Favored in Georgia.

The Parker boom has flourished more
in the South than elsewhere, and es-
pecially in the Cracker State, where
perhaps a majority OF the leaders look
with favor upon his candidacy In fact.
it is asserted that the man was ,ieor-
gian who has the distinction Of dis
covering Parker and first suggested
him as a suitable man for the Demo-
Gratis to nominate.
Recently there has been some evil
dence OF growing Shepard sentiment
throughout the South. and the Brooklyn
reformer is said TO be willing 10 have It
develop. He has been somewhat active
In his efforts TO promote harmony with
in the Democratic ranks. and II may be
that he has some Interior motive in do
ing so. At any rate he has not injured
his chances by going South and allowing
the politicians Of that section who have
strong influence in Democratic councils
to look him over and get better ac-
quainted with him Perhaps some Of
them may select him as their favorite
IN the Presidential race.

TRADE WITH GERMANY,
AND POLITICS THERE
Elections May Affect Policy Regarding
American Importations.

Officials OF the Agricultural Depart
ment take the view that the recent
great gains OF the Social Democrats in
Germany over the Agrarians will mean
al Improvement OF the trade relations
between this country and Germany.
The fierce opposition Of the Agrarians
to the importation OF American food
stuns and the restrictions placed upon
the importations aroused powerful op-
position which had cheap food as it's
Platform. 1t is not thought that i'm
mediate or drastic changes in existing
trade regulations will result. but the
American officials expect to see a
gradual readiustment which will be of
great benefit 10 American exporters Of
food stuff.
So far no reciprocal trade relations
have been entered into between Ger
many and the State Department. At
present there is nothing to do but wait
and see what course the Germans will
follow. The Dingley law provides the
Government here with countervailing
measures and retaliatory powers. but IT
Is emphatiCally stated that no tariff
warfare will be sought and every effort
viii be made TO maintain harmonious
trade relations.

The Chilean minister. Senior Martinez

brought to the attention of President
Riesco and his official advisers bv the
exposition's South African agent. Mr..
Olivares. Of 81. Louis. who is a citizen
of this country. but of Spanish descent.
For this latter reason he has been bet

and great interest has been aroused
there
Minister Martinez Walker, in referring
TO the plan said:
President Riesco and the cabinet
having given their approval 10 the plan.
1t now goes before congress for the
voting Of an appropriation and the nam

Some large sum will probably be deter
mined upon. perhaps something like s75.-
600. Reports from Chile bring the in
formation that great interest has al

sition, and the desire is growing to make
a large and creditable exhibition OF the

Carnegie Win Not Buy Iona.

now made its headquarters at what is
known as the Grande Chartreuse IN

the somewhat tardy discovery by the
reverend fathers that the late Duke of
Argyll some time previous 20 his death
had fled deed. by the terms OF which

Scottish kings. and. in fact. all the
holy places OF the island were trans
ferred 70 the trustees of the Church of
Scotland. and vested in their hands in
perpetuity. The Carthusian monks. II
they were 10 purchase Iona. would
therefore get merely the island without

Church OF Scotland.

to whether he would contribute TO the
restoration OF the Iona Cathedral the

been at Iona. have no intention OF Wis

~ TO the seashore resorts. Philadel-
phia is not am applicant for summer
resort honorS. However, this is a de
tail, and not the tale of interest at this
moment.
Ninety miles north of Hatteras and
headed straight for Atlantic City. as
nearly as we can make out, was the
monster when seen from the bridge of
the steamer Tresco. As Captain Bart
lett tells the story:
AIR, Gray saw a school of sharks
running wildly. Behind them seemed
20 be derehct We steamed up. 1t
raised out of the water, andsthe thing
Mortified us. Supported on a neck
that rose above the water fifteen feet
was the head of dragon, with two
monster tusks. It was 100 feet long,
with body like a snake, tapering to
Q dragon-shaped tail. 1t looked at us
and made off. 1t left a sitting
odor."
OF course this dreadful story is 60
ing to empty the Atlantic City hotels
as swiftly as did the prediction of an
earthquake by a negro preacher
prophet last year, and it is to be
feared that other resorts which have
put off the opening of their hotels
until the present cool wave shall have
passed may nail up the blinds and
await the final disposition of the mon
ster before commencing the season.
As for us, we think it shows de-
cidedly bad taste on the part of any
sea serpent to make its appearance
before the middle of August. BY that
time the average guest at a seaside
hotel has become so Injured to hard
ship that he fears nothing, not even
death from the jaws Of a monster
with the head of a dragon and a
sitting odor.

IDEAL AUTOMOBILE
SOON To Be PRODUCED
Washington Inventor Has 1t Nearly
Ready.

An automobile Weighing little more
than fits occupants. free from noise heat.
and other disagreeab;c features-an
automobile that is the ideal machine.
having speed. durability and comfort
will be placed on the Washington mar
ket In the latter part OF November or
early in December. At least. that Is
the prediction Of local inventor. who
has been working for years to create
such eontriyance. and now declares
his plan is rapidly nearing completion.
The new motor is scheduled to cause
revolution in the manufacture OF
automobiles. Il will be operated with
gasolene. and viii also differ from the
present type in that the radiating heat
and noise Will be used In the motive
power. Each section OF the machinery
will be an invention in itself Patents
have already been taken out on most OF
these inventions, and only a few more
steps are required to finish the intended
marvel.
The name OF the inventor is withheld
for obvious reasons. Not until the ma
chine has been completed and Is ready
10 be put on the market does he wish any
publicity. This secrecy is maintained
in order TO prevent any adverse crfti-
eism should the invention not be ready
for the manufacturer by the date named.
In speaking OF the machine the inventor
said today:
The automobile in present use is not
an invention. but merely an adaptation.
II was created In haste 70 satisfy the
clamor of the public. and Is far from
the zenith OF perfection. II is heavy.
unwieldly. soisy. unreliable. and has
three persons at a fast rate Of speed
it is necessary to have a machine that
weighs between two OF three tons. A
ton for each person. Imagine such a
condition when a motor car should
weigh no more than its occupant OF oc-
cupants.
The ideal automo, ile-such as now in
the course Of invention-wiIl not weigh
more than the steel springs used in
the construction OF the cars in use now.
1t will reveal that the great difficulty
OF having TO carry weight with the neees-
sary force can be dispensed with. The
machinery is small, and so constructed
that every means OF power Is used.
The three applicable forces for run
ming automobiles are electricity. steam.
and gasolene. The trouble with the first
two lies in weight. To produce speed
the storage batteries must be large and
necessarily heavy. The steam carriage
carries a boiler, furnace, and all such

NEW ORLEANS A WET CITY.

Heavy Rain.

The city of New Orleans. like most Of
the land at each side OF the Mississippi
River In the aliuvial country. lies con-
siderably below the high-water line of
the Mississippi River. The whole city
would be inundated by the river occa-
sionally IL II were not protected by a
lCvee along the river front. The river
is also protected by levees running at
right angles TO the river. one above the
city and one below Il. and also by a
levee along the shores of Lake Pont-
chartrain. and levees along the banks
OF the various canals which reach from
the lake into territory OF the munich
pality. New Orleans is so near the
mouth of the river that the land upon
which the city is built is not only lower
than the high-water stage of the river.
but is In part lower than the level of
the Gulf of Mexico and OF the various
lakes in the vicinity Of the city There

falls upon this area has to be pumped.

A cause Celebre. +"

1t is unnecessary to go into the en-
tire story OF the Poulett cause cele-
bre." II will be sufficient to state that
the organ grinder claimant was born Just
six months and eight days after the late
earl's marriage to his mother, but that
the late earl always claimed that he
had never set eyes on the woman until
the day of his marriage. and that he had
welded her in order 20 win a wager OF
$500 from his fellow officers of the Sec
ond Regiment of Foot at Portsmouth.
that he would marry the first girl whom
he met in the street after leaving the
mess dinner table. Within six months
after the marriage Lieutenant Poulett.
as he was then. deserted the woman and
never lived with her again.
The question before the committee of
privileges OF the house of lords will
therefore be very difficult one to solve.
For 1t cannot be denied that the organ
grinder claimant was born in lawful
wedlock, which is the most important
feature IN the case, and. again. the late
earls contention that he had never seen

The Sea Serpent at Large.
Keepers of Seaside Hotels Threatened
With Fresh Disaster.

Unhappy is the lot of the landlord
of the seaside hotel. No sooner does
one set of troubles pass him by than
another is sure to arise like a dark
cloud from the sea to confront and
perplex him and to I'll his life with
the bitterness Of a great woe. We
have heard of men, and women, too,
who envied him his lot, but it was the
envy which is based on ignorance.
Even the berth Of a Servian King or
a Sultan Of Turkey is to be preferred
in some respects to that Of the man
who keeps the hotel at one Of our
ocean-side resorts, though it is an
open question which has the shorter
and more tempestuous season"
Last summer this monarch Of the
petty kingdom found his reign almost
ruined by rain, which fell eopiously
from April to November. This year
the summer season seems uncon-
sclonaDly long III coming, and there
are serious doubts in the mind of him
who goes down to the sea in steam or
trolley cars and awaits the coming of
the thirsty guest, whether the fates
are not planning TO give him an Arc
tic summer, with icebergs on the side
and guests invisible As if to add to
the sum total Of his miseries, the Sea
Serpent, that hor1id insect, has put in
sn appearance at least two months be-
fore the proper season. The story
comes from Philadelphia, and cannot
be questioned for moment, that town
being so far inland that no one can
suspect it of fostering sea serpent
yarns because Of any feeling Of rival

Made Wife an Allowance.

Another point in favor OF the organ
grinder claimant was that his mother
only died in 1S71-that is to say, twenty
two years after the marriage-and that
her husband, the late earl. during all
that time never Instituted a prosecu-
ton against her for having made a
false declaration as 10 the paternity of
her son. when she registered Its birth.
II he had done this the question OF the
legitimacy of the son might have been
thrashed out. Not only, however, did the
late earl abstain from any such steps
but likewise made an allowance to the
woman until her death.
The presumption. however. is that the
committee of privileges of the house
Of lords will report in favor Of the now
twenty-year- Old owner OF the Poulett
estates. valued at nearly $4,000, 600. and
who is the only son of the late earls
third wife. Rosa Melville. who now sur
wives him as his widow
The entire issue will rest upon the
problem as to whether the late earl had
met and become acquainted with his
first wife previous to the date Of their
marriage. and the evidence on this
point VIII have to be of a very con-
elusive character in order TO cause the
committee Of privileges to decide in ia
vor of the organ grinder claimant who
in that event would have the barren
honors without any means OF supporting
them with fitting dignity.
