A special from The New York
Herald to the Commercial-Appeal
the other day contained the follow
ing:
Charles Rankin, who said he was
one of the members of the negro
cavalry regiment that saved the day
at San Juan Hill. was held in $1,000
bail for trial on charge of burglary.
When leaving count Rankin said he
might call on President Roosevelt.
Il know Roosevelt welI," he
said. I was with him that day at
San Juan aud if it hadn't been for
the negro troops OH that occasion,
he wouldn't be alive today
Commenting OH the above, the
Commercial-Appeal says:
Charles Rankin may know Roose-
Welt we'll, and he may have been
with him on that day." but neith-
er he nor any other negroes could
have saved Roosevelt's life on San
Juan Hill for two very good reas-
ons. FIRST, Roosevelt's life was
not in danger that day" and sec
ondly, he was not in the fight at
all on San Juan Hill.
1t is astonishing to find to what
extremes this myth will 20. San
Juan Hill was assaulted and cap

Col. Wyckoff-the latter being

all time Roosevelt's claim to mill

captured Roosevelt decided that il
was time for him to charge some

A Few Items That May be of In

Il
The visitor to the Purchase Elk
position who has but a limited time
to see the great show, naturally
wishes to see the most important
parts. For his benefit we will Offer
a little advice which he will forget
before arriving at St. Louis.
Upon entering the Fair at the
LindeIl. or main, entrance, you will
save time by going to the large
buildings first. the most interesting
of which are the Varied Industries.
Manufactures. Educational. Agri-
cultural, Liberal Arts. Mines and
MetaIlurgy. Fine Arts. Transporta-
ton, Fisheries, Horticultural and
Government. The Electrical and
Machinery buildings are fine of
course. but we doubt that they will

erage person.
You can easily spend half day
in the Philippine reservation. half
day in the stock show. half day
in the forestry exhibit, two or three
hours with Uncle Sans cannon
display and the Smithsonian Insti-
tute bird cage, and many other
places. too numerous to mention.
These things you should see dur
ing the day but spend Your nights
upon the Pike: that is the time to
appreciate this medley Here you
will see some fine things and some
very poor ones. Among the best
are Hegenback's 5 Animal Show. the
Boer War, the Fire Fighters. the
Battle of Santiago. the Baby Incu-
bators. Trip to the North Pole,
etc. tt
Just before entering the Pike,
take supper in the Tyrolian Alps.
Be careful how YOU order or you
will have nothing left for the Pike
shows. In the Alps YOU will hear
the best instrumental aud poorest
vocal music Oh the grot.nds. but the
scenery Is very fine and it i fully
worth the IS cents admission to go
in. In here You should 60 in the

CANNING FACTORY.


n
An important step was taken By
our local truck growers and a few
town people last Monday-one tina
means much for the development o.
the county.
As previously announced, Mr.. T
w Wade. an experienced truck.
grower, who has been establishing
factories in this state. addressed the
truck-growers' association at the
court house. His talk was right to
the point. and much enthusiasm
was aroused. Many questions were
asked, and valuable information Sc
cured by those intending going into
the trucking business. Mr.. Wade
also told of the cost and manage
ment of canning factory, prices
paid for raw material. and many
other things that our people wished
to know.
At the close of Mr.. Wade's adj
dress, member of the association
circulated among those present and
secured promises to raise rs acres,
and possibly several acres more,
of tomatoes for the next seasons
run.
Then subscriptions to the stock
of the factory were taken. and suf-
6cieut money was raised to build
it. 1t is intended to get a conSid-
cradle amount more, however. as
the promoters do not want to launch
the enterprise without sufficient
capital to run il without being
cramped.
A committee Of six, one from
each district of the county. was ap-
pointed to make a thorough canvass
Of the farmers with view of get
ting more OF them interested in this
important movement. This conf
Inittee is composed of the following:

1T WON HIS CASE,

The Incident That Drought AbOuS
the "stovepiDe Verdict"
1t was a characteristic Of a certain
Tennessee colonel that when once his
oratory had begun to flow before the
jury nothing could stop it till the fount
was exhausted. On one occasion he
had just finished tearing his oppo-
nents argument to tatters when the
courtroom stovepipe fell with crash.
"Therey cried the colonel as the
clouds Of SCOT arose. There is a smile
furnished by nature herself! Just as
that stovepipe has come unjointed and
fallen useless to the ground so my ad-
versary's argument has fallen with as
loud a crash. One is not more hollow
than the other, not more in need Of
polish.
"And, gentlemen of the jury, what do
those clouds of SCOT and smoke resem-
ble-those black masses shutting all
they light upon-what do they resem-
BILE more than the malicious libels, the
black scandals. which my adversary
has poured into your ears and with
which he has endeavored to blacken
the character OF my clientT
His case had seemed hopeless. but
when he had finished the stovepipe
comparison the jury was converted
and returned what became famous in
western Tennessee as the "stoveplpe
verdict" in favor OF the colonePs cli-

What They Are and the Conditions
That Generate Them.
A waterspout is a miniature tornado
originating in a strong upward draft
OF air which occurs above the surface
Of a body of comparatively warm wa
ter. Its effect first becomes visible in a
circular motion at the point in the
clouds to which it ascends. This be-
comes n whirl, which condenses the
vapor at its center, causing the portion
OF the cloud there to drop downward
in the shape Of a gigantic jelly bag. At
the same time the continuing upward
draft increases the rapidity Of its orig
inal swirl and Of the condensed vapOr
caught within it until the ascending
and descending masses join to form
the waterspout.
Necessarily by this process the air
beneath the spout is rarefed, and thus
where the phenomenon occurs at sea
the water always seems to be sucked
up into It, although this is not really
the case to any considerable extent
For similar reasons where a water
spout or tornado passes over a build
ing 1t does most of its damage by ex-
hausting the air outside, causing what
is within to expand and blow the
structure to pieces.

ORANGE BLOSSOMS.
Their Use Rt Weddings the Survival
of an Ancient Custom.

Their Use Rt Weddings the Survival
of an Ancient Custom.
Authorities speak Of the use Of or.
ange blossoms at weddings as due to
the fact that the orange tree. bearing
its ripe golden fruit and fragrant fow-
ers at the same time, Is a symbol OF
fruitfulness. and this, we may take It,
Is the main reason Of the pleasing GUS
tom.
In Crete the bride and bridegroom
are sprinkled with orange flower wa
ter. and in Sardinia oranges are at
tached to the horns of the oxen which
draw the nuptial carriage. Or. Brewer
says that Saracen brides carried or
ange blossoms at weddin and sug-
gests that our modern - ~ is sur
rival or revival Of theirs.
The custom appears to have been in
reduced from France into England
bout 1S20-30. According to Littre,
Women at their marriage wear a
rown Of orange buds and blossoms;
lence the orange blossom is taken as a
ymbol Of marriage"
IN vanity Fair Thackeray speaks
f orange blossoms as touching EN-.
lcms Of female purity imported by Us
rom France This happy thought
aowever, Is merely a fancy OF his. for
orange blossoms. according TO French
scholars and writer's, simply indicate
that "mademoiselle" has attained the
status Of madame"

ONE WOMAN JUMPS TO HER DEATH

indianapolis, Ind, April 1S.--Threat
ened with death by FIRE 100 patients on
the third and fourth floors Of st. Vim
cents hospital became panic stricken.
and all who found strength to leave
their beds fought desperately with the
sisters and nurses to make their way
to the windows to jump into the street.
Long after the blaze on the second
floor had been extinguished the strug-
gle between the patients and attend
ants went on, and not in the history OF
the city has a FIRE developed such terri.
BILE scenes.
Miss Harriet Leahy, III with fever,
succeeded in reaching a window on the
fourth door and jumped to death in the
street
The injured are: Miss Kate Beach,
believed 10 be fatally injured by fall
ing from the third floor while trying to
escape by means of a rope made Of bed
clothing; Sister Superior Stella, serl-
ously injured by shock following a
surgical operation; Sister Nordica, Sc
riously injured by shock; William

fore the arrival OF the FIRST engine the
nurses and sisters fought and pleaded
with the patients.
The fire at the Occidental hotel for
almost two hours threatened to destroy
the principal retail district. Every
fire company in the city as well as
those from the outlying suburbs was
summoned. The house was nlled will
guests. and a panic was narrowly
averted. There were many narrow es

NEWFOUNDLAND OBJECTS.
Protest Over Clause In French Shore
Settlement.


Settlement.
ST. Johns, ~ r.. April 1S.-The text
Of the Anglo French colonial treaty
has not yet been published here. A
serious defect has been found in Il
which the colonial government is try
ing TO have corrected.
The second clause Of the French
shore arrangement obliges French and
British fishermen 10 terminate their
operations by Oct 20 each year. This
clause II enforced would make the
condition OF the Newfoundland fisher
men worse than before. because they
would be prevented from fishing for
six months Of the year Especially
would it debar their prosecution OF the
winter herring fishery at Bay OF Is
lands and Bonne bay, to which United
States and Canadian vessels resort for
herring cargoes. II would also be
likely to cause trouble between Great
Britain and the United States, mas
much as the fishermen OF the latter
country have a grant Of fishing rights
there by the treaty OF 1918.
IL is understood that the Newfound-
land government will not guarantee
the ratification OF the treaty unless
this defect be remedied.
