number of years yet. She has a fine appetite and enjoys her meals. She was never on a railroad train in her life and was never in Scottsboro, the County site of the County in which she has lived ever since 1t was a County.
 Her parents came from England to this country in 179S and first settled in what is now Buncomb County, North Carolina, and subsequently emigrated to this State.
 She has four nephews, all the sons of her brother Jacob, the youngest of whom is now 65 years old. She is now living with Jake Allen, a son who is 73 years old Until the last year or two she would walk to church, a mile distant, and back. Her eyesight is good and she spends the greater part of her time in her large rocker knit ting, at which she is an expert.
 Aunt Bettie" says she never wore anything but a homo knit stocking in her life. She smokes a pipe a great deal. She still retains her spinning wheel. a home made one. but cannot spin upon 1t now, as she received a fall that hurt her badly and she cannot walk only a short distance at a time. She has a great-great- -great-nephew living in Scottsboro, who has just re- turned from a visit to her.

CoIorw Which Birds Dislike.

Red will worry a turkey cock as much as a bull. but a sparrow will not let 1t disturb its mind. But if one fiirts a blue rag in front of a caged spar rows eyes he will go frantic with dis gust. Sparrows and linnets. too, will refuse food offered them on a piece of blue paper and dislike the appear ance of anyone wearing a blue dress. Medium light blue affects them most and blue sergethey scarcely mind at all. Thrushes and blackbirds object to yellow, but will use red or blue dried grasses left about their haunts to build the outer layer of their nests. Yellow grasses they will not use.

rebate case, in which Paul Morton was
involved, is attacked in statement
given out last night by former Attor-

special counsel for the government in
the case. Referring to the letters be-
tween the president and Attorney
General Moody on the case, made pub
lie in Washington yesterday, in which
the executive and Attorney General
agreed that there was no evidence on
which to take legal proceedings against
Mr. Morton, Mr.. Harmon inferentially
makes fiat contradiction of the view
of Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Harmon says:
'The president and attorney general
seem to be congratulatfng each other
because the government lost it's case
against the Santa Fe Railroad Com

there was nothing in the case / do not
understand why they turned it over TO
Mr.. Judson and myself The inter
state commerce commission found and
reported that the company had for
years flagrantly broken the hw against
rebates. We refused to believe that the
corporation had slipped out of nights
and handed over the rebates, while the
officers in charge Of its traffic were

them accordingly. This course was

Bears Raid Boston Market on News of
Chicago Failure.
Boston. Dec. 19.-There was bad
break in the Boston stock market at
the opening when the news was re-
ceived from Chicago yesterday Of the
crash of the Walsh banks. Prices Of
several Of the copper stocks dropped
off from three to ten points in the first
few minutes ON enormous selling or
ders.
The bears thought the "physchologi-
cal moment had come, and they inn
mediately poured selling orders into the
market until the whole list went with
a rush. Stop orders were uncovered
and for few minutes it seemed as
though huge break might ensue. but
the worst was averted. Almalgamated
went off about seven points from Sat
urday's close and Anaconda six. The
lowest prices as rule were made in
the first half hour. For some time
after that quotations were very irreg-
ular, but finally the market steadied
and rallied. Although the closing was
materially lower than Saturdays,
prices were substantially higher than
the low point of the day.
North Butte and United Copper.
which have been the most buoyant OF
the Boston mining stocks, had the most
serious losses, North Butte dropped to
76M and United Copper to "a. Cen
tennial, Copper Range, Osceola and

of the other coppers were quite firm
under the circumstances. Some very

Terre Haute, Ind, Dec 19-The ter
minals Of the Southern Indiana road
here are valued at from $1,000,000 to
$1,250,000 and while John r. Walsh is
said to have paid extravagant prices
for the land, today 1t is worth SO per
cent more than the purchase price.
A belt road Of ten miles cost him
100000. Though completed a year
ago, 1t was put In use by other roads
only recently because they had been
unable to agree with him on terms.
The Chicago division Of the Southern
Indiana now building had been looked
forward to as a source OF relief from
blockades Of Indiana coal destined for
Chicago and last week trains of coal
were sent over 1t for the first time,
and as far north as Hunriok, Ill.,, to
be delivered to the Clover Leaf.
i J. w. Thompson, who was general
manager of the Walsh roads and
president Of one Of his merger mining
companies, was sun1narily removed
by Walsh a few months ago, as were
several other officials. No explanation
for this has ever been given to the
public Thompson said today that the
failure had been expected by him for
some time.
