Memphis. Tenn. Aug. 29.-After
years of continuous and faithful ser
vice with the Illinois Central rail-
road, w. f.. McCarley has been hon
ored in a way that will be recorded
in his family for years after he has
passed to his final rest. Mr.. McCar-
ley has been division agent of the
Memphis division OF the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley railroad and has
looked after the interests of the road
for 20 years. He started in as sta
ton agent and telegraph operator,
and has worked his way to posi-
ton which places him in line for
better things. He has resigned to go
with the claim department of the
same system and is now stationed at
McComb City. At the regular meet
ing of the Order of Railroad Tele-
graphers. held at Clarksdale, Miss,
on July 23. an elaborate resolution
was adopted and Mr. McCarley was
presented with a valuable silver SER
vice. The silver service is an evil
dence of the good faith of those who
worked with him and is fitting
tribute to accompany the resolution
which was passed.

A Committee Begins Hearing
Evidence mt Louisville.
Charged That Worthy Children Have
Been Turned Away From the
Home.
NATTER TO BE FULLY sIr'TED

Louisville, KY, Aug 29.--The in
vestigation into charges of misman.
agement at the Louisville Baptist Or.
phans' Home began yesterday after.
noon in the Office of the Baptist book
concern, where The visiting commit
tee, which Is subordinate to commit
tee appointed each year by the Bap-
tist Association TO watch over the
home. began a discussion behind clio
sed doors.
The Rev. Dr. W. II. Felix, of Lex

other committeeman present were
DR.. r. w Taylor and-J. r. O'Neal,
of Louisville; the Rev j. T. Wilson.
of Lagrange, and the Rev b. b.
Bailey, OF Shelbyville.
The gist of the various reports
anoat was that the women teachers
and housekecpers treated children
with undue severity, and that de-
serving children were refused admit
lance when the home was fully able
to accommodate them. II was even
said that orphans of Baptist parents
in Louisville were taken into the
Lutheran and Catholic institutions
because they were unable TO enter
the Baptist Home.
The board of managers of the
home will meet Thursday week when
they will consider the report of the
present investigation. DR.. J. b. Mar
win. president of the board. is in
Europe. and if he does not return, in
time. Mr.. Elijah Bayse. the vice pres
ident. will probably take charge.
There are now about 65 children
in the home, which is a falling off of
about % in the past few years
The Rev. J. T. Wilson. of the sub
committee, said today: when
was a member of the board. nearly
twenty years ago. the situation was
that the home wished to support
more waits than it could get, and
was constantly communicating with
the poor houses throughout the state
Now il seems that there is difficulty
in deserving orphans gaining admit
lance"
Besides property worth more than
S20O.0 in Louisville and large
funds left in Wills, the Baptist home
has land in many of the counties OF
the state.

~ er,ohsrs Conclusions of Century Age
Are Being Verified.

More than a century ago Sir William
Herschel was able to fix roughly what
we call the apex OF the suns way in
space, or the point among the stars
toward which that way is for the mo-
ment directed. We say for the mo-
ment but we meant that moment of
which Bradley saw the beginning in
1850, and upon whose end no man Of
those now living shall ever look. Her
schel found that comparison of old
stellar observations seemed to indicate
that the stars in certain part Of the
sky were opening out. as IL were, and
that the consultations in the opposite
part Of the heavens seemed to be draw
ing in, or becoming smaller. There
can be but one reasonable explanation
of this. We must be moving toward
that part of the sky where the stars
are separating. Just SO a man watch
ing a regiment of soldiers approaching
will see at first only "A confused body
of men. But as they come nearer the
individual soldiers will seem to sepa-
rate, until at length each one Is seen
distinct from all the others. Her
schel fixed the position o. The apex at
a point in the Constellat. n Hercules.

Newcomb, published OILY few

fed Herschel's conclusions. with the
intuitive power OF rare genius Her

his disposal would now be called rude,
but they disclosed to the scrutiny OF
his acute understanding the germ Of
truth that was In them. Later inves-
legations have increased the precision
OF our knowledge, until we can now
say that the present direction OF the
solar motion is known within very
narrow limits. A tiny circle might be
drawn on the sky to which an as
tronomer might point his hand and
say: "Yonder little circle contains
the goal toward which the sun and
planets are Fastening today. Even the
speed OF this motion has been sub
jected to measurement and found to
be about ten miles per secN"N

WAYS OF WILD CREATURES.
Easy Victim Preferred by Those Who
Prey on Their FeIIous

In recently published book on
fishing, w. s. Hodgson, an English
sportsman, argues that when fish
of the salmon kind, or pike, takes a
real minnow impaled on a fight of
hooks or a manufactured thing re-
sembling a minnow the fish is moved
less by desire to eat than by a de.
sire to kill. lie derives this impress.
sion from the fact that "a salmon or a
trout, like a pike, will leave a whole
shoal Of minnOws undisturbed, and
rush at an impaled minnow, or a phan.
tom" A critic of the book says:
Surely this is very farfetched. Fish
and birds of prey, like human beings,
are averse % unnecessary trouble, and
as it is easier to catch a wounded
creature than a fresh one, a peregrine
will take an injured grouse or a pike
a tethered or spinning bait when II
comes in his way, not because of the
instinct which leads wild animals to
kill the weaker brethren, but from
the natural tendency to take the
goods the gods provide you in the
shape of cheaply earned and easy
meal" 1t may be added that old
guides of northern Wisconsin hold
with Mr.. Hodgson that the muskel.
lunge strikes the bait ordinarily only
when he feels savage and desires to
kill something

CHANGED CiRCUMSI ANCES.
A Man Once u Millionaire Now Lives In
"a Harn.

Robert A. Johnston, sole survivor of
firm OF famous Broadway dry good,
merchants. has lived for years a her
NIT in what remains of his beautiful
home at Riverdale, on the Hudson.
This solitary man, who twelve years
ago was worth $1,000, 900, has made his
home In a barn since last winter, and
even that he owes to the kindness of
ihe new owner, a Wall street concern.
John Johnston came to New York
from County Armagh, Ireland, many
years ago. He opened small dry
goods business, which soon grew to
great success. He brought his broth
ers Charles and Robert from Ireland
and made them his partners under the
name Of J. & c. Johnston. Their great
store at Broadway. Twenty second
street and Fifth avenue, was one OF
the finest in New York. Charles died
In 1880 and John in 1887. Robert, the
youngest brother. inherited all the
property. His wealth was estimated
at more than 81 900 900. The suspen-
sion of the old house was announced
half century began to vanish as II
w magic. No one knows how Robert
\. Johnston lost his money. Within
twelve years his great fortune has
melted away. Soon after Johns death
Robert paid 100000 for a dozen acres
Of land along Cuthhert lane and there
built a magnificent stone mansion.
There he lived in stately seclusion.
The house was filled with beautiful
'Trniture, exquisite paintings, statuary
and bric-a-brac. But the former mil
lonaire was growing poorer day by
day. He could not keep his servants.
Forrest house, which once belonged to
him, was destroyed by fire In 1899. 1t
passed out OF his possession months
before. Johnston filed a petition In
bankruptcy on Feb. 6, 1900 showing
no assets and liabilities OF $4,000, OF
which $4,000 were deficiency judg-
ments and the rest chiefly for gro
series. clothing, servants wages, etc.
