he has known but one death to result from
the sting Of this creature, and that was Of
a young woman who was In very bad
health at the time. In the same way
stories about centipedes are also exagger-
ated. We have NO dangerous species in
the United States. The tropical centipedea
bite with their maxilliped and possess
poison glands. The old stories that they
claws and leave a trail like fire when they
walk over the skin Of a human being are
entirely false. Their bite IL poisonous. but
the result is not serious.
In Central America and among the Mex

Southern California many harmless insects
are generally considered poisonous. This is
due to q special cause. It arises from the
fact that the blood Of these people Is 90

A TOUR ON BULLS BACK.

Commander Seaton Schroeder, governor
of Guam, has been enjoying the novel ex-
perience of riding bullback. He made q
trip around the remote island over which
he rules, using one of the native bulls
for steed. In letter received by Frank
w. Hackett the acting secretary Of the
navy, dated March e. Gov. Schroeder re-
fers to his bullback riding. The report
states:
THE condition of the island as affected
by the hurricane is improving a good deal.
The issue of rations has considerably
diminished. and it is hoped soon will be
stopped. S. M Damon, of Honolulu, sent
a generous gift of 80 sacks of seed sweet
potatoes, which have been distributed and
planted
The governor reports having made an
other journey on bullback about the island
to examine roads, The town Of Pago was
entirely destroyed by the hurricane, and
no attempt as1been made to rebuild it, A
few planters have built cottages on the
neighboring heights, but the majority have
come to Agana to settle:
Ynarajan has progressed considerably
during the past.two months. but will not
be restored to its usual condition for some
months yet. The Hhurch will probably not
be rebuilt. The spring rains have begun
and the governor s'journey on bullback was
attended with great inconvenience and dis
comfort, but The object was attained of

Oil Kings Wife in Atlantis
Struggling With Poverty

Late one night last October q frail, blonde
haired woman, accompanied by small boy,
walked Into the local rooms of the Con-
stitution building and asked for the city
editor, says the Atlanta Constitution. The
unusual sight Of woman In newspaper
office at that late hour-it was past II
o'clock-attracted attention. After intro
ducing herself as Mrs. A. F. Lucas. she
said:
my husband is Capt. A. F. Lucas, for
merly conductor on the Central road.
Some time ago he lost his position, and
since then he has been despondent. Sew
eral weeks ago he disappeared from Mont
gomery and have not heard from him. AT
the time OF his disappearance he was pracs
tically penniless. I am afraid that some-
thing has happened to -him-that he is sick
or dead. There~wa no reason for his leav-
work. want. to get you to publish the
facts It may lead to finding him.
The following morning brief local story.
telling the facts in the case. appeared in
the Constitution. That night, at the re-
quest of Mrs. Lucas, a telegram was sent
person as Capt. A. F. Lucas was an In
mate.
The story brought no news Of the missing
man. The telegram remained unanswered.
For weeks and months the whereabouts Of
Capt. Lucas was mystery to his wife and

idence at Atlanta They were the prey Of
all manner of doubts and conflicting fears.
Capt. Lucas, we'll known to hundreds Of
friends In Atlanta and throughout the states
Of Georgia and Alabama, seemed to have
vanished In thin air. While the wife and
children watched and waited for news Of
the missing man. hope grew less with each
anxious hour and finally ceased to be.
Today-eight months since the bleak Oc-
tober night when Mrs. Lucas called at the
Constitution ONCE to. inquire for her hus-
bandit turns out that Capt. A. F. Lucas,
sdiscoverer of the famous oil gusher at
Beaumont. Tex, a man reputed to be worth

because he had not the means to provide
for their support. ;

a multimillionaire, who knows not how to

II any of the black skum still adheres after
this treatment It is scraped of with knife.
The sponges are then squeezed and strung,
according to species, on a piece Of coarse
string about six feet in length. In string
ing them an effort Is made to have sponges
of a similar size on the same string. They
are then ready to be sold.
After a cargo has been secured, or pro-
visions are running low, the vessel makes
for what the captain considers the best
selling port. All sponges are now sold as
either Key West or tarpon sponges. The
method followed in disposing of the sponges
Is probably the most peculiar business pro-
cess in the country. During the morning
each captain lands his spOnges on the
sponge wharf. The buyers, who represent
large wholesale houses in New York, Phil
adelphia and st. Louis, are permitted to
look over and handle the punches as they
lie. at any time before or during the sale.
but are not allowed to weigh them. At
3 O'clock the sale begins. The auctioneer,
taking his place beside the first pile, an
nounces the number Of punches in it and
the variety. Each buyer then writes on
a slip of paper the amount he Is willing to
give for the pile and hands 1t to the auc-
tioneer. who lays it face downward in the
palm Of his hand. There is no continuous
competition, as each buyer is allowed but
one bid. When all bids are in the auctioneer
reverses them and reads of the amounts
of the highest and second highest bids.
The highest bid is then returned to the
buyer and he writes across the face of it
the owner of the pile. II the slip is ac-
cepted, that constitutes a sale, but should
the owner think the price too small he can
decline to receive it. The buyer cannot
recede from his bid, however. Under these
circumstances the pile cannot be put up
again until the next sale day. The bids
sometimes vary greatly on the same pile

UNITED BURRS AND HAMILTONS.
O >kinsman Of the Man Her Cousin
Killed.

Passing of Elisabeth Burr, Who Wed
Killed.
Bridgeport, Gonna woman died here
Monday whose love was instrumental in
bringing together the Hamilton and Burr
families, who became bitter enemies in 1904,
when in the famous duel Alexander Ham
ilton fell before the pistol of Aaron Burr.
The peacemaker was Mrs. Elizabeth Burr
Hamilton. She was 80 years old when she
died, and was fifth cousin of Aaron Burr,
third vice president of the United States,
whose bullet not only took the life of his
political enemy, but at the same time ruined
his own.
The feud between the two houses was
more than 80 years old when Alexander
Hamilton, lineal descendant Of him who
died on the dueink ground, met Elizabeth
Burr. She was beautiful and the young
man was smitten.
The Burrs afor among the Oldest of the
old Nutmeg statt5families. They settled at
FairAeid 350 years ago. and Fairlieid Aaron
Burr often went before and after the duel
to see his kinsmen.
Elizabeth Burr was born in the Burr
homestead on the Burr road, In the west
end of this city, on Nov. II, 1911. Her
parents were Amos and Abigail Burr.
Her first recollections were Of the great
vendetta. She was taught to hate Ham
ilton as she might rattlesnake.
A young man named Alexander Hamilton
of handsome face and courtly ways, met
Miss Burr at a ball. While their parents
hated each other, these young people did
not think it necessary to carry on the family
feud
When 1t became known that they loved
there was an outburst of indignation in
their families. Their marriage was fatty
forbidden. How they combated the parent
al opposition is now forgotten, but 1t ap-
pears that by dint Of that patience which
love sometimes shows they were able to
do SO.
AT any rate, they were married. The GER
emony took place in September, 1886, In the
old St. Johns Episcopal church. The off,
ciating clergyman was the Rev. Henry
Judah.
BY this union the Burr and Hamilton fam
lilies were brought together, and today their
descendants move in. harmony in the same
exclusive social set. 1t was Elizabeth
Burr's love that reconciled them.
Alexander Hamilton, the husband of the
woman who died yesterday, breathed HIS
last in 1857. He was a Mason Of high stand
ing. commandery in this city is named
after him.
Thirty years of the married life OF Mrs.
Elizabeth Burr Hamilton were embittered
by the illness and death of Ave of her chill
Gren. Two only were left to her and these
survive.-New York World.
