LONG AND SHORT OF NAMES.
One Oriental Name Has One Letter
+ and Another Thirty three.

The longest and shortest names ever
borne by human beings are owned by
two fugitive residents of the Hawaiian
islands. One is a man living in Homo
lulu and the other is a young native
woman living on the island of Maui.
The name of the man is IT," simply
and nothing more. 1t is pronounced
Sc"
The name of the young woman reads
like a merger of all the alphabets
known to man. 1t is Miss Lucy Annie
K. MISUNDERSTANDING Observation-Disclosures
ka. Thirty-th three letters are required to
build this name. None but an oral
Hercules would attempt to pronounce
this: genealogical monstrosity.
The possibilities that the transla-
ton of such frame suggests are ave-
inspiring. 1t is said that the literal
translation is that by using which one
may reach heaven" This translation
probably means that it would take the
average individual lifetime in which
to pronounce the name. Meanwhile the
friends of the young woman call her
Annie and let the surname repose
peacefully in the family records.

Hot Doorknob Saves EIGHT Lives.

VIoS 0VOVN0OO 0dVeS eight IiVeSs
NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-But for a
hot doorknob, a conscientious per-
Torrance of his duty and the quick
wit of policeman, eight human lives
would probably have been lost early
today in a fire at No. $40 West Broad
way. ...
1t was the hot knob which told the
officer that there was fire inside the
building. He was industriously trying
doorknobs on his West Broadway beat
to see if thieves were about. when his
hand was burned. When giving a call
for assistance he smashed the door. A
big blaze was in progress on the
ground floor and the heat was intense
Covering themselves in bedspreads
and blankets, the occupants of the
house were hustled downstairs to safe

M,,meee OF ACTRESSES AND
CHORUS GIRLS ACCOMPANY
RUSSIAN OFFICERS.
Much Trouble Was Experienced at
Woo in Keeping Them Out
Of Sight.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov is-A
rather remarkable explanation of the
unexpected leaving of the Baltic fleet
from Vigo is made here. 1t is probably
untrue. but the fact that the main
facts on which it is based are true
causes it to be accepted by great
many.
During the time Of the preparations
of the Baltic fleet a great many ac-
tresses and chorus girls from Moscow
and st. Petersburg theaters were con-
stantIy with the officers of the fleet.
When the fleet finally sailed 1t was
found that a goodly number of these
women were missing. 1t has been
learned since that they are aboard the
fleet, and it is said that the difficulty
of keeping them out of sight between
decks at Vigo made it necessary to get
away where they could be transferred
to one of the supply ships or GOLFERS.
1t is said that they might be more east
ly put ashore from a supply ship
without being seen.
Women On All Ships.
1t is hard for the people of any
other nation to believe that women
would be allowed on a warship in the
time of war, but it is only too true that
they are aboard almost every vessel
in the Russian navy.
While the accusation is not openly
made that Admiral Rojestvensky was
drunk when he fired upon the fishing
boats in the North sea, as letters come
back from those aboard the fleet it be-
comes more and more certain that If
he was not drunk he was about the
only man on board who could plead to
being sober.

SAYS CLARKE PLOTTED FRAUD.
Suit at Duluth to Recover a Half
MILAN.

DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. ia suit
has been begun in the district court
here by Theodore Bruener, trustee in
bankruptcy, against n. P. Clarke of ST
Cloud, and the heirs of the late Mrs
Clara c. Mcclure, also of that city, to
recover property valued at about $780,
900. ~
1t is alleged in the complaint that
Mr. Clarke conveyed to Mrs. Mcclure
his property for the purpose of de-
frauding his creditors. The Mcclure
estate had a claim for $4,000 against
Clarke, and it alleged that Mr.. Clarke
made this conveyance for the ostensi-
BILE purpose of satisfying it, but that
in reality the property was subject to
his order. This transfer was made in
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-11-18

1894. The property Is largely in ST
Louis and Carlton counties.
In May, 1895, Clarke made an as
signment for the benefit of his credi-
tors. Rruener petitions the court to
have the agreement entered into be-
tween Clarke and Mrs. Mcclure de-
clared fraudulent and that her estate
and the heirs be held accountable for
his creditors.
Property that was conveyed by Mr..
Clarke has been sold, it is alleged, by
the McClures, to the value of $246,-
900, and the court is asked to make
the heirs produce it.

Fire at Tullahoma,

The livery stable of A. j.
Glasgow was destroyed by fire at
- O'Clock Friday night, together
with thirteen head of horses and
u COW and several hundred bush
els of corn. The origin of the
fire is a mystery, as the stable
was located near Mr.. Glasglow's
house and a man was sleeping in
the building who had a narrow
escape from the flames.
B. F. Cranes barn, located
near the stable was also destroy
ed. Mr.. Mcclure, a Nashville
travelling salesman, lost fine
buggy horse in the fire, and J. G.
Cornelius, Il" B. Blackman and
Earl Martin also had each a
horse burned to death.
There was no insurance on any
of the live stock or provender,
and only $4,000 on the building.
Total loss about $4,000.

was thought that he would be
safe. AT about s O'Clock a pris-
oner named Perry heard racket
it the cell occupied by Bridges.
He thought nothing of it. When
Turnkey Chockley made the
round of the cells a moment later,
he found that Bridges had hung
himself. Each of the hunks in
the cell is fastened to the wall by
a chain, which is merely hooked
to the partition between the cells,
Bridges had unlocked this chain
and fastened it about his neck.
He had then drawn up his legs
and jumped from the bunk.
His neck was broken.
Bridges was the son of John
Bridges, Il prominent farmer
near Lebanon.

Women and the Baltimore Fire.

A generous and graceful tribute
to the calmness of women in
danger is that paid by Mr.. Lynn
Roby Meekins, editor of the
Baltimore Herald, in his article
in the June Delineator. He tells
not only of women who worked
in the thick of the destruction
with and for their employers,
husbands and fathers, and of the
brave and cheerful way in which,
when all was lost, they set to
work at humble occupations to
support themselves, but of their
ability to rise quite above the
consideration of material things
in recognition of essentials Gone
young husband,' he says, "made
his way home and, pale and
trembling, approached his wife.
Il am ruined, he exclaimed. My
dear she replied smiling through

of the situation. 1t was mainly
personal"

Avenged Death of Father.

A terrible tragedy was enacted
near the Warren and Cannon
County line Tuesday.
Several weeks ago Elex Earls
was shot and instantly killed by
Harris Newly, and the latter
was under a $4,000 bond to in
sure his attendance at the next
term of court. Earls had a
young son living in Texas, and
the boy returned to Tennessee as
soon as he learned of the death
of his father and it is thought
that he has been watching for an
opportunity to avenge the death
of his father. The chance pre-
scented itself Tuesday, and Earls
secreted himself in a fence cor
ner in cornheld which was be-
ing turned up by Harris Newly
and his brother.
Newly had almost reached the
end of his row when Earls sud
denly and Unexpectedly rose up
and fired a charge of buckshot
from a double barrel gun into
the face and chest of Newly,
who dropped dead in his tracks
Newby's brother saw the move
ment of Earls and called, to hi
brother to dodge, but the warn
ing came too late. Earls thel
turned his gun in the direction o.
the other Newly and threatened
to kill him, but the latter man
aged to keep out of range. Earl
then emptied the other barre
of his gun into the back of hi
victim.

Dead Child in Box,

Some excitement was caused
in Hazel, thriving village on
the state line in Henry County,
a few nights ago, when at late
hour one of the citizens was call
ed to his door by a stranger and
u box committed to his care with
out a word else. The stranger
then drove rapidly away and the
citizen examined the bundle,
which proved to be a child's body
in handsome casket, finely clad,
and small amount of money in
an envelope, which it is thought
was intended for the expense of
burial.

Sensational Law Suit IN Knox.

A sensational case is being
tried before County Judge Col
lier. 1t grows out of an effort of
a body of Christian women known
as the Woman's Christian Asso-
citation to have the adopted
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. K.
Sutherland sent to the Knox
County Reformatory. The girl,
who is II years old, is the one
who was found nearly year ago
in a negro orphanage at Chatta-
nooga, over which discovery
such stir was raised. 1t was
charged then that the girl had
been kidnapped while on her way
to school in this city and had been
spirited to Chattanooga by agents
of the Woman's Christian Asso-
citation and placed in charge of
the matron of the negro orphan
age. By legal process the girl
was secured by her foster parents
and returned to Knoxville
