Stories of Here and There

Claims for damages for this and
that were such common thing in
connection with the late carnival that
the managers simply accepted the re-
quests as matter of fact, but the one
that staggered them came FROM a
woman.

as she stepped up to the wicket at the
headquarters and addressed LOWS

show
Il am, madam" was the answer.
What can I do for you?"

Eyes, sir" she continued, and her
voice rose with her unconcealed anger.
Il am from Missouri and I never saw
such rude people in my life. What are
you going to do about that?" she ask
ed, and suiting the action thrust the
broken handle of an umbrella in Mr..
Betz's face.
"That umbrella cost me SIS and it
has been broken by some of your peo-
pie right here on these grounds and
want you to pay me for it," she
screamed.
"Oh. madam" and Mr.. Betz started
to explain, but he never got any fur

Among local patrons of sports a
story is now in circulation which re-
lates how Peter Miesen once served for
a week or more as private secretary to
Tom Sharkey, the heavyweight pu-
gilist, without ever receiving any sal
airy Or even enjoying the title.
1t was at Colorado Springs, where
Pete occupied room next that of the
fighter. After some neighborly visit
ing. the two became quite chummy,
and when Sharkey would come in
mornings, after his daily exercise, he
would bundle himself up in bed and
say:
Just run through my mail. will you.
EePete, while I am cooling off,
Pete, always obliging and friendly,
would regularly read the mail to the
big fighter, and then. by request, would
call a stenographer to the room and
dictate replies to such letters as SEEM
ed to demand it. Sharkey would say:
Does me manager say to put me
monaker on dat?" and being so as
Jsured, he would sign the document, and
Pete would dictate letter to go with
it.
This had been going on about a
week or two when Tommy Ryan and
some of the other boys arrived, and
one day Ryan said to Miesen:
Il wonder who is reading Sharkey' s
mail to him now"
. why, I have been reading his let
ters in the mornings" replied Pete,
"but how did you know"
/. We'll, you see. he can't read or write
and only learned to sign his name a
few months ago. SO it's cinch he's
got to find an obliging friend wherever
he goes or else pay some one a salary

THURSDAY, AUG. 20, 1908.
WILL THE CUP STAY?

The first of the great international
the third time Sir Thomas Upton will
endeavor to carry away the trophy
that has never been wrested from us
since first the America brought it to
this side of the water. For the third
time a Shamrock will search for the
luck that should go with the name.
Millions of people on both sides of the
Atlantic will watch eagerly today the
bulletins that tell the story of the
cups fortunes.
Opinion on this side of the water is
very pronounced in favor of the Amer
lean competitor, and there can be no
doubt that it is based upon the merits
of the defender. In the weeks and
months when every item of prepara-
ton is under the eye of experts, when
every inch of wood and of canvas is
searched for its tale, the merits and
the defects of the respective yachts
are absolutely ascertained. In the trial
races and in the spins necessary to put
all the gear in racing trim, experienced
eyes test the racing capacity of the
boats. It would be wonderful if these
judges should be mistaken. and they
are fixed in the opinion that Reliance
will win.
If we were depending this year upon
the Columbia. splendid boat that she
is, we should need to be nervous over
the result; for Shamrock III. is Ger
tainly the most dangerous of all the
a substantial advance in the craft of
designers and the skill of builders in
America as well as In England; and
1t is believed that Reliance is as much
superior to all her predecessors as
Shamrock III is to her namesakes
The heavy time allowance that she is
obliged to give will be compensated by
the very speed-making qualities which
required it. The country will be
vastly disappointed if she does not
come home many minutes in the
lead.
The challenging boat, under present
conditions, is always at a great dis
advantage. Under the terms of the
contest she must cross the ocean under
her own sail. The delicate racing ma
chimes which nowadays contest for the
cup are not built for seagoing pur-
poses; and although the passage is a
good deal of farce, still boat suf-
fers somewhat from the precautions
that must be taken and the strain of
voyage. This, must be taken into ac-
count in considering our long list of
successes. as it must in the races that
are about to be sailed. But in any
event, America believes that the cup
is safe.
If it is ever to leave these shores,
we would rather surrender it to Sir
Thomas Upton, true sportsman and
gentleman that he is, than to any
other who ever engaged in the quest.
Yet we think that he will go back
third time empty handed. Meantime
everybody hopes for good weather.

contest. an exciting finish and the tri-

This would enable Minister Leishman to obtain audiences with the Sultan direct, instead of having to deal with officials of the Turkish foreign office, which has resulted in long delays in the consideration of his representations.
 This government some years ago took up the matter with the Porte, but the finances of the Sultan's government were not such then as to permit raising the legation at Washington to an embassy.

Effective Oct. 1. the office of the general superintendent of the Western division of the Southern Railway. c. s. McManus, will be removed to Birmingham from Chattanooga. The positive statement is made upon information received from MT. Eugene Brown. of Brown Bros, who states that one-half of the sixth floor of the Woodward building has been leas- ed to the Southern Railway, for the pur- poses named. and that the rooms will be vacant by the 1st of October ready for the Chattanooga force. Arrangements have been made to shift tenants on the sixth floor of the Woodward to the seventh or eighth floors and to the new First Ma tional Bank on Twentieth street and Sec ond avenue. It was desired by MT. Nc Manus to get offices in the Woodward building. so that he could be within easy reach of the general offices of the various coal and iron manufacturing companies, many of them having offices in the same building. Because of great objection to the removal made by Chattanooga re- gently, there were some doubts expressed that the change would be made. The statements of MT. Brown to-day that a lease had been made for one half of the sixth floor makes the matter definite, and the general superintendent of the Western division of the great system will be here by the 1st of October.
