LOOKED LIKE PAY DAY.
When Soldiers Found Money That
Had Been stolen

Atlanta, JAM 24.-It develops that
instead of $4GO. the total sum of $1,40O,
has been found by soldiers at Fort Nc
Pherson hidden in various receptacles,
and this is just about the sum said to
have been stolen from a postoffice in
the Philippines before the Sixteenth
Regiment left Manila.
One of the privates of the regiment
is now detained in Manila on the
charge of having stolen the money,
while three of his comrades here have
found 1t all and spent it, One soldier
found 5000 some time ago and kept 1t
quiet. When news of the other find In
the pillow became noised abroad,
wise sergeant at the Fort made anoth-
err search and succeeded in locating
$500 tightly rolled up and hidden in the
receptacle used for ramrod in the
stock of a gun. Both the pillow and
the gun are said to have belonged to
the private who is now held in Manila
on the charge of having stolen the
money from the postofice.
When the $500 find was investigated
by officers at the Fort, the soldiers
who found the money claimed to have
spent all but $50 of 1t in single
night.

IN COLLISION AT SEA.
Schooner Luce Was Probably Sunk
by the Buttrick.

Schooner Luce Was Probably Sunk
by the Buttrick.
Vineyard Haven, Mass, Jan. 24.-The
schooner John H. Buttrick bound from
Boston for Wilmington, N. c., cOllided
with the granite-laden schooner Hat
tie c. Luce OF Rockport, Me, twenty
miles southeast of Highland Light last
night. One man from the Luce is
known to have been drowned and two
others clambered aboard the Buttrick
which put in here to-day. The fate
of the Luce is unknown.
Mate Sprague of the Buttrick, who
had charge of the vessel when the col
lision occurred, claims that the Luce
had no port light burning and that
this fact caused the collision. The
Buttricks stem struck the Luce
about amidships on the port side
Her jbboom struck the Luce's
mainmast, breaking it off, and all three
masts were swept away, leaving her
entirely helpless.
1t was not known how badly the hull
of the Luce was damaged, and the
Buttrick stayed by her two hours, when
she lost sight of her deck lanterns and
was compelled to leave. Two men from
the Luce succeeded in reaching the
Buttricks deck, but a third man, who
attempted to save himself by reaching
the Buttrick, slipped on the icy rails
and went overheard. There were seven
men, including Capt. Heaten, on board
the Luce.
Mate Sprague of the Buttrick says
the Luce would make a southeast drift,
and should she keep afloat, would in
all probability drift in the track of
fishermen, in which case the remain

rescued. AS her stern boat was badly
stove, they would have no means of
saving themselves unless taken off by
some other vessel.

TELLER WAS ELECTED.
Colorado Democrats Finally Secured
a Quorum.

Denver. Col, Jan. 24.-At 5 O'Clock
bers of the Senate and House cast
their ballots, 81 in number for Senator
Henry NJ. Teller, to succeed himself
as United States senator, and he was
declared elected by W. H. Adams, who
presided.
The result was reached after a week
of untiring effort on the part of the
Democratic leaders. during which
many rumors of treachery had been
circulated, and many delays had oc-
CURED by reason of the absence from
call of different members of the
assembly. Since Monday morning,
the Democratic Senate has been prac-
tically in continuous session, and since
Wednesday at noon, the joint session
of the Democratic members of both
houses has been continuous.
From yesterday morning all Demo-
Gratis We're ready to cast their ballots
for Senator Teller, except Representa-
tive ]. N. Madden of Denver. The
absence of MIR. Madden was unaccount-
ed for until this afternoon, when it was

grip, and had been forbidden to leave
his house by physicians. In spite of
his condition, however. he decided to
attend this afternoon. and at the hour
named, was in his seat and cast his
vote for Senator Teller.
There were no Republicans of either
House present, and the legality of the
election is not admitted by the Repub-
lican leaders.
After the ballot had been taken, Sen
ator Teller was escorted to the plat
form and expressed his thanks for the
patient zeal of his friends, which had
won for him a victory He was elect
ed six years ago by a practically
unanimous vote of the Legislature, and
he disclaimed the belief that any act
of his since then has turned the senti-
ment of the people of Colorado against
him.
United States Senator Thomas NJ.
Patterson followed in a speech in
which he said the Democracy of the
state is now more closely knit together
than ever before. He did not think it
likely that a contest would be made
against Senator Teller.
Other speeches followed, and the
joint session adjourned.

CHATHAM GETS S4O,152.

School Fund AppOrtiOnment.

How other Counties Share I'm the
School Fund AppOrtiOnment.
Atlanta, Jan. 24-State School Com
missioner w. 3. Merritt completed to-
day the apportionment of the school
fund for 1908. The total fund is $1,547,-
1872. Chatham county gets for the year
$40, 1852, and other South Georgia coun-
ties share in the apportionment as fol-
lows: Bryan, $5,O26; Effingham, $5,401;
Mcintosh, "a ,493; Liberty, $9,92S; Glynn,
S1O,544; Ware, Sab; Waycross, $2,872;
Pierce, $50; Wayne, $6,470; Jesup, S.
4O1; Brooks, $1,000; Lowndes, 1919;
Thomas, 1908; Townsville, $685.
While the school population has in
creased about per cent. over last
year, the apportionment is only about
y of per cent. larger than in 1902.
Commissioner Merritt to-day sent out
an important circular letter to the
county superintendent of the state, in
which he calls attention to the fact
that he is mailing itemized statements
of their accounts to each of them, as
many have asked for them for the
purpose of making a showing to their
grand juries. He also states that the
part of the school fund available ear
ly in the year will be paid considera-
bly, earlier this year, and urges that
itemized statements be sent in with
out delay. Important information rela-
tive to examinations for teachers is
also contained in the letter.

WILL EXTEND THE TIME.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The State De-
partment is considering the advisable
ity Of extending the period of time al
lowed for the ratification of the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, now pending before
the United States Senate. The time al

ENGLAND is GENEROUS.
Shows a Disposition to Treat Liber-
ally with Venezuela.

Washington, Jan. 24.-An active ex-
change is going on between England
and Venezuela, as represented by Mr..
Bowen, respecting the latter's proposal
to raise the blockade of the Venezuelan
ports as a condition precedent to fur
Their negotiations.
The British government is showing
an amicable spirit in this matter. and
there are hopes of a satisfactory con-
clusion if Germany can be induced to
accept the agreement about to be ar
rived at between Ambassador Herbert
and Minister Bowen. The German
government, however, has so far re-
turned no answer to Mr.. Bowen's prop
osition which fact is the subject OF
unpleasant comment here.
1t is learned that the guarantees Of
fered by Mr.. Bowen are regarded by
the United States government as emf
nently reasonable and sufficient. They
include a proposition by President Cas-
tro to turn over the entire Venezuelan
customs system to the allies for the
collection of their indemnities and au-
thoriza the allies to place an official
in each of the Venezuelan custom
houses to make sure that they secure
their proper proportion of the receipts.
Nenezuela's initial proposition to the
allied Powers remains unanswered by
Germany, and the blockade continues.
This is the situation in a nutshell to-
day, but it by no means indicates the
diplomatic activity in Washington at
this time The feeling is increasing
here that unless the blockading squad
rons withdraw from Venezuelan wa
tiers within a comparatively short time,
grave complications may arise.

BLOCKADE STAYS ON.
Allies Declare They Will Not Call 1t
OF as Yet.

London, Jan. 24.-It was learned to-
day by a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press that Great Britain, Ger
many and Italy have agreed that Min
lister Bowen's proposal that the block
ade of Venezuela be Immediately
raised cannot be entertained,
and that coercive action must
continue until a proper guaran-
tee is forthcoming. The Foreign Of
fees hold that any other course would
entail ~ failure of the attempts to
bring about settlement by diplomacy
at Washington.
Regarding the position of the other
claimants against Venezuela, the
blOckading Powers contend that their
claims must be satisfactorily settled
before the demands of countries who
are not actively asserting them can
receive attention.

TREATY FOR ALASKA.
United States and England Trying to
Settle the boundary.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Secretary Hay
and Sir Michael Herbert, the British
ambassador, to-day signed a treaty
providing for the settlement of the
Alaskan boundary question.
Efforts in this direction have been
put forth for a long time, the pres

through the Klondike TO the sea with
out passing through American terri

their right to the coast line and the
control of the ports. The treaty signed

Profanity In Europe.

The most ordinary conversation in
Spain is rarely carried OH without oaths
being interpolated, and invocations Of
saints and expressions which border on
swearing are common even on the lips
Of ladies. Spanish workmen do not un-
derstand an order unless it is delivered
to them with a strong garnishing of
profanity; masters swear at their serv-
ants, ladies at their children, school
masters at their scholars and officers at
their men. 1t must be remembered that
all over the continent profanity is more
common than in England. In Germany
even it is not uncommon to hear school
masters swear at the boys, state of
things unheard of and impossible here,
while both in France and Italy oaths
are taken as matter Of course and
applied equally to man and beast. At
the same time it should be remembered
that most continental "cuss words"
are not taken so seriously as ours

The MischievOus EN- n.

Down through the meadows we come
to the playground of the poet Shelley,
where the old mill still stands, its
grinding stones propped against its
sides, quietly registering the fight of
time Swans glide to and fro upon the
pond or rest upon its edge. Black and
white rabbits scurry across the wood
ed paths. Fantailed pigeons disport
upon the lawn. In the tall grass tiny
fawns feign sleep. while furtively
watching with half closed eye, and
everywhere the mischievous emu
stalks about in conscious pride of his
importance in this strange land.
Being a special aversion of the game
keepers, this bird takes apparent de-
light in annoying him in every way.
Frying about until he finds choice
nest of pheasant's eggs, he dispatches
the dainty morsels instantly, thereby
destroying the hopes of both keeper
and hen. Every effort to break him of
this perniciolls habit has been unsuc-
cessful. Once the keeper resolved upon
a plan which he thought would with
out doubt prove effectual. Having
hard boiled a number of eggs, he car
ried them in steaming hot water to the
field and placed them before the ever
ready emu. Much to his surprise. the
dished seemed to appeal strongly to
the voracious appetite Of the bird. for
in twinkling they were gone. a SEEM
ing look of wonder accompanying his
grateful appreciation of this unusual
attention.-Century Magazine.
