CT the many intelligent and thoughtful
women of Fulton county. The editor
has no greater ambition than to make
the "News" not only faithful chroni-

The author OF the foregoing article
may, or may not, know that by an act
which became law on the 10Th of

required to devote period each week,
not to exceed one-half hour, to the in
struction of pupils up to and includ-
ing the fourth grade, which shall in
clude kind treatment of birds and aui-
mails, and the teachers must certify to
the board of directors in making their
monthly reports, that such instruction
has actually been given according to
law. A neglect to do this would af-
feet the townships getting its appro-

ued DR.. Kalbfus, land We expect
to hear of many quail being taken.
One reason why quail are plentl-
full is because of the importation
into the State from Alabama last
year of hundreds of quail for pro
pagation purposes. These birds
seemed TO have thrived and bred
large tlocks, and the increase de
lights the hearts of the true
sportsmen. 1t was the first time
the State ever imported birds for

MIA. Each morning after opening up
the store he has found collected
around the base of the vessel contain
ing the peas quite an accumulation OF
dead flies.
For the first day or so he regarded
the mass of defunct dipterous insects
as an accidental gathering in the
neighborhood Of the flowers, but curl
osity prompted him later to watch the
conduct of the few flies left in the
store. 1t was observed when the peas
were freshly picked and Immediately
after their being placed in the vases
those flies in the vicinity swarmed
upon the petals and proceeded to
fasten themselves there. Shortly at
terward they fell from their positions,
dead.
It is presumed that the odor of the
peas attracted them first and that af-
terward they absorbed some poison
GUS exudation, that the flowers pos
sess and died in consequence. So far
as known the peas possess no toxic
effects upon the human being.

to be the finest apartment house in

MEN WHO FLY IN LIGHT
or NEWPORT'S BEAUTIES
What Does Profession Society Think Of Them !?
Called Sissies by Famous Beauty.

No less a person than the girl whom
Harold Vanderbilt, 1t is said, is going
to marry, is credited with attacking
the men Of the younger set in New
port society.
"They are sissies," is what Miss
Elenora Sears is reported to have en-
phatically remarked of the swells who
act as escorts to functions, follow
humbly in the train of their dashing
sisters as they perform athletic mar
vels in the surf, on the tennis courts
Or golf links, at the wheel~of the auto
mobile or holding the reins over pair
Of flyers.
Miss Sears certainly did not mean
the elderly men Of affairs, the solid
business men who make the wealth
that erects the stately palaces that
line the ocean front of the country's
pleasure metropolis. These are con-
stantly dealing with big matters, and
have little leisure for trifing.
The wealthy youngsters whose only
ability is to spend inherited wealth or
money gained through the social favor
Of woman of influence, were the tar
gets at which the famous Boston ten
mis- player and all around, athlete was
shooting. \

ADOLPH SEGAL, WORLDS
CHAMPION BORROWER
Hov Poor Immigrant Made Others Finance His Enor
Schemes
nous Schemes.

Because of Adolph Segal's extraordi-
nary capacity for borrowing money,
which quite equalled, if it did not sur
pass the talent of Mrs. Cassie Chad
wick in this direction, the depositors
of the Real Estate Trust Company of
Philadelphia face the prospect of los
ing the ten millions of dollars they
had entrusted to that bank while Sc
sal is charged with embezzlement,
conspiracy and perjury and the shad-
ow CT the penitentiary looms before
him.
When the institution collapsed re-
Gently, it was found that the funds and
securities had been withdrawn to
finance the schemes of Adolph Segal,
and when the securities on which he
lad borrowed were examined, it de-
veloped that many were valueless, and
the best not worth one-tenth of their
face value. Almost as bad as the
mythical estate of the Humberts, and
the paper in Mrs. Chadwicks strong
box.
The president of the bank, who had
leaned the money to Segal, escaped
the penitentiary by shooting himself.
Other officials of the wrecked trust
compcny are under arrest, and the
reputation of the directors, formerly
men Of the highest standing in the
community, have gone down in the
crash, and at least two, it is believed
will not long survive the disgrace that
has come upon them.
Segal owes the Real Estate Trust
company more than five million dol
lars, yet little more than twenty years
ago he came to this country from Aus
tria in the steerage, and did not have
one dollar to rub tgainst another.
He looked like a musician with his
curling hair and his dark soulful eyes,
and his voice was gifted with a mar
velous persuasiveness that soon was
applied to the wheedling of money
from those who had it.
He first went into the soap manu-
featuring business in Philadelphia on
capital of $500, sum that seems ah-
surdly small when compared with the
huge amounts that have been the
basis of his subsequent operations.
The Cook County herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Minn.) 1893-1909, 1906-12-01

No wonder Miss Sears got bit out
of patience. She is such a good ath-
lete that at every game she is the SUI
perior of the Newport man. She is in
defatigab]e in her exercise, and gets
up at o'clock every morning. This
in itself would make her unique in a
resort where nobody, and particularly
the men, wants a breakfast served
much before noon. Miss Sears
thinks nothing of f1ve-mile swim,
will play tennis four hours at a
stretch, has gone forty;fve holes OF
golf in a day, jumps intos,an automo-
bile on the fly, can sail a catboat in
wind that would dau MT an old sailor,
drives four-in-hand, plays polo and
learns any new game in half dozen
trials.
Harry Lehr cannot do any of these
things half as we'll, neither can Alfred
or Reggie Vanderbilt, or young Goelet,
or Baytoni, or Joe Widener, or any one
of half dozen other popular young
Newport men who might be men,
toned.
Newport SCOTS Miss Sears opinion.
It says she expects too much from
men who have to consult nothing but
their own preferences since childhood.
If they are butterflies, whose favorite
diversion is to fly in the light of the
world-famous beauties, who have Civ
en- Newport the reputation of being
the leading fashionable resort of the
New World, such q result was the
only possible natural outcome.
