Where He Was Born.

Speaking Of word pictures, here is
one Of 1.-The Watanga river region" of
Tennessee, by Hon. Landon c. Haynes,
IL native.
More provoked than complimented
at banquet by disparaging refer
ence to the place of his birth, his out
burst may not be literally accurate in
figure and phrase, but that it is elo-
quent none will gainsay:

HOME FROM LONG JOURNEY
John Gilman Makes Successful Finish
OF One of His $4,000 Mile Trips.

John Gilman of this city comes very
near holding the record as the great
American traveller. He has just re-
turned to his home in this city from a
trip which began the Goth Of August
last and ended Wednesday noon. Mr..
Gilman is land agent for the Union Pa
cific and other railroads in the west,
and his business keeps him on the move
most of the time.
He went from here to Niagara Falls,
visiting the orchards and vineyards on
Lakes Erie and Ontario, and thence to
Denver and to the top of Pixies Peak,
which he assembled on pass, being the
only one in his party to secure this
compliment from the Cogwheel railroad
management. He put in some time look
ing over the fruit orchards in the
southern and western parts of Colorado,
and mentions with special enthusiasm
visit he paid to Rockefeller's famous
fruit farm at Canyon City, which is
probably the largest in the world
While he was there he saw 11,000 bar
rels of apples hanging on the trees.
These apples are somewhat similar in
shape and appearance to our Baldwins,
but they are not nearly so good in quail
ity. They are called the Ben Davis ap-
pie, and are very hardy and most
prolific.
At Grand Junction, Mr. Gilman saw
10000 acres in peach trees. He consid-
ers the valley about Grand Junction,
which is just the other side Of the
Rocky mountains, as the greatest peach
producing valley in the world. 1t also
abounds in grapes and pears.
On reaching Salt Lake our traveller
m n
the hills, 100 miles to the southwest, and
he had much to say to his interviewer
Of the valuable output of the big gold
mines in this region, which pay divid-
ends of about $4,000 a month, and is
valued at 10000, 900 cash. Mr.. Gilman
has little town of his own named af-
ter him up in Idaho, and he next went
there, taking back with him to Omaha
some cattle. Then he doubled back to
Portland, Ore, and Spokane, Seattle
and Tacoma. Just for side trip he
took jaunt back to Nashville, Tenn,
to attend a cattle show, and then re-
turned to Spokane, stopping at the min
ing camps at Butte and at Helena,
Mont He came back again to Chicago,
and then started north to visit the
farming country up in Winnipeg. From
there he went through the rich copper
region in the northern part Of Michigan.
Space is lacking to describe fully Mr.,
Gilman's wander1ngs, but they in
cluded a visit to New Orleans, and the
big sugar plantations Of Louisiana, to
st. Paul, Mimi, to attend an agricultur-
al meeting, to Sioux Falls, and back
home through Chicago, Cleveland and
Buffalo. He is still sanguine of making
a success of the great project of which
he was full when he last appeared IN
the Spy Office for an interview, of get
IN fro i'm Of eVh hints of western
cattle and products, a sort of travelling
agricultural fair on wheels and says he
would have carried it out last year but
for the hard times. He is intensely
sanguine of the future of the west, and
SAYS things never looked so bright fol
the western farmers and cattle raisers
as they do at the present time.

though the Card Clothing Company had
their goods ready for shipment, they
We're not sent.
Johnson g. Bassett were notified that
the proposed wooden business would not
be carried out, and ordered the ma
chinery shipped back TO Worcester. The
firm had accepted check from Cradle
for 5000, as guarantee, in case Of an
emergency of this sort, which is making
considerable trouble.
Johnson & Bassett gave 1t to their
counsel, George s. Taft, for collection,
and he deposited 1t with his own ac-
count in the Quinsigamond Nationel
Bank to collect. The check was filled in
on blank of Philadelphia bank, and
was apparently drawn on that bank.
subsequently developments proved that
under the boldly printed bank name
was written In a very fine handwriting
the name, First Bank Of Edgemont,
South Dakota" The Quinsigamond
Bank had sent it to their Boston corre-
spondent for collection, and the Boston
bank finally discovered that the Phil
adelphia bank was not the institution
drawn upon, but that they must look
to the First Bank of Edgemont" for
collection.
The check was sent to Edgemont, but
was lost in the mail. Subsequent de-
velopments showed that the First Bank
Of Edgemont and Francis G. Cradle
were one. Cradle was notified, but re-
fused to give duplicate check. He
wrote, asking If eastern funds would do
as we'll, but nothing has been heard
from him since.
The question now arises as to who
shall stand the loss of $780, johnson &
Bassett and Mr.. Taft claim that the To-
cal bank did not give them notice of the
failure to collect the amount of the
check, which had been placed to Mr..
Tafts account, and then checked off
against him.

BEFRIENDED BY AN ALLIGATOR.
(From the Chicago News.)

Wlllam simpson, VINO hVeS at Fine cas-
tie, Fla. near Lake Marie, has a small
boy named Rob, who tanned an alligator
and loved him as dearly as IL he had been
a goat. The gator was called Pete, and
proudly sported a copper ring in his head,
as civilized gator who knows tricks
should.
One day Pete disappeared and he stayed
away for three years. In the meantime
Robert received many spankings because
he was continually playing with alhga-
tors and getting all sorts OF scratches and
bites in consequence.
Now comes the queer part of the story,
that recalls the interpositicn OF fairy god
mothers. Rob was making overtures to a
big alligator one day, and the saurian
came at him with his large, open counte-
nance, and the little boy began to say his
prayers
Just in the nick of time another gator
appeared and the first gator had fight
on his hands. When the fight was over
Rob discovered that his alligator ally was
the long-lost Pete, grown, indeed, but still
wearing his stamped copper ring. This
time Pete stayed, and people go for miles
to see the youngster ride about ON his
back,

Francis C. Cradle, to whom Cashier
Quinlan of the Chemical Bank of New
York loaned so much of the banks

Cradle came 10 Worcester and placed

ohinery to operate a wooden mill in
Edgemont, S. D. He also contracted

ONLY BALL PLAYERS ON BOARD.
From the Pacific Commercial Adver>
tiser)

During the night of the terrible hur-
ricane in the harbor of Apia Samoa,
Lieut.. Carlin was the executive officer
of the Vandalia. In shipping the crew
at Mare Island he had given preference
in the selection of sailors to those who
were base ball players, as he was an
enthusiast of the game. While in this
port on a previous voyage, his base ball
team of the ships men had been decid-
eddy beaten by the Honolulu team, and
he determined to meet it again with a
better set of men. The Vandalia, how
ever, left this port for Samoa. After the
vessel struck the reef, and the men
were clinging to the rigging, and the
surf was making clean sweep over the
deck, and many of the men had been
washed overheard, Lieut.. Carlin deter
mined to make desperate attempt to
carry line from one part of the yes
sci to the main yard. He shouted out
in the bowling wind:
81 want some volunteers; good sail
ors"
A voice out of the dark tempest re-
piled: Lieutenant, there amt no sail
ors here; but plenty of base ball play
ers."

Among the latest to join in the appar-
ent conspiracy against Ten Eyck is DR..
Mcdowell, the American who, with Ten
Eyck, competed at Henley last summer.
In a recent interview, Mcdowell is re-
ported as follows:
ri really do not know what action has
been taken in England in regard to Ten
Eyck, and but very little about him OF
my own personal knowledge. AS much
as we have rowed around each other
we have never met. l am a strong be-
lever in purity in amateur ranks, and
think that the line between amateur
and professional oarsmen should be
strictly drawn. Therefore, if I knew
anything against Ten Eyck 1 would
hasten to prefer charges. I know that
the attitude of the English sportsmen
last year was very hostile, and do not
think Ten Eyck would have been per-
mitted to row but for me, although I
understand Ten Eyck said that 1 was
hostile toward him. The committee
and the newspapers waited on me with
inquiries about Ten Eyck, but knowing
nothing I spoke in his favor. After the
race their treatment was bad toward
the young man, and they were sorry
they permitted him to enter. Indeed,
had they treated me with the GOODNESS
they offered him / do not think should
HAVE GldILt0 dS oll lit lntl WIFI ulllG
or no courtesy From hearsay, and let
tiers from other oarsmen, I am of the
idea that he will be barred in this
country.
II know a strong protest was made
against him last fall in Philadelphia al
though he was permitted to start
Other protests kept him from competing
at Boston on Labor day. If the charges
made can be substantiated. he will be
forced into the professional ranks. 1t
had been my idea that he intended all
the time to become professional Much
of the antagonism visited upon the
young man in England last year came
from the English oarsmen's experience
with his father whose racing in Eng
land was severely criticised. under
stand from letters that Ten Eyck has
been charged with receiving $3.50 for APP
<pearing in a trial heat before his race
with Whitehead at Boston in 1896, and
there have been other charges ore
ferred. Whatever else they may say
concerning Ten Eyck, they can say
nothing against his sculling. He is a
marvel and shows the excellent train
ing of a lifetime Of rowing under his
father"
If Mcdowell is quoted correctly above.
he has made many misstatements or in
former interviews was misquoted. One
of his first statements that he has never
met Ten Eyck, is untrue, as are also
the statements that Ten Eyck was
barred from competing at Philadelphia
and Boston on his return from England.
In fact, no protests have ever been
lodged against Ten Eyck in this coun-
try. His statement about the money
received for a trial before the White
head race is too devoid Of reason to
need comment
Ten Eycl< will commence training on
the Schuyll1ill river as soon as the
weather will permit; and it is safe to
say his entry for the diamond sculls in
the Henley regatta of '9S will be for
warded in season.
