FLOWS TC THE MISSISSIPPI.
The Great Chicago Drainage Ca
nal Opened. Cost s33, oo0,-
600.

Chicago, Jan AT 8 O'Clock
this morning the water was tuln>
ed into the thirty>three million
dollar drainage canal and began to
flow toward Lockpolt where it
will fall into the Desplaines river
and thence through the Illinois
and Mississippi rivers to the Gulf
of Mexico.
What is termed by canal en-
gineers the collateral of the chan
mel has for some time been com
pleted from the Chicago river iu
the southwestern part of the city
to within fifteen feet on the main
chsnnel of the canal. This fif
teen foot wall of earth, with two
sluice gates behind it, has been Al
that kept tho Chicago river and
Lake Michigan out nf the canal.
At 10 o'clock Monday night a
steam dredge began to cut away
the wall of earth and in a few
minutes before 9 O'Clock today the
water of the collateral channel WAS
against the sluice gates, and only
a few inches Of tim her remained
to be removed before the canal
would be in operation. When the
water hcgsn to back up against
the sIulce gatcs the timbers were
knocked away and the first water
from the Chicago river ran in,o
the canal.
Engineers OF the sanitary dis,
trict cut the channel to carry
800, OOC cubic feet Of water 4
minute, but today the water was
allowed to flow into the canal at .
rate of only fifty Thousand cubic
feet per minute. The effect OF
turning 100000 cubic feet OF
water minute into the empty
csnsI would be like the bursting
Of reservoir and could tear arav
every bridge over the canal and
wreck the controlling works at
Lockport. Therefore the water
had to he turned in gradually.
Probably a week will elap.e be-
fore the canal will he full OF water
and is carrying away sewerage ths,
now flows into the Chicago river.

For The Ledger.
The Ideal w oman.

DEAR EDITOR: Perhaps l am
in some r. spects very old fash
ioued animal. The ideal woman
enshrined in my heart today is
a fac-simile of the wilI>o the visp
creature my progenitors have
loved through all generations.
Perhaps I'll never find her, for
ideal women do not grow Oh ever
bush-nor ideal men for that mats
ter. But, however fair the sub
stitute, ! may put in her place,
there is little chamber in my
heart sacred to that 'nOt impos-
sihle she' whose dream image
smiles through the smoke wrcathE
of nv evening pipe, or gIimmers
in the rosy caverns IF the fro.
And what is she, this ideal wo,
man! Beautiful as Venus or
Helen Of Trovl Strange as it
may seem | have had no clear idea
Of my ideals physical attractions.
She may he dark or fair, short or
tall, but above all pre- eminently
love able, and to he lOveahle in q
man' 4 eyes means many things,
bnt not Of necessity any extraor-
dinary beauty of face or form.
Not certainly any overwhelming
cleverness CleverI Who wants
q nwOma to he clever, if she he
gentle and sweet! A loveable
woman is gentle, tender hearted,
and sweet>tempered. Her voice
is low and has a caress in it's
simplest speech. Her eyes look
straight ut world that seems
beautiful to her. She is not
wholly ignorant of its hidden by
ways and the faults and foIlies of
pnnr hnman nature. yet in her
sweet charity she loves the sinner
even while she hates the sin. Her
religion is very real thing to her
-shs never makes parade of it
sny more than she does her love-
t ID ust'a part of her daily life;
and careless though he may be
himself in such matters, this is no
her least luveahle trait in a man
eyes. A woman who speaks lights
Iy of sacred things is abhorrent to-
any man. She may he ss iIlogica
as she likes, as sweetlv unreason-
able as she thinks tit, yet neither
will make her loss loveahle.

EMPEROR WILLIAM MAD.
SEIZURE OF SHIPS.
England Must Apologize. Ger,
many IN q Very Warlike Mood.

Berlin, Jan 4-The Imperial
mail steamer General has been
detained at Alden and occupied b,
British troops, with tho object OF
searching her cargo, which is to
he discharged. The General /.
owned by the German East Afri-
can Limo, the owners of the Bun
dosrath, previously captured by
the British cruiser Magicienne,
of Delagoa Bay.
The seizure Of the General has
considerably aggravated the situa
tion hereF and The indignation
against England il Intensified. The
government is still earnestly en-
deavoring to preserve correct Of.
fetal relations, hut England will
do well to hasten to make the
smende honorable to Germany.
On absolutely reliable authority
the correspondent Of the Associa
ted Press learns that Emperor
William is now thoroughly aroused
-by the repeated seizures of YES
sells, not one of which, he has
been assured, has been guilty of
carrying ccntraband. He regards
the seizures as high handed pro-
-ceedings which England would
not have dared to undertake if the
German navy we're more power
full than it is.
His Majesty is said to be par
ticularly incensed because infor-
nation has reached him showing
that the seizures were not due to
the hIunaering ot British navaj
omSciS ., buJ w bJIlCJ OIu6TS from
headquarters, which the officers
are merely carrying out. He has
therefore instructed Count Won
Bulow, the foreign secretary, to
demand exact and full reparation
for the outrage done to the Ger
MAN flag.
No answer that was considered
satisfactory has yet been received
from London, and according to
advices here mono i.to he expected
for several DAYS longer. Today's
news, however, induced the Ger
man government to send another
and N )re strongly worded protest
to London.

THIRTY SEVEN HOURS AND STILL NO
VERDICT
Spnrtanbulg, Jan 4-When
the court Of sessions convened
this morning, Judge Buchanan
called out the jury i, the seduc
Ton case of the State W j &
Meares, and asked if they de-
sired anv additional instruction
upon the law or the reading of
any of the testimony. The fore
man answered in the negative.
The Judge then urged the impor-
t.nce Of reaching a verdict, and
directed them to again retire for
tho consideration of the case.
At 2 O'Clock p iii, the furem.u
asked to make statement, which
was granted He said he saw NJ
possibility Of the jury reaching n
conclusion. The court stated
that he must retire and make an.
other effort Tonight at II
O clock Judge Buchanan went to
court house and awaited the yer
dict of jury in the Mesres case.
They had not agreed, and as there
wa. no probability of q verdict
being reached Immediately he sent
them back to their room, saving
he would ne in the court house at
9 o'clock tomorrow to receive
their verdict.
This jury has been out since
Wednesday afternoon at o clock
81 hours-on this remarkable
case. The greatest interest /.
manifested here. 1t is safe to
say no verdict will he reached un-
til tomorrow. =. II. +.

SENSATIONAL CASE IN
SPARTANBURG
Cora jenkins Accuse. Prof j {
Meares in Court. Had her
Child in Her Arms.
Special to The State.

Il
ceedlngs in sessions court today
were taken up with tho hearing
OF the case Of the State VS. j {
Meares.
X There was unusual interest de
lyeIoped in the case, and the court
room was crowded all day long.
The attorneys were: Solicitor
Sease for the prosecution and j j
Burnett and Duncan & Sanders
for the defendant.
The following is a collection of
facts regarding the caso: Aho.t t
five years ago, Cora Jenkins, a
13-y year old white girl from an
orphanage in AsheviIIe, n {,
came to Spartanhurg tn make her
home with the Misses Morris, two
elderly maiden ladies, who live
near Cedar Springs. She re-
mained at the home Of these ladies'
for two years, at tho end of which
time she went to the home of
Prof j & Mesres, an instructor IN
the State Institute for the Deaf
and Blind at Cedar Springs, to
accept duties as domestic. The
girl was received with good rec
| concentrations as to her character
and industry as worker. She
remained at the home of Mr.
Meares for nearly two years.
When the condition of the girl
vas discovered Prof Meares i'm
Iraediately shipped her from hi.
house, and she drifted to the
county parish, where she gave
birth to a child. After the birth
of the babe, the young mother
asked Prof Meares for the sup
port of her child, claiming that he
was the father, and that he had
taken advantage of her under his
own roof. Prof Meares refrain
ed from having anything vt all to
do with the matter, at the same
time protesting his innocence.
Immediately V after these charges
the officers of the First Baptist
