SEEKS HIS DEAD MASTER.
An Atlanta Policeman Relates n Re
markable and Pathetic Incident


markabie and Pathetic Incident,
From the Atlanta Constitution
Policeman Sheppard related a remarka-
BILE and most pathetic story last night, enc
which, strange as it is, Is absolutely true.
There used to be a notorious negro In
Atlanta" said he. 'by the name Of John
Malachi. John was well known in police
circles, but he rarely ever went SO far as
TO be arrested. He was an outcaSt and
could always be found about the low dives
and dens. He had one true friend, a small
dog. Wherever the negro went that dog
was always with him. Often I have seen
that dog and remarked that Malachi wasn't
far off, and sure enough the negro would
soon come into sight. The dog, so far as
his breed was concerned, was about az
worthless as his master. I don't know
which was the better known, John Malachi
or the dog.
well. few months ago John moved to
Macon. where he led about the same sort
of life he led mere. He died in Macon
about month ago. and was buried there
at the expense of the city. l suppose.
When I heard Of the negro's death l i'm
mediately wondered where the dog was
ard what he would do without his master
you suppose he was doing? He was going
up and down Decatur street, searching in
the saloons and the negro dives for the
only person who had ever cared for him.
watched the dog for quite a while and 1
saw him go in and out of the places which
were once frequented by Malachi. He
moved along in fast trot. holding his
head down. 1 followed him as he went
into restaurant. He trotted into the open
door, stood still when on the inside while
he gazed about at the men and women
assembled there, and then he turned and
trotted out. This was repeated at a num-
Der of places.
THAT little dog, tired of looking for his
master in Macon, had come all the way tc
Atlanta, a distance of 1903 miles, to look for
his master. 1 felt like taking the poor
dog home and called him to me- But
he merely stopped moment, looked sadly
at me and went on with his search"
A number of policemen saw the dog after
ward on Decatur street, and they corrobo-
rated the story related by Policeman Shep-
pard.

The Vast PrepOndernnce of British
Built Tonnage.

RON the Engineering Magazine.
1 have used the word native" in refer
ring to foreign-owned tonnage. but the
term must be qualified. In eight years
builders in Britain have constructed for
foreign owners vessels aggregating nearly
/, 10000 tons-an average Of 200, 600 tons
per anrum. This includes warships; but, If
we consider only merchantmen, we find
that the average is now more than 10000
tons. while ten years ago it was about
$1,000 tons, and forty years ago only %, GOO
tens. An examination of the fleets of for
eign POWERS, indeed, shows the prepond-
GRANGE of British-huilt tonnage. Including
only vessels of 1909 tons and upward.
find that in the present German mercantile
fleet there are $40 British built Ships. in
that of France, 234; Norway, 217: Spain.

greater proportion of this foreign tonnage
comes from the Clyde district, whose re-
pute Is undoubtedly high: but in this re.
srect, 1 fancy. 1t does not by any means
so far out-distance the other districts as
formerly. This is in some measure que to
the wider distribution OF Clyde-trained men,

old colleagues at Fairfield and Ciydebank
row occupying positions of high respon-
sibility in many of the other ship-building
centers on the northeast coast of England
and at Belfast. but it opens up too great a
vista. Moreover, the standard will of neces-
sity Improve.
