The Pensacola Gla) Daily News SAYS:
1t is a conceded fact that arrange
ments are rapidly maturing to extend
the Central of Georgia road from Searight
in the direction of Mobile This is a fnan-
clal necessity, as the Central must have
an outlet to one or more of the cities
on the gulf coast, and in order TO do so
she must extend the Mobile and Girard d.
vision. BY going south via Brewton, Pol
lard, or Flomaton, she can arrange TO
reach Pensacola and Mobile which will
put her on nghting ground with the Louis
vile and Nashville and Alabama Midland
ana the design Of the Central people is
10 cross the Conecuh river and take the
ridge dividing Conecuh and Yellow rivers
thuS centering for sixteen miles the finest
yeIoW pine, agricultural and horticultu-
raj districts in the SOUTH and a section
more favorable for railroad building than
any IN the southland. The plum hangs
out TO Andalusia people, will they pluck
IL, or forever let II slip them? If our peo-
pie VIII go to work and interview the Cen
tral people arrangements can be effected
by which the road will come to Anda-
lusia In the very near future. The only
bonus demanded is $4,000, which is indeed
very liberal on the part of
the Central. 1t 3 remains to he
seen If Andalusia really wants
the road, or have they only been casing?
Let the real estate owners take the lead
call a meeting at once and put the wheel
to turning, and then all push. and the

phenomenon is not clearly explained,
either in the books OF meteorology or

Lord Raleigh says that the delusion
of water appearing in mirages on hot,
sandy plains is due ito the fact that the
undisturbed strata of air near the
earth is highly rarified. A ray of light
falling very obliquely upon this strata,
and being totally reflected. reaches the
eye of the observer just as IL would IL

The phenomenon is, strictly speaking,
one of refraction rather than reflection
Now, just as the glass lens forms an
image on the screen. so the crystalline
lens of'the eye forms an image on the
retina or sensitive back part of the eye.
This retina image is inverted, as all
retina images are. and being projected
to another strata of rarified air above,
has the effect of making the delusion
perfect. Rayleigh further says that
there has been much unnecessary spec
ulation in connection with the theory
of inverted retina images, the mystery
being that we do mot see all things in
verted.
The truth of the matter is-now look
for something you never saw in a book
we do not see the retina image at
all, we only feel ii. If we could see the
image on the eye of some one else we
would certainly see 1t inverted.

Like young Lochlnvar. Lawrence
DAILY came out of the West. The big
and boundless West, with its untold
millions Of undeveloped resources. its

where money grows on bushes and
everybody expects to be rich some day.
Mr.. DAILY brought a breezy assurance

town he had $3.50 of local money wadd-

ly in his sleeve. This is the story OF
a man with a ripe Imagination,
ready tongue and letter of introduce

AS stated before. Mr.. Daily came to
town Friday He engaged the best
rooms at the Coates house and then
went out to look the city DER. In the
evening he took n reporter into his
confidence by telling that he was an
authorized agent of the Rothschilds
syndicate and that he was going To
visit the gold fields of Cripple Creek

money is as common as want In the

a good talker
Last Saturday Mr.. DAILY called upon
w. ID. Charde. secretary of the board
of trade, and of the Kansas City Min
ing exchange. accompanied by a citi-
zen of this city whose name has
slipped from the memory OF MIR.
Charde MIR. DAILY was introduced 70
Mr.. Charde and presented a letter OF
introduction that had first been pre-
scented to w. B. Root. president of the
Denver mining exchange, and which
had been indorsed TO Mr.. Charde. This
is a copy of the cumulative letter OF
introduction:
Denver Col-Friend Root This will
/ introduce to you Mr. Lawrence DAILY
of Anaconda, Mont. Any courtesies
+ give him Will be heartily appreciated
Mr. DAILY is of the famous mining
! family of that name. Yours truly,

introduction to YOU. Hoping you may
be able to assist him. am, yours
truly. VIM. b. Root,
President c. NJ. a Ex."
Mr.. DAILY had an interesting CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Charde and incidental
~ observed that he was a brother OF
Marcus DAILY. the Butte. Mont, mine
owner and wealthy gentleman. He ex-
posed n certificate OF stock of 1875
shares in the Fuller Mining company
Of Spokane city. Wash, which COM
pany. he said. was capitalized for
81 900. coo. There were $4,000 outstand-
ing shares of this stock, he said, which
the Rothschilds syndicate, which he
represented. wished to get hold Of Mt.
DAILY also remarked that the stock at
par value was worth 81, but recent
discoveries in the company's proper
ties had raised IL to $l.70. According
10 his estimate, this certificate OF stock
was worth $17. 200.
When Mr.. Daily left the Board of
Trade building he left some doubt be-
hind I'm the mind of MIR. Charde, who
believed him to be an imposter from
the fact that when the Rothschilds
move they do not herald II with
brass band OF full Instrumentation.
Secretary Charde. soon after the visit
OF the man To his office. noticed that
there was a discrepancy in the spelling
of the name given by him and that OF
the millionaire copper mine owner.
Marcus DAILY The visitors name was
spelled in one of the letters of recon-
mendation. Daily. This was one OF
the circumstances which caused Mr..
Charde 20 suspect that the man was
not what he claimed to be.
During his travels around the city,
Mr.. Daily made the acquaintance OF
John II McEwen. manager OF the
Southwestern Dispatch with office in
room 6iO. New York Life building. At
one time Mr. McIwen was traffic
manager for the Reid Bros Packing
company. Daily cultivated the ac-
quaintance OF Mr.. McEwen and yes
terday noon took him with party OF
new found friends to lunch at the
Coates. After lunch Mr.. DAILY got Mr..
McEwen to indorse a draft on Hoge.
Daily * Co. bankers, Anaconda, Mont.
for $500. The draft was paid at the
Metropolitan bank on the strength
/ of Mr. McEwen's signature.
In the meantime Mr.. Charde put in a
4 busy day yesterday. He had thought
over the appearance I'm the city OF Mr.

OF his pretensions. He sent this tele-
