Two new subspecies of giraffe have
been discovered by Major Powell Cot
ton, and n Of them is represented by
a magnificent pair Of horns. now set up
in the Natural History museum at
South Kensington, London. Major
Powell Cotton s%arcastically remarked
at a meeting of the Geological society

ire forbidden to collect giraffe speci-
mems for scientific purposes, the ma
lives Of east Africa are allowed to
shoot them for boot leather, says the

NEW YORK is SAFE.
PIatt-odelIl Agreement Makes Bright
Outlook for Roosevelt.

Chicago, March pa Washing ton
special to the Tribune says:
President Roosevelt's chances OF
carrying New York state are vastly
improved by the successful conference
between the friends of Odell and
Plat in New York on Sunday.
the two leaders on the eve of a ma
tional election excited a great deal OF
apprehension on the part of the presi.
dents friends. Six months. ago, they
had reconciled themselves to the
prospects of losing New York. Wall
street animosity, it was believed,
would cost the republicans the state,
OF late, however, the anti-Roove'
welt feeling among the big financial
men has materially weakened. The
merger decision seemed to show he
was acting we'll within his legal rights
in beginning the litigation, and there
had come to be an understanding that
the president was at no time disposed
to engage in an indiscriminate or alb.
surd attack on any and all combina-
tons of capital.
Since the holidays, the idea has
been constantly growing that there
was more than an even chance OF
carrying New York for Roosevelt, pro
vided harmonious efforts were made
to conduct the campaign in practica,
principles.
The fight between Dave Hill ant
Murphy encouraged republicans still
more, and Roosevelt stock in New

decided upward tendency until tn

IF BILL WAS THERE.

II Bill was there
There where the Jap and Russ
Are raisin' such a fuss
The cables would be sizzin' hot
A-tellin' Of the fights they fought,
For Bill he's got the whole thing plan-
ned, X
How each one ought to make a stand,
And just how either could begin
And, with no trick at all, could win.
There would be trouble in the air
If Bill was there.
II Blu was there,
He'd take his submarines
And rapid fire machines
And tow 'em slowly, after dark,
Right up to where he's put a mark
Near that there town-it's NAME, b'gee,
Runs out some fifteen miles to sea-
And then you bel there'd somethin'
drop. Z
He'd fight below 'em and on top,
And some one sure would get a scare
If Bill was there.
II Bill was there
He's stuck a dozen pins
To mark the outs and ms
OF how he'd march a million men
Across the land and back again
And put the foeman in the ditch.
Whose men? What side? He don't care
which!
He says sometimes he fairly aches
To see how both sides make mistakes.
There would be fightin' everywhere
If Bill was there.
II Bill was there '
But he's at Miller's store
Him and a dozen more
OF our towns keenest strategists, 4
With stubby pencils in their fists,
Concoctin' battles n campaigns
That take in all the seas and plains.

Is lookin' for a likely chap
To run the var with tact and skill.
They'll send for Bill.

Rice the spani.h way.

Rice should be substituted. for pota-
toes oftener than it generally Is on
northern tables. There are many ways
Of cooking it besides the plain boiling.
Spanish rice is almost a meal in itself
and will be relished by all who love
piquant dishes. Wash the rice through
several waters, dry and brown it in
hot drippings, in which a chopped on
lon and a Glove of garlic are frying.
Season with salt and pepper and add a
few tabAespoonfuls of canned tomatoes.
Cover the whole with hot water and
cook without touching it until the rice
is soft. Add hot water as it boils
away.

Bright's Disease and
Diabetes News.

Law Offices of Henley & Costello,
San francisco, March 18, 1904.
| To the legal profession of Billings:
1 was a witness to the following:
About two years ago Prof. Yost OF
Palo Alto, who was in an extreme con-
dition due to advanced Bright's Dis
ease, came to my Office. He was at
tended by his physician, who was him
self a victim of Diabetes. The object
of the visit was to meet a prominent
business man who had for months
been investigating an alleged cure for
Bright's Disease and Diabetes, and
hear his verdict. He declared that
the cure had been discovered. Both
Prof. Yost and his physician at once
adopted the treatment. Within six
months both were SO well along to-
wards recovery that they considered
themselves beyond danger and at this
date neither Bright's Disease nor
Diabetes hold any terrors for them,
and the physician is successfully using
the treatment in his practice.
Learning that my old law partner,
Judge r. r. Bigelow, for many years
| Chief Justice of the State of Nevada,
had Bright's Disease and that though
he had had four or five of our best
physicians, yet that he had had to give
up practice and was in a serious con-
dition, / lost no time in telling him Of
the above. IL resulted in his complete
recovery and he is again back to
active practice. AS to the durability
OF chronic Bright's Disease and Dia-
betes l have no more doubt about it
than that l am living.
Sincerely yours,
BARCLAY HENLEY.
The above refers to the newly dis
| covered Fulton Compounds, the first
cures the world has ever seen for
Bright's Disease and Diabetes. We are

LINE TO HAYNEVlLLE
INDEPENDENT RAILROAD FROM
 MONTGOMERY PROJECTED.
Promoters Propose to Build A Miles by Way of MorEansvilie--Louis- viiIe and Nashville VIII
 Not Help.

| A direct railroad line from Mont l gomery to Hayneville, entering Mont gomery by it's own tracks Is a pros pect of the future.
 Something over two years ago rail road was projected from Morgansville. a station on the Mobile and Montgom- cry division of the Louisville and Nashville to Hayneville. the County seat of Lowndes County.
 The original plan was that when the road was graded and the rau was laid the Louisville and Nashville would sur~ face 1t and operate 1t, the distance be- ing eight and a half miles. w. s. Pruitt of Montgomery secured the con- tract for the grading, and some time ago he completed that part of the work He claims that there is still S1.s0o due him and that he has been unable to collect it.
 It develops that the Louisville and Nashville will not complete the road and has refused to operate 1t or have anything to do with the operation.
 The promoters of the road have an- nounced their intention of building the road and equipping it in its en- tirety. Their plans, however, do not stop with building the road from Hayneville to Morgansville. They pro- pose to construct the line from Nor
 
 miles. This would make the road twenty four and a half miles in length. from Montgomery to Hayneville, the plans being for the road to parallel the Mobile and Montgomery division from Morgansville to Montgomery. TO get into Montgomery they propose to con meet with the tracks of the Montgom- cry Street Railway in West End and to enter the city over that right of way.
 In discussing the proposed railroad line yesterday local railroad man ex- pressed the belief that the road would not be built; that 1t would never get beyond the embryo stage of grading. As reason for his opinion he gave some figures to show the great amount of money required to build a railroad. exclusive of equipment and rolling stock. For one mile of road it takes ITS rails for each side of the track or 342 rails to the mile. This means 11O tons of rail to the mile. Rail costs on an average of $50 a ton. making $3, 300 a mile for the rail alone. or $2S,- 050 for the eight miles and a halt. For the sixteen miles from Morgans- vile to Montgomery the cost for rails would be s44S, 800. This does not take Into consideration the hundreds of in- cidentals, spikes and other necessary material the cost of labor, and right of way which, he said, would run the | cost of construction above $50O,O0O.
 Now" said this railroad man, q don't begin to believe that this road ! will be started beyond what has al- ready been done"
 Developments in this matter will be watched with interest.
