BRITISH BOOZE
MAN STORY STARTED
British to Follow American
Fleet.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-(Special) =
Naval officers had something interest
ing to talk about yesterday, besides
the change, officially announced, in
the Bureau of Navigation. 1t was a
report, cabled over from London,
though Immediately denied by Brit
ish officials, that Great Britain was
preparing to organize Pacific fleet
to follow the movements of the Am
erican fleet now on it's way around
the South American continent
Of course, if it should prove true,
it would signify that Great Britain
was prepared to fulfill her part of
the Anglo-Japanese treaty, negotiated
about thirty months ago, just after
the termination of hostiIities between
Japan and Russia
British-Japanese Treaty
Article II of that compact, which
is to last ten years unless denounced
by one or both signatory powers,
reads: SHOULD either of the con-
tracing parties be involved in war
in defense of it's territorial rights
or special interests, the other party
will at once come to the assistance
of its ally, and both parties will
conduct a war in common and make
peace in mutual agreement with any
power or powers involved in such
war.
Great Britain has not yet denounced
this treaty
Same Kind Of Problem
But with the irony of fate, Canada
now has the same kind of Japanese
problem on her hands as the United
States.
JaDanese were attacked in Van
couyer recently and treated even more
barshIy than their compatriots in San
Francisco and other points on the
Pacific Coast. Consequently it would
he an incongruous spectacle to see
the mother country take up arms with
JaDan aginst the United States over
an issue in which one of her own off
spring was as deeply concerned.
The President has formally stated
that the battle ship squadron has gone
on a mission Of peace and skeptics,
who at first saw blood red, have
become more or less treasured. But
If a British fleet should be found
lowering around Evans fighting ma
chimes in the interest OF an Asiatic
ally, there might be an unexpected
announcement.

COTTON DROPPED,
THEN SHOT UPWARD
In Local Market Buyers
We're on Holiday.

Following a depression in the ear
ly session, cotton contracts grew
stronger during the second hour OF
Yesterdays market, and prices bound
ed to a level considerably in advance
of the close on Tuesday, the gain be-
ing maintained until the close. Liver
pool at the time of the opening OF the
American markets was fast going TO
rack and this had disconcertlng
effect on this side. After the EngIlsn
market had folded its tents for the
day the improvement over here be
came pronounced From appearances
it seemed that the English Market
was being hammered by interests on
this side for a better buying basis
to cover sales made in the foreign
market. The display OF strengIn
which became so conspicuous IN tne
afternoon came as pleasant sur

BIG DIVIDENDS
FOR BONDHOLDERS
More Money Than Ever
Before to be Paid.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-(SpeciaD -
It is estimated that bondholders will
receive nearly $2O0,0OO,00O within the
next day or two, the sum represent
ing the end of the year interest and
dividend disbursements of the great
corporations Statistics show that
more money will be paid out to hold
ers of stock and bonds this end of
the year than ever before. About
$1G5,000.000 is being paid out to
holders of bonds, while the dividend
paying stocks will distribute $77 ,000,-
600.
The fact that copper companies
have been forced to cut down their
dividends and many railroads and in
dustrial concerns have been forced
to either pay in script or reduce
their dividends has not changed the
general total of dividend and interest
payments. The reason for this State
of affairs is due to the larger CAPT
talization and bonded obligations, all
Of which have been doated this year
or in the latter part Of 1906.
Head over shoulders Of industrial
corporation in the matter of the end
of the year coupon payments, the
United States Steel Corporation tow
ers. 1t will pay out this week ST.
Gal 900. The Consolidated Gas Com
pany is second, with $1,3970O0 The
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company will distribute $1,SS5,00 In
the list of dividend payers, the Union
Pacific's disbursements lead with a
total Of $4,8S7,450. The Southern Paci-
fc is second, with payments of 49,
4S7, 900.

FOR ALIENATION OF
WIFE'S AFFECTIONS
'SOuI Love- Theme of
Cosmos Letters.

NEW YORK, Dec. z7-(SpeciaD-
George J. Hermann, a real estate
operator. of the Borough Park dis
trict of Brooklyn has been sued by
Capt Charles B. Stoddard for $780,
GOO damages for the alleged alterna-
ton of the affections of Stoddard's
wife, Ella st. Claire Stoddard. A SER
les of letters alleged to have been
written to Mrs. Stoddard, and which

love" and "affinities" and things oc-
cult, figure in the proceedings
All of the missives are signed Cos
mos" They have to do with love
not of this EARTH" and like mystic
sentiments. Capt. Stoddard aims to
fasten the authorship of the letters
upon Hermann. The latter said last
night that he had not seen the writ
ings in the possession of the plain
tiff and could not say who might have
written them until he had looked them
over
Hermann asserted that he had new
err tried to win Stoddard's wife, and
as for aflinities, he had reached the
conviction that they were all TOM
myrot." Hermann is married, has
fodr children. The Stoddards live
near by. Capt Stoddard is in the
service of the Ward Line Steamship
Company. They were married in
1902 About a year ago Mrs. Stod-
dard went to work in Hermann's Of
flee in Borough Park as a stenograph-
er and bookkeeper 1t is alleged
that her employer was soon paying
attentions to her. Last March Mrs.
Stoddard went to Nova Scotia, where
she remained about a MONTH 1t is
alleged that she received the Cos
mos" letters while there.

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies FruitIsss-Suf. fered 10 Years - Completely
 Cured by Cuticura.

Small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs and shortly afterwards they became so sore that I could scarcely walk. The sores began to heal, but small sealy eruptions ap- peared. The itching was so severe that would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. After I suffered thus about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctor in my native county and many remedies gave no relief. All this was fruitless. Finally my hair began to fall out and 1 was rapidly becoming bald. A few months after, having used almost everything else, I thought I would try Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was restored, after fourteen years Of suffering and an ex- 3enditure of at least $50 or S60 in vain- ly endeavoring to find cure. B.

The hailstones varied in size rang ing from the size of hickory nut to several pounds in weight One which was found the following morning was as large as a mans head and weighed five pounds The fall of hail began in the evening and continued two hours without intermissioa and with destructive violence Cattle were killed in large numbers in the fields, and houses, barns and fences were broken, while vegetation was cut down, and the trees stripped of their foliage.

 What is it, Lucy?" I asked

 Correct" said I; but what other name has it?" expecting some one to answer "cranium' All were silent for a while, then little fellow who seemed to be in a deep study quickly raised his hand, his eyes sparkling and confident smile spreading on his face.
 What is 1t, Henry?" I asked.

Boil WeeviI in Bradley.

J. J. Moore, special agent of the Bu- reau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, who was detailed by the government two weeks ago to visit the southern tier of Ar kansas counties and make a careful examination of the cotton crop has discovered the boil weeyil in Brad ley county. Last year boil weevils were found in Union and Columbia counties, but they did little damage to the croo in the two counties. Elf forts were made to destroy the pests and most of them were gotten rid of. In many places they were extermi mated last year and thus far have not been heard of this season. The boil weeyil is migratory pest and travels about 10 miles each year. It is not expected to reach Hampstead coun- ty before next season. An effort will be made toArevent the weevils from advancing Jeyond the Bradley sec tion. MT Moore says they are doing great deal of damage to the cotton in that locality.
