Princess Leopold STATED SO Miles.


Princess Frederick Leopold, sister of
the kaiSerin, whose husband is so far the
only PruSSian prince Of the blood who has
visited the United States, has just accom-
pliShed a feat on the ice which has at
tracted much attention. She skated all
the way from POtsdam to BrandenburS,
more than eighteen miles, returning in
this same manner after an hours rest
The princess is passionately fond of skat-
ing, and three years ago almost lost her
life She and one of her ladies in walt
ing fell through the ice, and were rescued
only in the nick of time by peasants
who happened to hear their cries for help.
The kaiser was SO angry that he sub

cess Of the royal house of Prussia should
leave her palace without being attended

A LIVE MANAGER.
How Charles NJ. Hays Quickened a
Dead Railroad.
ICY warman in success.)

ICY Warman in Success
1t is rumored that Charles NJ. Hays,
of the Grand Trunk railroad, will ~e-
ceive a salary of $50, 900 a year, in his
new position, as the successor of Coils
p Huntington on the Southern Pacific.
Mr.. Hays commands a good salary, be-
cause he is a grinder.-COuntry Paper.
Yes, MIR. Hays is a grinder. When
he was II years old, he went into the
big mill, the American railroad, where
the youth of this republic are ground.
hammered, rolled, polished, and sent
out into the world to do things that
only big men can manage. Some are
unable to stand the grind These
quit. Some viii not take the polish
al the finish. These are pulverized and
dumped in the scrap pile.
1t was in st. Louis, on the old At
lantic & Pacific, in November, 1873,
that Mr.. Hays heard the wheels go
round for the first time. From the
very first revolution. he seemed to like
it; he liked the hum and go" of
the passenger business, in which he
started his railway work. A year later,
he was transferred to the auditors
office, but in the same year took the
desk in the Office of the general super
intendent, as chief clerk. In 1877 he
went over TO the Missouri Pacific, and
became secretary to the general mana
ger of Gouads great southwestern
system. In 1884 he left the Missouri
Pacific, and accepted a similar posi-
ton on the Wabash. Two years later
he was appointed assistant general
manager of that road, and then gen
eral manager.
Seeing that he would take the polish
they made him vice president of the
Wabash. That was in 1894. BY that
time his reputation as a man and
manager was worldwide among peo-
pie who own, but do not always know
how to run railroads. The English
owners of the Grand Trunk railway of
Canada had played with that splendid
piece of property, trying to operate il
from London, until il had been dis
tanced by nearly every other railroad
in America.
Finally, someone convinced them
that an American railroad ought to be
run in America. Someone suggested
sam" Galloway. He was a Canadian
used to be a station agent at Lon
don, Ont, but was then general man
ager of the Nickel Plate. He was Yam
kee enough to satisfy those with new
ideas, and British enough for the con-
servative element. They offered Cal
loway the job. To get him away from
the Vanderbilts, they offered him a
good salary.
NO" said Galloway: II haven't the
nerve. used to work with a lot of
those old chaps over there, and-really
1 haven't the nerve to upset their old
traditions
But somebody must do it," they
urged.

GREATER THAN HELEN KELLER
The Marvellous Accomplishments of
the French Girl, Marie Heurtin.

fHaTDer S BaZar.)
A woman we have been extremely in
terested in lately, a young French girl,
rather, is Marie Heurtin. a French Helen
Keller, but even more wonderful than
Helen Keller, since the latter lost the
senses of sight, speech and nearing at the
age of IS months, so that the two senses
lett may be aided by unconscious cereora-
ton, based upon early impressions gained
before these senses disappeared Marie
Heurtin, however, unlike Laura Bridg-
man, Helen Keller or Martha Obrech, was
born deaf, dumb and blind Up to the
time when she was 10 years old she was
apparently not only completely idiotic,
but also most impossible little person,
who lay down on the ground and rolled
at the slightest thing which d1spleased
her. shrieked for hours together, only
slapped people if they tried to show her
any tenderness and was altogether so NO.

fascinating story than that of the means
by which these devoted sisters first tanned
the little shrew, then taught her. Sister
St Marguerite it was who gave her her
first idea. Marie Heurtin had brought
away with her a little knife which she
seemed to love. Sister st. Marguerite, who
had got the ehild's confidence in a way,
took away the knife, making meanwhile
in the hand of the little girl the sign
which in the deaf and dumb language
means knife Then the knife was put
back into her hand with the same sign.
AFTER time Marie t1euTLlH To
comprehend that there was a connection
between the sign and the object From
the knife Sister St. Marguerite went on
to repeat the same experience with the
fruits the little girl liked best. In the
end she understood that for everything
there was some particular sign. by which
it should be designated.
Learning to read and write for the lit
tie Marie was similar in detail to what
we know of all deaf mutes. 1t is when
she becomes for us an individual, how
ever, when we find a personality looming
through this strange mist which envei-

ADJUSTMENTS.

The slump in theatrical business
seems to be on in earnest. Even
though yesterday was too fine a day
TO spend indoors, that can hardly ac-
count for the terrible falling off at
both houses. At the Blair matinee
there was less than $100 in the house
and the Grand in the afternoon held
positively the smallest gathering of the
season, which may be deemed a sign
of distress when some of the houses
the Cummings company played before
are recalled. The evening brought on
an improved condition at both places
of amusement, but nothing in which
the management could take any COM
fort.
Miss Blair presents Carmen" at the
Theatre Wright It is probably her
greatest piece. The story of the cigar
cite girl is, of course, familiar to
everybody, and the impression is quite
general among those who have seen
Miss Blair that the character is well
adapted to her qualities.

A NOVEL Scheme.

The Juvenile Instructor managers have
recently inaugurated unique scheme
to invite attention to their advertising
pages. A phrase is taken from one of
their advertisers copy and made into
rebus or illustrated sentence, a solution
for which a prize Is given. In the Feb
rIIary number the puzzle was too easy,
and as a result their mail was fairly
eeluged with answers, but one patent fact
was demonstrated. the Juvenile Instructor
is read-for answers were received from
Utah Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Arizona,
Colorado. New Mexico and other states,
while answers are still coming in from
more distant readers.

GEORGIA GETS BIG LUMP.
VIII Pull Down $27,e14 of National
Militia Fund.

Washington, Aug. 28.-The appor-
tionment of the militia appropriation
to the Southern states is as follows:
Alabama, S23, 1866; Arkansas, s16.993;
Florida, 1885, Georgia, $27.614; KEN
lucky, $27.614: Louisiana, $16.993;
Maryland, SIG, 993; Mississippi, $19.117:
Missouri, s36,111; North Carolina, $685.
1856; South Carolina, $19,117; Tennessee,
$25, 400; Texas, $31, 1862: Virginia, SIS, 400.
The statement given out by Secre-
tary Root contains a copy of the act
making the appropriation for this pur-
pose, and also contains a copy of the
regulations governing the apportion-
ment of this fund among the several
states. The allotment to any state
will not be available for use until a.
satisfactory return has been made to
the Secretary of War. showing that the
state has the number of regularly en-
listed. organized and uniformed, active
militia required by law. The law pro-.
vides that no state shall be entitled
to the benefits of this appropriation
unless the number of regularly enlist
ed militia shall be at least 100
representative to which the
state is entitled in the Congress of
the United States. 1t also provides
that all arms and equipments furnished
for the militia under this act shall
be delivered to the Governor of each
state, and shall be accounted for by
him annually to the Secretary of War
This act was passed with a view to
stimulating and encouraging the es-
tablishment of a thoroughly organized
and equipped militia, to be ready for
any emergency which may arise. The
experience at the outbreak of the
Spanish. war showed the government
the necessity of being more generous
in it's aid to state militia organizations
1t is believed at the War Depart
ment that the military enthusiasm
which now prevails so generally
throughout the United States, and es-
pecially in the Southern states, will be
glad to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity which the government offers
the state militia to become thoroughly
equipped with the most modern i'm
plements of war.

FOR LYNCHING A NEGRO.
George Howard, White, Goes to PEN
itentiary for Life.

Wetumpka, Ala, Aug. 2S.-George
Howard, a member of the mob which
lynched Robert White, a negro, in this
county some months ago, was to-day
CONVICTED of murder in the first degree
and was sentenced to life imprison-
ment.
The case was called in the Circuit
Court. After the states evidence was
submitted the attorney for the defense
ANNOUNCED that Howard desired to make
a statement to the court. Upon being
sworn Howard admitted the participa-
ton in the lynching and gave the
names of the members of the mob,
which numbered thirteen. After being
out almost two hours the jury returned
a verdit''of guilty of murder in the first
degree and fixed the penalty at life i'm
prisonment
Howard is one of the most prominent
farmers in his section of the country
White was accused of shooting a white
man.
The cases against six others accused
of being members of this mob are now
being tried. All others who are alleged
to have been members of the mob have
left the country.

convention, this afternoon, after a
night conflict and morning of uncer-
tainty, nominated the above ticket,
adopted a platform in harmony with
party policies and made a new record
for industry in the disposal of bust
ness.
The action of Gov Savage in paro1-
ing from the penitentiary ex-State
Treasurer Joseph S. Barley furnished,
as was expected, the only real excite
ment of the convention. An effort to
dispose of the vexed question of an in
dcrsement or disapproval of the Gov
ernors action, outside the convention
signally failed. Supporters of the
Governor did succeed in having all
resolutions referred to the COMMITTEES
CT platform without debate, but the
committee itself reported in turn
against the parole, and, while not i'm
pugning the motives of the Governor,
demanded the return of the ex-treas-
urer to the penitentiary and was sus-
tanned by the convention.
The final chapter in the release of
ex-State Treasurer BARLEY came late
this evening when Gov. Savage, fol-
lowing the action of the republican
state convention, this afternoon can
celled the parole of the ex-Treasurer,
surrendered him to the sheriff of the
county and ordered his return to prison.

en- out last Friday. said the $1O7, 900
missing and unacoounted for when the
Governor counted his cash Aug. Is, was
deposited in banks under his direction,
which is forbidden by law.
All the banks of Jackson having de-
MED that they had any of this money
on deposit, the Governor last night
wrote Treasurer Showers for a COM
plete statement as to the place where
the deposits were made and all things
connected with the transaction.
Treasurer Showers answer to Gov.

of the cash missing on Aug. Is is very
long document. but tells nothing. He
declines to name the banks wherein
the cash was deposited.
The Governor, the auditor, revenue

pert accountant also will be employed
at once to overhaul the books, and on
his report custer proceedings will be in
stituted against the treasurer for vio-
lation of the law by failure to keep the
money in the treasury.
Mr.. Showers has retained counsel.
and will endeavor to show that he is
guilty of no crime. Mr.. Carlisle, the
new treasurer, is alderman of the city

the discharge of his duties.
