UNLUCKIEsT MAN ALIVE.
Experience of Visiting Governor at
One OF FIOrida's Swell Hotels.

Experience of Visiting Governor at
One OF FIorida's Swell Hotels.
A couple of years ago a governor
of one of the southern states went to
Palm Beach, Fla, for a short holt
day, says the Philadelphia Record.
He registered at one of the magnifi-
cent hotels and was assigned to a
luxurious suite of rooms. He was
comfortably installed when friend
came to call on him. "This is a
wonderful apartment they have given
you," said the visitor. "Why, yes"
replied the governor, "I've never en-
joyed such luxury in my life. Never
saw such a place in my life! They
just showed me to these rooms, but
I've been wondering if they realized
that [ was poor man. What do you
suppose they'll charge me?" "Well,
governor, answered the other, Il
happen to know that. The last man,
a railroad president from New York,
paid S75 day for these very rooms. A."
Scissors to grind" cried the I'M
fortunate politician. 'T've only got
$50. I'll have to leave here at once.
But look here, Jim, | don't want to
confess that can't pay for at least
one day, so you go down to the sta
ton and telegraph me to come home
at once. l will meet you at the sta
ton in less than half an hour"
When the governor arrived at the
station he foundd his friend
waiting as he had arranged. "You
got my telegram all right" inquired
the acquaintance. SCOT it," quickly
answered the worried governor, in a
despairing voice, 81 should say so.
/ believe [ am the unluckiest man
alive. Why, when ask for my
bill what do you suppose the clerk
said? He told me there was no bill
said they would be honored if stayed
a year."

WANTS STORY OF THE CRIME.
New York Paper Offers to Pay Raw
Tings for an Authentic Account.

New York Paper Offers to Pay Raw
'Iings for an Authentic Account.
j. G. Rawlings has received an Of
fer from a New York newspaper Of
S25 if he would write out full story
of the murder of the Carter children
for the paper, and give his reasons
for wanting to be hanged. The mon
ely was deposited in bank in Valdos-
ia awaiting Rawlings acceptance.
Rawlings wrote a letter covering
nearly eight pages, but it said to have
been so bitter and abusive of the sher-
i'll and the prosecuting attorneys that
the sheriff declined to let the letter
be mailed. The New York paper will
likely have to find Rawlings in a
milder humor before it gets the story
from him, as the sheriff does not be-
lieve any good can come of publicity
of such epistles as Rawlings has been
writing.

ROCKEFELLER'S FATHER DEAD IN ILLINOIS2
Mysterious Deceased Aged Ninety-Slx, Is Believed tc
Have Been Oil Kings Pater Many Shady Deeds
Charged to Him. Who and What He Was.

Miss Tarbell maintains that the bust
ness of the head of the family was of
such a peculiar manner that few per-
sons knew much about him. He was
continually moving about the coun-
try, and appeared at home at great
intervals. Still, his family was al
ways maintained in fairly good cir
cumstances, though they were never
considered people of means.
No one here is certain as to the ex-
act date thai DR.. Livingston arrived
at Freeport. At the time Miss Ta"bell
wrote she said he was living in a
small town in Iowa.
When he left there is not known,
but it is thought the notoriety that
came to him because of the articles of
Miss Tarbell made it necessary for
him to leave in order to lead the
peaceful life which it was considered
would be in harmony with the wishes
of his son.
He had many characteristics that
we're not possessed by his offspring.
In his Younger days he was what is
known as a good fellow, not holding
himself aloof from his companions.
DR.. Livingston at one time deposited
a check for So, ZOO and told the cashier
of the bank that it represented divi-
dends on Standard oil stock which he
had obtained from John d. ROckefei-
Ter in a business transaction many
years before.
Very little is known of DR.. Living
ston's life prior to his removal here
when he was about sixty-five years
old

HURLED OUT OF GRAVE
Rain Soaked the Grave and Caused
Chemical Combustion.

Rain Soaked the Grave and Caused
Chemical Combustion.
A curious circumstance is reported
from Fulton, KY.
E. L. Dendry, a physician residing
near there, died few days ago OF
smallpox, and when his body was in
TERED large quantity of unslacked
lime was poured into the grave to in
sure speedy decomposition.
Heavy and continuous rains since
the burial soaked the grave, and the
contact of the water and lime formed
a chemical combination which result
ed in an explosion that tore the grave
asunder and hurled the corpse a long
distance from the sepulchre.
AS the neighbors of the dead man
fear contracting smallpox if they APP
proach the corpse, it was at last &C
counts still unburied.

A Fremont, Ill, dispatch says;
Dr. William Livingston, described
by Miss Ida M. Tarbel! in her history
of Standard oil as William A. Rock
efeller, father of John D. Rockefeller,
died here Saturday. He was So years
of age.
DR.. Livingston successfully repelled
every effort to obtain definite informa-
ton regarding his relationship to
John D. Rockefeller, which was di-
rectly alleged few months ago by
Miss Tarbell in McClure's Magazine.
The elder Rockefeller was known as
William A. Rockefeller. He married
Eliza Dawson, from whom John ID.
Rockefeller received his middle name,
In Moravia, N. Y, about 1887.
John Dawson Rockefeller was born
two years later. A portrait of VIII
liam A. Rockefeller, which accompa-
MED Miss Tarbell's article, was that
OF Dr. Livingston. Of the elder Rock
efeller Miss Tarbell said:
Miss Tarbrn's Sketch.
He was a famous trickster when he
came to Richford.
The reputation he had built up
IN Richford as a sporting man was
duplicated in Moravia.
He was classed popularity in Mo-
rayla as one of the gang who operat-
ed the underground horse railway
and ran off horses from various parts
OF the country.
The convicting and sentencing to
states prison in 1860 of three of his
closest pals for horse stealing, coupled
with his bad reputation, made many
OF his disappearing neighbors fix the
crime equally upon him.
There is an indictment against
William A. Rockefeller for more
serious crime than horse stealing in
Inc records of the county for 1849, and
II Is quite probable that he left Mora
via under compulsion.
there has always been much mys-
Terry as to whether or not DR.. Living
ston really was the man he was sup
posed to be. However, ever since the
publication of the Tarbell articles 1t
mas been believed he was the father OF
the richest man in the world.
mere were, it is declared, many
reasons why he should make a mys-
terry of his real name.

ANEW BREED OF HENS.
What New Jersey Farmer Has Done
in the Fowl Line.

What New Jersey Farmer Has Done
in the Fowl Line.
A New Jersey farmer has developed
a breed of hens that ought to prove
popular. For number of years he
has been annoyed by neighbours
hens scratching in his garden, so he
set about devising strain of hens
that would stay at home and not an
noy the neighbors. He says he has
succeeded. The new breed of fowls
has legs of uneven Ter 9Th. The right
leg is about six inches long and the
left leg four. Owing to this Unequal
ity in underpinning hen is unable to
take steps of equal length. When she
endeavors to wander any distance
from the coop she walks in a circle
and soon finds herself back at her own
door. Furthermore, there can be no
scratching by hens with mismated
legs. When hen stands on the short
leg the long one is put out of bust
ness, and when she stands on the long
one the short one can't reach the
Ground.

INSANITY DUE TO BERRIES?
WHAT STATISTICS REGARDING
INSANE OF COUNTRY SHOW.

Marked Increase of Dementia Observ-
ed by Physicians During Season
OF the LuciOus Strawberry.
Do more persons go insane during
the strawberry season than at any
other period of the year? If so, why?
According to Dr. E. p. Blomer,
Buffalo physician and aIienist of rep
utation in the east, the statistics re-
garding the insane of the country in
general show that each year there is a
marked increase in the number of per-
sons who become insane by the time
the strawberry season is well under
way. When the fruit disappears from
the daily table, he asserts, records of
different assylums show that the num-
Der of cases decreases.
DR.. Bloomer advanced his views on
the subject to G. E. Hager, secretary
of the state board of charities and
corrections, during visit to the
state house. He is on his way to the
Pacific coast to get definite statistics
from insane hospitals in California
and other western states, and will
visit the Colorado asylum on his re-
turn journey.
DR.. Blomer said he was unable to
explain why insanity cases should be
more numerous during the time when
shortcake and berries and cream are
in general use, but added that he was
firmly convinced there was some Pc
culiar influence exerted on persons of
a certain nervous temperament by
Strawberries. Their effect on some
persons physically, he said, was
known to all physicians. Many are
unable to eat even one dish of straw
berries without suffering from a rash
which covers the entire body. DR..
Blomer believes that in the case of
some persons the mind is affected in
stead of the body.
Secretary Hager had never heard
the story before, but declared that the
next time he visited the state hospital
he would go over the records care
fully in search of confederation of
the views of DR.. Blomer.

POUNDED ALONG ON CRossTIEs

ed TumbIing into a Ravine.
The Central of Georgia passenger
train from Andalusia, Ala, to Co
lumbus, Ca, was wrecked while pass
ing through Girard, Ala. In haul
ing dirt across the railroad track at
a crossing good deal of it spilled
on the track, and when the passenger
engine wheels struck the pile of dirt
they jumped the track.
Just beyond the crossing is trestle
over a twenty foot ravine. The
engine would have plunged into this,
but the wheels were held on the tres
tie by strip of timber nailed there
as a guard. The trestle was crossed
ia this way, and on the other side the
engine turned crosswise the track and
buried its nose in the side of cut,
turning over on its side.

Cortelyou to sequestrate all employees
suffering with pulmonary tubercu-

bring and carry away daily their own
cuspidors; that they not use the same
drinking cup, soap or towel. 1t is
further ordered that all splitting on
the floor be positively forbidden
everywhere, and that cloths supplant
all brooms COR swept ng.

An open Letter to B. R. Conner.

Sir-In response to your notice that there were false and defamatory state ments in an interview published in The Advertiser some time since de- sire to say that I intehdeato to say that you opposed the passage or a child labor law in the Legislature of 1903, and this you can not truthfully deny. You know you were in conferences In the city of Montgomery together with others who were with you in that fight, also with those who favored a child labor law. This was what said, what I meant and what l still say and mean. I do not know that you did anything against the passage Of the law that is now on tho statute books because you succeeded in get ting all of the practical good taken from it before it's introduction, you mad gotten in your work by getting the committee of gentlemen and ladies who were urging the passage of such a law, to agree on this measure, and there was no fight made on the law m the House.
 That l may not be misunderstood said you opposed the enactment of any law on this subject, this IS all l said but this I still say, and the fact that you may be worth a million dollars or ten millions. and that you may succeed in deceiving the people into electing you Governor does not in the least de- ter me from telling the truth so far as it concerns your public record. 1r this Is islander then I am mistaken for I have always believed that no harm could come to any for telling the truth in public or elsewhere.

RUNNING AWAY FROM DUTY.

The object of the Railroad Commis- sion primarily is to sec that justice is done the people as between them and the railroads The law is modelled on that of Georgia. and both derive power through legislative acts authorized by their State Constitutions, and which the Supreme Court of the United States has held to be valid. Our commission has power to have things done. It has the power to order railroad companies to do many things and to have them en- forced. The Governor has no more power on this line than the humblest citizen of Alabama. and no man knows this better than B. B. Conner, yet he is humbugging some people into the idea that If he was Governor he could do things which he knows he could not He has deliberately abandoned the post to which he was elected. and which he never cared for except as a means of going higher. If instead of discredit- ing the law under which he holds oflce, he had sought to carry out its purposes people might have some com fdence in him and more respect for his sincerity. As it is, they find him us- ing all the powers of pen, purse and voice seeking place where he would have no power to regulate railroad charges. If he can do nothing now be- cause of disagreement with his two associates. he could. if disposed to car- ry out his promises. have devoted his time to aiding In the election of one associate who does agree with hisl and thus secure a working majority. Has he done this? If so. when and where. Ills failure in this respect stamps him at once as unsincere and caring nothing about regulating railroad rates. He is running away from solemn sworn duty and deceiving the people every time he opens his month
