Look Out for the Dog.

Keep an eye out for dogs. There is
risk not worth taking in riding by a
canine who manifests symptoms of ugli-
ness, but it is a rare dog that will do
more than express mild disapprovaf If
you do him the favor of dismountins
and walking past his domain. Never
kick at the dog while you are in the
saddle. for, when you do that, the
chances are all in favor of the dog
Never run away from the dog, for the
dog likes the flavor of towards and gov
erns himself accordingly. If you can
possibly avoid it, do not shoot the dog,
for, although he may have a misguided
idea of his duty, he Is considerably more
than half human and there are those
who by reason of his death will be
called to mourn the loss of a faithful
friend.-American Cyclist

MRS. IAVINE AND DAUGHTER.
CENTRAL FIGURES IN A FAMI-
LY DIFFICULTY.
Mother Not Allowed to See Her
Own-The Davenports Stand
Off Two Men.

For number of years Miss Jennie
Lavine has lived with the family of
F. T. Davenport at 2310 NJ street. Miss
Lavine's mother who resides at Oak
Park, on Tuesday evening complained
to Chief of Police Drew that she had
been refused admittance to the Daven-
her daughter and that G. Davenport, a
son of T. T. Davenport, had threat
ened to slap her unless she left telling
her that her daughter Jennie had no
wish or inclination to see her.
To Chief Drew Mrs Lavine said she
believed that her daughter was re-
strained from seeing her, but as it
transpired that the young lady is of
age, the Chief refused to interfere.
Last evening a telephony message
was received at police headquarters to
the effect that something out of the
usual was in progress at the Daven-
port residence, and officer Higgins was
sent out with the patrol wagon to in
vestigate. When he arrived, however,
everything was quiet, but George
Davenport accompanied him to the sta
ton.
Davenport related that William Ro-
chon, Mrs. Lavine's brother, and man
named Aiken had gone to the Daven-
port residence and inquired if Jennie
was at home. Young Davenport re-
piled that she was, and they expressed
a desire to see her Mr.. Davenport.
according to his statement, told them
that the young woman did not desire
to see them, whereupon, he said, both
drew pistols and said they would see
her, or somebody would get hurt.
Davenport stated that when the pis-
tolls came to light he sprang back in
side, and closed the door, and as he
did SO one of the men fired a shot up
over the house, and that then they
walked around the house for about half
an hour and tried to get into the barn.
Davenport wanted to swear out a
warrant for the arrest of Rouchon and
warrent for the arrest of Rochon and
not at his office he was told to come
this morning, which he promised to do.
Officer Hardy was detailed to accom-
pany the young man to his home, with
instructions to quell any further dis
turbance that might arise.

in any degree 1t was not free to renuer
any other. The matter is made perlectly
clear, without the need OF argument by
a single suggestion. II the Confederate
States had prevailed in the war their no
litical relations TO the United States would
not have been in the least chanBed ny
the advent of peace. Their government
could not have been more independent
of the Federal Government after the
declaration of peace than 1t was through
out the war. They would simply nave
continued in peace the relationship they
had asserted and sustained in war since
1861. This being true, 1t Is certainly
remarkable view of the conditions then
existing to be expressed by the educa-
tional head of one of the Confederate
States and accepted without challenge
by the Legislature and press OF the state,
that it was merely in a condition of being
"cut off" temporarily from the benefits
of Federal legislation because of IA
civil war" that was raging In the IN
terval.
civil war; is defined by Stormonth
to be "a war between parties OF the IN
habitants of the same country we
do not think that DIR. Boggs, or any other
public or representative man in Georgia.
would concede for an instant that the
people Of the Confederate States were
merely "a party of the inhabitants" of the
United States from 1861 to 1865. "Coun-
try" in the sense in which Stormonth
uses the term. does not mean common ter
ritory, but a territory under common
government. civil war in such coun-
try Is a war between parties OF the
inhabitants for the control of the govern
ment. The people Of the Confederate
States did not fight to obtain control of
the United States Government, but to
assert and establish their absolute indie
pendence of that government, to provide
their own government for their own
country" They failed in the endeavor,
after nearly accomplishing It,, but their
failure did not change the character and
purpose of their great struggle in any
way. 1t was not a rebellion" because
the people who waged 1t were their own
and only sovereign rulers. 1t was not
a civil war" because it was waged be-
tween people of two well-defined and
separate countries, fighting under sepa-
rate governments. 1t was war for

and il behooves all southern authorities,
teachers, and writers, at least. to call 1t
by it's right name on all occasions. The
cause for which we fought so long and
so well was too important to allow us

light many wonderful things in connec-
tion with the mysterious action OF cleo
tricity in passing through the air and III
the rarified spaces that exist between Us
and the SUM- which are ordinarily called
a vacuum. and have been supposed TO
be n non-conductor of electricity.
The machine constructed by Professor
Trowbridge for the working out Of these
wonders has been exhibited TO a select
few at Harvard College. and will in
time. when Professor Trowbridge has
completed the series of experiments upon
which he is now working. be exhibited to
the scientific world. AS matter of fact,
the apparatus is very great extension
Of a form devised more than twenty
years ago by Plaute, who invented the
storage battery. There were many de-
fects about the machine of Plaute. how
ever which had TO be remedied before
perfect apparatus, such as was neces-
sary to aid Professor Trowbridge in his
plans. could be constructed. Professor
Trowbridge made up his mind on what
lines to work in constructing his electrl-
cal machine, and then gave the plans
into the hands of Mr.. George Thompson,
the mechanician of the Jefferson Physical
Laboratory. Mr.. Thompson devoted all
his energies to the construction OF the
apparatus. and, With frequent consulta-
tions between himself and Professor
Trowbridge, the machine gradually grew
TO completion.
1t consists essentially Of sixty plates
of glass. coated on each side with tim
foil These plates Of glass are charged
with electricity by means OF 1000 storage
cells. The most ingenious part of the
whole scheme is the manner in which
these cells are discharged. After many
failures a mechanical contrivance was
constructed that enabled the cells to be
discharged one after the other, thus dis
rupting the atmosphere with cumula-
tive force of electricity that pierced
through all resisting forces. The great ef-
ficieucy Of this apparatus, and its SUI
periority over those hitherto used for
X-ray experiments is shown by the fact
that the vacuum glasses have been
pierced by the fash from the Trowbridge
machine after resisting the discharge or
the electric spark from other apparatus
for SO long as to convince scientists that
q vacuum in the path of an electric spark
would compel II to turn aside from its
course
BY means of this apparatus two or
three horse power can produce enects
which would require thirty or forty
horse power 10 produce by transformers.
for no coils or iron cones are used in the
Trowbridge mechanism, and no energy is,
therefore. lost in magnetizing such iron
cones or in overcoming the resistance Of
wire coils.
