HIS NAME A SECRET
HELD ONLY BY
HIMSELF
Ex-PosTMAsTER or RALEIGH, N
c., TAKES HIS STRANGE Sc
cRET TO THE GRAVE
WITH HIM.

RALEIGH. N. c.. Nov. 1.-THE re-
mains of Col A. w. Shaffer, ex-postmas-
ter of Raleigh and a man of state promi-
nence, were inferred here today. Strange
to say, not living soul, so far as can
be learned, knows Colonel Shaffer's given
name. Thirty-hve years he resided in
Raleigh, but his most intimate friends
were never able to learn what the initial
letters "a. W." stood for. Even his
widow confesses that she never knew.
Colonel Shaffer was born in Kiskaton.
N. Y, sixty-seven years ago. He came
south in the union army and settled in
Raleigh in 1857 He was talented as a
writer, astronomer civil engineer and
map maker He got up the best MAPS
Of North Carolina, Wake county and the
city of Raleigh that have been issued.
He always signed his name as simply
"a. w. Shaffer"Ito his work.
When President Harrison appointed
Colonel 'Shaffer postmaster here several
wagers were made that he would be
compelled to disclose his name. The gov
eminent required the full name In sub
scribing to the oath Of Office. This Col
sonel Shaffer refused to give and 1t was
only after considerable correspondence
that he was permitted to assume the Of
flee without telling his name. Colonel
ShafEer never gave any reason why he
kept his name a strict secret. Some OF
his friends often assigned as the cause
the conjecture that the "a" stood for
Ananias, but this was merely guess.

MRS. DUNCAN MARRIED
WILL PARK SATURDAY

Lying on her bed, slowly recovering
from an almost fatal attack Of nervous
prostration, Mrs Mollie Eady Duncan,
recently declared innocent of the mGrder
of her husband, James NJ. Duncan. po--
lieeman. whom she shot TO death while he
was attacking his son, was Saturday
morning married to William Park, pro-
prietor of the New Park hotel, at 10 Trim
fly avenue, and who was formerly con-
nected with the Alhambra hotel, on
Peachtree street.
Mrs. Duncan has been lying at the point
of death for many weeks. and 1t was
the tender devotion of Mr.. Park, whom
she had known for only six weeks, to her
while she was in such a critical condition
that led to the marriage Saturday
Mrs. Duncan was unable to leave her
bed, and the ceremony was performed
with the bridegroom sitting by the side
of the bride holding her hand in his, The
ceremony was performed by Rev. s. b.
Moore, of the First Christian church, and
was witnessed only by Mrs. Duncan's
brother, T. j. Eady; her step-son Victor
Duncan; her son, Homer Hodge, and
physician.
The marriage was the elimination OF
romance which was begun only six weeks
ago. William Park is a native Of Co
lumbus, but has been in Atlanta for
number of years, in hotel business. He
was connected with the Alhambra hotel
at the time IT was burned, but has re-
Gently purchased the New Park hotel.

Lucien Lyme gets the largest actual sal

George Odom will have 20 struggle along

for his work in the saddle

reinstated, will get $4,000 from Mr.. Whit

more on outside mounts.
Martin has signed for a like amount

CR0WELL C0NFERS
WITH HAY ON CANAL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Mr. Crowell.
counsel for the Panama Canal COM
pany called at state department yester-
dav and had a long conference with Sec
retafy Hay respecting the next steps to
be taken, in view of Attorney General
Knox's opinion on the suf1lciency of the
canal title to carry out the transfer OF
the property to the United States govern
ment.
The Spooner act requires a treaty with
Colombia to be made before the canal
company's property is actually purchase
ed by the United States government, but
this treaty is now we'll advanced toward
completion so that II Is deemed proper
to consider other measures rs.ating 70
the French title.
It is also understood that after a fun
conference with such senatorial leaders
as have been In Washington recently, Sec
rotary Hay has pretty well satisfied him
self that IL such a thing were desirable,
congress would readily amend the Spoon
er act so as to wipe out the condition
that treaty must precede the purchase.
In such case the canal property had
been bought the United States govern
ment would go ahead with the work OF
construction, leaving the treaty negotia-
lions to follow. But as already Indicated.
the negotiations between Secretary Hay
and Senior Concha have progressed so sat
isfactorily as to warrant the belief that
no such recourse to further legislation
will be necessary. The present state OF
the treaty negotiations is that there is
now in the hands of Secretary Hay. who
Is waiting to submit 1t to the president.
a proposal from Colombia suggesting mod
ifcation of the treaty which the United
States originally proposed and there Is
said to be fair ground for compromise be-
tween the two propositions.

RESULT OF WINDER'S BOND
ELECTION IN DISPUTE

wINDER, Ca, Nov. 15.-Winder ciu-'a
zens were called upon yesterday to vote
upon $4,000 issue bonds for water works.d
The interest in this election has far ex-A
ceeded any election we ever had. young
men, middle aged men, old men, took
interest in this election that were never
known to give any time to an election be-
fore Old respectable men were seen out
last night that never were known hardly
to be seen out before. This election meant
the expenditure Of $500 for water works.
and the current expense yearly Of nae
water works. 1t is not believed the res
duction in Insurance and resources fronas-
water rents would amount to 5000. u
The total number OF votes cast wa1~
$50. for bonds, $50; against bonds, BOZ The
bond people say they. carried the election
for bonds, as two-thirds OF last municipal
election is only 40 ana they received
more than that number, though they
failed to carry this election. The against
bond people say they carried the election !
and thereby defeated the bond issue. so
there will likely be an appeal to the SUI
preme court to settle the mater for u.s.
The mass of the tax payers are opposed
to bonds.

BOOKER WASHINGToN'S
DOWNFALL IS PREDICTED

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 15.-The Ala
bama press is beginning to comment on
the fact that the good work begun by
Booker T. Washington is going to be
ruined by the entry Of that distinguished
colored educator into politics. The state
ment made that President Roosevelt con-
fers with Washington on all appoint
ments to be made in Alabama appears to
cause much regret in this state. not exact
ly because OF Washington's race. but be-
cause of a fear that his political duties
will detract from his educational duties
and the fair reputation that he has for
years been building is likely to go up into
smoke in a very short while. Lengthy
editorials are being printed by Alabama
newspapers. These editorials predict the
early ruin Of Washingtons work on edu-
cational lines in not only Alabama but
the entire south.

ABOUT THE CANTEEN

CHICAGO. Nov. 15.-Opinions of moth
ers OF regular army soldiers are to be
used by the Women's Christian Temper
ance union in support OF the contention
that the anti-canteen law should not be

The opinions of the mothers is about
the most effective argument we could pre-
sent before a congressional committee. %
said Mrs. Lillian NJ. n. Stevens, national
president. I'VE anticipate some effort TO
bring about a change in the anti-canteen
law, and will certainly oppose It."
Each OF the 10000 local chapters of the
organization viii be urged to communi-
cate with the mothers Of soldiers in their
localities and ask them their opinion OF
the canteen. The mothers also will be
asked whether their sons send more or
less money home since the canteen was
abolished than they did before.

ENGLAND MAY ADOPT
AMERICAN SYSTEM

LONDON. Nov. 15.-The, admiralty is
considering the advisability of taking an
important leaf out OF the Americans
navy book. The scheme now under con-
sideration at Whitehall is to adopt a
measure closely resembling the naval per-
sonnet bill passed by the American con-
gress.
A departmental committee has received
various reports regarding the workings of
the new American system. 1t is said the
committee is likely to adopt a plan by
which engineers now serving will retire
with an honorary line rank, but in the
future engineers will be selected from
the cadets of the training ship Britannia,
under the system employed at Annapolis,
and thereafter win hold executive rank.
