INSISTS UPON SIDE BET
DenveTite Wants Terry to Put Up
S,oOO-McGuigan Not Wanted
as Referee.

NEW YORK, Oct 22.-Al Herford, the
promoter OF the Eureka Athletic Club
of Baltimore. has offered a purse Of
$1,000 for a fifteen-rOund night between
Young Corbett ana Terry McGovern.
Herford wired his offer 10 Young Cor
bett today, and Joe Humphries, the
manager of McGovern. has also been
notified
From Young Corbetts talk after the
offer had been received there is more
than PROBABILITY that the Baltimore
stake will be accepted, but there Will
surely be plenty OF hHggling over the
affair for the next week. Corbett has
the side bet idea tirml~ fixed in his
head, and he says that he will not go
into the ring with McGovern unless
there Is some sort Of a sporting pr0pO-
sition up other than the division Of the
purse money.

The Chisolm DefaIcation.

The defalcation of $4,000 from the
First National bank by young Chisolm,
the paying teller, was brazen in the
way it was done, but the defaulter was
quickly caught and will be properly
punished
1t is a lesson in the evil of speculat-
law suppressing bucketshops similar to
that recently passed by the Georgia
legislature.
Fortunately, the First National bank
is partially secured by the bond COM
pany which guaranteed the young man,
and it is possible that some of the
money will be recovered from the brok-
erage concerns into which the young
man dumped 1t. AT any rate the loss
to the First National bank with its
tremendous capital and surplus will be
a mere bagatelle and will not affect
the institution in the slightest degree.
Like in all similar cases young CHS
ohm had been with the bank from boy
hood and was one of its most trusted
employees. The fact that he was quick
ly caught and will be severely pun
ished will be an object lesson to those
who may be tempted.

Vulcan at Jamestown.

The setting up of the statue of Vul-
can at the jamestown exposition
should not be flippantly considered,
much less disposed of Vulcan had
small opportunity at the st. Louis ex-
position, where 1t was placed in build
ing surrounded by acres of exhibits.
1t was inconspicuous in that colossal
and boresome aggregation.
But if Vulcan were taken to the
Jamestown exposition and placed on u
good and enduring pedestal at the side
of the sea, the big Iron Man would at
tract no little attention. The subject
is one that deserves serious considera-
ticr.
The committee that has charge of
Vulcan has money enough to put Vul-
can in prominent position on Sewells
Point, Hampton Roads, and there is no
reason in the world why the god of fire
and metals should not be permitted to
rust out by the sounding sea. The Age
Herald is not simply DESTROYS of un,
loading Vulcan on another state. The
figure is an excellent illustration of this
district, and it should be utilized to
serve season at Hampton Roads, thus
earning some at least of its cost and
Keeping.
All that is lacking is pedestal and
that could readily be contracted for. II
should in fact be cut from Alabama
marble, and then the marble beds and
the iron ores of Alabama would both
be held up before the world by simply
placing the figure in good position at
the jamestown exposition.

BYERLEYs OFF FOR EUROPE.
Trip Out of Profits of Two-Cent Stamp
Investment.

From the New York American.
Ensconced in a modest stateroom in the
second cabin of La Gascogne, which
sailed today for Havre. were Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel Byerley. They are to take
a tour of Europe as the result of Mr..
Byerley's flyer in finance with a two
cent stamp and over six million dollars
worth of nerve. This capital netted Mr..
Byerley about $4,000, out of which he
will pay for the trip on the continent.
Mr.. Byerley is the accountant connect
ed with the finance department of the
American Express company at its local
offices. who recently secured an option
on the 100000 issue of Panama bonds.
This option he sold to ]. S. Bache & Co..

amount. at least a profit of 10000 per
cent.

Bucket Shons in Geornia.

After January 1 bucketshops, brokers
who deal in futures and wire houses
are to be driven out of Georgia. Spec
ulation is to be abolished in that state,
and all the people are to return to the
plan of paying spot cash for spot goods
The legislature of Georgia has SO de-
cided, and what the Georgia legislature
says every Georgian will of course
hasten to obey
At present Georgia has forty-three
bucketshops which pay the state $43,-
600 year as license fees. Nine Of
them are located in Atlanta, which has
long been the bucketshop center of the
state. The state will lose $4,000 a
year in license fees, and Atlanta will
lose the profits heretofore derived in
them from the lambs of Georgia. In
Atlanta alone fifty first-class telegra-
pliers, observation-disclosures and clerks
and nine managers will be thrown out
of employment. The law is drastic,
and "the wire houses" will have to
seek pastures new after January l.
The recent Birmingham experience
may lead to similar action by the Ala
bama legislature.

Mr.. Shonts' Labor Problems.

The West Indian negro Is not sat
isfactory laborer at Panama. I'VE can
only get" says Chairman Shonts, "a
60 per cent efficiency out of him" In
other words, he is 40 per cent below
par. This fact has led Chairman Shonts
and Chief Engineer Stevens to turn TO
labor from Spain and to labor from
China.
The prospective publication of an
advertisement calling for $500 husky
laborers from the rice fields of south
ern China has aroused the ire of Presi-
dent Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and a sharp passage of
pens has taken place between the labor
leader and the canal builder. Mr..
Gompers says Mr.. Shonts proposes to
violate the eight-hour law, and also the
law forbidding the bringing of Chinese
laborers into the United States or any
of its possessions. Mr.. Shonts fires
back promptly by saying that the eight
hour law does not apply to alien I'M
skilled labor at Panama. 1t would ap.
ply to unskilled labor at Panama If 1t
were drawn from the United States,
but his legal advisers tell him 1t does

The MAN WITH The HOE,

By Edwin Markham.-(W Written after see
ing the painting by Millet)
God made man In His own image, in
the image of God made He him.-Genesis.
Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rapture and de-
spair,
A thing that grieves not and that never
hopes,
Stolid and stunned, brother to the OK?
Who loosened and let down this BRUTAL
jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back
Whose breath blew out the light within
this brain?
Is this the Thing the Lord God made and
gave
To have dominion over sea and land;
To trace the stars and search the heavens
for power;
To feel the passion of Eternity?
Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped
the suns
And marked their ways upon the ancient
deep?
Down all the stretch of hell to its last gulf
There is no shape more terrible than this
More tongued with censure of the world
blind greed
More filled with signs and portents for
the soul
More fraught with menace to the universe.
What CULTS between him and the sera-
phim
Slave of the wheel OF labor, what to him
Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades?
What the long reaches of the peaks of
song
The rift of dawn, the reddening of the
rose?
Through this dread shape the suffering
ages look
Times tragedy is in that aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity be-
trayed,
Plundered profaned, and disinherited
Cries protest to the Judges of the World,
A protest that is also prophecy.
o masters, lords and rulers In all lands
Is this the handiwork you give to God,
This monstrous thing distorted and soul
quenched?
How will you ever straighten up this
shape;
Touch it again with Immortality;
Give back the upward looking and the
light; !
Rebuild in Ii the music and the dream;
Make right the immemorial infamies,
Perfidious wrongs, immedicable woes?
O masters. lords, and rulers in all lands.
How will the future reckon with this
Man?
How answer his brute question in that
hour
When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the
world?
How will it be with kingdoms and with
kings
with those who shaped him to the thing
he is
Wher this dumb Terror shall reply to
God.
After the silence Of the centuries?

Literature Instead Of Statecraft.

In the days before the war southern
men turned to statecraft rather than
to literature. Virginia became the
mother of Presidents, and every south
ern state stood ready to furnish men
admirably equipped to handle pubic
affairs. The late Senator Hoar said
the southern men had an aptness for
command, and generation after genera
tion in our earlier history they served
the country honorably and with rare
acceptability.
But in those days scarcely a south
erner became distinguished in litera-
ture. We had in those days no sgd
ney Lanier, whose sonnets are more
esteemed by cultured readers each adj
vancing year. Joel Chandler Harris
had not then created his Uncle Re
mus" character that will live as long
as English literature does. The best
sellers" are written today by southern
ers. and on every hand we meet books
written by southern men and women.
And now we are to have a play writ
ten by a southern man. Julian Harris
has written a three-act farce comedy,
entitled 1.-The Girl from Keith's," and
It has been accepted by Nixon & zim-
Norman the well-known Philadelphia
theatrical managers, who propose to
stage 1t in fine style. Many southern
stories have been dramatized, but Mr..
Harris forthcoming play will come
straight from the hands of southern
writer. He is the eldest son of Joel
Chandler Harris, and if his first play
is stage success the south will be
started in new and attractive branch
of literature, and Indiana will have to
look to her laurels.

not fit aliens at Panama. The line
drawn is a trife hay. but Mr. Shonts
is master of the situation, and his in
depreciation of the law goes" at least
at present.
Mr.. Shonts' defense of his action in
bringing coolies is ingenious even if
it is not ingenious. Let us give him
the benefit of his ownAwords. He says:
As to the statement of Mr. Gompers that
the.existing law excludes Chinese 1aborers
and coolies from the United States or
any Of Its possessions, the Panama canal
zone is an American possession, and It is
as much a violation of the law to bring
Chinese coolies there a. 1t is in other por-
lions of our country, l can only say that
the commission has secured the opinion
of the highest, legal authorities of the
government. 1t has been held that such
law does not IMPLY to the canal zone.
The law excluding Chinese from the
United States and It's possessions was
passed in March. 1903, and specially set
forth such laws should only be applicable
to territory at that time subject to the
authorities of the Unied Staes The canal
zone was acquired subsequen to that date,
and Congress has not extended Its pro-
visions so as to embrace the canal zone.
Mr.. Shonts pledges the government
to a return of all Chinese to their own
country when theirvwork is completed
at Panama. and thus they will not
come in any way inscompetition with
American labor.
The task at Panama is huge and diff
ficult, and 1t is perhaps but just that
the hands of the canal commission
should be left free within the law. Mr..
Shonts crowds the law pretty close at
several points, but he takes no posi-
ton that the situation does not force
upon him. He turns from the West
Indian negro to the Spaniard and the
Chinese because he does not know
where else to seek labor in vast num-
bers for use in a pestilential climate.

Natchitoches is big parish on the
Red river in the heart of Louisiana.
Alexandria is the county town, or par
ish town. and cotton is king in it. The
boil weevil did some harm to cotton
plants in the parish last year, but this
year they threaten to do great deal
more. Reports are, however, some
what conflicting. but all the agents in
the parish of the federal bureau of
entomology admit that the situation is
grave. The insects are active, greedy
and aggressive. The center of damage
is Derry in Natchitoches, and the cot
ton fields in that locality will scarcely
escape serious harm.

From the Kansas City Star.
I T is a shame that such friend and
servant to mankind as the mule should
be given the reputation 1t has in liter
allure, or, rather, in newspapers and car
ICONS. The mule doubtless does not know
of it's utilization, and If 1t did, would not
care; but the friends of the mule do care,
and the friends of the mule are all VINO
know them. In nothing has the good,
hard sense of the Missourian been better
shown than in raising and using mules,
for the mule pays for every bit OF care
and appreciation the Missourian or any
body else bestows
Superfcially the mule has the reputation
of being vicious, stubborn and kicker
He deserves none of these characterize
tions, and the average Missourian knows
1t mighty well. The mule is not naturally
vicious, and 1t takes the biggest KIND OF
fool of a man to spoil the temper OF an
animal. The fictional stubborness OF the
mule arises from the fact that when 1t
appears stubborn it usually has good
sensible reason to be- and the real mulish-
ness is In the man. The mule knows bet
ter than he does why this or that should
or not be, and Is resolute. Whatever KICK
ing propensity the mule has Is derived
from the horse side of h ispedegree, and
that is minmized by the patience, COM
placency and docllty he gets from the
other side of his pedigree. The mule Is
not so easily startled as the horse, never
acts the plumb crazy fool and hurts NM
self like a scared horse, but as his heels
are his natural defense, he will use them
in the pinch of necessity or apprehension
1t is not wise thing to come upon
any animal of the horse kind, full kin OF
half-breed and touch 1t without first let
ting 1t be known yousare around, no mat
ter how gentle the animal may be. Ihe

eIrmInaham PeeuIlarIty.

There is one striking popularity about
the Birmingham people, said a stranger
last night. "They have the appearance
in most respects Of city bred people. but
they don't know how to walk right.
Nobody pretends to keep to the right, as
is the custom in every town of any size.
They zig gag across the sidewalk and act
as though they had rather run against
you than not The consequence Is when
the streets are at all crowded they hamper
each other by being uncertain as to which
side to take.
I'm New York for instance, the thou
sands of people on Broadway never have
any trouble in handling themselves. You
never see them fall over each other in
passing. The reason is 1t is the invariable
custom to keep to the right. Down about
Brooklyn bridge, even at a little after
o'clock in the afternoon, when the offices
and stores are closing and that section
is as animated as an ant hill, you will al
ways see two distinct streams of people,
one to the right and the other to the left.
If it were not for this habit they would
never get along at all"

RATS PROPAGATE DISEASE.
om the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
Scientists are thoroughly convinced that
rats are the most prolific propagators of
the plague and a campaign of extermina-
ton has been begun against them In ia
pan. No less than 100000 rats have been
killed in Toxic alone since 1900. A Jap
snese scientist says: IAN the civilized
nations have to fight this common enc
my, the plague. believe that there ought
to be an International conference to dis
cuss a plan, collect money and organize
an international army to fight and van
quish this disease from the surface of the
earth. The expedition should be sent
to the region of India an6 South China.
The expense needed for such an enterprise
would be only a small part of what the
civilized nations are spending for their
armies and naves.
