Application for Receiver ofSea-
coast Plant.
II Is Alleged That President Mulhol-
land, From New York, Tried
to Run II.
BUSINESS IS NOT AFFECTED

A suit has been filed in circuit court
here by Ellen NJ. Garrett, L. o. Gar
rett, ]. O. Flournoy and Mr.. Hanson
against the seacoast Mineral company
asking for the appointment of a receiv.
er.
The litigation has grown out of in
ternal dissension. The company's
large crushing plant, lin Mechanics
burg. has been completed for several
months, but never run to any extent.
The allegations in the suit, which
was brought by Attorneys T. Il. Har-
rison and.T. E. Moss, are that Presi-
dent Mulholland, of New YorR, is try
ing to get possession of the concern by
unfair means. Mr.. Garrett, the gen
ersl manager, claims he recently re-
ceived a telegram from Mr.. Mulhol-
land discharging him as general mana
ger, and appointing John II. Dodds in
his place, but he refused to vacate.
He also alleges that the president at
tempted 10 have a man named Krom
secure q loan in the name of the Sea-
coast %. so suit could be instituted
on the note and the concern bought by
Mulholland.
The motion for receiver will be
argued before Judge Husbands Monday
afternoon.
The plant started several days ago
but soon shut down again on account
of Foreman Hsnson's illness. The
owners Of stock in the concern are
Ellen NJ. Garrett owns 1885 shares !;
L. o. Garrett, share; J. Campbell
FlouTnoy, 225 shares, and Mr.. Null
holland, 1885 shares.
The present trouble is purely inter
nal, and will not affect the business Of
the concern. Hundreds of people in
counties above the rivers are greatly
interested in the success of the con-
Germ. Its object is to separate two
minerals that have never been separ-
ated thus far by any known process.
These minerals are fluor spar and zinc.
They are worth about $50 and 50 a
ton respectively, separated, but togeth-
er are practically worthless. Hence
process to successfully separate them
would mean fortune, as there are
unlimited quantities of it .
1t is claimed by the Seacoast Miner
al company that their mschines will
do it, and on the strength of their
confidence about 500, 900 has been
spent in putting up the plant. 1t has
never run extensively yet, but so far
as it goes has made splendid and sat
isfactory showing. If its process is
successful, it will mean the fortune of
many people in Southwest Kentucky.
II is said that Mr.. Garrett, after
being "fired" several days ago, sue
ceeded in buying up stock belonging
to local syndicate, and that he now
controls a majority of the stock.
He and Attorney j. O. Flournoy are
expected back from New York Mon
day.

be issued in New York city. How far
he has gone with the details Of the
scheme he refuses to say, but he as

success.
81 have no idea Of publishing a re-

talking Of his plan. "The people want
news-clean, wholesome news, that
will educate and elevate them, not de-
grade.
"My idea is to print facts without
elaboration or establishment and to
print them for just what they are
worth, if they are printable. The
point of sensationalism to which the
news of the day is exploited in some
newspapers is simply disgusting and
degrading"

FUN WITH GRAY SQUIRRELS
As IL In Practlced In the South, 1hls
Sport Calls for First-Class
Shooting.

II the woods of southern Arkansas,
Louisiana and Mississippi at this sea-
son the squirrel hunter is having all
the fun he can stand up to in a day.
The leaf-shedding trees are bare, but
the southern squirrel, unlike its north
ern brother, does not hole up in the
winter. 1t is in evidence through all
the daylight hours, says the New York
Sun.
In those parts of the south which
are still far removed from railways,
the squirrel is hunted with the rifle,
just us it was hunted so or 100 years
ago. The weapons often are rifles
with abnormally long, soft barrels
and caliber as small as %, muzzle
loading, of course, and some of them
used to be fired with flints. These
guns are wonderfully accurate, are
fired with black powder and because
probably they have so much longer
barrels, hold up better than the short
er modern breech-loading arm Of the
same size.
A pinewoods dweller in the south
will take squirrels head as a target
at so yards and center it more often
than he will miss it, the round bullet
going very truly and hard.
Nearly all of the squirrels are of the
small, active, mischievous, toothsome
gray kind. Shotguns are generally
used Oh these and they furnish sport.
is, OF course, no trick to knock down
n still squirrel with a charge Of No. 6
shot, but they are not often still, and
the men who hunt them would disdain
10 shoot them anyway.
They are taken when on the move,
most often when running swiftly
along branch high up, or leaping
from tree TO tree, and there are many
easier marks. 1t is not natural to man
10 sheet with a gun pointing at the
sky. the branches interfere, the target
Is small, often exposing but little of
It's body TO the shot, and It gets
through the woods at surprising speed.

AN ACCOMPLISHED PARROT.
Cuban Bird In an Indiana Town Has
. Vocabulary OF Three
Hundred Words.

D. c. Pence, a conductor on the Gas
City interurban line for nearly eight
years, has pet parrot which came
into his possession a few months ago.
She came from Cuba, and is bird Of
unusual beauty. Mr., and Mrs. Pence
at once undertook to teach the bird
to talk and Polly now has voca bulary
Of over 800 words, says Gas City dis
patch in the Indianapolis News.
When Polly sneezes she at once IN
forms the household that "Polly's
caught cold" When the shades Of
night come on, the parrot makes it
known that she is tired and wants to
go to bed.
The birds chief accomplishment is
her ability to hear and talk over the
telephone. Mr.. Pence says that when
ever the bell rings Polly shouts
"Hello" with as much clearness as an
an experienced operator.
When Mrs. Pence holds the bird to
the telephone when her husband is
talking at the other end Of the line,
the bird recognizes Fences voice, and
cries:
"Hello, kid; come home to dinner!"
The parrot has the freedom OF the
Pence house, and goes from room to
room at will When Polly is scolded,
she retires to her perch and there
assumes an air of injured innocence.

BETTER THAN BABY.
Dogs Coming Into Favor with tho
Women of America.
Promi ent New York Physician, Edi-
tor OF NJ e di cal Record, Says That
Our Birth Rate Closely Fol-
lows That of France.

That the American family is becom-
ing a back number and that American
women prefer pets to children is de-
clared by DR.. George f. Shrady, editor
of the Medical Record.
DR.. Shrady became famous as. Gen. U.
S. Grants personal physician, and his
observations have been made in a
large measure among the smart set
in New York. lie recently wrote an ar
tcle for the Medical Record in which
he printed sta tistics showing how fam
lilies are decreasing.
Taking these official figures as the
basis Of his argument, DR.. Shrady goes
on TO declare that the birth rate in the
United States, especially among the
well to do, is rapidly getting as low as
in France, where general alarm has
been caused for the future of the coun-
try.
Life in fats and the demands of So
ciety are given as the principal causes
why the American born woman dislikes
TO raise a family.
In discussing the subject DR.. Shrady
said:
1.-THE fashionable woman of to-day
does not want children. If she bears
them she does not rear them properly
and they become siekly and die. That
this aversion to children is rapidly
spreading through all classes of soci-
ETY. is generally recognized by the
medical profession 1t is true among
the well to do everywhere in the coun-
try as well as in the cities. We are fol-
lowing rapidly in the path of France.
where the subject has occupied the
attention Of statesmen and lawmak-
ers for years and prizes are offered by
the government for large families. In
this country, however, our Anglo
Saxon prudery will always stand in the
way of any general campaign OF educa-
ton on this subject. Physicians can
90 something in the way of educat ting
their own patients, but their efforts in
the aggregate amount to but little.
The demands of society and the life
of our people in fats, where the baby
is more unwelcome than dog, are
among the factors responsible for this
state Of affairs, and / see no hope for
the future"

T'ypewritinR In Arabic.

An American inventor has succeeded
in making typewriting machine which
prints Arabic characters. The princi-
pal difficulties to be overcome were in
allowing some letters double the space
Of others, and in providing certain let
tiers with three different forms, ac-
cordng as they fall at the beginning,
the middle, or at the end Of a word.
The machine contains "a characters,
eight of which automatically supply
themselves with double space taken
by the others. The machine has been
tested by committee Of examiners at
Beirut, and pronounced satisfactory,
but some native critics think several
Of the letters should have been more
elegantly shaped, for in Arabic writing
beauty IS appreciated as much as legi-
bility.

THE BOOSTERS "KNOCKED."
An Optimlstic Chicago Organization
That Found Out 1t WINS Useless
and Disbanded.

Is it better to knock or to boost? The
oft-discussed subject has been called
up again by the demise of an orzaniza-
ton whose purpose was set forth IN It's
name, The Booster club" The Boost
er club was to boost, its motto was
Every knock is a boost" That motto
is now torn from the walls Of the room
the boosters occupied, and in it's stead
some member of the Press club, which
has annexed the booster room, has
scrawled on the wall in pencil:
knock, and the world knocks with
you,
Boost, and you boost alone"
The Booster club was a society OF
optimism, says the Chicago Tribune.
1t was devoted to discovering the good
that may be in our fellow man. The
boosters spoke no ill, thought no evil
decried no honest endeavor. 1t boost
ed. 1t boosted all day long and oft
times far into the night. 1t was the
beginning of a new cult. One booster
went farther than this. He said it
was the commencement of a new re-
ligion.
The Booster club is no more. Two
or three members the other night arose
and made addresses as to the advis-
ability of keeping the clubrooms open
and Of continuing the active organiza-
ton Of the club. The burden of their
plants was: whats the use?" After
these speeches had been delivered n
member with white face arose and in
hushed whispers said: "Gentlemen, do
you know what you are doing? We
are boosters, and yet gentlemen, you
have been knocking. More than that
you have committed the crime Of
crimes, You have knocked the Booster
club. This takes from us all that we
have claimed. We must disband." And
It was so ordered.

Persons able to make fair scores on
flying birds In the fields are often sur
prised when they first go after gray
squirrels. Taking a squirrel in mid
air when It is making some leap of
20 feet and hangs outlined for but part
Of second requires quickness and
accuracy.
Since the squirrels have a great ex-
tent of territory, mild climate, breed
frequently and never die from ex-
posture, there are literally tens of
thousands Of them. On any sunny
afternoon in bit of forest back of
plantation on which corn has been
grown close down to the woods a man
will see hundreds in walk of half
mile, 1t is nothing for man or boy
to kill from 25 to 30 squirrels in half
a days shoot, tie them in punches to
the saddle strings and come riding
out of the swamp with legs hidden in
gray fur.
There are few more attractive
sports, for the man has the deep still
ness of the woods around him, the myr-
lad life of the forest, and he gets
very close to nature. If he will smoke
his pipe quietly while sitting on log,
the squirrels will race all around him,
venturing close in angry daring, and
scolding volubly, endeavoring to drive
him away with noise; but if he will
stay long enough they will cease after
awhile and go about their business as
If he were not there.
