VIII Ride a Century II 1t
Takes Two Weeks.

Frank Aller, of Chicago, is a novice
on the wheel. After making tour of
the park system of the city nothing
would satisfy his ardor but member
ship in century club. His name was
proposed and in due course of time ac-
cepted. Frank was shortly afterward
provided with a printed list of the ex-
actions placed on the newly initiated.
One of these nearly gave him "header." !"
1t provided that all new members
should make a century within two
weeks after admission or forfeit their
standing in the organization. After
the first shock Frank decided that he
would endeavor to comply with the pro-
vision or fall manfully in one of the
bitches near Elgin. Acting on his de-
termination, Aller inserted the follow
ing personal in the club organ:
To Friends and Enemies, Greeting: This
Is to inform everyone concerned that have
left town to make a century. intend COW

be found on train. / will stick to the task

gret that I cannot say, with Gen. Grant
that will persevere in my attempt II II
takes all summer. The club only gives me
two weeks. FRANK ALLER
Friends Of the determined wheelman
say his journey will be for naught
While two weeks are allowed, accord
ing to the rules, during which to make
the century, further restriction Of IA
hours is placed on the rider. lie must
start and finish his task during the
shorter interval or be disqualified.

A SECOND MOON.
DR. GeorB Tval1emath, Astronomer of
Hamburg, Germany, Makes Re
| nIRrl<aBle Discovery.

DR.. Geor9 Wallemath, the astron-
bmer of Hamburg, Germany, has dis
covered a second moon, which revoSees
about the earth. In writing of his dis
lcOvery, he says:
There is a second moon revolving
around the earth. II is the most er-
ratio creature in the heavens, so far
hs we know. Sometimes it flares out
In sheet of fame that looks like a
drawn scimetcr. In moment it may
vanish, flashing its rays like search
light of into another part of distant
space. Again it may be seen in The day
kime-a small. black spot, crossing the
suns disk in the same way that the big
moon does at the time of an eclipse.
At the time OF it's greatest brilliancy it
has even been seen during daytime, a
small, white speck in the azure heav-
ems.
'I predict it will next be seen cross
ing the sun on the 3Oth of the coming
July.
II believe the so-called changes of
climate that come to certain parts OF
the eartf are due to its influence. Ii
seems to work In cycles of years-pro-
Iducing al one time a protracted series
of wet seasons, and following that a
series of dry seaaons.
"This new moon is probably the mys-
terious influence that has caused the va
triation of the big moon from its orbit,
q matter that has puzzled astronomers
for 20 centuries and upset their finest
calculations.
II first announced to the world the
existence OF this moon last january.
Ny prediction that it would cross the
sun on or about the Sd of February was
remarkably verified, for from the uni
verEity observatory of Gricfswold, near
the Baltic sea, came the news that il
WAS seen on February A."

JAW BONE FOR SAMPSON.
Tenncsscenns Send n Unique Present
to Commander of the North
Atlantic Squadron.

Admiral Sampson is destined to go
down in history as the modern proto-
type of his Scriptured ancestor, who
slew 1,OO0 men with the jaw bone of an
ass. Perhaps future historians will see
fit TO disregard the American admiral's
ancestry in this respect, but several
Tennesseeans have taken it upon them
selves to establish a lineage between
Admiral Sampson and the strong man
of ancient history.
Our Sampson will have the jaw bone,
but whether he will be able to create
as much havoc with it among the Span
iards of the Cape Verde fleet as his an
cestor did with a similar weapon among
his enemies thousands of years ago re-
mains to be seen. In any event, w. G.
Gillespie and l.. C. Leonard, of McNIinn-
Vile, Tenn, are morally certain the
American naval officer viii come pretty
near emulating the Samson of old,
more especially when he is "hoodooed"
by the jaw bone of mule which they
have sent TO Secretary Long for Ad-
mirnl Sampson. 1t is highly polished.
resembling ivory in hue, and with the
teeth Of the beast still attached, It is,
so far as known, counterpart of the
historical jaw bone mentioned in the
Scriptures. Its handle is ornamented
with silver In which respect ii differs
materially from old Samson's weapon,
but this is not calculated to throw any
discredit upon it's powers, should it
come in contact with the head of a
Spaniard. Mcssrs. Leonard and Gil
lespie send the following note with the
jaw bone:
while this weapon may be regarded
by you as obsolete, we trust that the
victory won by your illustrious ancestor
may inspire you to win a greater vic
tory, with the additional equipments
which you possess"
Secretary Long will forward the mas
cot to Admiral Sampson at the earliest
moment.

TO ESTABLISH HOSPITALS.
American Insurance Companies to
Care for Policy nolderp
During the War.

President Thomas H. Bowles, of the
National Association of Life Under
writer's, has issued letter to the pres
idents OF all the life insurance compa-
nies in the United States in regard to
the establishment of cooperative hos
pital service between the American life
insurance companies for the benefit Of
policy holders who are taking part in
the present conflict between the United
States and Spain. The letter in part is
as follows:
I'm the line of progress and scien tific
development, that has so marked the
history of the American life insurance
companies of to-day, it would appear
only natural and proper that the scope
of their usefulness should be extended
at this time in patriotic effort to give
care and protection to those of their
policy holders who may be called to
battle, in providing hospital service
for those who may become sick and
wounded. While the government will
provide such service, as far as possi-
bic, the insurance companies can offer
valuable aid in looking after those Of
their own holders. In the event of an
extended war in Cuba, it might be de-
cided to locate hospital at Key West
and one on the island of Cuba. Build
ings more or less suitable for this pur-
pose could be rented, and with slight
notifications be made available for the
sick. This hospital service could also
be made bureau for the companies in
preparing death-proof papers and pay
Ing claims, in all cases of death among
the policy holders-a convenience at
once for the companies and for the bene-
ficiaries of the insured"
The letter is for the purpose of bring.
ing attention of the various insurance
companies to the subject prior to u
meeting to be held in New York on q
later day, at which action will be taken
on the question.

FLOOD IN A BALLROOM.
Miniature Johnstown Freshet Sweeps
Through the WnldOrf-Astoria
Eotel-LIttlc Damage Done.

\ miniature Johnstown flood swept
through the big ballroom of the Wal
dorf-Astoria hotel just before midnight
the other night. The water filed the
room to a depth of four inches, and
poured in cataracts, flashing under the
electric lights, over the balcony and
down into the street below.
The flood was caused by the breaking
of a five-inch water main on the third
floor on the west side of the hotel, just
above the ballroom. Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Gebhard gave the alarm, They were
returning to the hotel, and were sur
prised to find themselves surrounded by
water. There was a swish of skirts,
a quick cry, mans usual exclamation.
The water swept into the ballroom,
pouring from the ceiling only five feet
from L. H. Blashfield's $4,000 painting,
"Music." 1t fell in torrents on the floor
and formed an exit by peculiar aptness
between Will II. Lows panels of "Amer-
lea and Spain" From there it fell two
stories to the balcony below, and then
in another leap made cascade to the
ground.
"Chappies" turned up their trousers
and agreed that it was "nawsty wet

were reflected in the crystal food on the
ballroom floor. 1t was sight worth
seeing, and, strange to say, not an ex
pensive performance, for the only thing
injured was piece of red velvet carpet
The paintings by a lucky chance es
capped all damage.

The lion and the Unicorn.

The lion and unicorn were adopted
as the supporters of the British king
dom in 1903, at the time of the union of
the crowns of England and Scotland,
under King James 1. Queen Elizabeth's
supporters were, on the right, lion
crowned, on the left red dragon. The
reason for the unicorn being substi-
tutedfor the dragon was because James
rs supporters, as king of Scotland,
were two unicorns.

SENSATIONS IN DANRURY.
Postoffice Money Order Clerk Arrested
 A Foreman Also Arrested

Danbury, Aug. S.-This city was treated to two sensations tonight when 1t was learned that Clifford A. Smith. money order clerk in the Danbury postoffice, had been arrested by United States Marshal Bishop on a charge al- leging embezzlement of money orders, and that George D. Burdick, a fore man in B. A. Mallory & Sons hat fac tory, had been arrested by United States Deputy Marshal Clarke for raising pension vouchers. Both men locked up in the county jail. Burdick will be given hearing before United States Commissioner Wright August 15 and Smiths hearing is assigned for August 12 Smith is the son of the as- sfstant postmaster, who has been in the office for the past quarter of a cen tury, is about thirty years of age, mar ried and one of the best known young men of the city. He is a prominent members of the Sons of Veterans as well as connected with several other organizations.
 Burdick. who is also married man and had been employed in a very good position. is claimed to have raised a government voucher of S2O. His father, a war veteran. died about eight years ago. after having pension claim pend- ing for upwards of twenty years. About si week ago, it is said. special pension agent waited upon MT. Burdick and told him that the pension had been granted, and that he was entitled to reimbursement for the funeral ex- penses It is alleged that one of the items in the undertaker's bill had been altered by some one, and it is alleged by Burdick, and the work was so crude that it was readily detected.

the outcoming Spaniards went on like clockwork, as, at Chattanooga every movement of that great battle was car ried out, although General Grant was neither at Missionary Ridge nor Look out Mountain.
 q can well understand why the friends of other officers should be so enthusiastic and earnest and I am giv- ing them the credit they so richly de- serve for their glorious work. l cannot conceive anybody so mean as to detract by single hair from their merit. But I cannot understand why such bitter feeling is manifested in many quarters toward Admiral Sampson When all these officers, subordinate to him, in their reports, clearly and cordially rec ognize the fact that, although at the beginning he was, by orders from Washington, going to confer with Gen. eral Shafter, yet the battle was fought under his orders and that the victory was the consummation of his thorough preparations. For myself l know no prediiection for any one of these gallant men. I would crown every one of them with laurels. I want them to have their just deserts. Everyone of them de- serves unstinted praise; not one of them deserves any less than a full measure for that days work, and there for l can think of nothing more cruel than a depreciation of the merit of the faithful, devoted, patriotic commander in-chief, physically frail, worn with sleepless vigil weighed with measure less responsibilities and details, letting no duty go undone; for weeks with ceaseless precautions, bloclading the Spanish squadron, at last crushing it under the fleet which composed his command, and now to be assailed as vindiotively as if he were an enemy. I am sure that no one deprecates such an attack more than the officers of the fleet, commodore, captains and all. Among them all is peace: Whatever disquiet there may be elsewhere, the navy is serene. l am reminded Of Mrs. Beecher Stowes beautiful verse:
 "Far, far beneath the noise of tempests

 And silver waves chime eyer peacefully; And no rude storm, how fierce so'er it

4 BOWEBY SALOON RATDED.
The Proprietor and Four Women Were
 Arrested Last Night.


 Sergeant Bowers and Patrolman Hayes last night made drop on the saloon run by Henry J. Reynolds at No. 35 George street, place which has been under police surveillance for two or three months. The persons living in that locality have frequently complain ed of the goings-on at the saloon and in the rear yard, and Captain Brewer finally detailed Sergeant Bowers to watch the place. Last night Bowers saw sufficient there to warrant him in raiding the saloon, and accordingly, with Patrolman Hayes, he did so They arrested the proprietor, Reynolds, on the charge of keeping a disorderly house, and four women, found in a room at the rear of the saloon, on the charge of street walking and disorderly conduct. The four women are Estella Thrash, alias Bancroft; Mary Condon, Mary Pearl and Annie Mccarthy, all but the first named having police rec ords.
 The locality in which the raided place Is situated is known as "The Bowery,'' and is considered by the police one of the toughest spots in the city. Respec- table citizens who live near the saloon raided last night tell of disgusting scenes enacted around the exterior of the place, and that disturbances of the peace are very common there.
