TO BUY JEFF
DAVIS HOME
Movement to Restore and Pre-
serve His Birthplace

RICHMOND, VA, Sept. 18.-Inquiry
here develops the fact that Confeder-
ates generally approve the movement
just launched for the purchase, restor-
alton and preservation of the birth
place of Jefferson Davis, in Todd
county, Kentucky, and official en-
dorsement is expected to be voted at
the next meeting of the camps.
The opinion, however, seems to be
that the inclusion of the people of the
North in the invitation to contribute
to the memorial fund will not yield
much in the way of sympathy or fin
ancial aid.
Gen. Simon Bolliyer Buckner, who
made the proposal at a Confederate
gathering at Klascow, KY, last week,
is a Virginia man.
The Jefferson Davis Kentucky Home
Association will be modelled along the
same lines as the Lincoln Farm AS
sociation, and the success of the move
ment will mean in the next few years
that the birthplaces Of both war
Presidents will be set aside as ma
tional shrines.

HEARING IN CASE OF
SOUTHERN RAILWAY
For Recovery of Damages AS
sessed as Penalties.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., Sept Is. (Spec-
iaD-Whether suits for the recovery
of damages as penalties of the pas
senger rate law can be pushed
against the Southern Railway Com
pany pending the trial of the other
actions pending will probably be de-
cided today at hearing to be given
here by Judge Pritchard to all the
parties concerned. The hearing is on
an application made by the railway
company for an injunction to prev
ent the prosecution of an action
brought last week in the superior
court of Alamance county against the
North Carolina Railroad Company for
penalties for the sale of tickets at
more than IA cents a mile. The
North Carolina Railroad Company is
leased by the Southern. The plain
tiffs in the suit take the ground that
if North Carolina plaintiff sues a
North Carolina company under a
North Carolina statute the federal
court has no jurisdiction. The decis-
ion in the matter will probably hinge
on the question whether the North
Carolina Railroad is an integral part
Of the Southern system.

CATARRH IS Durable.
Successful Experiments is Abating
and Curing This Disease.

Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary
disease and should not be tolerated
for a single day now that Hyomei is
so generally known and has made so
many cures in Americas and other
towns.
Until comparatively recent times
catarrh was thought to be a blood
disease and stomach dosing the only
treatment Modern science finally
disproyed this idea of the cause of
catarrh, and found that it was a
germ disease, and, after many expert
ments, the remedy was decided to be
Hyomei.
Hyomei medicates the air you
breathe; it kills the catarrhal germs;
it heals the smarting and raw mem
branes of the passages in the nose
and throat; it cures all catarrhal
troubles.
As there is life and health in the
air in the mountain tops where the
pine forests give off their fragrant
and healing balsams, so there is life
and health in breathing Hyomei. There
is no need fsuffering from catarrh
if the simple and natural treatment
of Hyomei is used.
So sure is this prescription to cure
even the worst cases of catarrh. that

mrs. ASTOR IS
NOW NEAR DEATH
millionaire Son of Aged Woman Ad-
nits That Her Reign as Leader
of the Four Hundred
Is Ended

BOSTON, June 29.-r Crs. William AS
tor has become SO weak that all plans
nave been abandoned for the opening
OF her Newport home this summer. Col.
John Jacob AStor says his mother, In
his belief, had not long to live.
Mrs Astor has been failing for more
than year, since she began buying
extravagantly in Paris She bought
bright colored gowns by the score. and
assured her friends of her intention to
make the social season of last winter
the crowning triumph of her career as
leader of the 400. The gowns were suit
ed to girl in her teens.
When on the way to Newport last
rail- Mrs. Astor collapsed in this CITY
and for several days death was feared.
She was attended in hotel by several
physicians from New York. Gradually
she gained strength until she was able
to stand the journey to her New York
home, S42 Fifth avenue.
With the slow sapping of her strength,
Mrs. Astor has fallen victim of delu-
sions. She has spent days at a time
planning balls and supper parties.
Hundreds of invitations have been
made out, with all attention to detail,
only to be burned as soon as carried out
Of the aged womans sight.
Mrs. Astor could only be led to eat
by her nurses making pretense of refus-
ing to give her any food. Then with
visions of her former dominion Mrs.
Astor would order meals and when
food was brought would eat in the be-
lief she had gained a great victory.
One delusion of Mrs. Astor was that
the table should be fastened to the cell
ing, declaring that guests could not be
comfortably seated with the table in
any other position.

SAVE LIVES BY
USING SHIRTS
Fireman Kelly and one-Armed COM
panion, Drenched to Skin, Battle
All Night in Dory on
Jamaica Bay

Special to The Herald
NEW YORK, June 29.-Swept hither
and thither by the tide- of Jamaica
bay, Michael j. Kelly a Brooklyn fire
man, was adrift in rowboat all
Thursday night with a one-armed man
whose name he does not know.
Kelly, who lives at A Wyckoff street.
Brooklyn, spent the day at Cockaway
beach and there fell in with the one
armed man. After sailing about in
launch which finally broke down they
left it at Rockaway Point md started
for Barren island in a small dory.
A stiff row of a mile Ind a half
faced them. The tide was running
strong and the lind hat tossed up a
nasty cross sea. They had only sin
gle pair of oars and one oe these wars
snapped off soon after they started.
The tide carried the Loaf out and the
wind freshened into a small gale. 1t
also began to rain.
Fishing craft coming in passed near,
but the storm drowned the cries of the
helpless men and the darkness shut
them from view. A big schooner came
dangerously near running them down.
The downpour of rain soaked them
and the little dory was leaking so badly
they were forced to bail for their lives.
Big waves menaced the frail craft and
several times it was almost swamped.
AS the hours went hy .Selly and the
one-armed man saw the lights of Ca
narsie and the other resorts in the dis
tance flicker out.
At last they rugged their shirts into
a sail and used their one oar as mast.
To the corne' of the shirts they tide
scme fishing tackle and in this way
held the improvised sail to the wind.
Their improvised sail saved them
from being carried out into the open
sea, for the tide had turned and was
running out through the Rockaway
inlet. Had they drifted farther they
would probably have been lost.
When dawn broke Kell-- and his
companion Sc that they were close to
sandbar, and soon afterward they
ran aground near Irish creek. Both
were nearly exhausted from their eX-
ertions. Soon afterward a catboat with
two baymen oame along, an: at 6
o'clock they reached Canarsie shore,
after having been twelve h RS adrift.

! WATERBURY, Conn, June 29.-Tom
Thompson and Gus Mattoon, fishermen
of this place, qualified tonight for the
nature taking finals. Footsore and fish
less, they trudged back to town and
told a tale that brought handkerchiefs
to the eyes of the awe-stricken villagers.
At critical parts of the story, where the
truth appeared to be sagging, Tom cor
roborated Gus and Gus reciprocated.
I'VE were out on Kensington pond, y
began Tom, as he settled himself on
soap box. For several hours the fish
took the bait as though it was cooked
to order for them, but they refused to
get sociable and stay awhile. 1 was
just getting ready to release my crouch
when 1 felt a tugging at my pole. 1
looked and saw giant fish with my rod
between his teeth. Just as l called to
Gus the fish barked and took fresh
hold of the sapling. Then he started
on wild run around the pond, pulling
the skiff after him.
Gus gave me a hand and we both
clung for dear life. By this time the
fish was just skimming the water and
we were moving so fast that the trees
looked like a hedge"
Sort of snap the whip, suggested
bystander.
Now you're talking" interrupted
Gus, who by this time had refrained.
Luckily had placed the bait in my
hip pocket" continued Tom. Just as
we were beginning to feel like whipped
cream, the angry fish turned suddenly
and ran in the opposite direction. The
boat turned turtle, and Gus and I went
to the bottom. On the return trip
heard a scream and turned in time to
see the frenzied fish sink it's teeth in
Gus boot. Our yells attracted some
Woodchoppers who ran to our assistance
and helped us ashore"
Must have been a whale?" chorused
the crowd.
II hardly think So" said Tom. "But
it was the biggest fish 1 ever saw.
When it disappeared meath the surface
the water rose five feet. Didn't it,
Gus?"
Yep" replied Gus
| At this point someone suggested a
fine place to get bait, and the party dis
| persed.

CLARK, S. D., June 29.-Despairing
in their efforts to attract the unmar-

of Clark have petitioned the city coun-
Gil to put a tax on all single men be-
low the age of 40 and to administer
chloroform to all above that age. The
petition will be passed upon at the next
meeting of the council. It's contents
as presented to Mayor William Nc
Gam are as follows:
1--WE, the unmarried women of Clark
petition the city council of said city
an ordinance demanding of all unmar-
ried men tax to be graduated as fol-
lows: From 20 to 25 years, So; from 25
to So years, $40; from S5 to 40 years.
$40; over 40 years, use chloroform in
large doses.
1--WE, the petitioners, further assert
that bachelors are a barnacle on the
growth of society. They are of no
earthly use except as pall-bearers. We
are not advocating such law because
we are single. That concerns us the
least We hope immediate action will
be taken by the council in the matter
and that all newspapers and citizens
will assist us in securing the passage
of such an ordinance"

Youth Who Confessed Robberies Cuts
His Throat in Missouri jail

BOLIVAR, Mo-, June 29.-That obliv-

to efface from their memory the dis
grace he has brought upon them Clyde
Doner, % years old, in Jail for robbing
the Bank of Aldrich, Mo-, cut his
throat here last night, after a futile
attempt with two companions to break
ial. He died shortly afterward.
Doner, William Dunbar and Edward
Waggoner we're crested here last
Tuesday. Doner, who showed his
youth, took the situation keenly to
heart. He wrote letter to his father
and mother begging forgiveness and
admitting that he had taken part in
seven robberies. One passage said:
"I am in trouble and In Jail. 1t will
be about sixty days before 1 get a
trial. l made a confession to seven
robberles which 1 am guilty of. 1 do
not know what will become Of me. l
may be sent to the penitentiary for
the rest of my days. I may get life
sentence and l may get paroled on good
behavior, but 1 don't know"
Then came the jail-oreak failure,
with the knowledge that it meant a
heavy sentence. He wrote another let
ter. drew a razor across Lis throat and
ended it all. The second letter follows,
in part:
"I am sorry that 1 must take my
own life, father and mother. In death
you can forget this sorrow, but with
me in the penitentiary you could never
forget Mother, you have been a true
mother to me. Father, YOU have been
true father to me. My brothers and
sisters have all been true to me. 1t is
all my fault-trouble 1 made for my
self. Take it as well as you can. Good
by, father; good by, mother"
The letters were addressed in the care
of Alice Doner, 715 South Clayton

1t was in a narrow pass that Mr..

displayed evidence of terror. Then the
carrier saw the snake in the middle Of
the road, it's head raised menacingly
above the spirals of it's body.
Selling a heavy whip he jumped from
the wagon, and after a lively fight,
stunned the snake and tossed 1t into an
empty mail sack. Its length was sixty
four inches, Mr.. Barnum said.
