Curious and Perilous Mission.

S"iiO iOuo anu Il SIlAVuS HASshOh'
There was a gentleman in Palatka
Tuesday who is engaged in the
strangely strenuous mission of en-
circling the globe in handouts. His
name is M. Bernstorff-S Shredder, and
he halls from Copenhagen, Denmark.
Mr.. Shredder is the adopted son Of
the proprietor of one of the leading
daily papers of Copenhagen. His
foster-father's paper, together with
two other European publications in
other cities, in an effort to initiate
American sensationalism, hit upon
the plan of each starting represent
ative on 1900 mile trip in hand
cuffs around the world. Each of
these papers put up 5000 with the
understanding that the whole $4,000
was to go to the man who first made
the trip successfully. A limit of
three years was given In which to
make the trip. The Police Gazette
of New York subsequently added
81, 900 to the purse, making a total Of
$4,000 in prize money to the winner.
The conditions of the trip were
that the men were to start away
from home penniless, and that they
We're to earn their own support in
handouts. The handouts are un-
locked after each l,000 miles of
travel, and after weeks rest they
are locked on again and the key for
warded by some newspaper man to
another newspaper man 1000 miles
in advance.
Mr.. Shredder is at present in the
lead by 5000 miles over his only sur
viving competitor. One competitor
is dead. Mr.. Shredder had travelled
on reaching Palatka 25,959 miles.
He has 1904 miles yet to go. He is
due in Tampa on Saturday, where
the editor Of the Tampa Tribune has
the key which will unlock his hand
cuffs and permit him weeks rest.
From Tampa Mr.. Shroeder goes to
Key West, Havana and Panama,
Thence to Australia, China, India
and home.
This traveller earns his way by
lecturing. He told of his wonderful
experiences at the court house on
Monday night. His most serious
drawback WAS encountered in Colo
RADIO, where he was shot in the shoul-
der by a sheriff who mistook him fol
a convict. He was laid up in hos.
pital in Denver for four months.
His home paper is making much Of
his travels and experiences, and Mr.
Shredder writes almost daily letters
Some of his most wonderful expert
ences are yet to be encountered, but
as he is clever gentleman, resource.
full and filled with the spirit of bis
strange undertaking it is more thar
likely that he will land a winner Of
that well earned $4,000.
Mr.. Shredder desired the News tc
thank the county and city officials
and all others for the kindness showr
him in Palatka, and states that the
memories of his visit here viii
always form a pleasant chapter O.

LOOK OUT
FOR MALARIA.

An epidemic of Malaria is sure to fol-
low the wet season and the high waters
which have prevailed all over the
South. Malarial and kindred fevers
will develope to an alarming extent.
General health conditions will be bad;
every precaution should be taken.
The System Must Especially Do Fer
NIaed to RSsIst MsIsrIsI Attacks.
A trial of fifty years has demonstrate
ed that for this emergency, DIR. Har-
ter's Iron Tonic has no equal. Iron is
the fighting element in the blood, and
the kind of iron supplied by DR.. Har-
ter's Iron Tonic is just the kind the
system requires to successfully combat
malarial conditions. Don't wait until
you are attacked. Take it now and for
tify yourself; it is an absolute safeguard
and, at the same time, it is the best
tonic and invigorant for the entire sys-
tenn. On the other hand, quinine dis
turbs the system and its cumulative
poison begets greater physical troubles
than those it is employed to remedy.

is Mr.. KUHIO TO
THE PRESIDENT

One of the most interesting figures
in Congress is the delegate from Ha-
wall, Prince Cupid His real name is
Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole He
acquired the title Cupid while at
school in San Francisco, and now he
is to be officially called out of his
name again because the President can
not pronounce his appellation. He is
to be known in official circles as Mr..
Kuhio.
Mr. Kuhio, then, is accompanied ev-
erywhere he goes by secretary. He
has also a personal secretary" and
several other personages in his suite
He dresses well, wears his straight
black hair a la pompadour, and his
fierce black mustache is forever waxed
brilliantly. He is about feet tall
and has fine physique, erect and
athletic. Mr.. Kuhio is light brown
in color and would be taken anywhere
for a wealthy Mexican. His fad is
red neckties-reaI flaming red of the
most aggressive shade.
William Haywood, who was the last
! consul of the United States at Homo
lulu and who now represents the Plan
ters' Association of Hawaii, recently
called on the President to arrange for
the presentation of the new delegate.
Il shall not call him Prince Cupid" !"
Mr.. Roosevelt declared, and 1 cannot
T pronounce his last name. I never
would be able to remember it, anyhow.
Can't we cut it off somewhere and
make it sinpler?''
Mr.. Haywood conferred with Prince
Cupid's advisers and after a lengthy
debate Mister Kuhio'' was evolved
from the troublesome cognomen. Mr..

with the abbreviated title, which prov

MYSTIC SHR|NERS AWAIT
NOWCES ON HOT SANDS
Victims Who Hold on to the Rope viii Be Put
Through Fearful Ordeal Before Donning Z.
the Red FeZ.

Dress and time: This carnival will
be quite a o'spicious occasion and a
three-ringed show. All Mobiles who ex-
pect to witness the work of the
Thrown" are requested to assemble at
the Temple promptly at $3.50 clad in
regulation claw-hammer suits. with
their throbbing domes of thought COW
cred by little red hat, with a black
tassel. This is the uniform of a Noble
of the Mystic Shrine. Candidates will
appear in any old, unpretentious
clothes. We may need some one to
mop up the floor after the ceremony is
over. Candidates will appear at the
side door and say to the man in wait
ing: "I am a Novice" and they will be
steered all right. Those who cannot
handle hot lamp chimney and at the
same time sing the s'Doxology," should
commence practice at once.
Have your feet made ball -bearing-if
pclssible-it will help you to move along
without friction.
Kindly counsel for the novices: Leave
any superf1uous dignity which you may
possess at home in your wife's keeping.
There is no use in burdening yourself
with extra bagga age-besides it might
get damaged.
Lead virtuous and abstemious life
for at least three days previous to De-
cember 19th-that your fortitude may
not be undermined and unexpectedly
betray you.
Study gentleness of action and kind
liness of speech, lest a hasty retort or
ungentlemanly violence lead you into
difficulty.
Let your attire be not too fastidious,
nor yet of =grotesque vulgarity. A de-
cent respectability is most befitting.
Presume not too greatly upon any
knowledge of what is going to happen,
which you may, in your conceit, imag-
inc yourself to possess. Pride goeth
before fall-or a slide.
Let not go Of anything which may be
entrusted to your keeping, with instruc-
tions to "hold on" Life often hangs
by a single thread.

tended to all visiting mobiles within our

"Es salamu Aleikun!"

.eEs Salamu Aleikum!''
This cabalistic greeting was sent
forth from Aloha Temple, Mystic
Shrine, yesterday to the faithful, and
accompanying it was proclamation
inscribed on papyrus that the desert
sands will be heated to the blistering
cember 10, 1903, when a camel will cross
them dragging rope to which dozens
of novitiates will cling.
It will be great night and the desert
will ring with the screeches of the un-
fortunates, who, to test their fitness to
wear the fez, will be compelled to stand
tentate B. G. Holt and the Recorder of
the Deeds of the Faithful, J. G. Roth
well, have promulgated the edict call
ing forth the members of the order of
the fez to commence their pilgrimage
to the Temple.
The proclamation of Aloha Temple is
set forth in one of the most unique book
let's ever issued by Mystic Shrine,
which is overlooking from cover to
cover with humor, descriptive of the
good things on tap. The tinted illus
trations by Allan Dunn are express
sive OF the traditions of the Mystic
Shrine, and are for the most part in
imitation of ancient Egyptian hierog-
1yphics in friezes, and show what will
be done to the novices at the initiation.
A picture of Potentate Holt in his Arab
robes forms the frontispiece, and there
is a. half tone of the late William H.
Cornwell. member of the Divan of
last year.
The proclamation to the faithful
reads as follows:
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine: Hearken
and give heed to the inspired words Of
His Serene Highness, our Illustrious
Potentate:

An item in last weeks paper seems
to have been misunderstood. 1t was
relative to the quarantine of chicken
poX diseases and 1t was stated to us
that it meant the particular instance
there cited should be quarrntined.
Such was not intended We believe
that case and every other, as soon rs il
is found to be either of an infectious
or contagious nature should be closely
quarantined.
This town has suffered so much in
the past-years from loose health laws
and1a lax quarantine system that it
SHOULD by this tine have learned a
lesson, and Use every possible means
to control disease. If we can possibly
go through this season without all
epidemic it will mean much to our
town and the only possible way to
achieve this result is to enforce strlcl
quarantine on those patients afflicted
with such disease. If our he,lth com
mittee board and physicians do not at
tend to this they are failing il
their duty.
