the privilege of carrying the baggage

dent trade, much to the chagrin of the
regular expressmen.
Teams and licenses for the week
cost $45, while the two took in more
than $1,000. When this was divided
both had enough to carry them
through the college year.
Another enterprise giving every
promise of success is the Yale stu

Well, now, for a test said the
owner, you just grab me by the

LOCATES RARE TREASURE.
0lvinlns Rod Employed to Find Lost
Gold and Silver.

London. Stears, the famous
Yorkshire water diviner, has located
the hulk of the Spanish treasure ship
in Tobermory bay by the aid of the
divining rod.
He found the hull split In two right
from the bow to the stern, and the
cannon, which had been thrown out at
the time of cleavage, ranged in two
rows alongside,
He has also distinctly located two
chests of specie, one containing gold
and silver coins mixed. and has fixed
the positions of no fewer than IA
bronze guns, all of one type and four
feet nine inches in length. He is sat
isfied that when these are recovered
the rest of the equipment of SO guns
and the bullion will be easily reached
Mr.. Stears carried out his operations
over depths varying from 8 TO 12 faith
oms of water, but the details of dis
tances and the dimensions OF the
chests are reserved for the use of the
treasure-seeking syndicate. Very lit
tie of the ship remains, but metals are
there in abundance.

which he explained fully, is as fol.

He holds his divining rod over the
stern of the boat as 1t proceeds and
Immediately on coming over a mass

Indiana Woman Introduces Innovation
in Thieving.

Indianapolis, Ind Am innovation in
the way of thieving is credited by the
police to Rosa Josephs, a woman of 2s
who has been sent to the workhouse
for stealing lids from sewer manholes
about the city's streets. 1t is cbarged
that the woman stole four from the
streets on the South Side. and II is
suspected that more missing lids
might be traced to her efforts in this
line
The police We're mystified bv the
first report of the thefts The lids
seemed to have taken wings. FINALLY
Detectives Simon and Hauser were de-
tailed on the case. They suspected
that the lids might bring a fair nrico
at junk shop, and after calling AZ
several shops located one. II was
found that Mrs. Josephs had sold tbio
lid, and others which she had sold
were afterwards located. In all fonr
were found. The lids are worth ono
dollar apiece, but were sold bv the
woman for 20 cents each.

New Haven, Conn.-The Yale stu

prises to supply at least additional
money for college expenses.
The Yale dining hall, outside of the
dormitories themselves, was one of
the first business enterprises started
as a money making concern for the
college. 1t now serves 1000 persons
at every meal and has a waiting list
of 200.
The Yale cooperative store sells
everything from a pin to a pony The
college runs it's own heating and

side corporations, ard the dormitories
house 5000 men.
Recently an order went forth from
the college officials prohibiting the
selling of light fixtures and student
lamps on university property except

THE FIRST TO DEFY
REAL BIRTHPLACE OF AMERICAN
FREEDOM.
In Little Town Of Charlotte, Nortn
Carolina, in May, 1775, Convention
Assembled to Declare for In
dependence.

Nesting in the Piedmont region OF
North Carolina stands the little town
of Charlotte. To-day 1t looks sleepy,
and peaceful and quiet but In colon
ial times IL was perhaps the liveliest
place in the old north state. Indeed.
at least one of his most gracious maj
esty's officers referred to it as the
hornets nest" of America. This cpl
thet. born of baffled wrath, was not
misappled, says Harper's Weekly. Al
most from its first settlement by the
sturdy Scotch who emigrated thither
early in the eighteenth century. from
their native land or from temporary
abiding-place in the north of ireland,
Mecklenberg county, of which Char
lotte is the center, was famed as the
habitat of irreconcilables. The early
annals of North Carolina bear abun'
dant testimony to the temper and
spirit of the men of Mecklenburg, and
as the years passed and the British
yoke became more and more unbear-
able, nowhere was disloyalty more
openly voiced than among the glades
and hills of this charming region If
it be true of the rest of the country
that the prevailing sentiment in the
period Immediately preceding the rev.
olution was for an amicable settle
ment of the difficulties with Great
Britain, it would seem certain that
in Mecklenburg at least, there was

tirely from the motherland, and enter
ing upon career of Independent ma
tionality This opinion, If the claims
of the Mecklenburgians and their de-
scendants are to be accepted, cul.
minated in May, 1775, in the adoption,
by regularly elected delegates to a
county convention. of bold and war
like declaration of independence, set
ting forth the wrongs under which
the colonies were laboring, and in no
uncertain terms asserting that we do
hereby declare ourselves a free and
Independent people; that we are, and

self-governing people under the power
of God and the general congress; to
the maintenance of which independ-
ence we solemnly pledge to each other
our mutual cooperation, our lives, our
fortunes, and our most sacred honor"
AS the story goes. the convention
was the outcome of several earlier
meetings of the leading spirits of
the county, held for the purpose of
ascertaining the attitude of the inhabi-
tants with respect to the claim of par
lament TO tax the colonies and other
wise regulate their internal affairs.
So soon as it was learned that open
opposition to the home authorities
would receive popular support, Thorn

the county, issued an order to each
militia captain directing him to call
company meeting for the election
of two delegates to county conven-
ton. This was done, and on May 19.

Iowa Supreme Court Decides In Favor
of Pretty Actress.

Des Moines, la.-Actresses who re.
fuse to wear tights. models who are
ficlle about the style of their corsets,
and baseball players who are given to
jumping contracts are upheld by the
Iowa supreme court in decision
handed down the other day, the opin-
ion written by Justice Weaver,
1t is in the case of corset com
pany against Helen c. Crosby, in
which $4,000 s demanded because the
pretty actress broke her contract to
pose in the curve" corsets at Sioux
City, and went to wearing Straight
fronts"
The case reached the higher court,
which said she was entirely right. Her
objection to her contract was that the
company insisted on an advance man
whose reputation or character she did
not know. In his opinion Justice Wea.
yer takes occasion to lament the decis-
ion of another state, which enjoined
Lillian Russell from appearing IN one
company because she had jumped her
contract with another on the ground
that the tights they required her to ap.
pear in We're too cold.
Justice Weaver says that courts ac.
tion was an "uncharitable conclusion"

yearly by this outside venture.
Among the minor ways OF making
money tutoring is considered by Yale
men to pay best. Many Yale gradu'
ates have paid their entire way
through college by this means.
Among the agents. those selling
typewriters. fountain pens and other
me, cnandise reCc'~c from 20 to 30
ne, cent, while those soliciting mag
azine subscriptions receive from 30
to 35 per cent. Medical students and
those IN the Sheffield Scientific school
must buy instruments or tools that
that are costly Rival firms pay as
much as 40 per cent commission to
ctudents who sell their classmates
these necessities.
Plans are in the air now for still
furthering the commercial side OF
Yale by establishing a printing de
partment. 1t is pointed out by those
who are anxious to see such an en-
terprise started that an enormous
amount of money is expended yearly
by the university for printing cata'
logues, pamphlets programmes, of
fetal reports, books written by the
faculty members. athletic pro-
grammes, class and year books, to say
nothing of the dozen or more publica.
tions daily and periodical Such a
university printing establishment
would furnish employment for many
students who are trying to earn their
way through Yale.

man White was placed on the special
train and taken to Anderson for safe
keeping. He was shot in the hand
and is not seriously hurt. The
troops will remain in Honea Path
until the inquest is held this morn

While excitement was intense i'm.
mediately after the shooting, it
gradually subsidized as time passed,
and when the military arrived the
streets were cleared and order was
restored. The Ashley clan began to
thin out and while it is expected to
gather in for the inquest, no further
trouble is expected. The troops ami
good citizens of Honea Path will
prove too much for any unlawful in
reference, and none is expected.
ALL QUIET AT MIDNIGHT.
A later dispatch, received at mid
night, says: The military company
from Anderson, under command of
Capt. p. X. McCully, reached here
on special train at 1890 p. m. Po-
liceman White was placed under
arrest by Sheriff Green and sur
rounded by the company; he was
marched from his hiding place to

ately to Anderson under the charge
of Deputy Sheriff Noel Scott.
After the shooting John Marion
Ashley was carried to DIR. Payne's
office, where he was given every
medical attention possible, but in
vain. In three hours after the
shooting he was dead.
