HER LIFE is LONELY.
STORY OF A GIRL WHO DwELLs
FAR FROM MADDING CROWD.
Lighthouse on Marshy Island Is the
Home to Which She Is Attached
Devotedly = saluted by
All the Big Ships.

Every man aboard every craft that
enters the port of Savannah, Ca,
knows "The Lighthouse Girl.
The New York World says that a
few have heard of her as Miss Martus
but the majority know her only by
her sobriquet.
Yet they all have speaking ac-
quaintance with her, even though It
is but to "speak" in the nautical sense,
with 200 or 300 yards of the turbid
waters of the Savannah river interyen-
ing.
No scow. sloop, schooner, tug, tramp
or ocean liner can pass the home OF
THE Lighthouse Grip without receiv-
ing salute. Nor has one been known
to pass for years without returning the
salute of Miss Martus To dip flag
or send the throaty roar of the siren
floating over the marshes In return for
the waving flag or handkerchief of
The Lighthouse Girl" is as much
rule in the local code of river courtesy
as is the yielding of the port berth in
passing craft. When a vessel ap-
proaches the lighthouse station upon
the porch appears a girlish figure If
1t be day, she either dips flag or
waves her handkerchief. If it be
night, she signals her welcome with
lantern.
For passengers aboard the ocean
liners or for those aboard river craft
the lighthouse station is a point of
interest, and to them officers of the
vessels tell the story Of 'The Light

for the vessels, of the delight 1t gives

Insects Sense of Location.

Naturalists have decided that many in
sects have senses which human beings
lack. That of location, shown by the
wasp, for instance, is remarkable. One
species builds its nest in sandbank
that is only a part of several acres of
such soil. and when il leaves in search of
food it covers the nest so carefully that
no ordinary eye could discover its To-
cation That is to say, it is just like all
the surrounding location and yet the
wasp flies back to it without hesita-
ton and finds it without making mis-
take. There is another wasp that I'M
erringly locates the eggs of the ma
son bee under thick layer Of sun baked
clay, and deposits her own eggs in the
same cells that her young may have
food when they are Matched.

The PALMA TROPHY
Recently Taken from England by
American Rifemen.
An International Shooting Ssrize That
Has Been Won by This Country,
Canada and EngIand--Pre-
scented by America.

The Palma trophy, donated by the
Tifiemen Of the United States to the
riflemen of the world, comes back to
the United States by the prowess of
our soldier sharpshooters. The crack
shots of our army and national guard
recently met the cracks of England
South Africa, Canada and Australia at
the rifle range Of the English army at
Bisley, and have returned to this coun-
try the victors in one OF the hardest
fought contests Of skill at rifle shoot
ing ever witnessed.
While the Palma trophy has figured
in several of these international rifle
contests but little is known of it by
the public, the contest being consid-
cred an army affair in which the civ
ilian is but little interested
The National Rife Association of
America was organized in 1873 by
members of the army and the national
guard. The following year challenge
was issued TO teams from the military
service OF other countries, and ths
challenge was accepted by team from
Ireland. Both teams did some won
derful shooting, and 1t was not until
the last shot was fired that the win
ner was known That last shot was
bulls eye. and had it been a miss Ire
land would have won, as 1t was the
final score stood 934 points for Amer
ica, and 931 for Ireland.
In 1876 the rifiemen of the army and
national guard In this country con-
ceived the idea Of an international
shooting competition as feature Of
the centennial celebration of that year.
TO encourage teams from other coun-
tries to come to America and partici-
pate in this memorable competition the
Palma trophy was purchased. The
American team won it and the trophy
stayed in America. The challenge 10

her to salute them, and of her pleas
ure in their answering salute
Midway between Savannah and the
sea, rising squatly from the marshes of
Elba island, is the cottage home of the
keeper of the range lights that mark
the channel of the river. No other
habitation is on the island, and for
miles there is not, in any direction,
save for those who pass in boats on
the river, any other living being than
the three occupants of the cottage. 1t
is a lonesome existence that those
three-mother, son and daughter
live.
The son is the keeper of the range
lights. The mother has her house
hold duties to keep her busy. The
daughter, Miss Florence Martus, finds
but the one pleasurable pastime in
her lonely life
Miss Martus has lived all her life
on or near Elba island. Her father
was ordnance sergeant at Fort Pulas-
XII, which is within sight of her pres
ent home. At the fort she lived until
her fathers death, which occurred
when she was little girl. Then her
brother obtained the post of light
house keeper, and the mother, broth
er and girl went to live on Elba is
land.
A remarkable occurrence in the life
of Miss Martus is vouched for by her
family and many other reputable per-
sons. One cold night in the early
eighties, when she was but a few
years old, she was one of a party that
started from the city for her home on
Elba island. Precautions against the
cold were inadequate, especially for the
tender child She was almost frozen
upon the arrival of the party at the
cottage, and diphtheria followed the
exposure. The attack deprived her of
her speech and her hearing. For three
or four years she was without these
powers, and it was as by a seeming
miracle that they were restored to her.
In 1886 came the terrible earthquake
that wrought such havoc at Charles
ton and which was felt in considerable
violence at Savannah. People here
were terrified, and so was the small,
lonely family at the lighthouse sta
ton Mrs Martus and her son and
daughter feared while the earth be-
meath them was swaying and rocking
that their last hour had come, but
what seemed calamity was really a
blessing to them. The girl, moved by
the shock of terror, instantly recov-
cred both her speech and her hearing,
and from that day to this she has re-
tanned them.
Never a Christmas passes that Miss
Martus does not receive some testi-
monial of the esteem of the harbor.
The great steamship companies whose
vessels use the port of Savannah al
ways send her Christmas boxes, as do
the pilots association and the tow
boat companies. Several years ago a
large steamship company presented her
with a handsome watch. She has
many such testimonials.

the world remained upon TO all Corners,
but it was not until 1901 that the
trophy left the hands of the first
winners and passed beyond our
borders.
In that year the glove thrown down
by the American rifemen was covered
by the Canadians, whose champions
proceeded to Sea Grit, n j., on
September 5, and won an exciting
match by 90 points, the winning team
scoring 1,522, and the trophy defenders
l,493.
AS one OF the conditions under
which the trophy is competed for rem
ders it obligatory for the following
years competition to be shot in the
country of the holders, in 1902 the
challengers. a British team, under Maj.
the Hon. It. f. Freemantle, and an
American team, under Brig. Gen. Bird
Spencer. proceeded to Ottawa, and on
September 13 brought off finely con-
tested competition under not altogether
ideal meteorological conditions.
On that occasion the British team
won. and the trophy was carried to
England. But the English Tommy was
permitted TO view the result of his
prowessfo for but one year, for the Amer
lean team, captajned by Col. Leslie C..
Bruce, of the old guard of Boston,
crossed the water this year and have
brought the trophy to America again.
With respect 20 the trophy itself,
which is fashioned after the style of
the battle flags of the Roman Legions,"
at the suggestion Of Gen. Martin Mc%
Mahon, chairman Of the trophy COM
mittee in 1876, it is perhaps more re-
markable than beautiful. Standing
seven feet six inches in height, this
unique banner is composed of gold
silver, copper, steel and iron. The

 ern Situation. 
CABLES WERE SOME BETTER

New York, November 26.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of .6al1 points on better cables than ex- .pected and continued covering. After the first few minutes prices had sagged off under offerings by room bears who, hav- ing covered yesterday. were disposed to put out fresh lines on the initial bulge. Private advices from the south reported an active demand for spot cotton at the decline of yesterday, but also claimed that spots were being freely offered, so that the disposition was to go slowly pending some more settled look in the southern situation.
 The average estimate by 162 members of the New York cotton exchange points to a crop of 11,5O2.OOO bales. The highest estimate was F, 100000 bales. the lowest 10. .SoO,OOO
 Receipts of cotton at the ports to- day 7O7O5 bales, against 46,2G4 last week and 74,7S4 last year. For the week S7O GOO bales, against S69s10 last week and S7s, $50 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 14S95, against 17,22l last year, and at Houston 12s51, against 16,553 last year.

 Bears have had the first successful campaign for the last. three .-or four years. Those who believe cotton Is worth more than 1t is selling for may be wrong for the time being and again the be- levers in lower prices may prove far out of line.
 Too much stress Is being placed on the census reports. No one knows but what % per cent of the crop was ginned on November Il. Go back to the government report of October and find how much of the crop had been gathered at that date about three-fourths of the eroS gathered Then how much must have been ginned by November IA. Why? The last report of October stated that nearly all had been picked except in parts Of Mississippi. and Louisiana Then fl the percentage ginned on November 14, two weeks later. is not pretty well up to lhe total. 1t Is peculiar. Wait for the government report It may surprise the trade.
