personal examinations and giving the
personal supervision to the operations
in the field which I feel to be neces-
sary. I am so dull that in making use
of the eyes of others I am frequently
misled. Everything, therefore, points
to the advantages to be derived from
a new commander, and l the more
anxiously urge the matter upon your
Excellency from my belief that a
younger and ADLER man than myself
can readily be obtained. I know that
he will have as gallant and brave an
army as ever existed to second his
efforts, and it would be the happiest
day Of my life to see at its head a
worthy leader-one that would accom-
plish more than I could perform and
all that I have wished. I hope your
Excellency will attribute my request
to the true reason, the desire to serve
my country, and to do all in my power
in insuring the success Of herrighteous
cause.

Married her FOR her Money.

GADsDEN, Ala, July 17.-Last Mon
day Miss Fannie Broughton and Charles
Mayfield were married in the lower end
of this county. The lady is possessed of
a considerable fortune in the way ofprop-
erty, and it is we'll known here.
After the ceremony the couple, started
to Birmingham for q bridal tour, Mrs.
May6eld gave her husband $576 when
they left here. Reaching Birmingham
they put up at a hotel. After supperM Mr..
Mayfeld told his wife that he was going
to q drug store as he YVES unWell. That
was the last seen of him up to last night.
Mrs. Meyfield informed the Birmingham
police of her husbands disappearance
and they made a rigid search for him.
This afternoon she returned home, be-
lieviDg that her husband had been foully
dealt with. There is strong suspicion,
however, that Mayfield skipped with his
BRIDES money. Telegraphic inquiries
to-day fail to bring any encouraging news.
The unfortunate bride is Frustrated with
grief.

The JokeuWent into the Record.

"Now, your Honor" argued the at
torney in the Court Of Justice Brown,
of Santa Rosa, II move dismissal Of
this case on the ground thatthe corpus
deficit has not been established.
Judge Brown rubbed his chin in o
perplezed way, fixed his gaze on the
ceiling for a moment, and then clear
ing his throat, "Of course, it is an
old principle Of law that the probater
must correspond with the alligator,
and ia this case I I'M of the belief
that the corpus is all right, but l
don't know about the delicti."
"Your Honor, I want that to go
into the record" demanded the oppo-
sing counsel, II want the record to
show that your Honor said the corpus
is all right, but you do not know
about the deficit"
Judge Brown realized that he had
blundered and sat staring at the attor-
ney for o moment. Then, pulling
himself together, he said: "All right,
let that go into the record, but you
fellows know DANCED we'll I was only
joking when I said it, and that will go
into the record, too.''-San francisco

American Bikes in Germany.

Charles Dekay, American consul
general at Berlin, in report to the
state department, calls attention to the
fact that German bicycle makers are
deeply concerned at the now very large
and growing competition of American
machines.
The league of industrials at BOchum,
an important manufacturing center,
has taken up the matter, aud in a me-
mortal to the German government calls
attention to the fact that this great in
dustry is in imminent peril owing to the
rivalry of American bicycle manufac-
turers They complain that the United
wheels of about S14 Is, while the Ger
man duty being only S5.11. or 100 kilo-
grams, only from II to 90 cents duty
ia Is on the American wheel. On these
and other grounds the aid of the Ger
man government is asked in behalf of
the home industry.
The consul general says it is not be-
cause the American wheels are OF for
eign make that they sell so rapidly in
Germany, out because they are the
strongest, lightest, soundest and most
elegant in shape. They have quite
taken the field, he says, from Belgian,
Austrian and British wheels He also
expresses the opinion that large con-
ces sious could be made with safety to
the Germans in the way of lower duties
on German made wheels, because the
German public is now so well convinced
that the superiority of the American
wheel will continue to hold the market
so long as this high standard is main
tanned.
Consul Monahau at Chemnitz, Saxo-
ny, in report TO the state department,
also calls attention to the effort that is
being made by German bicycle makers
in that province to secure higher duties
on American wheels. To this end the
Bund of German industries have petit
toned the foreign Office on the subject,
asking for immediate relief from the
threatened danger.
