Animated Difficulty That Occurred
in the Turf Exchange.

An animated difficulty between two
sporting men well known in Savannah
took place in ODelrs Turf Exchange yes
terday afternoon. There had been prior
difficulty and exchange of compliments
and when the two men met these compli-
mentary illusions to each other were re-
newed.
The wordy battle soon developed into a
physical encounter. From the accounts or
the witnesses and the statements of the
parties there but "a few blows were struck
one OF the participants getting the worst

said, both of the parties armed themselves
and prepared for more deadly work should
they come together again. The remon-
strances of their friends prevented re-

The division is being uniformed with all
possible dispatch and the esprit du corps,

lor Ihnt purpose.
Mr.. ]. p. Williams went up to Atlanta
last night for the purpose of appearing
before the Railroad Committee of the SEN
ate in opposition to the Bower bill giving
to tram roads the right 10 cross the lines
of chartered railroads. Mr.. Williams be-
heves that such law would be prejudi-
cial to the interests of the chartered roads
and that it would discourage railroad
building in the state.
Mr.. Williams is president of the Georgia
Pine Railway, whose headquarters are at
cambridge, Decatur county and Mr. Bow

so there may be more behind the bill than
appears on the surface.

Stage Censorship.
From the Chicago News.


No play may be publicly performed in
England until 1t has been passed upon and
agreed to by the stage censor. A certificate
must be secured from the lord chamber
lain, who Is an official not TO be confused
with the hereditary great chamberlain Of
England. He has nothing to do with the
great offices by which England's laws are
made and executed, and he is accountable
only to the queen. who rarely NEEDLES in
such matters. The lord chamberlain him
self does not. Of course, read all the plays
submitted to him. but the work Is passed on
to the examiner Of plays, who is not al
ways a man of education or discretion and
who In many cases has been suspected of
letting things pass because managers have
made it profitable to him to close his eyes
to supposed faults.
In addition to various methods he has of
securing unto himself salary he is allow
ed the sum of so for each play which he
examines. This means much in England, for
the English stage right is lost if a play
be presented first in America. Thus au-
thors who have written plays which they
do not expect to give to the English pub
lie Immediately, have to arrange a copy
right performance and at each the examin-
er makes his little levy.
The story is told Of one of these exam
liners who was moved to strike out drunk
as a lord" In one of the plays submitted to
him. There used to be an old rule that the
word heaven" should be substituted in
stage lines wherever the name of any of
the persons of the Trinity came up. So
this clever examiner changed the line to
read ''as drunk as heaven"
The penalty for disobeying the examiner
Is fine of $3.50, which may be levied on
any person connected with the forbidden
performance-call boy as well as star.

colleges OF Masatepe and Leon. In 81 he

Antigua and from which he took his de-

judge of Totonicapan and two months later!
was transferred to Quezatenango as judge
of appeals. and remained there until 20
when he returned to Nicaragua. During his
residence in Guatemala, in addition to his
duties as judge, he held the chair of inter-
national law in the Law School of the Oc,
cident and was professor of philosophy
and history a the National Institution Of
Varones for Young and women. In
connection vita this work he wrote several
treatises on law and philosophy which have
since been introduced as text books in these
colleges. Upon his return to Nicaragua he
was appointed secretary of legation of the
United States of Central America at WASH

known in society here and last winter won !

as a palmist although the senior himself

Crocodile Against Alligator.

From the Detroit Journal.
It is claimed, and on good authority that
the alligator is a better warrior than the
crocodile. A demonstration Of the fact was
witnessed about year ago on one of the
Islands of the keys. The battle was brutal,
but thrilling and dramatic. The ''Conchs''
had captured a 1S1a-foot crocodile, and is
sued a challenge against any gator in the
universe" The challenge was accepted by
hunter who is known to hundreds of
tourists by the sobriquet of Alligator joe"
The alligator produced for the fight meas

than the crocodile. but could turn himself
much quicker. (The peculiar stiffness of
the crocodile is caused by small ribs at
crocodile was long and sinuous, and had
much larger tuSkS. The upper Jaw of the
alligator was immovable, while that of the
crocodile was exactly opposite. This was
the greatest point of difference.
The fight began. Excitement was at FEVER
heat, the two monster reptiles roaring, bel
lowing, flashing their tails and swapping
their huge jaws. Like trained pugilists.
they maneuvered until they each got a jaw
hold; then, like wrestlers. they clinched.
rose upright, parted and clashed again.
During the rallies their great tails hurled
tremendous blows, the crocodile lacking tha
force of his antagonist. The horrible spec
tacle was nearing it's end Clashing to-
gether again. they locked, jaw in Jaw, roll
ing over and over again until the lower
jaw of the crocodile broke into fragments
of ivory and bone. The ground was COW
cred with gore, but the battle was ended.
The alligator was the victor. With its hor-
rors this public exhibition between two
natural enemies was but an instance Of
many similar fights unseen and unrecordeo
