PACE OF THE RIDERS
TOO MUCH FOR CALVIN
GaIvin's Partner Cried When Gal
vim Was Cut Out.

vim Was Cut Out.
New York, Dec. S.-The condition of
some of the riders in the six-day bicy-
Gle race was made plain tonight
when Calvin tainted from exhaustion
and remained unconscious for half an
hour. AS Bardgett, Galvins partner,
relieved him at once, the team lost
nothing. In spite of Galvin's condition
it was announced that he would be
allowed to continue riding. The mid
night score:
Contenet and Breton, $50 miles; Lean
der and Butler, $50; Krebbs and Peter
son, $50; Newkirk and Jacobson, $50;
Bedell brothers, $780, Root and Dorian,
$50; Calvin and Bardgett, $50; Bowler
and Fisher, $50; Walthour and Munroe,
$50; Keegan and Moran, S79.9; Samson
and Vanderstuyft, S79.6; Krebbs and
Barclay, S79.6; Gougoultz and Rettich,
1874; Dove and Hedspeth, S69.7. Rec
ord $685..
Calvin collapsed for the second time
shortly before midnight and fell from
his wheel, bringing down Bedell, Bar
clay, Samson and Rettich with him.
Samson and Barclay turned somer-
saults in the air and landed in a heap
in a box, where three men and a wom-
an were sitting. Barclay was knocked
unconscious.
The subjects of the mishap were car
ried to their quarters. Calvin was
found to be so weak that the manage
ment refused to let him and his part
ner, Bardgett, continue. Bardgett cried
bitterly when he heard the decision.
Menus Bedell was found to be
stunned by the upset, but no bones
were broken. Barclay had his right
leg badly wrenched. Rettich was not
hurt,

SIMILARITY OF NAMES
MIGHT DECEIVE.
How Virgin1a-CarOIina Chemical
Company Won Its Fight over Ala
bama Company.

How VirginIa-CarOIina Chemical
hama Company.
The victory of the Virginia-Carolina
Chemical Company over the Alabama
Chemical Company in the matter of
opposing the registration of certain
brands of fertilizer, an account of
which appeared in the Morning News
yesterday in an Atlanta dispatch, has
attracted considerable attention.
The Alabama company sought to use
the word Alabama in it's several brands
of fertilizer. This was opposed by
the Virginia-CarOlina company, which
had already registered the word in
connection with certain of it's produc-
tons At the hearing before Commits
sioner of Agriculture Stevens it was
shown that Mr.. John Huger, president
of the Alabama company had pre-
Viously been connected with the Vir-
Sinia-Carolina company, and was
familiar with the names of the popu-
lar brands OF fertilizers the company
manufactured.
1t was contended by the Alabama
company that geographical terms and
words of description cannot be mo-
nopOlized as trade names. In finding
against the Alabama company, Com
missioner Stevens said on this point:
From my best understanding of the
briefs presented, and the arguments
of counsel this is true, but I'm a num-
Der of cases submitted it has been
held that the use of such geogra phical
terms or descriptive words as may in
duce, or be used for the purpose of in
ducing, the public to believe that they
are securing the goods of one manu-
facturer when they are in reality get
ting those of another manufacturer,
constitute unfair and illegal competi-
ton and Will be enjoined by the courts"

WEATHER CONVENTION"
MAY COME TO GEORGIA
Decision of Chief of Bureau Anx-
iOusly Awaited by Weather Men.

iOusly Awaited by Weather Men.
next convention of the United States
Weather Bureau Service will be held
will be made within a comparatively
short time. 1t is regarded as probable
that the convention, which meets dur
ing the first part of the year, will be
held either at Denver or at Atlanta.
The chances are that Atlanta will be
the place chosen.
These conventions, which are held
regularly by the bureau, are of the
greatest interest to the weather men
throughout the country. Papers are
presented on various subjects connect
ed with the work of the bureau and
discussions of all lines of the service
are carried on. Expert opinions are
given by the chiefs of the service.
After the last convention an almost
unanimous desire was expressed for the
convention this year to be held in ST.
LOUIS While no announcement has
peen made as yet, it is regarded as
probable that the chief of the bureau
VIII decide against st. Louis. He has
stated heretofore that when the con-
Nent1on met in cities where there was
falr or exposition going on that the
convention became a minor interest,
and the delegates spent most of their
time at the fairs. For this reason it
is believed that he will decide upon
either Denver or Atlanta, with the
chances .favoring Atlanta.
All expenses of the delegates to the
convention are paid by the government,
ana as most of the members of the
bureau are stationed east of the Mis-
slsslppi, there would be considerable
saving If the convention were held in
eastern or Southeastern territory. At
ianta is the only city in the East which
IS making an unusually strong effort to
secure the convention, and it is believed
that 1t will be sent there.

BERI-BERI ATTACKED
CREW OF A BARK.
Desperate Time Had Before Sh,
Made Her Passage.


Made Her Passage.
Pensacola, Fla, Dec. S.-Capt. Lo-
frengren, master of the Swedish bark
]. Wilkstrom, Jr., which arrived at
quarantine yesterday, relates a terri
BILE story of hardships undergone by
himself and crew while on the voyage
from South Africa to Pensacola.
The bark started on the voyage
twelve months ago and had been out
for about three months when all of
the crew was attacked with beri-beri,
a disease which all sailors dread. For
several weeks the crew battled with
the disease. but finally they became so
weak and disabled that they were un-
able to handle the vessel. They were
then several hundred miles off Port
of Spain, Trinidad, and few days aft
erward French steamer sighted the
bark drifting about.
The steamer pasesd a line to the
bark and towed her to Port of Spain.
When that port was reached. five dead
men lay on the deck, while around
them were half a dozen others, almost
in a dying condition. The master was
also nearly dead.
The sailors received attention and
the master went to his home in Swe-
den, where he remained for nearly four
months, under treatment He then
returned to Port of Spain, and found
that the natives had stripped his yes
sci of everything of any value, includ-
in~ the nautical instruments. After
considerable delay he got his crew to-
gether, with some new men, and again
commenced his voyage to Pensacola,
reaching here in safety.
The bark will be docked on the ma
val docks at the navy yard and re-
paired.

The County Commissioners closed
their years work last night and were
highly satisfied with the result. Though
the tax rate was less than during the
former year, they managed to get
through the year without borrowing
any money and they made many i'm
provements, especially to the roads
of the county. They had no conta-
gious diseases to contend against
though the cost of the court for the
year was unusually high. Among the
bills before them was the bill of Arch
itect Golucke for $1.730 for court house
plans, which had been refused payment.
1t was referred to the county attorney,
and it is understood that he will adj
wise against the payment of the bill,
the grounds being no service perform
ed. One thousand dollars had already
been paid on the plans, which were
afterwards discarded.

AGAINST 2-CENT RAISE
Lumbermen of the Mississippi VAL
ley Complain.

New Orleans, Dec. S.-The hearing
Of the complaint of the Central Yellow
Pine Association against the South
eastern Lumber Carriers was begun
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to-day. Commissioners Yo-
man, Fife and Prouty are in attend
ance.
George S. Gardiner, president of the
association, was the only witness to-
day. He charged that there was no
justification for the 2 cent increase;
that it meant ruin to the lower Mis-
sissippi valley lumber interests and
that the discontinuance Of the lap line
allowance forms another part of the
general complaint which was equiv
alent to a discrimination in favor of
the Western lumbermen.

Even irrigation reclamation will
not exhaust the available arid and
semi-arid regions of the West. as even
when irrigation has been applied to it's
utmost limits there will remain some
millions of acres of fertile land that
adjoin these reclaimed wastes. The
lands lie principally between the one
hundred and the one hundred and
twentieth meridians and comprise
areas over which there is a deficient
rainfall with no available neighboring
sources of supply which might be
brought to them even by canals. But
the Department of Agriculture has 9TH
er resources to fall back upon. If
the customary crops require water,
why not develop new crops that can
be grown dry? This. in substance,
is the problem the Bureau of Plant
Industry has set for itself. Dry-land
farming or dry farming" is the name
of this unique scheme. Just now the
world is being searched for industrial
plants that can sustain life and ma
ture crops with a minimum of water,
and an elaborate life study of all such
plants is under way.
