Wilkins, the magnetic healer, who is
well known throughout the city and
portions Of this state, must pay his wife,
Leila d. Wilkins, $50 for court ex.

FIRST AMERICA"
MAP RECOVERED
Long Missing Product of
Sixteenth Century.
GAVE NAME TO NEW WORLD
Located in the Library of a Prince
Vague Idea of Western
Hemisphere.

After nearly four centuries Of mystery
the first map on which the name of
America was used to designate the
Western Hemisphere has been found.
It was made by Martin Waldseemuller,
a geographer and photographer, of the
little city of st. Diel, situated in the
French department of the vosges.
Ever since 1907 the world has known
of a little Latin book, printed in ST.
Diel and made famous because it first
advocated that the new hemisphere
should be called America, after Ameri-
co Vespucci.

covered Il, since the names Europe
and Asia were derived from the names
OF women
From references IN the book it was
evident that 1t was accompanied by
some sort of map. yet the rap was
missing. Copies were found of a map
which geographers believed belonged to
the book. but still no one knew what
had become of the original. IL was fin
ally proved that Waldseemuller wrote
the book. and certain maps were found
bearing his name, but not the coveted
map for which the world had been seek
ing so long.
Search Abandoned.
The search had been abandoned and
the subject almost forgotten when a
German professor stumbled upon the
missing map in the princely library Of
the castle OF Wolfegg. Here IT had lain
hidden amid tones Of rich morocco and
parchment

hETEORIC RISE
OF EDDIE HANLON
Opponent of Kid Sullivan Eas Disposed
of the Best Bantams and Feathers
in the Country.

The rise Of Eddie" Hanion, the Cal
ifornia boy who will meet Kid Sulli-
van. next Friday night before the Eu-
reka Athletic and Social Club. of Balti-
mere. has been a meteoric one. Many
think that Hanlon is practically the
best 130-pound boxer in the country.
The little Frisco boy has only been
before the public as a pugilist for three
years. ana success has crowned his eff
forts continually When Hanlon had his
first amateur engagement. with Abe
Attell. then the best boy in his class.
- barely weighed 100 pounds. but he
gave his opponent one OF the hardest
fights. His next encounter of any note
was Christmas Day. 1900, when he met
frankie Neil now the recognized ban
tamweight champion Of the country
Hanlon was awarded the decision at
the end of five rounds.
His first dig fight as pro" was with
kid" McFadden. II was a cinch for
the Frisco youngster. Morris Rausch
and Maxey Hugh came next and Abe
Attell followed. frankie Nell and a few
others were next disposed OF.
The next and most important fight of
his career was with Young Corbett"
for the featherweight championship.
and was decided a draw Benny
YanRer was next. and I'm his fight with
Hanlon. Yanger had the first defeat OF
his career. a return match with Yang

OVER A MILE A MINUTE.

Some comparisons have been made be-
tween the run Of the Royal Special train
on the Great Western Railway OF Eng
land and that of the Twentieth. Century
Limited on the Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southern on May 25. A British cor
respondent has taken some pains to get
the exact figure for the English train
from those who were on it and from
official sources.
The train was a royal special taking
the Prince and Princess of Wales from
London to Plymouth. The run of 246
miles was made with no stops except
in passing Bath, Bristol and Exeter.
There were serious upgrades between
Taunton and TivertOn, between TotneS
and Wranghton for 10 miles on end, be-
tween Newton, Abbott and Totnes. be-
sides other less grades. The 1iiie beyOnd

NEGROES HORSE
MADE KILLING
Southampton Took Book
les Coin in Chunks.
STABLE COOK TURNED TRICK
Regular Darktown Derby and Every
Negro at Track Was On-Cashed
With a Whoop.

NEW YORK, April 27.-For a week
past Bob Johnston, a colored cook who
runs a boarding house kitchen for
stable hands, exercise boys and others
at the Jamaica track, has been a man
of mystery. Except to answer the usual
questions as 10 what made up the bill
&C fare or to pass the time of day. he
has kept his mouth closed as tight as
drum.
This air of secrecy naturally excited
curiosity among the track inhabitants
who knew that Johnston had something
to do with the maiden three-year-old
colt Southampton, by Bathampton-Flirt,
who was sold by Perry Belmont last
year. The colt was in the hands Of
Trainer Howard Williams, formerly in
the employ Of Julius Fleischmann, Billy
Barrick and Jacob Worth, and it was
rumored a few days ago that the first
time he started he would win at long
price.
Owner Gave Tip.
Johnston unsealed his lips yesterday
morning to a favored few He told
them that the day had arrived when
the bookmekers would be relieved OF
their coin In chunks. and urged them to
get aboard The favored few lost no
time in telling their own friends. so
that it may be said that every colored
man at the track had the tip, which
was later impaired to others.
Southampton opened at go to I. In
jiffy a battalion of colored men swarm
ed through the big betting ring, betting
81. S. s., and SO on the colt, while many
white men spread larger wagers across
the board The layers had been hand

Surprise Was Terrible.

for rounding the turn Southampton
moved his field down like chaff before
the wind and McCue brought the colt
home a winner in a sensational drive.
With war whoops and yells the col
ored contingent rushed bacir to the ring

of the hour, declared that at the board

Must Keep Tab.

Patsy Donovan says there must be
some way to keep tab on players. and
cannot imagine what can be substituted
for the error column. Captain PaGden,

many fielders would have more conf
