Minister Gummere. at Tangier cabled
the State Department yesterday that he
has been informed by the consular agent
at Casa Blanca on August 10 that that
town had been virtually destroyed, and
that the naturalized American citizens
there had lost everything. He also says
that the foreigners have left Alcazsr for
Larathe for security. Minister Gummere
considers the situation very threatening.
He says there is one French cruiser at
Tangier, and that It is expected in case OF
an attack on the town that the Moorish
soldiers will join the tribes. Many people.
he adds, are leaving Morocco for Spain.

Caushc criticism leveled against the
by means of a club win not avail to
change the plan which has been adopted
in this city to get rid OF ownerless and
worthless CANNES. Mayor Pan said this
evening that the officers charged with
the duty of catching and dispatching
dogs would continue their work along
the same lines. He believes that the
means adopted for giving the animals
their quietus is about as simple. effica-
ciOus, and humanitarian as could be de-
vised. He denies the charge that it en-
tails an element Of peculiar brutality
which could be obviated by selecting some
other approved way of execution.
The mayor takes the position that In
as much as the dogs have to be killed
in one way or another, IL is of no great
moment whether they are shot, chloro-
formed, or dubbed TO death, provided the
work Of dispatching them is done with
sureness. quickness. and precision.
Mayor Pan remarked that the scheme
followed in dispOsing Of the first batch
OF stray dogs caught had not been de-
vised by him or others concerned In
insututing the present crusade against
Owneriess dogs He added that the par
ticular method of execution had been

is considerable in comparison with those
which are likely TO become victims in

In Memory.

1t Is with regret we report the SAD
death of Mrs. Maud Caldwell Ellison,
which occurred May "a, 1907, aged 2e
years, months and days.
She joined the Methodist Church at
Union City when ii years of age, and
after her marriage with Mr.. Alonzo
Ellison with him joined the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church at Rives,
| and remained a consistent Christian
until her death.
She leaves mother and two sisters
the remnant OF large family-a hus-
band and two children, and many
friends to mourn her loss.
She was always an obedient and re-
spectful daughter, good wife and
kind mother. She bore her long suf-
fering patiently and cheerfully, and
near the end told her dear ones that
she must soon leave them, but be-
lieved that she would gain heavenly
home, as she was ready and willing to
go. With this blessed consolation,
they mourn not as those who are with
out hope. May the God OF tender
mercy bind up the broken hearts, and
may we all so live that when the sum-
mons comes we may be prepared to
receive the reward OF a heavenly home.
The body was laid to rest the fol-
lowing day at Pleasant Hill, funeral
services being conducted BY the Rev.
Thomas.

many coats that are pretty and

also Increasingly faddish. These
come at fairly reasonable prices,

FAIR JEWEss RECEIVES MEDAL
FROM ROYAL SOCIETY.
Enviabie Honor Enjoyed by Mrs. Her.
tina Ayrton--First Person Of Her
Sex So Rewarded for un-
aided Research.

London.-Mrs. Hertha Ayrton, who
is already known to some extent in
America, can now claim recognition
as England's foremost woman scient-
fst. She is the first woman in the
world to be awarded the Royal So
ciety's medal for her own unaided ef-
forts in scientific research. Nine.
Curie has the medal, it is true, but
1t was awarded to her jointly with her
late husband for their renowned dis
covery of radium
Oddly enough, Mrs. Ayrton is also
the wife of renowned scientist; her
husband being Prof. w. E. Ayrton, the
distinguished electrical engineer and
inventor. She is to receive the Royal
society's coveted medal on the last
day of this month, the occasion being
the annual banquet of this world
famous body. 1t was awarded to her
at recent meeting of the society's
council because of her Investigations
on the electric arc and also as to the
nature Of sand ripples.
Mrs. Ayrton enjoys two other en-
viable distinctions. She is the only
woman member of the Institute of
Electrical Engineers, and four years
ago was nominated a Fellow Of the
Royal society. This is the first time
the highest tribunal of English sci
ence had nominated a woman. 1t was
such an honor that 1t attracted i'm
mense attention everywhere. and opin-
ion was expressed that the election Of
a woman was illegal. The Royal So
ciety thereupon took the highest judi
cial opinion. which was that the coun-
Gil had no power to elect a woman.
Therefore. Mrs. Ayrton cannot put the
magical letters of "F. r. s." behind
her name.
She is well known in the United
States, for she visited there six years
ago, and at the Electrical Congress
in Chicago read one OF the most inter
esting Of the papers.
At 16. Mrs. Ayrton had graduated
and began to earn her living as pro
fessor at Girton college, Cambridge,
then in its infancy as a college for
women. She was surely the youngest
teacher in the history of Girton. 1t
was there that she took up her first
researches into mathematics and
physics. She invented sphymo-
graph for recording pulse beats, but
finding something similar on the mar
ket, abandoned hers and patented a

Swiss mountain men to make another

As 1t was she reached height of
$4,000 feet, being then about 1000 feet
above the summit. This was at her
first attempt. One of her men deserted
and the rest got drunk on the alcohol
which was carried as fuel for cook
ing. Besides they were all afraid of
the trip and especially as they ap-
preached the top of the mountain, of
which they have superstitious dread.
The second attempt was like the
FIRST, except that the men gave out
sooner and so less progress was made
before the attempt had to be aband-

PAUL REVERE,S HOUSE WE'D

reason of the object for which It Is
preserved.
Though the fact is not generally
known, the house is undoubtedly
much changed in appearance since
Revere's day. An architect who is
familiar with it says that in Revere's
day it was only one story high and
had pitch roof. Now it is of two
stories and has an ugly fiat roof.
Though it would be both more pic.
turesQue and more correct IL the extra
story was removed and the pitch roof
restored. it is feared that II such
change should be made there would
be great protest from people who
have always regarded the building as
representing in its present aspect
what 1t was when Revere lived In it..
The interior is very different from
what it once was. the rooms having
been rearranged to accommodate ten
ement dwellers and dodgers Beyond
the heavy timbers and possibly a few
Of the window sashes and doors, it is
doubtful IL any part of the interior of
1775 remains.
The house is believed to be 22O
years old. Revere bought 1t in ITO
and lived in 1t till about 1888, when
his enlarged income enabled him to
purchase a more pretendous house in
Charter street, in which he lived till
he died in 1917.
