The wonderful thermal baths here
are presided over by two most typ
ical and Interesting colored people,
and these hot pools are so feet in
diameter and the water has temper
ature of SO degrees. Jackson, who
has been at the mems bathhouses for
these many years, is great authority
upon gout and rheumatism, a great
believer in the occult and the I'm
seen, in omens, and conjuring, and is
regarded with deep respect by his
own kind as a reliable and dependable
interpreter of dreams. Fanny Shep-
ard whose term OF service at the
women's bathhouse has been as long
as Jackson's, is as picturesque and
interesting a character as is he.
She was indignant because the ho-
tel official who personally conduct
ed" President Mckinley to see her
pool" had not only not officially pre-
sented her to him, but had not even
told her who he was. She COM
planned to me that when he come
from. the mems pool that seen Jack
son a-bowin' and a-congeerin' to him."
but that had not enlightened her.
She said further: THE president
would have been interested in me if
any one had told him that I have a
son who is a missionary in Africa,
and who is fellow of the Royal Geo
graphical society, of London, and who
had dined with Queen Victoria at her
own table at Windsor CASTLE"
All of which knew to be true, be.
cause | knew this son, William Shep-
ard, and during my early years at
the Warm Springs he was one of
the walters in the dining-room and at
the same time a Baptist preacher,
but he felt called upon to go into
the missionary field and he went to
Africa. There it was soon manifest
that he could exercise great influence
! over some of the most savage of the
African tribes. He is one of those
who has penetrated the farthest into
some of these African wildernesses.
He was invited to London by the
Royal Geographical society, which
made him one of it's members, and he
was invited by Queen Victoria, and
did dine with her at her own table
in Windsor castle.

The mayor believes that if he is
victorious in this fight he will have
litile trouble in keeping the lid

to be decided by the court is what

The laws state that saloon must
be closed on Sunday. The saloon

DRUMM SIGNS
FIRST BASEMAE
In Person of Bob Lin6eman
Of East Liverpool
New Player Also Catches a Good
Game aud Should Make a
Valuable Man.

A telegran Thursday from Man

baseball team of the O.-P. league
gives ont the Information that Bob
Linderman ct lllst Liverpool has
been signed TO cover the initial
sack for thc ocal team. Linder-
mar besides being clever first

around pDayer can backstop as well
as he can play fast base. lie will
make a valuable man TO take the
place of Lusky Should the regular
catcher get hurt.
Linderman has played for Drumm
before and al the close of the sea-
son last year Drumm wanted Mar
ion to get the man even though
they had TO draft him. The local
club was able to gel Lindeman as a
result Of the Stewart-lauzon trade
with Steubenyille. The three play
ers and the money consideration Sc
cured made the either deal possi-
BILE.
Drumm further says That he had
rounded up two las, infieldeus who

eft of every doubt, but did not nee
essarily charge the state out f
court.
The largest crowd OF the week at
tended Wednesday afternoons ses-
sion, the court room being simply
jammed with humanity and the cor
ridors were filled with eager listen
ers who hoped to hear something
sensational, quality, by the way,
of which the trial was absolutely
devoid. In the crowd. there were
perhaps 200 women and girls.
Thursday morning the court house
janitors swore softly under their
breath as they gazed on the ruin
wrought by the eycitable attendants
at the trial. Over a dozen seats were
broken down and not a seat in the
room was without the imprint of
great hob nails, left by eager and
curious auditors, who stood in their
seats to get n better view of the
prisoner and witnesses.
The highly polished bookcase in
side the railing, has projecting
ledge about four inches wide, run
nine about It, about a foot from the
floor and this was used to stand on
by n number of people; the result
being that it will have to be repol-
i5hed and repaired.
II was necessary several times
during the latter part Of the after
noon for Judge Young to have the
bailiifs stop the loud talking and
laughing on the outer edge of the
crowd.
During the past three or four
years. there have been number of
indictments returned against Ital-
!aus, from crimes Of various degrees
Of seriousness, but there has as re.
been absolutely no conviction. Each
year, the race is becoming a little
more strongly entrenched in this city
and each year the law violations are
becoming a little more flagrant and
daring; but because the prosecution
in the majority OF these cases must
rest upon the testimony Of Italians
themselves, the state has yet failed
Of CONVICTION.
The Gioffritta murder was one of
the most cold blooded in all the
history OF Marion county, but mental
and moral certainties as to the in
nocerce or guilt of an accused man,
has no weight IN law, and for the
reason that no one saw the crime
committed; that no motive for its
commission was proven, Giuseppe
Gioffritta is once more a free man.
The cost to the county will run
not lower than $500, possibly $1,000

UPHOLDS AUTO RACING.
Great Factor in Development Of the
Touring Car.

The recent discussion in automobile circles on
the question Of racing has led ]. d. Maxwell 10
say the subject:
AT the present time there is a strong feeling
against racing automobiles on tracks. and perhaps
this is justified in view of recent fatalities, but
there is another side the story. The big road
races which held abroad and contests like the
Vanderbilt Cup OF last year have always been
great factors in developing the industry, and do
not believe II is putting it too strong to say that
ii not for these contests the touring would
be far from its present state of perfection.
To the layman racing and touring are totally
divorced yet a matter of fact they closely
allied. The problems Of building a successful rae
ing and a successful touring practically
the same There has never been a where the
designer who constructed a successful racing car
has not been able TO turn out thoroughly reliable
touring
Il do not wish to put myself on record as stand
inE up for racing as il now exists. but do believe
that the best interests of the automobile business
are served by holding some races OF international
importance.'

mittee II will be sent 10 the rules committee of the
Royal and Ancient Golf Club at St. Andrews Scot
land. The st. Andrews committee as a result Of
recent correspondence, has volunteered to send an
advance copy OF the new rules this country for
suggestions before bringing out the next revision
IN May. The American committee will send its
consensus of ideas without awaiting the advance
copy, in order TO save time and to facilitate the
work of the st. Andrews committee
All clubs in the United States Golf Association
have been asked for Views the present rules

latng the opinions from the answers and they will
be embodied in its consensus. Practically, the
rules are pronounced good in substance but there
are objections regarding the undue severity OF
certain penalties and OF the too lenient nature OF
others The trend of opinion however IS al
most unanimous in urging a change of wording
and Encouragement of the rules TO make them a
better working code. The report TO be sent To ST
