Few Americans are aware Of the fact

20 a German scholar In 1907 Martin
Waldseemuller. also known as Hyla.
comylus. Of St. Die. in the Vosges,
edited a book called "CosmographiR
Introductio." In which he gave a trans
lation Of Amerigo vespucers descrIp
ton Of his voyages.
That was Just the time when Ameri
gO's fame filed the world. while Colum'
bus disgrace overshadowed his merit,
and evidently his name had never
reached the quiet village In the Vosgea
when AmerigO trumpeted forth his OVID
glory. 30 Hylacomylus proposed that
since the new continent was. after all
not a part OF the Indies, no name would
suit Il better than that OF bis famous
explorer. Amerigo.
The book was read far and wide, and
80 quickly was the proposition accepted
that. when later on the true discovereI
was known. the name was already
rooted TOO deeply in general use 10

Mr.. GOULD;S REJOINDER
TO HAWLEY AND HARTMAN.
Contest for Control of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Compnny-Stock
Makes Sensational Rise.

NEW YORK, November 25-Mr. Could
expected rejoinder to the circular is
sued yesterday by Messrs. Edwin Haw-
ley and Z. H. Hartman, relative to the
use Of his name in sending out requests
for proxies to be used at the approach
ing election of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Sompany was given out tonight
in the form of a statement made to the
press.
Mr.. Gould declares the circular in ques-
ton to be lin some respects a direct mis-
statement of facts, and in others an in
genuous perversion of the truth" and
expresses the conviction that it was sent
out in order to secure control of the
property by Messrs. Hawley and Har-
rir1an, to the exclusion of himself.
SENSATIONAL RISE.
The stock of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company, over the control of which
sthere is a contest in progress made a
sensa tional rise to-day on the Stock En-
change, advancing points during
squirt in the market. The stock was sold
at Sc at the close of the market yesterday.
1t opened at SIS IL this morning. but later
went up to 81, and then receded, selling
at 81 IA shortly before 2 o'clock. 1t was
reported to-day that the conflicting in
terests were making every effort to secure
control Of the stock to vote at the an
nual meeting to be held in Colorado on
December 10th. Large amounts OF stock
were borrowed at good rates, with a
proxy accompanying each certificate, and
purchases Of stock were said to have been
made outside the exchange on the same
basis.
49, The transfer books of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company are closed, and stock
purchased now does not carry voting
power unless a proxy accompanies it.
NO FIGHT, SAYS HANVLEI.
Edwin Hawley was asked to-day wheth-
or the fight in Colorado Fuel would eN-
tend to the western railroads, and he
replied:
There isn't any fight that I know Of.
Mr. Osgood. of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company, was not at his Office
when a call was made there to-day, and
it was said that. he was in conference
with George J. Gould.

HEARD AT sNICKERsVILLE.
Some Interesting Gossip About the
Cattle Men and Their Profits.

BLUEION ONT. VA, November 2-(Spe-
cial.)-I have been reading your valuable
paper for long time, but have never
seen anything from our neighborhood,
Bluemont, better known to your readers
as Snickersville. This was quite a his
toricaI place during the war between the
States Our county, Loudoun. has al
ways been a great cattle county. Thou
sands of cattle are brought in here. to
sell to the farmers, from southwestern
Virginia, Tennessee, Ohio. and other
places every fall, and this one season is
not an exception. There are many cattle
here now, and they meet with ready sales.
at IL to cents per pound The farmers
have made great profits on their stock
this year, getting as much as 81 per head
on some cattle:
i Townsend Frazier bought $50 cattle EAST
fall After keeping them about eleven
months he sold them for IL cents, Wnen
they weighed 400 pounds more per head
than when they were first bought, an
average of s34 per head. The cattle
through the winter were fed about five
barrels per head out in Inc open fields.
with q rick Of wheat straw to run to.
They were grazed on bluegrass sod, al
though this was an extremely dry sea
SON The cattle did we'll, and Mr.. Frazier
says it was one of the best seasons IN
his experience to make money on all
kinds of stock.
There was not more than three: fourths
of corn crop, and very little hay raised
this season here.
