get out of the way. Knowing this habit of the monkeys, the Indians save themselves the trouble of climbing the trees when they wish to gather the fruit, In the nut harvest time they just provoke the monkeys to throw down the nuts, and when the shower is over all they have to do is to carry the prizes to their boats and drift with them down the Orinoco river to market. brooklyn Citizen

Attorneys who have bad crimina

Attorneys who have bad criminal cases now fight shy of Warner. and are very much opposed to having the cases ot their clients sent to the Circuit Court at that place on a change of venue. This is probably due to the fact that the juries of that court are rather inclined to give full justice, rather than to candone the offences and crimes of criminals.

woMEN,s COATS

WOMEN'S (OAlS
Something perfectly natural
is, going to happen. Women's
Goats have come to us at ri
diculous prices recently -
eleven hundred garments since
Friday-simply because the
weather has been too warm to
make the producers trade
lively. Now, then, when real
coat-wearing weather comes it
is likely to find the markets
short OF stock, and then, in
the hurry and rush, prices will
naturally advance.
That hint is profitable to
you if you are guided by it.
The Goats we are selling
at IS, $3.50, $40, $Ia and SIS
are sold at a money-loss to
some one. The gain is yours
IF you come while any Of the
