Ohio Man Who Enjoys Life as Well
as the Most Whole

Cleveland O., Nov. although he has
no hands and arms, having lost both
arms just below the elbows during the
civil war, E. p. Latham, of Burton, Ohio,
enjoys life as much as any one and is
able to accomplish things almost as well
as any one who has hands, as can be seen

Mr.. Latham was born in Welshdeld
Ohio. March ,, 1889 and his early life was
spent in that town.
Bis career as a soldier although he was
not in the service long, was an honorable
one He enlisted at Welshield during
September, 1861, in the Ninth Ohio Volun-
teer Light Artillery. This battery was
sent to the front in Kentucky and par
ticipated in the battle of Alill Springs,
where the union forces captured the rebel
General Zolicoffer. January 70, 1862.
After the Union forces had taken Cum
berland Gap on June 10. 1862, the COM
manding general of the Union army at
this point gave the order to fire general
salute. Mr. Latham was ramming home a
charge when the canon was premature
~ discharged. tearing away both arms
below the elbows and putting out one
eye. He was given the best OF atten-
ton by the army surgeons. and in q few
weeks had sufficiently recovered from his
wounds to be able to return home
Mr.. Latham has had several operations
on the remaining portions of his arms
since they were first h-aied. and at times
is in considerable pain.
Mr.. Latham is known all over Geauga

GOAT MILK FOR BABIES.
Dairy to Furnish 1t to Be Established
at St outs

st. Louis, no, Nov. 5-A dairy to fur
nish the babies of st. Louis with pure
goats milk is being organized by ply
sicians of the city. and at a meeting
soon the project will be formally launched
A B. Hulit of Springfield, Mo, the
original Angoria goat man" and the
largest breeder in the middle west. is
promoting the plan. The St. Louis Med
ical society has interested itself in the
movement.
At a meeting held Saturday night. DR..
John Zahorsky, an authority on the sub
ject. presented paped on Goats Milk
in Infant Feeding" in which he brought
out the advantages in its use. 1t was
shown that it is immune from tuber-
culosis, and easily digested.
The purpose of the promoters is to buy
a breeding farm in the Ozarks which will
be stocked with zoo to 1,o0o goats. Mr..
Hulit, who is to manage the dairy. will
be sent to France. Germany and Switzer-
land and the Isles of Malta to select the
best types of mich goats in each coun-
try. They will be placed on the farm and
scientific experiments VIII be made to
determine just what species are best
adapted to the climate and other condi-
lions peculiar to Missouri.
Hitherto there has been no well defined
method in feeding goats for dairy pur-
poses. but the St. Louis goat dairy. one
of the first Of its kind in the world will
develop what foods are best adapted to
produce the most satisfactory results.
1t is the company's intention 10 lease a
number of goats to families with infants
which can be kept at Their homes, thus
enabling them to have fresh milk con-
stantly. Where persons are too poor to
pay for leasing the animals a number are
To be rendered free Of charge.
During the discussion which followed
DR.. Zahorsky's treatise. the physicians
present called attention to the proverbial
health Of infants in the famed Kerry
Patch"
eWhatever else they had" said one
they never lacked for goats milk and
never saw a healthier and lustier lot Of
babies in my life. They had less call foI
doctors than any in the city"

GANG OF ROBBERS
Detectives Have Broken Up a
Hot Nest.
WHITING DIVIDED SPOlLS
Even Convicts in Penitentiary
Receive Dividends.

Junction City, Kan, Nov. 81. W.
Whiting was today bound over to the
United States grand jury on the charge
of completely in the recent postoffice rob-
berry at Morrill,, Kan. Whiting is charg-
ed by the officers with being the execu-
tive officer of the gang of robbers which
has been making things lively for the
banks of the smaller towns in Kansas
and Nebraska for some years past. Evil
dence is in the hands of the United States
district attorney to the effect that the
proceeds of the robberies were turned
over to Whiting who divided the money
among the members Of the gang. A num-
Der Of the members are in penitentiaries
in Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska and
4, is charged that they received their
regular share of the stolen money by
means of postofice money orders sent
them by Whiting.
Several sheriffs are said to be impli-
Gated in helping the gang along accord
ing to disclosures made by the United
States authorities.

Plano has two policemen-Lewis Lam
phear and jefferson Porter, who were Sc
lected as much for their polite address
and thoughtfulness as for their reputa-
tons as preservers of the peace. Every
night they are to be seen patroling the
principal streets with their eyes reprov-
ingly cast on unruly boys, but also watch
full for the unattended woman, who would
appreciate an escort home.
At a few minutes past midnight the
most important duty in upholding Plano s
reputation for municipal gallantry de-
wolves upon the police force. At that
time Pianos finest may be found
drawn up on the platform of the village
station awaiting the arrival of the last
west bound train.
1t is very dar kand the lonely women

friend is going the same way homeward.
Then it is that the finest does it's duty.
Madam, may 1 see that you get home
safely?" is the official salutation, in ac-
cordance with general order No. 80.
The woman looks up quickly half in
clined to scream, till she espies the star
of authority and the dotted hat of the pa
trolman. a smile of relief passes over
her face as she delivers her bundles with
her escort. Some nights there are so
many unattached women that the police
men have to organize them into two par
ties, according to route, and convoy them
home in rotation
On these occasions the finest" are said
to resemble delivery wagons more than

those whose wives are shoppers. but who
think it a hardship to stay up till mid
night in order to carry the bundles home
from the train.

FRUIT ON LONG VOYAGE.
From California to Manila, to Amaze
ment of Army Officers.


Santa Clara, Cal, Nov. 5-The posi-
bility of shipping fresh fruit to the Phil
ippines and Asiatic ports has been de-
monstrated by a successful shipment sent
by S. w. Charles, of PaIo Alto, from the
packing house of A. Block, of Santa
Clara
The shipment was made on the trans
port Sherman in cold storage, and the
fruit was five weeks in transit. The fruit
selected was from lot being prepared
for the London markets and included one
box of white Astrakhan apples, one box
of plums and one box of Bartlett pears.
Mr. Charles wrote TO his relative, Allan
L. Peck. assistant surgeon at Manila. no
tifying him of the shipment and asking
him to send full particulars of the condi-
ton of the fruit on arrival.
A reply has been received. indicating
that the fruit arrived in almost perfect
condition. The apples were sound.
''They took the officers off their feet"
remarks the correspondent, land my
quarters were besieged until they were
gone. The apples we get are small and
inferior in quality, coming from Australia
with the large meat shipments from there.
However they sell at ten to twenty-five
cents EACH
The plums were in perfect order also.
OF the pears four or five We're little past
the point of ripeness. The rest were ex-
cellent and without flaw
Refrigeration was not perfect, as the
fruit was with the stores for the transport
service mess The frequent withdrawal
of supplies for use on board the ship
caused a loss in refrigeration With com
plete refrigeration fresh fruit can be, no
doubt. successfully marketed in the Phil
ipDineS

FORWARDED TO WASHINGTON.
Letter From English Holders Of Co
Iombian Bonds,

London. Dec 16.--A lengthy letter
fTOm the council Of foreign bondhold-
ers. personally addressed to President
Roosevelt, putting forward the British
bOndhOlders' position anent Panama
and Colombia, has been forwarded by
the foreign Office to Ambassador Du-
rand, who has been instructed to hand
1t unofiicially to the president. The
letter recites the history of the Colon
bian debt and asks the president to
use his good Offices to secure an equita-
BILE assumption of a portion thereof
by the Panama leaders.
The statement telegraphed from The
Hague to the Morning Leader of this
city that both Holland and Great Brit
ain insist that Panama shall assume
liability for $15.000.OO0 of the Colon
bian del.t is emphatically denied by
the council. which points ont that no
such large sum was ever dreamed Of
as Panama's share Arbitration at
The Hague or the personal decision of
President Roosevelt would be quite
satisfactory to the council.
