Seven Principal Routes.

1t is a well known fact that the c..
M. & St. 2. Ry. system offers a great
many different routes between Chica-
go and st. Paul and Minneapolis. Its
main line between those points
is especially we'll known as the route
over which runs the famous "Pioneer
Limited" and the Government Fast
Mail Train.
There are six or seven other routes
over a number OF which are run
through coaches and sleeping cars,
which are almost as direct as the prin-
cipal main line.
These various routes traverse the
most interesting and attractive sec
tions of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota, including the celebrated
Lake Region" of Wisconsin, and
nous ''Dells" where is the most pic
turesque scenery in the Northwest.
The main line and several others
include from $50 to 300 miles of ro-
mantle and picturesque scenery along
the Mississippi river. On these yari-
Gus lines are located the most impor-
tant towns and cities in the North
west.
Both one way and special excursion
tickets between Chicago, st. Paul and
Minneapolis are honored via anyone
of these direct lines.
The teachers attending the Nation
al Educational Convention at Mime
apolis will appreciate and take adyan-
tage of this fact as they can have a
choice Of routes going and returning.

Speakers So Argue ON Naval Bill In
House.

Washington. May 13.-The naval
appropriation bill, which provides for
two new battleships, two armored
cruisers and two gunboats, and car
ries total of SIT ,650,000 was taken
up in the house yesterday Repre-
sentative Foss, Of Illinois, chairman
of the naval committee, in opening
the debate, sounded a note of warn
Ing against the overconfident belief
that our navy is invincible. He de-
clared that our victories at Manila
and Santiago were due to the fact
that we were contending with an ef-
fete and decaying nation and that
our strength far outmatched Spain In
those contests.
Mr.. Rixey, Of Virginia also spoke
for the bill, most of his time being
given to an argument for government
constructor of warships.
The conference report on the omni-
bus claims bill was rejected on the
ground that claims not considered by
either branch Of congress had been
inserted in the measure by the con-
ferees, and the measure was returned
to conference.

Archie McEachern, the well-known
champion bicycle rider of Toronto,
Canada, while being paced by motor
tandem yesterday afternoon at the

were ALI Boake and Robert b. Thomp
son, who have raced with McEacherh
for 10 years past
The effort yesterday afternoon was
to establish new mile record. Sew,
eral miles had been covered, when
the chain broke, and in the sudden
slowing up of the damaged tandem
McEachern collided with it and shot
In the air like a rocket. His head
struck against a projecting board

COLONEL HEMPHlLL
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Prominent Citizen Of Atlanta
Passes Away.
END CAME QUITE SUDDENLY.

Colonel Hemphil Had Long Been lden'
titled With Atlanta's Interests and
Was One of the Most Progressive
and Publc-spirited Men of the
City.
Atlanta Aug. 1S.-Coionel William
A. Hemphin died suddenly at his res
idence at II o'clock last night from
angina pectoris.
Death was absolutely unexpected.
While Colonel Hemphill had been in
declining health for some three months
past, his condition had not been such
as to cause alarm. He had been up
town every day and had never given
any of his friends an intimation that
he was other than his usual robust
self.
On Saturday Colonel Hemphill spent
some hours in the office Of his broth
er, Robert A. Hemphill, and it was
then for the first time that he spoke
of feeling badly He complained Of
a severe pain, and said that he thought
it would be best for him to see a doc
tor. This he did, and in few hours
was apparently all right.
On yesterday he drove to Trinity
church, but was not feeling sufficient
ly strong to attend the Sunday school
services and sent word to the chill
dren that he would be with them on
the following Sabbath. Returning
home, he took dinner cath his family
and was in a cheerful mood. At night
he ate light repast and sat up for
some hours afterwards, reading and
talking to his wife and children.
At II o'clock, while standing in his
room he was seized with the fatal
stroke. When assistance came the
hand of death had already touched his
brow
In his death Atlanta is deprived of
one of her best-known and most pub
lic-spirited citizens-a man who had
carved out his fortune by the sheer
force of his indomitable energy and
splendid ability. was a fine type
of the industry, enterprise and activ-
ity which has builded Atlanta into a
city of metropolitan proportions from
the most meager and unpromising Of
beginnings This public spiritedness
was one of his chief characteristics
and there was nothing he would not
do to help in the upbuilding of the city.
During the war Colonel Hemphill
served with valor until the battle OF
Gettysburg, when he was seriously
wounded
He was active in many business en-.
terprises, but was best known as pres.
| ident and business manager of The At
lanta Constitution for many years.
He is survived by wife and sever
al children.
