Halifax.
Commander Knowlton of the Canada
stated that the Prescott was clearly in
side of the limit. ana in this statement
he is ccrroborated by the other officers of
the ship. Other vessels of the fleet could
have been seized. but to make his case
good the commander of the cruiser seized
the Prescott, which was closer to the land
thar any Of the others.
While the skipper of the Prescott and
the commander of the cruiser were hold
ing conference 1t is stated that at least
six Of the American vessels threw their
seines over the line and hauled tie fish
to the other side. This was exciting and
dangerous work. as the vessels were LA
BILE to be carried over, but the abundance
of fish was SO tempting that the shippers
and crews took the risk of capture. The
officers of the Canada saw this infringe
ment of the law carried on almost under
their bows but she was SO busy with the
Prescott that no attention could be given
to the other vessels.
The sheriff of Halifax Saturday nailed

aboard until Monday, when the sheriff
will take charge Of the vessel. Tic fed

disposition of the mackerel on the Pres

reply had been received regarding the

~ under consideration the question of
filing the vacancy on the circuit court
bench caused by the death Of Judge
Townsend of New Haven. Both New

urged upon the President. but he is
rather inclined to take a Connecticut

Governor Of Georgia DisoIalms
Criticism Of President.

oyster Bay, n. Y, June 16.-Presi-

mer retreat was q Democrat. That is
to say, John Temple Graves Of Atlanta,
editor of the Georgian and a Roose-
welt Democrat, ran down from New
York Saturday morning. spent a pleas
ant hour at Sycamore Hill and went up
4 little after noon.
Mr.. Graves has become conspicuous
lately by proposing that the Republic
cans and Democrats jointly nominate
President Roosevelt in 1908. His candi-
date for second place is Hoke Smith of
Georgia. He suggested the Roosevelt
Endorsement to William Jennings
Bryan recently and the latter, after
much consideration replied that, as at
present advised" he couldn't see it.
Mr. Graves said at the railway sta
ton on leaving here that he had dis
cused no political affairs with the
President He had met Mr.. Roosevelt
at Jamestown on Georgia day, but had
had no opportunity to converse at any
length with him there, and had, there
fore, gladly accepted the Presidents
invitation to come down Saturday.

attach to my visit" said Mr.. Graves.
"AlI Georgia is grateful to the Presi-
dent for doing so much to make our
day at the Exposition such success.
All the South is grateful to him for
calling attention in his speech to the
resources Of our part of the country. 1t

of our President, to call and thank
him.

One day at the dinner table ola Rus
sian grand duke French Ambassador
extolled the dexterity of his fellow coan
trymen, as exemplified, among other
things, in the cleverness Of the Paris
pickpockets.
Ishould not wonder If theSt. Peters
burg pickpockets could give them a
START" replied the grand duke. And.
seeing an incredulous smile play
around the features Of the ambassador,
he added. "Wili you bet that before we
rise from the table your watch or some
other valuable will not be taken from
your person.
The ambassador accepted the wager
for the fun of the thing, aud the grand
duke telephoned to the chief constable,
asking him ut once to send the clever
est pickpocket he could lay his hands
on. The latter was to receive the full
value OF every article he managed to
"annexn and be allowed to go unpun-
ished.
The man came and was put into
livery and told to wait ut the table
along with the other servants. The
grand duke told him to give him a
sign as soon as he had accomplished
the trick. But he had TO wait a long
Tune, for the ambassador, whose watch
was The article to be experimental up
on, always kept OH the alert and even
held his hand to his fob when con-
versing with the most distinguished
guests at the table. Al last the grand
duke received the precoia.~ signal.
He at once requested the ambassador
TO tell him the time. The latter
triumphantly put his hand to his
pocket and drew forth potato instead
of his watch. There was general
burst of laughter, in which the ambss-
sador himself joined, though with a
wry face, for he was Enthusiastically an
noyed. 70 conceal his feelings he
would take pinch ofsnufl-his snuff
box was gone. Then he missed the
seal ring from his finger and lastly
the gold tooth pick which he always
carried about with him in little case.
Amid the hilarlty of the guests the

the articles, but the grand dukes mer-
riment was changed into alarm and

Nv ME tue people CI west Virgins
are celebrating the forty.fourth ami
versary of the birth of the state, 1t is
interesting 10 note that Charleston has
within her gates distinguished visit
or in the person of Hon. 4. w. Mann,
of Falling Springs, Greanbrier county,
who was a member Of the last session
of the first constitutional vention
which framed the constitution of 1868
and the first, fifth, sigth and seventh
sessions Of the Legislature, had great
deal TO do with the formation OF the
new state. Mr.. Mann, who is now in
the 74th year of his age, is here in at
tendance upon the sessions of the fed
eral court as n petit juror. He is still
hale and vigorous, and his eyes kindle
with light AS he speaks of the early
history Of the common wealth.
In discussing the Virginia debt ques
ton at the office of Attorney William
G. Barnhart, yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Mann said: "West Virginia, or that
portion Of Virginia which now COM
prises West Virginia, had nothing to
do with the other part of the state but
to send the sheriff over there to pay in
to the treasury revenues with which 10
build up the institutions of that part
of Virginia. If the bondholders and
the state of Virginia can show that
any more money was expended into
the treasury revenues with which col
lected from ii IN the way of revenues,
| am IN favor of them recovering the
excess. President Abraham Lincoln
refused to approve the bill providing
fos the admission of the new state I'M
til certain changes were made in the
constitution and one of the demands
made by him upoa the constitutional
convention was that the new state
should recognize the equable claim
OF the mother state. This was, there
fore done by the convention. But this
was for an accounting only. / believe
the result Will show that we owe Vir-
gina notnlhg.
Mr.. Mann, in those days, walked
from his home to Kanawha county,
and then went 10y steamboat to
Wheeling to attend the sessions of the
convention and of the legislature. He
speaks entertaipingly of his colleagues
in tina t convention, from Kanawha
county, Col Benjamin Smith, and
Judge James II. Brown, both of W hom
have been dead for some years. So far
as Mr.. Mann knows, he is the only
living member of the constitutional con-
vention. Only three members of the
first Legislature are yet living, Judge
j. M. McWhorter, of Lewisburg,
Greenbrier county. Mr. Hale, of Lewis
county, and Mr.. M Inn.
Mr. Mann will remain in the city
until the adjournment of the federal
court, some time in July, when he will
leave for his home in Greenbrier
county

The Simple Life

The Simple Life
Just leave the city's heated air.
And seek both JOY and rest
By casting all your load of care
On Natures loving breast.
Then visit each remembered nook
You haunted years ago
The pasture green, the pebbly brook,
The field you used to hoe.
Again you'll see the rustic gate
Where you were wont to lea
With her you deemed your chosen
A lass of sweet sixteen.
How like your boyhood days twill
seem,
AS leisurely you stroll
Down by the dear old silver stream
With baitand fishing pole.
The bank of yielding moss will be
A cool and restful bed,
With Natures azure canopy
uspended or your head.
The birds will twitterall day long
The notes you love to hear:
The bees will drone q harvest song
Familiar to the ear
The aster ana the golden rod,
Each buttertly's retreat,
win seem to give friendly nod
When e'er you chance to meet.
A zephyr VIII your senses steep
With incense from ihe flowers,
And give to y0u refreshing sleep
Through summers golden hours.
And when at last you must depart
10 join the din and strife,
There'l be yearning IN your heart
To lead 'the inple life
