THREE DAYS OF SPORT.
The Oakcs Harvest Carnival
furnishes amusement for
Hundreds.

1t is with feeling of relief that
our citizens witnessed the termlna-
ton of the Harvest Carnival last
night for it has been a week OF
great deal of work and anxiety for
everyone. 1t is no small undertak-
ing for small city to take caro- of
and furnish good time TO such
crowds as we're drawn to witness our
three days of sports but we think it
is conceded by everyone that Oakes
performed this difficult task in
highly creditable manner.
The weather was everything that
could be desired and everyone SEEM
cd to enjoy himself. There was the
usual number of fake games which
IS usually found around fair but
close watch was kept upon them and
no wholesale robbery was permitted.
An honest effort was made to car
ry out the program just as advertised
and It was no fault of the manage
ment tina. some Of the attractions
were missing. A good sized band of
Indians came up from the reserva-
ton as they agreed to do and were
here all day Tuesday but Tuesday
night something happened to dis
please them and in the morning they
we're gone. This was a great disap.
pointment aud undoubtedly served
to keep many away the following
days. The failure of the Edgely
base ball nine to put in appearance
was also great disappointment, but

so happened that no regular troupe

USES TX RAY~ ON AN lNDIAN.

Right Tackle Of Carlisle FoOtba1I
Eleven Examined for Injuries.
Martin Wheelock, right tackle of the
Carlisle football eleven, big Indian,
six feet high, became acquainted with
the latest acquisition to the white mans
science, the X-ray, in the ]. Hood
Wright memorial hospital at New York
city.
During the game with Brown, Whee-
lock had plunged headIong into mass
play directed against Elm. He tried to
rise, but his right shoulder prevented.
It Was decided to try the X-ray on
Wheelock, to see the exact injury done
to his shoulder.
Whee1ock was deeply interested in the
performance The bones in his hand
were shown him, and he was delighted.
Then the ray was turned on his injured
shoulder, and it was plainly seen he had
suffered a fracture. The physicians de-
cIared that the man was the finest spec
linen of humanity they had ever seen.
The hospital authorities believe that
Wheelock will be able to play again dur
ing the present season.

resides at 1879 Baker Street.
He has been actively engaged in the gro.

of which forty-two years have been in Detroit.
Coming here nearly half century ago he
started into business at the corner of Second
and Jefferson Avenues, and for years catered
to the marine trade. From Duluth to Buff

supply man was we'll known to all boatmen.
No matter what time of day or night, the
Monahan Marine Grocery was kept open for
the convenience of the lake boats. He is
the best known and Oldest retail grocery
dealer in Detroit. He has been successful
in business by his square dealings, and is yet
to be found behind the counter any day at
his large store, corner of Twelfth and Baker
Streets. To reporter, he recently said:
"When we first opened the Jefferson Avenue

right off and we had to jump all the time.
The reason vesselmen patronized us, was be-

St. Louis Man Turning to Chalk Talks
of His Inffrmity.


Frank Ritter, the St. Louis saloon
keeper who is turning into chalk, doesn't

and Ritter laughed at his own joke.
Yes, If these pieces of chalk were
taken from my hand now and exposed

your name on blackboard. What
brought it? don't know. The doctors
don't know, and I guess it doesn't make
much difference anyway. Inever think
about it. have got plenty Of friends,

NAY LOSE CHILD WIFE.
Gen. Clay Now Alone in His Ken
lucky Mansion.
Young Mrs. Cassius Nj. Clay Goes 10
Home of Her Brother on a visit
and May Forget to
Return.

Gen. Cassius Marcelius Clay's young
wife left the Clay mansion, Whitehall,
ten days ago and went to the home of
her brother, "Clell" Richardson, at Val
ley View, KY, ten miles away, on the
Kentucky river.
"Clell" worked for Gen. Clay several
years and was his overseer when the
general married the little 14-year-old
Dora two years ago. He acted as one of
the generals guards during the time
the old man kept his place under mar
tial law when he was getting married,
but he and Clay did not get along well
together and six months ago "Clell"
left and went back to his former home
at Valley View.
The child wife seemed well content
ed as long as her brother and his fam
lily lived ON the place, but since then
has shown signs of being displeased
with her peculiar life, and the neigh
bors were not at all surprised when she
left home two weeks ago and went to
her brothers.
She had not quarreled with Gen. Clay
when she left, but said she wished to
pay her brother visit. The general
has always tried to crafty her every
wish and so told her she could go. She
is staying longer, however, than he ex-
pected, and those who have been to his
house say he is uneasy lest she should
not return.
Dora has grown into a strong woman
and weighs more than 14O pounds. She
is good looking and will soon be II years
old. Her distinguished husband is Just
70 years her senior. No heir has come
to bless their union, much to the dis
appointment of the venerable husband.
It is limited that Dora had met and be-
come infatuated with a young man.
from Valley View, but this cannot be
verified, and is probably the idle story
of gossips.
Gen. Clay has provided every comfort
for his young wife. He buys the most
expensive clothing for her, has her
dresses made by an experienced dress
maker, has carefully looked after her
education, both In the English branches
and in music, and has been more like
father to her than husband. She is
an excellent cook, and the general never
tires in extolling her ability to prepare
tempting meal.
. On the other hand, she has been de-
voted to him and takes great pride in
to his wants. With her own
hands she cooks every morsel of food he
eats and anticipates his slightest wish.

easy reach.
Whitehall was a happy horne until
Dora's brother Teft the place, and the
general is seriously considering bring
ing him back. tits believed by his most
intimate friends that should the gen.
eral do this his child wife would gladly
return and take up again the strange /.
life she has been leading for the past
two years.

Queer Predicament Of a College Foot
ball Eleven in the East.
A dispatch from Wilmington, Del,
says: The athletic department of Del
aware college is confronted by an un-
happy alternative. It longs to have the
college eleven stay in the field and
strive for football honors, but in view
of the fact that every player on the team
is suffering either from broken leg,
toe, nose or collar bone, it cannot see
how it can do so. Therefore it has wise
1y, but reluctantly, decided to disband
the football team and has cancelled aln
games that it has ahead.
Five of the players are so badly in
cured about the legs, shoulders and face
that they will hove to wear splints and
use canes and crutches for several
weeks. The athletic department at tie
college will have the appearance at q
hospital until after Christmas.

JOKE ON AN IMMORTAL.

Anato1e Frances Astronomical BEun-
der in a Recent Novel.
One of the immortals, Anatole France,
has furnished amusement for the lit
erary world of Paris. There is little
doubt that NJ. France is not skilled in
the science Of the stars, else he would
not have committed the laughable blum
der that appears in his latest novel, lie
Mannaquin d'Osier."
In this volume he describes one of the
principal characters as indicating to an
other on night in May the constella-
ton Gemini. It is pointed out that
this constellation at the hour M. France
mentions, between II o'clock and mid
night, at that time of the year is very
near or below the horizon. So much for
an academician who would touch upon
ASTRONOMY.
