ANIMALS AS DISASTER.

Animals are exceedingly sensitive
to disturbances of earth and air, and
seem TO possess a sixth sense" which
warns them of impending danger.
Just before the great earthquake on
the Riviera in 1897 horses, dogs, mon
keys and even ducks were in a panic
for several days. At Nice many of the
horses were timid and weak, unable to
draw their burdens. while a monkey
and some other household pets that
were usually anxious to stay indoors
could not be induced to enter the
house.
Even the cows were terrified and
there was an appreciate falling off
in their milk before the earthquake
Some people. specially women, seem
to have this premonition of coming
disaster A lady residing in the hotel
at Amalfi left the day before the land
slide, declaring that she would not on
any account remain in that section an
other night.
This senstiyeness TO the earth S
people living in the earthquake zone.
People who have been in one earth
quake are particularly alive to the
slight earth shudders that precede the
real shock. After the disturbance in
the Riviera the inhabitants acquired a
peculiar presicence which warned
them of the succeeding ones.
Earthquakes have a terrifying ef-
feet ON all kinds of domestic animals.
During the earthquakes at Agram each
shock was heralded by the Growing
of cocks, barking Of dogs and bowling
of cats.
The animals of the west are alive to
the approach of the cyclone and seem
70 feel the electric tension before the
human beings notice it. Domestic ami
msls are more susceptible than wild
ones
fhe terror which some dogs mani
fest during a thunderstorm is proof of
their seDsitiyeness to the electricity
in the air, and they seem also to be
frightened at the vibrations following
thunder.
In the Alps the Swiss cattle on the
upper pastures come running in ter
ror TO the milking ground just before
severe thunderstorm, and even the
goats and sheep join them.

RAILROADS IN ASIA MINOR.

The advance sheets of consular re-
ports for February 2S give interest
ing details of the German concession
for an extension of the Anatolia rail-
way from Konieh via Marash and
Bagdad to Bassorah. A French COM
pany owning the Smyrna Kassaba
road opposed the concession, but was
placated by being given 10 per cent
OF the shares in the extension. The
1000 miles of this new trunk line con-
Meeting the Persian gulf with Europe
are expected to open up rich agri-
cultural country and pave the way for
German commercial supremacy In
Asia Minor and Mesopotamia." Con-
sui Jewet, of Sivas, expresses the
opinion that German trade will obtain
control of the chief markets of Asia
by means OF preferential rates given
TO German goods on the new rail-
way. Goods can be carried across the
Bosphorus In cars without change,
making the trip from Berlin to the
Persian gulf at a minimum cost. A
branch line connects Smyrna also
with the trunk line. American goods
will have TO be transshiqped at Con-
stantinople or Smyrna. The opiy
way to obviate this disadvantage, 81
Consul ,Iewett. Is to build a competing
line from Snope, on the Black sea, to
Bagdad. This route is through a bet
ter country and will pay better than
the German route.

along and guard them. II was the
hardest job we ever undertook as we
had to push them over hills, rivers
and rice fields most of the way. besides
being on the alert all the time for
fear of being attacked by the 'niggers.
We camped in the woods for the
night, leaving early next morning,
and Joined the rest of the regiment

relieved from our job. Here the col
umn pushed on to the next town
which was taken in short order. The

killed. The Filipinos were scattered
all over the road. We stopped in the
town over night, and the whole viii

town.

We marched to Salan the next day,
Jan. 10. The ith and 18th cavalry
which was ahead of us had already
taken the place. On the way in a
rice field, We captured gun. cloth
ing and ammunition. No one was
hurt In Salan the regiment also
captured a lot of ammunition and
guns also a few 'niggers.' We were
in the town but an hour when Cos. C
and d were ordered back to help the
bull carts on the road We had a hard
time getting them over two deep
gorges where the engineers had to
build brides and also build a road. 1t
took us two days to get them to town
The LIST battalion was left to garrison
the town. Cos. c, A and d were put
on outpost duty while Co. B policed

hide their rifles in the woods and the

A dispatch from Waycross, Ga,
says: Something like two years ago
Mr.. George w. Lewis, a young farmer
living up In the mountain section of
Georgia, inserted little advertise
ment in one OF the society papers ask
ing for a young lady correspondent,
his object being a little pleasant pas
time and--posslby matrimony. Miss
Marion Wilson. the eldest daughter OF
Mr.. ID. NJ. Wilson. OF this city, intend
ing only little fun, answered the adj
yertisement. The two young people
engaged in very pleasant correspond
ence, which grew In interest as the
days rolled by. On Tuesday the hero
of this story alighted from the cars In
the Magic City and shortly thereafter
called at the home of Mr.. Wilson TO
see the charming heroine. He found
her and the two were satisfied to
unite their fate. The tender missives
had often told In endearing terms
what now could be told face to face
1t was a case of mutual love at first
sight. The permission OF the girls
parents was sought and obtained for
an early marriage. There was some
hesitation on account of the brief ac-
quaintance Of the two, but the old
folks finally yielded and Thursday
night the ceremony was performed by
the Rev. J. NJ Glenn, shortly after
which the young people left for their
future home In North Georgia"

helpless ~ comfort her-this was the
erowning sorrow of his life.
Her life in England would have
been tragic indeed if it had depended
entirely on the man she had married.
But she won friends on all sides. and
their kindness alleviated her lot. The
elder Sartoris treated her as a daugh-
ter, and eminent Englshmen united in
paying her homage.
Among these was the late Sir Freder-
lex Leighton, president of the ROYAL
Academy. He took profound in
terest in Mrs. Sartors and her three
children, and it was his delight to
depict on canvas the beautiful face OF
Vivian, the elder of the two girls.
The other children are Algernon Ed

her, Widowhood found her strong
and self-disciplined.

100000 year.
For few years she lived in London

set she enjoyed the society of the
men and women best worth knowing.
But later years brought a longing
for home, and the companionship OF
her widowed mother And so the
daughter Of the nation returned, with
her children and all that belonged to
her, determined never again to know
any other allegiance. She applied to
congress for the restoration of her
citizenship and although the course
was an unusual one, a bill was passed
in favor of Gen. Grants daughter.
And so it happens that Vivian May
Sartoris, is an American girl, after all.
She made her debut in Washington
four years ago, and no young woman
at the capital has more admirers than
she. But without hesitation she left
the gayeties of the capital to sit at her
mothers bedside.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

During the past two months
accounts amounting to $500
have been sent to subscribers
OF the COURIER, whose sub
scriptions are Ill arrears. Of
this sum only $3.50 has been
paid. We now ask those who
have received a statement of
their Indebtedness to the
COURIER and have not paid
same, to try to make some ar
rangement for settling the ac-
count. The administrators of
the estate of the late editor of
this paper is under bond to
see that all claims due the
said estate are paid, and will
be compelled to place all un-
settled accounts in the hands
OF an officer for collection, as
required of her by law, if they
are not p id at an early date.
This step will be equally as
unpleasant to us at it will be
to other parties concerned,
and it is hoped that all en-
debted to the COURIER will
come forward and settle, and
avoid forced payments.
