1t PIeases the south.

The United States battleship Ala
bama, now building at Cramps, will be
launched next summer. She is number
ed ON Cramps books, it is noted, as
1890" which was the builders num-
Der of the famous Confederate cruiser.
The duplication of the number can
hardly be accidental, but it will serve
to make the new ship still more inter
esting in southern eyes. She will be the
flower of the navy for us, of course, and
always will be especially welcome in
southern ports. charleston News and

High Balls In Demand.

Scotch whisky keeps on booming.
There are 1853 distilleries at work in
Scotland that find it difficult to keep up
with orders, and more government in
spectors are called for. The output last
year was 80, 500, 900 gallons, an in
crease of 30 per cent over the year be-
fore. There are 77,000,000 gallons
stored away maturing. The increase in
Irish whisky last year was 13 and that

The Cavendish expedition, which is

in incarnation for the expedition. Al
though nominally private, its aims are
ON the upper Nile, where the French are
sunposed to be operating, and are well
known to high government officials. AS
a matter of fact, the route adopted was
suggested by the chiefs OF the intelll-
oence department of the war office, and
the foreign office had the scheme uhuer
consideration for some weeks.
The force which will accompany Mr.
Cavendish will be better equipped than

A Cornell Professor Says but small Far'
of 1t Does the Thinking.
A Cornell professor makes an interest
ing announcement about brains. Inc
main portion of the human brain Is COM
posed of the cerebrum, and the portion
anterior to it, devoted to SMELL ana
known as the olfactory bulbs, is some-
times treated as mere appendix to the

But this professor, after comparing
brains from all grades of lower animals,
declares that the human brain is an
anatomical monstrosity, and that, in
historical view of the brain, the portion
devoted to thinking is more properly to
be styled a mere appendix to the part
devoted to sme l.ng. In some creatures

MONEY GONE.
Pick Pockets Ply Their Business
IndustriOusly.
John Manning Pleads Guilty to Petty
Larceny and Gets Off With
Light Sentence.

Pick pockets have reaped con-
siderable harvest from the crowds
who have attended the street fair.
Edna A. Barlow, who resides at No.
52S Walnut street, lost an open faced
gold watch. She reported her loss to
the police at 500 o'clockT Thursday eve
ming, but did not know how long the
watch had been gone. She carried 1t
in her belt.
Mrs. Adam LortZ. Of Decoria, con-
tributed pocket book containing
$3.50 to the light fingered gentry. Her
loss occurred at about two o'clock or
shortly before, Thursday afternoon.
Another lady who was standing in
the same crowd felt some ones hand
in her pocket, but when she made q
motion to seize it, the hand was with
drawn and the man disappeared be-
fore she could cause him to be cap
tured. The thief did not have time
to get her pocketbook.
A lady whose name we did not
learn was robbed of her pocket book,
containing 81, Thursday afternoon
Chief Wagon gave special instruc-
items Friday to the :police and
specials to stay near crowds and OBJ
serve suspicious appearing individ-
uals and those who crowded in among
the ladies.
John Manning, the pick pocket
who was neatly captured by Mrs.
Pearson Thursday afternoon, was az
raigned before Judge Shissler Friday
morning. County Attorney Hughes
concluded to reduce the charged from
grand larceny in the second degree to
petit larceny, and Manning pleaded
guilty to this charge. Judge Shissler
sentenced Manning to pay a fine OF
$25 and costs or serve seventy days in
the county jail. 1t was thought that
the prisoners family or friends would
pay his fine, but he elected to go to
Jail. The court admonished him Of
the evil of bis ways.
The reason why the charge was
moderated was that Manning con.
tossed his guilt on partial promise
of leniency, and because it might
have been difficult to convict him on
the greater charge without the con-
fession. Manning does not look like a
criminal, and it is not thought that
he has long followed the business at
which he was caught.
At about 2:3O pm. Friday, while the
sports were in progress, G. Wilkinson,
a farmer, was relieved of his pocket
book, containing $11.50. This hap
pened in the crowd watching the
sports, and was at once reported to
the police. The supposed pick pocket
is described as being tall and slim
and wearing silk plug hat.
