KILLED A HAIRLESS
SEAL AT KEY

The Miami Metropolis publishes the
following, >from its Key West Bureau:
Sunday party of young men went
out for a cruise and fish. While in
Jewish channel they saw a large OBJ
ject in the water and on getting near
to it struck it with a pair of grains
It proved to be a monster seal and
was too much for the five men in the
dingy and pulled them around at q
five mile gait.
Finally it made a charge on the
dingy and seeing it would be impos
sible to lana it alive, the men shot
and towed it to the large boat and
brought it to Key West. The seal
measured eight feet and weighed SOC
pounds. II is on exhibition on Front
street and a large crowd have paid
an admission of ten cents to see it.
The strange fish had no hair but in
ali other Sespects resembles the seals
caught in Alaska. These seals have
been seen around Dog Rocks and
this one, no doubt. strayed away from
there

NEW RAILROAD
To GULF Of
MEXICO
Proposed Line Will Start from Au-
guSta, Ga, and Connect
Many Cities.

The following dispatch, which is
self explanatory, has appeared in a
number Of newspapers during the past
few days under a Baltimore date
line:
A syndicate headed by Middendorf,
Williams & Co, of Baltimore, and Jno.
Shelton Williams, Of Richmond, have
acquired several small railroad lines
in the south, which they will connect
and form a new trunk line from Au-
gusta, Ca to the Gulf of Mexico. The
total mileage of the new systems,
when extensions planned are complet-
ed, will be about $50.
The lines traverse the sections be-
tween Augusta and Valdosta, Ga. a
distance of about 200 miles. Less
than 100 miles of new road will have
TO be built to connect those already
purchased.
Some of the roads that have been
bought are the Augusta and Florida,
recently completed between Keysville
Ga, and Midwife; the Swainsvllle and
Red Bluff railway, from Midwife to
Swainsville; the Douglas, Augusta
and Gulf railway, from Barrows Bluff
TO Nashville.
The plans of the purchasers have
not been worked out as yet, except
that 1t is their intention to build an
extention to Tallahassee, Fla. at
which point connection will be made
with roads now reaching the Gulf
of Mexico.
1t is understood that the Augusta
and Florida will Immediately be ex-
tended from Keysville to Augusta, a
distance of about twenty-five miles.
1t is also contemplated to build an
extension of about ten miles to a con-
nectiOn with the Millen and Vidalia,
on the SeabOard Air Line system.
Another twenty-five mile extension
probably will be built TO Hazelburst,
where connection win be made with
fOrty-mile line to Nashville, Ga.
From Nashville an extension of TWEEN
ty-five miles will be constructed to
Valdosta, to be followed later by an
extension to Tallahassee, a distance
of forty miles. The proposed new
trunk line will traverse one of the
richest sections of Georgia and Flor
ida.
Money to finance to deal has been
already supplied, and the promoters
are now busily engaged upon the
plans of extension and other details
connected with the formation of the
system.

THE POPULTsT CHATRNfAN.

Tell 1t not beyond the Mississippi
Let it not be known in the effete eastl
The new state chairman of the Popu-
list party in Kansas is a banker. but it
mustn't be told to New York, or New
York will be shocked
But that isn't all This new Popu-
list state chairman is a brother of the
Republican lieutenant governor of
Kansas. who happens to be one Of the
wealthiest men in the Sixth district
a plutocrat of the shortgrass country
who owns twenty farms in single
township. to say nothing about a mis-
cellaneous assortment of other real

mails, Messrs. Puck and Judge. whose
idea Of a Populist is a gentleman
dressed in overalls, boots and one

streaming in the Kansas wind; an in

the government print paper money for

Breidenthal was the same. He was
one Of the shrewdest politicians and
organizers the state Of Kansas ever
produced. and in the Wall street fnan-
cial world he would have ranked as a
leader. Incidentally. Mr.. Breidenthal
is now the president probably of more
banks than any other man west of the
Mississippi. AS the head of a trust
company he has quietly organized or

Mayor w ". Rose Of Kansas City
now undoubtedly knows that the su-
preme court means business when it
says a thing. As a result Of having
doubts on this subject Mayor Rose is
compelled to contribute a thousand
dollars to the state school fund in the
shape of a fine. and If he fails to do it
in twenty days ne must go to Jail.
Mr.. Rose is said by those who know
him to be pretty good sort of a man
in some ways, and he is assuredly
popular in Kansas City, Kansas, where
he lives. In face of having been GUST
ed from Office by the highest court in
the state, the people Of that city turned
around and again elected him to that
same office.
But Mayor Rose appears to have
had a decidedly erroneous impression
as to what some laws are for. Some
laws. of course. We're to be enforced,
but others. particularly the prohibitory
law, were to be violated If it happened
that they were difficult of enforcement
or if the city could make anything by
allowing their violation
This was the Rose idea. in face of
the fact that the mayor took an oath
to enforce the law to the best Of his
ability Consequently when it was
proven that the mayor Of Kansas City,
Kansas, was violating his oath. the
supreme court invited him to step
down and out Mayor Rose made
haste to accept the invitation before it
was formally given. and then ran
again for mayor for the balance of his
original term, in spite of the supreme
courts mandate that he was not quail
flied to hold the Office during the rest
of that term. The people elected him
and Mr.. Rose undertook to act as
mayor
That Is where he got into trouble
with the supreme court. which has
now adjudged that he is guilty of con-
tempt and he must pay a thousand
dollar fine or go to jail.
Incidentally this final action in the
Rose case ought to have a wholesome
effect on every mayor, county attorney
and other executive officer In the state
Of Kansas. In those towns and coun-
ties where the law IS openly violated
and joints are paying money to the
cities with the knowledge and consent
Of the officers. they can be proceeded
against just as Mayor Rose was

have read of men who got rich at it,
but how many of them were there?
What was the proportion to the number
of well-to-dO men who went broke fol-

man gets rich as a gambler one hun

afford to mix gambling with any kind

them for twenty years and see where
they wind up. When their sight gets
little dim and their nerves become
wrecked from aleepless nights and other
excesses that always fall to the lot of
gambler, you see a different man. Their
clothes become old and ragged and they
become Eangers-on in the places where
they used to rule. They sweep and
clean up things for a drink and a piece
Of money to get a bite to eat. They
have no home. and some cold night the
