He SWALLOWED THE BILLS
BIJT THE MONEY EATER DIDN'T
COUGH THEM UP.
Youth Discovers the Truth and Then
Seeks Out Sleuth. "A Neat
Case of FIim-Flam.

S. C. Waters, of Duluth, Ga, de-
sires to renew the acquaintance of a
smooth young man he met on the
train yesterday coming to Atlanta,
saws a special to the Macon Telegraph.
The young man showed Waters a
trick that cost him $40. He enjoyed
the trick very much at that time, but
since thinking over the matter has
come to the conclusion that he did not
get $40 worth of fun out of it,
While the train was moving rapid
Nv in the direction of Atlanta the
Young man asked Waters if he had
anv money, that if he had he would
show him a trick. He explained to
Waters that his throat was so con-
structed that he could swallow bills of
any denomination, and then cough
them up as we'll. Waters handed the
smooth stranger a five dollar bill,
and he gulped it down with ease, say
ing he was still hungry. Waters
skinned off a ten dollar note and
passed this to the stranger.
This soon disappeared and the man
called for more A twenty dollar bill
was then showed at the stranger, who
rolled it up in wad and apparently
gulped it down with ease.
At this juncture Waters asked to be
allowed to see the other part of the
performance, that of coughing up the
money. The stranger, after making a
terrific effort to unlock his throat, f.
nally drew from his mouth the five
and ten dollar bill, but failed to pro-
duce the twenty.
'Come again, cried Waters to his
friend, but the stranger said he could
not oct the note until he had time to
rest his throat. He explained that it
was harder work to cough up big
dill than a small one, and would need
time to get his throat in working
order.
Don't be worried " said the stran-
GER 81 will get it for you in day or
two and send it to you at Duluth, " and
with this he walked out of the car and
Jumped from the train.
Waters has asked the police in At
lanta to assist him in finding the
smooth stranger. He says if he can
get his hands on him he will have
his twenty dollar bill if cotton GIN
blet viii bring it out of his throat,
and he looked as if he meant every
word he said. Waters is not in the
market for any more tricks at twenty
dollars per trick.

BALL CUT JUGULAR VEIN
BAD NEGRO KILLED THE MAR
Shall OF TOWN OF PRETORIA.
Manner Was Pete Thomas Sixth Vic
tim. Judge Spence Will Call
Special Term of Court.

John Manner. marshal of Pretoria,
was shot and almost instantly killed
by Pete Thomas, a negro. Thomas
had been creating some disorder, his
conduct finally becoming such that the
officer approached him with the inten-
ton of placing him under arrest.
The officer knowing the negro to be
a bad character, ordered him to throw
up his hands. Thomas replied by pre-
senting a revolver. The first shot shat
tered the marshal's forearm and the
second cut his jugular vein, and
brought him to the ground. Thomas
then pumped the remaining bullets in
his revolver into the PROSTATE body
of the officer, who was dead when as
sistance reached him. AS Thomas ran
off a white man who had run up fired
twice at his retiring form, and it after
wards developed that both shots took
effect, one in the hand and the other
in the thigh. The negro was captured
next day by Sheriff Edwards of
Dougherty in the lower part of the
county and only about three miles
from the scene of the tragedy. He
made the statement to the officer who
arrested him that Manner was the
sixth man whose life had taken.
Thomas is now in jail at Albany,
and Judge Spence will call a special
term of the superior court to try him.
Pretoria is in the southwestern part
of Dougherty county, being the town
which has grown up in few years
around the plant of the Red Cypress
Lumber Company, the mammoth
enterprise established by the late r.
H. Plant o { Macon.

MEMORIAL OF BIG BATTLE.
Monument Being Erected to Com
memOrate Napoleon's Defeat.


One of the greatest battles in history
occurred on Oct IS, 1913, at Leipsic,
when Napoleon was defeated by the al
lied European armies. During the last
few years funds have been collected all
over the German fatherland in order to
provide for means for the erection of
an immense monument in commemOra
ton Of this great battle, which laid the
foundation for united German nation,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
This gigantic monument, which will
be the greatest in the world, is now I'M
der construction, and it will be finished
to be unveiled on the day Of the one
hundredth anniversary of the great bat
tie, Oct 10, 1913.
Work on the monument was started
during the spring of 1900. The base
covers no less than $500 square me-
tiers, while the extreme height when
finished will be 362 feet. The monu-
ment is built Oh a hill in the neighbor-
hood Of the city of Leipsic which rises
to an altitude Of about 175 feet above
the ground level of the city and there
fore will be visible from a great dis
lance The steps leading to the first
terrace are of German granite. A re-
lief 21O feet in length and SO feet high
adorns the front of the structure. When
completed The main figure of the mOnu-
ment will show the Archangel Michael,
the patron saint of the Germans, stand
ing on a gigantic war chariot. Around
lie the bodies of the soldiers who
fought the battle of Leipsic In gothic
letters the relief bears the inscription,
"Gott Nit Uns" God with u.s.. The
monument will cost several million
marks, the entire amount having been
already collected. Professor Bruno
SchD,itz, famous architect and sculp-
tor, is in charge of the work.

OsIer would Tax the Girls.

DIR. Osler has been talking again in
a manner to get himself into the prints.
But this time he will not be met by a
storm of protest, as when he talked
chloroforming men at sixty years of
age. His latest declaration is in favor
of a government export tax on girls.
He thinks too many rich American
girls are going out of the country to
be the wives of European nOblemen,
and that if they persist in going they

Ape to Repeat Words.
The director of the National museum
Of the City of Mexico recently receiv-
ed copy Of report issued by DR.. s.
W. Speiztechizze, director of the mu-
scum in Rio Janelro, Brazil, detailing
the results of his experiments with
monkeys, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. The report is sensational.
DR. SpelZtechizze declares that he has
taught one large ape to talk and to
obey commands and says that he be-
lleves it possible to develop similar
powers and intelligence in the majority
of monkeys The talking ape at pres
ent simply repeats words and express
stons like a parrot, but the Brazilian
doctor says he thinks the animal will
ultimately reach such grade Of intel
llgencc as TO be able to express his de
sires in speech.
Or. SpeiztechiZZe concludes his re-
port with the statement that he is con-
fidcnt monkeys can be made useful in
many kinds Of work and that they can
be trained for offensive and defensive

The Plague in India.

From the Philadelphla Ledger
In February the death in India from
the plague alone numbered 126, O4l,
and in January and February to-
gether the total was 252, 567. This is
no sudden outbreak. For years the
plague has been claiming victims, des-
olating whole provinces. The NOR
tality, however, has increased each
year. In 1901 the plague carried out
272, 600, in 1902 the deaths were 250, 900
and in 1903 they exceeded 800, 900. In
oculation has been a complete failure.
Also it is unpopular. In the Punjab
nineteen of the inoculated died of te-
tanus. The British government has
appointed body of scientific men to
investigate, but it will be two years
before any report can be made. There
are people who think the money spent
on durbars and Tibetan adventures
should have been used to fight the
plague.
