WHAT OTHERS SAY.

The writer of Sporting Chat is not ready to withdraw that "one best bet" he made some time ago that the Pelicans would win the .pennant.
 AS far as the Pelicans are concerned they 1C ok stronger to the writer of this column than they looked when he first made the prediction that they would fin ish one, two.
 It must be confessed that there has been much astonishment here over the strength of one or two other teams in the league.
 ln other words, the writer of Sporting Chat didn't give Nashville, Little Rock and Memphis credit for having the swell teams which they have shown in the first five weeks.-New Orleans Item.

SomerviRe, N. j., July 21.-There
was a midnight man hunt here last
night in which a posse headed by AS
sistant Chief Of Police Bells, and
Town Commissioner Barris secured
the county north OF town for William

saulted William Rowe, a white resi-.
dent OF the toyn, on Main street about
midnight. Rowe is now in the Somer.
set hospital In precarious condition
with his face crushed In by rollingf
pin which was welded with terrible
force by the negro.
The assault on Rowe was so brutal
and unprovoked that IL led to threats
OF lynching by crowd OF infuriated
citizens. Kline and number OF ne.
groes who had been drinking, we're in
an ugly mood and started n fight IN
the street. A negro woman who pass
ed up the street carrying n number OF
kitchen utensils which she had Just
purchased, handed Kline a rolling pin
TO enter the fray. At the same time
Rowe was crossing the street and
Kline mistakIng him for participant
In the fight, dealt him n crushing blow
in the face. Rowe fell unconscious in
the street and II was at first believed
that he was killed, 80 terrific was
the blow.
The negro and his companions start
ed on a run up the street pursued by
three policemen, The negroes escaped
INTO the open country north OF town
and assistant Chief of Police Bells
subsequently organized posse to
search for Kline during the night. The
posse was carried to the outskirts Of
tho town In q hospital ambulance, and
other vehicles and turned loose, but 1t
failed TO get any trace of Kline.

In Canada the French settlers stiii
continue to uss large brick ovens
out Of doors such as were built In
France $50 years ago. The perfec-

last flfty years has driven many of
these ovens out of commission. but
many OF the Inhabitants think that
no good baking can be done in any

wood and when the oven Is exceed
ingly hot the ashes are raked out
and the large loaves ready to bake
are placed on the bottom of the
oven without pans. This method Of
baking makes very thick crouts

AMERICAN
Shoes Find Such Favor
in Europe That Substi-
tutes are Being Widely
Manufactured.
HOW TO GUARD INTEREST

Washington, July 21.-The bureau
Of manufactures has ready for issue a
pamphlet on the leather boot and
| shoe trade In European markets pi e.
pared by special agent Arthur B But
man. American made shoes are
shown to be. popular in all the coun-
| tries visited and their sale has become
so general that European manufacture
ers are initiating the American shapes
and styles, and the more progressive
Of them have imported the most Inn
uroved American machines. In many
cases the European limitations arc
stamped with the brand American
shoes"
II is suggested, to safeguard against
counterfeiting that American manu-
facturers should register their trade
marks In each country and the prices
In the currency of the countries In
which sold, should be stamped on
each pair Of shoes. to guard against
selling infeNor makes as first class
shoes. II Is recommended that Am
erican manufacturers should appoint
travelling statesmen and resident
agents, and that they should open In
the capitals and principal cities re-
tail stores In which their product
would be exclusively sold. as is done
In the United States.
1t 10 also explained that hanufac-
turers should make themselves famil-
lar with the tastes of the people. eli
matte and other requirements, and
vance in sales Of American footwear
manufacture accordingly.
One of the obstacles to a greater ad-
In some European countries is the
quality Of sole leather used. The fact
is overlooked that rubbers are not
worn to any considerable extent in
continental Europe. and that in, a
number Of cases the climatic condi-
tions are such that the use OF porous
sole leather renders the shoe unfit
for winter wear.
In the calendar year 1906 the Unit
ed States. for the first time exceed
ed Great Britain in the value OF shoes
exported, that Of the United States
aggregating s9.653,75 and Great Brit
ain ss,959.677., The grand total OF ex-
ports OF the United States OF leather
and Its products for 1906 was nearly
$41 100000. q considerable increase
