The Plant System Sold.

The announcement is made by d.

dated under the name and charter OF
the Atlantic Coast Line system. The
general management Of the Coast
Line will operate the entire system,
all the lines OF both systems being
merged into one great system OF rail
roads, aggregating 5000 miles. For
the past month there has been con-
siderable talk about the consolidation
Of these two systems. It was reported
at one time the Pennsylvania system
was at the back OF the deal and that
it would absorb both the Coast Line
and the Plant System. Again 1t was
reported that the Southern railway
was about to obtain possession OF the
two systems and there were some who
gave credence to this report, largely
on account of the intimate traffic
connections established about a yeal
ago between the Southern and Plant
system.

TO WED ITALIAN SCULPTOR.
cille Blackburn Lane, DauGh-
ter of Senator Blackburn.

The engagement is announced Of
Chevalier Trentenove, the sculptor, to
Mrs. Lucille Blackburn Lane, the
youngest daughter of Senator Joseph
E. Blackburn, OF Kentucky. and widow
OF Thomas Z. Lane, formerly Of New
ark, \. j.. bat more recently of Wash
ington. This announcement comes as
8 great surprise, as the talented ltal-
ian was said to be engaged to a widow
of his own nationality, to whose pat
ronaye he is supposed to owe much of
his success.
The social and artistic career of
Chevalier Trentenove in Washington
covers a period of six years, during
which time he has been before the pub
lie in many roles. His statue Of Pere
Marquette, executed for the state of
Wisconsin and now standing in stat
uary hall in the capitol, was his first
and one of his greatest works in Amer
ica. For several years he and Prince
Troubetzkoy, the portrait painter, oc-
cupied suite of studios in the Cor
coran building and made their studio
musicales and teas one of the features
of the season. More recently he has
been prime mover in the Fencing club,
which has achieved some little prom
inence.
Two years ago he took out natural
ization papers and shortly after sur
prised the world by suing for divorce
from a wife in Italy, of whose exist
ence his American friends had never
heard.
Trentenove having been absent from
Washington since last June. and Mrs.
Lane being in deep mourning, the an
nouncement Of the approaching mar
riage will come as surprise to many
friends of both parties. Mrs. Lane is
young, handsome and possessed Of
charming personality and moderate
fortune. Her husband committed sui
eide at their home on z street little
more than a year ago.

WHALE LAUGES AT RIFLENEN.
from the Bullets from Hum
dredp OF Guns

Montreaps most recent and distiu-
guished visitor, the whale, which has
been disporting himself about the port
for the past few days, is still in the
harbor, apparently so taken with the
harbor commissioners recent i'm
provements that he is unwilling to
leave. This, too, in spite of the fact
that Invitation after invitation has
been sent after the poor brute in the
shape of rife bullets of all shapes and
sizes.
From early morning until night the
Guard pier is filed with alleged sports
men, who wish to get shot at the
whale. So far the shots appeared to
have no great effect beyong making
him keep under water for abnormal
periods of time. Even Savage rifles
with nickel bullets have been expert
mented with; probably not less than
thousand pounds have been expended
upon him all told. OF course, if he
stays about the port long enough, some
one will in time land shot in a vital
place, and then it will be all over with
the big visitor from the deep. Mean
time he appears to stand it fairly well.

ing in extended form the opinions al
ready expressed. He predicted that
the present century would see the
United States the greatest and most
powerful commercial and industrial
nation in the world. IF France is
wise," he said, "she will not delay

limited, and ever increasing field OF
commercial enterprise beyond the At

SAVED BY A DEER.
Woman Lost in Adirondacks Kept
Alive by Friendly Beast.
Prevents Her from Perishing with
Cold by Warmth OF HIS BODY
Only to Be Shot to Death In
Morning by o Hunter.

Miss Margaret Mcconnell, Of Utica,
y. Y, who was lost for more than 81
hours recently in the Adirondack Tor
est. made friends with i big deer and
was saved from deaf by the warmth
OF the animal. She had wandered
about, following one trail and then an
other, and finally waded waist deep
into brook to reach an abandoned
''lean-to'' or shack built by hunters.
Chilled through Miss Mcconnell
crcuched in this shack all nIgnt and
crept out, cold and stiff, in the morn
ing. She had not dared to sleep for
fear that she would never awake, she
was so wet and cold. While wander
ing about in the morning she heard
the screech of locomotive whistle
and tried to find the railroad track,
but was unable to do so.
That night" she said, II could find
no other shelter than a large rock
leaning over hollow in the ground.
l pulled some boughs into the open
ing and covered myself over with
them and lay quietly for at least an
hour. AS l lay there large buck
came near and appeared very tame.
reached out my hand and touched his
head or neck Soon he left me and in
a moment returned with doe and
fawn. They were very much afraid
of me, but the buck seemed not in the
least alarmed. Finally he came and
lay down beside me. This is without
doubt the one thing that saved my
life.
The big deer remained with me all
night and in the morning was in
sight most of the time. About noon,
as l suppose, and while was en-
gagged in rubbing my feet, heard a
shot, saw the deer bound into the air
and fall. I tried to rise, but could
not. shouted and finally saw man
coming my way. Ny first words were:
Have you shot my big deer
The hunter, whose name I learned
was Fred Reber and who lives in
Boonville, and his companions carried
me to their camp.
Il am going to ask Mr.. Reber for
the head of the deer which gave its
life for me-"

Tall Hats Are Unhealthy.

The controversy as to the wearing
of the tall silk hat wakes warm.
Lord Ronald Sutherland Gewer adds
his views in long article in the Lon
don Tattier. First" he says, Il be-
lieve that headgear to be unhealthy.
It is bad both for the outside and the
inside of the head. Badness, which
is so universal in what are called the
upper classes. in contrast to the hair
covered scalp of the poorer, is main
ly due to the tall hat. AS to bad
effects on the brain, there is the high
authority of Dr.. Forbes Winslow, who
says that the wearing Of the tall hat
is partly the reason for insanity,
which is on the increase"

PLANT CoRN.-The Yorkyiue
Enquirer, in speaking Of the tempta-
tion of the present cotton market in
ducing the farmers to plant larger
crop of cotton than they otherwise
contemplated, impresses upon its
readers the fact that while the present
advance in cotton may have its effect,
the price of corn is "out of sight"
We do not see why the advance IN
corn should not influence the farmers
to plant a larger crop. for crop OF
corn can be raised more cheaply than
cotton. If the same attention IS
given to the corn crop, or as much
time devoted to it as is given to cot
ton. the farmers would all have corn
to spare.

TOWN OFF IN DATES.
Curious Tangle IN Which Sweden,
u. T., Finds Itself By Use OF Last
Years Almanac.

Almanacs scattered broadcast in the
town of Sweden, y. Y, with the month
of November printed from an old plate
have badly mixed up the entire pop
ulation. Supervisor Sutphin came to
Rochester the other day to attend
meeting of the board of supervisors
under the impression that it was Fri
day. When convinced that November
21 this year came on Thursday he was
dumfounded. 1t seems that the whole
town is 4 day ahead.
Last Sunday all the stores in Sweden
we're open under the impression that
it was Saturday and the usual Satur-
day business rush took place. On Mon
day the people had attended worship
under the impression that it was Sun
day. Supervisor Surphin is author
ity for the statement that on Sunday
he and the Baptist minister went fish
ing. He also states that there were
several huskirg bees. winding up with
. big dance on Sunday night.
Rochester newspapers received nu-
merous complaints from Sweden sub
scribers on account of the papers be-
ing day late. The complaints were
incomprehersiole until Sweden's su-
pervisor came to the city the other day
and explained the situation. He says
it will take several weeks to straighten
the calendar out in the town.

A Shocking Death.

Mrs. Hattie Steedley, wife Of Mr..
J. P. Steedley, of the Cope section,
died d most horrible death on last
Saturday afternoon, after suffering
untold agonies for several days. On
Monday, March 10, Mrs. 'Steedley was
directing hand on the place how She
wanted her garden fence, which had
been blown down, fixed. In walking
around the old fence as it lay on the
ground she accidentally run a small
nail through her shoe in her foot. She
went in the house and did what she
thought was proper to heal up the
wound. which was very small one,
and which had bled very little. In
fact she did not attach much impor-
tance to the matter, until her foot be-
gan to swell very much. After being
poulticed the foot resumed its usual
size and the wound seemed to be get
ting on nicely but such proved not to
be the case, as about ten days after
the accident she was taken with severe
pains in her neck and shoulders. Mr..
Steedley called in his family physician
at once, but Mrs. Steedley gradually
grew worse, and, as above stated, she
passed away on last Saturday after
noon. Tetanus, caused by the nail
wound, had set in, and in a few days
it did its awful work, and young
wife and mother was no more. All
that medical skill and love could do
was done to save her life, but in vain.
Her sweet spirit took its flight and is
now safe on the other side. Mrs.
Steedley was about twenty-three years
of age, and leaves husband and one
little daughter to mourn her DEATH
She was member of the Baptist
church and her loved ones have the
sweet consolation OF knowing that
she is waiting and watching for them
on the celestial shore. .-Orangeburg
