THE PRESIDENTS TURKEY
Ancien. coiored Man Provided a cood
Target for Mr.. Roosevelt.

washington, Aug. 1S.-Widawa,or
Va, h scene of Professor Langley,s
experiments in air navigation, is aiso
historic as the place where at least
three presidents Of the United States
were wont to go for a short outing
President Cleveland used to make it
practice, to go to Whitewater frequently
during the ducking season and en-.
gage in his favorite sport. President
Harrison also visited Whitewater oc.
casionally. President Roosevelt went
to Whitewater a year or SO ago, not to
hunt ducks, however. The presidents
sporting BLOOD had been aroused by
accounts he received of wild turkey
hunting in the country pack of Wide.
water and he determined to try his
luck. He got turkey and an old
negro who lived in the vicinity got a
good position as messenger in one Of
the government departments in this
city. These two incidents are connect
ed by an interesting story that is told
by the natives of Whitewater, which is
as follows:
When the president started inland in
his search for wild turkey he ran
across an old black man. who very
kindly told Mr.. Roosevelt of an ideal
spot in which to wait for the elusive
birds. The president bit eagerly at the
negro's offer to guide him to this spot
and suffered himself to be seated COM
tfortably on a log. The negro told hin
the turkeys would surely come, as that
particular spot was their favorite feed
ing ground, and then the guide went
away, ostensibly to work, leaving the
president with coat collar turned up
%shivering in the cold gray dawn. Mean.
while the negro had laid a narrow trail
i of corn from his oWn poultry yard to
the spot which he had told the presl-
dent to watch. Leaving the president
he went Immediately to his little farm
and selecting q fine, large gobbler, SCI
him on the corn trail. The bird was
particularly hungry n made Short
work of the first hundred yards. he
kept on his way blissfully ignorant Of
! the distinguished hunter who was eas.
| erly awaiting him. Suddenly he move
in sight of the president among the
trees and Mr.. Roosevelt took carelul
ann and fired. He did not miss and ca.
ried the wild turkey" in triumpn u

and treated the guests there Win d
thrilling tale of his hunting eXpedllloL.
I; Everybody declared the bird the HES
! he had ever eaten. The president was
much pleased and sent for the ou wi
ored man.
Since that time the black man q IL
held a fine position as messenger IN sa
one of the departments. He keeps y. T
secret which was known only to hinser
and the turkey gobbler, but solueNv IN
the story leaked out and IS no" .ha

BEAR TOO AGGRESSIVE.
Russo Japanese Rivalry Growing Very
Intense in Korea.

London, Aug. 1s.-The Picking CORE
spondent OF he Times. telegraphed
from Seoul, capital Of Corea, August
l3, describes the situation there, the
outcome of Russo-Japanese rivalry, as
very serious, and the extension of Rus
sian activity into Corea as most ON
inous. Corea, lie says, is inevitably
destined to be the field where the great
question of Russian or Japanese SUI
premacy in the far east will be solved.
AT present Corea Is exceedingly an
xious, fearing hat it's future as an in
dependent empire is gravely menaced,
and that reasons only too we'll founded
lead to the belief hat Japan, in order
to restore the balance of power dis
turbed by Russian aggression in Man
churia, may quietly occupy Corea.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 19.-The Georgia
prison commission, which has been in
~vestigating the whipping of Mamie De
Girls, q white woman convict on the;
state prison farm, made its report to-
day. With the report came the an;
nouncelnent Of the resignation of War,

within his authority in whipping Miss,
De Girls and that he was led to it by
severe aggravation. The commission
concludes h a this particular punish
ment was an error on the part Of the
warden, who, recognizing that his use:

FACTS FROM THE BENCH
New Jersey Judge Talks of Stock job
bling and Wall Street Methods.


Newark. N. j., Aug. 1S.-Argument
in the appointment Of a receiver for
the Universal Tobacco was
resumed today. Counsel for the de.
PENDANT said that the fact that the
corporation wanted more capital was no
proof Of insolvency. He asked:
Where are those men who have made
millions out of the scheme by selling
out?"
Vice Chancellor Pitney, interrupting
said: Il do not quite agree with coun-
sci that they made millions. 1 assume
that they made about $500, 600, less ex-
penSes. What they got beyond that
was by cheating somebody"
At the close of Mr.. McCarter's argu-
ment, Wheeler H. Peckham followed for
the defense. He began by reading the
text Of the new Massachusetts corpora
ton law, but was interrupted by Vice
Chancellor Pitney.
The Massachusetts Judiciary is de-
generating" announced the vice chan
cellor, and I don't consider their
opinion any more. Thirty years ago 1t
was different"
When Nj. Psckham resumed by refer
ring to the vice 6hancellor's opinion of
Massachusetts as similar to that of the
opinion expressed by the court a few
stock imitation, he was again inter
rupted by the vice chancellor, who said:
"You know n I know, and everybody
ought to know. that stock is inflated
to unload it O the public. I con.
sider it a fraud, and the people who
buy are fools. The men who initiate tbs
stock take advantage of the old adage
All fools are not yet dead 1t may
be an old fashioned idea, but it i:
ground into me and 1 am afraid I can
not shake it Off"
Mr.. Peckham then resumed his ar
| Sument.
