The Howe & Stetson Co,
PE0NAGE AT FASHODA.
The English Declare the Natives Tn
 Are Hard to Manage.

Lile ElsilSn Declare the Natives There
 Are Hard to Manage.
 At the present moment, when Anglo French relations are of the best, it is interesting to draw attention to a place which at one time threatened a rupture between them. Fashoda lies on the White Nile, some six hundred miles above Khartoum. It was on Sunday. September 4, 1898, that Lord Kitchener entered hhartoun. On September 19 he reached Fashoda only to find Cap tain Marchand and 120 Senegalese sol- diers intrenched there beneath the French flag. Marchand had reached the place on July 10 after encountering enormous difficulties. The crisis was acute, but a diplomatic bearing saved theeday, and on December Il Marchand and his men returned to France by the Sobat, Abyssinia and Jibuti. France. of course, still feels a little sore on the whole ircident-needlessly, we think. < We therefore present, with due allow ance for bias, French view of the situation at Fashoda at the present mo- ment. 5I. sI
 It is supplied by an explorer, M. Rog- CT Lazarehe d'Azay. Struck by the im- portance attached to the place and by the general ignorance as to it's charac- ter, he organized an expedition to Fa- shoda. His account is not calculated to arouse enthusiasm. The surrounding country is but a pestilential marsh en- loving the worst reputation; nor does he think that the English would long retain so insalubrious position were 1t not for the historic souvenir attach ing to it.
 The garrison has been reduced to a minimum and consists of two officers and few native soldiers. They occupy a building erected by Commandant Marchand and still known by his name. The surrounding country admits of lit- tie development, although some effort in that direction is being made.
 Hunting for big game is most rigor- ously forbidden except under the most exacting conditions, and the commerce in ivory is practically a government monopoly. M. d'Azay was able to pho- tograph the arrival of an ivory convoy, from which the magnificent tusks, la- belled Fashoda, were borne by natives in chains but the officers carefully ex- plained that the ivory was only sold by it's owners for current cash, and that there was no compulsion in the matter.
 The river population consists of Chill louks on the left bank and Denkas on the right. They are miserable speci- mems of humanity and of an intelli- gence little raised above the brute cre- ation. They are unsociable and difficult to manage. Both races are of large stature, with an average of over six feet in height, and their emaciated aspect makes them appear even taller. --The Sphere.

Queer Ideas of People Applying fo, Dramatic Positions. ,. l. People who apply for positions ir
 dramatic companies sometimes have queer ideas as to the consistency oi

Several years ago was man aging a company doing standard and Shakespearean plays in cities of the middle west One day young man beardless, dignified, with all the marks of rural training-came up to me iri the corridor of hotel in little Indiana town. He wanted to act and wanted it badly.
 "'What have you played?' I asked him.
 " I made big hit he replied, when the Crescentville Literary Lyceum played Romeo and Juliet" last month. "'What did you play-Romeo?' Oh, no, sir. I played the apothe- cary
 Make a hit in the apothecary?' l had a right to be astonished. You
 know, the part is a very small one

 whose poverty causes him to break the law by selling poison to Romeo. 1T made very big nit,' reiterated the dramatic aspirant, confidently. I'm
 deed. so great was my success that l did an encore
 How I was now too much aston ished for words. Well, you see, it was this way the youth explained. My conception of the role was original-all my friends say I'm very original in everything l do. You know the place where the apothe- cary gives Romeo the poison and Ro- meo hands the old beggar purse We'll, it's been so long since the apoth- ecary knew what money was that the instant he felt the purse in his hand I made him fall in a fit. I rolled around for awhile and frothed at the mouth: then two men came on the stage and carried me away
 But how did you do the encore?' "The boy looked at me contemptu- ously for a moment before he replied. Oh, say, you don't know what an en-
 core is. The audience liked my acting
 so much when I had that fit that they clapped and clapped and wouldn't let
 Romeo finish the scene. So I came out
 and bowed, and they handed up a
 bunch of American Beauties that moth-
 CT sent me. Then gave them the en-
 core-I pretended to fall in another fit. Philadelphia Telegraph.

PROFESSOR SANFORD
Heir to Fortune of Seven Millions.

Heir to Fortune of Seven Millions.
 Bridgeport, Sept. S.-By the death of Henry Sanford, his father, Professor s. Sanford of Yale university is heir to an estate valued at seven millions.
 Henry Sanford, vice president of the Adams Express company, died on Sun day at his residence in Bridgeport, hay ing been i'll since the apoplectic stroke he sustained shortly before the death of his wife In their summer home at New castle, Ont, several months ago.
 Born in Bedding, Conn.,, on January IS, 1925, he. spent his early life on farm. MT. Sanford was educated in the public schools there and the White Plains academy. He subsequently, served as tutor in the academy for a number of years.
 After failing in the grocery business he went to work in the New York office of the Adams Express company, then a small concern. He left to act as sec retary for P. T. Barnum, at the old American Museum
 At the beginning of the civil war MT. Sanford arranged with several southern railroad and express com panies for the forwarding of packages consigned to Union soldiers. At the end of the war MT. Sanford was made director of the Adams company. In 1891 MT. Sanford caused sensation ill the financial world by bringing about the sudden disposition of the late John HnnU ha iafa ident and vice president respectively, of the company. He was. elected to it's presidency and immediately brought suit to compel MT. Hoey and MT. Spooner to restore to the company something like a million dollars, but the suit was settled out of court.
 A few years ago. MT Sanford gave New York and London society sur prise by preventing the marriage of his granddaughter, Miss Kittie Sanford, to Sir Robert Peel. He employed Scot land Yard detectives to ascertain the financial rating of the Baronet, and on the report that he owed $600,000, which he expected Miss Sanford to furnish the means of paying, he forbade the marriage and threatened to disinherit his granddaughter if she disobeyed his wishes.
 MT. Sanford left an estate which it is believed will inventory about $7,000,- 000
 MT Sanford was fond of telling of an incident of MT Lincoln's famous jour ney through Baltimore in February, 1861. The rumor had been pretty wide ly circulated that an effort would be made to prevent MT. Lincoln from | reaching Washington alive and four men were deputized to escort him to the Capitol MT. Sanford, although a democrat, was one of that quartette of men, Allen Pinkerton, N. B. Judd of Chicago, and MT. Franciscus, general manager of the Pennsylvania railroad, being the others. They got the presi- dent into the White House in safety and in secret. MT Sanford was twice married. The issue of his first marriage was one son, Samuel S. Sanford, who is profess sor of music at Yale. On September 12, 1898, MT. Sanford was married again to Mrs. Olive Wilmot Burchard, the widow of Dr. Thomas H. Burchard It was she who died in Canada early in the summer.
 The summer home of Mr. and Mrs Sanford for several years past had been at Bridgeport, Conn. Their New York ctiy residence was at 50 West Fifty-second street.

 GROUND TO DEATH
c. B. KAREN ATTEMPTS TO SIG. NAL HIS ENGINE AND IS RUN CARS.

c. B. Harbin, brakeman employed by the Louisville and Nashville railroad, was run over yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock in the yards just south of the Fourteenth street crossing, and so badly injured that he died in two hours after being removed to St Vincent's hospital.
 According to witnesses Harbin was en- deavoring to signal his engine. In order to be seen he stepped on the A. G. &. track which runs almost parallel with that of the Louisville and Nashville. He did not see an A. G. s. switch engine which was backing string of cars from the opposite direction. The unfortunate man was caught beneath the wheels be- fore he was aware of his danger and his body horribly mutilated.
 The injured man was taken to St. Vim cents where everything possible was done for his relief He was conscious to the last, although suffering intense agony, and asked that his body be carried to Decatur for interment. Harbin was a married man about 35 years old, and leaves wife and two children. His home was in Decatur, but his family resided in Birmingham. No blame attaches to the engineer on the Alabama Great Southern switch engine, as Harbin stepped direct ly before the approaching train.
 The remains were taken to Lige Loy's undertaking establishment and prepared for burial They will be shipped to De- catur today for interment

INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

President J. w Morrison of the De catur Car Wheel and Manufacturing company, of Birmingham, says that his concern is not only not connected with the car wheel trust that Is said to have been organized in New York last week but that 1t is not going into that or any other trust. Vice President W. F. New bert, whose name appeared in the tele' graphic story sent out from New York last Saturday as being one of the persons present at the trust meeting was not in attendance and had nothing to do with the organization. He Is at a loss to know how his name came to be mentioned in the report.
 The Decatur Car Wheel and Manufac- turing company is one of the most pros- porous industries here. Its output Is all ways in demand and while 1t has recent ly curtaiIed it's payroll somewhat tho works will always be in operation.
 Vice-President W. H. Hassinger of the Republic Iron and Steel company an- nounced that the Birmingham rolling mills, which have been idle since July ?, would resume operations next Monday.
 The mill will require about 80 per cent of the operating force when work is resumed, and it is believed that the full force will be at work in short time thereafter Over nine hundred men re- turn to work Monday.
 The departments to start up are as fol- lows: No 1 forge, sixteen-inch bar mill, twelve-inch bar mill, eight-inch guide mill, No 9 sheet mill, No, 2S scrap fur mace.
