mathematical Pole has proved itself
sufficiently difficult to approach: (sec-

"Amundsen's ship is small-sfl1ailer
than that of most Arctic expeditions
but I see no reason why he should not,
with the help of sledges, be able to
penetrate to the magnetic Pole
wherever that may at present be-ei-
.ther on sea or land. Perhaps, however,
the most pleasing part of his plan is
that he will not content himself with
establishing a record, but has so ar
ranged matters that he can carry out
a systematic examination Of the whole
region surrounding the magnetic pole.
He will practically begin where James
Ross left off, and make magnetic
survey of the whole ground, thus es-
tabIishing whether the pole Is a mere
point, a more widely spread area, or
even several points. James Ross re-
searches were made with the imperfect
instruments of his time, and are doubt
less inaccurate in various respects. 10
carry out an examination of this dis
trict with a so completely up-to-date
equipment as Amundsen's is, as Pro-
fessor Schmidt has said, the most I'M
portant undertaking that lies within
the realm of magnetic research at the
present time. To find another man
who has so many and varied qualifica-
tons to solve the problem would be
difficult, indeed"

that it was well invested. At last the

after the case had been decided that it

Four minutes is a long time and much
can happen in four minutes. The other
day in the federal court at Hannibal,
Missouri, a shrewd lawyer used his
knowledge of the length of four minutes
in an interesting and profitable way. His
client was suing a railroad company
for $4,000. She claimed that a spark
from an engine caused the burning of
her deceased husbands business prop
erty at Ethel. The testimony showed
that train stopped at Ethel four min
utes the night of the fire, but also that
the fire was well under way before the
train pulled out, and the roads at
torneys argued that it was ridiculous to
maintain that a fire could be started
by spark and get well under way in
such short time The lawyer for the
plaintiff saw that it was necessary to
upset the notion that four minutes
isn't much and he did it. He took out
his watch, handed it to one of the jury
men, and asked him to signal when
four minutes had passed. The jury
men leaned over and looked at the
watch. Then they got tired and settled
back in their seats. The juryman hold
ing the watch lowered his hand and
rested it ON his knee. The attorney
shifted his feet a few times and sat
down in chair. The judge looked at
the clock and then out of the window.
A deputy marshal put his head in at
the door to see what the matter was
and waited the result of the curious

THE PRESIDENTS CONFEDERATE
KIN,

Comrade r. F. Armstrong of Halifax,
N. S., paid fine tribute to Captain j. D.
Bulloch, who died at Liverpool, Eng,
January 7, 1901. 1t was for copies of
the Veteran containing that sketch that
President Roosevelt wrote cordial ac-
acknowledgement, and in which he said:
My uncle, Captain Bulloch always
struck me as the nearest approach to
Colonel NeWcome of any man | ever
met in actual life" "In the September
Veteran" (says correspondent, you
describe an Outing with the presi-
dent in which you make allusion to
his esteemed and very worthy uncle,
Captain James D. Bulloch. President
Roosevelt had two uncles in the Con-
federate navy both distinguished, but
you mistake the one for the other.
Permit me to set you right as to the
services performed by these gallant of
ficers. Captain James d. Bulloch was
a lieutenant in the old navy of the date
of 1910 to 1341, and, after serving seve-
raj years as lieutenant, resigned his
commission and entered the merchant
service, commanding a steamer run
ming between New York and New Or
leans. The beginning of the war found
him in command of the steamship Bien-
Vile, and overtures were made to him
by the governor of Louisiana to turn
the ship over to the state authorities.
These, however he resisted, even to the
extent Of having his loyalty to the
southern cause suspected, and it was
not until he had satisfied his honor by
delivering his ship to her owners in
New York that he felt at liberty to
embrace the cause of his beloved south.
captain Bulloch was Immediately ap-
pointed commander in the Confederate
navy and sent to England to purchase
arms and ammunition for the army.
He accomplished his mission success
fully, and with the steamship Fingall
(afterward the ironclad Atlanta), point
ed the way to that illicit commerce,
blockade running, which afterward be-
came such factor in our unequal
struggle. Mr.. Davis knew the man,
aud Captain Bulloch was again sent
abroad to build and equip Confederate
cruisers. The Alexandria, Florida, AL
ALBANIA, Shenandoah and ironclad
Stonewall, all built and equipped by

The friends Of silver will be cheered
by the remarks of the London Statist,
which is of the opinion that there will
be a considerable recovery in the price
of the unfortunate metal after the be-
ginning OF the new year. 1t bases this
opinion on several things. One of them
is that as soon as the new year sets in
the stringency in the American money
market will come to an end. and the
reason which is supplied for forced sales
will therefore come to an end. A second
and a more powerful cause is the recu-
perative power that is being shown in
India. China is regaining its usual con-
dition, and business is going on fairly
satisfactorily. That being so, it is prob
able that China will be in a position to
take more silver than she has done of
late, and if both China and India buy
more freely there must necessarily be
a recovery in the silver market. No
doubt, also, there will be purchase of
silver for the French far eastern terri
tories, for the Russian government and
for other governments.
1t is not probable that silver will go up
out of sight, but even little rise will
be encouraging to its producers and its
political friends.

him. show his indefatigable persever-
ance; and all these ships were emf
nently suited for their purposes. Their
successful careers reflect great credit
upon the superior abilities of this IA
nous naval officer. The most nleagre
details Of the work. performed by Cap
tain Bulloch would occupy too much
space in your magazine. but when the
history of the Confederate navy comes
to be written no name shall stand high
er on the roll Of fame than that OF
James Dunwodie BulIoch.
Irvine Stephens Bulloch, a younger
brother. entered the Confederate navy
as midshipman, and in 1862 reported on
board the Alabama as one of her junior
officers. BY strict attention to duty he
rose rapidly, and acted as master or
navigating officer during most Of the
cruise of that ship. After the fight off
Cherbourg and upon the fitting out of
the Shenandoah, young Bull0ch was
commissioned master, and performed
the duties of navigating officer during
that eventful land immortaD cruise,
Where you make the mistake is in con-
founding the elder Bulloch with the
younger, who it was that served with
Semmes on the Alabama.
while I greatly admire the charac-
ter of Colonel Newcome as depicted by
Thackeray, his chiyalry, urbanity, high
sense Of honor, etc, yet there always
seemed to me something weak in the
portrait Now about Captain Bulloch
there was not aweak point, and ] be-
lieve him to have been the best all
round naval officer brought out by the
stress of the times in either navy, and
I doubt if any other officer could have
accomplished so much for the Confed
crate cause, which he loved so we'll. -

Il BOSTON NOTION.

They have notions in Boston, and
they aren't afraid to say something
when a notion hits them hard. Some of
the good people of that region have
been struck by the notion that the du-
ties on coal and beef should be at once
removed, and these two necessities Of
life placed on the free list. To-mor-
row, at noon, there will be a public
meeting at Faneuil Hall for the pur-
pose of making a demand on congress
that this action be taken. The meeting
is to be presided over by the Hon.
Robert Treat Paine, and among the
vice presidents are Charles Francis
Adams, ex-Judge Dunbar, William A.
CASTOR, Augustus Hemenway. Henry
L. Higginson, william H. Lincoln,
Jerome Jones, William B. Rice and
other distinguished citizens The meet
ing is to be addressed by the Hon.
Charles S. Hanlin, Eugene N. Foss, l..
u. BldlT, the rev. Df. Horton, samuel
w. Mendum, H. L. Schaefer and
others. The list of vice presidents and
speakers indicates that the gathering
will be non-political one, and it APP
pears that there are some Republicans
in Boston who think it is time to take
off the duty on coal and meat.
Of course this performance will be re-
garded as highly improper by the
friends and nourishers of infant indus
tries, but many who are suffering from
the present condition of things will well
come any movement that seems to be in
the direction of relief. The argument
is that il the duties on coal and meat
were taken off the repeal would result
in regulating the prices of those articles.
When it was known that they could
readily be brought here for sale if our
price was an excessive one, the effect
would be to check such an excess.

In Union township, Pike county,
Ohio, not vote was cast at the recent
election. When the polls opened in
that township there was an argument
between the Democratic and Republic
can judges as to who should place the
ballots in the box. 1t waxed very
warm, and the line of voters grew long
err and longer. AT last one of the Dem
ocratic judges sat down on top of the
ballot box and declared that if he
couldn't put the ballots in the box he
would see that no one else did. He
stuck there all day, and not a vote was
cast in the township.

LEATHERWoop AND WEAVER GET TOGETHER A LA JEFFRIES AS RESULT OF TRIAL IN JUs- TlCE couRT-LlE PASSED.

R. L. Leatherwood. attorney, and S. L. Weaver also an attorney. met Thursday afternoon In the elevator of the Jefferson County Savings Bank building. and in dulged in little pleasantly, a Ia Jeffries Neither of them was injured, but the bout is said to have been lively for several minutes
 The difficulty arose over the testimony in the case of Weaver vs Leatherwood in the court of Justice Abernathy. MT. Weaver accused MT. Leatherwood of tes- tifying to an untruth and Leatherwood as solemny affirmed that he swore to the truth. Weaver ia then said to have call ed Leatherwood a d. lie and grabbed him in the collar. The fight began in the elevator. which opens directly on the side walk. but ended on the pavement. The contestants do not wear any soreness of the unpleasantness.
 It will be remembered Leatherwood tes- tfed in the court that Weaver had re- ceived some money, which he. Leather wood claims, belonged to the firm, and failed to enter 1t on the books. Weaver claims the money was received for cases he had before Leatherwood became his partner. Thursday afternoon is the first time the two men have met since the trial MT. Weaver made the following statement:
 "'The first time l saw MT Lestherwood after the trial in Abernathy's court and after the charges he made against me was as he was fixing to take the eleva- tor in the Jefferson County Savings Bank. 1 told him that 1 had been his friend and did not believe he would tell or swear a lie, but that he had sworn one in Abernathys court.

 When arrived Thursday at the eleva- tor on the way to my office I found standing there Weaver and his body guards, Wacasey and Whatley. Weaver said: Leatherwood you kept on until you reflected on me- I replied: T have said nothing but that which is true (re- ferring to what was in the morning pa perl and further said that s10.O0O would not cancel what he owed, and he then said l was a liar and we clinched."
