try.
Mistress of seven languages and many
accomplishments, patrician in bearing and
a friend of many famous men, it is not
remarkable that she should be entertained,
as she is, by many families of social i'm

Dolores Gonzalez is her real name. She
tells life history that is more like the
plot OF an Italian opera than a chapter of
facts. Among her antique jewels, which
are of great value, is a necklace of pink
pearls that was given by Mary, Queen

40 PER CENT a MONTH.
Five Cases of Usuary Against Loan
Office Concerns.

Five cases in which the charge was
usurious interest, were tried in Magis-
trate Nathan's Court yesterday. Noble
Augusta a colored woman, whose neces~
sites had forced her to borrow numerous
small sums at different times, was the
plaintiff in each case, and J. r. Hopkins,
Call & Co, Huff & Co., and others, were
the defendants.
1t would seem almost impossible that q
company could do loan business in the
city charging interest at the rate of 40
per cent. a month and yet the evidence
brought out in the trial showed that 20
have been the lowest rate charged, and
only on the smallest amounts, the larger
the sum borrowed the greater the rate
of interest until the capital was almost
doubled monthly.
The story told by the woman is only one
of numberless similar ones that are
brought to the attention of lawyers every
week. She is a respectable and appar-
emily honest woman, who has been en-
ployed for nearly ten years as a servant
in the house of a well known citizen. Re-
Gently she decided to leave her place
and start a boarding house. believing that
she could make more money that way.
A few months back, needing some ready
money she had raised it by applying to a
loan company giving a OIL OF sale On nef
furniture to guarantee its repayment, and
agreeing to pay interest at the rate of 40
cents on the dollar for each month that
the money was retained. These amounts,
with the accruing interest, she paid up
from time to time, but recurring necessi-
ties caused her o borrow again and again
from first one company and then another
until the total amount of her borrowings
amounted to about $50 Within the last
few months she has paid in nearly double
this amount, and yet the amount of her
Indebtedness was not decreased, and the
agents. of the loan concerns were making
threats of foreclosure unless further mon
ey was forth coming. AS final resort she
applied to a lawyer, who represented her
interest yesterday, and gained a decision
in each of the cases.
One of the most peculiar features of the
business Of the loan companies is the eff
forts that are made by their representa-
tVes or some Of them, to keep out of
sight the responsible head of the concern
that they represent In yesterdays hear

agent and bookkeeper for Call & Co..

c. AND $. TRACK TOOK FIRE.
Delayed Trains and Burned a Mail
and Express Car for Southern.

A weodpile at Perry's switch, on the
Charleston and Savannah, three miles this
side of Ridgeland, was fired in come way
early yesterday morning, and the flames
were communicated to the crosstles. The
Southern Railways southbound passenger
train, No. So, ran upon the burned track,
and the fire was communicated to the mail
and express car, which was destroyed.
The mail was saved and none of the con-
tents of the car were lost. 1t was only by
hard work that the other cars were saved
from becoming ignited by the burning
mail car.
The section gang had discovered the fire
and taken precautions to prevent the dam
age to the train that was known to be due.
A danger flag was posted but the engineer
did not, for some reasons give it the con-
sideration it should have had He did nor
succeed in bringing his train to stop in
time and the engine ran across the burn-
ing place. Then the rails spread or broke,
and the mail car could not pass, bur re-
manned over the flames.
No water could be had and sand was
about all that could be used to fight the
fire. The other cars had TO be showed by
hand and with crowbars away from the
mail car, and it was not until the flames
mad died away or been eXungulShed that
the section gang was able to 90 to work
and repair the track. New crossties had
to be put in and new rails laid.
Train No. 80 was due here at $40 in the
morning but it did not arrive until 2:30
Other southbound trains over the Plant
System and the Southern We're also de-
layed until the track could be repaired.
Four trains, with but slight intervals be-
tween, came in from the North, and as two
nrjh fYre.f rritv inc
before, there were six passenger trains
pulling into the shed in unusually quick
order. The track was ali right, and trait
tic went on as If there had never been
anything wrong with it.
Some anxiety about the Northern mail
was felt. 1t was occasioned by the report
of the burning of the car Inquiry was
made as TO the cause of the delay when
the train failed to come in when expected,
and it was only learned at first that the
car had been destroyed. Nothing was said
about the mail having been saved

Roy ATHLETES AT THEIR BEST.
Interesting Exhibition by Y. Nj. c. A.
Junior Gymnasts.


Junior Gymnasts.
Thirty-flve young athletes of the Y. NJ
c. A. Junior Glass gave an excellent ex-
hibition of class and special work yester-
day afternoon. The galleries of the gym
nasium were filed with the friends and
admirers of the youngsters. who enjoyed
the entertainment thoroughly, and Were
most generous in their applause of the
really excellent work.
The first event was a grand march
around the hall 10 popular march melo-
dies, played by Wiegand's orchestra. This
was followed by dumb bell drill by the
class, which was particularly good the
boys executing each movement with a
precision and grace that showed careful
training and practice.
Class work on the apparatus came next.

the rings, the mat, and the horse. The
work on the horse was probably the best,
though the efforts of the boys on the
mat and the. to a layman, peculiar and
awkward positions assumed during a part
of the exercises proved a source of con-
siderable mirth to the spectators.
a SDflnS
board jump for height in which Masters
Powell, Metzger, Stokes. Hartridge, Ellis
and McMurray took part. All of the con-
testants did remarkably well, young
Metzger. finally winning out by jump of
six feet.
The Indian club race which followed
was taken part in by Masters Dougan,
Branan. Carolan, May Roos, Pottinger,
Cronk and Maclean. 1t was run in two
uvOO NV octA
Roos and Pottinger, who were first and
second, respectively, and the second by
Masters Maclean, and Carolan who won
in the order named. The final heat, in
which the winners of the other two were
the contestants, was won by Master
Pottinger.
In table feats by Masters Elton, Lynch,
NJ. Roos and d. Roos, some of the best
work of the exhibition was given. The
feats consisted of spring board jumps
over a mat-covered table, six feet long
and over three feet high, long distance
dives over its entire length and also
somersaults in which the boys rose from
the spring board on one side of the table
and landed on their feet on the other
without having touched the table
in their passage over il. Another of the
feats was the turning of backward
somersaults from the table to the floor.
In the running high dive, Masters DEL
schig, Osborne. Carolan and Daniel took
part, the latter winning by a dive of
four feet eight inches.
Excellent work was done in the pole
vault also, which was won by Master
Lynch, with a vault of five feet, zen
inches, an exceptionally good vault for
the young mans inches Others who con-
tested in this event, were Masters Ellis,
Osborne. Oeschig and Harris.
An other interesting and graceful part
of the entertainment was the tumbling
of Masters Elton, Lynch. NJ. Roos and b.
Roos, all of whom displayed daring and
power in doing the most difficult feats
that won for them the enthusiastic ap-
prevail of the galleries.
The splendid work of the boys is due
largely to the efforts of Physical Director
Blake, who takes a special pride in the
Junior Glass, as it was he who organized
1t, and 1T has been directly under his
tuition ever since.
