Champion Steak Eater.

At a beefsteak dinner given recent
1y at Palm Garden, Greene and Ham
burg avenues, among a few friends,
Michael Schmidt, cigar manufac-
turer, and Herman Hochwart, one of
the proprietOrS of the garden, entered
into contest as to who had the best
appetite, the contest being for a hand
some umbrella, says the Brooklyn
Times. The others at dinner watched
the contest with much enjoyment
The referee selected was Frank Ross,
a partner of Hochwart, who claims
to be the champion steak eater of
the country The contestants started
off eating three dozen Little Neck
clans, six plates of chowder, three
small 1oaves of rye bread, and then
the steaks were tackled. When Hoch-
wart had finished seven and half
pounds of steak he withdrew from
the contest, for Schmidt had just
finished eight pounds The umbrella
was then awarded to Schmidt amid
much applause Each of the contest

Beyond this beautiful ana ripplir

Beyond this beautiful ana ripping
stream, just oyer the edge of the gras-
sy knoll, there blossoms a rare and
richly tinted flower. They tell us that
it is so rarely beautiful. that it may
have blushed to life at the touch of an
angels kiss, and caught It's rosy flush
from burning star.
Beyond the painless mountains that
lift their blue peaks in the fading dis
lance they tell us there is a charming
valley that drinks the diamond dew of
morning and bathes in the liquid sun
beams, clad in verdure of everlasting
green and dotted all over with flowers
of every hue and shade.
Beyond the blue waves of the path
less ocean they tell us there is cline
from which the mellow Sunlight of
spring never departs, that it is laden
with the songs of birds of note and
pldmage, and peace, ease and plenty
rule the lives of people that never
heard of war or pestilence.
Beyond the curtain of darkness that
hangs over the gloomy night there
dwells picture of morning, a picture
of fresh, new life-that seems to wake
and move and breathe away the mists
and they tell us its foreground is hope
and its background is pleasure.
Beyond the acnes and struggles. the
fears, the disappointments, the bitter
trials and the wearying labors of Time
we are taught is an Eternity whose
higher possibilities give promise to
calmer hours and sweeter rest.

Breaks the Great Dam at Columbus ana
Floods EauIe and Phenix Mills.

COLUMBUS, Ga, Dec. 20 The CHAT
tahoochee river is on tremendous
rampage tonight, due TO heavy rains
in the upper part of the state. Inc
river is over thirty feet high, and is
still rising six inches an hour at the
| Columbus wharf.
Early tonight the stream was wlthih
three fees of the famous flood OF teo,,
ruarv. 1900, which broke the record
for many years.
This afternoon the river swept away
narts of the mammoth dam OF the 20
| iumbus Power Company, North Hlgn,,
lands. Later big gaps were created
ana at these places it is known that
the three feet of wooden wor.. on top
TO the dam was carried OIL. :.
From the fact that the river, a half
mile below the dam, rose four reef In
few minutes just after the break IL
is feared that some OF the masonry
work also was swept away Great pies
of drift wood and big trees landed
against the WAGON bridges this a1ter-
noon, and it took hard and constant
work to save them.
At 10 O'Clock tonight the water is
but four feet from the floor or the
Fourteenth street bridge, and II III gets
to the floor it is feared that the struct-
ure will give way. a circumstance thaC
would endanger the Eagle and PhenlH
dam and two lower bridges.
The water is running through the
of the Eagle and PhenlX
mills tonight, and the machinery and
betting is being removed. The lower
floor of the company's electric light
plant is also flooded.
: The power house of the Columbus
Railroad Company was flooded Just
after the North Highlands dam broke
this afternoon, and the town is in total
darkness tonight, not street light
burning. 1t was dangerous to walk
the streets without lantern.
