him depart for New Hampshire and
Maine, giving him a hearty cheer as
the train pulled out. The President
left Boston at S:35 o'clock. On the way
to this place the towns turned out i'm
mense crowds and gave a rousing
cheer as the train passed.
The President made an address at
the Common, in which he paid a high
compliment to ex-Goy Allen of Porto
Rico, who is a resident of Lowell. He
said:
Now, you don't hear much about
our government of Porto Rico, because
there is nothing sensational in a COM
plete success. Under Gov. Allen and
since under his successor Porto Rico
has been governed so well that it is
not entitled to any space in the news

then, to see to it that we give Cuba

experience demonstrated his popular

Everywhere at the regular stops
and the smaller stations along the
road the people were strenuous in the
efforts to catch a glimpse of him or
to hear him speak, and at Haverhili,
Mass, this desire assumed such a form
that the crowd completely OVERRIDE
the police and surrounded the Presi-
dents carriage, making it difficult for
it to advance.
The days journey was not without
its incidents. AS the President was
about to board his car at South Law
renee, Mass, after delivering his ad-
dress, the leader of the band stepped
up and made himself known to him.
He said his name was Banan, for

rificiat ram. 1t was also enjoined by
the Levitical law that in the cleansing
of lepers the priests should anoint
them with the blood of the trespass
offering and oil on the tip Of the right
ear and upon the thumb of the right
hand and the great toe of the right
foot, and that he should use his thumb
in performing this therapeutic cere-
mony.
Amongst the Chinese Tartars, Nieu-
hotf, in his Embassy to China" states
that the reward for undaunted courage
was the permission to wear an ivory
ring on the thumb, and was only be-
slowed on the most distinguished war
riors by the Emperor himself So inn
portant was the thumb considered by
the Greeks that 1t was called the An
ticheir, or opposite hand, on account
of its strength and usefulness, whilst
amongst the Romans in the theaters
and gladiatorial combats ii was used
to demonstrate applause or disappro-
baton. Every classical scholar knows
although the contrary is the vulgar
opinion, and which error may be seen
depicted in Gerome's celebrated picture
that when in the amphitheater the
excited people turned down their
thumbs, ii indicated that the life of the
vanquished combatant, because of his
heroic attack and defense, was to be
spared the fatal blow, whereas If they
We're turned upwards death was to be
his doom.
Horace, in one of his epistles, tells
US that when the high class Romans
at theatrical performances wished to
express their pleasure, both the thumb
nails were brought into contact, thus
making tickling noise, which was
gratifying to the actors. This habit Is
still in vogue among us, but it is used
only when anything said or done calls
for faint praise or languid approba-
ton.
Among our ancestors 1t was CUSTOM
airy in the drinking of healths to pour
out the last drop in the cup or tank
ard upon the left thumb nail, to show
that the draught had been fully quaff-
ed. This was called super nugulum, or
on the nail. Bishop Hall, in his Mum
Gus alter ct idem," alludes to this GUS
tom when ne makes the Duke of Ten
derbelly exclaim, Let never this
goodly formed goblet of wine go jov-
tally through me-" and then he set it
to his mouth, stole it off every drop
save little remainder, which he was
by custom to set upon mis- thumbs nail
and lick 1t off.

POLICE HAVE SWIFT CHASE.

Emory Floyd, Wanted in South Car
DINA, Captured at Waycross-Ex-
citing Scene in Streets
Waycross, Ga, Aug. 26.-After a
most exciting chase after a fleeing
fugitive, Emory Floyd. white man
was captured by two Waycross police
officers and Constable Highsmith this
afternoon. Floyd has been badly
wanted in Conway, S. c., for more
than a year past for horse stealing.
There are at present five warrants out
against him at his old home in Con-
way and it is said that two sealed
sentences are also awaiting his ap-
pcarance at that place.
He is said to have been a WELT do
citizen of Conway, where he owned a
livery stable. Some of his transactions
in selling other persons horses soon
got him into trouble, and he skipped
the place. About a year ago the Way
cross police were furnished with a
description of the man and requested
to keep a lookout for him.
About o'clock this afternoon Floyd
was seen on the streets by S. E. Can
non of this city. who formerly knew
him in Conway. Mr.. Cannon imme-
diately notified Sheriff Mcclellan and
Policemen Cottingham and Mcclellan.
The officers soon located Floyd and
placed him under arrest.
Just as the officers started from the
passenger depot to the Jail, the pris-
oner suddenly wrenched away and
commenced running down the railroad
track through the Atlantic Coast Line
yard. The officers kept in close pur-
suit, but the fleeing man was too swift
for them. Several revolver shots were
fired at Floyd. but this did not check
his speed
Constable Highsmith. who was in
his buggy headed the man off, and
succeeded in capturing him near the
freight depot. The revolver shots on
the principal street of Waycross
stirred up every one jim the neighbor-
hood. and y hundred or more persons
had joined p the chase after the flee
ing man before he was captured.
Floyd when first arrested, claimed
that his name was Gregory and that
he was from Virginia. He later ac-
knowledged that he was the man the
officers wanted, and stated that for
the past year he had been living in
Montgomery, Ala, and that he came
to Waycross on an excursion train
yesterday.

FIorida's Governor DeplOres death

FIorida's Governor DeplOres Death
of Gen. Dickson.
Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 26.-Adjt.
Gen. Foster has issued the following
general order relative to the death of
Gen. j. j. Dickson:
with profound sorrow the COM
mander-in-ch announces to the
Florida State Troops the death of
Gen. j. j. Dickson, which occurred at
his home in Ocala on Saturday.
Gen. Dickson commenced his mill
tary career by serving in the militia
of South Carolina. AS a young man
he came from that state to Florida,
and, at the outbreak of the Civil War
he rendered his services to this state
and was commissioned a first lieuten-
ant of artillery. Later he raised a
company of cavalry. which was desig-
mated Company H, Second Florida
Cavalry, and as commanding officer
of this company rendered service
which distinguished him as one of the
most daring and successful of the
South's defenders. His gallant ex-
ploits soon won for him national rep
utation. and a lasting place in the
hearts of his devoted and equally he
TOlC followers.
Though many times offered promo
ton in the Confederate army, it was
characteristic of the man that out of
Difference to the wishes OF the people
of his state, he should prefer to. re-
main with his little band and continue
operations in a field which 1t was be-
lieved none but he could fill.
Gen. Dickinson has left a priceless
heritage to the people of Florida in
the memory of a life which, both in
peace and war, was a shining ex-
ample of citizenship. To men of arms
he has left the inspiration of a record
for military achievements in which the
word failure has no place.
In 1877 Gen. Dickson was appointed
adjutant general of Florida, and serv-
ed one term. In 1888 he was appointed
major general of militia.
THE funeral will occur in Jackson
vile on Tuesday, and in recognition
of his services to the state, and as a
mark of respect to his memory, the
flags upon all state armories will be
displayed at half-staff until after the
funeral, or until sunsettof that day.
THE commanding officer of the First
Battalion of the First Infantry will
provide a funeral escort.

rs CENTS IN A MARES SHOULDER.
A Veterinarian Thinks The Coin
Worked Up From the Animals


From the New York Tribune.
Newark veterinarians are puzzling
over the case of mare in the stable
of Ezra Jacobus Of No. POI Halsey
street. The animal was bought last
May by Taylor g. Co. of No. 923 Broad
street, for business purposes. Five
weeks ago the colored hostler noticed
a swelling on the mares shoulder, and
treated 1t with liniment but without
effect. Last week. as the swelling
became painful to the animal, DR..
James c. Corlies, a veterinarian, was
called in, and he decided that some
foreign substance had been lodged
under the skin. He applied cocaine
to the spot and made an incision with
his scaIpel, and was astonished when
q silver quarter of the date Of 1898
dropped out of the wound. As there
had been no scar on the place con-
cealing the coin, 1t was evident that
it had not been inserted. 1t was only
five weeks ago that the lump began TO
form on the mares shoulder.
ne owner of the mare remembers
that when he bought her there was a
left forefoot, and that the hoof was
stuffed with oakum to relieve some
injury. The theory is that the mare
stepped upon the edge Of the quarter
and that 1t penetrated her hoof through
the wound, and gradually worked its
way up to the shoulder.

THE GAYNOR-GREENE CASE.
A Leading Canadian Regrets That
Extradition Was Refused On m
TechDicnlity.
From the Toronto Globe.

Technicnlity.
From the Toronto Globe.
Two prominent members of the Que
bee bar have adopted the almost un-
precedented course of criticising the
decision of a judge-namely that of
Judge Caron in the Greene-Gaynor
case. 1t must be regarded as unfor-
tunate that anything Of this kind
should have happened, for the case
had already occasioned remark which
we all felt was uncalled for. but the
criticism will be regarded by those
who INDUCED in 1t az not beside the
mark, now that two Canadian counsel
of eminence have publicly challenged
the judgment of the court.
We cannot share for moment the
suspicious to which currency was Civ
en- by one of the American officers
connected with the case. And feeling
that, we regard 1T as all the more to
be regretted that the application for
the extradition of these two men
should be refused on a technicality.
The real object of the extradition laws
is to prevent lawbreakers from max
ing refuge OF the one country from
the justice of the other. Both coun-
tries are civilized communities, and
each can trust that accused persons
who may be rendered up will get the
benefit in the country of trial Of fair
hearing and humane laws. Canada has
certainly no desire to extend hospitality
to or be a harborage for wrong-doers
from the United States If 1t be pos
sible to commit a crime in either coun-
try by which the criminal enjoys great
monetary gain and yet is not amen
able to the extradltion laws, ii Is time
the treaty was amended.
In any case 1t is to be hoped that
an appeal will be heard, 50 as to give
not the faintest color of suspicion that
the ancient character of this land for
the strict and impartial administra-
ton of the laws has in any measure
passed away
