Mississippi.

A dispatch from Alton. H.. last night
says. While bathing in the Mississippi river
tonight Michael Riley, his daughter, and
six of the latter's little girl friends were
drowned One child who was in the party
was rescued
Riley lived near the river in the southern
part of the city. and was accustomed to
battle on the beach in front of his home
after his return from work. Tonight his
little daughter begged to go with him. and
Riley took her and seven of her girl friends
to the beach with him. When they entered
the water Riley babe the children join
hands, and they all waded into the river
and walked along a sandbar which stretches
out into the stream at that point
They had gone some distance from the
shore when suddenly the whole party dis
appeared beneath the water, having in the
darkness stepped from the sandbar into the
deep channel The children struggled and
screamed, fighting desperately to reach the
sandbar where the water was only foot
or so in depth. Riley, who is said to have
been a good swimmer. IS thought to have
been made helpless by the girls clinging to
him and hampering his efforts to save them
The only one In the party to regain the
sandbar was Mary Timiny, eight years old
The child is unable to tell how she saved
herself
Riley was thirty-two years old. and the
ages OF the children drowned ranged from
eight to fourteen years. Four of the bod
les have been recovered.

Oldest Apothecary Shop in the World

the Norman conquest. Other buildings in
the town were erected short time after
the Scots had burnt down the town and the
church in the year 1919. The earlier struc-
lures would date back to Saxon and Roma n
times, coins of those periods being found
when unearthing the old foundations.
The quaint building is remarkable for
the curious character. Of it's architecture
and for its old fashioned square-paned win
dows. which project over the pavement, be-
ing supported by oak pillars beneath. The
framework of the house Is of massive oak.
The ceiling has oak beams ~ and IA inches
by 3 to 4 inches exposed. These are kept
well vanished, and are as sound today, as
when they were erected centuries ago.
Some of the beams bear evidence of having
been used in former structures by having
holes and sockets not necessary in their
present positions.
The old building possesses numerous pro-
fessional relics in the shape Of old herbals
bottles. mortars and phials. which have
been handed down from one proprietor to
another as sacred heirlooms. These have
been exhibited at the Royal College of
Physicians the Thames emba nkment.
One of the most interesting Of these rel
les. now on exhibit in the old pharmacy,
and which is a present In almost daily use,
is marble mortar. The pestle. up to some
sixty years ago, was worked by turnspit
dogs in a manner much as squirrel turns
its cage.

Steamboats, Garry Capacity Reduced

A dispatch from New York last night
says: A reinspection of the steamboat
Grand Republic, a sister boat to the
sunken General Slocum, owned by the
Knickerbocker Steamboat Company, was
made today by United States inspectors,
and after thorough examination, lasting
nearly all day, the steamer was passed,
although owing to the small number of
good life-preservers on board her carrying
capacity was reduced from 1000 to 30 no
additional iife-preservers to replace those
condemned being available. The reinspec-
ton was forced by the federal officers after
conference with the Grand Republics
lessees yesterday.
The boilers stood all tests and the null
was reported to be In first-class condition
The inspectors then began an examination
of the 3.T00 life-preservers, one by one
There are three varieties Of preservers on
board sthe Grand Republic-the cork life
belts. made of solid slabs of cork: the
round preserver. of granulated cork sewed
in canvas. and the life belt of shredded
fiber.
As the examination proceeded the latter
made the poorest showing. The fiber filing
was almost Immediately watcr-logged, and
the weight of the belt was thereby In
creased from two and one-half pounds 10
six. Although the legal Rotation weight
for government tests Is twenty-four pounds
seores nj the preservers sank when at
taciaed TO fourteen-pound burdens.

PLANS FOR ENTERTAINMENT.
European Visitors Tour of Industrial
Centers Convene in St. Louis.

A dispatch from Chicago last night says:
Secretary OF the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw
spent great part of the day at the Audi
torium in conference with the committee
appointed by Congress to entertain the
members of the Interparliamentary Union
for the promotion of international arbitra-
ton. which will meet in Washington next
month. At the last meeting of the union in
Vienna. an invitation from Congress to
meet in the United States was accepted.
Congress appropriated $4,000 for the en-
tertainment of the union. and Secretary
Shaw recommends that the money be spent
on trip to important industrial centers.
The union is composed of about 300 men,
berS of the parliamentS and interna tional
bodies of European centers The members
of the union are expected to arrive in New
York September and Z. The plan, as
proposed by Secretary Shaw whose object
is to give the visitors an indication of what
the United States is doing along industrial
lines, is substantially as follows:
Taken to Pittsburg to view the iron and
steel plants: from there to st. Louis, to. re-
main five or six days at the worlds fair;
from ST. Louis to Omaha. possibly stop
ping en- route at either st. Joseph or Kansas
City to inspect the live stock industry:
from Omaha to Chicago to visit the pack
ing industries and other commercial enter
prises of the city.
If the appropriation is sufficient, it IS
planned to take them to Minnesota TO in
spect the flour industry. Otherwise they
will go from Chicago to Ashtabuia, Ohio.
to examine the facilities for handling coal
and iron. From there they will be taken
to Buffalo and Niagara Falls to see the
ways in which the falls have been put TO
use in generating electrical power.
Secretary Shaw's suggestion was adopted
by the committee. 1t was also decided that
each member of the entertainment COM
mittee should take charge of the guests as
they passed through the state in which
such member resides.
The convention will be held in ST Louis
instead of Washington. was at first
planned. After the tour the visitors will
go to Washington, where they will be
greeted by Preside mt Roosevelt.

A Shooting Case in Camden.

Harold B. Heal, aged 90, was shot through
the skull by his landlord, }. Everett Board
man, while talking with him at the corner
of Cross and Washington streets, Camden,
at l.3O p. m, Sept. 2Sth. The shooting was
seen or heard by many. people. They said
the revolver, which was of small calibre,
and fired at Heals head. Heal fell uncon-
scious. After working on Heal three quar-
ters of an hour two physicians stated he
had partially regained consciousness and
probably. would recover. The bullet was
the left ear. A depressed fracture of the
skull had been sustained. Boardman was
arrested. One cause assigned for the mur-
derous act was that the two men had dis
pute about the rent 1t was known that
Boardman had had trouble with other ten
ants. He owns several small tenements
from which he obtains small revenue,
which with his income as a "yack at all
trades furnishes his support. Heal with
a brother and widowed mother lived in one
of these tenements. Boardman is described
as having peculiar character. He had
who is about As years old, claims he acted
in self defence and that if he had not acted
as he did he would have been killed. He
said he was sorry he did not do better
witnesses say no loud talk was heard, that
Heal made no movement whatever until he
fell. Boardman ran after firing the single
shot, but was taken into custody without
much difficulty. Boardman pleaded not
guilty to the charge of assault with intent
to kill upon Harold b. Heal when arraigned
Friday. Probable cause was found and he
was held in 81, 600 for his appearance at the
January term of the supreme court. Five
witnesses for the government were examin-
ed. Heal was reported comfortable and it is
expected will be able to leave the hospital
soon.

The forenoon was devoted to social greet
ing and discussing the potato. grain and ap-
pie crops. At 2 p m. the Grange was called
to order and after the opening exercises a
nice program was presented by the Worthy
Lecturer, consisting of instrumental music,
songs, Rotations, readings, etc. Interest
ing remarks were made by sister NJ. A. p.
