PAPER SAILS ron YACHTS.
They Are Cheaper Than Canvas aud
just ns UntcRrabIc.

From the Chattanooga Tradesman.
Not only are paper sails now produc-
ed at a lower cost than those OF canvas,
but. owing to a special treatment, they are
said to be as soft, flexible and untearable
as those of which they are proposed to
take the place. To the paper pulp used in
this case there is added fat solution Of
alkah silicate, glue alum and potassium
blchromate. and from this. by means of a
paper-making machine a fairly thick pa
per is produced. Two strips OF this are
pasted together; by passing these under
considerable pressure through rollers, a
very thin and soft sheet of paper Is form
ed; this is passed through a weak solution
OF sulphuric acid, which has the effect of
converting the upper surface into a spec
les of MISUNDERSTANDING with a solution
Of soda, drying and glazing following.
Care Is taken to leave the edges free
when the strips of paper are fastend to-
gether, so that other strips may be added
at the sides, thus forming sufficient
breadth Of sails; to fasteu the strips to-
gether a paste Is used. which contains the
same ingredients of those added to the
paper pulp, while by inserting cords on the
side the edging of the sail is formed. I'm
fortunately, no account is vouchsafed of
the practical working of such "sails'' when
utilized for their purpose.

Chattanooga.
Chattanooga, Tenn. April u.-John Y.
Atkinson, the 17-year-old son of Gov. W.
Y. Atkinson of Georgia, was married to-
day to Miss Ada Byrd, the 16-year-ol3
daughter of C. P Byrd of Atlanta, Ca
the Rev. Henry Mcdonald, pastor of the
Second Baptist church of Atlanta, otficl-
ating. There were present TO witness the
ceremony Gov. Atkinson, Mr. and Mrs
Byrd the father and mother; Judge Speu-
Ger Atkinson of the Georgia supreme
court, and Charles p. Northen, assistant
clerk of the Georgia Senate.
The trouble in securing the necessary
license was overcome this morning. when
Mr.. Byrd notified the county clerk that
his daughter had his consent to her mar
riage, the law of Tennessee requiring the
consent of both parents to the marriage
of either party if they be under II years
of age. The youthful couple left on the
afternoon train for Nashville, where they
will spend their honeymoon
GOV. Atkinson was seen by a reporter,
and, speaking of his sons marriage,
said: "All is well that ends well. Many
people have married younger than they,
and have been happy, and l expect they
will be. We win do all in our power to
assist them.
Mr.. Byrd said when approached on the
subject: I'VE have done what we deemed
best under the circumstances. We only
objected on account of their extreme
youthfulness. -

Distribution OF RELIEF.

The Subsistence 20 he Given out
Where the Recipients Live.
Washington, April 11.-Secretary Alger
to-day adopted a suggestion received In a
telegram from Lieut.. Rowan of the Nine
teenth Infantry, now at Memphis, in
charge of one of the relief districts in the
inundated country. recommending that
subsistence be given to those who are in
need in their own districts, instead of
permitting them TO congregate in the large
districts to receive aid. He advises this
method of giving rations for the reason
that as soon as the waters subside the
labor of the refugees viii be required for
repairing levees, whereas II they were
away from their own district it might be
difficult TO assemble them again for such
work as is necessary to be done.

GiOni A4ipbliNOiA y
Since the beginning men have delighted
I'm the food provided for them by the mol
usks, and the shel-heaps which formed
icaces remain until now In all regions OF
the world where nature has produced crea-
lures of the genus Mollusca.
OF all species Of the mOllusks, the oys-
ter has been and Is the favorite. OF these
nature has been so marvelously prolific
in their development that they are to be
found in abundance in nearly all seas.
And the oyster-rocks have yielded a good.
ly proportion Of the food Of savage and
civilized men In all ages, along the shores
of their nativity.
To-day the oyster interest is one OF the
most important Industries; IT gives en-
ployment TO thousands OF persons, and
millions of dollars of capital are invested
therein. There is a constaetly growing
demand for them. at present much in ex-
cess OF their natural productive power;
so that the increase OF the oyster sup
ply is one of the practical questions OF
the time BY the application OF modern
methods the oyster grounds are made 10
yield far beyond the natural supply; and
by proper care they can be made 20 pro-
duce an almost unlimited quantity.
In early days oysters were TO be found
In lavish abundance along all our coasts.
Nearly all the creeks and inlets along the
sea coast Of New York state abounded
with fine quality OF oysters In Nieuw
Amsterdam in 1921, very large oisters'
were so common that a market could not
be found for them, as any one could sup
ply himself from the beds. In 1871 Ar.
noldus Montanus and in 1851 Sir George
Calvert, reported that the new settlements
had among other advantages oysters a
foot long in great plenty.

A DisgruntIed Preacher Says They
Bow to the Liquor Element.

Bow to the Liquor Element.
Oneonta, N. Y, April III. c. Hogan
of Scranton, Pa, who. for the past two
years, has refused to take his appointment
in the wyoming conference, of which he
was a member claiming that he was be-
ing discriminated against because he was
a prohibitionist, and who withdrew there
from on Friday last, addressed a big crowd
at the Metropolitan theater to-day. His
first criticism was that the conference
failed to make public his reasons for
withdrawing, intimating that they were
afraid TO do so. He then proceeded to
read his reasons.
Among other things, he said: THE po-
sitton and reputation of a faithful preach
er of salvation and righteousness cannot
be safe in the keeping of wilfully sinful
and partisan bishops and presiding elders"
TIe alleged that the church was in COM
plicity with the liquor traffic, and that the
vast majority Of the bishops, pastors and
voting members of the Methodist Episco-
pal church cast their influence and ball
lots for the representatives of the liquor
traffic showing that they were hirelings,
and not shepherds.
lie said that the conference desired his
parchments. He wanted first to mark
them. He proceeded then to burn the
name of the bishops who ordained him
from the certificates, saying that he would
as soon have the signature Of the meanest
rumseller in the state attached to them.

sANGUILLY TALKS OF CUBA.
Thinks the Allen Resolution May
snve Rivera's Life.

Charlotte. N. c., April 11.-Gen. Julio
sanguilly. the American citizen recently
released from Cuban prison, who was
a passenger on the train wrecked near
here this morning, while waiting in Char
lotte for a northbound train, spoke of Gu
ban affairs.
He said he thought the Allen resolution
recently passed in the Senate protesting
against the shooting of Gen. Rivera the
captured Cuban commander. would prob
ably save the latters life as Spain hesl-
tated now to take any action that might
be construed by the United States gov
eminent as affording reason for the recOg-
milton of Cuban belligerency. He doesn't
think, however, that Cuba has much to
expect from the Mckinley administration.
Gen. sanguilly said that while confined
for two years in the cell of a Spanish
prison, he met with fair treatment. There
were $50 other Cuban prisoners in the
same building and there were daily exc
cutlons of these.
He did not make known his plans but Is
on his way to New York. accompanied by
his young son.

BRIBERY CHARGE 4 BOOMERANG
Fears That II May Induce Gold DEM
Ocrats to Aid Hunter.


Cincinnati, O.. April la special to the
Tribune, from Frankfort,
KY, says: This has been day of excite
ment in legislative circles, on account of
the charges of bribery made in the sena-
torial contest yesterday. Dr. Hunters
managers say tonight that the next few
days will lay bare plot to ruin him. and
that high and low politicians VIII go up
in the explosion. The story of Gaines is
almost unanimously discredited here. 1t
is believed by some that Gaines had sew
eral meetings with Wilson and Franks,
but sentiment is divided as to their mo-
tives Gaines friends admit he has ex-
plotted himself unenviably
DR. Hunter said to-day: Il am not ready
yet to say what my plans are in regard
to exposing the outrageous and infamous
assault on me- The matter, however, Is
full of unpleasant sensations for some
people yet to come.
LAS to Gaines, I say as 1 have to meet
an Immaculate God, 1 never saw him in
my life, and was never in his house,
A conservative man on the Blackburn
side said tonight: THE only effect Of the
bribery charges will be to solidify the Hun
ter forces What we have to fear now is
that the gold democrats will think it part
of a scheme of the Blackburn people to
prevent an election and that they Will in
directly aid Hunter by making quorem."
Frankfort, KY, April 1.-THE gold
democrats will assist in breaking a quo
rum tomorrow pending the action of the
grand jury in the charges of the attempt
ed bribery against Congressman John
n. Wilson, Hon. w. Godfrey Hunter, re-
publican nominee for senator, and others.
The general opinion here is that the grand
jury will not return any indictments
against the gentlemen accused of bribery.
To-morrow's session will be devoid of
interest Several republican members
have expressed their determination not
to vote for Hunter until the alleged
charges of bribery are cleared up. I'm
usual developments are looked for Tues
DAY or Wednesday.
