MIR. POTTS AND THE SALESMAN
Just Because He Had on a Linen Duster Was No Reason That He
 Was Going to Florida.

Youths Companions: .t.. .e=
 "Citv folks think they're so smart" said Abijah Potts with fine scorn They carlate all they need to do is just to give one look at a man, and then tell where he was born and where he is going; but they miss the mark sometimes"
 II bet they missed it on you, pa" said the youthful counterpart of MT. Potts. who was testing the powers of his parents recent trip to Boston.
 They did, said Mir. Potts, triumph antly, that's just what they did. First thing set out to get me was a valise. My ossl bag had just busted beyond re- pairs after all these years.
 Well. sir, l stepped into a leather store along with Cy that very morn- ing, and the clerk come forward polite enough, though he cast a look at my linen duster that I didn't exactly like.
 " I want to look at travelling bags valises.' said I.
 :" Step this way, sir.' he spoke up, glib as a monkey. I can give you just what you want-an excellent alligator bag for $S.'
 My dander rose. but kept a grip on my feelings and looked at him calm as a clock.
 1OulS 1eIeI, Sdlu l, JuSI DecduSe because I've got on a linen duster and a cool's spell come on, you needn't de- eide that I'm going to Floridy. It just happens said I. and I guess by the color he took on that my tone was pretty sarcastic. 1t just happens said I. that 1 am not going to Florida. but to the fair in Buffalo. New York State, said I.
 Then. long as I didn't want to be too severe with him." said MT. Potts leniently, T let him show me some good ribbed leather bags and bought that one I fetched home with me"

Brooklyn. but it is doubtful whether
 among them there is any more unique
 than one that is to be found on an
 upper floor of the building at 46I Full ton street. where white placard, fastened on a door, bears the legend.
 Miss Adelaide Tukey. Studio. Her. aldry."
 If the visitor makes bold to knock
 the door is opened by a little, white haired woman with blue eyes. This is
 Miss Tukey herself, who. as the visit
 or will soon learn. is not whit less interesting than her studio.
 Miss Tukey is 65 years of age, and is the daughter of a Boston lawyer,
 whose name was well known in his profession in the i0s. With the death of her father. Miss Tukey was con- fronted with the necessity of earning a livelihood and accordingly she became
 teacher of painting on china. SeVer- al years ago she began to find 1t difn-
 cult to compete with younger teachers and their more modern methods. and
 Miss Tukey, who had always been in- terested in the study of heraldy, re- solved to make her knowledge of this art supplement her small income. In
 this she has attained remarkable de-
 gree of success.
 Miss Tukeys studio consists of a large, pquare room, whose walls are
 covered with faded paper. On one Of
 the walls is draped a large American
 flag. and artistically arranged on the
 shelves. tables and walls are books. decorated china, handsome paintings and a vast assortment of colored heral' die devices.
 Miss Tukey is authority for the statement that coats of arms are com ing more and more into favor with the
 American families.
 Tt is only natural, after all that this
 should be so." explained Miss Tukey to
 reporter for The Eagle. Many of
 the best American families have al- ways felt a pride in their escutcheons. And why not? They constituted part of our ancestral heritage. Washing ton used his crest. and so, too, did
 Benjamin Franklin and Peter Faneull, of Boston. President Adams had q crest also. although many persons be-
 lieved that he designed it himself. but this is not so. I discovered the genuine escutcheon of the Adams family em- blazoned on a window in an ancient church that still stands in the town or Chapin. in the north of England. It was formerly a Welsh town and the
 family name was Ap-Adam. which Is really son of Adam The S is mod ern annexation"

THE RACES TODAY.
Fast Horses Will Meet at Riverside
 This Afternoon.

It is doubtful if the track at River side was ever faster ir its history than it is at present, the hard rain of Mon day night putting 1t in splendid con dition. The races postponed from last Tuesday will be held today the first heat being called at o'clock sharp.
 The three pacers starting in the match rate-Jenks, Sunshine and Brookside-are fit as a fiddle and the fight between them will ba interesting to degree. The race will be three heats in five. the distance flag being used, and the probabilities are that the phenomenal time made by these horses on the 4th of July will be lowered. Sandwiched between the heats of the match race there will he a race be- tween Major Smiths speedy lilly Ala bama, and MT. Gersons fast pacer, Butts Kohn.
 . Mir. Newell has made every effort to have things as pleasant as possible. There will be music in the stand. and the afternoon promises to be a de- lightful one.

Governor Jelks yesterday pardoned three convicts, one of them a young white man sent up from Escambia County for unlawfully riding on rail- road trains.
 A pardon was granted to Jesse Thomas Osborne, whose home is in Phenix City. Osborne was convicted July II in the County Court of Escam- bia County for riding on trains and labor. The following endorsement was made by the Governor upon the appli- cation for a pardon:
 This boy, I am informed, served two years in the army in the Philippines. He was recently mustered out in San Francisco and reached Mobile. Then he undertook to beat his way to Phe- nix City, his home, and was arrested for riding on trains. He is sick, and because he has served out ten days of his sentence and has been sufficiently punished, let a pardon issue" Freeman Binfold, negro boy, IS years old, was pardoned, to become ef- fective in November. Binfold was con- victed November 3, 1900 in the Circuit
 Court of Lee County of murder in the
 second degree, and was sentenced to seven years. He is at Pratt Mines.
 Binford accidentally killed Fletcher Stevens, his friend and companion, by pointing a rusty pistol at him. He did not know 1t was loaded" and the
 trial solicitor and the present solicitor
 recommended clemency.

 Montgomery County negro. was par doned, effective August 16 The ne-
 gro was convicted of grand larceny in the Montgomery City Court on January 16. 1900. and was sentenced to three
 years. The pardon was issued upon

MINNEAPOLIS, April 12.-Wheat made
another gain today. The early market
was firm on the higher range establish
ed by yesterdays advance May opened
&c higher, at 70a4c and sold to 711ac. At
first there was a little short selling on
the theory that the Liverpool cable
showing a gain of A@3sd was merely re-
coTery from their slump on the govern
ment report, and that Liverpool has as
yet shown no response to our later adj
vance of a cent. What pressure came
from this source had little effect The
market showed stability and apparently
Is settling into firmer lines around the
present basis. In the early news it was
reported that ciearances were running
very heavy. This helped the firmness and
with Argentine shipments lighter and
Northwestern receipts very small there
was little on which to base hope for
weak turn. Chicago had business in
cash wheat at 300, 900 blu. Some more buy
ing orders came into the pit after the first
hour, the market continued firm, and
