CHICKEN STARTS ON TRIP.
Rides on Top of the Mall Car on the
Southern Train.

Perched calmly and comfortably on
top of the mail car of the Southern train
for Washington as 1t rolled out of Biz
mingham yesterday afternoon was a
chicken OF good frying size.
How this feathered passenger come
there and what was Its destination. Its
sex or its pedigree will never be known.
It may be that in the swift flight of the
train 1t fell from Its high estate and was
crushed under the wheels or it may be
that 1t is now associating with its kindred
In some peaceful barnyard and telling
its story of adventure to listening COM
rades.
Or It may be that 1t is still clinging to
its flying perch, an interested OBJ
server OF the landscape along its jour-
ney.
MY GowdP' exclaimed a wistful look
ing Senegambian as the train crossed
Twentieth street. ITS time for all niggers
to leave now, the chickens are going"
dat fowl is sho' out of a nigger's
reach now" said another darby.
HE suttinly will have TO go mighty
fast to get away from you pigeon-roost
niggers," said a third.
A large crowd gathered and watched
the journey of his or her chickenship
until the bird was obscured in smoke
from the vanishing train.

GOVERNOR ODELL
SEES PRESIDENT
SAYS HIS VISIT WAS PURELY OF
A SOCIAL NATURE-SAYS CAN
DIDATE FOR LIEUTENANT GOV
ERNoR HAS NOT BEEN CHOSEN.

Oyster Bay, August 14.-Governor Odell
of New York, was the presidents guest
at luncheon today at Sycamore Hill. The
governor arrived at Oyster Bay in the
private car of President Baldwin, of the
Long Island railroad attached to the rs
o'clock train. He was unaccompanied and
his visit was evidently not known in adj
vance to the citizens of this place, for
no official of the town was at the depot
to greet him. The presidents trap was
in waiting and the governor was driven
directly to the presidents home.
Before starting for Sycamore Hill Gov
ernor Odell stated that his visit was pure
ly social, that he had received an invita-
ton from the president three weeks ago
to take luncheon with him and that this
was the first opportunity he had had
of accepting It, He said he did not know
what subjects he and the president would
discuss.
When the governor returned to the sta
ton TO take the Ala o'clock train back to
New York he was in very good humor and
In reply to a request from the Associated
Press for a statement as to his VISIT
said:
IT have no statement to make further
than to say that / had a most pleasant
talk with the president, during which we
discussed a number of questions affecting
the political situation in the state"
He said that the candidate for lieuten-
ant governor had not been decided upon.
He also stated that he did not know who
the candidate would be, adding that he
wished he did possess this information.
In fact no conclusion of any kind was
reached he said. Referring to the plat
form that is to be adopted at the coming
state convention, he said 1t probably
would commend President Roosevelt's ad-
ministration and that 1t ought to do So
He did not know what the platform would
contain, but he would endeavor TO adapt
himself TO it. When asked what the
platform would say regarding the tariff,
Governor Odell replied that he did not
know He added that the lumber for
the platform was all ready and that all
was needed now was a carpenter.
Congressman Lowering, of the Twelfth
Massachusetts district took luncheon
with President Roosevelt.

PAINFUL WOUND.
Carl Armour Falls Against Oar Lock
In Boat at East Lake.

Carl Armour, said to be employed
in the shoe department of Chalifoux' s,
fell last night while stepping from a
boat at East Lake and the sharp end
of the oar lock was run into his leg
below the knee.
The wound was very painful, and
may give serious trouble, but it is
not thought Armour will be kept away
from his work. 1t seems that as he
was stepping from the boat it careened
and he slipped, falling with his entire
weight on the oar lock. Physicians
were summoned and the wound was
treated Armour was then taken to
his residence at 945 Twelfth avenue.

Steps In Gaynor-Greene Case.

Quebec, August 14--There are no new
developments In the Gaynor-Greene case,
although the general impression In this
city is that the United States govern
ment will soon take some other proceed
ings in the matter
In the meantime both Messrs. Gaynor
and Greene are enjoying their liberty by
walking and driving around the city,
where they will probably remain for some
time to come as they have no Intention
whatever of removing from here. While
on their daily walks or drives they are
closely followed by a Quebec detective
who always keeps them in view so that
another attempt at kidnapping would
probably fail.
