RUINS oF SOUTH AFRICA.
Relics Found of the Finest Nature WOE
 shipping Shrine Known to Man.


 Geographical Journal.
 Richard N Hall, who has given eight years to the study of the ancient mon uments in Southern Rhodesia, says that none of the hundreds of ruins has been more than partially explored. Many important ruins have been seen only by casual travellers, and the work of unearthinE only a part of the great Zimbabwe area would be more than the labor of a lifetime. Still, researches have made great progress in the last few years. There are in Rhodesia no less than 300 distinct ruins and groups of ruins. Only a few scores of these are entitled to rank as ancient" The larger part of them probably do not date back of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
 There is overwhelming evidence al the great Zimbabwe of the ancient civ ilization and arts possessed by the builders of the earliest period. The Zimbabwe Temple is the finest and most intact example of nature-wor- shipping shrine known to the world. Its construction points unmistakably to some knowledge of geometry and as- tronomy on the part of the builders It is quite certain that even the crudeE methods at Zimbabwe of applying this knowledge, which was common to the ancient Semitic people, were imported from the near East and did not origin ate in Southeast Africa.
 The right of ascension of the sun, the heliacal rising and the meridian pass ages of stars are believed to have been noted at Zimbabwe. These ancient builders were also pastmasters in the science of military defense, the falls showing that the builders were military strategists of the highest order. Their gold ornaments. finely designed and engraved, could not have been the work of an uncivilized people, and the hun dreds of ancient gold mines show that they were skilled in metaIlurgy and picked out rich shoots. patches and pockets with marvellous cleverness Il Is estimated that from these widespread mines they extracted S375,o00,0O0 of gold.

GOVERNOR AT CAPITOL
HE WILL NOT RETURN TO MoUN-
 TAINs OF BL0UNT.
Declines to Say Anything Concernins the Proposed Extra Session of Leg isIature--His Health is
 Good.

Governor Jeiks returned yesterday from a vacation stay at Blount Springs and he will be at the Capitol from now on. The Governor looks strong and hearty after his stay amcag the noun tains of Blount.
 While at Biount the Governor was a freouent visitor to the Capitol and he kept in daily touch with the Capitol by telephone and telegraph. He has made his last trip to Blount, however, ana will be at the Capitol during all the 1ail and winter.
 The Governor had nothing new to say yesterday on the question of an extra session of the Legislature, which Is gen- orally believed will be called when frost falls. It will be recalled that in a speech at Blount Springs he intimated that 1t was his present purpose to call the Legislature together in extra ses- sion when frost falls. He said then that the principal purpose of the as- sembling of the legislature would be the disposal of the surplus in the state treasury. He announced that he would recommend that this surplus De ap- propriated for the use of the common schools of the State.
 The Governor. yesterday, did not care to discuss the legislature, nor did nc have anything of any nature to add, on this subject, to hts Biount County ut- terances.
 The Governor was asked yesterday about the petition asking that the negro military company of Montgomery pc mustered out because they had marched LID Dexter Avenue with the band play ing a piece of music that was distaste- fui to the people of Alabama and to the people of Montgomery. The Governor said that he had not had time to ex- anime the petitions if they had been filed, with the press of the first days work. His probable action upon the pe- tItion was another matter that the Governor did not feel inclined to dis Ouss at this time.

NO MILITARY ELECTION
GOVERNOR JELKs PosTPoNEs CON-
 TEST IN SECOND INFANTRY.
ElIiwibiIify to Vote of Certain Ofncers In Question an dV0te Between
 Candidates for Colonel fs

The military election ordered for
 yesterday to select successor to Colo
 nel E. H. Graves, commander of the
 2nd Infantry was postponed by order of
 Governor JeIks. The election was
 postponed because 1t was believed that
 the right of certain officers to vote
 would be contested after the vote was
 cast.
 The nature of the irregularities. on which the contest would be properly
 based were not made public. In mak- ing the announcement yesterday. Adju- tant General w. w. Brandon said: "A
 postponement has been ordered because of alleged Irregularities as to the rights
 of certain officers to cast their votes,
 The election will be postponed until the
 right of every officer to a ballot with
 out fear of contest Is made clear.
 Where irregularities are charged new
 company election will be held if neces-
 sary."
 issued, nor would the State military officers discuss the situation. The officers of the PhAix City com pany are said to be those officers on whose account the election was post poned that they might have clear vote
 in the election for Colonel. Captain
 Martin Ballowe. commanding the Com
 pany was yesterday a 2 is visitor to .,s the of Colonel Graves in the contest for the Colonelcy, and Captain s. H. Roberts of the Greys, a friend of Colonel c. R. Bricken, were also visitors to the Cap itol yesterday afternoon. The original order directed that the End infantry election should be held yesterday, but because of the asser- tion that the vote of the Phenix City officers might be challenged the Coy ernor directed that the election should be postponed until every regularly elected and regularly commissioned of-
 ficer could read his titles clear to an official ballot.
 Four years ago when the election in the second was held 1t resulted fin contest between Colonel E. II. Graves and Colonel A. A. Wiley. This con test had to be settled by the Governor l In previous military elections the rights Tof various officers to votes had been challenged. To avoid the recurrence
 of former contests, the postponemen'
 was ordered.
 It is military gossip in Montgomery that the alleged irregularities are prop. ably due to the fact that the officers oi | the Phenix City Company have not been regularly commissioned, although the officers in question assert that they were regularly and duly elected and that they are not responsible for any delay or hitch in the receiving of the commissions.
 The contest within the regiment Us between the friends of Colonel E. II Graves and Lieutenant Colonel C. K Bricken. A rather warm campaign has been conducted and 1t Is said that there are probably not more than two oi three votes difference in the strength | of the two candidates among the nns officers of the regiment

The Princess DowaEer of China,
 whom Miss Roosevelt has privilege and
 permission to visit. has the thousnt force of many centuries in her nerve centres. She may be trigged out In quaint fashion; her headgear may looK cumbersome; her neck may be over- burdened with beads and gewgaws ana her countenance may have the soltdity of an image in a Chinese junk shop' but those are only some ways of hers. She is a statesman. It Is doubtful 1T
 she has her equal in the ffowery kine- dom.
 There was time that if woman fell Into the water. she drowned; that Is unless some plucky man was near to rush to her salvation.
 Nowadays, women are of the opinion that knowledge of swimming is among the essentials of their education. The following extract from The New York
 Times is evidence Of the value or such training.
 Mrs. F. J. Ravens, wife of we'll
 known member of the Atlantic Yacht Club and daughter-in-law of Rear Com modoYe Edward B. Ravens, was dumped
 into the water yesterday on Sea oets from her eighteen-foot catboat Red Devil. which she was sailing. Instead
 of shouting for help she swam to the l catboat, got aboard, and sailed it home. Mrs. Ravens was alone in the little craft In spite of the stiff breeze that was blowing, and was cruising about the Atlantic Yacht Club wharf, where she had been watching her husbands sloop Guest start in It's race for her
 father-in- laws trophy.
 The wind frightened. and Mrs. Havens
 attempted unaided to shake out reef
 she had tied in her mainsail. As she | leaned against the boom with tilier and mainsheet in one hand and the other occupied with the reef points, her weight snapped the slender spar and she was thrown into the water. She retained her grasp on the main
 sheet, and when she came to the sur- ! face she swam to the boat. using the
 rope as a guide. The weight of her
 skirts did not prevent her climbing back into the craft and taking the 1 tiller again and steering for the dock. There were hundreds on the porchee of the Atlantic Yacht Club watching | the racers. who saw the whole occur renee They were greatly alarmed. but
 were poweriess to help, as not launch or rowboat was at hand. Had she been unable to swim Mrs. Havens might have drowned before assistance could reach her.
 A launch came up just as she effected
 landing, and she was surrounded by | friends eager to congratulate her on
 her escape and her pluck. She hast ened to her cottage. and in half an
 hour. in fresh summer gown, was again on the club porches. none the
 worse for her adventure.
 l Mrs Havens's catboat, the Red Devil has a hull and spars of brilliant red
 and 1t is fitted with a bright-red Ratsey
 sail that can be seen two miles away
 Mrs. Ravens can handle it perfectly, l but for safety's sake the boat is | equipped with air-tight tanks, and so cannot sink.
