DROP THAT CIGARETTE.'
And Mr.. George Gould Quickly Did
as He Was Bid.

A New York correspondent writes to
the Chicago Times Herald: drop that
cigarette, Mr.. Gould" exclaimed E. H..
Hartman, chairman of the executive
meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Union Pacific Railroad few days ago.
He was speaking to George j. Gould,
the millionaire director of the company,
the man whose father some years ago
made clean sweep of every director in
the corporation, from Charles Francis
Adams, down, because they had dis
pleased him.
Mr.. Gould looked astounded. He
glanced out of the window of the com
panys Office to see if the world had
come to an end.
81 mean it," said Mr.. Hartman,
severely II have just issued an order
prohibiting cigarette smoking by an en-
ploye of the company-you get $40 every
time you come here. So kindly put
away that cigarette"
Millionaire Gould recovered from the
state of daze into which he had been
thrown. Then he slowly dropped his
cigarette.
Then Mr.. Hartman, who objects TO
smoking of any kind, announced that he
thought men should not be directors in
companies and make rules for others II
they can't obey the rules themselves.

Meeting of G. A. r.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. To-
A telegram received in the city to-
day from Fl. Clay Evans, Commits
sioner of Pensions, shows that the
Administration has no mention of

The Indications are, no matter
what Mr.. Evans does in the interest
of the party, that he will be- attacked
again az the coming meeting of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Col.
II. B Case, of this oity. who was a
member of the committee of the q.

CONFEDERATE WHITE HOUSE.
An Historic Old Place, Filled With
Many Things OF Interest.
Written for the 4ERALD.l

To the White House of the Con-
federacy, now the Confederate
Museum at Richmond, Va, the lover
of memories of the by cones will
find much to interest,--th South
relicks of hard-fought battles and
battle. fields, bearing mute witness o
the deeds of the bravery of those who
fought for the ''lost cause" SWORDS,
pistols, guns, well-worn uniforms,
camp utensils, and old, tattered
flag, all say To the locker on "those
were heart breaking times"
A cabinet in the northeast room
contains the uniform, boots and side
arms worn by Gen. r. E. Lee on the
occasion of surrender, together with
a few tin vessels consisting of a
bucket for carrying grub" a cup or
wo and several spoons. Oue is
struck by the simplicity of this out
fit, when it is considered that it be
longed to one of the greatest mill
tary chieftains the world ever saw.
In the northwest room another
cabinet contains the suit of clothes
worn by President Jefferson Davis
when he was captured. Over this
was thrown shawl, this giving rise
to the stcry that Mr.. Davis was
captured in female attinre.
Many of the SOuthland's families
have given or loaned to the museum
and as the building is fire-proof and
everything carefully tagged aud
listed, there is no danger of these
cherished mementoes being de
stroyed or lost.
The authorities of the institution
are DESTROYS of having the old soldier
or their friends contribute or lo.r
anything of historic value, and will
be glad to correspond with refel enc
to such matters.
This museum will be of much in.
terest to generations to come, and i
is well that the young have the ad

NASHVILLE, Aug. Is. George f..
Blake, clerk TO the Funding Board

die Tennessee. $l44 437 ,l48, and West
Tennessee, $50 953 023; total, 1923,
3i4 800. These are the figures as
they came from the County Boards,
before the State Board of Equaliza
ton had gone over them, but the
aggregate for the State shows an in
crease over 1899 of $l4 630,033 in the
valuation of property, which at the
rate OF thirty five cents, means an IN.
crease in the State tax alone of $751;

est increase, the amount being some
thing over 81. 200 600; East Tennessee
100000, and West Tennessee, 81

FLYING LADY" HURT.
Supporting Rods Broke and Her
Spine Was Injured.

The majority of Topeka people who
visited the Midway at the street fair
saw 'Lunette, the flying lady" They
remember the performance as cleverly
handled and one of the best on the Mid
way. The pale-faced, fair haired little
woman who apparently hung in mid
air without supports of any kind at in
tervals of about Is minutes every af-
ternoon and evening is now occupying
a. bed in a Philadelphia hospital suffer-
ing from paralysis of the lower extreTni-
ties. the result of a serious injury to her
spine.
The woman is Gertrude Bowie. While
performing in Chestnut Hill park, near
Philadelphia. last week, the invisible
rods supporting her broke, allowing her
to drop with great force to the stage.
When she was picked up it was found
she was powerless to move her lower
extremities, and examination showed
that her spine was injured.

WILL GO FROM MANILAa
Transport Westminster With Supplies
to Leave For Taku at Once.

Washington, July 9-Col. Miller. quar-
termaster at Manila, acting under in
structions from Quartermaster General
Ludington, has arranged to dispatch
the transport Westminster from Manila
to Taku, with a full cargo of forage and
other supplies for our military forces in
China. The transport will discharge
her cargo at Taku and viii then proceed
to Nagasaki for the purpose of getting
the supplies on the transport Grant
from San Francisco, intended for the
troops in the Philippines in the event
that the Grant is compelled to proceed
from Nagasaki to Taku with the two
squadrons of the Sixth cavalry and the
marine detachment under Major Biddle,
who are passengers on that vessel.
This action of the department is ac
cepted as a practical admission that
the troops on the Grant are expected to
go to China instead of the Philippines.
Inasmuch as it will not be possible for
the transport Sumner to take more than
a squadron of the Fifteenth infantry
across the Pacific. it has been arranged
that another battalion of that regiment
shall be forwarded on the transport
Hancock which will sail from San Fran
cisco on the first prOximo. These troops
will follow the course prescribed in the
case of the Ninth infantry. While os-
tensibly bound for the Philippines, they
will be kept in readiness for service in
China and will be diverted TO that coun-
try upon the arrival of the transport
at Nagasaki in case it is found neces-
sary to increase the military strength
in China.

Seabright N. J., July 9.-While driv-
ing from their home on the Rumson
Bluff yesterday morning Miss Susan
McCook and her sister, Miss Martha
McCook daughters of Colonel John J.
McCook the well known corporation
lawyer, were thrown from their car
riage.
The young ladies were driving a high
spirited horse attached to a runabout
groom. When near Red Bank the
horse took fright at pile of sewer
pipes beside the road, and, dashing to
the opposite side of the road, ran the
wagon on high bank upsetting it and
throwing both of the young ladies
violently to the ground Then he dash
ed away until out of sight
Miss Martha McCook escaped without
injury but her sister was less fortunate.
She struck on her side, her hip was bad
~ cut and bruised and her face was
also cut and bruised.
Miss Susan McCook had tainted from
her injuries, but DR.. Brown soon
brought her back to consciousness and
gave her other necessary care.
DR.. Paul Kimball, of Seabright. was
called in, and after a careful examina-
ton pronounced Miss NIcCook out of
danger, much to the relief of the fam
lily.
Miss Susan McCook is the eldest
daughter of Col. McCook. She is a beau
tiful girl of 20 years. She is without
doubt the most popular young lady at
Seabright this summer. She has tIaV-

WISE GIVEN TWO YEARS.
Topeka Real Estate Man Gets
Minimum Sentence.

H. NJ. Wise was this morning sentenced
by Judge Hazen to serve two years in the
penitentiary at hard labor for robbing j.
A. McKeon.
Last October McKeon came to Topeka
with about $500 his person He drank
with several people and was found the
next morning on the bank of a creek east
of the city. He had been drugged and
robbed Wise was identified by several
witnesses as being the man they saw TAX
ing McKeon out of town in a buggy. Chief
Ramsey found $1S5 that Wise had secret
ed. Two juries in the district court dis
agreed, but at the third trial Wise was
found guilty. The evidence against him
was worked up by Chief Ramsey and his
assistants.
On passing the sentence, Judge Hazen
said. II have no de- BIT of your guilt

would justify the court in passing a Sc
we're sentence. but do not wish to do SO

GLOBE SIGHTS

TF'rom the Atchison GIobe.1
We are particularly proud of the
Atchison women; not one will be
found at the Chautauqua encampnent
at Ottawa. When an Atchison woman
wants to camp out, she takes her hus-
band and children with her, and doesn't
wander off with a lot of other women
to Ottawa to live in muddy tent for
two weeks, and attend lectures on Home
Life.
Webster Davis fired the Democratic
convention during his pro-Boer speech,
with these lines from national hymn:
In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was
born across the sea; as He died to make
men holy. let us die to make men free.
The crowd went wild; it always did
with the slightest provocation. Davis
was the best tallker who addressed the
convention. He was easily heard by the
majority of people in the great audi
ence.
When people hear of big Pennsylva-
MIA politicians, they picture them as dis
tinguished, fine looking men, The writer
of this got mixed up with the Pennsyl-
MIA delegates marching to the conven-
they looked, acted, dressed, and talked
like men from Coon Hollow or Oak
Mills. There wasn't a man in the crowd
who looked as if he could find his way
home alone
The Democrats treat orators so well
that Webster Davis broke into the
Democratic party. Davis is a better
orator than w. ]. Bryan is. or ever will
be. But Bryan thought of it first, and
by the time Davis is recognized as a
full fiedged Democrat, the country will
be tired of orators.
Hanna has been called a boss. but
he is not in it with w. ]. Bryan. Hanna
never yet controlled an entire convention
like pack of school children.
The Democrats have one thing to be
thankful for. Their platform does not
allude to the crime of '73 and does not
view with ALARM
