Visitors to the Worlds Fair at St.
Louis will find in the Inside Inn a
decided novelty in expOSitions. A
splendid hotel, with all the modern
conYeniences, and the comforts of
home, with capacity for 5000
guests, has been built and equipped
entirely within the grounds.
This great hotel, which covers an
area of 400 by 500 feet is situated
in the wooded section of the grounds,
and it's surroundings are ideal. 1t is
;Ust fare enough from the crowds and
hustle of the great fair to afford a
quiet and home-like resting place, and
at the same time to be within easy
access of all the points of interest.
From the broad verandas that sur
round the Inn many of the beautiful
IaVilions on the Plateau of States may
be seen. A brief walk Will lead the
guest to the wonderful Cascades and
the Overwhelmingly beautiful landscape
and architecture that make up the
focal point of this greatest of all ex-
positions. No one of the large exhibit
palaces is a great distance from the
hotel, but if the visitor so desires he
may board one of the Intramural cars
at the very door of the hotel and be
Whirled rapidly over a beautiful
scenic section of the grounds. For
one fare he can reach any point III
the grounds. If he finds it necessary
to visit the city the street cars pass
the south side of the house, and by
boarding any east-bound car he can
reach any point in the city for one
fare.
Long trips in reaching the grounds
IN the morning and returning at night
are avoided. During the day II the
visitor becomes weary he may retire
to his room and snatch a rest or take

CHERRY TREE" DID IT.
How a Celebrated Fraud Case Re-
suited in q Wedding.

Asheville n. c.. July 4.-Special.-
Postoffice Inspector Chas. E. Ente-
man and Miss Estelle Stikeleather
were married Tuesday at the home of
Hon. T. M. Stikeleather, father of the
bride, at Turnersburg, Iredell county.
They will make Asheville their home.
The bride is niece of f. Stikeleather,
of this city.
Speaking of the event the Morgan
ton News-Herald says:
The bride is very we'll known here,
as she was nurse at the State Hos
pital for several years, but left here
about year ago to enter a hospital
in georgia. There is a right pretty
romance connected with this wedding.
Miss Stikeleather was one of the many
ladies swindled by the famous Cher
ry Tree" fraud, and while attending
Federal Court in Charlotte as a wit
ness two years ago met Inspector
Enteman, and this marriage is a hap
by sequel to the chance meeting under
rather unusual circumstances.

THE HABIT or INVESTIGATING.


 Don't tie yourself or your money up. Don't risk all your savings in any scheme, no matter how much it may promise. Don't invest your hard-earn- ca money in anything without first making thorough and searching in Vestigation. Do not be misled by those Who tell you that it is "now or never" and that if you wait you are liable 10 lose the best thing that ever came to you. Make up your mind that if you lose your money you will not lose your head, and that you will not invest in anything until you thoroughly under stand all about it. There are plenty of good things waiting. If you miss one there are hundreds of others. Peo- pie will tell you that the opportunity VIII go by and you will lose a great chance to make money if you do not act promptly. But take your time and investigate. Make it cast iron rule never to invest in any enterprise until you have gone to the very bottom of it. If 1t is not so sound that level headed men will put money in 1t. do not touch it. The habit of investfgat- ing before you embark in any business will be happiness protector and an ambition protector as well.-Success.

looking toward the ship after springing on the rail, from whence moment lat CT he fell back dead, with bullet in his breast
 Poor felloww murmured Jones and then called out: "Give it to them, lads! They have lost their main topmast" A cheer was the answer. But the matter must be ended at once
 Johnson" said Jones to the young midshipman by his side, run forward and have the main yard hauled. Give her good full, quartermaster," he said to the veteran, seaman at the helm and then watched the water over the side to see when she gathered headway through 1t. Now! Hard up with the helm! Flatten in the head sheets! Round in the weather braces! Cease firing and load all!''
 The ship gathered way, forged ahead slowly, fell off when the helm was put up and in trice was standing across the stern of the Juno, which endeavor- ed to meet the maneuver as soon as 1t was seen; but owing to the loss of the jib and main topsail and the fouling of the gear, she did not answer the helm rapidly enough to escape the threaten ing danger.
 Stand by to rake her! Ready! Fire! Stand by to boardp'
 The effect of this raking broadside delivered at short range was awful. The whole stern of the Juno was beat en in, and the deadly projectiles had free range the full length of the devoted ship, which reeled and trembled under the terrible shock A moment of si- lence followed, broken by shrieks and groans and a few feeble cheers from some undaunted spirits Then, the Ranger still falling off, a rank sheer of the helm brought her beam against the stern of the Juno, when eager hands hove the grapnels which bound the two ships together.
 Away, boardersw
 Certain of the men left their quar- ters at the guns and, cutlass and pistol in hand, led by Jones' himself, swarmed over the rail and on the poop of the Juno. Two or three men were sranu- ing there among the dead and wound ed men, half dazed by the sudden ca tastrophe but they bravely sprang forward.
 "Do you surrender?" cried Jones.
 No, you rebely' answered the fore most, ~Sn the uniform of an officer, crossing swords with him gallantly, but in moment the sword of the i'm petuous American beat down his guard and was buried in his breast. With hollow groan he fell dying oA GAn &s17k of the ship he had so gallaUlI1 de Tended, while his men, borne back by the determined rush of the Rangers gallant crew, after feeble resistance threw down their arms, crying, Guar ter, quarter!''
 All this time the guns of that ship had been firing, one or two of them de pressed by Simpsons orders so as to pierce the hull below the water line.

at sea as in any other contest.
 Tho next moment the main tOpsa1l of the Juno was gallantly laid to the mast, that of the Ranger following suit, and the two ships, side by side, at half pistol shot distance, continued the dreadful combat, both crews being en- couraged and stimulated by their cap- tains and other officers. A battle lan7 tern or two, which had been hastily lighted here and there, shed dim, uncertain light over the decks of the Ranger. The men, half naked, covered with sweat and dust and powder stains or splashed with blood from some more unfortunate comrade, some with heads tied up, fighting though wounded, served the guns.
 Several brave fellows were arranged on the weather side of the deS6, dead. their battles ended. One or two seri- ously wounded men were lying groan- ing by the hatchway, waiting their turn to be carried below to the cockpit to be committed to the rough surgery of the period, while the fleet footed powder boys were running to and fro from the different guns with their charges, leap- ing over the wounded and dying with indifference The continuous roar of the artillery, for the guns were served with that steady, rapid precision for which the American seamen soon be- came famous, the cracking of musket- ry from the men in the tops. with the yells and cheers and curses and groans of the maddened men, completed scene which suggested a bit of hell.
 "This is warm work, Wallingford," said the captain coolly, though his eyes were sparkling with excitement 'Do we gain any advantage?"
 II think so. Their fire does not seem to be so heavy. Does it not siacken little, sir?"
 Aye, I think so too. trust our sticks hold"
 "I have not had any serious damage reported so far, sir"
 "Well, we must end it soon, or that frigate will be down on us-in half an hour at most should say. Ha! What was that?" he said as loud crash from the Juno interrupted him.
 tsTheir main topmast's gone by the board, hurrahv' shouted Wallingford,
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-06-28

out of the way. I will run down and see what's wrong"
 The present course of the Juno would have brought her across the bows of the Ranger, but the ships were near ing so rapidly that a collision would have resulted, so the Juno was kept away little and soon ran down on the lee bow of the Ranger. The two ships were thus placed side by side, the Ranger on the port tack having the advantage of the weather gauge of the Juno, which had the wind free, an ad- vantage the captain of the English ship would never have yielded with out an effort had he imagined the character of the ship opposite him. The battle lanterns of the Juno were lighted, the ports triced up, and she presented brilliant picture of a gal 1ant ship ready for action. The Ranger, black as the night and silent as death, could barely be discerned in dim outline from the Juno.
 "Mellish ahoyv'
 "Ahoy, the Juno!'
 Whats wrong on board of you?'
 Nothing, sirp'
 Pistol shots and screams were heard by the ship ahead! But who halls? Where is Captain Brent?'
 Answer himr' hissed Jones in the ear of the British captain. Tell him there were some drunken soldiers of the highlanders in a row! Speak out, man!' he continued threateningly.
 Why don't you answer? P came from ha 0h ovsH Call away the first cutter,'' the voice continued. But the British seaman on the Rangers deck was made of sterner stuff than the other. By vio- lent and unexpected movement he wrenched his arm free from the grasp of one of the men, struck the other heavily in the chest, and before any one could seize him he Ieaped upon the rail, shouting loudly: "Treachery! You are betrayed! This is a Yankee pfratew Then he sprang into the wa ter between the two ships. Williams raised his pistol.
 "Let him go,' cried Jones. "He is brave fellow" Then, lifting his powerful voice, he shouted: This is the American Continental ship Ranger. Stand by"' The port shutters dropped or were pulled up with crash: mo- ment's hasty aim was taken at the bril- liantly lighted ship full abeam. Fire! Let them have it, men!'' he cried in voice of thunder. Instantly the black side of the Ranger gave forth a sheet of flame, and the startling roar of the full broadside in the quiet night was followed by shrieks and cries and the crashing of woodwork, which told that the shots had taken effect. Three hearty British cheers rang out, how ever, in reply, and the broadside was promptly returned, but with nothing like the effect of that from the Ranger, for the first blow counts for as much
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-06-28

Tn moment the boat from the Ran ger Eas alongside, the bags and boxes were speedily shifted, and the cutter, with the other two boats in tow, drop ped back to the Ranger, which by shift of the helm had drawn much nearer. Then the MeIlish filled away and presently, wearing round on her heel, went off before the wind and, all her lights having been extinguished, faded speedily away in the darkness. The boats were hoisted on the Ranger; She braced up on the port tack and took the place vacated by the Mellish. But these things had not happened without attracting some attention.
 The captain of the vessel next ahead of the Mellish had heard the pistol shots and shouting. Lufing up into the wind to check his own headway, he made out a second ship in the darkness alongside his next astern. In doubt as to what was happening, but certain that something was wrong, he acted promptly and caused blue light to be burned on his forecastle. This was the agreed signal of danger, and it i'm mediately awakened the unsAspecting feet into action. Several of the ships at different intervals in the long line repeated the signal, which was finally answered by the frigate, hull down ahead. The corvet, half mile away perhaps, responded immediately and, wearing short round, came to on the other tack and headed for the last of the line, beating to quarters the while.
 All the lanterns of the Ranger were again extinguished and the men sent quietly to their quarters, with the strictest injunctions not to make a sound or fire gun until ordered under pain of death. Every other prepara- ton had long since been made for ac- ton, so the officers slipped on their boarding caps, loosened their swords in their sheaths and looked to the priming of their pistols; then, receiving their final commands, departed quietly to their several stations Simpson, now occupying the position of first lieuten- ant vacated by Seymour, having charge of the batteries, and Wallingford, on deck with the captain in command of the sail trimmers. who were clustered
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-06-28

about the masts, the sioop being sull heavily manned.
 Man the starboard battery" said the captain in 8 low but distinct voice. ''Men, we've got our work cut out for us tonight No cheering until the first shot is fired, and no firing till give the order, and then, all together, give it to them. Do you understandY
 A chorus of subdued aAye, ayes,, in- dicated that the orders were heard
 Mir. Wallingford, do you stand ready to back the main topsail when she is alongside, though if she attempts to pass in front of us we'll up helm and take her on the port side. Two of you afterguards go below and bring up the captain of the Mellish. Lively! We shall soon have the sloop down on us."
 Tn few moments the unfortunate British skipper was standing on the poop deck beside Captain Jones.
 ''Now, my man, you are the master of the NIellish, are you not?'
 T was few moments ago., replied the man sullenly.
 Well, you are to stand right here and answer halls just as tell you. Do you understand?"
 Yes
 Williams, you and another hold him, and if he hesitates to answer, or an swers other than I tell him, blow his brains out Now we have nothing to do but wait. Keep her a good full at the helm there.'
 Aye, aye, sir!'' replied the veteran quartermaster stationed at the con. Meanwhile the Juno had come abeam 1 of the vessel next ahead of the Ranger, and the conversation which followed was as plainly audible in the latter ship as had been the beating to quar- ters just after she wore. Providence ahoy thereY' came from the Juno. What is the matter2 What are you burning blue lights for?' Nothing is the matter with us, sir, but we heard pistol shots and cries on the Mellish astern and thought we saw two ships instead of one. It's so beastly black tonight we couldn't make out anything very we'll" "All right; better keep of a little,
