OF his operations in Raleigh. the
Presentation Of that city has the fol-
lowing to say:
The young man James c.. Langdon
has not yet been located, although the
officers are on the lookout for him at
several places.
1T will be remembered that Lang
don stopped at the Marlboro last week.
When he went to settle his bill he
presented TO Manager Cook a check for
5000, which was drawn on the Citizens
Eank. of Phila dclphia, In favor of
James G. Langdon, and signed by S.
Il. I,angdon, who Is we'll known in this
city. Langdon claimed to be the son
of Mr.. S. u. Langdon. Mr.. Cook re-
fused to cash The check.

Langdon about the matter and he re-
piled that he hadn't given any check
and knew nothing of party.
This looks bad for James G.. Lang

here about this young man. Two gem

How General Butler Got the Americ,

HOW General Butler Got the America.
One of General Buffers closest yachting
friends tells IN interesting story concern
ing the generals connection with the cot
ton claims which arose out Of the seizures
by the government during the late war
and were before the courts in Washington
a long time before the claimants were VIC
torious. This man, who has been in active
practice at the Suffolk bar many years and
got the story from General Buffers own
lips, says the general did not come into
possession Of the famous yacht America
by purchase, as generally supposed, but by
gift, in the following manner:
After the cotton claims had been pressed
unavailingly for some time the Hon. l.,
Q. G. Lamar, who was interested in them
and later was himself on the supreme
bench Of the United States, induced Cen
eral Butler to take up the case and press
it to a termination. Butler was finally
successful in his suit and received a check
for $2b, 900 from his gratiied clients. Mr..
Lamar also wrote him a letter in which he
stated that he and his friends understood
that the general was an enthusiastic yachts
man, and as they had come into possession
Of the old America after she had been
raised from the spot where she had been
sunk as q blockade runner during the war
they would be pleased If he would accept
her as a gift, showing their further appre-
citation of his efforts in their behalf. This
story, the writer's informant says, he be-
lieves to be entirely true. Boston Herald.

The Air In Mines,

A simple test for noxious gases in the
air Of mines Is explained by a writer in
The Colliery Guardian, England. For de-
tecting carbonic oxide, methane, etc., a
dilute solution Of potassium permanga-
nate, containing a little nitric acid, is found
highly efficient, the effect of such gases
being to decolorize the permanganate solu-
ton. The reaction goes on more rapidly
when the solution also contains silver nj
trate, one part of carbonic oxide to from
500 to 1000 parts of air decolorizing the
liquid In from l to "a hours. The reagent
consists of two or three grams of silver
nitrate crystals dissolved in one liter of
water; then for the potassium perman-
ganate solution one liter Of distilled water
boiled with a few drops Of pure nitric acid
free from hydrochloric acid, a little per-
manganate solution being added until the
liquid becomes rose colored, In order to
destroy any organic matter which may
have found access to the water, as dust,
etc. When cold, one gram Of potassium
permanganate crystals Is dissolved in the
water and 80 cubic centimeters Of nitric
acid added to it. In practice 30 cubic GEN.
timeters of tho first or silver nitrate solu.
ton, one of the perinanganate solution
and one of pure nitric acid arc mixed and
made up to 50 cubic centimeters with dis
titled water freed from organic matter.
The reagent Is to be used Immediately.

HIS FIRST APPEARANCE.

The Northern City Welcomes the PROG
porous southern Visitor.
He came into town this morning fresh
from Georgia. He smelled of magnolia
and live oak and sweetest summer He
vas long and fat, II peculiar combine
ton, but his i'll truth. He was light and
dark green in alternate stripes, the lcr-
that Of a baseball that has seen a sea
sons usage on the diamond.
The passersty looked at him and
smiled, and with his stripes twinkling
he seemed to smile back at them and
say, "See, | have come" and then the
stripes would stretch into a grin, posi-
bly, sarcastic. ...
Little boys looked at him in awe and
nudged each other and said, "Hully
gee!' or something else equally express
i've.
An old man going by remarked,
"Pretty early for you to arrive, but you
are looking WE'LL" whereat he simply
grinned the broader. A little black
newsboy, after inspecting him from all
sides, backed away to the curb and said
half to himself, "Dat AN de real sign
dat summer am came"
Beside him stood a MAJ in an apron,
