Enef0V and Enthusiasm Which Defied

Decatur, Ca, Nov. "a handsome
granite shaft erected in the courthouse
square was unveiled here today as an
everlasting memorial to the Confeder-
ate dead OF DeKalb county. The cere-
'mony was made the occasion for a
grand demonstration in which every
veteran in gray who was physically
able, and many a one who was not,
participated with an energy and en-
thusiasm which defed the life-snap-
ping years that have gone since they
-%-
bore arms for the South.
A parade of the veterans, school
children and fraterna1 orders was fol-
lowed by the ceremonies of unwilling.
The address of the day was delivered
by Hon. Alexander Hooper, whose a
ton was followed by brief speeches
from anumber of other notables.

Harper's Weekly, a publication that
is not political, but n that with de-
liberation watches the trend of public
affairs, has this to say of the financial
troubles brought on by Mr.. Roose-
Welt:
1.-THE recent senseless runs on banks
have been due to the fact that Mr..
Roosevelt hadtreally convinced the peo-
pie that nobody was homes but him
self-and he was helped out in the de-
m~onstration most OPPORTUNITY from
time to time by the appearance of sinis-
ter examples. The past few weeks have
done much to extinguish this mis-
chievous notion. The people have now
discovered that while Mr.. Roosevelt
may render useful service in a distinct
i've way by stirring up things, when it
comes to meeting an emergency with
constructive skill and courage he is as
unified by temperament and ignorance
as a child and instinctively stands
aside. We can quite believe the story
that when he heard of the Westing-
house failure he shook his head sadly
and said: why, I didn't mean to hit
them!'
~"Summing up the net result: It is
our profound conviction that the
Roosevelt panic marks the beginning
of the n of he political careers of
both Roosevelt and Bryan, and hat a
sane-even quiet-man will be elected
President n yea hence. If SO the
intervening period of general depress-
ion which seems inevitable will not be
wholly without it's compensations."
It is now said that the President is
busy "toning down. his message to
Congress, and he is probably at last
aware OF the terrible blunder he made
in his reckless assault on the business
interests Of the country. He cannot
restore to the small depositors the loss
they have sustained, and the wreckage
he has made may drift beyond human
ken, but, he may do something toward
restoring confidence and reha bilitating
| the public credit, which has suffered
through his misguided strenuosity.

UucIe Alex DiSc0ntS On
 Lie History of Old Gabel

The echoes of a sharp knock resounded and resounded through the vacant corri- dors of the Presbyterian church last night The lights were out, and the building was full of that heavy atmos- phere which denoted the recent presence of a general assembly.
 In a moment there came through the darkness from the pulpit the voice of the prophetic janitor, Uncle Alex, as he stood in moderatoric style tapping the gavel on the table.

FOY DIES EN ROUTE
 TO THE HOSPIDAL
DRIVER OF FIRE DEPARTMENT TRUCK SUccUMBS TO BRAIN
 FEVER-A BOY PASSES AWAY
 SUDDENLY FROM MENINGITIS.

w. H. Foy, driver of the truck at Fire Department No. l. died yesterday after noon of brain fever while in an ambu- lance on his way to St. Vincent's hos pital. He had been In very good health until Monday afternoon, when he com plained of a pain in his leg. He went to bed at the department headquarters but did not think he was sick enough to have a doctor. Yesterday morning he was still feeling badly and a physician was called in, who prescribed for him for malarial fever. Lather in the day he became worse and a physician was called in again, who immediately ordered him to the hospital. He was very low and the physicians did not have any hopes for him, but thought it best to remove him to the hospital and
 an ambulance was called. He was too
 far gone, however, and expired before the hospital could be reached.
 The deceased's home was in South Caro- lima and his family has been telegraphed
 as to what disposition to make of the body but up to a late hour last night they had not been heard from. He was very popular with his fellow firemen and
 his sudden death comes as a shock to all of them.

POLICE USED IN THE
 GOULD DIVORCE CASE
OFFICIALS ARE IMPROPERLY IN voLVED IN DOMESTIC AFFAIRS, CHARGES MIR. eoULD-JERoME AND BINGHAM INVESTIGATE.

New York. May 21.-Intimations that certain police officials had improperly interested themselves in the domestic af- fairs of Howard Gould and his wife, for merly Katherine Clemmons, an actress, resulted in a conference today between Dl- .rict Attorney Jerome and Police Com missioner Bingham. Since Mrs. Gould recently, by the service of papers upon counsel for her husband. indicated her intention of bringing suit for separation, it has been consistently declared that the plaintiff charged among other things a conspiracy against her in which sal ared officers of the police force were in- volved.
 Commissioner Bingham has given much time during the past few days to an in- vestigation along this line and today he sought out the district attorney.
 the conclusion of the conference MT. Jerome said:
 "The only thing I can say to you is that there is vast difference between a police force which lends itself to collect evidence to prevent blackmail and a police force which collects evidence to be used for blackmail."
 Commissioner Bingham refuses to dis cuss the case. Mir. Jerome and Delancey Nicoll, counsel for MT. Gould, also had a conference during the afternoon.

A Humorous Mistake.

From the Savannah Morning News.
 humorous mistake was made by a rural visitor in a restaurant on Brough- ton street last night in which a Sal vation Army lassie and her tambourine figured
 The stranger was seated at one of the tables in the eating house, consuming a meal for which he had not yet paid, when the door swung open and the bonnet and blue dress of the Salvation lassie appeared. The extended tambou- rine was held out to guest after guest and each contributed a small coin to sweet charity. front of the visitor in jeans. He was puzzled for a moment.
 How much is 1t wuth?" he finally asked.
 The lassie smiled and replied:
 "Oh, as much as you like"
 The countryman looked at his unfin- ished meal and then dropped a quarter in the tambourine.
 Thank you" said the lassie, and went out again on her rounds.
 The guest finished his meal and arose. 1aking his hat he had reached the front door when he was called back by the proprietor.
 You haven't paid" was suggested to him.
 "Oh. yes, I paid the girl with the leather basket" he assured the restau- rant owner.
 There was silence for a moment. Then the restaurant man beginning with sim pie, easy words, explained to his guest patiently showing him his mistake.
 Another gold brick" was his first thought. but he finally realized he had given to. charity unawares, and joined in the laugh that followed when he caught on.''

From Harper's Weekly.
 A small boy entered busy grocery in Baltimore not long ago, carrying in his hand an advertisement of the store clip ped from a newspaper.
 What do you want, son?" the grocer asked, pausing In one of his rushes from the meat-block to the canned goods shelves.
 Put down." the little fellow said read ing from the advertisement, ten pounds of sugar at five cents pound, an four pounds of coffee at thirty cents a pound, an two pounds of butter at twenty-eight cents a pound, an two cakes of soap at five cents each"

 Whirlwind rushes by Bone. pretty stops by Mccarthy and mighty drives by Farrell figured directly in the To- calls victory of last evening.

NEW BRITAIN KILLS IT.
Chief Rawlings Knocks Out Boxing
 and Prize Fights.

New Britain, Nov 30.-A very small number of local boxing en- thusiasts, in fact less than 100, less than seventy-five, less than-but what's the use? If the attendance is pared down any finer the affair won't seem to warrant the space given 1t here-assembled at Hanna's Armory last night to witness the box ing exhibitions that John F. Willis was to provide b. way of entertain ment at his smoker" Had there been any method of knowing before hand how things were to turn out the among those present" list would be even smaller.
 About all that the sports got in return for their coin was Chief Raw lings in two limitations of Aphrodite rising from a sea of blue.
 The chief, who was at the ringside with Sergeant Grace and squad of "the finest" ordered both of the pre- liminaries stopped before they were we'll under way.
 Jimmy Carroll of Springfield and Mike Shea of IIolyoke were slated for the first boTt and stepped into the ring about 9:30, an hour late. They were to go six rounds at 126 pounds. Both appeared to be over the weight. They finished the first round unmoleSted. A few Hove taps" were exchanged, but Got blow delivered had enough force be- bind it to displace either of the con- testant's second helping of turkey. They were just about started in the second when Chief Rawlings ordered the pugs to desist.
 Joe Ryan, local boy. and Jimmy Hardy of Hartford were down for eight rounds at 12S pounds. They went at it from the word go. and mixed it up so furiously that Chief Rawlings ordered the boxers out of the ring before half dozen blows were struck. Dick Grant and Billy Heating, who were to meet in the main bout, were not allowed to ap- pear
 From Chief Rawlings's attitude last night it is potent that the boxing game is doomed as far as New Brit ain is concerned.
