RlGHT.HANDED - LEFT-LEGeED.
Popularity Of Humanity That Is Not
Generally Considered.

Most people would think that as
man is, with very few exceptions,
"right-handed,"" he would be at the
same time "right-legged." But this is
not the case Almost every right.
handed man uses his left leg more
than his right. For instance, most
people find it much more natural to
60 round circles to the right than to
the left. That is because they start
with the left leg. Being stronger, it is
more readily brought into action, and
it is on this account that bodies Of
soldiery always start to march with
the left foot. Almost all courses for
foot races are made out for running
to the right, and dancers will indorse
the statement that the majority Of
movements are far more easily exc
cuted in this direction. The left foot
Is the one that is placed in the STIR
rup for mounting a horse, and in
jumping, it is from the left foot that
the athlete takes off," Thus it will
be seen that, as a general rule, fright
handed" people are "left-legged."

owes His Life to Umbrella.

During the Franco-German war a
man owed his life to an umbrella.
He was so obviously a foreigner that
the French arrested him as a German
spy. He swore that he was English,
but was disbelieved. A drumhead
court-martial sentenced him to in
slant execution. AS they led him
away he insisted on returning, as he
had left something. He could not re-
turn, they told him; he was now go.
ing to be shot. But he must go
back, he declared. What had he
left? they asked. my umbrella" he
said. They were instantly convinced
that no n but an Englishman could
be SO helpless an idiot. He was at
once liberated.

Fought Bears with Axes.

Two woodchoppers, armed with
axes, had a battle with a huge. black
bear and four partially grown cubs
on Mt. Pico, says a Rutland (Vt.)
correspondent of the New York
Times. They killed two cubs, but the
mother and other cubs got away.
Luther Weeks and his son Clinton
felled a large tree and it crashed down
into q clump of bushes. Angry growls
followed, and the four bears, who had
been alternating under the bushes,
made for the men. The men fought
and won. The cubs that were killed
weighed 100 pounds each. The men
declare the old bear was fully eight
feet long and would weigh about 500
pounds.

Attorney Generals Offiee Answering
 Letters on Trust Suits.
 Washington, Aug. S-Concerning fre- quent requests at the Department of Justice for information as to prosecu- tions of alleged trusts and railroads, Acting Attorney General Russell today said:
 T am daily answering inquiries which indicate that all kinds of un- founded rumors concerning investiga- tions and intended anti-trust@suits and prosecutions by this Department, are afioat
 ''FortunateIy, or unfortunately the Department Is quite unable to do one tenth as much work as it Is supposed to be doing.
 q understand that some of these ru- mors have been caused by Judge Lam dis's fine and troubles between the railroads and the State in Michigan, Alabama and elsewhere, particularly over State laws reducing rates.
 'So far as the fine Is concerned. it may have operated to convince inves- tors that such part of their dividends as come from relating and other ille- gal practices will be less certain in the future As for the railroad rates and controversies, possibly some dividends have been swelled by exorbitant local rates. My own view is that whether lower rate will lessen dividends or ln- crease them by increasing travel and shipments is chiefly matter Of exper- inout I presume 1t was upon being convinced of this that some of the rail- roads abandoned their preliminary in function of State law and as of doubt fuI legality, if a permanent injunction shall be properly upheld on full proof and after some little time for experi- ment.
 this department to aid in the speedy determination of all the questions in- volved in the railroad rates contro versy by the Supreme Court and in that high tribunal the rights of all will be safe and soon settled When the De- partment shall have continued a while longer enforcing laws against rebating and restraints and monopolies of trade and the result cannot fail to be sounder and less tainted prosperity"

automatically set. and the car, or train of cars, is stopped within a very short distance
 The weight of the car whether it be loaded or empty, when the false wheels hit the rails rests directly upon the journals, the same as though the reg ular car wheels were on the track
 To avoid damage, such as usually ensues. when a journal breaks. a DOT ton of the safety appliance consists of heavy tubing. through which the journal should break. 1t cannot drop down upon the track, nor interfere in any manner with tAe running of the car.
 At yesterdays demonstration, in or- der to make the effect all the more startling. the air was cut of entirely. Not a brake was in use, either auto matic or hand. when the car fitted with the safety appliance ran over the de- railing frog.
 Under those circumstances there was nothing whatever to aid the safety appliance itself in stopping the car. And yet, after sliding along for per- haps a car length and half. the car came to a standstill. with each of the eight wheels off the rails, but not a particle of damage done.
 The regular wheels of the car. so far as could be ascertained from a min ute inspection had never touched the ties. The ties at that particular point in the yard are somewhat rotten, and had the wheels once hit them, they would have been gouged and torn in terrible manner, as in the case of an ordinary car jumping the track.

FRANCE HARD TASK.
Press Foresees Many Difficulties that
 Wiu Arrive.


 Paris. Aug. s.--In spite of the firm Intention of the French Government to keep within the terms of the Al geciras convention in its dealings with Morocco. the French press clearly foresees that France, unless the situa- tion rapidly improves, has entered on a long and heavy task.
 /The newspapers express the opinion that France, on which the chief bur den In restoring security in the dis turbed country will fall, may be forced to occupy in turn all the Moroccan ports and then probably be compelled to undertake a punitive expedition to Fez after which 1t would be impossi- ble to withdraw, as was the case with the English in India. As the British bombardment of Alexandria enhanced the prestige of Great Britain in Egypt, so 1t is argued. the French lombard sment of Casa Blanca will ahve sim liar effect in Morocco.
 An expedition to Fez, the newspa- pers point out, would. like the British parallel.
 The Petit Parisien today prints an interesting interview with high per- sonage at the German office, who in- dicates that Germany recognizes the logic of the situation and Is prepared to acquiesce in FranceS '1ncontesti- blc predominance" In Morocco, provid- ed France Is prepared to give "quid pro quo" in the shape of admission of German and Germany industrial secur- ities into the French market.

NOT A SCRATCH
 BY DETAILING Safety Appliance Works
 Perfectly. CAR MADE TO JUMP TRACK Wheels Prevented from Touching the Ties or Doing Any Injury. Inyention by James T. Andrew, Montgomery Man, Given Demon

 road Yards and Makes
CAR MADE TO JUMP TRAcl

A freight wreck in the West End yards of the Mobile and Ohio Raii- road late yesterday afternoon resulted in not one cents damage.
 A switch engine, running at the rate of perhaps fifteen or twenty miles an hour, pushed a flat car over derall- ing frog, all eight wheels leaving fhe rails. hut there was not a scratch to be found on either the wheels or other portions of the trucks of the car, nor was there a single mark on the rails over which the car had run.
 The reason for this astounding state of affairs was that the car that was derailed was fitted with the safety apr pliaAce invented short time ago by James T. Andrew, a Montgomery man, who has made a close study of me chanics, and especially of mechanics as applied to the manufacture of ears
 The safety appliances of the Mont gomery man worked to nicety. The two or three men who, with the con fdence born of mahy opportunities to witness the demonstration, rode the car that was thrown from the track, were scarcely even joited. One of them stood up on the floor or the car , throughout the performance.
 A party of perhaps a dozen men from the city. joined by nearly quite as many raiiroaders from the Mobile and Ohio yards, witnessed the demon stration, which took place about S:SO o'clock yesterday afternoon. And not one of the entire party was anything but pleased All except the railroad CTS were surprised, but the demonstra- tion was such that MT. Andrew was showered with congratulations upon his invention when 1t was all over
 Mir. Andrew explained his tnven- ton before the demonstration took place. It is very simple. In fact il is so simple that 1t appeared to the uninitiated that 1t could not possibly effect the purpose fro which it is de- signed.
 "It certainly looks good. but I'm from Missouri" declared one skeptic, just before the demonstration
 "I was from Missouri" said the same man, just after the demonstration. but I'm from Alabama now-and proud of It."
 The apparatus, in it's essential fea- lures, consists of a false wheel on either side of each car wheel This wheel, which has a surface of some six inches, is so placed that whenever the car jumps the track, in either dt- reetion, from whatever cause, the false wheel lands squarely on the rail, and in such a manner that it Is impossi- ble for the car to range more than a very few inches from the proper track
 The instant that the false wheel hits the rail, the air brake of the ear Is

 the PrOprietOrs.
 Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. S.-Ludwig Sczegiel, said to be an unattached Poll ish priest, of Chicago, walked into a Southside Hotel at HI Carson Street today and without warning, 1t Is said, shot and fatally wounded the two pro- prietors, twin brothers, named Steven and Andrew Starzynski. Steven died within an hour and the physicians say Andrew carrot recover.
 The cause of the shooting is a mys- Lery. Sczegiel, who was arrested maintains a sullen silence and nothing could be learned from either of his al- legged victims.
 When Sczegiel came to Pittsburg about ten days ago he went to the hotel kept by the brothers; accompanied by a woman whom he introduced as his housekeepeT. They secured an apart ment of two rooms. The woman, who gave her name as Francisco Sprock, is held as q suspicious person. She denies all knowledge of the shooting. Scze- giel. 1t Is said had been drinking heav- fly ever since he arrived in the city.
 It was stated by Mrs. Starzynski, wife of Andrew, that shortly before the shooting a noise was heard In the apartments occupied by Sczegiel and the woman Her husband, she said, went up stairs and reprimanded the pair for making a disturbance. He then Joined his brother in the dining room. In a few minutes. she says, the priest appeared and opened fire.

European residents of Gas Blanca had all along deprecated any action by the French with an insufficient force and this view the French had been with difculty induced to accept and even over night in announcing their inten- tion of occupying the town the French had apparently believed their fleet would arrive immediately and that no resistance could be expected. Tn fact Muley Amin had previously declared his willingness to surrender the town on being uniformed that resistance would be futile.
 With the firing of the first shot the authority of Muley Amin and his or ganization vanished His soldiers ,bolted with their rifles, leaving the town exposed to rapine and pillage in which they themselves participated. By breakfast time we began to see men staggering along the streets un- der heavy burden and white robed Arabs, carrying guns and mounted on fine horses, began to ride about direct ing the footing operations. Even wo- men were seen carrying loads and as- sisting in the pillage.
 After time we could hear the sound of hammering on metal and we knew the looters were trying to force the safe of the State bank. Then we
 
 the Jews and we knew they were be- ing beaten and murdered by the Arabs There were other indications tha the French were not able with the small force at their command to secure pos session of the three landward gates The increasing number of Arabs en- gagged in the work of pillage showed us that attracted by the sound of fir ing, the tribesmen were galloping in to fulfill the dream of the Arabs life, the footing of a town.
 Throughout all the disorder and disturbance, however, not the slightest menace was offered the British consul ate
 During the morning the French cruisers Forbin an Du Chayla and the Spanish gunboat Don Alvaro de Bazan arrived but it was 2 o'clock in the af- ternoon before further landing parties succeeded in stemming the footing in a small portion of the town.
 The wailing and the shooting in the Jewish quarter and the section in- habited by rich Moors continued and the horrors that took place subse- quently in large sections of the town not covered by the French and the Spanish rifle fire never will be told From the back of the consulate I saw Jews being beaten and shot and their houses being emptied by a rabble led by Arabs. I saw Moorish women be- ing dragged squealing from their houses. People who knew the local conditions best decline to speak or think of the horrors to which the towr of Casa Blanca has been subjected"

DESCRIBES THE HORROR. Englishman Tells of RapIne and Loot
 at Casa BIancn.

at Casa Blanca.
 London, Aug. S-A long distance letter has been received here from an l eye witness of the recent events at | Casa Blanca.
 It is dated August 8. The writer | says that Saturday and Sunday passed perfectly quiet in Casa Blanca, Muley Amin, the military governor. having employed soldiers to guard the town from Arab attack and done everything possible conscientiously to secure its safety.
 There were number of Arabs twelve miles distant" the writer goes on. but a majority of them had re- turned to their interrupted harvesting and 1t was supposed that the French would attempt nothing with the small force available from the Galilee We all retired to rest with quiet minds. At o'clock Monday morning, how ever, we were suddenly alarmed by a summons to repair to the British con- sulate owing to notice from the Cali lee that it was intended to land a force and occupy the town at o'clock.
 Tt was understood that the Galilee had been in wireless communication with the other warships and had re- ceived instructions to get a party in side the town In order to facilitate subsequent operations. An American resident of many years, Captain Cobb, declined to take shelter at the British consulate, consequently the Consul sent part of his guard of soldiers to protect Captain Cobb"
 The correspondent then described the landing of the French force be- tween and o'clock, and the subse- quent events as narrated in former dispatches. Continuing, he says:
 "Singly and carrying disjointed ri- Ana Ia1 4, Na picion, a party of the Galilee men had been conveyed Saturday on the ter race roof that commanded the fort shore and corner of the town and also took in the water gate batteries from the rear.
 "A furious musketry fire broke out along the water front. a dull booming from the old Moorish battery showed that after all Muley Amin and his sol- diers were doing something.
 Tn the meantime the roar of the Gal ilee's guns increased and shells were seen bursting all over the Moorish quarters. Wounded men were seen draggin themselves along the streets. In twenty minutes all seemed over; the fire ceased. But this was only a lull. for the firing soon was resumed and was continued intermittently until half past in the evening.
 "Then Muley Amin, with a number of other white robed officials came to the British consulate, offering to sur render. The Consul referred them to the French, Consul. They objected, saving that it was impossible to ap- proach the French consulate because the Spanish consulate was already fir ing on every Moor who passed in the street and they feared a similar re- ception from the French consulate. Consul Madden thereupon gave to Mu- lev Amin a formal letter of introduc- ton to the French Consul. and advised the Moors to carry white flag. They then went on. Their mission appar- ently was successful for the firing soon ceased and at o'clock public eriers were about proclaiming that the town was to be shelled no longer. We ate our next meal with quietness.
 Tt should be explained that tRe
