A HIGHWAY OF EMPIRE.

ANADA naturally was disappointed in the
outcome Of the recent Imperial Conference
Of Colonial Premiers in London, but she has
already found in a proposal made in the
closing days Of the conference partial con-

Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-03-30

Over in Europe there are many
happy towns where the note of the
mosquito is never heard, and the in
habitants don't care a snap about
the pennyroyal market But in
America the cities which can claim
to be mosquitoless would not run up
to a dozen. Denver is one of them,
and, strange to say, Grand Rapids,
Mich, only a short way from the
gnat Gehennas Of Lake Superior, IS
another. The explanation is that
the city is built on hillocks of drift
sand, so deep and so finely pulver-
ized that they absorb moisture like
Tissue paper. Stagnant water does
not get a ghost of a chance to accu-
mulate, and mosquitoes have car
ried their cargo of microbes to more
congenial markets. = Health Gull

A Mathematical Wonder.

Jedediah Buxton was the great
Jest prodigy of mathematics that
ever appeared in England. His ed
ucation was very limited, and he
had never been taught arithmetic or
indeed any branch of mathematics,
SO that his abilities in this respect
were peculiarly natural He would
walk over a piece of land and tell
with exactness how many acres and
square rods were contained in it.
His memory was so great that while
resolving question he could leave
off and resume the occupation again
the next morning or a week, a
month or several months later and
proceed regularly till it was COM
pleted.

Barkeepers' Union.

The Minneapolis Bartenders
Benevolent and Protective asso-
CATION has been granted char
err under the constitution of tht
3'ate of Minnesota. The main OBJ
j9ct Of the organization is to "es-
rouse the cause of true temper
nee, to suppress the sale ofadul-
rated liquors and to instruct it's
members along educational and
moral lines"
The bartenders contend that
most of the resultant misery and
Dad effect Of drunkenness are due
O The use Of impure liquor,
They affirm that if the poor stuff
we're banished from the market
there would soon be no agitation
against the saloon. BY true tenn
oerance, the bartenders mean the
moderate use of pure liquors. The
members are to prohibit the use
of profane language in their res
pective rooms and to do all in
heir power to do away with
wine rooms. 1t is believed in Min
ueapolis that the movement will
mean the lifting of the lid that
has been held tight and will re-
suit in the better regulation Of
the saloons of the state if it be-
comes widespread

Makes Waste Ashes Burn
Like Goals.
Makes

Altoona, Pa, March 25.-The
ingenuity of an aged, hard wor-
king cobbler, John Gilmore has
succeeded in bringing the waste
producti.of ashes into service,
and by means of a prepared COM
pound he makes them burn
more readily than coal. He has
applied for patent.
By small quantity of this sub
stance and mixing it with little
water, then sprinkling it over tn e
ashes and stirring them up with
coal he makes them ready to
burn.
Gilmore took as basis for his
experiments the getting Of I've
from the ashes. He worked long
before he made his discovery,
The ashes from a ton of coal are
converted into fuel with a small
1ortion Of his compound, and
when burned only a small clinker
is left.
A test was given at a local cleo
trio Illuminating esta blisbment
-oday. One of the boilers
was heated by Ellmore's method
and the nine others with bituml-
,ous coal. The one furnace pro-
luced greater heat than the nine
hers com bined.

CLEVER THIEVES.
Guatemala Pickpockets and Their

from Central America with a pris-
oner, "'but the Guatemala operators
have our local artists beaten to an
omelet.
II was standing at the corner Of
one Of the main streets of a Guate-
mala city about noon one afternoon
watching the handful of people
abroad. A prosperous looking man
passed me. | took particular notice
of him because he appeared to be
well decorated with jewelry. He
had heavy finger rings, a massive
raw gold watch chain and earrings
of a curious pattern. I was think
ing how he would delight a New

yards away to look into his wallet,
a fat, bulky affair.
Gust then a young man about
six yards distant gave shout and
ran toward the man with the wallet

ard stood perplexed for just about
two seconds. In that time | saw
tie young man run into him, knock
him down by the force of the col
lision and race toward me. AS he
came | saw him stow away the
mans watch, several rings and the
wallet.
81 shouted and made a spring for
him. He ran into me, lodged a
swing | made at him and was across
tie street in an inconceivably short
time. started after him and saw
him run into a third man. The
third man tried to hold him, but he
might as well have tried to catch a
bunch Of forked lightning. The
man was away and up an alley in
two minutes after he had run into
the first of us.
"When we compared notes it was
found that he had skinned the first
mans fingers of rings, got one of
the earrings, the wallet and the
watch and chain Third man had
lost a handsome pin from his tie
and his watch and chain.
What did you loseY they asked
me.

Complaint having been entered

Complaint having been entered
this week against Satan, the huge
Dane dog. because he was not
licensed, Marshal Chapman took
up a collection for his benefit and
his license is now paid. Cradle
& Grasse donated a collar and he
is the ward of the town. Satan is
the friend of everyone. the play
mate OF all the children and proba-
bly, has more friends on the town
site than any animal in town.
Considering these facts, also that
he never shows the slightest
symptom of being cross, makes it
appear strange that anyone should
complain of him.

a Words Birthday,

1t is curious to see how a new word
extends our vocabulary. For instance,
the discovery Of photography has led
to 234 words being added to the Ian
guage DR. Murray fixes March II,
1889 as the birthday of the word pho
tography." 1t was on that day that
Sir John Herschel used it in a paper
which he read before the Royal So
clety The new word took root In
France, and two or three months later
when Argo made his report to the
chamber OF deputies concerning the
pension of N. Daguerrc he quoted
