BARNES FEELS BETTER.
Shocked by Lightning and Thinks Il Helped
His rheumatism.

Canaan, Me, July 11.-Laforest
Barnes of this town, is a firm believer
in the doctrine that a man can be
struck by lightning. and not only live,
but be benefited by the stroke.
Last Sunday. Mr.. Barnes house was
struck and badly shattered by a stroke
of lightning. Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes
were lying on a couch close to the wall
that was shattered. and had a very
narrow escape. Both We're slightly
stunned by the shock, but regained con-
sciousness in a few moments.
On rushing out to find the extent of
the damage, a fire was discovered in
the shed. A lantern had been left
hanging on the wall. 1t was directly in
the way of the lightning. which passed
through the globe. making two holes
as though pierced by bullet. The oil
ignited. and a lively blaze was started.
which they soon extinguished.
Several windows We're smashed. and
the fluid played in very freakish man
ner around the rooms, knocking down
plastering. tearing picture frames to
pieces and blackening the guilt frames
of others.
Mr.. Barnes, who has been in poor
health for several months, and had
suffered very much from rheumatism.
says he has felt very much better since
the shock than for some time, but does
not care to have second dose. Mrs.
Barnes is greatly Frustrated.

no SUNDAY ATHLETlcs.
Americans FlaiIy Refuse and Paris Schedule
u Promptly Revised.

Parls. July 1L-What appeared to be a
nlsagreeaDle obstacle in the way OF Amer
ican atnletes participating in the interna-
has been amfcably and satisfactorily set
tied. When the original plans OF the
msetign We're outlined, the. sports were
the day of all big sporting events II,
france. The agitation in the United
States became such and the refusal of
the the teams to enter was SO general that
Air. Spauldins and his assistant. Mr.. DE
Garmandis, made strong representations
TO the French officials, who finally agreed
that as Saturday is a national holiday in
France the sports should be begun on
that day.
Recently they found that on account of
the military parade 1t would be impossible
10 pegih the contests at such an hour as
not TO conflict with this s-aat review,
and on the arrival of the American ath-
letes they discovered that many of the
events had been set for Sunday. The
teams from Princeton University, Penn
sylvania and Syracuse emphatically
stated that they would decline to take
any part unless notifications should be
made. This brought about a meeting be-
tween the captains and managers of all
the teams. Messrs. Sullivan and De Gar
mendia. and the French officials control
ling the games.
The meeting took the form of a sched-
ule committee. After hours of delibera-
ton the whole program was satisfactorily
arranged. The change made will push for
ward the trials in the 1oU-metre race, so
that the event will be finished Saturday
This is also done with the hurdle race at
10 metres. The finals in the S00-metre
race will go over Sunday and be conclud-
ed, Monday.
1t was agreed in regard to the field
events in the pole vauIC, broad Jump and
others which occur on Sunday in which
the American contests are entered the
Americans should be permitted to make
the contest alone, either on Saturday or
Monday. as they choose This arrange
ment, while eliminating the Sunday ques-
ton, is regarded as handicap by the
Americans in that men competing by
themselves lose some of the enthusiasm
life and vim which the competition of
athletes of other countries at the same
time would bring.
All the American athletes are now in
Paris. the last contingent to reach here
being the Pennsylvania men who ar
rived, this evening. from London All the
contestants are in splendid condition. eX-
cept George w. Orton OF the University Y
of Pennsylvania, who seemed a little
of the English climate but say that the
few days spent here have done much to
improve them.
The Americans experienced some handi-
cap on account Of the difference between
French and American sporting rules un-
der which the contests will take place
The method OF starting also is quite diff
ferent, but il has been agreed that Mar
tell of Georgetown, shall be permitted to
assist in all the starts and he will trans
late the words of the French starter for
the benefit of those who do not speak
French.
The grounds of the racing club where
the events will take place are situated in
a pretty grove in the Bois de Boulogne.

PEACE PROSPECTS
Frightened by the British Sue
cess at Bethlehem.
All Orange Free State Officials But
Steynhave Surrendered.
Collapse Of Both DeWst's and Botha's Forces
Daily Expected.

Pretoria, July 1.-THE British sue
cess at Bethlehem has considerably i'm
proved the prospects for peace, it is
said
The whole of the government of Pres
ident Steyn, of the Orange Free State,
has surrendered, except President
Steyn. himself.
These officials who are British pris-
oners. have been allowed to commune
cate with President Steyn for the pur-
pose of attempting to prove to him the
uselessness of continuance of the strug-
gle which can only produce bloodshed
without any counterbalancing advan-
tages.
The collapse of the forces Of General
We Wet is daily expected.
The Beers here say that the men
have taken a solemn oath never to per-
sonally surrender. but that they are
beginning to see the unfairness of sac
rificing life to personal wishes.
1t is expected that when General
Botha learns of the defeat of his col
leagues he will gladly enter into con-
ferences looking to the establishment of
peace.
The need of more civil administrators
is urgent and the necessity for their
appointment is becoming daily more
apparent.
Intelligent administrators with a
knowledge Of the people could un-
doubtedly greatly aid in the future set
tlement Of difficulties. inasmuch as a
frank feeling in favor of submission is
prevalent among the Beers

Seems 10 Have Had Practice.

New York, July IA man claiming to
be John l.. Barton, representing the Allie
gan Mills of Allegan. Mich. several days
ago, bought two pieces of old machinery
from Willis Il. Burt Of Northport, l.. i,
for $40, and sold him new machinery
which was to be paid for when delivered.
Later he called on Mr.. Burt and asked
him to go with him to the bank of North
port and identify him 50 that he could
get a check cashed. Barton presented a
check for $525 purporting to be drawn on
the New York correspondent of a bank
in Allegan and payable to Barton's order
Cashier Brush cashed the check and that
afternoon Barton after paying Burt $40
and telling him to hold the machinery
until notified to ship it, left town. To-
day, Cashier Brush was notified by the
New York bank on which the check was
drawn that the signature to the check
was a forgery. Barton is believed to be
the man who heeced people in other towns
