of the bantaInweight championship. John
Hertz, manager for Forbes, declared that his
man was counted out in eight seconds, and
he expressed desire for another match in

willing that his boy should fight, as he is
confident Frank can whip Forbes again.

In Charles Albertus Bender, the Carlisle
school Indian, Connie Mack, manager Of
the champion Athletics, has undoubtedly
uncovered the baseball find of the present
season. says the New York Sun. Already
Bender has made a great record for him
self, both personally and by his phenonl-
email pitching.
Cold as the proverbial iceberg, with
speed like catapult curves that the ex-
cellent, and, best Of all, control of the
ball that Is perfect, Bender gives promise
of becoming the premier slabnan OF the
business. Nobody is more pleased over
the Indians success than Mack, for when
he announced early this season that he
had signed Bender the quaker city base
ball populace pointed significantly to their
heads and sighed. To-day, however, Mack
Is doing the laughing.
Personally Bender Is study. He Is
not 81 years old, yet he stands 6 feet 2
inches and weighs 1870 pounds. He has the
chest and shoulders Of fully grown man.
He boasts of exceptionally good habits and
does not know the taste Of either liquor
or tobacco
Off the ball field Bender is modest and
one of the best behaved players in either
Of the two big leagues He Is a typical
Indian, having the long, straight black
hair characteristic of the race, and heavy
features that are cold and expressionless

be a big mistake to go back to the old rule

umpires there would be no change.

WHOLE FAMILY
Of Women Successfully We'd by
One Man.
Married Widow and Two Daugh-
ters in Turn and Now Takes
Youngest Girl to Wife.

Tullahoma, Tenn, March 31.-In-
formation has reached here of the
marriage of John Newberry and Miss
Patsy Barron. Newberry lives about
forty miles from Tullaho oma on one of
the spurs of the mountain. There
would be nothing unusual in the
marriage if it was not for the previons
matrimonial ventures Of Newberry.
About thirty-fve years ago he married
the widow Sallie Barron, who was
then the mother of three daughters,
Judy, Martha and Patsy. Four years
after the marriage with the widow she
died, leaving one child, son, by
New berry. After waiting about one
year he married Judy, the oldest
daughter of his deceased wife. In two
years Judy followed her mother to the
grave, leaving a girl baby. Again,
waiting reasonable time to mourn,
he then took unto himself Martha to
wife, who after living a number Of
years, followed her sister and mother
to the grave. So the marriage last
week OF Newberry and Patsy absorbs
the whole family of original Barroms.
Now the question arises what kin to
each other are the off springs Of the
four marriages.

CONSERVATION AMONG TIGERS
Chief Constable Osborne lnaugu-

Warning to Those Reported

A. S. Osborne, the new district chief
constable, paid an Official visit yes
terday to the places in Columbia
which had been reported to him as

he gave warning that they might as
we'll 60 out of business, as he intends
to enforce the law and will prosecute
those whom he finds violating the dis
pensary law.
The keepers of the places which are
on the chief constable's black list seem
to think that he acted very fairly
with them in giving them notice OF
his intentions to seize whatever fix
lures his men may come upon, and
that, instead of merely confscating the
liquor and the paraphernalia, be will
proceed to have the parties indicated
in the courts.
The people who have been handling
liquors and beer say that they have
not been. violating the law as fagrantly
as has been done elsewhere. They
think that for a while it will be more
profitable for them to 'tgo way back

We HAVE FURLED IT.
Judge |. F. Simmons Reply 10
Father Rayan's "The Con-
quersd Banner.

Fought in bloody, deathly fray;
For We swore to those who gave it,
That In triumph We would wave it,
Or aife's crimson tide should lave 1t
Ere to blue should yield the gray
Onward, fearless, mid the rattle
and the din and smoke of battle,
While death hurtled on the air,
We have borne it; never counting
Cost, while on the ramparts mounting,
Every obstacle surmoUnting,
But to plant that banner there.
Yes, tits taken down, all faded,
And, like those who bore it, jaded,
For through lakes of blood they
Waded,
Nor did weary footsteps lag.
Oh! twas hard to fold and yield it,
While man was left TO shield it,
Or sword and arm to WELD it,
For twas Dixie's bonnie flag.
Yet we furled it all in sorrow,
Nor could hope or comfort borrow
From the promise of the morrow,
For our 6ag had ceased to wave.
And ne knew no more defyTng
Foes we'd see it o'er us flying,
Us to cheer and soothe the dying
For 'twas furled DER Dixie's grave.
Furled it, for the hands that held
While the foe with fury shelled it,
And had torn, but never felled it
Now, alas! were dead and cold.
Now that banner, which so proudly
Thousands owned and cheered sc
loudly,
And not one e'er followed cow'dly,
Never more would spread fold.
Furled it, to unfold it never,
For we'd made our last endeavor.
And that banner hence forever
Must tattered emblem be
OF the hopes dead comrades nourish-
ed,
Hopes we all SO proudly cherished,
Hopes that have forever perished,
Perished in bloody sea.
Those who bore that banner loved it,
And, though conquered, they have
proved it
Upon many field Of strife;
They have borne it when twas riven,
When by fiery tempests driven.
For its triumph fought and striven,
And, to shield its honor, given
Heart, and arm, and blood, and life.
We have furled it, but its story
Of misfortune and of gloyy-
Until unborn heads are hoary-
History and allegory
Will preserve its colors bright,
And the few hands that upbore it
While the shrieking missiles tore it,
And its foemen fell before it,
Meier will fade from memory's sight.
Furled it, when the hosts dismembered,
All their hopes and visions embered,
Furled it sadly, but remembered
That It's record stainless stood,
That no coward hand had borne it,
Foes, though conq'ring, could not
scorn it;
Stains it lad, but these adorn it,
Stains OF hero martyrs blood.
Yes, we furled it, ne'er forgetting
That our once bright sun was setting,
Setting in somber sky.
And when darkness hrooded DER US,
Fortune gone, oppression wore US,
Hope held out no light before US,
Only honor comfort bore US,
This was left-we need not die.
And. though sad and weary hearted,
Signs We gave to hopes now thwart-
ed,
Tears to comrades, friends departed,
On new life then we started,
Hopeful for the by and by.
