AUTO ROAD FOR FLORIDA.

Henry M. Flasler Plans a Six Mile
 Speedway Near OrmOnd.
 Henry NJ. Flagler, president of the Florida East Coast railway, is soon to begin the construction of an automo- bile road between Ormond and Sea breeze in conjunction with the authori- ties of the last named place, says a special dispatch from Jacksonville, Fla. to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 The road will be six miles long, straight as an arrow and as fine as can be built. It is to be used for road rae ing and time trials whenever the Or mond- -Daytona beach is unfit It will be only the beginning of a series of fine roads stretching continuously from Or mond to New Smyrna, fully twenty miles.
 The bad weather and high tides at the recent automobile races demon stratett comGlusively that 1t Is, impossi- ble' to always depend upon, the beach and that other provision must be made.
 Messrs. Flagler and Parrott went over the ground few days ago and recently reached an understanding with the Seabreeze authorities. This first link in the road system will run along the east side of the Halifax, close to the river.

The Union Supply

night that Mahoney went without sleep, and almost without food, will be kept green in his memory as long as he lives.
 AS usual. Mahoney left the trail some little time before sundoWn, made his camp and gathered large quan- tity of wood. He knew that if he could weather the night, his fight against sleep and beast would be end ed, for the next day would find him at a roadhouse, and from then on it would be easy sailing
 Everything went we'll until three o'clock. From then on until morning it was not so much of fight for the preservation of the remains of. the late mayor as it was for the preservation of the life of Mahoney The wolves, their hunger increasing, grew bolder, and despite the fact that the fire was burning as brightly as the fires of the previous night had done, the gray timber terrors crept closer and closer. Ever and anon one, overbold, would jump out of the shadow circle cast by the flames of the fire and snap VI ciously at the feet of the silent watcher
 All night long Mahoney fought these wolves. He would take long piece of pine timber, and, with one end burn ing. would strike and smash at the glowing eyes and gleaming teeth, and in that way he not only kept himself awake, but he also drove back his foes.
 When morning finally came. Ma honey. half-crazed through fear and loss of sleep. once more took the trail, and at noon that day he came to a roadhouse, where he was re- celved. fed and put to bed. He slept until eight o'clock the next morning, when he at once took to the trail, and from that timL until he reached Val dez he was not compelled to spend a single night alone. nor did he again hear from the unwelcome guests that had followed him for three days and nights.
 There are white hairs on Mahoney's s head today They were absent when he left Fairbanks

 OVER ALASKAN TRAIL.

Fire Alone Seves Man and Burden on Long and Desolate Journey Almost Crazed by Lack

Tacoma, Wash-The story told by M. A. Mahoney, who brought the body of the late Mayor Humes, of Seattle, from Fairbanks, in the interior Of Alaska, is grewsome one. His ex- periences along the trail are worthy of the morbid pen of Poe or the imagina- tion of Stevenson. Mahoney is frank enough to confess that could he have foretold the hardships that awaited him on that road of ice and snow, he would never have undertaken the jour- ney.
 He was scarcely two days out of Fairbanks when his worries began with the cries of wolves Mahoney brought his dog team to a stop and listened. In short time the vail was repeated. This time it was an- swered by another. coming from a point down the trail, but unmistakably nearer.
 Mark Mahoney knew that a big pack of timber wolves had struck his trail. and that from that hour he must pit his brain against their hunger; match his wit and cunning against theirs. Un- armed, he stood and reflected Barring accidents, he knew that three long days and nights lay before him before he could hope for human help. He

It is stated on good authority that the selection of Anderson does not please Senator Platt, but that neither he nor Senator Depew will make an aggressive fight against confirmation. It now seems that they will not need to do so, as there are other senators who are only too willing to compass the de feat of Anderson. Among these are Senator Allison. who, in the absence of Senator Aldrich, the chairman of the committee, is acting chairman. Sen ator Platt of Connecticut is another member of the committee who does not approve of the selection made by the president.

Appointments of the Caronia, CunaPd
 Lines Finest Vessel.

Appointments of the Caronia, Cunard Lines Finest Vessel.
 The Cunard lines newest and biggest twin screw ship Caronia, which recent ly arrived at New York on her maiden voyage, is described by the English press as being one of the most beauti- full and spacious of modern passenger boats, says the New York Tribune. She has displacement of 3O,OOO tons, is 675 feet from stem to stern, has beam of 72Ha feet and is 97 feet from keel to bridge. She can comfortably accommo- date HOO passengers of the three class es and a crew of 40O
 The vessel has eight decks. They are lettered below the boat deck from A to G. On the A deck is the oak pan eled smoking room, which is equipped with easy chairs and lounges and a large hammered copper fireplace. Above this smoking room is a large, domelike skylight of glass of a golden color scheme On this deck also is the lounge" where men. may enjoy their after dinner cigars and the women their coffee. Many of the choicest state rooms are on the upper promenade deck. A number of them are en suite. with a bathroom. while several of the more pretentiOus ones consist of bed room, parlor, bathroom and toilet room. One of the novel features of the Caro- mia is that by great sacrifice of deck room all bathrooms are separate from toilet rooms.
 The great dimensions of the Caronia may be best appreciated by compari- son. If the vessel were placed on the east side of the capitol at Washington she would actually hide it from view save for distance of thirty eight feet at each end. and only the dome could be seen above. It is estimated that the steamers two great tunnels. which reach to height of 150 feet above the keel, are equal to the height of a twelve story building. and if placed on the ground two regular passenger locomo- lives could pass through them on par allel tracks.
 The Caronia has thirteen boilers and fifty-four furnaces. Her engines. which are of the quadruple expansion type. are capable of generating 10000 indi- cated horsepower, which gives the boat maintained speed of eighteen knots, or twenty miles an hour.

Hunting With Wolves,

E. S. Shepard of Rhinelander. Wis, has trained band of wolves which are being used in hunting their untamed brothers of the woods. The animals take the trail of any wild animal on which they are placed. says Rhine lander dispatch. A Milwaukee hunter recently employed the trained animals and went on hunt for three days and brought back seventeen deer. nine ot- ter and three bears. The leader is a large and unusually tame animal and easily controls his pack while fin the field. The owner says he does not feed them for two days before sending them out. which makes them eager and swift on the trail. The wolves are even used 10 capture other wolves. which are killed and scalped for the state bounty.

There will have to be much more suffering. and even bloodshed, before the Russian people can attain to perfect liberty and light, which they are not even prepared to en- joy to the full. In the meanwhile they are prejudicing their own case by ask ing for too much all at once. They de- mand more than they could possibly di- gest in the present unregulated state of their political stomachs. But that is no reason why the czar should have con- mitted the folly of declining to receive from them direct their immoderate pe- tition of rights.

Another flower which lends itself to such treatment is the ten week stock, Forgetmenot is to be had in all shades of blue as well as its own light blue and also in vivid green. These and other flowers are made good use of. but roses continue to hold the proud posi- tion of prime favorites. There is a tendency not only to produce them in all colors, but also is a variety of strange shapes. There are full blown roses the petals of which lie almost fat. Some of these have the heart quite on one side instead of in the cen ter.

had covered vast stretch of territory that day, and was tired. As he listened to the walls of the hungry pack coming closer and closer he knew there was no sleep for him that night. And there was none.
 There was only one thing for him to do, of course, and the fact that he brought the body through safely shows that he did it. He spoke to the leader of his dog team. and they. too, hear ing and understanding the 'call of the wild" wheeled quickly and made off for the woods in direct right angle to the trail
 Once under the shelter of the pines and frs, Mahoney built log fire and proceeded to get himself and his dogs nasty supper It was we'll that he acted quickly, for hardly had the evening meal been finished when the wolves arrived.
 Mahoney placed the casket contain ing the remains of Mayor Humes as close to the fire as he dared. ynd then sat down. The dogs. from sheer weariness and fright. crept between the box and the cracking wood fire, and lay there, whining through the long watches of the night.
 All night long that lonely camp. pitched upon one of the most desolate and solitary trails in all the frozen recesses of Alaska. was surrounded by row of gleamihg eyes. Mahoney sat there alone, the casket for his seat. and stared back into the eyes that gleamed so hungrily at him. Sleep? Ii was out of the question. Rest? Every nerve in the mans body was straining to a tension that bespoke a breaking.

 All that day he pursued his way over mountains. through timber, across rivers and over plains. and not once did he see a sign or hear a sound from the pack that he knew too well were silently following his footsteps But no sooner had the sun begun to dip toward the western horizon than he again heard the vail of the wolf a long. unnatural. blood-curdling vail. and again he spoke to the leader of his dog team. and again the trail was left and Mahoney struck for the shell tering shadows of the wood

The saloon men say they are doing if in the interest of the farmers. who from time to time have complained that they cannot get their men to work Monday morning on ac- count of the saloons. By closing at { o'clock. it is maintained. the working men get a chance to sober up and gef home. The early closing movement will probably he continued throughout the summer.

not to meet an automobile.

which partook with thankful heart.

We spent pleasant few hours Satur-
day with the Buckfield p. of II. 1t was
an all.day meeting. 1t is occasionally
remarked by those who don't know of
the pleasures that await in the secret
chambers beyond the shadow of the
outer gate, that victuals is the chief at
traction and the drawing card. 1t can
not be denied that grange dinner is a
fascinating object to the hungry. You
are we'll enough acquainted with the
women of your native town to testify
that in the culinary department they
throw double SKIES every time If you will
allow me to express it in that way. The
grange hall is where the spirit and the
mind get fed also. And that sort of
food is not so perishable. 1t endures.
If assimilated it builds up character,
and character is eternal as the stars.
A little light food with the solid does
no harm. We were very much pleased
with the farce that was presented by
five or six young ladies. One was a
young old maid and the others were
young maidens, and the beauty of it was
that they were natural, nothing Stilted
about it, as the manner of some is. 1t
carried us back to the days when we
were stage-struck. Was it half CEN
fury ago, or only just the other day?
IT'S tale that is told. IT'S gone, and
here we are. We accept the situation,
because we must.

with thousands of others, have caught
on to the idea that our hearts are so
contracted by age that they are incapa-
