pie attended the fair grounds principally
to witness the $500 pacing match be-
tween Joe Patchen and COney- The two
famous PAGERS were vociferously ap-

were sent away in the first heat Patchen
took the lead at the stable turn and led
by a length to the half mile post, when
Coney forged to the front and led to the
betting ring, when Patchen came on and

HIGHER Law THAN MANS
Fort SCOTT Attorney Takes a Bible
Into Court.

Into Court
Fort Scott, Oct. 4.--Judge Stockmyer
was in city court to defend himself
against a suit brought against him by
William Pryor. whom he sent to jail the
other day for stealing his sweet pota-
toes. Pryor claims the judge owes him
about IS for attending to the sweet po-
tato patch from which the potatoes were
stolen. Pryor's attorney entered the
court room with an arnful of law
books-Kansas decisions, the statutes,
etc, but Stockmyer carried the statutes
which Moses brought down from Mount
Sinai. His only authority was the Holy
Bible
what have you got there, judge2"
asked Chief of Police Conway.
1--WE got the law" said the judge.
"a law that is higher than mans law"
THAT kind of law won't go In this
court the marshal replied.
TN show you whether it viii or not, -
replied the sweet potato lawyer with an
accent that was proof of his conviction
that the court must give it precedence
over all other law.
The case was then continued.

PESOS TO BE RECOINED.
Porto Rico sends AnothersB batch OF
Coins to PhiIadeIphfa Mint-Unit-

ed States infantry, and a detail of six
men. 1t was turned over to an ex-
press company to take to the Philadel-
phia mint, where it will be recoined.
conservative estimate places the
amount of unredeemed Porto Rico
silver still in circulation on the island
at about 100000. This coin is stead
lily coming in through the various
bank agencies. and it is safe to say
that in about six weeks, or two
months at most, but little of the old
circulating medium will remain on
the island In the larger coast towns,
such as San Juan, Ponce and Maya
gueze, where the government has es-
tablished direct exchange, the provin-
cial coin is exceedingly scarce, being
entirely replaced by American gold,
bills and silver, but in the small, iso-
lated interior towns the new medium
is almost unknown. The Spanish bank
at San Juan up to date has put out
about 100000 in paper, which, al
though more or less Wildcat is
readily accepted and fast getting into
circulation.
When the first time limit expired on
August l. it was found that but little
over half of the Porto Rican coin had
been redeemed. The smaller mer-
chants refused to accept the debased
currency and prices doubled and bust
ness remained at standstill for sew
eral weeks. Competition and the law
of supply and demand has steadily
brought about a readjustment, and
prices have now, it is said, reached
the normal conditions.

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.
Remains of Soldiers Will Be Exhumed
from Northern Cemeteries and
Taken South.

The Confederate Southern Me-
mortal association. with headquar-
tiers in New Orleans, has arranged to
reclaim the bodies of the southern
dead now resting in northern GENE
teries, and to renter them, either in
the church yards and cemeteries of
their respective states, or in a plot
to be especially set aside for the
purpose in the National cemetery at
Arlington, Va. directly opposite
Washington.
The affiliated associations, the nu-
merous camps of the Confederate vet
Grams, and the state chapters of the
have been asked to assist in the work.
The lists of all confederate dead
buried in northern cemeteries will be
published throughout the south, thus
giving friends and veterans an OPP
portunity to claim their dead. The
movement is due to the action of con-
gfess, which in the sundry civil ,ap-
preparation bill. approved June 6,
1900, provided for the disinterment
of these bodies of the southern dead
and their reburial in "a special Sec,
ton of the National cemetery at Ar
lington, Va. "a {.
The date of removal is set for Oc-
tober. Hollywood cemetery, in Rich
mond, has been placed at the disposal
of the association for the renter
ment of the bodies of all gconfed-
crate soldiers which are unclaimed.

A COMMON TRAMP.
Granddaughter of Admiral de Brueys,
Commander of French Fleet in
Battle Of Nile, Sees the World.

Henry A. de Brueys, granddaughter
of Admiral de Brueys, who COM
manded the French fleet in the bat
tie of the Nile, has, according to his
own estimate. tramped $4,000 miles.
He has been seeing the country for
four years, or since he was II, and is
just now resting at Trenton, N. j.,
in the big institution established
there for the reformat ton of knights
of the road and conducted by Prince
ton theological students as an ex-
pertinent for the solution of the
tramp problem
Last winter De Brueys caught
severe cold in his left eye, and when
it failed to improve after some
months he made his way to the
tramps' haven to be doctored. He is
not having any of the local physicians
treat him, either. On the contrary,
he makes a trip each week to New
ark, where at free eye and ear dis
pensary he is given the best special
treatment to be got. Trenton does
not boast of such a dispensary and
that is why he makes his weekly pill
grimages to Newark.
It is close to so miles from Tren-
ton to Newark, but to a man of young
De Brueys' travelling experience that
is mere bagatelle. He jumps a
freight train each Tuesday morning
and is back at Trenton about three
o'clock in the afternoon with as
much regularity as the New York
commuter who makes his daily trips
to and from his business.

Origin of the Chinese Queue.

The custom of Cinnamon wearing
plgtalls is not ancient, considering the
period that China has existed as a
nation. 1t dates from 1927, when the
Manchus, who then commenced the
conquest of the celestial empire, en-
forced this fashion of doing the hair
as sign of degradation. The average
queue is three feet long, says the
Golden Penny, and, reasoning that the
adult Cinnamon number 100000, 900, we
get united pigtasl measuring 1866
miles long, sufficient to go four and
a half times round the earth!
